The atmosphere in the Zeng family has never been so cheerful.

The children got a lot of snacks and candies, and they were all laughing and making noises all over the room.

"Sister, is this a new watch you bought?" Zeng's second sister-in-law was sharp-eyed and immediately grabbed her sister-in-law's hand.

She also went to buy a watch when she got married. She had seen this brand before. She could buy the one she wears for three dollars for one dollar and still have some money left over.

"Yes, Chu Ran bought it for me."

The two sisters-in-law were so envious. The two girls also came over to take a look. Even if they didn't understand, they could tell that this was a really good thing.

Chu Ran sat next to the Zeng couple.

"Uncle and aunt, we will go back to Wu County to get the marriage certificate. We will pick you up at a confirmed time. Also, I don't know how much betrothal gifts are required for marriages here. In fact, I don't know even for other places. How much should I give?"

Zeng's father smiled and said, "No need, didn't you buy a watch for Xiaoya?"

Chu Ran shook his head. "That's different. Just do what needs to be done. We are on an evening train, and I plan to buy the betrothal gifts in the afternoon. I should do everything I can for Xiaoya."

Zeng's mother smiled and said, "We have all kinds of money here, from ten to twenty dollars. We don't have any more than that. As for the cabinets, fabrics, and mirrors, don't buy them, or you will have to take them back."

Chu Ran understood. "Okay, I'll go buy fabric this afternoon."

"You've already brought the fabric, haven't you? You don't have to buy it. Just give me ten dollars."

Chu Ran shook his head. "That's not the case. We've already bought all the things we needed to buy, so we won't take them back. It's not easy for you to raise Xiaoya, so we'll just use them at home."

Zeng Liya was very touched when she heard this. She looked at her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, just do as Chu Ran said. I'm just asking you to take your brother with you to prepare."

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't have to go to work today."

The women happily went to cook, and the men discussed what to buy.

"We go out and buy it with great fanfare to let those gossipers know that our Xiaoya has found a good man who treats her well." The second brother of the Zeng family said firmly.

Chu Ran nodded. He also had this idea. Although they had severed their relationship, few people knew about it now. He knew that his future daughter-in-law valued family. The people in their family were indeed good. Even though they had a bad reputation, they were still very good to her. This made it worth it for him to be good to them.

Zeng's father also nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Braised pork is prepared for dinner. The couple just came back and bought a large piece of meat at the market just to entertain the brother-in-law.

In the kitchen, Zeng's mother told her daughter to make sure she treated Chu Ran well.

"It's also about being good together as a couple. He should protect you well, and you should also be good to him. Only then will the relationship between husband and wife be good."

"Mom, I know. Don't worry. I will live a good life."

"Sister, you are getting married in these few days, right? I don't have any vacation time, so I can't skip work even if I want to." Zeng's eldest sister-in-law said in embarrassment.

"Me too. I asked for leave this morning, but our director told me that I couldn't take leave before the New Year." Zeng Ersao was also in a difficult situation.

"It's okay. I'll go over there later. It's really nice there. There are a lot of Russian things."

"Your eldest brother can't go either, and it's really unreasonable for us not to go to our eldest sister's wedding."

Zeng Liya shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. I haven't really thought about it. The main reason is that Chu Ran is not suitable for being high-profile. You can save up your vacation time next year and wait until summer is over to see."

"Okay, I'll definitely save up my vacation time and go visit you then."

"Mom, if you and my dad can't take time off, you don't have to go. I'm worried that you will feel uncomfortable sitting on the train. Just wait for me to come and see you."

Everyone must be busy at the end of the year. Work is so tight now, and I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and lose my job. "Okay, your father and I won't go either. Let your two sisters and brother go over to take a look." Parents don't have to attend their daughter's wedding.

After resting for a while, the two brothers of Zeng family followed Chu Ran out to buy the betrothal gifts. The two brothers told everyone they met that they were taking their eldest brother-in-law to buy the betrothal gifts.

Although it was very cold, the news that Zeng Liya was going to get married spread very quickly.

People with malicious intentions would say that they want to see if Zeng Liya’s man can escape.
Well-meaning people all say that Zeng Liya is finally going to get married, and they all hope that she will be happy.

Anyway, no matter what others say, the Zeng family is very happy.

After buying all the betrothal gifts, Chu Ran gave the Zeng couple 100 yuan, saying clearly that the money was for the two elderly people.

In the evening, Zeng's mother gave the eldest daughter 200 yuan. "Dad and mom won't prepare anything for you. Just accept these things. I'll give you the money. Buy whatever you need when you return to Wu County."

"Mom, I don't want money."

"Silly girl, I don't know, you send back 20 yuan a month, what will you have left in your hands? You don't have to send money to your father and us in the future.

Chu Ran is a good person, it's not that your parents are afraid of trouble. For your own good and for the sake of a peaceful life at home, don't have any contact with us in public. You can just come back to see us secretly in the future."

Zeng Liya nodded with red eyes, "Okay, I'm sorry to make my family feel embarrassed."

"Silly girl, what's the problem? Your father and I both hope that you can live a good life. My daughter's first half of life was not smooth, but she will definitely be happy in the second half."

We braised pork and made dumplings in the evening. The children were really reluctant to let their aunt and uncle go after they knew they were leaving.

It was decided at the dinner table that the three children would take a bus there two days later, also at this time, and Chu Ran would pick them up at the train station.

Chu Ran and Zeng's father were in the same room, the environment was quiet, and the two men talked a lot. They all talked about Zeng Liya's childhood and her great strength.

Zeng's mother never tired of instructing her daughter on how to get along with her husband and how to live a good life in the future.

They refused their family's offer to send them to the train station, and the two just walked there.

After getting on the train, Zeng Liya looked out the window.

"Don't worry, come back and see your family if you miss them."

“I will try to come back less often in the future.”

"it does not matter."

"Chu Ran. I will definitely live a good life with you in the future."

"I know you are a good girl, and I believe you will live a good life."

"Ah."

There are no sleeper berths, only hard seats. It is very lucky to have a seat at this time.

Chu Ran let Zeng Liya sleep leaning against him.

"I'm not sleepy at all now. Go to sleep and I'll watch you perform the ceremony."

"It doesn't matter to me. Staying up at night is no big deal to me. Go to sleep. You have another train tomorrow."

Neither of them fell asleep, and they were too embarrassed to talk, mainly because all the passengers in the carriage were sleeping at that time. After a while, Zeng Liya fell asleep leaning against Chu Ran.
