Time flies like flowing water, and another year passes slowly.
On the first day after the New Year holiday at the military academy, Qin Zheng stood at the door of the principal's office early, waiting for the principal to arrive.
The principal was a little surprised and asked, "Qin Zheng? Why are you here? What's the matter? Come on, let's go inside and talk."
After Qin Zheng entered the room, he got straight to the point and said, "Principal, can you do me a favor? Ask the principal's wife to propose marriage to the Xu family on my behalf."
The principal was surprised and asked, "Ah? You and Chengde have agreed? To get married this year?"
"It's settled. I'm just waiting for someone to propose and get married." As he said that, Qin Zheng handed the marriage report in his hand to the principal.
"Principal, this is my marriage proposal. After much thought, I've decided that since you're the matchmaker between Zhiyi and me, it would be most appropriate for the principal's wife to propose marriage on my behalf. So, please tell the principal's wife and ask her to help me."
"Damn it, that's pretty quick. Okay, I got it. I'll tell her when I get home."
Qin Zheng repeatedly emphasized: "Principal, don't forget it, think about it."
The principal was a little annoyed by Qin Zheng's urging: "I know, get out now."
Late at night, the principal told the matter after returning home.
The principal's wife was also surprised. "Guaiguai really fell in love with him? Xu Chengde is willing to let his precious daughter marry a peasant? Oh, you said that even Guaiguai wants to get married now, we are really getting old!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with country people? What's the difference between country people and city people? Aren't we all human beings? We have one nose, two eyes, and one mouth. With that mouth of yours, you're going to offend people sooner or later."
"What's wrong with my mouth? I said it, can you arrest me? Besides, was I wrong? Is Xu Chengde really willing? If it's not for other reasons, would he be willing to let Xu Zhiyi marry a peasant?"
"Okay, I can't argue with you. But regarding this matter between Qin Zheng and Zhi Yi, are you going to take it or not?"
"Of course I answered. Guaiguai is my best friend and Xinru's daughter. How could I not answer?"
"Okay, then you think about it."
"I've seen Qin Zheng from afar before. He's a really good kid. It's just that..." The principal's wife shut up immediately after seeing the look the principal was giving her.
"Qin Zheng has the blood of our generation. He is the most suitable person for Zhiyi. Qin Zheng's mind is full of Zhiyi now, which is good."
"It's perfect that a guy like this has something in mind. Whether he's after a good-looking face or a good-looking figure, at least we know what he wants. A guy like this is the easiest to grasp. Isn't that exactly what you and Xu Chengde are satisfied with about him?"
The principal was speechless after hearing what the principal's wife said. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."
On the first day of February, Qin Zheng followed the principal's wife to the Xu family to propose marriage.
This time, Qin Zheng was accompanied by someone, and the principal's wife often visited the military family compound, so there were no chattering people around. They just stood by and greeted him.
"Hey, Madam Principal, how come you have time to come to our military family compound today? Look at you, the military family compound and the military academy family compound are so close, and we only see each other once all year round."
"I'm here to propose marriage to Zhiyi, on behalf of Xiao Qin."
"You are the one I understand. It's great, a perfect match."
Qin Zheng grabbed a handful of candy and put it in her hand, "Auntie, have some wedding candy." After that, he grabbed a few more handfuls and gave them to the other people around him.
"Aunts, eat wedding candy."
"Okay, okay, let the principal's wife take you there quickly. Don't miss the time."
"Okay, once the date is set, let's all come and have some fun."
Inside the Xu family, as soon as the principal's wife entered the room, she took Xu Zhiyi's hand and talked for half an hour before she started talking about her own business.
"Brother, I looked at the lunar calendar and found that February 16th is a good day. What do you think?"
"Well, since you said it was a good day, it must be right."
"That's it, then. How do we prepare the betrothal gifts?"
"I already have all the four big appliances, a bicycle, a radio I don't need, and a watch. I just need to buy a sewing machine, which will cost me another 1,000 yuan.
If you want a good dowry, we can provide a washing machine and a TV, and then take the betrothal gift from Qin Zheng. What do you think, Qin Zheng?"
"I always listen to Uncle Xu."
"Brother, let's make it a decision. On the 16th day of the second lunar month, Guigui and Qin Zheng will have their wedding."
Outside the yard, Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi and said, "Being with me has wronged you."
Xu Zhiyi asked doubtfully, "Unjust? How am I wronged? I don't feel wronged."
Qin Zheng listened to Xu Zhiyi's words and felt that Xu Zhiyi was lying. He promised: "Zhiyi, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I will work hard to climb up and support you."
Although Xu Zhiyi was a little confused, he still agreed: "Okay, I understand. I know you are very powerful, very, very powerful. I am waiting for you to support me."
At the same time, Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng also decided on the date of their wedding, which was the tenth day of the second lunar month, one week before Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng's wedding.
Three days later, Qin Zheng looked at the money and letter sent from home in his hands, and his eyes were sore.
Xie Heng heard the news of Qin Zheng's letter from home outside and rushed in in a panic: "Qin Zheng, did your family send you money? How much did they send?"
Qin Zheng glanced at Xie Heng, put down the things in his hands without saying a word, and turned to go downstairs.
Xie Heng naturally knew how impulsive he had been. There was no point in asking someone directly how much money their family had sent. But Xie Heng just wanted to know!
