struggle in a small town

Chapter 46

It was past eight o'clock when the new house was set up.

The door and window are pasted with the word "囍", flowers with ribbons are hung on the ceiling, wedding photos surround the wall, balloons of various shapes are pasted, and dried fruits are placed on the bright red quilt with "Premature Treasure Child".

Zhang Xuejiao subconsciously reached out and touched the surface of the quilt, which was smooth and soft, at least 80-count cotton.

Through the glowing red four-piece suit, she seemed to see Lei Ming's happy life after that.

After tidying up the trash, Lei Ming greeted everyone to go out for dinner.

His friends refused one after another, asking him to have a good night's rest and go to meet his relatives tomorrow.

Zhang Xuejiao wanted to leave, but Lei Ming stopped her: "Sister Jiao, seal a red envelope for me."

Shangguan Yingzi smiled strangely and pushed her forward, then dragged Xi Lele away.

Zhang Xuejiao didn't think too much, walked to the sofa and sat down: "How much are you going to pack?"

"The smallest is 10 yuan."

"Well, what about the red envelope?"

Lei Ming took out red envelopes of different sizes from under the coffee table, and went to the master bedroom to get the banknotes that had been exchanged in advance.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at a bag full of 10 yuan and asked in surprise, "How much do you want to pack?"

"Nan Nan asked to pack 500, saying that someone at the entrance of the village would stop them, and both adults and children would send them."

Zhang Xuejiao silently calculated in her head, 500 10 yuan is 5 yuan.

Damn, it costs so much just to enter a village?
Lei Ming took out the big red envelope and began to stuff money into it: "The rest are all 100. Nan Nan said that her family has many relatives, and there are many door-to-door contacts."

Zhang Xuejiao hesitated to speak.

She's just a friend and it's best to keep her mouth shut.

Lei Ming smiled wryly and began to complain: "For the 2000-table banquet, 50 tables were reserved, and 5 tables were reserved. I bought [-] boxes of liquor, not to mention drinks."

Zhang Xuejiao was shocked again: "So many people?"

"Nan Nan said that everyone in the village will come."

Zhang Xuejiao shut up again.

She has never lived in the village, so she has no idea about the human relations in the village.

"Jiaoer." Lei Ming threw away the red envelope in his hand, and looked at her sideways: "Nan Nan made a lot of requests. Don't rent the wedding dress, but buy a new one, and don't want cheap ones. There is no shortage of hardware, and the weight is still important." It has to be tall enough, otherwise she will feel ashamed. The Guangcai ceremony costs 18 yuan, and the dowry is only a few quilts."

Zhang Xuejiao was silent, not knowing what to say.

She was never married, and knew nothing about these things.

"I think my car is cheap, so I bought a car worth more than 30 yuan and put it in her name." Lei Ming's eyes were complicated: "I threw all the money I saved over the years into it, and I went back to before liberation overnight."

Zhang Xuejiao silently calculated that the new car, bride price, banquet, and hardware would add up to at least 60 yuan.

Enough to buy a house.

Damn, is marriage so expensive?
And she remembered that Lei Ming still had to pay off the mortgage, so she was under a lot of pressure.

Lei Ming leaned weakly on the back of the sofa: "Jiaoer, I don't want to end up."

Zhang Xuejiao silently stuffed money into the red envelope, not daring to say a word.

The wedding is tomorrow, and all relatives and friends have been notified, so we can't let Lei Ming run away, right?
Life is not about making movies, if he runs away, regardless of his previous investment, where will his parents save face?
Lei Ming looked at her back and laughed at himself: "I can't blame others, but myself."

"Don't say that." Zhang Xuejiao didn't dare to turn her head back: "Marriage is a great event, and the two of you will definitely be happy."

After that, Lei Ming didn't speak again, and the two sealed all the red envelopes in silence.

Zhang Xuejiao said goodbye and left, Lei Ming sent her downstairs and found that she didn't come by bike: "I'll take you back."

"No need, just take a taxi."

"It's not easy to take a taxi here." Lei Ming touched his pocket, but he didn't bring the car keys: "I'll go up and get the keys, just wait."

"It's really not necessary."

When Lei Ming took the key and went downstairs, Zhang Xuejiao had already left.

He stood downstairs for a long time before going upstairs with a sigh.

When Zhang Xuejiao returned home, she first called Lin Zhiyuan and told her that she was home.

Not long after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Zhiyuan came running again.

Zhang Xuejiao jumped into his arms in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"want to see you."

"How much do you think?"

Lin Zhiyuan kissed her on the forehead: "I really want to."

Zhang Xuejiao pouted: "Do you want to come here?"

Lin Zhiyuan supported her by her legs, picked her up, kicked off the shoes on her feet, and walked over to sit on the sofa.

His breath was a little unsteady: "I really kissed?"

"What nonsense!"

Zhang Xuejiao put her arms around his neck and moved closer to him.

But as it got closer, she suddenly felt a little timid.

Lin Zhiyuan hugged her waist tightly, resolutely not giving her a chance to escape.

Zhang Xuejiao felt an electric current go straight from her lips to the top of her head, go down her spine, circle around her toes, and rush to the top of her head again.

When she regained her senses, she realized that Lin Zhiyuan had already pinned her down on the sofa.

"uuuuuu"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his head: "What's wrong?"

"Dizziness."

Lin Zhiyuan pulled her up funny: "There will be no lack of oxygen in such a short time."

"For the first time, it was too exciting."

Zhang Xuejiao lay in his arms, unbuttoning his sweater, her face flushed, her eyelashes fluttering.

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't bear to kiss her again.

Zhang Xuejiao put her hand against him: "No, no, I'm afraid you will transform."

"Ok?"

Lin Zhiyuan came to his senses, grabbed her hand and kissed her, suppressing the strength in his heart.

"Sakura is getting married this year, and she's already living with her boyfriend."

"Ah."

"They're still classmates in elementary school."

"Ah."

Zhang Xuejiao talked a lot, Lin Zhiyuan knew she was nervous, chatted with her for a while, saw her yawn, and then put her down: "It's late, I'll go back first, and I'll come to you tomorrow."

"I'll call you when the wedding is over."

"it is good."

After Lin Zhiyuan left, Zhang Xuejiao leaned against the door and touched her lips, feeling very strange.

I have to admit that Yingzi is right, falling in love is really fun.

By the way, I haven't bought back the gift for Lin Zhiyuan yet.

Let's take a stroll in China World Trade Center tomorrow.

Just what to buy?

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, Xiao Yu must not be asleep yet, right?
I sent a message via QQ, and within a few seconds I received a reply.

Zhang Xuejiao simply called her: "Your elder sister and I are in a relationship."

"What?"

Zhang Yuqiao was lying down, but when she heard this, she immediately jumped up: "Is it true?"

"Why lie to you? Today, I, Lin Zhiyuan, I, I kissed him."

No matter what the facts are, Zhang Xuejiao has to be very strong.

Anyway, I can't admit cowardice in front of Xiao Yu.

"Finally you've got the hang of it!" Zhang Yuqiao asked gossipingly, "How do you feel?"

"Don't tell you."

Zhang Yuqiao teased with a smile: "Brother Lin, you can heat up your rock."

"You are the rock!"

Although Zhang Yuqiao couldn't see it, Zhang Xuejiao still rolled her eyes: "Last time you said you would give me a belt or a wallet, but now that we are in a relationship, should you still give them?"

"You can send underwear."

"Huh?" Zhang Xuejiao believed it, "but I don't know his size."

Zhang Yuqiao happily rolled on the bed, her laughter was deafening.

Only then did Zhang Xuejiao understand: "Xiao Yu, do you want to die?"

Zhang Yuqiao stopped laughing, and pretended to be serious to give her advice: "You can measure it with your own hands and you'll know?"

"I won't tell you anymore, you hate it!"
