Chapter 139 Meeting of the In-Laws

Sheng Xiping thought the two people had dragged him out because they had something to say.

Upon hearing them inquire about Li Dabai, Sheng Xiping also laughed.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Sheng Xiping told me what he had overheard the two brothers, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang, saying on the hillside behind the Li family's house.

Then he told us how he used firecrackers to set off firecrackers on the Li family's kang (heated brick bed).

Especially after the firecrackers went off, the Li family's house was filled with smoke, and the Li family members ran out covered in black smoke, which made Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo laugh uncontrollably.

The two of them clutched their stomachs and it took them a long time to calm down.

"Okay, you're really something. I knew you were coming back so late because something must have been holding you up. Turns out you've pulled a big one."

Wang Jianshe laughed so hard he could hardly breathe, and his stomach hurt from laughing.

"That was a brilliant move, so satisfying."

Those two bastards from the Li family deserve a good beating. They should be taught a lesson so they know that stealing other people's things isn't so easy.

Sheng Xiping smiled. This move was actually harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, so it wasn't anything special.

But it's satisfying! This is the best way to deal with those scoundrels from the Li family.

You can't reason with them; it's useless and will only make you angry.

Anyway, that pig wasn't planning on getting it back; he was just happy to vent his anger.

"Weiguo, Xiping, don't tell Fusheng and Zhijun about this later."

They're both young and lack maturity; if they blurt something out, it'll cause trouble again.

Wang Jianshe, a man of many schemes, after laughing his fill, gave instructions to Chen Weiguo and Sheng Xiping.

This is something only the three of them should know; don't tell anyone else.

Regardless of what others speculate, they must not let this matter slip out.

After the three of them had laughed enough, they returned to the Gao family home.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng ran over and asked them where they had been.

These two lads had also heard about Li Dabai's family affairs, but they were too young and lacked experience.

They only vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but they never guessed that it was Sheng Xiping who was behind it.

Anyway, the two of them were quite happy. They felt that the Li family had stolen their pig and had finally gotten their comeuppance, which was quite satisfying.

Sheng Xiping, Wang Jianshe, and Chen Weiguo exchanged glances, suppressing their laughter, and none of them said anything more.

Just coax these two and get to work.

By evening, the Gao family had almost finished preparing everything, except for steaming a few batches of buns for guests the next day.

The chef prepared a variety of dishes using braised pork offal, pig's head, and pig's trotters to entertain the relatives and friends of the Gao and Tang families.

The two families gathered together to entertain guests, and Gao Haining's father specially went to the small repair shop to call Sheng Liancheng over and arranged for him to eat at the Tang family's place, where he would sit at the same table as Zhou Mingyuan.

And so, Sheng Liancheng and Zhou Mingyuan, the future in-laws, met at the Tang family home.

Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Liancheng hit it off immediately. Taking advantage of the food and drinks at the Tang family's house, the two got together to drink and chat, and the more they talked, the more they clicked.

At another table, Zhang Shuzhen and Wang Chunxiu were also seated together.

Actually, the two had met while working in the afternoon and even talked for a while. Now they were together again, laughing and chatting.

Despite being a doctor and intellectual at the hospital, Wang Chunxiu has absolutely no airs.

I got along quite well with Zhang Shuzhen, this housewife, and we had a very pleasant chat.

"Sister-in-law, how many days will you be staying at the forest farm this time? If you have some free time, would you like to come over for a visit?"

Zhang Shuzhen put two pieces of pig liver into Wang Chunxiu's bowl and casually asked her a question.

"Sister-in-law, originally, we planned to return to Songjianghe after Fengying got married."

There's a miniature train on the 21st; if we're late, it'll be a hassle to get back.

Wang Chunxiu thought for a moment and said with some difficulty.

Their original intention in coming here was to meet the Sheng family and, incidentally, discuss the marriage arrangements for the two children, so they could be at ease once the matter was settled.

However, the transportation is really inconvenient.

The little train runs every three days. If they don't go back on the 21st, they'll have to go back on the 24th, which would take too long, and they still have work to do.

"It's alright. Our Lao Sheng said that the small repair shop will arrange for someone to go down and pull the machine in the next few days."

"I'll have Lao Sheng ask around later, and then you and your spouse can go back together."

In those days, transportation in the forest area was inconvenient. Apart from the small train that ran every three days, the only other option was to hitch a ride on the internal combustion engine that the forest farm used to go down to do errands.

Those in the arena were aware of the situation, but they all turned a blind eye and no one said anything.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunxiu became excited, "Really? That's wonderful!"

"As long as we have a car to get back, we're willing to stay here for another day or two."

My daughter works in the forest farm and can only come home every few months. How could a mother not miss her?

Wang Chunxiu also wanted to spend more time with her daughter and visit the Sheng family while she was there.

Now that there was a car to go back, Wang Chunxiu was no longer worried. Even if she went back a day or two later, her superiors wouldn't say anything.

I must say, the cafeteria chef's skills are really good. The dishes made with offal, head meat, and vegetables, along with cabbage and potatoes, are all quite delicious.

All the relatives and friends enjoyed the meal. After finishing, they helped clean up before going home.

Although Sheng Xiping and the others were young, they were all quite tired after a busy day.

Back in the collective dormitory, lying in the warm quilt, I soon started snoring and slept soundly.

October 20th, the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, was the wedding day of Gao Haining and Tang Fengying.

Both families work at the same forest farm and live right next door; it's incredibly convenient.
