Chapter 54



On the day of the banquet, the Pei family in the family compound was very lively.

When Jiang Xi was dressed up and wearing new clothes, she came to the cafeteria surrounded by a group of people. The excited shouts of the men in the cafeteria almost blew the roof off.

The soldiers sang military songs with the same energy as usual to liven up the atmosphere.

Pei Hejun stood in the crowd, wearing a neat military uniform and a big red flower on his chest. He walked up to her step by step, saluted her seriously, and said loudly: "Comrade Jiang Xi, thank you for marrying me!"

Jiang Xi originally thought that he was just coming to have a meal, but he didn't expect Pei Hejun to be so formal. He didn't put on any blush, and his cheeks were as red as monkey buttocks. He only remembered to smile at him.

Pei Hejun then swore to her: "I swear, from now on..."

He looked at Jiang Xi and spoke every word with extreme seriousness.

Jiang Xi gradually forgot about her embarrassment and looked at him seriously, listening to every word he said. Her heart was touched and her eyes turned slightly red.

Wait until he finishes, looking at himself expectantly.

Jiang Xi was silent for two seconds, then burst into tears and fell into his arms.

Pei Hejun's face flushed instantly, and he hurriedly supported her: "Wife, don't cry, there are so many people watching us."

"Hahaha!" There was a deafening burst of laughter all around.

Jiang Xi suddenly came back to her senses, wiped away her tears with a wooden face, and pushed his hand away.

It's so embarrassing.

What a shame in front of so many people!

The two younger sisters behind him were laughing so hard that they were falling down.

People who made jokes came one after another.

Fortunately, Pei Hejun knew that she was a reserved person. Seeing that her face was not right, he immediately pulled her behind him and greeted the people who were watching the excitement: "Everyone is here, let's eat first."

These days, eating is still the most important thing.

Soon everyone let the two go.

Jiang Xi carried Pei Hejun to a corner and pinched him unhappily: "What are you doing? Didn't you say we were going to host a banquet?"

Pei Hejun didn't hold back this time. His face twitched in pain. He explained aggrievedly, "I feel very sorry that I didn't participate in the last wedding, so Zhonghua and the others helped me think of this method. I know you don't like this, so I deliberately reduced it a lot."

Jiang Xi stopped talking. She actually liked it very much.

I had no feelings for Pei Hejun before, so it didn't matter to me whether he was at the wedding or not.

But now they have feelings for each other, so looking back on the past, it is actually somewhat regrettable. What happened today can be considered as a compensation for it. After all, getting married is so simple in this era.

When you are older, you can still hold a more lively wedding banquet.

Jiang Xi pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, I'm actually quite happy."

Pei Hejun's eyes softened: "I'm very happy too."

After the two of them finished talking, they looked at each other, and then they heard Shi Zhonghua's voice shouting, "Hey, young couple, I know it's your wedding banquet, but there's no need to be so presumptuous, right?"

Jiang Xi quickly came to his senses and pushed Pei Hejun over.

Pei Hejun pulled her back and said, "Let's go and toast."

Jiang Xi followed behind him, feeling quite worried. She couldn't drink, so luckily he handed her the wine glass. After a quick sniff, she could smell only a faint smell of alcohol, and the rest was just plain water.

She was led to toast at each table.

After all the toasts were over, everyone started eating to their heart's content.

Jiang Xi was also sitting at a table in the corner. Jiang Yu handed her the food and said with a worried look on his face, "Big sister, eat more."

Jiang Mi also brought a bowl of food: "I grabbed this on purpose. No one grabbed more than I did."

Jiang Xi was embarrassed and thanked her two sisters for their kindness. In this era, banquets depend on snatching. Fortunately, she has two sisters. She said with emotion: "I will give you an extra fifty cents for pocket money next week."

"Wow!"

"Thank you, big sister!"

The banquet was lively for only a short while at noon.

Jiang Xi and Pei Hejun saw the guests off.

The guests left one by one. When it was Qin Yue's turn, Jiang Xi heard two boys behind her anxiously saying, "Mom, I'm not full. Can you give me some noodles?"

Qin Yue said unhappily: "Didn't I just tell you to pick up the food quickly and not talk to your friend?"

"I was wrong, okay? Do you really want me to be hungry? I'm going to tell my dad."

Qin Yue's momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and she said sullenly, "I know."

After saying that, the boy immediately jumped up and down and walked away with his brother.

Qin Yue was tired of watching and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and met the eyes of Jiang Xi who was watching them not far away. Her face turned red and she quickened her pace.

Jiang Xi thought she was embarrassed, so he stopped looking at her and started talking to someone else with a smile.

After the last guest left, Jiang Xi and Pei Hejun were about to leave.

But halfway through the journey, I suddenly heard a familiar voice calling me.

When she turned around, she saw Qin Yue standing on the side of the road.

"You go back first, I have something to do." Jiang Xi said to Pei Hejun.

Pei Hejun also took a look and saw that it was a woman. He nodded and went back first.

Jiang Xi walked over and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Qin Yue blushed slightly: "Well, I want to ask, do you know how to find a job? Or can you help me?"

"I want to find a job."

After saying this, she tensed up and looked at Jiang Xi nervously.

Qin Yue didn't think of asking Jiang Xi for help at first, but when she thought about the people around her, she found that half of the people she knew were familiar with Lu Jianguo's ex-wife, and the other half were housewives who couldn't find jobs.

She had the highest education among them, and because of this, although those who were close to Lu Jianguo's ex-wife seemed to get along well with her, they all doubted her original intention of marrying into the family, and hoped that she could take care of her three stepchildren wholeheartedly.

Impossible to help.

After much thought, Jiang Xi is the only one who can do it.

Perhaps it was the memory of her past life. Although Jiang Xi was not married to Lu Jianguo now, nor was she the future boss' biological mother, she always felt that this man was more powerful.

Maybe you can help yourself.

Jiang Xi had no ill will towards Qin Yue, nor did she have much good feelings towards her. She mostly felt sympathy and confusion. She was quite surprised to hear this, but she still shook her head: "I don't have any channels. After all, I just got here. You have a high school diploma, so maybe you can go to the school to have a look. If that doesn't work, there's nothing I can do, unless... the college entrance examination is resumed and you can take the college entrance examination?"

Qin Yue was about to feel disappointed, but suddenly she heard the last sentence and her eyes lit up: "Study for university? Can I?"

After she asked, she felt uneasy again. She only had a high school education, but her knowledge had been lost decades ago and she had given it back to her teacher.

She then asked: "If the college entrance examination could be resumed, would you go to college?"

Jiang Xi shook his head: "No, I prefer to make money, so being a student is fine."

Just kidding, it has been many years since her real high school life, how could she still remember it?

Qin Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, I understand."

Jiang Xi also smiled: "I hope you can find a job."

She turned and walked away.

Qin Yue stood there for a long while, then walked up to the town. As for cooking noodles for her stepson? Forget it, she should take care of her own business first. She didn't marry to be a nanny, so she didn't have any private space. She had already entrusted the third child to Mrs. Zhang next door.

She had to look for any texts for junior high and high school.

Although Jiang Xi didn't say it directly, she also pointed out the way for herself. If she wanted to recommend herself at school, she had to have enough knowledge. The same was true for taking the college entrance examination. She had to get her knowledge back.

Jiang Xi took two trot steps, and Pei Hejun noticed it and waited there.

The two merged.

Pei Hejun asked curiously, "Do you know her?"

"What a coincidence, she was my high school classmate, but we weren't close." Jiang Xi shook her head: "I had forgotten about her until later."

Pei Hejun agreed: "That's quite unfamiliar."

"Puchi." Jiang Xi smiled and took his hand.

Pei Hejun froze, almost shaking his hands and feet. The heat caused him pain again. He glanced around nervously and said seriously, "This is not good. It will have a bad impact."

Fortunately, no one was around.

They left late, the banquet was at noon, and today happened to be a day off, so many people went straight back to sleep after the banquet.

Seeing how serious he was, Jiang Xi didn't push him away. She hugged his arm and laughed, "Hahaha, what are you afraid of? Will you be punished?"

Pei Hejun nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Xi's smile disappeared and he quickly withdrew his hand.

The man pursed his lips in disappointment and said nothing.

Only the gloomy brows revealed the loss in his heart.

Before today, Jiang Xi had never taken the initiative to do such intimate things. He was a tall girl, so he was reluctant to refuse. He didn't expect her to accept it so quickly.

Jiang Xi even scolded: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you would be punished?"

Pei Hejun shook his head: "It's okay, not serious."

At most, he was fined to run a dozen laps.

Jiang Xi did not move. She had always thought that if two people looked at each other and fell in love, she would not take the initiative to get intimate unless the other party took the initiative. But after the banquet just now, he swore in front of so many people in the name of a soldier that he would be her husband and protect her.

Jiang Xi then realized that the two were indeed husband and wife.

They are a married couple.

Actually, I got the marriage certificate before coming here.

It was just that the marriage certificate looked like an award, and Jiang Xi didn’t feel like it was a real marriage. Only this wedding banquet made her feel that she and the man in front of her were husband and wife.

A relationship closer than boyfriend and girlfriend.

That's why she is so comfortable with it.

However, this era is different, and Pei Hejun's identity is also different. Jiang Xi feels that he still needs to be careful.

It's just a bit of a pity.

Suddenly her palm felt warm, and Jiang Xi looked down to see Pei Hejun holding her hand tightly.

Noticing her gaze, Pei Hejun said seriously, "There's no one here, and we're just holding hands, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Should?" Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Pei Hejun: “I haven’t tried it either.”

Jiang Xi shook his head and smiled.

Nightfall

One by one they lined up to take a shower.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi came first, followed by Jiang Xi, and finally Pei Hejun. Jiang Xi took a shower and lay down on the bed. The temperature was over ten degrees, very comfortable. She lay on the bed, but had no desire to sleep.

There was just a lot of tension.

Is this your wedding night?

I need to talk about the system.

Because Pei Hejun was well, she was afraid that she would be exposed if she talked to the system in the middle of the night. Several times the system wanted to chat with her, but she ignored it, which made the system cry.

Pei Hejun was also very nervous, and he took a shower twice as fast as usual.

After taking a shower, my body was still steamy and felt chilly, but as soon as I entered the room, my whole body felt hot.

Suddenly, Jiang Xi sat up: "Come and sit down."

Pei Hejun felt a little strange, but he still sat down obediently and waited for her to speak.

Jiang Xi took a deep breath. This matter had been decided long ago. She held Pei Hejun's hand, and when their cold hands touched each other, the interface of the merit system popped up impatiently.

Her points have increased from more than 2,400 to nearly 3,000 now. These are all her achievements in recent times. It is enough to buy the silver needles that Jiang Xi wants, or one of the famous doctor's masks.

But she didn't dare buy it.

Until now, when she was finally going to show her cards to her master, Jiang Xi felt quite relaxed despite being nervous. She said, "Pei Hejun, there is something I have been wanting to tell you."

Pei Hejun looked nervous: "You tell me."

Jiang Xi said: "You have a merit system, do you know?"

Pei Hejun: “?”

Jiang Xi told him the whole story in a rush. After she finished, she looked at the person in front of her. Pei Hejun had his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe it.

Then Jiang Xi spoke right in front of him: "System, what exactly are your merit points? Is it dangerous to use them?"

The system quickly explained: [Merit points are a reward for doing good deeds. We are not gods, so how can we really give out merits! It is just a saying that if you do good deeds and accumulate points, you can redeem things. These are all technologies. When you buy something, the main brain will use a wormhole to send it to you. We are technology! ]

Jiang Xi read out the system's words and asked, "Then can you tell others about your existence?"

System: [No, we have a rule that we cannot be exposed. Otherwise, if the main brain finds out, it will activate the self-destruct system, and then we will all die together.]

Pei Hejun listened to Jiang Xi's retelling and was silent for a long time. Then he asked, "Is there a book on how to make mushroom eggs?"

System: [No! It cannot have a huge impact. This system is not a powerful country system!]

Jiang Xi finished reading and laughed. Pei Hejun sighed and said, "It seems that it is useless. I have no fate with it. You can use it however you want."

Jiang Xi nodded in surprise: "Okay, then I'll buy it. System, help me buy the flat magpie hand mask!"

System: [OK, the sincere offer will cost 2600 points]

The next moment, Jiang Xi had a thick book in his hand.

When you open it, you'll see words as densely packed as a dictionary, filled with symptoms and picture analysis.

Jiang Xi was immediately overjoyed and wanted to study it, but it was taken away. Pei Hejun looked serious: "So you secretly pulled my hand in the middle of the night to see the system?"

Jiang Xi froze, shocked: "You knew?"

Pei Hejun nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "It's really for the system!"

Jiang Xi laughed dryly and quickly threw herself into his arms: "No, it's because of you, I just want to secretly hold your hand."

Pei Hejun frowned, trying to look serious, but he still smiled. Even though he knew it was fake, he was still happy. He supported the person in his arms, turned over and pressed her down, biting her lips and whispered, "I believe it."

I believe whatever you say. [End of article]
