Chapter 29

Half a lifetime of happiness…

Shen Cheng wanted to punch Jiang Pengyu: “Are you still obsessed with getting me married? You haven’t even wiped your own ass clean.”

“I’m serious.”

Jiang Pengyu grabbed Shen Cheng’s arm: “My cousin is of marriageable age, she’s really well-behaved, except for being a bit dark, chubby, and short, she’s really flawless. You don’t have a partner anyway, why don’t you meet her?”

In Jiang Pengyu’s eyes, Shen Cheng wasn’t the kind of shallow person who only cared about appearances, so he thought of introducing his cousin to him.

He hadn’t been that enthusiastic about it originally, but his second aunt had called him recently, asking him to find a partner for his cousin.

After thinking about it, he really thought Shen Cheng was the only suitable candidate.

The rest of his words were too noisy, and he had already said them once before.

Shen Cheng walked forward quickly, finally unable to hold back, he turned around and punched him: “Are you annoying me?”

Jiang Pengyu immediately stepped back, dodging in time.

He looked at him suspiciously: “You don’t think my cousin is ugly, do you?”

Shen Cheng didn’t bother to answer him.

Jiang Pengyu thought he had admitted it, and angrily pointed at him: “Old Shen, Old Shen, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”

Shen Cheng didn’t reply, Jiang Pengyu felt bored and wanted to persuade him again: “Are you really not going to consider it?”

What answered him was Shen Cheng’s indifferent back.

Jiang Pengyu was quite helpless.

Li Wen smiled and followed behind him: “Captain Jiang, don’t make things difficult for our Captain Shen, forget about your sister, even the beautiful woman who saved his life, he’s not interested in her.”

“Saved his life?” Jiang Pengyu became interested, and asked with a gossip-filled face: “What’s the story?”

“Well, that day, it was pouring rain…”

…

Shen Cheng arrived at the old leader’s office: “Report!”

Zhao, the brigade commander, was happy to hear Shen Cheng’s voice.

“Come in.”

Shen Cheng pushed the door open, his expression serious: “Brigade Commander, you called me back urgently, is there something urgent?”

“It’s not urgent anymore.” Zhao, the brigade commander, said with a smile.

Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow.

Zhao, the brigade commander, said: “Pengyu came back before you, he’s already taken care of it.”

Shen Cheng nodded: “Then there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the dormitory.”

“Wait…”

Zhao, the brigade commander, stopped him, walked around the office, and patted his shoulder: “Shen Cheng…”

As soon as this address came out, Shen Cheng understood, okay, it’s time for personal matters.

He was about to find an excuse to slip away, but Zhao, the brigade commander, grabbed his collar tightly.

“Your dad called me, you know. Your dad was my old leader, he asked me as a personal favor, how could I refuse?”

His father?

Shen Cheng already knew what it was about.

From Jiang Pengyu to his parents to the old leader, everyone was obsessed with getting him married?

Sure enough, the next second, Zhao, the brigade commander, said: “Your mom asked me to introduce you to a girl, someone from the art troupe will be coming over soon…”

“The art troupe is quite free.”

Since it was a private conversation, Shen Cheng didn’t care about the hierarchy, he interrupted Zhao, the brigade commander, unceremoniously, and said directly: “Tell my dad, it’s impossible, don’t even think about it, I won’t get married.”

“Hey, you kid, why are you so stubborn?” Zhao, the brigade commander, was furious.

Shen Cheng had already gone out.

He didn’t go directly back to the dormitory, but went to the training ground.

He ran the 400-meter obstacle course in just 1 minute and 20 seconds.

Shen Cheng didn’t stop, he ran back and forth several times, until his whole body was sweating and his breath was heavy.

On a cold day, he was shirtless, his muscles were strong and powerful, his chest rose and fell with strength and power.

Shen Cheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, rested for a while, and didn’t care about the dirt, he just lay flat on the sand.

Marriage…

When this thought flashed through his mind, he inexplicably saw those beautiful eyes in his mind.

But he could only think about it, he was destined not to get married in this life.

Even if she wasn’t a little girl, but someone his age, it wouldn’t work.

No one knew what he had lost during that border mission.

–

On the other side, Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue found Zhang Lingling, the wife of the village chief’s son.

As soon as Zhang Lingling heard them mention the sewing machine, she frowned, hesitating how to refuse.

The next second, Jiang Nianzi said: “Sister-in-law Ling, we’re renting your sewing machine, we’ll give you five yuan a month, what do you think? If you need to use the machine in the middle, you can come to our house to use it for a while, but you can’t use it for too long.”

Five yuan?

Zhang Lingling’s eyes lit up immediately: “You’re giving me five yuan a month?”

Five yuan could buy so many things!

The sewing machine was expensive, but it was just for show, it was just sitting at home, it couldn’t make money.

Moreover, it was a dowry from her family, she couldn’t sell it.

Five more yuan in pocket money every month, and it was just renting, how could Zhang Lingling be unhappy?

Seeing her smiling face, Jiang Nianzi smiled and nodded: “Yes, we’ll pay you five yuan a month, but the sewing machine has to be moved to our house.”

Zhang Lingling immediately agreed, they were all from the same village, everyone in the village knew that the sewing machine was hers, she wouldn’t dare to have any thoughts of taking it over.

“Okay, when are you moving it?”

Having obtained her consent, Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue looked at each other, both sisters had a smile in their eyes.

Jiang Xue said: “We’ll move it today, you wait for me to call my brother over.”

When it came to money, Zhang Lingling was very enthusiastic, she covered her mouth and laughed: “No need for your brother to move it, I’ll have your brother Tiger move it over.”

Jiang Hu was Zhang Lingling’s husband.

They didn’t have to make an extra trip, so the sisters were naturally happy.

Jiang Nianzi was also quick to pay the money, she asked Zhang Lingling to find paper and pen, wrote a rental receipt and handed it to Zhang Lingling, asking her to sign it.

“Wow, it’s so formal, educated people are different.” Zhang Lingling took it with a smile and signed it readily.

After signing, Jiang Nianzi also gave Zhang Lingling the money she had counted beforehand.

Zhang Lingling happily took it and stuffed it into her waistband.

Money for goods, Jiang Hu was called by Zhang Lingling to move the sewing machine to Jiang’s sisters’ house.

The sewing machine was not small, Jiang Hu carried it from the village entrance to the village end, attracting the attention of many people in the village.

Aunt Liu watched with her own eyes as Jiang Hu moved the sewing machine into Ding Hongmei’s house, her eyes were green with envy.

They had bought the village chief’s wife’s sewing machine, how much money did this stinky girl Jiang Nianzi make.

Ugh, humph.

The sewing machine arrived home, Jiang Xue didn’t dare to be idle either, she immediately started cutting the fabric.

The fabric was the padded jacket fabric that Jiang Nianzi bought yesterday.

She made Jiang Nianzi’s size first, which was also what Jiang Nianzi requested.

Because she went to the clinic every day, she saw more people, and her clothes were more likely to be seen by people.

Jiang Cheng was still collecting herbs in the mountains, Ding Hongmei didn’t work today either, she went up the mountain with her son.

Jiang Nianzi didn’t have to go to the clinic to work today.

But she had nothing to do, so she simply carried the dried herbs from the previous two days to town.
