Chapter 185 The Big Gold Bracelet
When it was ten o'clock, a man looked at his watch and realized he could barely keep his eyes open.
"It's 10 o'clock, let's go!"
The rain outside subsided a bit, and the group at the table dispersed.
Although he hadn't slept for over twenty hours, Zhong Chengren was in a very excited mood.
When he got home, he saw that Meng Wanshu was already asleep.
He didn't even take a shower. He walked over and hugged Meng Wanshu, giving her a big kiss that woke her up.
As soon as Meng Wanshu opened her eyes, she smelled the strong smell of cigarettes on Zhong Chengren and immediately felt disgusted: "You stink! Go change your clothes and take a shower!"
"Don't go to bed without showering!"
She then started cursing again: "You weren't in a hurry all day, why are you back so early today?"
She had no idea that Zhong Chengren hadn't come back during the day at all; she just assumed that he had returned after she went to work, taken a nap, and then went back to playing cards before she got off work.
After all, this kind of thing has happened frequently in the past.
Zhong Chengren chuckled but didn't answer the question: "Wan Shu, take a day off tomorrow, let's go to the county town to buy a gold bracelet!"
He rubbed his hands together again: "How about we take another picture then, and then get our marriage certificate?"
Meng Wanshu was stunned: "Huh? Get a marriage certificate? Are you crazy...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Chengren pulled out a large sum of money: "What, worried that I don't have money? I have plenty of money now!"
He's won almost 500 in this period! That's 500!
Meng Wanshu was stunned when she saw the large wad of money: "You won so much?"
"How about that?" Zhong Chengren was even more smug. "Didn't you always say I was useless? If I were useless, how could I have made so much money?"
He stuffed the money back into his pocket and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll take you to the county town tomorrow!"
Meng Wanshu watched his retreating figure and then lay down again.
To be honest, she still had some hesitation about getting married.
But actually, she and Zhong Chengren are now living separately. Not only her colleagues, but even her parents have accepted that she and Zhong Chengren are already married.
It's really just going through the motions now, just getting a marriage certificate.
Meng Wanshu let out a breath.
Let's get the marriage certificate then! After all, the big gold bracelet is more important.
What if she disagrees and Zhong Chengren doesn't buy it for her?
When Zhong Chengren woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the sky had long since cleared up.
It rained heavily all day yesterday, and the ground was a bit muddy.
After having a late breakfast, Zhong Chengren borrowed a bicycle and took Meng Wanshu to the county town.
The torrential rain the day before had flooded the roads, and mud was everywhere. The bicycle wheels were covered in yellow mud after only a short while, and even more mud splattered onto Meng Wanshu's pants, which made her so angry that she punched Zhong Chengren.
The two had to stop every now and then to wipe the mud off the wheels, otherwise they wouldn't be able to turn.
It was already noon when the two arrived in the county.
Zhong Chengren waved his hand, and the two of them went to a state-run restaurant for a hearty meal, after which they began to stroll around the county.
Meng Wanshu's mind was filled with thoughts of the big gold bracelet, while Zhong Chengren was thinking about taking photos first.
So the two of them went to a photo studio and took a three-inch black and white photo.
The photographer told them to come back in five days to pick it up, so the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
Zhong Chengren was rich and generous, so he took Meng Wanshu on a shopping spree.
Autumn has arrived, and the supply and marketing cooperative has stocked some new clothes. Since they were planning to get their marriage certificate later, Zhong Chengren bought Meng Wanshu a long-sleeved jacket and a pair of leather shoes.
He thought he could earn the money back in a few days, and he really spent it like water.
Meng Wanshu was quite pleased with Zhong Chengren's tact. After buying clothes, shoes, and even some wedding candy, the two went on to buy gold bracelets.
Meng Wanshu picked and chose among the gold jewelry at the counter, and finally selected a gold bracelet that cost 258 yuan.
She knew the price was a bit high, so after making her selection, she looked at Zhong Chengren with loving eyes.
"Chengren, I like this... What do you think? Is it good?"
"It's good, but it's a bit expensive..." Zhong Chengren clicked his tongue. "Two hundred and fifty-eight... Couldn't you have looked at something cheaper?"
Meng Wanshu's voice dipped slightly, but then softened again: "But I just like this... Aren't we getting married? I don't want any other dowry, I just want this..."
Since Meng Wanshu had already said so, what could Zhong Chengren say? He could only scratch his head and say, "This one's fine! I'll earn more in a few days!"
Meng Wanshu immediately broke into a big smile: "I knew you were the best!"
Although Zhong Chengren inevitably felt a pang of regret, he was still somewhat excited at the thought of marrying Meng Wanshu soon.
Even though the two had been living together for a long time, Zhong Chengren still valued the sense of ritual.
Once she had bought the gold bracelet, Meng Wanshu immediately put it on her wrist, looking at it over and over, feeling extremely happy.
I love it, I love it so much.
Look at this heavy gold color, this substantial weight...
If there weren't so many people around, Meng Wanshu would have loved to kiss Zhong Chengren on the cheek.
Zhang Chunxue arrived at the crossroads outside the supply and marketing cooperative at this time.
Because of the heavy rain yesterday, she didn't come out to set up her stall, so when she arrived today, many people gathered around her.
"Oh! Auntie, you've finally come!" The young man who was the first to try the crab a few days ago was overjoyed to see Zhang Chunxue, almost bursting into tears. "Why didn't you come yesterday!"
"Wasn't it pouring rain yesterday? I couldn't have come!" Zhang Chunxue said with a smile, quickly setting up her stall.
"Give me a bowl of braised pork offal first!" The young man patted his belly. "I've been wandering around this neighborhood all day, just waiting for you to come so I could be the first to eat!"
“Okay!” Zhang Chunxue quickly served him a bowl.
The other guests also rushed forward.
"Give me a pig's tail!"
"Give me half a pound of vegetables! A little of everything!"
"I want a bowl of braised pork offal too!"
"Are you coming tomorrow, ma'am? If you're not coming tomorrow, I'll buy a little more today..."
Just then, Zhong Chengren and Meng Wanshu came out of the supply and marketing cooperative and were curious to see so many people gathered there.
"What are they selling here?" Zhong Chengren asked, stopping someone in his tracks.
"Selling braised food!"
Zhong Chengren immediately became interested: "Oh! Wan Shu, you like braised food, I'll go buy you some!"
