Chapter 151

To be honest, Bi Chunliu felt relieved and touched when she heard Weiguo say that he was going to leave the house to his three sisters as a reassurance.

After giving birth to Nian Nian and Sui Sui, she reflected on the events of her past life, which had left her life tense for the first few years of her rebirth. Although her siblings didn't say anything, Bi Chunliu knew she was watching them too closely. They had to come home quickly after school, and they had to be back by the time she specified after going out. Any activities she considered even slightly dangerous were forbidden.

She'd heard people say the Bi family's eldest daughter had gone a little crazy after her parents died? She wanted to tie her younger siblings to her own belt? She was even stricter with her than when her parents were still around, and that children couldn't truly grow up without being beaten or played. Bi Chunliu didn't care. They just kept saying things they couldn't tell the truth. Who knew what kind of heartbreak she'd truly endured?

Xia He was quiet and reserved, thoughtful and attentive, always reminding her siblings when something was wrong. Wei Guo looked innocent, but he was also a good kid. As for Qiu Guo, she was like a perceptive little animal, sensing her inner uneasiness and often trying to cheer the family up. It was because of these thoughtful siblings that Bi Chunliu finally began to relax.

She suddenly remembered one afternoon when she went to pick them up from school. Someone had teased Weiguo for being so attached to his sisters, even at his age. Weiguo, who was still a bit short at the time, had held his chin high and said, "You know shit! We're like this because our family cares about each other. You're like me, staying out all night and no one asking if you've eaten, and you're happy? Don't think I don't know you're just dying for attention!" "No use being jealous. Your mother didn't give you any sisters." Then he was chased by the two furious kids.

"It's agreed to be for four people, so it's for four people. If you don't want it, I'll buy your share at the market price. You won't regret it later." Bi Chunliu wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. "Then I'll occupy half of the two rooms, and the remaining half will be for Xia He and Qiu Guo. Do you two agree?"

Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo both had no objections. It was three to one, so there was nothing Bi Weiguo could do if he disagreed.

A few days after the family meeting, Bi Chunliu found an auspicious day and went to Wang's house at the machinery factory to ask Wang Ying's family to set a date for the two of them to get married.

The machinery factory compound was full of buildings. Wang Ying's brother, a skilled technician, was assigned a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, even though he was hired later. Furthermore, the previous occupant of the household was a party secretary at the machinery factory, who had recently been promoted.

The person who opened the door was a woman with short hair and glasses, who looked very bookish. She was Wang Ying's sister-in-law.

"Comrade Bi is here? I'm Xiaoying's sister-in-law, Lu Shan."

Bi Chunliu smiled and greeted, "Hello, Comrade Lu, I am Weiguo's sister Bi Chunliu." The last time she and Xing Fei went to meet the Wang family, they did not see Wang Ying's sister-in-law. This was the first time they met.

"Hello, come in!" Lu Shan invited Bi Chunliu to sit down, poured her some water, and then said, "Wang Jian was here, but someone from the factory just came and said a machine had broken down, so he left. He even asked me to apologize for the inconvenience. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. Things at the factory are more important." Bi Chunliu took a sip of water, exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Shan, and then got straight to the point. "Comrade Lu, Weiguo and Xiaoying have been together for a while. We all like Xiaoying very much and are looking forward to Xiaoying and Weiguo getting married! I came here to set a date with you. If you have a date you like, please choose from your favorites. Also, I haven't gone to Master Cai's house to tell him, but I think Master Cai is Weiguo's master and Xiaoying's cousin. Do you think it's okay to let Master Cai be the witness for the wedding?"

Lu Shan has no objection at all to the fact that her sister-in-law gets along well with her boyfriend. To be honest, she is usually busy with work, and Xiaoying helps her mother-in-law raise her two children. She is really happy that her sister-in-law has found a good home!

"Okay! Comrade Bi, I'm older than you, so I'll call you sister. Sister, my Xiaoying has really helped me a lot. My parents-in-law and her brother and I all have the same idea. We don't want anything else. As long as Weiguo treats Xiaoying well in the future and they live a happy life, we will be relieved."

Bi Chunliu expressed her understanding, saying she would have the same idea if she were to marry her sister, and she also said, "Sister Lu, don't worry. My family isn't the type to be particularly talkative. We'll get to know each other slowly, and you'll get to know us over time."

Lu Shan: "Okay. Sister, I believe Xiaoying must be right! So, my family has looked at three dates in total, shall we choose one?"

"good!"

The Wang family chose September 11, October 1, and November 12. Lu Shan told Bi Chunliu about the conflicting zodiac signs on these days, and she was relieved that these three days did not conflict with the zodiac signs of the family members.

Since both are possible, the sooner the better. Bi Chunliu didn't care that the date in September was neither a holiday nor a weekend, so he decided on September 11th.

As soon as he returned from Wang's house, Bi Chunliu told his family the set date.

Bi Qiuguo stroked his chin and said, "It's almost August now. Since the Wang family chose this date, does it mean they are confident of finding a house near the machinery factory? Otherwise, where will my second brother and his wife live then?"

"I think so too, big sister. What did second brother say? We don't have much time to prepare things. Also, we have to tell grandma in advance. She will definitely come." Bi Xiahe took out a notebook she carried with her and began to write down the things that needed to be prepared.

Bi Chunliu also felt that the Wang family had some idea about the house. Although they were technically talented, they also had a strong network of connections.

"Let the Wang family find a house, and have your second brother pay for it. If it's not enough, I'll lend him more. You have to start buying the rest of his wedding things now. I'll also exchange some cotton coupons and send them to the Wang family when the time comes so they can make bedding."

"What kind of bedding do you want?" Bi Weiguo went home. He left work early today just to hear his elder sister talk about when his wedding would be.

"My eldest sister said she was going to exchange cotton coupons to send to the Wang family to make bedding for your wedding." Bi Qiuguo asked, "How come someone who usually goes to the machinery factory after work is going home so early today?"

Bi Weiguo glanced at her and asked, "Sister, when did you and Xiaoying's brother and sister-in-law decide to meet?"

"September 11th. Weiguo, ask Xiaoying tomorrow if her brother and sister-in-law have any idea about the house and how much it costs. If it's not enough, remember to tell me."

"Okay!" Bi Weiguo smiled happily.

Bi Xiahe looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, we are all happy that you are getting married. As your younger sister, I will not give you any gifts. Can I just pack the candies and peanuts for your banquet?"

"Hehehe...Thanks, Third Sister! You saved me a lot of trouble!"

"Then I'll pay for two meals for my second brother. I've only been working for three months, and I can't afford any more."

"Thank you to my fourth sister too!" Bi Weiguo clasped his fists to thank his two sisters.

Bi Chunliu then said, "Then as the eldest sister, I will give some to my younger brother and make two sets of clothes for you and Xiaoying."

Bi Weiguo: "Wow~ Thank you, big sister!!"

"No thanks, no thanks," Bi Chunliu waved her hand. She thought of something else, "Weiguo, you ask. Forget it. I'll ask when the time comes. I'll see how many tables are needed. The Wang family just moved in not long ago, so they don't have many relatives. I guess they're just colleagues."

"Sister, Xiaoying said before that her brother estimated that there would be only two tables if there were more people sitting together. We don't have many relatives, so including ours, there would be at most five tables."

"Okay, let's prepare for six tables first. Contact the banquet staff and the meat and other things, and go get them in advance. Have them prepare everything. It's hot now, don't eat and get diarrhea." Bi Chunliu handed the banquet matters over to Bi Weiguo. He was familiar with all these things, and if he couldn't handle the banquet well, then all his years of work would be in vain.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about the banquet." Bi Weiguo went back to the house and took out his change. "Sister, this is more than 60 yuan. If there is anything else you need to buy, don't spend your money. I have already set aside money for the house."

"Okay!" Bi Chunliu was not polite. She took it first and would give it to him when the time came if she couldn't use it.

…

September soon arrived, and Bi Weiguo's wedding day was getting closer and closer.

On September 10th, Teacher's Day, Bi Xiahe packed the two apples distributed by the school into her backpack and walked out with the teacher in the same office.

"Teacher Bi, are you off work?" Director Su, the logistics director of Shixiao School, came up to greet him enthusiastically.

The teacher in the office who was arm in arm with Bi Xiahe turned her head and winked at her, her meaning obvious. See, I told you she hasn't given up, right?

Director Su: "Teacher Xiao, I need to talk to Teacher Bi. Why don't you go first?"

"Director Su, you are not secretly giving apples to our teacher Bi, are you? Didn't the principal say that each person can only have two? If you want to give more to Teacher Bi, then I want some too! My little nephew is not in good health and loves to eat apples. I wonder how happy he will be if he sees the apples I brought home." Teacher Xiao did not let go of Bi Xiahe's hand, but asked directly.

Director Su: "..." He took one out of his bag and handed it to Teacher Xiao reluctantly, "I only gave two. This one is for the child."

Teacher Xiao was right. He really had four apples in his bag that he wanted to give to Teacher Bi. Giving Teacher Bi apples was valuable because it could help her get together with his nephew. Teacher Xiao would feel bad if he gave her one more apple!

"Teacher Xiao, please don't say that again. We don't have any extra apples. I just came to ask if she took all the lesson plan books from your office this afternoon. We still have half a stack left."

Taking the free apple, Teacher Xiao let out a long "oh" and nodded regretfully, "Is that so? I thought..."

Bi Xiahe: "Director Su, I've already taken all the ones. The extra ones probably don't belong to our group. You can ask other teachers."

"Hey, hey, okay, Teacher Bi, see you later, Teacher Xiao." After Director Su said this, he covered his bag and ran away quickly.

"Hahahaha..." Teacher Xiao laughed non-stop.

Bi Xiahe also laughed, then sighed inwardly. Why didn't Director Su give up? Such trouble...

"Xia He, I think you should find a partner." Teacher Xiao wiped the skin of the white apple, snapped it in half, gave one half to Bi Xia He, and ate the other half himself. "This old Su is very difficult to deal with!"

Bi Xiahe nodded. "It's not like you can find it just by looking for it. Let's go quickly. Your partner should be waiting for you."

"good."

The two walked out of the school gate and parted ways with Teacher Xiao. Bi Xiahe needed to go home in another direction, but suddenly, she stopped and looked ahead.

"Why are you here??"
