Chapter 100: Proposing Marriage?
Zhang Chunxue wanted to stay with Song Yanshen, but seeing Song Xingzhi's attitude, she knew he would definitely not agree, so she hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Then I'll go back in a bit... What about you?"
Song Xingzhi nodded and said, "I'll go back after Yan Shen falls asleep, and I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunxue immediately said, "Then I'll go with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly tried to make amends: "What I meant was, I rode a tricycle here, so it will be more convenient for us to go back together."
Song Xingzhi chuckled softly, "Alright, whatever you say."
The two sat on one side, chatting and waiting for Song Yanshen to fall asleep.
Song Yanshen felt that he couldn't sleep, he couldn't sleep at all.
Suddenly adopted, I no longer have to worry about three meals a day, no longer have to huddle under someone else's eaves on rainy days, and no longer have to hide in a haystack in winter for fear of freezing to death.
It seems he really has a place to stay.
Listening to Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi talking quietly beside him, Song Yanshen had a vague feeling that his parents were coaxing him to sleep.
But he had no parents and had never experienced such a scene before.
How did I come up with the idea of going here?
Song Yanshen was somewhat dazed.
In a daze, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Once they realized the child was fast asleep, Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue quietly got up and tiptoed out of the ward.
When the two walked out of the hospital, it was already completely dark outside.
Zhang Chunxue walked to the tricycle and patted the cargo bed: "Get in! I'll take you home!"
Upon hearing this, she suddenly had the feeling that a future rich woman would be keeping a gigolo.
However, the car was bought by her "gigolo," who is much richer than her.
Song Xingzhi was amused by her: "Let me ride! You sit in the back and hold the flashlight for me."
"I'm a grown man, I feel bad asking Sister Chunxue to give me a ride."
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but laugh.
The "pretty boy" is quite concerned about his image.
However, she obediently climbed onto the front of the car.
"It's getting late, let's go!"
Both of them were very happy.
Zhang Chunxue was kicking even harder because she had met the little mute boy in advance, and Song Xingzhi was kicking even harder because he and Chunxue had a son.
"Once the child's injuries heal, we'll go to the village and settle down. Then we'll be a real family," Song Xingzhi said, his tone light and cheerful.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Chunxue could tell that he wasn't just talking about Song Yanshen and her, and her face flushed slightly again.
Song Xingzhi also felt that since Sister Chunxue had already said so much today, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to express his own opinion.
He controlled his excitement and asked in a low voice, "Sister Chunxue, when do you think would be a good time for me to propose marriage?"
Zhang Chunxue was taken aback by his sudden remark and coughed for a while, which made Song Xingzhi nervous.
"Sister Chunxue, what's wrong?"
Zhang Chunxue quickly said, "It's nothing, I just choked on some saliva."
Song Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his question had been too abrupt.
He forced himself to remain calm, but couldn't help asking again, "Then when would be appropriate?"
Zhang Chunxue also hesitated a bit: "This... I don't know either... it's up to you."
She recalled what Yang Lifang had told her, and her tone became somewhat unnatural: "Sister-in-law Lifang told me before that if I wanted to remarry, she could help me find a match!"
A smile involuntarily appeared on Song Xingzhi's lips: "Yes! I know... I originally planned to have Brother Aiguo help me propose marriage."
Zhang Chunxue lowered her head and responded softly.
The road was quiet in the summer night, with only the sounds of cicadas and frogs from the fields nearby, a tranquil yet beautiful scene.
They soon arrived at the brigade headquarters, but Song Xingzhi didn't stop. Instead, he took Zhang Chunxue home before getting off the tricycle.
"Then Chunxue, you should get some rest. I'll head back now... Shall we go see Yanshen together tomorrow?"
Although he said that, he couldn't bring himself to leave the courtyard; his feet felt rooted to the spot.
Just then, a light came on in one of the rooms on the side.
Even though Song Xingzhi was extremely reluctant, he couldn't stay here any longer.
"Then I'll head back now..."
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but worry: "Why don't you ride the tricycle back? It's already this late..."
Song Xingzhi smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, it's not far. It's just a few steps outside the village."
His Adam's apple bobbed. "Then, Sister Chunxue, I'm leaving..."
Song Xingzhi left, turning back every few steps, before Zhang Chunxue prepared to go to the kitchen to get some water to wash up.
Zhong Xiaoxiao poked her head out of the room: "Mom, you're back?"
Seeing Zhong Xiaoxiao, Zhang Chunxue smiled and asked, "Hmm... why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhong Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes: "I was already asleep, but I woke up when I heard noises outside."
Her face was full of concern: "Mom, where did you go just now?"
“I went to the hospital,” Zhang Chunxue said, walking over and patting her head. “Go back to sleep! Mom will take you to the hospital tomorrow too.”
Zhong Xiaoxiao was confused, but she believed whatever Zhang Chunxue said, so she obediently withdrew her head and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Chunxue began preparing breakfast.
After washing up and entering the kitchen, Zhong Xiaoxiao remembered what happened last night.
"Mom, did I get up in the middle of the night last night and hear you say you were going to the hospital?"
Seeing her blank expression, Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah, that's right, you don't think you're dreaming, do you?"
Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it because I think I heard Teacher Song's voice?"
Zhang Chunxue coughed lightly again: "Yes, I came back with your teacher Song yesterday... because we happened to run into each other at the hospital."
Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "Teacher Song went to the hospital too?"
What are you all doing at the hospital?
Zhang Chunxue served her a bowl of porridge and handed her a steamed bun.
"The little mute boy your sister mentioned yesterday was the one that your teacher, Mr. Song, rescued and took to the hospital... I only found out about this when I met your teacher, Mr. Song, at the hospital."
Zhong Xiaoxiao's eyes widened: "Mom, you went out last night to see that little mute boy at the hospital?"
Zhou Mingli happened to be carrying her child into the kitchen when she heard this and was also somewhat shocked: "Mom, do you know that little mute girl?"
Zhang Chunxue shook her head: "We didn't know each other before, but we will in the future."
Her tone was light: "I'm going to adopt him, and I've already picked out a name... So, you'll have another little brother from now on."
