Xu Jiahang walked out of Yang Xiaowei's dormitory and found that the lights were still on in the cafeteria. Principal Li and Zhang Tianming were still chatting inside. Through the window, he found that Zhang Tianming had been staring at him. Xu Jiahang walked over and opened the door of the cafeteria.
"College Li, why don't you take a break?" Xu Jiahang asked with a smile.
"Not yet, Jiahang, are you going back?" Principal Li stood up and asked.
"Yes, I'm back!" Xu Jiahang said.
"Why don't you come in and sit for a while and warm yourself by the fire? It's quite cold outside." Principal Li said.
Xu Jiahang thought for a moment that Yang Xiaowei's collapse might have something to do with people in the school. He was the person involved and he had to talk to them, so he walked in and sat down next to the brazier.
"Xiao Li, are you and your uncle still drinking together?" Xu Jiahang asked.
"Not much anymore. Now that I'm old, I'm not as energetic as before. Now I come to school on Monday, and except for meetings, I almost never leave the school until Friday." Principal Li said, "Is your uncle okay?"
"Fortunately, now that I no longer work as a principal, I am free and waiting to retire next year!" Xu Jiahang said.
"Oh, it's good. I will retire next year. In fact, if a teacher can retire safely and enjoy life, that will be the most successful!" Principal Li said.
Xu Jiahang and Zhang Tianming both asked in unison: "Why?"
"Haha, everyone thinks that teachers just teach and are with students every day, which is very relaxing. Only we know that many teachers are sick all over the body and will die within a few years of retirement. Some teachers even retire. I can’t survive it,” Principal Li said.
"It's true that a few days ago, the teacher from the school next door suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at night and died. He was in his fifties." Zhang Tianming answered.
"There are too many examples of this, and they happen every year. Xiao Zhang, you are a teacher. You have to learn to adjust your mentality and don't get into trouble! Students can't teach you, so change your mind!" Principal Li said to Zhang Tianming.
"Haha, Principal Li, I have a good attitude, but Yang Xiaowei is often annoyed by students." After Zhang Tianming finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaowei.
"She is still young, and her mentality may become more stable in a few years." After Principal Li finished speaking, he also looked at Xu Jiahang and said, "Jiahang, as a teacher's family member, you must be more tolerant and understanding of her in the future!"
Xu Jiahang scratched his head and said, "College Li, what's wrong with Yang Xiaowei today? I feel very bad!"
Principal Li looked at Xu Jiahang and said, "I criticized you. How can a girl fall in love with Xiao Zhang here and marry you there?"
Xu Jiahang was a little embarrassed. Yang Xiaowei told him that she had to rely on Zhang Tianming in this remote place, so he and Zhang Tianming were pretending to be a couple.
Xu Jiahang stood up, gave Zhang Tianming and Principal Li a cigarette each, and said to Zhang Tianming: "Hello, my name is Xu Jiahang. Thank you for taking care of Yang Xiaowei in the past. Let me take care of her in the future!"
Zhang Tianming also stood up and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Tianming. As colleagues and friends, we take care of each other and we will do the same in the future."
The two hands were clasped tightly, both secretly exerting force. Principal Li saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere, put his hand on the two clasped hands, and said: "Okay, okay, we have known each other from now on. You are of the same age and have many friends." Multiple paths.”
The two shook off each other's hands, and Xu Jiahang said: "Yang Xiaowei and I will hold a wedding in a few days, and we will invite everyone to a wedding banquet. As for taking care of it, I will apply for Yang Xiaowei to be transferred to the army after the wedding, so I won't bother with this in the future." A brother took care of me!"
Zhang Tianming was stunned. He knew that Yang Xiaowei was about to be transferred away after getting married. He was also surprised that Yang Xiaowei got married so suddenly. He had never seen her in love before.
Now, Zhang Tianming finally understood that a transfer could make Yang Xiaowei accept the humiliation and convince him that he lost. He did not have this ability, but he could not show it in front of Zhang Tianming now.
"Congratulations, we will definitely attend the wedding as Yang Xiaowei's natal family, but there are many uncertainties in the transfer of capital. Don't say it too early. Maybe I will continue to take care of Yang Xiaowei for you." Zhang Tianming explain
Xu Jiahang felt the provocation in Zhang Tianming's words, and he wanted to retaliate, but he held back. To put it bluntly, Yang Xiaowei was also in a fake marriage, and he was no better than Zhang Tianming.
"Then thank you brother, Principal Li. I hope you will take good care of Xiaowei while she is here!" Xu Jiahang turned to Principal Li and said.
"It should be, it should be, you are all like my children. Although Xiao Zhang calls me Brother Li, I am already his father's age. You young people are still affectionate and loving now. I am really envious. !" Principal Li said with a smile.
Xu Jiahang felt that there was no need to stay any longer. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to the two of them and went home.
When Zhang Tianming returned home, it was already very late, but her parents were still awake, sitting in the living room waiting for her.
"It's dawn, why don't you go to Yang Xiaowei's school at night? The road there is not good. Ever since you rode out, we have been frightened!" Yang Damei's expression softened when she saw Xu Jiahang coming back.
"Dad, Mom, I'm an adult now, don't worry, I will take care of my own safety!" Xu Jiahang said.
"Jiahang, my parents want to ask you, since you and Yang Xiaowei have obtained the certificate and your wedding leave is not long, what do you think is the appropriate wedding ceremony?" Xu Guoqing said.
Xu Jiahang smiled and said: "Originally, I thought we wouldn't have to do it and we would get married on a trip, but I know that if I don't get married with relatives and friends, I might not be able to explain it, so I listen to you and do whatever you say!"
When Yang Damei heard what her son said, tears instantly flowed down her face. She was so sensible and had such an excellent son. She should have a better person to match her. Why did she choose a woman like Yang Xiaowei?
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Xu Jiahang hurriedly walked over and hugged his mother.
"No, son, mom is happy to see you are getting married!" Yang Damei wiped her tears quickly.
"Jiahang, I asked someone to check the date. Since you are tight on time, I decided to schedule it for next Saturday. What do you think? There is still a week left!" Xu Guoqing said.
"Okay, listen to your parents!" Xu Jiahang said.
"As for Yang Xiaowei's family, do you think we should hurry up and pay the betrothal gift?" Xu Guoqing said.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaowei said no, just let us do it!" Xu Jiahang said.
"How about that? No matter what, we have to meet her family, right?" Yang Damei said.
"It's okay. I was in too much of a hurry this time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Xu Jiahang said.
"Is her family coming over?" Xu Guoqing asked.
"Don't come. Her home is quite far away, and her family doesn't seem to be very wealthy. It's quite a hassle to come!" Xu Jiahang said.
"What does her family do?" Yang Damei asked.
"Farmer, my uncle must know more than me!" Xu Jiahang said with a smile.
"What a fool. After marrying her, you don't even know what she does!" Yang Damei poked his head and said.
"Mom, I married her, not her family. Why do I know so much?" Xu Jiahang said.
"Silly boy, marriage is the union of two families, how can you not understand?" Yang Damei was a little annoyed.
Xu Jiahang hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy, then went into the house to sleep. Yang Damei was still worried and called her brother to find out Yang Xiaowei's background.
"Brother, do you know what's going on in Yang Xiaowei's family?" Yang Damei asked.
"I'm not sure about this. She rarely talks about family affairs. She seems to have a younger brother. I heard her say that his father passed away not long ago!" Principal Yang said.
"Dead? Then the family conditions are not very good!" Yang Damei said.
"It may be a little difficult, what's wrong?" Principal Yang asked.
"I said you have to get to know the girl's parents when getting married. Let's hire three matchmakers and six. Jiahang said no, and Yang Xiaowei's family won't come either. What do you think this is?" Yang Damei complained to her brother.
Principal Yang thought for a moment and said: "This is easy to understand. Her father just passed away. How can her mother and brother come to the wedding? They certainly can't hold banquets in their place. Forget it, don't worry about these things, as long as As long as Jiahang likes it, according to our local customs, weddings cannot be held within three years of the death of parents! Maybe they Han people also have Han culture!"
"Then this Yang Xiaowei is really unfilial. She got married just after her father passed away!" Yang Damei muttered.
"Hey, no one can say anything about feelings, so don't worry about it, and be considerate to her. Otherwise, if they really use this as an excuse to stop the matter, I'll see where you put your face!" Principal Yang said.
"Yes, yes, yes, Jiahang's marriage should not be hasty and should be done in a grand manner. After all, I only have this one son. Although Caifeng is also at home, she may go back with Duan Yu one day!" Yang Damei Busy talking.
After making up their mind, Yang Damei and Xu Guoqing began to make arrangements for their marriage. Although the time was short, the Xu family was a big family in the village and Xu Guoqing was the village chief, so it was quick to get things done.
In a blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived. Xu Jiahang specially rented a wedding car and wedding dress from the county. Although Li Yinxia had some objections to Yang Xiaowei that day, she was older than Yang Xiaowei after all. She knew that Yang Xiaowei was going to have a wedding, and the three people in the school were all members of her family. , waiting at school for Xu Jiahang to marry Yang Xiaowei.
Early in the morning, Li Yinxia helped Yang Xiaowei hire people from the village who specialized in wedding makeup for villagers. After putting on makeup, Yang Xiaowei put on her wedding dress and sat in the dormitory waiting for Xu Jiahang.
"Xiaowei, are you nervous?" Li Yinxia asked.
"Nervous, Sister Li, I feel like I'm shaking a little. I don't know if it's because of the cold!" Yang Xiaowei said.
"It's a bit cold today, put a coat on top of your wedding dress!" Li Yinxia said, picking up the red coat Zhang Tianming bought for Yang Xiaowei and putting it on.
"Sister Li, you can go with me later!" Yang Xiaowei said.
"No, it's not appropriate for us to go!" Li Yinxia said with evasive eyes.
"Sister Li, you are like my mother-in-law. If you don't go, I won't be able to cope with this kind of situation by myself!" Yang Xiaowei held Li Yinxia's hand tightly and said.
"I...I..." Li Yinxia wanted to say that she couldn't go, but seeing Yang Xiaowei's earnest eyes, she swallowed it.
Over the years, she has never been to that village again. At first, she left as if running away and married Principal Li. Now, the person Yang Xiaowei is marrying is Xu Guoqing. If she goes, how will she face it? Will Yang Damei? It would embarrass her, and these are all things she has to consider.
Zhang Tianming and Principal Li also came to the door of Yang Xiaowei's dormitory. Zhang Tianming was shocked. Yang Xiaowei, wearing a white wedding dress, was so noble and beautiful. And this woman was going to become someone else's bride today. They would never see her again in the future. It was impossible for them to meet each other. Thinking of this made him feel very empty.
"Xiaowei, bless you!" Principal Li said.
"Thank you, Principal Li. You can also come with me. I have also told Sister Li!" Yang Xiaowei said.
"Okay, go, I must go, we will be your family today! I haven't had a drink with Principal Yang for a long time. I want to have a good drink with him today!" Principal Li said.
"Zhang Tianming, you can go too!" Yang Xiaowei said.
The muscles on Zhang Tianming's face trembled a few times and he said: "I...I won't go. There is no one in the school today. I will guard the school!"
"What school are you guarding? We're going together today, Saturday!" Principal Li said.
Zhang Tianming wanted to say something else, but he swallowed it back, forget it, go, otherwise he would be uneasy in school alone!
At around nine o'clock, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers and noise outside the school, and Zhang Tianming came to pick up Yang Xiaowei.
A group of people crowded into the school. The school has never been as lively as today. Li Yinxia took Yang Xiaowei and handed it to Xu Jiahang, saying: "Xu Jiahang, Yang Xiaowei's parents are not here. I will say a few words to you on behalf of her parents. Xiao Wei is a good girl, you should cherish her, cherish her, and love her!"
Li Yinxia shed tears as she spoke, as if she was marrying her daughter.
"Don't worry, I will treat her well!" Xu Jiahang said, looking at Yang Xiaowei. Today, Yang Xiaowei is so beautiful. He is a little dazed. Today, Yang Xiaowei is really his bride.
Yang Xiaowei looked at Zhang Jiahang. Zhang Jiahang today was wearing a wife's suit, standing straight and straight. Yang Xiaowei suddenly felt that if it was true, then she would be willing to do it!
Amidst the roar of the crowd, Zhang Jiahang carried Yang Xiaowei on his back and got into the wedding car. In order to prevent the wedding from happening on the road, Zhang Jiahang did not call his friends from the village. The people who came were all relatives at home.
When they arrived at Xu Jiahang's house, it was full of guests and lively. According to local customs, Yang Xiaowei and Xu Jiahang paid homage to their parents, toasted to relatives and friends, then sat in the new house, brought a table of food to them, and ate with Li Yinxia.
Li Yinxia looked outside. Xu Guoqing was busy and did not notice her arrival. Yang Damei was wearing bright red clothes today and was beaming with joy.
"Sister Li, what's wrong with you? Eat something quickly, you must be starving today!" Yang Xiaowei said when she saw Li Yinxia looking outside in concentration.
"Okay, okay!" Li Yinxia responded.
