Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1142: Agreement

After lunch, they sat down to drink tea, also waiting for a while as it was the teachers’ meal time at the school.

"Chengzi, are you going out again this year?" Mr. Li asked.

Chengzi shook his head. His sister-in-law was pregnant, and the elder brother definitely wouldn’t let her go out. Not to mention Minister He.

"No, not going out this year." Even next year is not certain.

"That’s good." After they get married, they won’t have to separate immediately.

It was the usual time for Li Xiaoyu to go to work. They left by bicycle.

Mrs. Li prepared a lot of candies, to distribute to colleagues at the school.

Everything went smoothly. Chengzi still sent Li Xiaoyu to her doorstep.

"I won’t go in, I’ll go find my elder sister-in-law. Let your elders know, if everything is fine there, I’ll come back to pick you up, and we’ll go home to have a look.

I tidy up every month, and there is furniture inside, see if anything is missing.

Xiao Yu, it would be best if Aunt Li goes with you, older people have more experience."

Huang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. She arrived at her doorstep. Chengzi watched her enter before driving away.

She returned home and found her parents, showing them the marriage report.

"Mom, Chengzi sent me back, but didn’t come in. He said if everything goes well there, he’ll come back to pick me up, and you should come along to see what the house might be missing."

Mrs. Li nodded, as things were already this way, there was no opposition anymore.

"It’s just too far from home. It won’t be convenient for you to get to work later."

"I know roughly where it is, it is indeed a bit far. If it’s not possible, I’ll see if I can transfer to a nearby school to work," Mr. Li said.

That’s all that can be done. "Xiao Yu, you also need to learn how to cook. Later you two will have to eat."

"Yes, just breakfast and dinner at home."

"Don’t take it lightly, I’m your mom. I can spoil you. Luckily you don’t have a mother-in-law. Otherwise, with your attitude, even if the man agrees, his family might not."

Li Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, "Alright, I know. I’ll start learning tonight. Actually, I don’t think it’s very complicated."

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her daughter, "You’re all talk. You seem to grasp it, but mess up when doing it."

Li Xiaoyu chuckled foolishly. She indeed should learn; the couple shouldn’t always eat at the canteen.

Chengzi returned excitedly and happened to see Secretary Xu in the office.

"Secretary Xu, please help me write a marriage application."

Secretary Xu pushed up his glasses, "For such a matter, you’re asking for my help?"

"Of course. It’s nothing major, just write it quickly. I’ll go find our boss, when I return, I’ll take it to have the minister sign it."

Secretary Xu laughed, "Sure, what’s the woman’s name?"

"Li Xiaoyu."

"Alright, you go ahead, I’ll have it ready by the time you return."

Chengzi went to Tan Shaoting’s office. Upon entering, he saw the boss reviewing a report.

Tan Shaoting looked at Chengzi’s smiling face, knowing something had succeeded.

"Boss, when will you have time to propose for me?"

"Tomorrow noon maybe. Going tonight doesn’t seem appropriate?"

"Okay, I understand. By the way, how is Da Biao?"

"My wife and I have gone to propose already. The wedding is set for this Saturday."

"That quickly? Looks like I also need to hurry up. Boss, can you set the date when you go?"

"Getting married together with Da Biao?"

"Not impossible. You all just need to take a trip to the garrison then."

"You’ve thought this through well."

Chengzi smiled cheekily, "Of course."

"Alright, we’ll talk tomorrow. Tomorrow’s already Thursday. Is the house ready?" Tan Shaoting knew his wife had arranged a house for Chengzi.

"I tidy it up once or twice every month. There’s furniture inside. I’ll have the sister-in-law sign and stamp it later, then take Li Xiaoyu to check it out."

"Alright, your idea is good. But does the Li Family agree? It’s only been a few days. They also have to inform their relatives."

"Haha, it’s best if it’s together. If not, it’s alright."

Chengzi returned, and Secretary Xu handed him the marriage report, "Take a look."

"Haha, how could I not trust Secretary Xu?" He said this while taking the report and heading into Su Yuanyuan’s office.

Her work had become less busy recently, but still equally hectic.

Seeing Chengzi enter, Su Yuanyuan put down her pen.

"Smoothly?"

"Very smoothly. Sister-in-law, this is the marriage report."

Su Yuanyuan glanced at it, already knowing it was Secretary Xu who wrote it.

"You really know how to make things easy."

"Haha. It’s okay. Secretary Xu writes so well.

Sister-in-law, I just went to the boss. Tomorrow noon, are you and the boss going to propose for me at the Li Family?"

"Okay." Su Yuanyuan signed and stamped it, handing it to Chengzi.

"Sister-in-law, then I’ll go to take Li Xiaoyu to see the house. I’m thinking about getting married at the garrison with Daqing."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, you don’t have to come to work these days, just get busy, I’ll also stay here."

Chengzi smiled and nodded, knowing he could take leave anytime he wanted.

This time, instead of cycling, he drove out.

He arrived at the Li Family again. Since he came by car, Mrs. Li and the two sisters-in-law came along.

"How did it go? Did the minister sign the report?" Li Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

"Yes, tomorrow noon the boss and sister-in-law will come to propose.

This noon, they went to propose for Da Biao, who sat with me."

Huang Xiaoyu nodded, "I still remember. Did they set the date?"

"This Saturday for the wedding at the garrison." Chengzi said, feeling envious.

"So quickly?"

"Quick? It’s alright. Anyway, there’s no extravagant celebration anymore, it’s still at the garrison.

I don’t know the specifics. I haven’t seen Da Biao yet."

Mrs. Li listened to their conversation from behind, astonished. It was indeed quite fast, but what Chengzi said was right. Extravagant celebrations aren’t possible right now.

Driving sure is faster. After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a gate.

This is a two-entry courtyard, frankly more spacious than the Li Family.

Mrs. Li was quite surprised. This house is indeed quite nice.

Chengzi opened the door and invited them in, "I haven’t tidied up this month yet."

Li Xiaoyu’s two sisters-in-law looked at the house, feeling envious; it’s where the nun lives.

They already felt lucky to marry into the Li Family, never imagining this orphan would have such a nice house.

Mrs. Li was also surprised, "Chengzi, is this house yours?"

Chengzi wasn’t annoyed by their skepticism.

"Yes, the property certificate is in my name, my sister-in-law purchased it and directly put it under my name."
