When Gao Shanshan saw Zhuang Sheng, she was so affectionate. Because of the previous pounce, Zhuang Sheng was completely unprepared and accidentally touched his wound. The pain came and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss". Seeing this, Gao Shanshan quickly stood up and said to Zhuang Sheng with an apologetic look:
"I'm sorry, brother! I hurt you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhuang Sheng stroked Gao Shanshan's little head with a loving smile on his lips: "Shanshan, Brother Sheng will live in your house from now on, okay?"
"Really? That's great, that's great!" Gao Shanshan jumped for joy, because under the guidance of her parents, Gao Shanshan was also an obedient and good child. She remembered all the kindness Zhuang Sheng had shown her.
She gave every penny of the money Zhuang Sheng gave her back to her parents. In those days, a few dollars could buy a lot of things. So Chen Jianmin and his wife naturally knew that Zhuang Sheng was a good child who deserved to be cherished...
"Girl, these jars are too heavy, you can't move them. Go and rest aside!" Gao Shu saw Liu Ruonan coming to help and hurriedly comforted her. The jars were full of grain, passed down from generation to generation. The weight of the grain was not something a girl could lift.
"It's okay, uncle. Let's work together to put these things in order so that we can clean the house." Liu Ruonan has been used to doing farm work since she was a child. This little bit of work is not difficult for her.
As he spoke, Chen Jianmin had already called over his three uncles. Although no one was willing to take Zhuang Sheng in, since he was his uncle and it was a big event, who wouldn't come and help?
"Come on, come on, let's do it. This is not a job that girls can do." Chen Jianhua rushed over and sent Liu Ruonan away. With his fat and burly body, it was very easy for him to do this job.
"Okay, then I'll go clean the house." Liu Ruonan responded with a smile. Without arguing, she picked up a broom from the corner and started cleaning the west room.
"This child, is she so impatient to marry Zhuang Sheng?" Li Ping shook her head in confusion. She really couldn't figure out what Liu Ruonan was thinking.
"That's right! Not only is Zhuang Sheng paralyzed now, but the little money he had was also taken away by his heartless father. What do you think this girl is trying to achieve?" The speaker was the third aunt Liu Ying, who was also very puzzled by Liu Ruonan's choice.
"This child is so pitiful. After asking for help from the crazy Da Zhuang, he jumped into the fire pit of the paralytic Zhuang Sheng..." Aunt Zhao Ling couldn't help but speak.
"Sister-in-law, how can you talk like that! Zhuang Sheng is our own child after all, how can you talk like that? No matter what, our Zhuang Sheng is a good boy, he will never make Nan Nan suffer." Chen Jianmin couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurried over and scolded in a low voice.
Zhao Ling curled her lips, musing internally. It would be strange if he wasn't suffering. He'd be unable to get out of bed his entire life, and wouldn't Liu Ruonan have to take care of him, eat, drink, defecate, and urinate? Furthermore, Zhuang Sheng was still living under someone else's roof, with no money at all. If he got married, he'd probably be in debt. If that wasn't suffering, what was it?
But these words were only muttered in the heart, but not said out loud. Everyone started to find things to do on their own, hoping to solve Zhuang Sheng's marriage so that there would be no more trouble for themselves.
At this time, my third uncle, Chen Jianguang, also hurried over, accompanied by the village chief and a strong man in an apron. This was the village chef, and he usually prepared banquets for weddings and funerals.
In this era, chefs didn't receive cash compensation for their help. At most, they would give him a few bottles of wine, a few boxes of cigarettes, or even some meat as a reward. But because of this, chefs could live a comfortable life, at least they could eat and drink well, and their homes were always full of delicious food and drinks.
"Hey! Brother Zhuang, you are here." Chen Jianmin hurried forward to greet him. In Lelin Village, the most common surnames are Liu and Zhuang.
"Coming, coming." Zhuang Laifu said with a smile, throwing the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stamping it out: "Jianmin, where do you tell me to start the preparations? I'll go there now."
"Just at the gate! We'll be waiting in the yard." Chen Jianmin said, then waved his hand to call Gao Shu over. Gao Shu put down the work in his hands and hurried over to wait for Chen Jianmin's instructions. However, before Chen Jianmin could say anything, he saw Gao Shanshan standing at the gate and shouting:
"Mom, Mom. Come here for a moment."
"What are you doing? Mom's busy!" Chen Jianmin was about to speak again when Gao Shanshan came running over and pulled Chen Jianmin into the room. "Brother wants to talk to you."
Chen Jianmin looked at Zhuang Sheng with a smile and said, "What's wrong, Zhuang Sheng?"
"Aunt, here are two thousand yuan, take it. Leave eight hundred for the betrothal gift, six hundred for the four big items, and you can prepare the remaining six hundred as you see fit!"
Chen Jianmin was very surprised when he saw the money Zhuang Sheng handed over. He stared at him with his eyes wide open, lowered his voice in disbelief, and asked, "Zhuang Sheng, where did you get all this money?"
"Aunt, don't worry. This money is clean. I later learned about my father's behavior, so I set aside half of it every month. You can use the two thousand yuan to plan the wedding, and I'll use the rest for my medical treatment." Zhuang Sheng was no fool. He had his own plans. Fortunately, he did so at the time. Otherwise, in the situation he was in today, he would have been waiting for death.
Hearing Zhuang Sheng say this, Chen Jianmin felt relieved. As for asking their family to spend so much money to prepare Zhuang Sheng's wedding, they really didn't have the ability to do so. At best, they could only hold a banquet for him.
Although she was quite excited about the busy work just now, she was also worried. How was she going to get the 800 yuan and four large betrothal gifts that Liu Ruonan wanted for this out-of-province family? What's more, the wedding was held in such a hurry, and she didn't know whether tomorrow would be a good day.
