Soon, the two arrived at the movie theater, parked their car, bought two tickets, and waited for ten minutes before finally being allowed to enter.
“Zhengguo, this is not the right seat. We should be in row 12, seat 8 or 10. We can’t sit in the wrong seat, otherwise we’ll have to give up our seats when other people come.”
"It's alright! Look, this place is all empty. They probably didn't sell tickets here. Let's sit here and have some peace and quiet."
Ning Xiaowei didn't take it seriously; after all, it didn't matter where she sat.
The two sat down and waited for another ten minutes until all the lights went out before the movie officially started.
Not long after the movie started, Ning Xiaowei was deeply attracted.
She never expected that a movie could express emotions through singing folk songs, which was completely different from the movies she had seen before.
At this moment, her gaze was entirely focused on the silver screen.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhengguo, seeing his opportunity, acted decisively without hesitation, seized the high ground, and roamed freely back and forth.
Ning Xiaowei, who was watching a movie, suddenly realized that her high ground had been lost. In desperation, she tried to drive away the enemy.
Unfortunately, the enemy's strength was far inferior to theirs, so Ning Xiaowei could only plead desperately.
"Jung-guk, please don't do this! There are so many people here, I'm scared...!"
"It's okay, just keep watching your movie. Just pretend I don't exist. It's dark here, who would notice us?"
When you don't exist?
Ning Xiaowei was so angry at such shameless words that she laughed. "I also want to pretend you don't exist? But your two hands? They're really hard to describe."
"Hey! Be gentle..."
"Hey! What are you trying to do now? No way..."
"Hey hey hey...!"
Ning Xiaowei never expected that Sun Zhengguo would be so audacious. Not content with occupying the high ground, he even wanted to occupy the low ground. This was Ning Xiaowei's bottom line, and she declared that she would not give up an inch of land.
Sun Zhengguo didn't insist on it; it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so he just waited.
A movie turned into a tug-of-war between the two of them, and Ning Xiaowei was only freed when the movie ended.
As they left the movie theater, Ning Xiaowei, her face still flushed, said angrily.
"Sun Zhengguo, you invited me to the movies, wasn't that premeditated?"
"Premeditated? What premeditated? Didn't you promise me?"
These words completely enraged Lin Xiaowei. Like an angry lioness, she scratched at Sun Zhengguo as she spoke.
"I agreed to that? I must be out of my mind to agree to such an unreasonable request."
"Wait! It was you who promised me, or let me help you remember."
Sun Zhengguo said as he dodged.
"Fine! Let's see how you try to argue. If you can't, I'll go to Auntie and complain that you... that you bullied me."
Ning Xiaowei wanted to say "You touched my chest," but she was too embarrassed to say it.
"Have you forgotten? What did you promise me at noon that you'd let me teach my older brother boxing? Didn't you say I could make a few unreasonable requests?"
Ning Xiaowei was speechless. Wasn't that so that you and your older brother could get along harmoniously?
"No, I was just saying it offhand, it doesn't count, you have to compensate me."
"Okay! Come on, I'll take the loss and let you touch me back."
"You scoundrel!"
Ning Xiaowei pounced on her and unleashed another flurry of punches.
Finally, as if by magic, Sun Zhengguo pulled out a bottle of perfume. Ning Xiaowei, who had never used perfume before, was immediately captivated and reluctantly forgave him.
After dealing with Ning Xiaowei, the two got on their bikes and headed towards the courtyard house.
Back at the courtyard house, the neighbors were already used to seeing Ning Xiaowei and no longer asked her any questions. They simply greeted her and the two went home.
Since it was the weekend, everyone was there. Ning Xiaowei quickly greeted her future in-laws when she saw them.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you again today."
"What are you saying, child? You can come anytime if you don't mind.
Lin Wencui said happily.
"Mom and Dad, I have good news for you. Xiaowei's family has agreed and they want you to come and propose marriage anytime."
"yeah……!"
The two siblings cheered, and the couple, realizing what had happened, also said happily.
"Great! We definitely have to celebrate tonight!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we must celebrate."
The son's words made the whole family extremely happy.
Lin Wencui was worried that something might go wrong in the morning, but she didn't expect the good news to come so timely.
Lin Wencui quickly took out a calendar and flipped through it, preparing to choose an auspicious day to propose marriage.
"Dajiang, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, why don't we set it for the day after tomorrow?"
"Isn't this too rushed?"
Sun Dajiang had no other intentions; he couldn't just rush over to their door as soon as they mentioned marriage proposals, lest they become a laughingstock.
"There's no other way? If we miss the day after tomorrow, we'll have to wait until next week. Wouldn't that make us seem insincere?"
Lin Wencui also raised her concerns.
Seeing that everyone's points made sense, Sun Zhengguo finally made the decision: the day after tomorrow. He had no patience to wait any longer. It was frustrating to be able to look at the meat that was being offered to him but not eat it.
Finally, everyone discussed it again and decided that when they went to propose marriage, they would need a matchmaker.
This problem is easy to solve; Zheng Juan is the only one who can do it. We'll have Ning Xiaowei go and invite her when she goes to work tomorrow.
As for the gifts needed for the visit, Sun Zhengguo said that everything would be taken care of. Although his mother-in-law had repeatedly forbidden him from bringing gifts, this was a marriage proposal, and the proper etiquette could not be omitted.
After everyone finished discussing, they started preparing dinner. Sun Zhengguo certainly couldn't forget the promised celebration.
So, I went out for another stroll, and when I came back, I had another small bag in my hand.
To maintain harmony within the compound, Sun Zhengguo went to great lengths, preparing cooked beef, roast chicken, pork head meat, and other dishes, all prepared in his spare time and ready to eat after being sliced and plated.
Having spent a long time with Sun Zhengguo, Ning Xiaowei knew he could get his hands on things that others couldn't. Now she'd learned to ignore it and just follow along.
During the meal, Sun Dajiang took out another bottle of yellow-bottled Lai Mao liquor, which was Ning Dazhuang's treasured possession, and now it was his.
"I'm happy today, let's all have a drink together."
No one objected to Sun Dajiang's suggestion. It was just a glass of wine; don't think women can't drink. They just don't want to drink.
After the bottle was opened, all the glasses on the table were filled, and a strong aroma of soy sauce immediately filled the air.
"Come on, cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Ning Xiaowei was also infected by this atmosphere, and without hesitation, she downed the drink in one gulp.
"Cough cough cough..."
Seeing that Ning Xiaowei was choking, Sun Zhengguo quickly stepped forward and gently patted her back.
"You idiot, you've probably never drunk alcohol before, right? It's your first time drinking, and you dare to down it in one gulp?"
After coughing for a while, Ning Xiaowei recovered but felt so wronged she couldn't go on.
"How should I know? This thing is so powerful."
"It's alright, it'll be fine next time. Have some beef to soothe the alcohol."
Lin Wencui thoughtfully placed a few pieces of beef on her daughter-in-law's plate.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Seeing that Ning Xiaowei was alright, everyone resumed their hearty meal.
What a lively scene!
