Chapter 400 Engagement
Yang Yingxu was the first one to leave work among the group of people who were slacking off because he had to come back to cook dinner. As soon as he entered the yard of the educated youth site, he saw that the lock on Xia Zhizhi's door was opened.
Because they were asked to help look after the house, Xia Zhizhi left them two keys. There were actually quite a few valuable things in Xia Zhizhi's house, and they usually locked her house when they went to work.
Yang Yingxu was the first one to come back from slacking off. When he saw that Xia Zhizhi's door was open, he knew without a doubt that it must be Xia Zhizhi who had returned, and he immediately became excited.
He trotted into Xia Zhizhi's room and said happily, "Everyone has been missing you these days. You're finally back!"
It has been almost half a year since Xia Zhizhi returned home.
Yang Yingxu is somewhat attached to Xia Zhizhi psychologically. It is not the kind of relationship between a man and a woman, but more like a hen and bird complex. After all, the first sense of security he got after traveling through time was from Xia Zhizhi.
If Xia Zhizhi told everyone that she was going back to the city and would no longer be an educated youth, although Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong would be reluctant to let her go, they would not feel particularly sad. If they really missed her, they could just write a few more letters. If that didn't work, they could spend some money to call her.
If it were Yang Yingxu, he would probably be lost for a long time.
Xia Zhizhi gave the fresh meat to Yang Yingxu and asked him to cook it in the evening. Yang Yingxu was busy at the stove, and Xia Zhizhi leaned against the door with her arms folded, reminiscing about the past with him.
There was nothing major happening at the educated youth site, and everyone was quiet. Cui Zijin went back to the city and took his belongings away some time ago. Xia Zhizhi knew about this.
In addition, Lin Wenxi seemed to have been promoted.
When Yang Yingxu talked about Lin Wenxi, he was really shy and timid: "Wenxi did a good job in the army. He didn't come back for the New Year last year. He said he had a mission. He wrote to us some time ago and said he would go home during the Dragon Boat Festival."
Yang Yingxu paused a little embarrassedly when he said this: "She, she said that she would get married with me when she comes back this time. If, if there is enough time, we can have the wedding banquet at home now."
Xia Zhizhi nodded: "Okay."
Counting the days, Lin Wenxi has been in the army for nearly a year.
We had only been together for a short while and were just getting passionate about each other, but it turned into a long-distance relationship.
In the future, she can make video calls and send messages to comfort her pain of missing him. Nowadays, it takes several days to write a letter back and forth. I guess she must be feeling depressed because of missing her partner.
Based on Xia Zhizhi's understanding of Lin Wenxi, if Yang Yingxu was not old enough, she probably wanted to get the marriage certificate directly.
Unfortunately, you have to apply for a marriage certificate in the military, and you definitely can’t get one if you’re not old enough.
It seems that rules are dead but people are alive. If you can't get a marriage certificate, you can set up two tables at home first. After that, can't you get married openly?
Yang Yingxu considers himself as a second sex, and he sees himself as marrying someone, not taking a wife.
When talking about my own marriage, I feel the same as that girl. I have some expectations and want to settle down after getting married and starting a family.
Because of the unknown, I have some inexplicable fear about the upcoming married life.
After all, knowing is one thing, and actually facing it is another.
Xia Zhizhi came back just in time, and he inexplicably felt the confidence of having her family support him.
Xia Zhizhi also knew that although the child looked half a head taller than herself, she was actually just a dainty little girl at heart, a smart dainty little girl at best.
Getting married is the most important life event these days. Now that you have caught up with it, you can help him worry more about it.
After thinking for a while, I asked him, "Do you need to inform your family members?"
Yang Yingxu blushed and said, "They can't come. I sent a letter there, but I don't know if they can receive it."
"What about the betrothal gift?" Xia Zhizhi realized that the child was getting married, and immediately changed her words: "What about the wedding? Is there anything missing?"
Although Yang Yingxu's self-awareness is secondary, he has traveled through time for so long that he knows that the world these days is different from that of his previous life, and that men and women generally get married.
When Xia Zhizhi asked him this, he stammered, "Wenxi, Wenxi said that we two considered her marrying me, and the betrothal gift was arranged according to the three turns and one ring. She didn't have time to buy it, and she was afraid that I wouldn't like what Uncle Lin and Auntie chose, so she sent the money to me and asked me to buy it myself.
I thought, I already have a watch, so I don’t need to buy a new one for the time being. I don’t need a bicycle in the village, so I won’t buy one for the time being.
As for the sewing machine, Wen Xi said, "I will stay in the village for a year this year. Maybe next year I can go to join the army. I will have to buy everything there, and it will cost a lot of money. So I thought I would not buy a sewing machine for now, but just buy a radio first. It will not be embarrassing to put it in the village."
Yang Yingxu was smart. He knew that he would need money for everything in his life. It was useless to just look good on the outside. It would be a bad idea to spend all his money on a wedding.
Although Lin Wenxi said that her monthly salary in the army was several dozen yuan, and she also said that it could increase in the future, she was a soldier after all, so how much could it increase? After deducting food and drink, there would not be much left at the end of the year.
Even if he joins the army in the future, the army can arrange a house for him, but he will have to buy all the furniture himself.
Life requires money for everything from food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. If you have children, the expenses will be even greater.
As for the things bought for the wedding, small items are fine. You can take them with you even if you join the army in the future. It will only take a little trouble.
It was impossible for him to carry large items like sewing machines, and he wouldn't be able to use them for long after buying them, so he thought it was not worthwhile.
The most important thing is that Lin Wenxi handed the money directly to him, making him feel like he was spending his own money, which he was reluctant to do.
Yang Yingxu is similar to Xia Zhizhi, and has always been a clear-headed person.
People live according to their abilities. When conditions permit, Yang Yingxu can live a good life of ordering slaves around. When conditions don't permit, he can also do it if he is thrifty.
Xia Zhizhi thought Yang Yingxu was worrying too much.
Lin Wenxi is a very straightforward person, but she is not a fool.
She feels that she has the ability to support her family. Her omega follows her. Although she may not live a superior life, at least she has to make arrangements for what others have.
Lin Wenxi should have some savings. She and Song Hu killed blind bears, wolves, roe deer, and red deer in the mountains, anything that could run.
He spent two days in the mountains, and Lin Wenxi had the halo of the heroine, so she basically had no time to relax. She could earn dozens of dollars for each trip, so her piggy bank must be full.
Lin Wenxi had no place to spend money, so as long as she had enough food to eat, she would wear whatever clothes she was given. She didn't like anything that girls liked, and she saved all her money.
