Chapter 147 Chapter 147 We’re Getting Married! (Part 2)…
Su Tianli and Mao Li turned around at the same time:
I saw Zhang Wei standing on the steps, looking in the direction of Su Tianli and Mao Li.
Yao Meiyu stood at the doorway with her back to Su Tianli and Mao Li, jumping and shouting at the room, "...Cheng Yu! I convinced Lizhi not to hold the wedding at the state-owned restaurant! How are you going to thank me?"
Then Cheng Yu rushed out of the house with an excited look on his face——
He even knocked Zhang Wei off balance!
However, Cheng Yu didn't notice Zhang Wei at all.
Cheng Yu rushed directly to Su Tianli and asked excitedly: "Lizhi! Are you willing to hold a wedding banquet at home?"
Although Su Tianli's emotions were already tied up by the matter between Mao Li and Zhang Wei,
But no matter what time, love is more important!
So Su Tianli asked Cheng Yu with a smile, "Do you like to take on things so much?" Her tone was full of joy and resentment.
Cheng Yujun blushed, "I still want to do it myself!"
"What if... the wedding banquet you organized makes me unhappy? Or, in other words, it's not as happy as I imagined?" Su Tianli asked again.
Cheng Yu became more anxious, "No! I will do it!"
Su Tianli wanted to tease him, "Then we have to make it clear in advance! If this wedding banquet... doesn't meet my standards, I will be angry!"
Cheng Yu was originally quite confident, but after Su Tianli's emphasis,
He suddenly became less confident again.
For a moment, I couldn't help but hesitate.
Su Tianli was also afraid that he would be really frustrated by her, so she quickly said, "In short, everything should be based on my preferences! If you don't satisfy me... you will be punished!"
As she spoke, Su Tianli winked at Cheng Yu slyly.
Cheng Yu laughed out loud and nodded vigorously.
Yao Meiyu on the side rolled her eyes, made a "tsk" sound, and cursed: "This sour smell of love..."
Then she pointed at Su Tianli and Cheng Yu and said to Mao Li and Zhang Wei, "Hey, you two! Learn more from them!"
Zhang Wei immediately looked at Mao Li, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated;
Mao Li lowered her head and avoided Zhang Wei's sight.
This time, even Yao Meiyu noticed something was wrong, and stared at Mao Li and Zhang Wei in confusion, "Hey, what are you doing——"
Su Tianli quickly said, "Can we eat now? I'm almost starving to death!"
Cheng Yu had also noticed something was wrong between Mao Li and Zhang Wei.
Although he didn't know what happened yet.
But since Lizhi changed the subject, Cheng Yu followed suit and said, "Yes, I'm hungry too... Let's go and eat together!"
Just like that, Su Tianli pulled Yao Meiyu into the house.
Because Mao Li didn't want to be alone with Zhang Wei, she followed Su Yao and the others into the house.
Zhang Wei looked at Mao Li's background with a conflicted expression, but finally he lowered his head and followed her into the house.
Cheng Yu, who was at the end, had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Today is the day when my second uncle and his family come to the provincial capital.
They brought a lot of local specialties.
So today's dinner is particularly sumptuous.
There is freshly killed and cooked chicken in clear stew.
There are pumpkin and taro steamed bacon,
There are also juicy stir-fried sweet potato leaf tips with garlic paste…
Shaoguan is the northernmost place in Lingnan.
Going further north, you will reach the territory of Hunan, which belongs to the temperate climate zone;
Another 200 kilometers to the south is the subtropics.
Among them, Danxia Mountain serves as a barrier to firmly resist the cold from the north;
At the same time, waves of hot and humid water vapor coming from the south invaded and soaked the soil in this area.
Therefore, the land in Shaoguan is particularly fertile.
Going further north, the only seasonal vegetables in winter are Chinese cabbage and white radish.
And the peppers, potatoes, onions, tomatoes that we stockpiled in the fall...
In addition, most Chinese people cannot eat fresh vegetables in winter.
Shaoguan is different.
Of course, heat-loving vegetables like bitter melon, cucumber, celery, and beans will not be produced even if Shaoguan’s winter is not cold;
But there are vegetables like water chestnuts, spinach, wild rice stem, pumpkin, lettuce, sweet potato, fresh yam and cabbage.
Old Mrs. Su knew that Su Tianli had a light taste and loved to eat vegetables, so this time she and her second son's family brought over more than a dozen sacks of various fresh vegetables...
At this moment, Su Tianli was eating the delicious steamed taro and steamed pumpkin, and the juicy, tender and pointed sweet potato leaves, and she squinted her eyes with joy.
Cheng Yu looked at Su Tianli, feeling a little disappointed. He thought that she was not so happy when they got the marriage certificate in the morning! She was not so happy when they bought the house in the afternoon either...
Now that she is eating stir-fried sweet potato leaves, she is smiling so happily?
During the meal, Yao Meiyu told everyone that Lizhi and Cheng Yu’s wedding was scheduled for the 16th day of the first lunar month, but Lizhi had other important things to do during these days, so the preparations for the wedding were left to everyone.
Everyone had just passed around Su Tianli and Cheng Yu's marriage certificate before dinner.
Now after hearing what Yao Meiyu said, everyone was extremely excited.
Su Dejun patted his chest and said that he would pay for all the wedding clothes for his daughter and son-in-law!
Su Qianzi was surprised and asked, "Dad, can you really make clothes?"
"I'm not trying to discourage you. Even if you are good at sewing, you can only make hair ornaments!"
"And today is already the eighth day of the lunar new year! There are only eight... no, seven days left until the sixteenth day! Can you really do it well and make it in time?"
"Let my sister go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy ready-made clothes. It's safer!" Su Qianzi said.
Su Dejun was so angry that he gasped, "Why can't I do it? Ask Ah Cai if I mended his old clothes! Have I ever made pajamas for him?"
"Even if there are only seven days left, I can do it! I can't work the night shift!"
"I tell you, I'll finish the draft tonight, and I'll go buy fabric tomorrow... I'm sure I'll be in time! I'm sure I'll do it well!"
Su Qianzi muttered, "You have made pajamas... Who doesn't know how to make pajamas?"
"What my sister needs now is a wedding dress! Wedding dresses are very different from pajamas."
"Besides, you don't even have a sewing machine, and you sew it by hand... What if it doesn't turn out well? Wouldn't that make my sister a laughing stock?"
Su Dejun, "You——"
Seeing that the father and daughter were about to quarrel,
Cheng Yu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "How about this, we can do both at the same time. Uncle Jun will make wedding clothes for me and Lizhi, and Qianqian will help us buy some clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative! I'll give you the money in a moment."
Then he turned to Su Dejun and explained, "Uncle Jun, don't be angry... I was going to buy some new clothes for Lizhi anyway."
However--
Su Dejun's attention has been attracted by another thing.
He stared at Cheng Yu closely with a puzzled expression, "You have already obtained the marriage certificate with Lizhi, why do you still call me Uncle Jun?"
Cheng Yu: …
Cheng Yu shut his mouth instantly, and his handsome fair face turned red little by little!
Seeing Cheng Yu in such an awkward situation, Old Lady Su hurried to help him and said to Su Dejun, "Boss, you can't blame Cheng Yu for this. He should have waited until the day of the wedding to have him and Litchi offer you tea before he could change his mind!"
Su Dejun has an awkward relationship with Old Lady Su.
So when Old Mrs. Su opened her mouth, Su Dejun fell silent.
Second Aunt said to Second Uncle: "If Lizhi wants to hold a wedding banquet, then we should go back to the countryside tomorrow and find someone to order chickens, ducks, geese, and a pig..."
The second uncle said to the second aunt: "We should also get some wild delicacies and game..."
Ajuan and Yao Meiyu discussed it, "Where will it be held? How many tables are expected to be held? Is the place big enough?"
Yao Meiyu said, "Tomorrow I will discuss the number of people with Uncle Jun, and then we will know how many tables to set up... We will set it up in the staff canteen in the family compound of our chemical plant. The place is big enough!"
Then Yao Meiyu continued, "Our chemical plant employees and their families all get married in the cafeteria, but they usually provide their own meat and non-vegetarian dishes, alcohol, candy, cigarettes, etc. Some even provide their own vegetarian dishes, cooking oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and even bring their own staff to cook..."
"But we still have to use other people's condiments, pots, stoves and coal briquettes. There are fixed prices. I heard that the cheapest is 80 cents per table. I will ask my mother and Aunt Cao tomorrow. They will definitely know and will definitely come to help."
"Don't worry about these! This is your second sister and I's home turf!"
Just like that, everyone started discussing it lively.
It was late at night when Su Dejun was about to take his children back to the chemical plant's family compound. He also called Yao Meiyu and asked her to go with them.
But Su Qianzi didn't want to leave, and Yao Meiyu didn't want to leave either. They said they wanted to stay and talk to Lizhi.
Su Dejun was in a dilemma, "How can we live here?"
——Because his stepbrother Sun Shaoying and his family also came.
In the end, Su Tianli settled the lawsuit clearly:
All the women stayed here to sleep.
All the men followed Su Dejun back to the chemical plant’s family compound to sleep.
Everyone was quite impressed by Su Tianli's arrangement.
Except Zhang Wei.
Because Zhang Wei had always wanted to have a good talk with Mao Li about what happened during the Chinese New Year...
But it seems that now is not the right time.
In this way, Su Dejun rode a bicycle with Su Tiancai, Zhang Wei rode a tricycle with Cheng Yu, Sun Ershu and Ajun, and the group went away in a mighty manner.
It’s getting late.
The women who stayed behind took the time to arrange what they would do tomorrow.
Then Old Lady Su and Second Aunt slept on bunk beds in the little room;
Su Qianzi hadn't played with A Juan for a long time, so the two of them slept in the small dark room where Cheng Yu and Zhang Wei usually slept;
Su Tianli, Yao Meiyu and Mao Li slept in the big bedroom.
Su Tianli washed up,
As soon as I got into bed——
Yao Meiyu grabbed Mao Li's braid and asked, "What did you and Lizhi say behind my back in the yard before dinner?"
Mao Li snatched back her braid, "Nothing."
Yao Meiyu snatched back Mao Li's braid, "I saw everything! I just didn't hear it... Tell the truth!"
Mao Li wanted to take back her braid, but Yao Meiyu held it tightly and she failed.
So Mao Li raised a finger and poked Yao Meiyu's waist!
Yao Meiyu, who was ticklish, screamed.
Mao Li finally got her braid back as she wished.
Second Aunt came over and knocked on the door, then said outside: "...Pretty girls, stop making a fuss. Lizhi has to rush to the guesthouse early tomorrow morning!"
——Because Su Tianli and Cheng Yu had agreed with Old Lady Xu that they would show the marriage certificate to them after getting the marriage certificate.
Mao Li put her index finger between her lips, signaling Yao Meiyu to stop making trouble.
Yao Meiyu snatched Mao Li's braid without giving in...
Mao Li sighed helplessly and had to let her do as she pleased.
Su Tianli raised her voice and replied, "I understand, Second Aunt, you should go to bed early too!"
Send away Second Aunt,
Yao Meiyu removed the hair tie from Mao Li's braid, combed her hair carefully, and said, "I know even without you telling me... Mao Li must be feeling bad because of Zhang Wei's matter, right?"
"What do you know?" Mao Li asked.
Yao Meiyu said: "My sister-in-law heard it from her friend!"
"Sister Cai?" Su Tianli asked curiously.
Yao Meiyu said proudly: "It's not Sister Cai! My sister-in-law is very popular with her family! She has many, many friends... her network of contacts is very wide!"
Mao Li asked with a trembling voice: "Meiyu, what did your sister-in-law hear?"
Yao Meiyu remained silent.
She combed Mao Li's hair carefully...
After a long while, he said, "Mao Li, I'm going to tell you something! That...don't be angry when I tell you."
"I heard that Zhang Wei went on blind dates during the Chinese New Year! From the second to the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, he went on at least three or four blind dates a day!"
"My eldest sister-in-law's best friend's sister was also among them. That sister was cunning and came to my eldest sister-in-law to inquire about Zhang Wei's character. As a result, when my eldest sister heard that the man was Zhang Wei...she was shocked!"
"My sister-in-law must tell the truth!"
"When the elder sister heard this, she realized that Zhang Wei already had a girlfriend, and she immediately made the decision, saying that her younger sister would not come!"
"If this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known about it!" Yao Meiyu explained.
Mao Li remained silent for a long time.
Yao Meiyu combed Mao Li's long hair until it was smooth and fluent, then glanced at Su Tianli and asked Mao Li cautiously, "Mao Li, what are you planning to do?"
Mao Li smiled bitterly, "He is an independent person and an adult. He can do whatever he wants. I have no right to interfere."
Yao Meiyu, "Are you angry with him?"
Mao Li, "Whether I am angry or not, it has nothing to do with him."
After a pause, Mao Li took a deep breath and admitted readily, "Yes! I am angry... I am really angry!"
"No matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will be very angry, right?" she asked Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu.
Su Tianli nodded.
Yao Meiyu also nodded.
Mao Li said: "In the past few days, I have actually been thinking about this question——"
"You see, when he and I were inseparable, nothing happened. But once we separated, something or other would happen to him... before it was Qian Xiaoshuang, and now it's the blind date incident."
"Lizhi, Meiyu, I'm really tired."
"I know that he agreed to go on a blind date just to save face for his family. He didn't want to make everyone unhappy during the Chinese New Year."
"I also know that when he went on blind dates, he tried his best to save the blind date's face, so he treated them to meals and movies, also because he didn't want to embarrass them... I even believe that he told those women openly that he already had a girlfriend."
"Look—"
"He always tries to please others and wants everyone to be harmonious."
"But he has been wronging me."
"If the end of dating him is to always be wronged..."
"I don't think I want to be with him anymore."
"I work so hard to earn money, and I prepare for the exam very seriously... I hope I can get better and better, instead of suffering injustice from him for the rest of my life!" Mao Li said with tears in her eyes.
Yao Meiyu said: "Yes! Let's split it!"
"I'm telling you, when I first heard it from my sister-in-law, I almost exploded!"
"After what happened with Qian Xiaoshuang, I thought he would improve a little bit, but I didn't expect... he still can't figure it out!"
"Well, now I feel very angry just thinking about it!" Yao Meiyu said, waving her fist.
Mao Li's tears fell from her eyes and flowed down her face.
"But Litchi, Meiyu...I feel so bad!"
"I've been with him for a long, long time, and he has become a part of me."
"I-I'm a little afraid that I'll feel bad if I leave him."
"And I even had an abortion for him. In the future, I... I'm afraid I'll never be able to find a husband! Besides, which man doesn't care about this?" Mao Li became even sadder when she said this.
Su Tianli couldn't help but said, "Mao Li, let me tell you three idioms!"
"——adding insult to injury, providing timely assistance and adding icing on the cake."
"I think these three idioms can summarize my entire view of love."
"If a man would kick you when you are at your most vulnerable...why don't you break up? Do you have to keep this man and give him another chance to hurt you?"
"Mao Li, all your worries and anxieties probably come from the fact that you are afraid that one day when you are in trouble or in trouble, no one will come to your rescue, right?"
"So you are afraid to leave him. You feel that you will never find another person who is so good to you..."
"But Mao Li, in this world, no one loves yourself more than you do."
"You expect others' love, and you sacrifice yourself to get their love. What's the difference between you and Zhang Wei?"
"It's not that you don't love him, but look, what did you get?"
"Mao Li, love yourself! Your love for yourself is the real help in times of need."
“Work hard to improve yourself and make your wallet fatter, so that you can eat better, wear beautiful clothes… and enjoy this world.”
"At the same time, you have to be strong inside. There are many ways to get pleasure, such as working hard for your work or study goals... You don't have to rely on a man to get this kind of pleasure."
"Mao Li, when you reach a certain level, you no longer need help from others."
"By then, no difficulty can defeat you."
"Think about it yourself. When the time comes, you will have already stood at the top. Who will let you suffer injustice?"
Mao Li looked thoughtful.
Yao Meiyu asked Su Tianli, "Then, how do you say icing on the cake?"
Su Tianli smiled, "It's just the icing on the cake, it's just rewarding myself..."
"Reward?" Yao Meiyu was stunned. "...Reward? Reward for what?"
Su Tianli just smiled and said nothing.
However, Mao Li immediately understood the implication of Su Tianli's words.
——Reward, the literal meaning is reward!
So lychee means man... or it can also mean "marriage", "love" or "boyfriend",
In the case of lychees, it is a kind of reward?!
Think about Lizhi’s ambition again…
So Lizhi regarded Cheng Yu as... a reward?
Mao Li chuckled.
Yao Meiyu was stunned. "...No, did I miss something just now? What did you two talk about? What reward? Is there any necessary connection between reward and icing on the cake?"
Then Yao Meiyu asked Mao Li again, "What were you laughing at just now?"
Mao Li and Su Tianli looked at each other and said in unison:
"I won't tell you!"
"Think about it yourself!"
Yao Meiyu was almost pissed off, "Ahhhh you guys are so annoying!"
After the laughter, Su Tianli looked at Mao Li.
Although Mao Li still looked haggard, her eyes were clear.
So Su Tianli smiled and turned the topic back to the formulation of the company's articles of association -
