Chapter 7: The abandoned woman of the 1980s remarries
After getting the confirmation, Wang Fengxian and the other two were overjoyed.
Mrs. Zhang is even more exaggerated.
She just heard it at the door, and the wash basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she stuttered.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, is coming? That noodle soup definitely won't work. I need to go buy some more vegetables."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran out the door without waiting for Rong Zhen to stop him.
Wang Fengxian urged her eldest son to hurry up and said, "Remember to check if there are any chickens, ducks, fish or meat for sale. Buy some extra to entertain the guests."
Zhang's father took out some money and gave him some bills, telling him not to forget to buy some rice wine.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Fengxian would definitely not allow him to drink.
But now, my future son-in-law is about to come, and it would be nice to have a few drinks at the dinner table.
Brother Zhang nodded in agreement, took the money with a smile on his face, and quickly chased after his wife.
Rong Zhen couldn't stop him and said helplessly: "He came over after dinner."
Wang Fengxian decided to postpone the dinner time.
You won’t starve to death if you delay a little, but it is very important to have a regular guest come to your house.
Zhang's father agreed very much.
Rong Zhen's protest was in vain, and she was ordered by Wang Fengxian to clean the house. After that, she was asked to go back and change into nice clothes and tidy herself up.
"We want one too, we want one too!" Chanchan and Juanjuan joined in the fun. They not only wanted to change into flowery dresses, but also wanted to have new braids.
Everyone loves beauty, even children of a few years old are no exception.
Rongzhen first satisfied the two little ones, and only after they were satisfied did she begin to transform herself.
There was a light-colored floral dress in the original owner's closet. It looked very new. I don't know when it was made, and it might have never been worn.
She found it and put it on, then used a handkerchief of the same color to comb her hair into a lazy centipede braid, drew her eyebrows, painted her eyes, and applied a variety of colorful makeup, and she was basically done.
When the mother and her two daughters packed up and went out, the neighbors who were still eating in the yard looked over again without any prior arrangement.
Her sister-in-law, with whom she had previously traded garlic, looked at her and asked curiously, "Oh, I rarely see you dressed like this. What's going on?"
Rongzhen thought the news would be hard to keep secret after tonight, so she revealed it in advance: "My boyfriend is coming to visit later, and my mom insisted that we come back and get dressed."
"What, you have a boyfriend?" Not only was my sister-in-law very surprised, but everyone else in the backyard was also confused when they heard it.
Comrade Zhang Yuzhen actually has a partner, how come they don’t know?
What about the rumors about her and Qin Gong...
Without waiting for everyone to speculate further, Rongzhen waved goodbye to her neighbor's sister-in-law, took her two daughters and left quickly, leaving everyone in the yard whispering.
"Who is her boyfriend? When did it happen?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard the news. This is too sudden!"
"Could it be Engineer Qin? That's impossible. How about we wait for someone to come and take a look at the front?"
At the end of the heated discussion, a few curious people actually planned to go to the front yard to see what was going on.
Just as Rong Zhen and the other two were leaving and coming back, Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang also came back from buying groceries.
Because I went there at the right time, I not only bought chicken and fish, but also got a pound of pork belly, which I could use to make Zhang's father's specialty.
Yes, Mr. Zhang can cook, and his specialty is Dongpo pork, which is delicious and fragrant.
Wang Fengxian was best at making braised fish, so she took the fish and went to clean it up.
Mrs. Zhang chose to cook the remaining chicken and prepared a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Brother Zhang rolled up his sleeves to help them, picking onions and peeling garlic with skillful movements.
Rongzhen wanted to help but couldn't get in. She was assigned to look after the children and go out to find her nephew who was still having fun outside.
Maomao has a keen nose and can go home by smelling the food without anyone having to look for him. When he sees that a big meal is being prepared at home, he dances with joy.
His family members were infected by his joy and couldn't help but smile with pleasure. The laughter and the aroma of meat drifted far away and were heard by the backyard neighbors who ran to the front yard to inquire about the news. They confirmed that what Rongzhen had said before about her boyfriend coming to her house was indeed true.
In fact, the people in the front yard were also surprised, astonished and puzzled when they saw the Zhang family suddenly cook a feast of fish and meat for dinner without any festival. The people in the back yard met with them and whispered about this and that. In less than a moment, almost everyone in the family compound knew the truth.
It’s just not clear who Rongzhen is talking about.
Some people who were on good terms with Wang Fengxian came over and asked her in a roundabout way, but Wang Fengxian kept it a secret and didn't tell them anything.
"Tsk, don't tell me you're not as good as Mr. Qin, so you're just looking for some shabby guy to fill in the gaps and fool everyone, right?"
There are always people who make sarcastic remarks everywhere, and some even want to see the Zhang family make a fool of themselves. After all, all the members of the family except the children have jobs, and they live in a comfortable and spacious house. Many people are jealous of this in private.
Wang Fengxian simply rolled her eyes and ignored them. There was no point in arguing with them about such things.
Facts speak louder than words. When Comrade Xiao Qin comes to visit, they will be so envious.
With such a bad taste in mind, Wang Fengxian concentrated on preparing the food by the stove, and even Mrs. Zhang, who was usually responsible for breakfast and dinner, had to step back.
Seeing that she didn't respond, everyone gradually lost interest and dispersed to do what they were doing. Only a few stayed and paid attention to what was happening at the Zhang family.
As the aroma of meat wafting through the yard grew stronger, night slowly fell. The moon and stars twinkled in the distant sky, casting their bright light on the world.
At this moment, Qin Fengnian appeared in the watery moonlight, surprising everyone who came out to enjoy the cool air and chat after dinner at night.
Looking at the large and small bags in his hands, especially their appearance at this time, everyone guessed something in their minds, but they couldn't believe it for a moment.
The brave ones stepped forward cautiously to test the waters: "What's this, Mr. Qin?"
Before Qin Fengnian could answer, Brother Zhang, who had come out to check after hearing the noise, stepped out from the crowd and said enthusiastically, "Comrade Qin is here! Come in, come in! Dinner is just ready and we've been waiting for you."
"Then I'll go in. We'll talk later." Qin Fengnian nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked into the Zhang family with Brother Zhang, chatting and laughing.
After the two figures disappeared, everyone looked at each other and realized what was happening, and then there was a buzzing sound.
Oh my goodness, could it be that the Zhang family's future son-in-law is Qin Gong?
This, this, this is impossible?!
Not to mention how the neighbors were talking in disbelief, Wang Fengxian and the others were extremely excited when they saw Qin Fengnian actually coming to their house.
Qin Fengnian presented the specially prepared gift for the visit and exchanged greetings with Zhang's father Wang Fengxian. When he looked up, the first thing he saw was Rong Zhen, who was dressed beautifully and had a pretty face. When they looked into each other's eyes, there was a deep affection in their eyes.
Rongzhen tucked the hair by her ears and smiled slightly. Her cheeks, which were shyly turned to the side, were plump and flushed, as if they were stained with the brightest rouge.
Qin Fengnian's heart beat faster as he watched, as if he was holding a lively little deer in his arms.
Wang Fengxian and his wife saw the instantaneous interaction between the two and couldn't help but nod secretly, becoming even more satisfied with the marriage.
One party wanted to propose marriage, and the other party was willing to oblige. The conversation between the two parties went very smoothly, and the matter was settled while chatting and laughing.
Qin Fengnian took the opportunity to offer a betrothal gift of 800 yuan, trying to set the wedding date on the nearest auspicious day.
Seeing his sincerity, Wang Fengxian naturally reciprocated the favor. She took out her calendar and looked through options for auspicious dates with Zhang's father, and discovered that the best day to get married this year was just a few days away.
After a few days, it was too hasty, and Wang Fengxian and Zhang's father couldn't help but hesitate.
However, this was exactly what Qin Fengnian wanted.
He had already made up his mind to marry her as soon as possible. Now that he had such a legitimate reason, he would be foolish not to seize the opportunity.
Qin Fengnian tried his best to persuade them, even using his two nephews to play the victim, and finally convinced his future parents-in-law to agree to let them get married in a few days.
Rongzhen had no objection to this. She had already agreed to marry him, so what difference did it make if it was earlier or later? Marrying him earlier would be a precautionary measure in case he won the prize.
Although she thought it was impossible to hit the target in one go, her concerns were not unfounded.
The wedding date has been set, and the next step is to discuss the wedding arrangements.
In Wang Fengxian's opinion, this is her daughter's second marriage. As long as Qin Fengnian is sincere enough and treats her well in the future, it doesn't matter if they don't hold a wedding. There is no need to spend too much money.
Qin Fengnian disagreed. "This is my first marriage, so let's just treat it as a first marriage. Don't worry about the money."
In fact, I didn’t want to let Rongzhen down and wanted to give her a legitimate wedding.
In fact, Rong Zhen didn’t care about these things. What was more important was to live a good life in the future. However, since Qin Fengnian had such intentions, she couldn’t refuse him in disappointment.
Besides, he was right. It was indeed his first marriage, and it would be too unfair not to have a wedding.
Finally, Zhang's father made the final decision, "Let's do it. Set up a few tables in the factory cafeteria. We'll pay half of the cost, and give the entire gift to Yuzhen as her dowry."
Eight hundred yuan was handed to Rongzhen on the spot. Wang Fengxian and Zhang's father did not keep a penny, and they would give her some dowry later.
Seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law had no objections, Rongzhen accepted it.
Qin Fengnian insisted that he would be responsible for the money and invoices for the banquet, and would also prepare the three turns and one ring and various furniture. Zhang's father and others didn't have to worry about it anymore, and just asked them to help with the management.
After all, there is really no one on his side who can help him.
Zhang's father couldn't persuade him and finally agreed with a smile.
The meal ended harmoniously and naturally, the matter was settled, and the night outside fell completely dark.
Qin Fengnian said goodbye at the right time, stood up with a faint smell of alcohol, and staggered slightly.
Brother Zhang teased him, "Brother-in-law, you can't drink much. You need to find a few more people to hold back the drinking at the wedding, otherwise you might not even be able to enter the bridal chamber..."
Wang Fengxian and Mrs. Zhang coughed together to stop his nonsense.
This guy only drinks one glass of wine at a time, and he still has the nerve to criticize others.
Father Zhang was very happy tonight and was also drunk. He laughed and asked Rongzhen to see Qin Fengnian off.
It is impossible to keep the guests. Firstly, there is no such rule. Even if they like the guest very much, they cannot push him too much. Secondly, the house is really too full and they cannot let him live in the backyard.
Qin Fengnian looked at Rong Zhen with sparkling eyes. His deep facial features looked even more handsome and charming under the light. He looked tall and straight in his Zhongshan-style suit.
Rongzhen was seduced by his beauty and followed him out unconsciously.
As for the two little ones who had planned to test their father in the morning, they had already eaten and drunk their fill and were already asleep. The test would have to come later.
The two of them walked out of the door one after the other, with Zhang's father and others reluctantly seeing them off. After they went out, they suddenly met more than a dozen pairs of bright eyes in the yard that were like big light bulbs, and they almost got goosebumps.
Wang Fengxian raised her eyebrows proudly and asked deliberately, "Hey, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Everyone laughed, they just wanted to confirm and see what was going on.
Mr. Zhang bowed modestly and formally introduced their future son-in-law, Comrade Qin Fengnian, to everyone.
The neighbors' guesses were confirmed, and they were almost envious and jealous.
Just ask him what virtue and ability the Zhang family has!
