Having decided to obtain the marriage certificate first, Tang Zhicheng brought the betrothal gifts the next day.
With the arrival of the gifts, the courtyard erupted with excitement. It was Sunday, and except for Song Cuifen, who had to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, everyone else in the courtyard was at home.
When they saw the watches, sewing machines, meat, wine, sugar, and noodles that Tang Zhicheng had brought, everyone realized that Fangfei from the Ye family was getting married.
"Fangfei is getting married? What does that young man do?" Zhao Dachui, who was repairing his broken chair in the yard, looked at Tang Zhicheng and his companions.
Zhao Dachui had a loud voice, and with his shout, everyone who had been inside came out.
"What’s going on? Fangfei is getting married? Didn’t she just meet someone yesterday?" Wang Dazui said in surprise.
"How come we never heard about this before? The old Ye couple must be keeping things too secretive. If it weren’t for Old Zhao seeing it, we probably wouldn’t even know Fangfei was getting married," Liang Cunman added from behind.
At that moment, Ye Jianguo also came out. Seeing everyone gathered and talking, he smiled and took out some candy to share with everyone.
"Come on, everyone have some candy! My son-in-law has come to deliver the betrothal gifts! Enjoy some candy for good luck!" Ye Jianguo said while distributing the sweets.
"I say, Old Ye, what’s going on here? Your secrecy skills are impressive!"
"We didn’t receive any news at all; Fangfei is getting married just like that?" Liang Cunman remarked.
"It’s not that I wanted to keep it a secret; it’s just that things were decided so hastily that I didn’t have time to inform everyone," Ye Jianguo replied with a smile.
"What’s going on? Is there something else we don’t know?" Zhao Dachui, who was a few years older than Ye Jianguo and had seen more of life, immediately guessed there might be more to the story.
"Just a little something; it’s not convenient to say much right now. I’ll tell you all later," Ye Jianguo said with a smile.
Since he said so, they didn’t press further; after all, this was a matter of the Ye family, and they knew their boundaries.
"This young man seems spirited; he deserves Fangfei," Zhao Dachui remarked as he looked at Tang Zhicheng.
Ye Jianguo was also quite satisfied with Tang Zhicheng; he felt that although he might not be as good as his daughter deserved, he was still acceptable.
"Old Ye, which unit is this young man from? He stands tall and straight; he looks like he might be a soldier," Uncle Zhang, who lived in the main house, commented.
"Zhang Ge has sharp eyes; he just retired from the army. After leaving the service, he was assigned to drive for the transport team," Ye Jianguo explained.
While several men gathered around Ye Jianguo to chat, the women were busy talking to Hao Chunying and Hao Chunmei.
However, Hao Chunying didn’t have time to gossip with them; she was busy attending to her son-in-law.
"Sisters-in-law, I need to go back and attend to our guests; we can chat later when I have time." Saying this, she hurried back into the house.
Inside the room, Ye Zijun was welcoming Tang Zhicheng and his leader, who happened to be Ye Fangfei's uncle by marriage.
It was customary for a family elder to accompany the bride when delivering the dowry, but Tang Zhicheng's family couldn't make it from their hometown. In the end, he turned to his leader, who was also Ye Fangfei's uncle, Fang Changhai.
"Uncle, Xiao Tang, have some tea," Ye Zijun said as he served them.
Fang Changhai took a sip and handed the cup back to Ye Zijun, who quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, thank you, Brother."
After sitting down himself, Ye Zijun engaged in conversation with Tang Zhicheng and the others.
"Uncle, are you really going to separate the teams? Is that confirmed?" Ye Zijun asked.
"Yes, it's confirmed. We'll be separating next month; we're currently counting the numbers," Fang Changhai explained.
"Our team is small, and not many need housing. Fortunately, a few rooms have become available this time," he added.
"Once you get your marriage certificate, Xiao Tang will definitely get a room, right? If it's not certain, why rush to get the certificate? Can't it wait a bit longer?"
