Chapter 490: Preparing for the Wedding

At this time, the principal was also explaining.

"Yes, you, Teacher Song and Teacher Shen, went home to get married, and will be back soon after the wedding!"

But the group of children were crying and shaking their heads.

"I don't want Teacher Song and Teacher Shen to go back!"

"Yeah, there was a teacher who asked for leave to go home, but after she left, she never came back!"

"I know that we are poor here, and the roads are all mountainous. It is difficult to go out, but Teacher Song, Teacher Shen, I beg you! I want to learn, I want to go out of the mountains and take a look, I want to make our mountains better. Teachers, can you please not leave?"

"Teacher Song..."

"Teacher Song, Teacher Shen........"

"Teacher, please..."

Facing the children's pleading gazes, not only Song Shimiao and Shen Huaian shed tears, but Zhao Huili and Song Shiwei beside them also wiped their tears.

At this moment, Song Shiwei seemed to suddenly understand her sister's persistence.

She is here, needed by so many children. She can illuminate the way ahead for the children in the mountainous areas and be a guiding light on their life journey!

She said this is her persistence and dream!

This is where she realizes the value of life!

Xinxin even lay in Zhao Huili's arms and started crying.

At this moment, no one knew what Song Shimiao was thinking. She suddenly wiped away her tears, smiled and hugged the group of children.

"I'm not leaving! The teacher is not leaving. Can the teacher stay with you?"

The children's eyes widened with joy.

"Really? Teacher Song, you're really not leaving?"

"Is it true? Teacher Song!"

Look at her nodding vigorously.

Zhao Huili stretched out her hand: "Miaomiao..."

But in the end, nothing was said.

The bell for class rang.

Teacher Yue took the children back to class.

Only then did Song Shimiao wipe his tears and stand up.

Shen Huaian looked at her straight in the eyes: "Have you thought about it?"

Song Shimiao nodded vigorously: "I've thought about it!"

Then, she turned to Zhao Huili and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to go back with you. These children can't live without me, and I... can't live without them either!"

Zhao Huili stepped forward and grabbed her hand, tears streaming down her face.

"My silly child, what are you going to do?"

Song Shimiao smiled and turned to look at Shen Huaian behind him.

"Mom, I've decided. I want to get married here! I don't need any wedding or any sense of ceremony. I want to invite my students to be witnesses of my marriage to Huai'an!"

"The children here are all poor children. The one just mentioned, his parents went out to work, and he lived with his grandfather at home all year round. His grandfather was old and blind. In addition to going to school, he had to take care of his blind grandfather every day, picking pig grass, feeding chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs! Going up the mountain to chop firewood, washing clothes and cooking! He was only seven years old, and at such a young age, he had to shoulder the burden of the family!"

"And there's that little girl. Her father is paralyzed in bed, her mother has some mental problems, and she has a five-year-old brother and a two-year-old sister. It was Huaian and I who went to her home to persuade her before she was willing to go out to school!"

"That kid with a bald head lives more than 20 miles away from the school. He goes to school before dawn every day. He runs dozens of miles on the mountain road and his shoes are worn out! He cherishes this hard-earned learning opportunity and always gets first place in every exam!"

..........

I listened to her describing the situations of these children one by one as if she knew them all by heart.

Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong's tears kept flowing out as if they were free.

“They are all poor children!”

In the end, she agreed with Song Shimiao's decision!

"Okay, let's hold the wedding here!"

Shen Huaian was also very happy.

"I, I'm going to find a phone in town right now. I'm going to call my parents! Ask them to come over!"

After all, if they want to get married, both parents must be present. Moreover, since he can't give Miaomiao a grand wedding, the necessary procedures must be followed!

When his parents heard about it, they packed their bags and boarded the train to come here that day.

The school has also contacted someone to pick us up at the station!

Since the daughter is getting married, Zhao Huili, Song Zhiyong and Song Shiwei certainly cannot sit idle.

I took Xinxin with me to the town to buy things, and at the same time I had to call my relatives at home to inform them.

First, they had to decorate their cave.

There are also various things needed for the wedding that need to be purchased.

Of course, the most important thing is the various chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables for the wedding banquet.

Song Shiwei contacted Uncle Wang directly and asked him to deliver the food!

When Uncle Wang heard that it was her sister getting married, he was so happy that he immediately took the matter.

By the time the Shen family arrived, Song Shiwei and her relatives had almost all arrived as well.

Song Wenlin and Xiaoxiao, Zhou Wanyu and Wang Biao, Gousheng and Xiaocui, Shen Xiu'e and Zhou Runde brought Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei, and four other little guys.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were too old to come, but Zhao Jianshe came with everyone in the Zhao family.

Song Yingying was still in confinement and couldn't come, but Liao Yongqiang came with some things.

Song Shimiao was so surprised to see so many people coming that he cried.

"You guys, why are you all here?"

Song Wenlin smiled and touched her head.

"My sister is getting married, can we not come?"

Zhou Wanyu also laughed: "Yes, yes, you are married, how can we not come!"

The sisters-in-law of the Zhao family came forward one by one to congratulate him.

When Song Shiwei saw Liao Yongqiang, she couldn't help but ask him quietly.

"How are things? Have Feng Chunmei and the others stopped causing trouble?"

When he heard her mention Feng Chunmei, Liao Yongqiang's expression suddenly changed.

Song Shiwei knew that something must have happened again.

"What happened?"

Liao Yongqiang sighed deeply.

"Well, they found a large number of media reporters from nowhere and said that our company's head, Song Yingying, was unfilial and arrogant after becoming rich, and didn't recognize her biological parents and brothers. Because our company is quite famous in the south, it caused quite a stir!"

"In the end, Yingying came forward and held a press conference, inviting reporters from all over Pengcheng to attend. During the conference, she revealed everything that Feng Chunmei and her husband had done! Everyone understood what was going on, and also understood that the couple were black-hearted and rotten-hearted. In the end, they became rats crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, and they fled back to Beijing overnight!"

I felt relieved when I heard from him that the couple had left Pengcheng.

"It's hard for Yingying. She has to worry about this while she is in confinement. We must take good care of her."

Liao Yongqiang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yingying. This time the child is young and she can't come, so she asked me to send a blessing to Miaomiao!"

Not many people came from the Shen family, including relatives and friends. Only the couple and Shen Huaian's brother and sister came.

However, Zhao Huili and her family also understood that most of their family members worked in government agencies, so how could they all take leave?

Now that everyone has taken leave, who will do the work?

And you never know the difference until you meet. When they met, it was as if both parents hit it off right away.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen are very easy to get along with.

If you are not narrow-minded, you will not agree to let your children teach in the mountains!

The decision was made the day we arrived.

The Shen family converted all the betrothal gifts into money and brought them here, otherwise it would have been inconvenient to carry them on the road.

The Shen family gave a betrothal gift of one thousand yuan, and Shen's mother also took out a small rosewood box and handed it to Song Shimiao.

"Good children, this is a pair of jade bracelets passed down from our ancestors! I will pass them on to you, one for you and one for your sister-in-law!"

Song Shimiao opened it and was stunned for a moment.

The water content of this jade is particularly good, very moist, and it is emerald green.

She knew that her second sister loved collecting these things, so she held the box in front of her.

Song Shiwei was also amazed when he saw it. Jadeite of such good quality is so rare!

I'm afraid that if it were put in the 21st century, this bracelet alone would be worth more than a million!

She quickly asked Song Shimiao to put it away.

"Your mother-in-law really loves you! It is a blessing for Miaomiao to have such a mother-in-law!"

Everyone was happy to hear this.

Since it was not easy for everyone to come here and everyone was busy, we simply scheduled the wedding banquet for the next day.

The night before, Song Shiwei started to get busy.

We borrowed dozens of tables from nearby villagers and set up the large open space in front of the cave.

He also invited nearby villagers to attend the wedding.

She set up a stove and personally served as the chef for her sister and brother-in-law's wedding banquet!

Xiao Cui, Gou Sheng and several sisters-in-law came to help.

There were chicken, duck, fish and meat. The night before, Song Shiwei washed, cut and fried everything that needed to be fried, cut and washed.

This way you can start doing it directly the next day.
