Chapter 84 Father and Mother Xia are here
Zhang Shiye returned home and lay on the kang, suffering from a rare insomnia.
The little girl said she liked him because he was good-looking, so what if he got fat or thin and changed his appearance? What if he met someone better-looking than him? As she thought about it, she imagined that one day a very good-looking man came to the team and immediately attracted her attention. The little girl changed her mind and said she would abandon him and be with that man no matter what. No matter how much he begged her not to abandon him, it was useless...
Grass!
"I'm going to kill him!"
Zhang Shiye gritted his teeth and sulked all night, and started exercising in the yard early the next morning with dark circles under his eyes.
First he did a hundred jumping jacks, then a hundred push-ups, and finally he held onto the door frame and did the pull-ups his second brother had taught him.
When Aunt Qiao came out, she was startled by him, "Old Four, what are you doing so crazy so early in the morning?"
Zhang Shiye finished the last one and jumped down. "It's okay, Mom, I'm going to exercise for a while. Oh, by the way, do you have any vanishing cream? I've been a little tanned recently, lend it to me to wipe it off!"
Aunt Qiao looked as if she had seen a ghost, "Old Four, you don't have a fever, do you?"
Zhang Shiye dodged Qiao Shuyun's hand that was about to touch his forehead, "I'm fine, why do I have a fever? I just feel that I'm too dark to look good when I get married."
"Nothing cream can't make you white, why would you put it on as a grown man?"
Zhang Shiye touched his nose and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to wipe it, then don't wipe it."
His mother is really stingy, I'll borrow the little girl's wipe when I deliver the meal later~
In the next few days, Zhang Shiye got up early every morning to exercise, and while delivering meals, he went to Xia Wanyang's cabinet to secretly wipe some bottles and jars.
At first Xia Wanyang didn't know what he was doing, because his back was facing away from her. She thought he was looking at what she was applying and he was going to give it to her!
But you don’t have to watch it every day, right?
Finally unable to resist curiosity, when Zhang Shiye reached out to the bottle that was almost half full, Xia Wanyang walked over and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with my vanishing cream?"
Zhang Shiye was a little embarrassed and evaded the question, "Oh, my face has been a little dry lately, I'll rub it in to loosen it up."
Xia Wanyang said, "Oh!" and handed him another bottle. "Touch this one. That one is for my feet!"
Zhang Shiye paused: "Foot wiping?"
"Ah, what happened to wiping your feet?"
Zhang Shiye looked down at Xia Wanyang's feet. The pair of small tender feet in slippers were glowing white, and the toenails were pink, which was extremely cute.
Well, some people wipe his feet, some people wipe his feet, his wife’s feet are all fragrant.
"No need, I'll just apply this!"
Xia Wanyang said with disdain, "Whatever you say."
Time quickly came to July 15th, and there were only two days left until their wedding. During this period, the furniture she ordered was made one after another and moved into the new house. The things she needed to buy were also prepared. In addition to the bicycle and watch, the sewing machine and radio were already placed in the house.
Aunt Qiao comes to clean the house almost every day, and even wipes the stove until it shines.
At noon, Xia's father and mother, as well as Xia Shuqian, Xia Shuhan and Liu Yue, arrived at the Dongfanghong Brigade in the car sent by Director Fan. The children playing in the village followed them curiously.
It’s the Public Security Bureau’s car, and it’s heading to the youth cadre’s place. Could something have happened at the youth cadre’s place?
Many villagers who had just finished work also hurried in the direction of the car. The fire of gossip was burning in everyone's heart, and they didn't even bother to go home for dinner.
"Xia Wanyang!"
Xia Wanyang, who was lying on the kang and feeling drowsy after dinner, was startled by Liu Yue's loud voice.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Wanyang quickly put on her shoes and ran out, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Second Sister-in-law!"
Mother Xia walked over and took Xia Wanyang's hand, "Your father was delayed by something in the army, otherwise he would have arrived a few days ago!"
When everyone saw that it was Xia Zhiqing's family members who came, they became even more curious. They all said that Xia Zhiqing's father was a high-ranking officer in the army, and they had never even seen a town mayor in their lives, let alone a high-ranking official in Shanghai.
The Xia brothers were carrying things down from the car. Everyone saw that they were carrying down a large box. They wished they could have X-ray eyes to see what it was!
We moved more and more things, filling up two cars.
Xia Wanyang looked at her two brothers and second sister-in-law in surprise as they carried things into her room one by one, and asked, "Mom, did you move the house here?"
Father Xia came over and tapped Xia Wanyang's forehead. "You wish. This is just the dowry that your mother, your two brothers and I prepared for you."
Everyone: “…”
No, who would prepare so much dowry? How can a daughter get married in the future?
Mother Xia smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and the journey is too far. She didn't come because it was inconvenient for her to take such a long car ride. I mailed these things over bit by bit, and your uncle Fan helped to pick them up and deposited them with him. We packed up the things and came over after we arrived."
Ten minutes later, all the things were moved into the house. Zhang Heping, Qiao Shuyun and Zhang Shiye also heard the news and rushed to the educated youth point.
"Uncle and aunt, these are my parents."
Zhang Heping was indeed the team leader. He immediately extended his hand and said in a familiar manner, "My dear relatives, I have been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time! I am Zhang Heping, the father of Zhang Shiye. Welcome to our team."
Xia Qingshan shook Zhang Heping's hand and said, "My name is Xia Qingshan. Hello, my dear. I was delayed for two days by some official business. Otherwise, I could have arrived three days earlier!"
Aunt Qiao also came to Xia's mother Gu Ning enthusiastically, and extended her hand like Zhang Heping, "Hello, mother-in-law, I am Shi Ye's mother, my name is Qiao Shuyun, you must be tired on the way, the family has prepared food, let's go back now!"
Gu Ning also held Aunt Qiao's hand, "My name is Gu Ning, sorry to bother you, mother-in-law!"
Liu Yue gave each of the educated youth and villagers who were watching the fun a candy, and said, "Thank you all for taking care of Wan Yang."
Li Xiang came over and said, "Sister Yue, did my mother bring anything for me?"
Liu Yue looked at Li Xiang's tanned face and didn't recognize him for a moment. But when she heard the familiar voice, she burst out laughing, "Li Xiang, how come you are so tanned? I've brought it with me. I'll give it to you after I've packed it up!"
The four elders walked in the front, and a few peers followed behind, chatting and making noises. When they arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang's two brothers and second sister-in-law had already set up tables and chairs in the yard, and there were melon seeds, candies and some snacks on them.
Many villagers gathered at the door to watch the fun, and some even held their bowls and watched while eating. Zhang Heping didn't want to chase them away directly, so he simply moved a few chairs for everyone to sit on, to avoid the noise and embarrassment to his in-laws.
Yuan Hong poured water for everyone and started talking about marriage.
Zhang Heping smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "My dear relatives, have some water. His mother and I have prepared a betrothal gift of 666 yuan. Shi Ye bought the three turns and one ring himself, and he also built a new house for them. Let's go and have a look after we finish our meal."
Aunt Qiao continued, "Yes, mother-in-law, I'll go and see her later. If you have any other requests, his father and I will try our best to meet them. I really like Wan Yang. Don't worry, I will treat her like my own daughter and will never let her suffer any grievances!"
Gu Ning smiled, "I only have this one daughter. I have loved her since she was little. She is a little spoiled by me. She is not very good at doing housework. I hope you can be more tolerant. The amount of the betrothal gift is not important. I just hope Yangyang can live a good life."
Father Xia took out the passbook he had prepared and handed it to Xia Wanyang. "This is the dowry your mother and I gave you. In addition to this, Dad also bought you a TV. If you need anything in your life in the future, just call Dad!"
