When I got home, I saw the two of them staring at each other. I shook my head helplessly and sat down next to my wife.
He quietly coaxed his wife, having no intention of getting involved in their argument.
"Brother Zhang, Cai Peilin brought Lu Yue back today. I didn't expect him to be so quiet all the time. He said he'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow and we'll have two tables at the restaurant tomorrow night."
"Heh, you're just jealous that other people have wives!"
“I think so too. Last time we came back from abroad, I told her, and she acted like she didn’t care at all.”
People always change.
"Honey, I brought you some fun things."
"What?"
"Little Li!"
Zhang Shouyi took the box that Xiao Li brought and opened it. Inside lay a silver-white wind chime shaped like a magnolia flower.
“I saw this today and brought it back to you. They said it’s something from five hundred years ago.”
Five hundred years ago?
"Yes, from the museum."
"This isn't anything special, is it?"
"I didn't see it either. But they said the sound it makes when you blow on it while it's hanging up is very special."
"Is that so? Then hang it up in a bit and let's hear what's different. But this flower pattern, if the design were five hundred years ago, it would be considered very novel."
"Okay, let's hang it in our house."
Zhang Shouyi helped Zhang Hongmei up. The two people arguing opposite them also stopped.
"We'll go hang the wind chimes, you guys continue."
Both of them rolled their eyes; Zhang Shouyi was as annoying as ever.
Xiao Li did not receive permission and did not go in.
Zhang Shouyi stood on a bench and hung up the wind chimes.
"Honey, it looks ordinary, but when you actually pick it up, it feels quite heavy. I just don't know if a breeze can move it."
"If the wind can't move it, how can it be called a wind chime?"
After hanging it up, Zhang Hongmei was amazed. "Brother Zhang, this is especially beautiful, and the colors are perfectly matched."
"Yes, I'm glad you like it. I was worried you'd be too lonely by yourself."
"I'm used to it."
There's no wind at this time of day. It's just muggy. So the wind chimes aren't moving at all. But it's still quite pleasant to look at.
"The wisdom of the ancients is truly remarkable. The craftsmanship back then was so exquisite."
Zhang Shouyi helped Zhang Hongmei lean against the bed. They could see the wind chimes from there.
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
"Yes, I also feel too tired. Without the spiritual spring water, I don't think I could have persevered."
After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she gestured for Zhang Shouyi to help her up and poured two cups of water for her. One cup for each of them.
"Wife, I feel great right now."
"Of course, this is divine water, it has miraculous effects."
"Hehe, my wife is a fairy, of course she has divine water."
"A fairy? How did you even come up with that idea?"
"That's right. When I saw you discover a large amount of gold, I thought you were a fairy. But when I saw you making a foolish mistake, I wondered, how could there be such a stupid fairy?"
"You're the stupid one!"
"Yes, yes, I'm stupid, but I found a fairy wife."
"Glib-tongued."
Brother Zhang, you should still go to dinner tomorrow. After all, Cai Peilin and I have a good relationship. If I can't go, then you'll have to go.
"Well, I'll just show up briefly. I'm going home to have dinner with my wife."
The two were having a good time inside. The two elderly people in the living room, having lost their spectator interest, also lost interest in arguing.
Cai Peilin drove the two home.
"This is our home, and Cheng Guangxu's home is next door."
"His house is locked, so you're the only one on holiday?"
"No, his wife is pregnant and is staying at the old lady's house where she can be taken care of. When we have a child, I will ask Hongmei to help find an experienced elderly person to take care of you."
Lu Yue blushed and lowered her head after hearing Cai Peilin's words.
The two entered the house and found it exceptionally clean and tidy. They walked around every room and found that all the furniture was readily available.
Cai Peilin took his luggage out of the trunk. He opened it, took out a wooden box, and handed it to Lu Yue.
"This is what I picked out when I accompanied Cheng Guangxu to buy betrothal gifts for his wife before his wedding. It's a gift for my wife. Open it and see if you like it."
"You always carry it with you?"
"No, it's been sitting in my dorm room at the research institute. I brought it back this time to give it to you."
If anyone familiar with Cai Peilin were here, their jaw would drop. Is this really the Cai Peilin they know? It's unbelievable.
Lu Yue took it and opened it; it was a set of women's jade jewelry. Although she didn't know much about jade, it looked exceptionally delicate, and she could tell at a glance it was a high-quality piece.
"Yes, it's quite pretty."
"I'm glad you like it. I come from a poor family, so I don't have anything to pass down to you. This is just a token of my appreciation."
"I love so much."
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go home, it's too late and it's impolite."
The two arrived home just in time for dinner.
"You two are quite lucky with food. Dinner was just ready when you got back."
Cai Peilin didn't eat with Zhang Hongmei and the others; he decided to eat with his wife instead.
Zhang Hongmei didn't insist. However, with Zhou Shixiong accompanying him during the meal, Gu Chuanming unconsciously ate more.
"Grandpa, let's go for a walk outside after you finish eating."
“You’d better not go. I’m scared.” Zhou Shixiong immediately shook his head and refused.
Gu Chuanming also shook his head, "The three of us old folks will go for a walk outside. You can have Shouyi stay with us in the yard."
“Yes. I’ll go with you too,” the old lady said.
"Are you guys looking down on me?"
The four of them fell silent. There was no disgust, of course, but her belly was far too big for their imagination. Watching her walk, they were afraid it would fall off.
Zhang Shouyi stood up with a smile and helped his wife out of the yard. Zhang Hongmei ignored them. The young couple strolled around the yard whispering to each other, looking so sweet to outsiders.
When everyone except Zhou Shixiong returned.
The old lady instructed Cai Peilin, "You two should eat breakfast tomorrow and both say that it's best to be the first to get your marriage certificate in the morning."
"Yes, don't worry, we'll leave at six o'clock tomorrow, we definitely won't be late."
"Six o'clock is not early. Last time, Guangxu and Erya set off at five-thirty."
“Okay, Grandma, we’ll leave at 5:30 tomorrow too.”
Although Cai Peilin was not talkative, he was quite good at interpersonal relationships, so he was very grateful to the old man.
"Grandma, after we get our marriage certificate, do we still need to take photos?"
"Sure, go ahead and take lots of pictures to keep as memories. By the way, Aifen, could you check the storeroom to see if we have any candy left? They need to give out wedding candy to the staff tomorrow, right?"
