Su Shien asked for leave from the teacher again, not because he was obsessed with beauty and indulged in excessive sexual activities, but because Han Zean and Dingxiang were getting engaged.
After being beaten by both his mother and his cousin, the blockhead finally opened up to emotions.
Although he is not good at sweet talk, he can be caring and considerate.
Dingxiang is also a pragmatic person. Sweet words are useless to her. Instead, such considerate care can make her feel at ease.
Then there is the attitude of the Han family towards her, especially her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Such a family atmosphere is really hard to refuse.
Dingxiang had no intention of returning to her hometown. From the moment she was sold by her grandmother, her family ties were bought out with two taels of silver, and she no longer had any connection with that family.
What she meant was to just set up two tables for the banquet and have the whole family sit together to eat as a witness, and other cumbersome etiquette could be avoided if possible.
Han Zeping felt that this was a lifelong event, and even if they were engaged, he couldn't let Dingxiang down, so when he went to the farm to get the live pigs, he asked his clever cousin for advice.
Han Zeyu munched on roasted corn while listening to his second cousin tell him about his sweet troubles.
She threw away the corn cob, took out a handkerchief to wipe her black little hands, and complained hypocritically in her heart that no one wiped her hands when her husband was not around, and she had to listen to the stupid straight man share his love experience with her.
"That's easy. We can hold the engagement ceremony in the village and have all the villagers be witnesses. It's just a matter of spreading some wedding candy."
This is a good suggestion. Han Ze'an thinks it is feasible. When he gets married, he will ask his cousin for advice. He will definitely be able to have a grand wedding.
Han Zeyu reminded him not to mention Dingxiang's family unless necessary. Not all parents love their children, and not all native families are warm.
Han Zean said seriously, "I understand. I will do my best to treat her well and not let her be sad."
"Alright, alright, go away! It's no use telling me that. Go tell your wife!"
Han Zeyu chased people away like flies. Don't show off your love in front of him. He is a pure carnivore and doesn't buy into the fresh and innocent style.
The store was closed for two days and the Han family returned to the village. It was rare for them to get together like this except during the Chinese New Year.
Su Shien was caught writing wedding words and engagement documents, and Tiezhu stayed to help.
As soon as Han Zeyu returned to Yunshan Village, he went into the mountains, with a trail of little tails following him.
Han Zecang led the Boy Scouts to follow the footsteps of his elder brother. He was originally a dark-skinned wild boy. After spending a year in the academy, he almost became a pretty boy.
Han Zeli is learning the Three Character Classic in the county town, and Han Yumo is learning needlework in the provincial capital. The twin boy and girl get together to complain about the dullness of studying, and lament that they were happier when they had a carefree childhood.
Zhao Xun asked Erya if there was anything new happening in the village.
Erya hurriedly shared with everyone that there was news about Qian Ning, who had disappeared for half a year.
Han Zeyu was very interested in this topic and quickly came over to listen to the gossip.
Qian Ning asked someone to bring back two taels of silver to his home, saying that his master thought he was honest, diligent and thoughtful, so he stayed.
This was said by Aunt Qian. Ever since she received the money, she has been showing off everywhere and praising Qian Ning to the sky, as if she was not the one who favored boys over girls.
Zhao Xun wondered, "Who brought back the wages?"
Erya hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, "It should be Zhao Min'er, because she came back once. It was only after she left the village that Aunt Qian started spreading the news."
Han Zeyu understood. This meant that Qian Ning had found Zhao Yan and came back to give money to the Qian family in order to stabilize them.
Sun Manqi probably doesn't know that he has a new illegitimate son. Zhao Yan, who is happy to be a father, must be walking on thin ice, right?
Juggling between his wife and his ex-lover, while secretly supporting his children, would be an absolute drain on the average person, leaving them miserable.
But Zhao Yan is not an ordinary person. Han Zeyu feels that he will only work harder, and he should be able to be on the list of the autumn examination in two years.
Han Zeyu was right. Zhao Yan was working harder than ever before. However, the reason why he could concentrate on his studies was thanks to Qian Ning's mercy and not letting the whole thing go to waste.
Qian Ning's request was very simple: to pay the child support first, give him a status before he was officially matched, and arrange a background for the child.
The autumn examination two years later was Zhao Yan's only chance. As long as he passed the examination, he could bring the girl into his house openly.
In fact, he didn't want to answer the call, but looking at Qian Ning's style of doing things, it was impossible for him to unilaterally cut off contact.
In fact, Qian Ning didn't have to marry him. If Zhao Yan could pass the imperial examination in two years, he would fight Zhao Yan to the end.
If Zhao Yan fails the exam, he will hand the child over to him and let him find a suitable candidate for him.
He also didn't want to be someone's concubine. If he got lucky, he would just be a concubine. Who wouldn't want to be the master of the house?
Zhao Yan was hoping for the best, thinking that Qian Ning was still the boy who loved him, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to have a child. Little did he know that Qian Ning's heart was no longer with him.
Ever since Zhao Yan got married, the Zhao family has stayed in the county. Life here is so comfortable! Anyway, they don't want to go back to the village to farm.
Miss Sun was dissatisfied with the Zhao family's shameless behavior. Unable to bear it any longer, she went to talk to her husband.
This villa was the dowry given to her by her parents. Now her in-laws are all staying here. Isn't this a slap in her face?
Zhao Yan suggested renting a shop for his parents so that they could support themselves.
Sun Manqi agreed reluctantly. She also knew that Zhao Yan didn't have much money, so she paid the rent for them out of her own pocket. Anyway, as long as they didn't live together, it was fine.
Zhao Yan deducted a portion of the money and saved some more on a daily basis, and finally managed to squeeze out enough money to raise the child.
It is said that knowledge changes destiny. The only way to solve his current predicament is to study. Therefore, Zhao Yan became the most hardworking and motivated student in Qingshan Academy.
…
The engagement ceremony was lively and candies were given generously to everyone present, whether adults or children.
Han Zeyu has always been generous when giving gifts to his family, and he gave a little wild boar.
As soon as he entered the mountains, it meant that a wild boar was about to be sacrificed heroically. This time, he deliberately picked an underage piglet with tender meat.
He didn't mind the fishy smell of wild boar meat. After all, it wasn't raised on the pig feed produced in his factory, so it had no cost and tasted delicious.
Pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli is not a pig-killing dish, but the taste is absolutely amazing.
The villagers all praised the vermicelli for being well made, which gave Han Zeyu an inspiration to open a vermicelli processing factory in the village.
Although Han Zeyu doesn't know how to make vermicelli, he knows how to eat it and can talk about it on paper. The specific implementation can rely on the hardworking and courageous working people.
Sometimes, what humans lack is not the ability to invent and create, but a leader who pretends to know everything and likes to give blind orders.
Han Zeyu hated it! In the end, he became the person he hated the most. Is this the price of growing up?
