A few days ago, people would have been watching TV by this time, but today the house is very quiet.

"Dad, didn't you say that lots of people come to our house to watch TV? Why isn't anyone coming? Is it because of the Lunar New Year?" Sheng Xi'an asked, puzzled.

"Maybe so, or maybe he was scared by Hua Hua last night."

Sheng Liancheng also found it strange. Yesterday there was a room full of people, but today he couldn't see a single one.

"Forget it, it's better if no one comes. It'll be quiet, and it'll save the room from being full of people and disturbing the children's rest."

Honestly, no one wants so many people in one household; it's so crowded that there's barely any room to stand.

How can it compare to watching TV peacefully and happily with your own family?

With no outsiders present, Zhang Shuzhen rummaged through the cupboard for some melon seeds, roasted them over the fire in the pot, and then brewed a pot of tea.

The family sat on the warm kang (a heated brick bed), cracking melon seeds and drinking tea, watching TV in a relaxed and comfortable manner. It couldn't be more pleasant.

"Looks like Hua Hua did do something good after all," Sheng Liancheng muttered as he watched TV.

Everyone in the room heard this and burst into laughter.

Hua Hua was originally lying in the west room, but whether it heard someone talking to it or heard the laughter from the people in the east room, it wobbled over from the west room.

Hua Hua leaped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), lay down next to the two girls, and watched TV with everyone.

Once the Little New Year is over, the Lunar New Year is not far away.

With everyone back and plenty of hands available, Sheng Liancheng led his sons to tidy up the house inside and out, while Zhang Shuzhen led her daughter-in-law and daughter to steam buns and make all sorts of food.

The whole family pitched in; it was busy, but we were happy doing it.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chen family held a happy event: Chen Weimin got married.

As for Chen Weimin's wife, needless to say, it is Lin Junhua.

To be honest, their path to marriage was quite bumpy.

The two initially met through a cultural performance, and Lin Junhua fell in love with Chen Weimin, a talented young man, at first sight.

However, Chen Weimin felt that he had a physical disability and dared not accept Lin Junhua's feelings, fearing that he would delay her life, so he clearly rejected her.

Lin Junhua was devastated and fell ill as soon as he returned to his dormitory.

Chen Weimin learned of Lin Junhua's illness through his sister and, feeling anxious and worried, went to Lin Junhua's dormitory to see him again.

Lin Junhua ignored him in a huff, and Chen Weimin couldn't hold back any longer. He finally revealed that he also liked Lin Junhua, but he didn't want to hold her back.

The two confessed their feelings for each other, and their love deepened.

As a result, someone somehow told Lin Junhua's family that he was dating someone in Qianchuan who was disabled.

When Lin's parents heard this news, how could they be happy? So they came to the forest farm and insisted on taking Lin Junhua away, forbidding her from associating with Chen Weimin.

Lin Junhua's father used to be a worker in a machine repair shop and knew Zhou Mingyuan.

Lin Junhua's stepmother is a pharmacist at Songlin Hospital and is also very familiar with Wang Chunxiu.

Having no other option, the Chen family went through Zhang Shuzhen to ask Zhou Mingyuan and his wife for help, hoping they could put in a good word for them. If that didn't work, the Chen family would give up.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife knew about the relationship between the Chen and Sheng families, and since they couldn't refuse to help, they looked for an opportunity to mediate.

But the Lin family insisted that their beautiful young lady could not possibly marry a disabled man.

They also stated that they would try to transfer Lin Junhua's job from Qianchuan back to the bureau, so that the two could completely break off their relationship.

While the Lin family was actively trying to get their daughter transferred back, Lin Junhua secretly ran away from home and returned to the forest farm.

Lin Junhua's single household registration was at the Qianchuan Forestry Farm Police Station, so he gritted his teeth and got a marriage certificate with Chen Weimin, becoming a legal couple.

Seeing this, the Lin family knew there was no way to separate the two, and with everyone's persuasion, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
