In whispering, Zhuang Jihua finally knew why Liu Yinshu appeared here.

After the news of Zhuang Jihua's serious injury in Niuxing reached Guangdong, Liu Yinshu was very anxious and was going to Nanchang at that time, but her father Liu Zhuang firmly disagreed, but on the contrary, he let the second aunt look at her too much, Liu Yinshu did not find an opportunity to leave home until after the New Year, ran to Guangzhou, and found Qi Linlin in Guangzhou, Qi Linlin took some money from home, and accompanied her to the north, the two easily found Wuhan, but Zhuang Jihua had escaped from Wuhan, Zhuang Jihua's behavior caused a dispute between Qi Linlin and Liu Yinshu, Qi Linlin could not accept the fact that Zhuang Jihua fled to Nanjing to work for Chiang Kai-shek, coupled with Li Haoyi's persuasion, the two parted ways, Qi Linlin joined the workers' propaganda team, and Liu Yinshu boarded the ship to Nanjing with the help of Li Zhilong and Pan Huiqin. She remembered the home that Zhuang Jihua mentioned before, she gritted her teeth and found Yunqiao Zhuang's house, and when she arrived here, she knew that Zhuang Jihua had just left, so she stayed, and then found a job as a primary school teacher in Yunqiao Primary School, until now.

When Liu Yinshu first appeared in Yunqiao, her beauty attracted the peeps of many people, including some local gentlemen, but Zhuang Jihua had too many classmates and was too popular. Later, Chiang Kai-shek's "special representative" appeared in the banker's house again, and no one dared to think anything wrong about Liu Yinshu.

Slowly the Zhuang clan also accepted Liu Yinshu, four years ago Zhuang Laishun accidentally fell and injured himself when repairing the house, Liu Yinshu took care of the front and back of the bed, after Zhuang Laishun recovered, Liu Yinshu officially moved into the Zhuang family.

After hearing this, Zhuang Jihua looked at Liu Yinshu's emaciated face and felt distressed, and he took her into his arms: "Silly girl, you are so stupid, you should stay at home, so that we can meet a few years earlier, and the children can play soy sauce." ”

Liu Yinshu didn't say anything, just smiled happily, she was busy when Zhuang Jihua was away, but when she arrived at Zhuang Jihua's side, she didn't take any ideas, just listened to him.

Zhuang Laishun and his wife were frightened by their actions, they had never seen such boldness, such fanaticism. It wasn't until they entered the house that the couple came to their senses.

"Jihua, Yin Shu has been in my house for a few years, she is a good girl, and it is difficult to find such a daughter-in-law with a lantern," Zhuang Li said with a smile, although Zhuang Jihua and Liu Yinshu's actions made her a little embarrassed, but she was also full of joy for them: "But, child, we can't treat other girls badly, right, three media and six hires, and the big red sedan chair should be there." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Liu Yinshu and said hesitantly: "It's not that I don't want to, but ,..., I can't stay at home for two days, I will go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, and then I will go to Beiping and Tianjin, and then..." ”

"You can't stay at home for two more days," although Zhuang Jihua had already said, Zhuang Li couldn't help but be angry: "At least you should leave after you become a kiss, otherwise how can the girl follow you, what is it if you don't understand it?" ”

Zhuang Jihua is in trouble, his adoptive mother's words are reasonable, since he has found Liu Yinshu, he will never let her leave him in the future. Zhuang Laishun was mistaken, he looked at Zhuang Jihua suspiciously: "Jihua, are you outside..." ”

Liu Yinshu's face suddenly turned snow-white, she looked at Zhuang Jihua a little nervously, Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, patted her hand gently, and then turned to Zhuang Laishun and said, "Dad, it's nothing, I really don't have time..." ”

"Don't have time? I don't like to hear this," Zhuang Li was reluctant, in her opinion, marrying a wife and having children was a major event in life: "I don't understand, what is bigger than marrying a wife and having children." ”

Zhuang Laishun smoked a dry cigarette and bowed his head silently, Liu Yinshu listened to Zhuang Jihua's words, her heart settled down, and she persuaded Zhuang Li to come: "Mom, he had a lot of things to do during the Cultural Revolution, besides, his daughter-in-law is already a member of the Zhuang family, it's just a ceremony, as long as he treats me sincerely, I don't care about this." ”

Zhuang Jihua's heart warmed, but before he could speak, Zhuang Laishun said: "Jihua, this time I agree with your mother's words, although the outside is important, but the family also has to take care of it, you are in your thirties, Yin Shu is also in her twenties, you see in the village, that girl and boy are not a few children at your age, since you call me Dad, then I am in charge, you and Yin Shu worship the church and then leave." ”

Zhuang Jihua was really stumped at this time, but Wu Ziniu laughed and said: "Commander, I think the uncle is right, and he is not in a hurry." Zeng Guangqing and Teng Jie have already gone to Sichuan, there is Li Zhilong here, and Mei Yuntian in Shanghai, so it's nothing to stay at home for two more days. ”

"I don't think it's anything, division commander, prepare today and tomorrow, get married the day after tomorrow, and then go north." Song Yunfei looked at Wu Ziniu and said: "In the Cultural Revolution, there are not many women who have waited for five years. ”

After listening to Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu's words, Liu Yinshu was finally completely relieved, it seems that Zhuang Jihua did arrange it like this, she didn't know that Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu were very wary of that Mei Youlan, and wanted to take the opportunity to settle Liu Yinshu's name first.

Song Yunfei's last words made Zhuang Jihua moved, yes, a woman doesn't have many five years to wait, he can't and shouldn't let Liu Yinshu wait any longer: "Okay, let's stay at home for two more days, prepare today, get married tomorrow, the day after tomorrow,..., the day after tomorrow, we will go north." ”

Then he said apologetically to Liu Yinshu: "Ah Shu, I'm sorry, I can't give you a very grand wedding now." ”

Liu Yinshu smiled, like flowers blooming, she gently leaned her head on his shoulder: "There is a saying in our hometown, there is love to drink water; Don't ask for priceless treasures, but you have to have a lover, as long as you can be by your side, it is happiness. ”

Zhuang Jihua touched his body, but he didn't find anything, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Ah Shu, the ring can only be bought for you in Shanghai." ”

Liu Yinshu looked at him, her eyes showing a strong affection: "With you, you don't lack anything." ”

Zhuang Li didn't care about the two people in front of him, who stood up and said to Liu Yinshu: "Ah Shu, according to our rules here, newcomers can't meet before they get married, you come with me and let them prepare." ”

After saying that, Zhuang Li walked towards the inner room, Liu Yinshu looked at Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua signaled to let her go in with her adoptive mother, and Liu Yinshu reluctantly went in with Zhuang Li.

After their backs disappeared, Zhuang Jihua turned around and sat on the chair, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu's emotions rose, and without waiting for Zhuang Laishun to speak, Wu Ziniu preemptively said: "The teacher is married, there should be a lot of these three mediators and six appointments, this matchmaker can be done by me, and Brother Yunfei can be responsible for procurement and decorating the new house." ”

When the matchmaker is getting married, in addition to giving the bride, he can also receive a thank you matchmaker, so Wu Ziniu has found a good errand for himself. Zhuang Jihua and Song Yunfei laughed at the same time, and Song Yunfei smiled: "Cultural Revolution, what do you think of his arrangement?" ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know how to do this marriage, if you want me to hold a Western-style wedding, I understand, this... I really don't understand. ”

Zhuang Jihua is not prevaricating, he really doesn't understand the ways of this old-fashioned wedding, he has just heard that there are many etiquettes in this old-fashioned wedding, and it takes a lot of time.

Song Yunfei only knew part of the etiquette, and when he married Xiaoxiu, he just invited Wu Ziniu to have a meal together.

Zhuang Laishun shook his head and sighed: "You children, you have to get married, ask for names, Najib, Naji, ask for a date, and welcome in person, this way down, it will take at least half a month, you have to do it simply, everything else can be saved, this welcome can not be saved, I will go and discuss with the patriarch to see what to do." ”

Zhuang Jihua's head is a little big, I don't know how much time it will take to get it, but what he lacks most now is time, Sichuan is now tense, and the situation is about to change greatly, he must take advantage of this incident in order to gain a foothold in Sichuan and open up the situation.

"Dad, I'm getting married, our family can discuss it ourselves, why bother the clansmen." Zhuang Jihua said: "I think so, isn't Yin Shu a teacher in the school, we will go to the school to welcome relatives, as for the banquet, I don't think outsiders are invited, only the villagers are invited, how many are invited, as for how the banquet is organized, we don't care, hand it over to the chef of the restaurant in the town, and let them send someone to do it." ”

Zhuang Laishun wrenched his fingers and calculated, and then said: "It costs a lot of money, the family repairs the house, buys land and cattle, and does not save much money. ”

Song Yunfei shook his head, and Wu Ziniu shouted with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about money, the division commander is now one of the few rich people in the world, and you don't have to worry about money at all." ”

Zhuang Jihua glared at him when he heard this, took out a stack of money from his purse and handed it to Zhuang Laishun: "Dad, you don't have to worry about money, you take this money first, and I will send it back one after another." ”

Zhuang Laishun had never seen so much money at one time, and he was not only a little panicked: "So much? What kind of business have you been doing out there in the past few years? ”

"We'll talk about this later, now I'll go to Yunqiao to find the restaurant chef and ask them to come to the village tomorrow to hold a banquet." Zhuang Jihua stood up and said to Song Yunfei: "Yunfei and I will go, Ziniu, you stay at home and help my parents decorate the new house." ”

In the house, Zhuang Li pulled Liu Yinshu and whispered: "Girl, I have wronged you." ”

"Mom, don't be wronged," Liu Yinshu lowered her head, her face flushed, although she had had to taste her wish for many years, she couldn't help but be shy when she wanted to be a bride.

"My kid, since he got better, he hasn't been stable, he's out all day, and he doesn't know what to do?" Zhuang Li likes the gentle and virtuous Liu Yinshu very much, and after dating in the past few years, she feels that this daughter-in-law is the best gift from God: "First I went for three years, and then I went for another five years, and I said that I was going to leave again before I got home, alas." ”

Zhuang Li couldn't help but moisten his eyes as he spoke, and he was about to cry, Liu Yinshu hurriedly persuaded softly: "Mom, don't be sad, he also thinks about you during the Cultural Revolution, when he was in Guangzhou, he often talked about his parents, but he was too busy and had no time to separate." ”

"Mom knows that he is out, just look at the people in the family over the years, I used to see a county official who was a great official, but these officials who came to the house, I heard that most of them are three or four grade officials, and even some are also court ministers of the first and second grades, but even if these people are polite to our two old men and old women,..., we didn't have a son before, and the village was often bullied, but since we had this child, no one dared to bully us within a radius of 100 miles." Zhuang Li is both proud and sad, in fact, she said so much, and she also told Liu Yinshu that although the wedding was simple, her adopted son would never disgrace her.

Liu Yinshu didn't think about it so much, she was completely overwhelmed by the upcoming happiness, Zhuang Li's words made her amused and proud: "Mom, don't worry, there is the Cultural Revolution, don't worry about anything, the family will get better and better." ”

Zhuang Li stood up, walked to a cabinet, took out a small wooden box painted with gold from it, and took out a small handkerchief from it, Zhuang Li unfolded the handkerchief on the table, and inside was a crystal clear bracelet.

"Child, Mom doesn't have anything to give you, this is what I gave to you when I got married." Zhuang Li said and put the bracelet on Liu Yinshu.

Liu Yinshu hurriedly stopped: "Mom, don't, this is your beloved thing, and your daughter-in-law doesn't dare to accept it." ”

"Silly child," Zhuang Li smiled: "I only have one child, Jihua, and I don't give it back to his daughter-in-law." ”

"Mom!" Liu Yinshu no longer refused, and only buried her head in Zhuang Li's arms coquettishly.

Zhuang Jihua's marriage is a big deal in Zhuangjia Village, Zhuang Laishun told the patriarch, the patriarch immediately decided to take over Zhuang Jihua's marriage, he wants to do a big job, not only to invite the people in the clan, but also to invite the big families in the town, as well as some of the county's wang clan, Zhuang Laishun told him that Zhuang Jihua wanted to do it simply, the old patriarch was angry, trembling slightly to find Zhuang Jihua, bluntly criticized him should not be so hasty, Zhuang Jihua had to spend a lot of lips and tongues, it was easy to persuade the old patriarch, and then he hurriedly went to the town Liuxiang Pavilion to ask for a cook.

When he returned, the house was already overcrowded, and seven or eight women from the clan came to help decorate the new house, and the doors and windows were pasted with big red happy characters, and the courtyard was also dressed in red and hung with colors, looking joyful.

Liu Yinshu has also gone back to school, and the sedan chair will carry people from the school tomorrow.

Among these busy people, Zhuang Jihua suddenly found that he was a superfluous person, he was almost completely unable to intervene, he looked at the sedan chair in the courtyard that was being busily arranged, pulled Song Yunfei and prepared to go out for a walk, avoiding this chaotic situation.

But before he went out, he saw Mei Youlan, who was bright-eyed and dressed in a dress, rushing in from outside.
