"Xinyi, where have you been for the past six months? Why didn't you write a single letter home?" Zheng Xinwei asked.
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became gloomy. Cuihua could not help wiping away her tears, and Zheng Shaochun was sitting at the door, smoking his pipe.
Zheng Xinyue placed her hands on Cuihua's shoulders, which was an invisible comfort. She looked at Zheng Xinyi with red eyes and said, "Sister, do you know how worried we were about you during the past six months when you left? You had no news at all. Mom cried day and night while hugging the pillow you slept on."
"I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't mean to write home, but I just had too many things happen to me." Zheng Xinyi lowered her head with an apologetic look.
Cuihua pushed Zheng Xinyue, signaling her to stop talking, and then went forward to comfort Xinyi: "My daughter, it's okay, it's all in the past, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Zheng Xinyi took out the new clothes and dates she had made for everyone at her tailor shop in Beijing from the box and distributed them to everyone one by one: "This is the gift I brought back for everyone."
"Wow, what beautiful new clothes. I want to try them on." As she spoke, Zheng Xinyue had already entered the inner room carrying the clothes.
A moment later, she came out skipping and jumping in her new clothes and walked around the lobby: "Mom, am I pretty?"
Cuihua nodded slightly with tears in her eyes: "Beautiful, beautiful."
Zheng Xinwei took a quick look and noticed another package in her suitcase. When he opened it, he found several newly made clothes. The most important thing was that there were two sets of men's clothes inside. Judging from the colors, they should be for one old man and one young boy.
He glanced at Zheng Xinyi and asked in confusion: "Xinyi, who is this for?"
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Xinyi quickly snatched the package from his hand: "This is for the Cheng family."
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in shock. After a long while, Cuihua stepped forward and said, "Xinyi, during the time you were gone, the Cheng family has been causing trouble for us a lot. Besides, you and Cheng Haoyu are already a thing of the past. There's no need to give them gifts."
Zheng Xinyi's facial expression turned serious: "Dad, Mom, Cheng Haoyu and I have reconciled. We have already discussed it when we came back this time. After the New Year, we will plan to get married."
"What?" Zheng Xinyue and Zheng Xinwei looked at each other and shouted the word at the same time.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, especially Zheng Shaochun, whose reaction was particularly excited. He slammed the pipe in his hand onto the table with a bang and said, "Nonsense! It was you who wanted to cancel the engagement in the first place, and now it's you who wants to go get married. You are the sun in the sky, and everyone should revolve around you."
"Dad, listen to me. I did have my own reasons for breaking off the engagement before. Now I'm sure that I want it in my heart. I've already discussed it with Cheng Haoyu. After the New Year, he will come to marry me, and then I'll go back to the army with him." Zheng Xinyi said confidently.
"Xinyi, let me make my position clear to you today. I will definitely not agree to this marriage with the Cheng family." Zheng Shaochun was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he looked very nervous.
"Dad..." Before Zheng Xinyi could finish her words, Cuihua stopped her with a look and pulled her into the inner room.
He closed the door to the inner room and said, "My daughter, ever since your engagement with Cheng Haoyu was broken off, the villagers have been pointing fingers at our family. The Cheng family even comes to humiliate us from time to time. Your father is so embarrassed!"
