Qin Huairu was also among them. She glanced at the elated Qin Jingru with a complicated expression, said nothing, and simply ate her food in silence.
Wang Shouren also invited the people in the courtyard. Everyone followed the rules, and each family sent a person in charge to make up two tables.
Finally, the sound of a car approaching the door was heard.
Everyone looked towards the door.
Then we saw Director Yang walk in carrying a congratulatory gift.
"Hahaha, Shouren, congratulations! I'm not late, am I?" Director Yang laughed heartily even before he entered the room. He looked travel-worn, suggesting he had been working beforehand.
"Factory manager, just in time!"
In this courtyard, some are happy and some are sad.
In fact, only two families in the entire courtyard were at odds with Wang Shouren.
There's also the Second Uncle's family, and the Silly Zhu's family.
Sha Zhu stayed in the house today and didn't go anywhere.
To be honest, if we follow the normal procedure, we should definitely hire Sha Zhu as the chef today, otherwise it would be disrespectful to him.
But Wang Shouren really didn't give him any face and found a cook from outside to come over.
He couldn't say anything, because the cook Wang Shouren hired was no ordinary person either.
He's someone you can't afford to offend.
As for the second uncle, he was filled with remorse. He hated Wang Shouren for interfering in his family affairs a few months ago, but he never expected that Director Yang would come over. He had no choice but to shamelessly go over and ask for a meal.
He even brazenly handed over another gift, as if afraid Director Yang wouldn't see it.
You have to admit, Second Uncle is really stupid. Looking at you like that, everyone knows what you're thinking.
We're all neighbors; why didn't you come earlier, but you're here now?
However, he didn't say anything. On such a joyous occasion as his wedding, arguing with a fool was pointless.
After eating a little something to fill his stomach, Wang Shouren pulled Qin Jingru aside to toast everyone.
These days, no one really wants to get anyone drunk. Everyone just keeps to themselves and there are only two or three tables. They exchange pleasantries and congratulations, and that's it.
The meal lasted until the moon was high in the sky.
Wang Shouren, reeking of alcohol, pushed open the door and found Qin Jingru slumped over the table waiting for him.
He smiled, swayed over, and woke up the still-sleeping Qin Jingru. He picked her up in one swift motion. Qin Jingru gasped in surprise, and after realizing what was happening, her face turned bright red with embarrassment. Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the calendar on the table.
May 7, 1966
Suitable activities: getting married, traveling, moving, getting engaged, and moving into a new house.
From inside the room came a rustling sound.
This was the first woman to sing loudly in Wang Shouren's room.
————
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room. Wang Shouren subconsciously reached out and touched the person beside him; Qin Jingru was already up. He rubbed his cheek. This little girl, she really got up early.
When he came out of the inner room, she was lying on the floor, carefully looking at something.
Wang Shouren walked over.
The sudden "smack" startled her.
Upon seeing that it was Wang Shouren, he became visibly excited again: "Brother Shouren, your furniture is so beautiful!"
Wang Shouren smiled and pinched her cheek: "It's not my home, it's our home."
"Hehe..." She just chuckled foolishly.
The furniture in my home was provided by the renovation contractor.
To be fair, the decorator had good taste, according to him. The tables, chairs, desks, dressing tables, and other furniture in the house were all high-quality. If Wang Shouren had planned to commission someone to buy them himself, money aside, it would have taken him at least a year and a half to put together such a nice set of furniture.
Consignment shops in this era specialized in selling secondhand furniture.
The "old furniture" here doesn't refer to unwanted furniture, but rather furniture that is still in good working order and has an antique feel to it.
The room renovation didn't cost too much overall, but the whole set of furniture cost him 380 yuan.
It hurts a little, but not by much.
According to his understanding, if the renovation worker hadn't lied to him, his set of furniture could fetch at least a million dollars if sold in the 21st century.
He won't need it anymore; he can save it for later, just in case a spendthrift son really comes along in the family.
Originally, he didn't think it looked that nice when he was at home, but with an extra person in the room, the furniture looked different, nicer, and newer. Even Wang Shouren followed Qin Jingru, touching this and that.
The two of them, like idiots, admired the furniture at home, occasionally chuckling to themselves.
When Qin Huairu came in, she was startled by the two idiots. After realizing that they weren't crazy, she coughed lightly and said, "Ahem."
The two turned their heads at the same time. Qin Huairu was a little dazed. The synchronized movement made her heart ache slightly.
"Sister." Qin Jingru scratched her head a little embarrassedly, then remembered something and immediately said, "I am the empress, you can't set rules for me."
Qin Huairu: ...
Wang Shouren: ...
Sometimes I really want to open this little girl's head and see what's inside.
"What rules are you setting? There aren't any adults in your family. I came to see if there's anything I can help with."
"Um, sis, what should we do?" Qin Jingru didn't quite understand what she needed to do.
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment. She suddenly realized that Wang Shouren had always been alone. He studied alone, practiced martial arts alone, got up alone, went to work alone, and slept alone.
He had no parents, so it seemed unnecessary for Qin Jingru to do the first thing for a new bride after she entered the family.
She had never hated herself so much. She felt she was too selfish. She knew she couldn't marry Wang Shouren, and Qin Jingru was someone she had introduced to her. So why did she feel bitter?
Seeing that Qin Huairu remained silent, Wang Shouren realized something, walked over, and took Qin Huairu's hand, a move that startled her.
I wanted to pull it out, but when I looked up and saw that bright smile, I couldn't bear to pull it out anymore.
He took Qin Huairu's and Qin Jingru's hands respectively, and said with a smile, "The three of us will always be together."
"Mmm-hmm." Qin Jingru nodded frantically, then emphasized again, "I am the official wife."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu chuckled and said in an annoyed tone, "Then do I need to pay my respects to you?"
"No need for that, but if you insist on inviting me, it's not impossible." Her eager look finally angered Qin Huairu, who then stretched out her sinful hands.
"Sis, ouch, what are you doing... no, it tickles..."
