Chapter 146 Wedding Banquet
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Song Xingzhi's back: "Yes, we're married..."
Song Xingzhi buried his head in Zhang Chunxue's hair, wiping away the tears that welled up in the corners of his eyes from excitement.
The people outside started making a fuss again.
"Oh my! Secretary Song has finally won the heart of his beauty!"
"Look how excited our Secretary Song is!"
"Back when Secretary Song was still an educated youth in our village, he looked down on everyone. We thought he really would never get married!"
"Our Chunxue is so charming!"
"That's right, but Sister Chunxue is quite capable herself! To be honest, everyone in the village praises her!"
The Song family watched this scene with satisfaction.
They genuinely thought Song Xingzhi would never get married! After all, that's how the Song family is; once they've set their sights on someone, it's really hard for them to like someone else.
When the Song family first learned that he had fallen in love with a married woman, they were almost furious.
At that time, Song Xingzhi was already thirty years old, and his family kept urging him to get married, so he had no choice but to tell them about it.
Song Yanshan almost came directly to Zhongjia Village to bring Song Xingzhi back.
Later, Song Xingzhi repeatedly assured him that he would never break up other people's families. At that time, the Song family members were framed and got into trouble. Under Song Ci's arrangement, all the female relatives divorced and stayed in the capital with their children. At that time, no one could control Song Xingzhi, and the matter was finally dropped.
Later, the Song family returned to Beijing, and some remarried. However, not long after, Zhong Guosheng got into trouble.
When Song Xingzhi confessed his feelings to Zhang Chunxue for the first time, he was rejected. Heartbroken, he called Zheng Wenbi to cry, only to be ridiculed by his own mother, father, and older brother.
At that time, they
Everyone's mindset has changed, and they've become much more open-minded. They're more accepting of the fact that Song Xingzhi can't get married.
But who could have imagined that, more than six years later, Song Xingzhi would actually get married!
Seeing the two embracing, Zheng Wenbi couldn't help but touch the corner of her eye: "Sigh, the biggest thing on my mind is finally over!"
She pinched Song Yanshan's arm beside her: "I don't ask him to carry on the family line, I just hope he won't be lonely for the rest of his life..."
Song Yanshan winced in pain: "If you're feeling sentimental, fine, but why are you pinching me?"
Zheng Wenbi snorted twice: "I just want you to cry with me!"
Song Yashan's eyes immediately went black.
After the marriage certificate was issued, it was almost noon, so Song Xingzhi immediately started arranging for everyone to have lunch.
There is a custom of toasting here, and Song Yanshan and Song Xingyun, along with the newlywed couple, began to toast each table.
Song Xingzhi's face was flushed, it was unclear whether it was from the alcohol or from excitement.
After toasting at every table, Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue returned to their seats. He then spoke softly, "Sister Chunxue, it seems none of your three sons are here."
Zhang Chunxue, however, was unconvinced: "They probably wouldn't even dare to come!"
Song Xingzhi moved closer to Zhang Chunxue and asked, "Sister Chunxue, are you hungry? Why don't you go and eat something first?"
“I ate a lot for breakfast, I’m not hungry,” Zhang Chunxue said softly. “But you, you drank alcohol without eating, aren’t you feeling unwell?”
Song Xingzhi poured boiling water into her cup, but his own cup contained genuine liquor.
Song Xingzhi felt warm inside as he listened to Zhang Chunxue's care.
"I'm fine, I'm actually super excited right now..."
Zhang Chunxue was a little worried: "Is it really not because you're drunk?"
Song Xingzhi's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
It's hot.
Song Xingzhi immediately reached out and covered Zhang Chunxue's hand, letting her touch his face. He looked at Zhang Chunxue with bright eyes and said, "Sister Chunxue, even if I'm drunk, it's not because of the alcohol."
Zhang Chunxue's face couldn't help but blush.
There were quite a few people attending the wedding banquet. After the first round of guests finished eating, the second round started.
Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengren both came to the brigade headquarters, but neither of them showed themselves.
Zhong Chengren watched from afar as Song Xingzhi rode his bicycle with his mother to the brigade headquarters.
Seeing Zhang Chunxue's radiant smile, Zhong Chengren still felt a pang of unease.
His mother remarried, and they became a family again, so they were truly two separate families from now on.
Zhong Chengren was somewhat dazed again.
Actually, weren't they already two separate families when they separated?
He didn't realize it at the time because his mother was still his mother. Even after they separated their households, he could still see his mother when he went home.
But his mother remarried, so if he wanted to find her again, he could only go to someone else's house.
At that time, he was a guest...
Thinking this, Zhong Chengren felt even worse.
Zhong Chengfa and Li Hongjuan were also lingering outside the brigade headquarters.
Li Hongjuan kept urging Zhong Chengfa to go eat, but Zhong Chengfa refused.
Neither the second nor the third brother came, so what's the point of him going alone?
Li Hongjuan looked at the people who came to the wedding banquet. They either brought various gifts or gave money. There were several stacks of money on the table where the person who wrote the gift book was writing.
She was really envious.
Moreover, the wedding banquet featured all kinds of meat dishes. In addition to large meat dishes like braised pork knuckle, even the stewed radish contained a few pieces of meat bones, and the green vegetables also contained minced meat.
Watching the guests eat with their mouths glistening with oil, Li Hongjuan swallowed hard.
“We are Mom’s son and daughter-in-law, what’s wrong with going out for a meal?” Li Hongjuan was really anxious.
However, Zhong Chengfa just stood outside the brigade headquarters and refused to go in.
He shared the same idea as Zhong Chengren.
His mother got married, so they're really not family anymore.
Zhong Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten yet and was extremely busy.
There were too many customers, and it looked like they were about to start the third round of business, but they didn't have enough tofu. She decided to go to the tofu shop and ask them to send some more.
When she returned from the tofu shop, she saw Zhong Chengren standing blankly outside the brigade headquarters.
"Second Brother?" Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. "You're here? Why aren't you going to eat?"
"Me? Go eat?" Zhong Chengren felt uneasy. "My mother got married, so she's not family with us anymore... Do you think I can eat this?"
He looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, don't you feel the same way?"
