Chapter 119 Five days later, the wedding!
Yang Lifang deliberately read out each gift aloud, causing the villagers watching the spectacle outside to gasp in astonishment.
"Why is Secretary Song so generous!"
"Secretary Song is really rich! He's already giving so many gifts just for proposing marriage!"
"Aunt Chunxue is so lucky!"
Even Zhang Chunxue herself was shocked, let alone the villagers: "Why did you bring so much stuff?"
“I still feel like this isn’t enough…” Song Xingzhi was a little embarrassed, and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Oh right, there’s this too.”
Zhang Chunxue took it curiously, opened it, and her eyes widened immediately.
Inside was a Shanghai brand watch!
Yang Lifang shouted, "Wow! Director Song even gave Chunxue a Shanghai brand ladies' watch!"
The villagers who had gathered to watch were in an uproar!
People usually only give three rounds and a ringtone when they get married, but Director Song has already given two rounds even before getting married!
"They're already giving you a watch? Then when we get married, they'll definitely be giving you a sewing machine and a radio too!"
"No one in our village can afford the 'three turns and one sound' wedding gift, right? Director Song is really rich!"
"How can you compare Director Song to these people in our village? Is there any comparison?"
Zhang Chunxue gasped, then looked at Song Xingzhi in disbelief: "You...you bought a watch?"
Song Xingzhi nodded slightly: "If Sister Chunxue has a watch, it will be more convenient for her to do everything... I think I will prepare anything Sister Chunxue needs."
It would be a lie to say Zhang Chunxue wasn't moved, after all, Song Xingzhi was genuinely thinking about what to prepare for her.
"But……"
She wanted to say that this was too expensive, but she didn't expect Song Xingzhi to guess her thoughts.
"Anyway, we'll have to buy these things for the wedding."
Zhang Chunxue was speechless.
Yang Lifang shoved her, saying, "So Chunxue! You'd better give me an answer on whether this will work or not!"
Zhang Chunxue's face turned bright red: "He's put so much effort into this, if I say no, wouldn't I be letting him down?"
Yang Lifang was overjoyed: "Great! We've really helped make a good match!"
Zhong Aiguo also smiled broadly: "Then let's discuss a date and get the wedding done?"
He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket: "I've looked at a few auspicious dates, and the next auspicious date is in five days..."
Song Xingzhi immediately said, "I think the weather is nice."
Yang Lifang laughed heartily: "Our Director Song can't wait to get married."
Song Xingzhi blushed and then softly hummed in agreement.
"Then the date is set," Zhang Chunxue said, unusually shy. "Brother Aiguo, Sister-in-law Lifang, and Xingzhi, please have a seat. I'll go prepare lunch..."
Yang Lifang chuckled: "What time is it? You're already preparing lunch?"
She patted Zhang Chunxue on the shoulder: "What's the rush? Your brother Aiguo and I are planning to go do some work in the fields, so don't worry!"
"Noon? You don't need to treat us. Your brother Aiguo and I will come!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded somewhat shyly: "Then it's settled!"
Song Xingzhi also coughed lightly: "I also need to go back to the brigade headquarters... I'll come back at noon."
Yang Lifang helped carry the items on the table to the kitchen, while instructing Zhong Xiaoxiao to put the rest away in the room.
Zhong Xiaoxiao still feels like she's in a dream.
Hey! So in five days, she and Teacher Song will be family.
Teacher Song really became his stepfather!
Zhong Xiaoxiao felt happy just thinking about it.
When Zhong Aiguo and Yang Lifang came out, they saw a lot of people outside the courtyard gate and immediately chased them away.
"What are you all doing here instead of working? Do you have lots of grain and money at home?"
The others immediately surrounded them.
"Oh, Uncle Aiguo, Aunt Chunxue agreed?"
"Isn't that obvious?" an older woman next to her said irritably. "With Director Song's terms, even if Chunxue were crazy, she couldn't possibly refuse!"
Zhong Aiguo cleared his throat and said, "Director Song and Chunxue's wedding banquet is scheduled for five days from now. Everyone is welcome to come and have a meal to share in the joy!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Chunxue married Director Song! She's really living the good life now!"
"That's right, Director Song's conditions are top-notch!"
One of the smarter ones immediately looked at Song Xingzhi and said, "Oh, Director Song, I wish you and Sister Chunxue a long and happy marriage! A long and happy marriage indeed!"
A smile immediately appeared on Song Xingzhi's face: "Yes, thank you!"
He nodded somewhat reservedly: "Everyone, go get to work first! After all, the work in the fields is more important."
The villagers chatted excitedly while going about their work.
Soon, the news spread throughout Zhongjia Village and even the Hongxing Brigade.
After all, this is Song Xingzhi! Song Xingzhi who has been in Zhongjia Village for nearly twenty years and has never had a girlfriend!
Now that he's suddenly getting married, and his fiancé is Zhang Chunxue, who's already a grandmother, who wouldn't be surprised?
It can be said that the entire brigade was shocked by this incident.
It's a shame there's no social media these days, otherwise this would definitely be the headline of the Red Star Brigade.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was so excited that she kept pestering Zhang Chunxue with questions at home, while at Liu Cuie's house, it was even more chaotic.
Liu Cuie was constantly cursing and swearing at home.
"If Zhang Chunxue is getting married, then the bride price she received should be given to me!"
She had also heard about the gifts Song Xingzhi had sent to propose marriage, and she was so tempted that her mouth was practically watering.
To be honest, everyone else was also very tempted, but no matter how much they wanted it, they remained clear-headed.
“Mom, forget about those things! Not to mention that my second brother and she separated from us a long time ago, and he has been dead for six years,” the youngest son, Zhong Guoyong, said with a sneer. “We haven’t taken care of my second sister-in-law in these six years, so there’s no way she would take those things out.”
Liu Cuie knew this all too well.
But she was still unwilling to accept it and couldn't help but shout again: "Song Xingzhi and Zhong Aiguo just don't know how to behave. No matter what, I am still Zhang Chunxue's mother-in-law!"
"If Zhang Chunxue wants to remarry, they'll all have to ask for my opinion, right?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more heartbroken she became. She couldn't help but slam her hand on the table: "I think they just don't respect me!"
Even the two daughters-in-law who had been following their mother-in-law to cause trouble for Zhang Chunxue fell silent at this moment.
No, who are you? Why should they give you face?
But neither of them dared to say it, and could only keep their heads down and remain silent.
Liu Cuie was still furious: "No, I have to go find Zhang Chunxue! She has to give me something!"
