Chapter 490 Preparing for the Wedding
At this time, the principal was also explaining.
"Yes, your teacher Xiao Song and teacher Shen went home to get married, and they will be back soon after the wedding!"
But the group of children cried and shook 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 we are poor here, and the roads here are all mountainous, so it's hard to go out, but Teacher Song, Teacher Shen, I beg you! I want to learn, I want to get 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 burst into tears, but Zhao Huili and Song Shiwei beside them also started wiping away 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 mountains and be a guiding light on their life journey!
She said this is her persistence and dream!
This is where she realizes her life value!
Xinxin even lay in Zhao Huili's arms and started crying.
At this moment, I don’t know what Song Shimiao was thinking. She suddenly wiped her tears, smiled and hugged the group of children.
"I'm not leaving! The teacher is not leaving. Can the teacher stay with you guys?"
The children opened their eyes wide 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 nothing was said.
The class bell rang.
Teacher Yue took the children back to class.
Only then did Song Shimiao wipe away 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, but tears flowed down her eyes.
"My silly child, what will you 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 me and Huai'an!"
"The children here are all poor children. The one just mentioned, his parents go out to work, and he lives with his grandfather at home all year round. His grandfather is old and blind. In addition to going to school, he has to take care of his blind grandfather every day, cut grass for pigs, feed chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs! Go up the mountain to chop firewood, wash clothes and cook! He is only seven years old, at such a young age, he has already shouldered the burden of the family!"
"And 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 only after Huaian and I went to her home to persuade her that she was willing to go to school!"
"That bald kid lives more than 20 miles from 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 ranks first 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 overjoyed.
"I, I'm going to go 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 sets of 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 very day.
The school has also contacted someone to pick us up at the station!
Since their 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 of all, 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 chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables used in 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 who was getting married, he was so happy that he immediately took charge of 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 with Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei, and four little ones.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were too old to come, but Zhao Jianshe came with everyone from the Zhao family.
Song Yingying was still in confinement and couldn't come, but Liao Yongqiang came with some things.
So many people came, Song Shimiao was so surprised that tears came to his eyes.
"You all, 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 them.
When Song Shiwei saw Liao Yongqiang, she couldn't help but ask him quietly.
"How are things? Feng Chunmei and the others are not causing trouble again, right?"
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 somewhere and said that our company's head, Song Yingying, was unfilial and arrogant now that she had money. She 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, it was Yingying who 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 had happened, 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 him say 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. The child is young this time, so she can't come. She asked me to send a blessing to Miaomiao!"
Not many people from the Shen family came, no relatives or friends came, only the couple and Shen Huaian's brother and sister came.
However, Zhao Huili and the others 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 wouldn’t have known it until you met. After they met, the parents of both sides felt like they were old friends.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen are very easy to get along with.
If you are not narrow-minded, you would not agree to let your children go to mountainous areas to teach!
The decision was made the day we arrived.
The Shen family converted all the betrothal gifts into money and brought them over, 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 that have been passed down from our ancestors! I will pass them down to you, one for you and one for your sister-in-law!"
When Song Shimiao opened it, he was stunned instantly.
The water content of this jade is particularly good and very smooth, and it is the emerald green kind.
She knew that her second sister loved collecting this thing, so she held the box in front of her.
Song Shiwei was also amazed when he saw it. It is so rare to find jade of such good quality!
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, the wedding banquet was simply scheduled for the next day.
The night before, Song Shiwei started to get busy.
We borrowed dozens of tables from nearby villagers and set them up in the large open space in front of the cave.
The nearby villagers were also invited to attend the wedding.
She set up the 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.
