The news that He Jinshu and Shen Zhen were going to get married swept through the two villages like a strong wind.
Everyone in Shenjia Village was in high spirits; even the cows in the village mooed a few more times than usual.
The Shen family's yard was bustling with people today. No matter if they were men, aunts, husbands, or children, anyone who passed by the Shen family would come over to say congratulations.
Chen Zhen sat in the middle of the courtyard, beaming with joy the entire day. Whenever someone came to congratulate him, he would smile and reply, "Let's wait until we agree on a wedding date. Then, please come and have a drink."
Because he was too excited and only cared about chatting with others, he almost missed the opportunity to send He Jinshu back to the private school.
Fortunately, he was delayed today because of the arrangements for the subsequent marriage, and did not leave for the town until the beginning of the You hour.
Chen Chen finally caught up with He Jinshu, who had just set out. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him, and then said to him, "Luckily I arrived in time. Ah Shu, get in the car, I'll take you to town."
This time, He Jinshu didn't hesitate and got into the car directly.
After settling into the carriage, He Jinshu said to Chen Chen, "You don't have to pick me up from school anymore. I'll come back by myself. Also, you don't have to go to town to bring me food. That will disturb my studies."
Chen Zhen was unwilling to listen to this, so he said unhappily: "No, that won't work. Wouldn't that make us a long-distance relationship? You only take a day off once every two weeks, so wouldn't we only see each other once every two weeks? That won't work. I don't agree."
He Jinshu doesn't understand what he means by long-distance relationship. Isn't it normal for a scholar to not see his wife or husband for 10 days or half a month?
So he said coldly: "If you go to the private school every day, it will not only disturb my studies, but also affect the reputation of the private school."
"It's okay, Ah Shu. I plan to buy a house near your private school in a few days. Then you can come directly to the house to eat and sleep. I can also cook for you every day, and then we can see each other every day. What do you think of my idea? Isn't it great?" Chen Chen said to He Jinshu with a little pride.
"Whatever you want." He Jinshu leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and gave up struggling. He felt that he couldn't communicate with this man.
After arriving at the private school, Chen Chen carried He Jinshu off the carriage, then handed him a box and said to him, "Here are some snacks I made during my free time. Take them and eat them. I'll come and talk to you when I buy the house."
He Jinshu took the box, said nothing, and went to the private school without looking back.
After watching him enter the back door of the private school, Chen Zhen jumped into the carriage and drove home. It was getting late and it might be dark by the time he got home. There were no street lights here and it was inconvenient to walk in the dark, so he had to go back early.
When he reached the entrance of Shenjia Village, he saw Brother Shen standing there. Seeing Chen Zhen coming back, Brother Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After he got on the carriage, he said to Chen Chen with a look of dismay, "Don't send people off so late next time. You're just a kid, and you're coming back so late. What if you run into danger on the way?"
When Chen Zhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will be fine. If there is danger, I will be the one to beat others."
Although Brother Shen disagreed with what he heard, he didn't say anything in the end. Brother Zhen was a little obsessed with that young scholar.
The next day, Chen Zhen went to the town with Brother Shen. They were going to ask the brothel if there were any vacant houses for sale near the private school.
As Brother Shen drove towards the town, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart: Other people's brothers-in-law are worshipped by their younger brothers-in-law, but he is different. Not only does he help out, but others don't appreciate it and don't even say a good word to him. It's really unfair to him.
The houses in the alley near the private school are currently occupied and no one is planning to sell them, so Chen Chen had no choice but to turn his attention to houses closer to that street.
Finally, we found a small house for sale on the next street.
The owner of the house wanted to move to the county town to live with his son, so he wanted to sell the house.
However, they can't leave for the county town until a week later, so the house will not be delivered until a week later.
Chen Zhen saw that there was no other house around that was closer to the private school than this one, so he chose this one. Even if it was delivered a few days later, it would be fine. He could only wait a little longer.
After completing the relevant formalities, Chen Chen and Brother Shen returned home.
It was afternoon when they returned home. When Mother Shen saw them coming back, she said to Shen Zhen, "The wedding date has been set. There are three good days. Do you want to discuss it with that young scholar?"
One date is half a month later, one is two months later, and the other is five months later.
Mother Shen felt that two months was just the right time, not too early and not too late.
"No need to discuss it, we will get married in half a month." Chen Chen took the booklet from Shen's mother's hand and said after taking a look.
He felt that 15 days was too late, and he wished they could get married tomorrow.
After hearing this, Shen's mother had no choice but to let him do what he said. Anyway, she had enough time to prepare in half a month, and if she didn't have enough things, she could just buy them with money.
The next day, Chen Zhen took the food box to the town and told He Jinshu about buying a house and getting married.
"Ashu, how about we get married in half a month? I really want to get married with you sooner." Chen Chen looked at He Jinshu and said.
He Jinshu just said calmly: "I'm fine with it, just make your own arrangements."
"Then we will get married in half a month. You just need to study hard here. I will take care of everything. Remember to take a few more days off when the time comes. We still have to go back to visit our parents." Chen Chen carefully instructed He Jinshu.
He Jinshu nodded and said, "I understand."
After finishing his words, Chen Chen looked around to see if there was anyone around, then hugged He Jinshu and kissed him, then smiled and said to him, "Then you go back, I'm leaving too."
He Jinshu tried to dodge but failed. After hearing what Chen Chen said, he turned around with a bad look on his face and went back to the private school.
Chen Zhen looked at He Jinshu's angry expression and couldn't help but think in his heart: His Ah Shu is so cute.
When He Jinshu returned to the villa, everyone saw the familiar food box. Li Yu asked, "Brother He, have you reconciled with that guy again?"
He Jinshu hummed softly, then continued, "We will get married in half a month. If you are willing, you can come to the banquet then."
"So soon?" Li Yu asked in surprise. It had only been a short time and the wedding date had been set.
He Jinshu just nodded and sat down to eat.
Li Yu said, "Go. I happen to be on vacation at that time. I will definitely go then. Do you brothers want to go?"
He arrived at the private school the latest and was the youngest, so the people above him were all his seniors.
"Go ahead, but our family's financial situation is limited and we can't afford a big gift. Brother He, please don't despise it when the time comes." A student with a simple and honest appearance said with a smile.
He Jinshu shook his head and said, "No, just do whatever you want."
Finally, after some discussion, everyone decided not to go home during this month's vacation, and to go to John Hoffman's house to attend his wedding.
