Meng Xunzhou came to the main courtyard and just squatted down to pick some peppers when he heard Fu Shuxian calling him from behind.
"Son, come here for a moment."
Meng Xunzhou put down the small basket in his hand, stood up and walked towards the Chuihua Gate.
Fu Shuxian and the others wanted to discuss something, so they simply went to the South Study.
After all, the main house was Zheng Peilan's bedroom, and Meng Guanru was also there. It was not convenient for them to discuss things in the main house, so Zheng Peilan simply led them to the South Study.
After entering the southern study, Meng Xunzhou glanced around the room.
Meng Guanru was drinking tea with his head down, and Fu Shuxian pulled his arm and walked in front of Zheng Peilan.
"Son, I have discussed your marriage with Shishi with your aunt Zheng. She still pays more attention to your and Shishi's opinions, so you come up with the idea. What should we do about the wedding?"
Meng Xunzhou's mouth curled slightly, "Shishi is shy, if we make too much noise, she will definitely be embarrassed.
...
...
But if it’s too cold, there won’t be a wedding atmosphere.
I always want to give her the best, so I thought of inviting friends who are familiar with us to come over to have fun. As for the venue and so on, it will be up to your elders' wishes.
I will decorate the wedding room."
Speaking of the wedding house, Zheng Peilan asked, "If you get married, where are you going to live?"
After all, Song Shishi had only bought this courtyard house not long ago, and she still had 10,000 yuan of rent to pay.
But if Song Shishi lived in the courtyard, she would have to live separately from Meng Xunzhou.
It is not good for a newly married couple to separate.
"Aunt Zheng, after we get married, it's better for Shishi to live with me in the family compound. The army has allocated housing."
Speaking of this, I thought that Zheng Peilan and Song Zhenhua have already divorced. If he marries Song Shishi, Zheng Peilan will be left alone.
So he continued: "But don't worry, as long as you miss Shishi, or Shishi wants to come back, you can come back and live here anytime."
Although Zheng Peilan might not necessarily let Song Shishi come back to accompany her, she felt very relieved that Meng Xunzhou said this.
"I feel relieved to have you by Shishi's side."
Because of her unhappy marriage, Zheng Peilan has always been afraid that Song Shishi would become like her.
But looking at Meng Xunzhou in front of her, she felt that her daughter's life must be better than hers.
"Aunt Zheng, Mom and Dad, Shishi is still waiting for me, so I won't stay here to chat with you."
Thinking that Song Shishi was still busy in the small kitchen alone, Meng Xunzhou couldn't stay any longer.
"Okay, okay, go ahead." Zheng Peilan smiled and waved at him.
Meng Xunzhou had just picked the peppers and stepped into the small kitchen when Song Shishi's voice came over.
"Xunzhou, why did it take you so long to pick peppers?"
Meng Xunzhou didn't want Song Shishi to worry about the preparations for the wedding. All she wanted was for Song Shishi to be pretty and wait to marry him.
"I was dazzled by these peppers. I chose them carefully, fearing they might not suit your taste."
Meng Xunzhou joked, stood up and walked towards her, handing the pepper to her.
Song Shishi took the pepper and hit him lightly, "You are so sweet."
After Meng Xunzhou returned to the small kitchen, he was not idle either, but helped out on the side.
Pass plates and cut side dishes.
Song Shishi's concentration on cooking made Meng Xunzhou fascinated.
He suddenly felt that the worldly atmosphere became particularly moving because of her.
"Xunzhou, try this dish and see how salty it is."
Song Shishi scooped a spoonful of soup and handed it to Meng Xunzhou's mouth.
Meng Xunzhou took a sip and nodded in praise: "Just right, Shishi, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
"It will make me happy."
Song Shishi said this, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.
Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou brought the dishes to the main courtyard, where Fu Shuxian, Meng Guanru and Zheng Peilan were already sitting there chatting.
Seeing the table full of dishes, Fu Shuxian praised them endlessly: "Shishi, thank you for your hard work. These dishes look appetizing."
"Aunt Fu, don't be polite, these are just some home-cooked dishes.
I have always wanted to invite you and Uncle Meng to visit my courtyard, and today is finally the chance for me to do so.
Knowing that you like spicy food, I specially made a few dishes. You and Uncle Meng can try them and see if they suit your taste."
Song Shishi said as she moved a few of Fu Shuxian's favorite dishes towards her.
Fu Shuxian and Meng Guanru had smiles on their faces, and the more they looked at their daughter-in-law, Song Shishi, the more satisfied they became.
…
Since the wedding date was set, Meng Xunzhou has been working non-stop to prepare for the wedding.
Song Shishi was not idle either, although most of the things were taken care of by the Meng family.
But the woman still needs to prepare the wedding invitations and her wedding dress.
Today she has to send a copy of the invitation to Xie Yushan as well.
Although Xie Yushan might not have time to attend, she still had to send him the wedding invitation out of courtesy.
But before she reached Xie Yushan's office, she saw a female colleague coming out of Xie Yushan's office with an anxious look on her face.
The female colleague ran into Song Shishi head-on. She was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Comrade Song, are you here to see Mr. Xie?"
Song Shishi just opened her mouth to answer when she heard her female colleague continue, "Mr. Xie is not in the office. He had a sudden illness this morning and has been sent to the hospital. I came back specially to help Mr. Xie get his things."
Sudden illness?
Song Shishi's heart skipped a beat and she took a deep breath.
Thinking back to when Xie Yushan had a sudden illness in Qinghe Town and almost died.
What about this time?
Thinking that Xie Yushan might be in danger of his life, Song Shishi couldn't stay any longer and turned around and left.
But after taking a few steps, she stopped again.
"By the way, can you tell me which hospital Mr. Xie is in now?"
The female colleague was also frightened by her reaction. When she heard her ask this, she told her the address of the hospital in a daze.
When I arrived at the hospital, people were coming and going and the smell of disinfectant was everywhere.
Song Shishi asked around and consulted several nurses and doctors, and finally saw Xie Youan at the door of the operating room.
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered at the door of the operating room, most of whom Song Shishi didn't know.
She ran over and came in front of Xie Youan.
Seeing Xie Youan's haggard face, Song Shishi hesitated and said, "Chief Xie, how is Mr. Xie now?"
Hearing Song Shishi's voice, Xie Youan's originally lifeless eyes gradually regained focus.
"Why are you here?"
Xie Youan's voice was a little hoarse and weak. It seemed that Mr. Xie had a relapse of illness and he was scared.
"I heard about Mr. Xie's situation from my colleagues this morning, so I rushed over here. What's Mr. Xie's condition now? Did the doctor say anything?"
Song Shishi said this, looking towards the door of the operating room with some concern.
The door of the operating room was still closed, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside, but the people outside were waiting anxiously.
Xie Youan shook his head, "Not yet, my dad fainted this morning, I...I still don't know what happened to him."
"Will it be the same as last time in Qinghe Town?"
"Qinghe Town?"
Xie Youan was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind.
