The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the town is very lively, compared to the big cities are busy, the atmosphere here is very harmonious, a little more humane.

The car stopped at the door of Duan's house, Duan Shaoling got out of the car, and Chen Zui instructed him to prepare wine and food the night after tomorrow and wait for their chatter.

When she ran out of Ningzhou, Li Chengjing was ready to stay with Chen Zui, and at this moment she was going to see her future father-in-law, as a girl, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The car stopped and got out of the car, Chen Zui held something in his left hand, held her hand with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her in-laws, not to mention that I brought such a beautiful wife, my father will probably be happy and unable to sleep for three days." ”

Chen drunk joked like this, Li Chengjing was really not so nervous, and the two walked towards the door hand in hand.

"Dad, I'm back."

Father Chen heard his son's voice and walked out of the house, shocked and suspicious, "Didn't Master Duan send someone to say that you wouldn't come back for the New Year?" Why did you suddenly come back again? The next second, I saw two people with ten fingers interlocked.

In front of the elders, Li Chengjing was a little embarrassed, gently withdrew her hand, took two steps forward, and took the initiative to greet, "Hello Daddy Chen." ”

"Miss Li, you are here too, why are you alone this year, and the other two girls?"

Chen Zui took two steps forward and shook Li Chengjing's hand again, "Dad, your son only plans to marry such a wife, do you still want me to bring a few girls back?" ”

Father Chen dilated his pupils in astonishment, "What did you say?" You ......"

"Dad, Cheng Jing is the wife I want to marry, and we are coming back to get married."

"Come in and talk about it." Father Chen was even happier than Chen Zui expected, and Chen Zui raised his eyebrows at Li Chengjing, meaning to say, "How about it, I will say that my father must be happy to see me bring such a beautiful wife back." ”

Li Chengjing's face turned red, and her tense heart finally let go.

After entering the house, Father Chen didn't even have time to prepare the meal, and beckoned Li Chengjing to sit down. They have all reached the point of talking about marriage, and Father Chen wants to start with Li Chengjing's family situation.

Regarding Li Chengjing's identity, the three of them discussed, or don't tell Daddy Chen the truth first, so they fabricated an identity for Li Chengjing: only said that she was the only daughter of a rice merchant in Ningzhou, Boss Li's family, and met Chen Zui when she was studying in Guicheng, and the latter two knew each other and fell in love, and when they were in Ningzhou, their marriage had been allowed by Boss Li.

According to the custom of Ningzhou, the girl must first go home with the man to formally visit the church, and then return to Ningzhou to do it again. Because her family is busy with business and the distance is far away, the parents will not come first, and they will have to do it again when they return to Ningzhou anyway.

Li Chengjing answered fluently, spoke decently and generously, the two sat together, and the more Father Chen looked at the two, the more they were compatible, and he was happy, but he no longer had any doubts.

Father Chen then entered the house, and when he came out, he held a box in his hand, and when he opened it was a jade bracelet, just like other families, the jade bracelet was to be passed on to his daughter-in-law. The jade bracelet was supposed to be brought by the future mother-in-law for her daughter-in-law, but Chen's mother died early, so Chen's father had to bring it for his daughter-in-law, and the marriage was decided.

When it comes to the marriage date, the two plan to abandon the eighteenth day of the first month set in Ningzhou, and let Daddy Chen choose an auspicious zodiac day in the town tomorrow according to the eight characters of their birthdays.

At the dinner table, Father Chen sighed dignifiedly, "It's a pity that our house is so small, it's really wronged." ”

Li Chengjing put down her chopsticks and hurriedly said: "Dad, I am married to Chen Zui, which is his wife, and I will share joys and sorrows with him in the future, there will be no grievances at all. ”

Father Chen was greatly moved: "Chen Zui, you married such a good daughter-in-law as Cheng Jing, but you must cherish it, don't bully her in the future and let her be wronged, otherwise I won't spare you." ”

Chen Zui was secretly funny, he might not be able to beat his daughter-in-law. "Dad, don't worry, my daughter-in-law who I worked so hard to marry doesn't know how to cherish it, so I'm not a fool anymore? Also, I have already planned for the house, I will go to Shaoling tomorrow and ask him to ask Master Duan to help us find a bigger house in the town, and we can move as soon as the year passes. ”

Father Chen was a little unconvinced, "But the money you sent back is not enough, plus the money from selling crops is not enough." ”

Chen Zui patted his chest, "Don't worry, I still have savings here, just wait to move to a new house." ”

Seeing that what his son said was so sure, Father Chen believed it.

That night, Chen Zui gave the room to Li Chengjing first, and before getting married, Chen Zui squeezed a room with Chen's father.

At night, the two sat in front of the door to admire the moon, and Chen Zui explained to Li Chengjing that when he was in Ningzhou, because Li Dashuai personally announced their marriage, the generals in the army competed to give gifts to please him, and of course some people gave money. They left in a hurry, and the large gifts were left in the barracks, but Chen Zui still took some cash, which was enough for them to buy a decent house in the town.

Chen Zui also told her that the Li family's finances were tight, but judging from the gifts given to him by those officials, their family background was definitely not thin. Li Dashuai should let the officials under him contribute to the finances of the three armies, and on the whole, it will definitely not be less than the 800,000 sponsored by Zou Baoyi.

The next day, they went their separate ways, Chen Zui and Li Chengjing went to Zhang Luo's house, and Daddy Chen was responsible for their birthdays. As Chen Zui said, with the help of Master Duan, things in the house went very smoothly.

They chose a day, and finally took a fancy to a big house two streets away from Duan's house and next to the ancestral hall in the town. The owner of the house is surnamed Cai, and he has known Mr. Duan for many years, and Mr. Cai is ready to move to Guicheng to do business in order to sell the old house in the town.

The area of this old house is more than three times larger than theirs, with a small yard at the entrance and a small living room in the middle. The two-storey building, with three rooms on each floor, looks stable, and the layout inside and out is also satisfying, and because of Master Duan's face, the price opened by Master Cai is also pertinent.

Chen Zui likes to do things cheerfully and feels impeccable, so this matter is settled. Under the witness of Master Duan, they signed the housing contract, Chen Zui paid half of the money first, and the remaining half was paid on the day they moved in on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Daddy Chen's side asked the famous marriage master in the town to calculate their good days early in the morning, the most recent was on February 14, which was enough time, and after the three of them discussed, it was decided.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the three of them drank wine to the moon in the attic of the Duan family, looking at the bright fireworks in the sky and the laughter of every household below, this is really a paradise, making them temporarily forget that the world outside is still divided.

Duan Shaoling asked Li Chengjing how she planned to explain to Li Dashuai, Li Chengjing said that this family business was originally her father's nod, no matter what the intention was at the time, he informed Ningzhou, that it was necessary to count, otherwise he would lose his face. After they got married, they would find an opportunity to go to Ningzhou together to meet her father.

The three of them discussed where to go next, Li Chengjing chose to let go of everything, and followed Chen Zui, where Chen Zui was, she was, and the two would never be separated. As for where to go, Chen Zui wants to wait until after marriage to make plans, he always has to do something, and he will not stay here mediocrely.

Chen Zui knew that Duan Shaoling was going to find Xue Qingning after the wedding, "Do you know where you have to go to find Miss Qingning?" ”

Duan Shaoling said that he didn't know, but before Xue Qingning could say the address, Chen Zui and the others arrived.

Chen Zui said again: "Miss Qingning has been in the Shenghui Cathedral for a long time, you may be able to go there again to inquire about the news." ”

Duan Shaoling said: "After what happened last time, she has little hope of returning to Shenghui Cathedral. ”

Her organization was so secretive that she had to try her luck in the nearby major cities.

"Shaoling, do you really have to find Xue Qingning?" Li Chengjing asked him suddenly, as if she knew Xue Qingning's whereabouts.

Duan Shaoling nodded unabashedly, "Do you know where their organization is?" ”

Li Chengjing said: "Commander Qi checked the pastor of the church, they didn't know Xue Qingning's true identity, and in the end, Commander Qi didn't embarrass the people of the church too much. But from their mouths, it was learned that Xue Qingning was brought back to the church from Changling by an old man of the church at that time to raise him. Now that the old man is gone, there's no way to track it down, and that's all I know. ”

"Changling? That's not the North. ”

Li Chengjing said again: "We can not stop you from going to Xue Qingning, but the so-called non-governmental organizations, which are patriotic at best, are actually mostly empty talk about ideals and unrealistic, I hope you will not be carried away by love and make wrong choices." ”

"Okay, I'll be measured."

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, they officially moved and moved into a new house, and everything went so smoothly.

On the 10th of February, all of their good friends arrived with congratulatory gifts, and Lu Baiting also brought his girlfriend Ruodie with him, and among the congratulatory gifts they brought, Leng Chuxian brought the most valuable, which was that Guo Qianye was specially prepared to thank Chen Zui for saving his life.

In terms of accommodation, they arranged for all three men to live in Duan's house, and all three women to live in Chen Zui's house to accompany Li Chengjing. Ruodie girl was very shy at the beginning, and only dared to talk to Lu Baiting alone, and it took two days to mature with them.

Two days in advance, the auditorium was decorated, the new house was purchased, and wedding supplies were purchased.

On February 14, at noon, as soon as the auspicious time arrived, the firecrackers outside rang out, and the bride and groom, accompanied by several people, went to the hall to hold a worship ceremony.

The officiant shouted, 'Bow to heaven and earth,' and the newlyweds turned and bowed, and suddenly a man in military uniform rushed in at the door, "Wait." He was out of breath, and he didn't know how long he had been running, but he finally found here.
