"Teacher Deng!"
Sun Xingyan saw Professor Deng carrying a vegetable basket and quickly called out to him.
Before Professor Deng could ask any questions, he shouted excitedly, "I'm married to Baozhu!"
Feeling the curious stares of others, Xia Baozhu wished she could jump into the nearby lake, even though it was frozen over.
She never imagined that after Sun Xingyan got the marriage certificate, he would be like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.
If she continues to live like this with Sun Xingyan, she won't be able to keep a low profile in the future. Will she also become a goofball like Sun Xingyan?
How terrifying!
"That's wonderful! Congratulations!" Professor Deng happily accepted the wedding candy handed to him by Sun Xingyan.
"Baozhu, come here quickly!" Sun Xingyan called out.
Xia Baozhu sighed deeply. Is it too late to exchange the goods now?
She forced a smile and said to Professor Deng, "Professor, let me carry the basket for you."
"Let me do it." Sun Xingyan took Professor Deng's shopping basket and hung it on the handlebars.
"The basket isn't heavy, I can manage it myself." Although he declined, Professor Deng still enjoyed the students' filial piety.
Less than a month after Sun Xingyan returned, the two got their marriage certificate, which suggests that they had a foundation of affection beforehand.
Professor Deng expressed his appreciation for Sun Xingyan's initiative.
"Once you're married, you should live a good life together, understanding and respecting each other."
"Don't worry, we'll be absolutely fine." Sun Xingyan said firmly, his eyes filled with deep affection as he looked at Xia Baozhu walking beside Professor Deng.
Unfortunately, Xia Baozhu did not respond. She looked straight ahead and did not want to pay any attention to him.
However, Sun Xingyan's attention was soon drawn to an old acquaintance.
Professor Deng smiled as he looked at Sun Xingyan's beaming excitement and said, "Xingyan wanted me to act as a matchmaker for him before he left. I told him about your situation, but he still insisted."
This was the first time Xia Baozhu had ever heard of such a thing.
She turned her head and glanced at Sun Xingyan, who was smiling at her, and a smile crept into the corners of her eyes.
"Xingyan's personality suits you well, although he is a bit too unconventional."
Professor Deng's words echoed in Xia Baozhu's ears, and she nodded in agreement.
That evening, after having dinner at the Sun family's house, Sun Xingyan escorted Xia Baozhu home.
"Wife, where am I going to sleep tonight?" Sun Xingyan asked, turning around as he rode his bicycle.
"You sleep at your own place?" Xia Baozhu looked up at the stars in the deep blue night sky and replied.
"Didn't we get our marriage certificate?" Sun Xingyan's tone was filled with deep disappointment, and his anger immediately subsided by half.
"What's wrong with getting a marriage certificate?"
"It's legal now!" Sun Xingyan exclaimed excitedly.
His biggest regret is not buying and renovating the house earlier.
Even just buying a yard before leaving would be good, and having his brother oversee the renovation.
It's all too rushed now. He rushed to get the marriage certificate, only to find that he doesn't even have a place to sleep right away.
The renovation of the new house is progressing too slowly, and two out-of-town workers even went home early for the Chinese New Year.
Sun Xingyan plans to find workers willing to work overtime during the Chinese New Year tomorrow; he'll pay them extra.
Buy all the furniture ready-made; it's easy to replace anything you don't like.
We'll try to move in as soon as possible.
"So what if it's legal?" Xia Baozhu continued to tease Sun Xingyan.
Sun Xingyan has completely lost interest; it seems he'll have to wait until after the wedding to have the chance to sleep with his wife.
"Honey, should we inform your dad about our wedding?"
Sun Xingyan learned about the disgusting things Xia Gangtie had done from San Gou and disliked his father-in-law very much.
No need to notify.
Sun Xingyan reminded her that Xia Baozhu then remembered Xia Gangtie and his family of three.
If Xia Gangtie knew she was remarrying, he would definitely ask Sun Xingyan for money, and Sun Xingyan would definitely give it to her. She didn't want to benefit the Xia family father and son so easily.
"Don't worry about them after this," Xia Baozhu continued.
"I'll listen to my wife."
A hypocrite might even try to show respect for his father-in-law and urge Xia Baozhu to be filial to her parents.
Sun Xingyan would never do that. He understands Xia Baozhu's character and knows that she is kind by nature. If her father-in-law is a good person, she will do her best without anyone telling her.
Just like she helped her sister's family.
This is also one of the reasons why Xia Baozhu likes Sun Xingyan. He doesn't lecture her or act superior, making it very comfortable to be around him.
...
Xia Baozhu paid her employees their wages and bonuses, as well as generous New Year's gifts, and gave them a holiday on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year.
If you are local and want to work, you can come over on the first day of the Lunar New Year and stay until the sixth day. During this period, your salary will be doubled.
Those whose homes are in other places can come back after the tenth day of the lunar new year.
Xia Laidi's family went back, and the courtyard became quiet for a while.
On New Year's Eve, Sun Xingyan knocked on the door early in the morning.
He helped Xia Baozhu clean all the rooms and went to the street to buy couplets and window decorations to put up.
Both shops had couplets and the character "福" (fortune) pasted on their doors.
"This year feels a bit different." Sun Xingyan pushed his bicycle, looking at the expressions of passersby. He had already encountered several dejected people today.
"I heard that several factories haven't paid wages yet, and they might have to shut down next year."
Xia Baozhu heard this news from San Gou.
"Wife, do you still want to open a food processing plant?" Sun Xingyan suddenly brought up what he had said to Xia Baozhu before he left.
"There are already three in the city, and business is good."
When Xia Baozhu was looking for a factory to make hamburger buns, she had looked into several of them. Moreover, the food industry is always highly competitive; not only do the buns have to taste good, but they also have to be innovative.
“If we have to shut down the factory next year, I’d like to buy a factory building. What do you think we should do, honey?” Sun Xingyan continued to ask.
