Chapter 102 Where to live after marriage?
Thinking this way, Song Yanshen's feelings of inferiority, timidity, and incompatibility lessened considerably.
The mother adopted him not just because she felt sorry for him, but because she was a very good person.
After asking the doctor about Song Yanshen's condition, Song Xingzhi returned to the ward and told Zhang Chunxue about it before preparing to return to the brigade headquarters.
After all, he had just been promoted to director and had a lot of work to do.
Zhang Chunxue asked Zhong Xiaoxiao to stay with Song Yanshen, while she took Song Xingzhi out of the hospital.
Song Xingzhi quickly returned to the brigade headquarters.
He was thinking of going to see Zhong Aiguo around noon today to discuss proposing marriage.
However, before noon, Zhong Aiguo came to find him first.
“Secretary Song… no, I should call you Director Song now,” Zhong Aiguo coughed lightly, “Congratulations on your promotion.”
Song Xingzhi simply smiled gently: "Brother Aiguo, you can call me whatever you want, Xiao Song or Xingzhi, it's all fine."
Zhong Aiguo waved his hand: "That's impossible."
He coughed lightly: "Director Song, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Song Xingzhi swallowed the words that were about to come out: "Brother Aiguo, what's the matter?"
Zhong Aiguo licked his lips: "Tell me honestly..."
He swallowed hard: "What's the deal with you and Chunxue? Are you two really together, or have you slept together?"
After he finished speaking, he looked nervously at Song Xingzhi.
He hoped in his heart that this was not true, and also felt that Song Xingzhi was already in his late thirties or early forties, so it would be a good thing if he could really find someone who cared about him.
After all, you can't really stay single your whole life.
Song Xingzhi paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "Brother Aiguo, the truth is just as you think."
"I do like Chunxue-jie."
He smiled and said, "To be honest, I've even been thinking of asking you to propose to Sister Chunxue."
Zhong Aiguo couldn't help but close his eyes.
Sigh, Zhang Chunxue still got her way!
Zhong Aiguo didn't ask him what he saw in Zhang Chunxue, which was inappropriate for him at the time; instead, his expression became serious.
"If you call me Brother Patriot, then I'll presume to call you Xingzhi."
"Since you like Chunxue, you must be thinking about marrying her... Have you thought about where you'll live after you get married?"
Song Xingzhi was taken aback: "Where do you live?"
Zhong Aiguo nodded: "That's right! You're currently living in the dormitory arranged for you by the brigade headquarters... You have a single room, which is fine as long as you're alone, but do you really want Chunxue to live in your dormitory together after you get married?"
"Or are you planning to live at Haruyuki's house after you get married?"
His expression was somewhat intriguing: "In the end, Chunxue's house was built by her and Guosheng together back then. You two are getting married, and you're living in that house. I won't talk about others, but do you think Liu Cuie and the others can tolerate such a thing happening?"
"Who knows what kind of trouble will arise then!"
Zhong Aiguo's brows immediately furrowed.
To be honest, if Zhong Aiguo hadn't told him these things, he really wouldn't have thought of this side of the story.
He was so focused on finally having a chance to win the heart of the beauty that he completely forgot to consider these practical issues.
He couldn't help but look at Zhong Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, what do you think I should do?"
Zhong Aiguo: "..."
It seems this kid really hadn't considered this possibility at all.
"How about we get a plot of land near Chunxue's house, you build a house there, and then get married in the new house?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xingzhi immediately frowned: "They've only just approved the land for the house, and now they're building it? When will it be finished?"
Zhong Aiguo retorted irritably, "Who told you not to make plans earlier!"
Song Xingzhi paused for a moment before chuckling softly, a hint of smugness in his voice: "Because I never even considered that Sister Chunxue could actually accept me."
He knew that Zhong Aiguo genuinely cared about him, so he told him the truth.
“Actually, I brought this up with Sister Chunxue more than half a year after Brother Guosheng passed away... but she didn’t agree at that time.”
Zhong Aiguo was stunned when he heard this: "What? You had this idea five years ago?"
Song Xingzhi chuckled: "Actually, when I first came to Guojia Village, I almost fell into Chunxue's arms because I wasn't sitting properly on the oxcart."
Zhong Aiguo gasped in shock: "What did you say? You were only a teenager back then!"
“Yes! But what can you do if you like someone?” Song Xingzhi said matter-of-factly. “Back then, Sister Chunxue was already married, and Zhong Chengfa had already been born…”
"I thought there was no chance for me and Chunxue in this lifetime, so I never even thought about it."
"But who knew that Brother Guosheng would suddenly pass away six years ago..."
"But after Chunxue rejected me that time, I thought that was the end of it. I didn't expect that after so many years, Chunxue has finally let it go."
He gave Zhong Aiguo a bright smile: "I guess I've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
Zhong Aiguo's feelings were incredibly complicated.
Song Xingzhi had already said all that. This person had been so devoted to Zhang Chunxue for almost twenty years and had never given up. What could he do?
Upon further reflection, he realized that Zhang Chunxue was truly the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area when she was young, and countless young men were captivated by her. It was perfectly normal for Song Xingzhi to like her.
It's just that none of those people were as loyal as him.
Thinking of this, Zhong Aiguo couldn't help but sigh: "Then you can indeed be considered to have gotten what you wanted..."
"But this means you'll have to think even more carefully about what will happen after you get married."
Song Xingzhi thought for a moment: "How about I rent a house in town first, and then build another one in the village?"
Zhong Aiguo could tell at a glance that he was eager to get married.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. They've been waiting for almost twenty years, and now that Zhang Chunxue has finally agreed, how could he not be anxious?
“That’s one way,” Zhong Aiguo said, stroking his chin. “But you still need to discuss this with Chunxue and see what she says.”
He couldn't help but ask again, "So, what do your family members think about your relationship with Chunxue?"
After all, he knew that Song Xingzhi's family background was not simple.
This man married a woman who had lost her husband, and who had three sons and a daughter who were all grandmothers. None of his family members agreed.
Song Xingzhi was indeed very nonchalant: "I had already told them the reason when I decided to stay here and not return to the capital... and they said they respected my decision."
Zhong Aiguo was speechless.
Song Xingzhi spoke of it casually, but how could his family possibly say they didn't care at all about such a thing?
