Just as Shi Tou was pleading, Er Ya came over. She didn't know about Liu Xu and the other two. She came in and glared at Shi Tou fiercely.
"Second sister, you've finally arrived! This is your sister-in-law, Liuxu."
Er Ya paused for a moment, then looked at the grinning Stone and roughly understood what was going on.
Not wanting to go too far in front of her sister-in-law, she glared at him again.
Do Mom and Dad know?
"Yes, Sister Hongmei called Mom and Dad. They're taking a bus home tomorrow, which will take about ten days. Shall we go back in a few days?"
"You're so carefree. You're fine here anyway. Hurry back and help your uncle and aunt with the preparations. We'll wait for Pengfei. Liuxu and I will take the three children and go over in a few days."
"Second sister, I need to get my marriage certificate on Monday. I'll go buy cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and candy tomorrow, and I'll go back on Monday."
Er Ya glared at him again, but she felt really at ease. Knowing it was willow catkins, she knew that Hong Mei had prepared this for Shi Tou long ago. She was really afraid that this brat would bring someone into the family who was just as unreliable as her sister-in-law.
Besides, Hongmei must have sent Liuxu to take care of Shitou, just like Su Chen and Erlengzi.
A little while later, Lu Yue arrived as well. She's currently in charge of the electronics factory and the home appliance factory, so this was just a side job. But no matter how busy she is, she has to do her best. She came to pick up her child today, but she'll still make time for it.
Zhang Hongmei finished a script and checked the time; it was time for them to come pick up the children.
He went straight to the living room after leaving the study and heard lively voices, knowing that everyone had arrived.
"It's so lively!"
"Sister Hongmei, we're going to write our marriage report." Shi Tou said, grabbing Liu Xu and running off; he simply couldn't take it anymore. He might really get a beating soon.
Liu Xu smiled, pursing her lips. She hadn't realized it before. Today, she finally witnessed just how much Shi Tou was favored.
The people in the living room laughed when they saw the stone run away.
"You're all welcome to stay for dinner today."
Everyone nodded. Next came gossip time; when women, especially close friends, get together, gossip is inevitable.
"Hongmei, I went to see that girl this afternoon. She's a shrewd and resourceful girl." Han Mei knew about this last night and went to see her today.
Wang Ying asked curiously, "Han Mei, what's the story with that girl?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that our rascal actually spent the whole night loading and unloading goods at the logistics company for that girl."
"He's gone too far, Hongmei. I'll take some stones to the logistics company tonight. There's never any free time there anyway, so I'll make him work there." Wang Ying gritted her teeth.
“Let him off this time and let him get married in a peaceful manner.” Zhang Hongmei also found it quite funny; Shi Tou had really angered everyone.
“Hongmei, I wonder when Cheng Guangxu will be back? I told Shitou to go back on Monday after we get our marriage certificate, and to help his uncle with the arrangements. He's a boy, and there are a lot of relatives we need to notify.”
Let's wait for Pengfei. It would be great if Cheng Guangxu could come back.
"Sister Er Ya, I asked them, and they probably won't be back for another week."
"That's great, Pengfei should be on vacation too. Let's go back together. What about you?"
"I'm not going this time, I just got back."
The children were a little excited when they learned that their mothers would definitely come to pick them up after class.
Shi Tou and Liu Xu went to the study and began writing their marriage report; time was still very tight.
"Liu Xu, I need to start preparing things tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll go study under Elder Sun too. I should also tell Elder Sun first."
"Okay, I'll come over on Monday morning. We'll go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday."
"Madam will be returning to the compound tomorrow. Just wait for me at home on Monday, and I'll drive to pick you up."
"Okay, but don't be late. They're always the first ones to arrive at their weddings."
"Okay, I'll be at your house at 5:30."
The two had discussed it and unknowingly fell into a sweet relationship.
Dinner was particularly lavish. Zhang Shouyi didn't come home for dinner today, which was fine, at least Wang Ying and the others wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
After dinner, Zhang Hongmei had Shi Tou drive away. There were still many things to do tomorrow. As for the marriage report, they would wait for Zhang Shouyi to return.
Before leaving, Shi Tou quietly told Liu Xu to come pick her up at five o'clock on Monday morning. Then he drove Liu Chongyu home; Liu Jingxiang was too busy with work, and Ma Li was heavily pregnant.
Zhang Hongmei watched their interaction and felt quite happy. At least they weren't completely devoid of feelings.
Now the house is finally quiet. Only Liu Qiang and his partner are left.
The two were sitting in the living room watching TV. "Auntie, is Second Uncle going to marry Sister Liuxu?"
"Yes, so what? Don't you like willow catkins?"
"No, I think Sister Liuxu is especially beautiful, how could she agree? It's unbelievable!"
Zhang Hongmei chuckled. This little adult... "Liu Qiang, why would you think that?"
"Because Sister Liuxu is very kind, and Second Uncle is a bit silly!"
"Hahahaha." Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter. This child is quite interesting.
When Zhang Shouyi returned, he saw his wife watching TV with Shi Tou. There weren't many TV programs available these days, but the two of them were quite focused.
"Uncle, you're back. I'm going to rest now. I'm going to have some extra lessons with my teachers tomorrow."
"Go on, go to bed early." Zhang Shouyi rubbed Shi Tou's head.
"Brother Zhang, this is the marriage certificate of Shi Tou and Liu Xu. What do you think of it?"
"No problem. I'll sign right away. Honey, you're not angry anymore, are you?" Zhang Shouyi asked with a smile.
Zhang Hongmei patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking."
The two had another passionate night, and they didn't even finish their cultivation in the latter half of the night because Zhang Shouyi kept bothering them.
The next morning, after breakfast, I drove straight back to the compound; I had to keep Zhou Shixiong company that day. The older I get, the more I fear being alone.
After lunch, the two strolled around the courtyard, taking advantage of the sunny weather outside. Zhang Hongmei pushed the cart.
"Uncle, how time flies! My youngest brother is getting married soon."
Before marriage, you're like a child; after marriage, you're like an adult.
"Hehe, yes. I'm over ninety years old too. I never thought I'd live to this age!" Zhou Shixiong exclaimed.
"You still have to work hard to live another twenty years, so you can see Zhenye and the other three get married and have children."
Zhou Shixiong smiled and shook his head. "I guess I really won't be able to see that. I'm already very content."
At least in my final moments, you and the children were with me.
I can't compare to your grandfather; he's over ninety and can still climb mountains.
