Chapter 113 The two meet
When Zheng Lin came to Sang's house, Sang's house had only Sangye collected dried clothes and bedding in the yard. Others either went to the workshop to help dig wells, or took a bag of melon seeds to take a walk in the village, or asked someone for advice on how to do it with needles and threads. Even a few children ran to play crazy.
Seeing the bag on Zheng Lin's back, Sang Ye Chuqiu's joy of seeing him gradually solidified on his face. In his calm tone, he inadvertently showed a bit of resentment: "Didn't you say you'll leave after getting engaged? Why did you change your mind again?"
Zheng Lin walked forward and said guiltily: "I'm sorry I just received the urgent news, so I have to ride a fast horse to the mansion before it will dark tomorrow. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be willing to leave now anyway."
Sang Ye took a deep breath, and the question that had been hanging in his heart for a long time was not suppressed. He still asked: "Can you tell me what the message you received this time? Is it really just a simple helping your friends find someone?"
She did not doubt the man's feelings for her, and she also believed that if it were not forbidden to, he would not have left at such an important moment, but because of this, she did not believe that he was really just leaving for helping his friends.
Zheng Lin could not reveal his identity and mission, but he did not want to make up lies to deceive the woman in front of him who was about to become his fiancée. He could only say: "I can't tell you what that matters now, but one day I will tell you all my secrets, and this day I won't let you wait for a long time."
Sang Ye looked at Zheng Lin calmly, and finally confirmed that this man was like her, hiding an indescribable secret. Just like her, he kept the secret and told no one, but was just protecting them from harm in his own way.
"I won't ask if you have any difficulties." Sang Ye nodded in understanding, and did not ask any further questions. He asked another question he wanted to know: "Then you have to tell me whether there is any danger in this trip and when will you come back?"
Zheng Lin almost breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a warm smile for the woman's concern: "This time is the same task as the last time, and there will be no danger. As for when to come back, it is not certain yet, but I will definitely come back before the New Year."
Sang Ye accurately grasped the word "task". This is a situation that only occurs when superiors and subordinates. Could it be that this man who is about to become her fiancé is a member of a secret organization?
Almost subconsciously, Sang Ye's mind was filled with various dark organizations that he had heard of in his previous life and learned from the Internet, such as anti-human terrorist organizations, criminal organizations that manipulate begging gangs, and fraudulent organizations that defraud others of money. Which organization does this man belong to?
Zheng Lin didn't know that someone had a big brain. If he hadn't had a straight and upright temperament and a very positive outlook on his three views, he would have been very likely to be included in a "black meeting" similar to the previous life.
Seeing Sang Ye's face changing, Zheng Lin, who didn't want to waste any time, raised his hand and touched her face, and asked in confusion: "What are you thinking?"
Sang Ye came to his senses and shook his head quickly: "I didn't think anything, I just felt that I would have to wait a long time to see you, so I felt uncomfortable."
This is not a casual remark. It has just entered the twelfth lunar month and it will take more than 20 days to reach the end of the month. It has been too long for those who are in love.
Zheng Lin's expression became dark, and his hands gently embraced the woman's shoulder: "It's soon, I won't be like this soon." When he found the whereabouts of the two people, he would be together all the time in a year or two and would never be separated again.
Sang Ye nodded, and she didn't know what else she could say except nodding. Who made her fall in love with such a person!
The time for reunion is always short. The two of them sat on the steps at the door and talked quietly for a while. Zheng Lin was about to leave. Before leaving, he took the dagger from his waist and placed it solemnly in Sang Ye's hand: "This is my token of confidants. When you go out, you will take it with you, just like I am always by your side to protect you."
"Who wants you to protect yourself?" Sang Ye angrily, and was speechless. He wanted to say that the tokens of his confidants were all bracelets and hairpins. Why did he turn into a dagger when he arrived here?
But she was a sensible person and saw that this was not an ordinary dagger, which was definitely a very important thing for men, so she happily took it:
I have taken the stuff, but if you don’t come back on time, don’t blame me for marrying someone else with the token you gave me.”
Zheng Lin's face changed, and his hand holding Sang Ye couldn't help but tighten a little, and his words were unprecedentedly domineering: "If you accept my things, I will depend on you in this life and I will never give you a chance to marry someone else!"
Sang Ye rolled his eyes and rubbed the dagger without thinking about this guy who had obviously not drunk but became a second-rate guy.
Zheng Lin refused to let her go, spread her hands and said with confidence: "Your token!"
When Sang Ye heard this, he was embarrassed and whispered: "My mother has only prepared the tokens for your family tomorrow. If I give them to you today, what will my family give you when your parents come to me tomorrow?"
The token of a close relative must be exchanged with each other under the witness of the matchmaker. If one party regrets the marriage in the future, the token will be returned to the other party. The party who repented will compensate the party who was repented, otherwise the party who was repented may not have to return the token. This is a current protection measure for marriage.
Realizing that she was too weak in front of the man, Sang Ye didn't think it was her fault that she had not prepared other tokens. She shook the dagger in her hand and said with confidence: "Who knows you can't wait to leave today, so you can give me this alone? Anyway, I don't have to give you the token, so you can do it yourself!"
When Zheng Lin heard this, his face became bad, and his eyes staring at Sang Ye were a little aggrieved: "In other words, you didn't prepare the token for me? Even the token you want to use tomorrow was not prepared by you?"
When Sang Ye heard this, he couldn't help but become weak again. His eyes were floating around and he didn't dare to look at Zheng Lin's eyes: "I don't understand these things, they were all arranged by my mother! Besides, the token was the money I paid, so it was my preparation, right?"
Zheng Lin took a deep breath, feeling that if he was still entangled, he must be the one who was angry to death. He seemed to be his fault, and he was completely unreasonable and wanted to send the token alone, and asked others to give him the same.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Although there is no token, I have prepared something else for you, so I'll make up for it!" Sang Ye couldn't see the man like this, and as he spoke, he got up and walked into the room.
When Zheng Lin heard this, she immediately smiled like a change of face. She didn't even think about getting up and following her.
Sang Ye took out two pairs of new shoes from the closet and stuffed them into Zheng Lin's hand: "These are shoes I drove out overnight. I originally wanted to wear them for you tomorrow when you go out, but now I will give them to you in advance." As he said that, he showed his fingers that were red and swollen when they were overly cunted.
Seeing this, Zheng Lin was not happy and hurriedly put down the shoes in his hand and held the woman's hand and looked at it. Seeing that his fingers were not only swollen, but also had four or five red pinholes, he felt very distressed as if the needle was pierced in his heart: "Don't make shoes for me again in the future. If you really want to send them, go to the street to buy ready-made ones, and I will think it was made by you."
Sang Ye chuckled and thought the man became cute again: "It doesn't matter. If you don't do it for you, you have to do it for others in the family. If you do it a few more times, you will be proficient and won't be as thrust as you are now."
I started learning shoes after returning to Sang's house. In the past, I only sewed cracked clothes at most, so I didn't do it smoothly. This was the result of her learning with her mother and sister-in-law for several months, which was much better than when she started.
Zheng Lin wanted to say something, Sang Ye quickly changed the subject and urged: "I don't know how big your feet are. These two pairs of shoes are made of. You can try it if you can wear them."
After being pressed on a chair by the woman, Zheng Lin had to try her shoes honestly.
Maybe I just made it, the upper was not fully expanded, and I finally stuffed my feet in, but it was very tight and not very comfortable.
"How about it, is it appropriate to wear?" Sang Ye asked quickly. If the shoes were too changed, they could only be left to those who could wear them at home.
Zheng Lin stood up and walked a few steps, looking normal: "It's very suitable, so comfortable that I don't want to take it off."
Sang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and swept away the depression he had been ridiculed by his mother and sister-in-law before: "It is suitable for no size. It seems that I still have some talent."
Zheng Lin smiled and said with great face: "I am indeed very talented. For example, I have been in the military camp for a few years, and I can cook and sew clothes, but I can't make shoes."
When Mangye heard this, he was shocked
Surprise: "You know how to cook and sew clothes?" Didn't you say that gentleman stayed away from the kitchen? Neither her father nor two brothers would go to the kitchen to cook!
Zheng Lin smiled and said, "Cooking rice can only produce some simple meals. If you sew clothes, you can barely wear them, but you won't be able to embroider or something."
But Sang Ye felt very satisfied and boasted with a smile: "My vision is indeed good. I found a hall, a kitchen, and could beat a gangster's fiancé."
"Is this praising me or yourself?" Zheng Lin was very helpless, but he was very helpful in his heart, but it would be even better when he could turn his "fiance" into a "husband".
Before he knew it, time passed again. Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to leave. Zheng Lin felt extremely reluctant. He hugged Sang Ye hard, and turned around and forced himself to leave the Sang family.
Sang Ye leaned against the door frame and watched the tall figure go further and further away. The bitterness in her heart became stronger and stronger, and the longing came like a flood, making her wish she could go with him and go anywhere as long as there was no separation.
No one knew how long the mulberry leaves stood at the door. When Mu came back, he saw his daughter standing foolishly at the door drinking the northwest wind. Her white and tender face was frozen purple-red. She stepped forward and pulled her for a while and almost fell to the ground. She even had her legs numb and couldn't walk.
"You girl, are you stupid? What if it gets frozen?" Mu helped Sangye walk into the house, muttering constantly.
Sang Ye smiled bitterly, and mentioned the fact that Zheng Lin had been here and went on a long journey, and also mentioned the matter of the Zheng family's division.
When he heard that the Zheng family had really split up and the house was still the future son-in-law, Mu laughed and kept praising: "A Lin is indeed a courageous child, worthy of being a person who does big things. You are just lucky. You don't have to worry about having a bad relationship with your sister-in-law when you marry in the future."
"Yes, how can the people you always value?" Sang Ye praised her as if she was honey on her mouth, and she agreed with her mother's words. She was not afraid of living under the same roof with the Zheng family, but who would still be willing to live with her peaceful life?
However, the point is not that guy is away from home. Can't he come tomorrow for the engagement day? Why doesn't her mother pay attention to it at all?
Sang Ye thought his mother hadn't understood it, so he reminded him: "Mom, Brother Zheng is out for a long time, which means he won't come tomorrow."
"I know, I know, it's not a big deal if I don't come. As long as his parents come over," Mu said indifferently. Then she thought her daughter was sad and abused herself just now, so she persuaded: "A Lin is a person who wants to do big things. If you leave this time, it's not that you don't care about you, so don't think about it."
"Mom, you're thinking too much, I didn't think too much." Sang Ye was speechless. She just couldn't bear to think about it any more? Is she the kind of person who doesn't know the general?
Well, she is indeed! If she can, she really wants to force people to stay and participate in their first major day together, and she doesn't want any dissatisfaction or regrets.
"It's good to not think too much. If you have this time, it's better to think about how to leave a good impression on the two elders of the Zheng family tomorrow, so as not to dislike you, marry you in the future."
Mu taught her daughter in a tone of a person who has experienced it. She was not worried that there would be more daughters in the future, but she was afraid that the two elders of the Zheng family would look down on their daughter's widows and would be troubled when their daughter passed by in the future.
"No, there are not many people like your daughter who are good-looking and capable. Even if the two elders of the Zheng family are biased against me, they can still see my character over time and will fall in love with me as their daughter-in-law." Sang Ye continued to boast with shameless face, not wanting his mother to worry about her affairs.
"Puff, you girl, are you really not polite. Are you praising yourself like this?" Mu smiled indeed, and even with the worries just now, he went a lot.
"Of course there is, isn't I?" Sang Ye continued to play with his treasure, not knowing what his face was in front of his mother: "Anyway, don't worry, your daughter is so smart, there will definitely be a way for them to fall in love with."
Mu almost couldn't listen to such shameless self-proclaiming, and waved his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, mom won't worry, just be sure you have success in your heart."
After this disturbance, the mulberry leaves felt much more relaxed, and the sorrow of parting became much weaker.
Only in front of her relatives, she
She is increasingly revealing her true nature, unlike the years after her parents died in her previous life, she has been living with a mask. Over time, sometimes she can't tell which one is her true self.
The next day, the Sang family got up early in the morning and began to clean the house and prepare for a banquet to welcome the two elders of the Zheng family who were about to come to the door.
To show respect, Old Man Zheng and Meng also got up early. After breakfast, they went out with their tokens for marriage. They remembered Zheng Lin's explanation and did not want people to know that Zheng Sang's family got married, so they let the matchmaker walk in front and follow behind them, so as not to be difficult to explain when they meet the early villagers.
Fortunately, the villagers got up late in the winter, so they did not meet anyone even after they left the village. However, after arriving in Lijia Village, they met several 66.
However, they didn't know each other, and even if they saw it, it didn't have any obstacles. So the two elders of the Zheng family followed the matchmaker who had already inquired about the good road ahead and came straight to the Sang family.
The gate of the Sang family opened very early, and the whole family was waiting in the main hall. Seeing the two elders of the Zheng family and the matchmaker walking in, they quickly got up to greet them.
Taking advantage of the greetings, Meng had already determined which of the three young women in front of her was her son's engagement today. She took Sang Ye's hand intimately and asked kindly: "You are Xiao Ye, you look good and have a good temperament. Looks like a smart girl, she is better than me to raise children!"
The last sentence was obviously said to Mu. God knows that in order to leave a good impression on this prospective in-laws, Meng has practiced this kind of flattery many times, because he is afraid that he will accidentally ruin his son's marriage at the critical moment.
"Where is it, Sister Meng has won the award. A Lin is really good. All of them are better than my two incompetent sons!" Mu was also cautious when he met for the first time. Seeing Meng praised her daughter like this, she was very happy, and she praised Zheng Lin, the prospective son-in-law, without hesitation.
