After dealing with the Ji family, Ji Chenzhou started looking for someone to prepare the thirty-six legs and other betrothal gifts.
After the old house was renovated and all the other things were put in, Ji Chenzhou found a matchmaker to propose marriage.
This process took about a week, which made Ji Chenzhou extremely anxious, but he still had to wait slowly for everything to be completed.
Now that everything was ready, Ji Chenzhou couldn't wait to take the matchmaker to where He Xianqiu lived.
On the other hand, He Xianqiu had asked Zhang Zhijuan from the educated youth point to act as her in-laws and wait for Ji Chenzhou and the matchmaker to arrive.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou brought the matchmaker to the door.
After that, the betrothal gifts were presented, and after a conversation, the wedding date was set, which was the day after tomorrow, a good day.
Afterwards, Ji Chenzhou took the matchmaker back home. The matchmaker was very happy when she left, and she couldn't stop smiling, because Ji Chenzhou gave her a very high gift.
Afterwards, everyone in the Qinggang Brigade knew that He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were going to get married the day after tomorrow.
Moreover, everyone in the team knew that Ji Chenzhou offered a very high betrothal gift, a full two hundred yuan, as well as a bicycle and other things.
Anyway, the total amount of these things is not a small number, which surprised the people of Qinggang Brigade.
Some people felt sorry for her and wondered why she didn't notice Ji Chenzhou. If she had noticed him before, the betrothal gift for her daughter or niece would have been so high.
When Ji's family heard that Ji Chenzhou gave He Xianqiu such a high betrothal gift, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
But he didn't dare to do anything to sabotage it. After all, Ji Chenzhou is different now. He is ruthless enough to cut off the relationship and is not afraid of his reputation.
Afterwards, on the wedding day, everyone in the team would spontaneously help with cooking and cleaning.
He Xianqiu sat in the room while an old lady kneaded noodles for her. Although she felt a little pain, fortunately she could still bear it.
After a while, the old lady wanted to put makeup on He Xianqiu, but He Xianqiu refused and decided to do it herself.
Although the old lady doubted whether He Xianqiu could do it, her attitude was firm, and the old lady was relieved, so she let He Xianqiu do it himself.
The others were a little worried that He Xianqiu's painting was not good, but they didn't say anything.
He Xianqiu has her own cosmetics. After applying some facial cream, she started to put on makeup.
Everyone looked at her putting on makeup and was a little confused, but after a while, everyone exclaimed and looked at He Xianqiu with wide eyes.
The painting was really beautiful, making He Xianqiu look more charming and attractive with her beautiful eyes, which added the finishing touch to her already bright and beautiful face.
"Oh my god, He Zhiqing, how did you draw it? Why is it so beautiful?"
"The eyebrows are really beautiful, and the lips look so moist."
Several unmarried girls exclaimed and then looked straight at He Xianqiu.
Even some women in the house felt itchy when they saw her beautiful face.
He Xianqiu saw that everyone was looking at her. She smiled and told them how to draw, but it was too difficult and everyone was a little disappointed.
He Xianqiu looked at the disappointed eyes of the crowd and said, "If I have time someday, you can find me if you want to put on makeup."
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed excitedly.
"Okay, then I'll have to ask He Zhiqing to draw for me next time."
"Then thank you, He Zhiqing. If I go on a blind date, I'll ask you to help me with my makeup."
He Xianqiu nodded one by one. This was not a difficult thing, so he agreed.
Not long after that, Ji Chenzhou passed the difficult task assigned by the educated youth team and came to take her to the old house.
He Xianqiu walked out of the room and looked at Ji Chenzhou, who was wearing a white shirt and black pants, looking particularly elegant today, and she smiled.
Then Ji Chenzhou bent down to carry her on his back, and He Xianqiu put her arms around his neck.
After making sure that He Xianqiu was holding on to him tightly, Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu on his back.
After that, everyone started laughing and making a noise, and it was very lively outside the yard.
He Xianqiu looked at the cheers of the crowd and her face turned red. Then she leaned her face on Ji Chenzhou's back.
After Ji Chenzhou put her on the back seat of the bicycle, he rode the bicycle with He Xianqiu to the old house.
The others followed the bicycle and then followed Ji Chenzhou to the old house in a lively manner.
Afterwards, the two of them followed the captain to read the wedding quotations together.
"We voluntarily marry each other. From today on, we will jointly shoulder the responsibilities and obligations that marriage bestows upon us: to be filial to our parents, to educate our children, to respect and love each other, to trust and encourage each other, to understand and accommodate each other, to support each other, and to love each other for the rest of our lives!"①
Both spoke in firm tones, then looked at each other as they read.
Afterwards, the captain said the ceremony was over and everyone immediately applauded to celebrate.
Amid the lively applause, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou looked at each other and smiled similarly.
After that, everyone started to eat, and He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou toasted the team leader and other cadres.
However, in order to prevent He Xianqiu from drinking, Ji Chenzhou used boiled water to pretend to be white wine.
At this moment everyone was very happy and satisfied with the meal, because the banquet had plenty of meat and vegetables. They were not the kind of thin slices that were not enough to fill the gaps between teeth, but were very thick and tasted delicious.
After everyone finished eating, many people came to clean up the table spontaneously. They had a good meal today, so they were energetic when working.
At this time, He Xianqiu had already rested in the room, and Ji Chenzhou took out some candy and gave it to the aunts who were working before entering the room.
Each of the working aunts got a handful of candy. They were smiling from ear to ear and wanted to take the candy back home to sweeten their grandchildren.
The room was filled with red wedding characters, and even the quilt and pillows were red, which looked very festive.
Bright red fabric is rare in the market, and Ji Chenzhou spent a long time searching for it.
He Xianqiu had fallen asleep, but she opened her eyes when she heard the noise. Looking at Ji Chenzhou who was staring at her, she smiled, but lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ji Chenzhou.
Ji Chenzhou was also very shy at this time, but he felt more joy and happiness.
On this day, he and his beloved got married and would spend the rest of their lives holding hands.
Thinking of this, Ji Chenzhou's expression softened. He blew out the candles, then silently held He Xianqiu's face and kissed him.
Everything just happened naturally and smoothly, and the house became lively and vibrant.
the next day.
He Xianqiu opened his eyes and didn't see Ji Chenzhou. He was a little confused as to why he got up so early. Wasn't he tired?
She propped herself up and leaned against the bed. Thinking of what happened last night, her face couldn't help but turn red, but she felt more sore in her body.
After a while, the door was opened. He Xianqiu looked towards the door and saw Ji Chenzhou holding a bowl of porridge.
When the other person saw her, he smiled and said gently, "Qiuqiu, get up and eat."
He Xianqiu nodded, and thinking of the pain in her body, she glared at Ji Chenzhou.
Ji Chenzhou noticed her gaze and felt a little guilty. He was too excited last night and made her restless all night.
Thinking of this, Ji Chenzhou's ears turned red, and then he asked in a gentle voice.
"Qiuqiu, are you feeling better? Eat quickly, or your stomach will feel sick."
He Xianqiu snorted, and then Ji Chenzhou was tactful enough to come over and get some toiletries for He Xianqiu.
After He Xianqiu washed up in bed, she started to eat breakfast. Ji Chenzhou sat beside the bed, holding a bowl of porridge and looking at her tenderly.
He Xianqiu thought that it would be convenient to read or eat in bed if he had a small desk, so he casually said something to Ji Chenzhou.
"Zhou Zhou, if there is a small table that can be placed on the bed, it will be much more convenient to read or eat..."
Then she lowered her head and continued to eat porridge. Ji Chenzhou nodded, thinking about the style of the table in his mind.
After He Xianqiu finished eating, he lay on the bed for a while. When he felt the discomfort in his body was relieved, he got up from the bed.
Because she was getting married, she had three days off, so after she had packed up, she went to sit in the yard.
There are two lounge chairs in the yard, made by Ji Chenzhou. His carpentry skills have become more and more sophisticated. He can make what He Xianqiu described, and sometimes he can apply what he has learned to other situations.
He Xianqiu was feeling very comfortable at this moment. He was lying on a chair, basking in the sun, reading a book, and feeling extremely lazy.
After Ji Chenzhou came out from washing the dishes, he sat on another recliner and picked up a book to read.
But he was not lying quietly. He held a book in one hand and held He Xianqiu's hand with the other.
He Xianqiu was holding a book, and her other hand was being held, so it was inconvenient for her to turn the pages, she said helplessly.
"Zhou Zhou, it's not convenient to read like this..."
Ji Chenzhou could only let go of his hand helplessly, but he still felt regretful.
But with He Xianqiu beside him, he felt very satisfied at this moment.
The two of them were lying on lounge chairs in the yard, each holding a book in their hands, feeling the breeze and the warmth of the sun. The years were quiet and leisurely.
However, Ji Chenzhou thought of something and pulled He Xianqiu into the room.
He Xianqiu was led by him and followed him into the house with a confused look on his face.
After a while, he took out two boxes from somewhere, and then held them in both hands and handed them to He Xianqiu.
"Qiuqiu, this is the money I made from the farm, and the other box is what my grandparents left me. I give it all to you."
He Xianqiu looked at his serious face, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and then she took it.
The two sat on the bed together, and then lowered their heads to count the money together.
After a while, He Xianqiu looked up and asked, "What about my two thousand eight hundred and eighty?"
Ji Chenzhou had counted the money by now, and he said, "This is 3,456 yuan."
He Xianqiu's eyes widened. That added up to 6,336 yuan, plus the money she had saved, it would be more than 10,000 yuan.
I didn’t expect that they would become millionaires. Thinking of this, He Xianqiu’s mouth curled up.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu opened another box and looked at the shiny little yellow strips. She was stunned. How could there be so many?
Perhaps he could see He Xianqiu's confusion, so he explained, "My grandfather used to be a steward in a landlord's house. When the landlord's house was raided, he took these out during the chaos. He gave some gold rings and other things to other families. These are what he left for me."
Before, people in the Ji family had doubted the things that his grandparents left for him, after all, they loved him so much.
Perhaps considering this, Grandpa Ji also took out a few gold rings and gave them to Ji Chenzhou, asking him to keep them.
Ji Chenzhou was young at that time. He knew that his grandfather had left him other things and where they were, but he never dug them out. He just took a few of Grandpa Ji's gold rings and hid them for emergency use.
After that, he moved back to the Ji family. Fearing that someone might notice him, he let the outside of the old house become abandoned.
When He Xianqiu heard what Ji Chenzhou said, she nodded and thought to herself that Grandpa Ji was smart and wise. He had considered a way out for Ji Chenzhou and left most of his things to him. He really loved him.
However, at this time, the small gold bar could not be taken out, so the two buried it back.
As for the money, He Xianqiu planned to keep a few hundred yuan for pocket money, and deposit the rest in the bank, which was also safe.
However, thinking that the money was in his hands, He Xianqiu started teasing Ji Chenzhou.
"Now the money is in my hands. If I don't give you pocket money, won't you have no money to spend?"
