Chapter 14 Set a Date
After breakfast, the whole family felt much better.
Because it was Monday, Fang Jie and his friends had to go to school. Instead, Fang Qiang asked people from the same village to go to the city to tell them that he would take a day off.
At nearly ten o'clock, a child ran to Fang's house.
"Captain Shen is here, Captain Shen is here!"
Everyone in the village was watching. Captain Shen came the day before and brought a lot of things. Today, he didn't come by himself, but drove a car and brought more things.
The small truck stopped at the door of Fang's house. Shen Zheng jumped out of the car first, and then asked the two people in the car to help carry things into Fang's house.
"Why bring so many things?" Fang Xiaoluo was amazed.
Shen Zheng seemed to smile, and he felt a lot warmer. "Not much. My family will prepare more in the next few days. Since we have decided to get married, I will do my best to give you the best."
The door of Fang's house was crowded with people, all of whom came to watch the excitement.
Sewing machines, radios, and bicycles were all lifted down, and there were more things on the cars, which made people jealous. The crowd was talking about it, who could not be envious?
In the whole Honghe Village, whose daughter got married and was given so many things when proposing marriage.
"Fang Xiaoluo, Fang Xiaoluo, come out!"
This voice was really inappropriate. Fang Xiaoluo looked over. Who else was jumping high outside the crowd if not Zhou Yanwen?
Although no one knew Zhou Yanwen, he was well-dressed and had a fair face, so he looked like a city dweller.
In addition, he was looking for Fang Xiaoluo, so they all made way for him.
Zhou Yanwen rushed to Fang Xiaoluo and said, "I don't allow you to marry Shen Zheng!"
"You are really nosy." Fang Xiaoluo thought Zhou Yanwen's face was particularly disgusting, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
Zhou Yanwen had never been wronged like this before. Fang Xiaoluo didn't come to comfort him for so many days, and now she wanted to marry someone else and scolded him!
Last night, Xu Yaqiu told him that Shen Zheng and Fang Xiaoluo were getting married. Shen Zheng gave Fang Xiaoluo a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan and asked the Zhou family to give her an additional gift, saying that he didn't want to be worse off than Fang Xiaoluo.
Bullshit! He didn't even want to give 2,000 yuan!
Zhou Yanwen tried to pull Fang Xiaoluo's arm, but she took a step back to avoid him. Shen Zheng was still standing between them.
He tilted his head, "Xiaoluo, don't you love me the most? You don't like Shen Zheng, do you? As long as you don't marry Shen Zheng, I will break off my engagement with Xu Yaqiu."
"You like these things, don't you? I'll buy them for you too. I'll buy you whatever you want."
The villagers, who were originally just joining in the fun, now had an expression of watching the fun.
Fang Xiaoluo also saw Xu Yaqiu in the crowd.
Is she here chasing Zhou Yanwen?
Fang Xiaoluo stood beside Shen Zheng, like a pair of beautiful women. Xu Yaqiu, who was far away, saw this scene and felt it was particularly dazzling.
She suddenly felt a little flustered, as if something had flown away.
But then she thought, as long as Fang Xiaoluo entered the Shen family and saw the three children and that old hag, she would definitely regret it!
In her last life, on the first day she entered the house, she was bitten by the crazy second child, and that damn old hag scolded her in front of the children!
Fang Xiaoluo folded her arms and looked at Zhou Yanwen, "What do I want? I want someone who is 1.85 meters tall, do you have one?"
Zhou Yanwen was stunned. How could he be that tall? He was only 1.75 meters tall now.
"You don't, but Shen Zheng does."
Zhou Yanwen clenched his fists, "Being tall doesn't make a living!"
Fang Xiaoluo spread his hands, "But what can I do, Shen Zheng is taller than you, more handsome than you, and more capable than you. You don't make a penny, but you're still bragging here that you can buy me whatever I want."
"Zhou Yanwen, we have no relationship since you and Xu Yaqiu started dating secretly. You accepted his things, had sex with her, kissed her..." Fang Xiaoluo's every word pierced Zhou Yanwen's heart.
But everyone present understood that Xu Yaqiu and Zhou Yanwen had been secretly together for a long time.
Fang Xiaoluo was a poor guy.
Zhou Yanwen didn't think these were problems at all. "But you like me, you like me the most, how can you still care about these little things?"
Fang Xiaoluo didn't know whether to be angry or laugh after hearing this. What kind of scumbag quotes are these?
She nodded, "You are right, I do like you."
Fang Xiaoluo said this, and immediately there was a burst of laughter.
Zhou Yanwen was full of joy.
Shen Zheng's heart tightened.
Fang Xiaoluo just smiled, and that smile was brilliant, as gorgeous as the flowers blooming in July, "I like you to stay away from me!"
Ignoring Zhou Yanwen's face that suddenly darkened, Fang Xiaoluo raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Zheng, "Let's go register for marriage in a few days, okay?"
Shen Zheng nodded, "Okay, we'll go after the approval from the army comes down."
Fang Xiaoluo turned around and shouted, "Brother, there's a mentally ill person here, help me beat him out. Today is the day when Shen Zheng comes to our house to propose marriage, and I don't want a mad dog to mess it up."
Fang Qiang disliked Zhou Yanwen from the beginning. As soon as Fang Xiaoluo spoke, he rushed over with a shovel and beat Zhou Yanwen.
Zhou Yanwen screamed in fear and ran desperately until he disappeared.
Shen Zheng came to propose marriage and asked an introducer to come over.
On the marriage proposal gift list, there was a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan, grain coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, etc., which were used throughout the country, stuffed into an envelope.
A sewing machine, a radio, a bicycle, and a ladies' watch.
A pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver earrings.
There were also a lot of things that were not written on the gift list.
Two enamel basins with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, two red soap boxes, two red towels, two red kettles, two enamel tea trays, two teacups, and two spittoons. A piece of red cloth.
In addition, there was a bright red satin quilt cover and a festive bright green quilt cover. Two sets of cotton cloth, pillowcases, pillowcases, and mattress covers. There was also 26 kilograms of cotton.
Everything Shen Zheng could think of was prepared.
He started shopping after lunch yesterday, and he got up early today to buy what he hadn't finished.
For Shen Zheng's wedding, almost all the division commanders and political commissars in the division were mobilized, and the family compound was also preparing things.
At this time, at the Shen family, Shen Zheng's mother was busy making quilts and cotton-padded clothes with other people in the family compound.
The division commander and his team found a carpenter and were making beds, cabinets, tables and chairs for Shen Zheng's family.
Their division commander had spoken, it was not easy for Shen Zheng to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was even rarer for Shen Zheng to be so concerned about the woman he wanted to marry even if he emptied his family's savings, so there must be no ambiguity.
In addition to the things on the gift list, Shen Zheng brought two bottles of wine, two bags of candy, two bags of snacks, two cans of food, two chickens, two fish, 66 kilograms of rice, 66 kilograms of oil, and 66 kilograms of flour when he came to propose marriage.
Originally, there were four boxes of gifts, but the teacher slammed the table and said it was too little, so he prepared ten, saying it was perfect and had good meaning.
The villagers who were watching the excitement in the village saw all the gifts and were speechless.
It was a big deal, absolutely a big deal.
Yesterday, Xu Yaqiu showed off her two thousand yuan betrothal gift, but now it was nothing compared to it.
Three thousand yuan was delivered to Zhang Xinmei without a penny missing.
Xu Yaqiu looked at all this, and her heart was bleeding.
Shen Zheng spent a lot of money to give Fang Xiaoluo so many good things. How is she worse than Fang Xiaoluo?
Chapter 30 Holding the hundred-yuan bill in her hand, Zhang Xinmei sighed in her heart. She had never seen so much money in her life.
The introducer said cheerfully, "Our Xiaoluo and Captain Shen are really destined to be together. They are a match made in heaven."
She was also happy when the matter was done. It was as if she had accomplished a huge task.
Shen Zheng said, "Our division is helping to look at the wedding date. They said that in the next three months, these two dates are suitable for marriage. Uncle, aunt, take a look, which day do you think is good?" Zhang Xinyan
and Fang Shijun took the paper, and Fang Xiaoluo also went over to take a look.
One is the 25th, which is the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, and there are only ten days left. The other is the fourteenth of next month, which is the twenty-sixth day of the fourth lunar month.
No wonder Xu Yaqiu said that the sixth day of the fourth lunar month is a good day for marriage.
Fang Xiaoluo pointed to the sixth day of the fourth lunar month and said, "Let's choose this day."
