Chapter 309: Li Da Xiong Got His Marriage Certificate
Xiao Lin's method is indeed surprising, using one's own spear to attack one's own shield.
Yang Qing decisively listened to this good suggestion.
The next day, he ran to Director Wang's to pour tea and water, loafing.
Director Wang was so busy he was flying about, didn't notice at first, and by the time he remembered Yang Qing, it was already afternoon.
She lifted her head and saw Yang Qing holding a rag, cleaning for her.
Director Wang seeing this scene, his head felt a bit dazed.
"Yang Qing, you didn't leave?"
Yang Qing laughed heartily.
"I see Aunt Wang, you're so busy you can't even clean, so I stayed to give you Household Chores Household Chores."
Director Wang waved his hand.
"Alright, you're a Factory Director, cleaning here like what?"
"Come on, what matter do you come to me for?"
Yang Qing shook his head.
"Nothing, can't I come see Aunt Wang if there's nothing?"
There's a situation; this guy doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing—he's been running around all day, so there must be something.
It seems the matter isn't small; otherwise he wouldn't be so earnest—I can't fall for his trick.
"Since there's nothing, go attend to your own business."
"I'll go home after I'm done."
Yang Qing gave a brisk farewell.
"Alright, Aunt Wang, I'm leaving."
Saying that, Yang Qing took his cleaning tools and left, without any delay.
He vanished in a puff of smoke.
This left Director Wang bewildered.
"What is this kid up to?"
"He can hold his breath quite well; let's see how long he can hold it."
After Yang Qing put the tools back in place, he went home.
It's about time to get off work.
Upon returning home, Yang Qing heard something.
Li Da Xiong got married; things developed unexpectedly fast—how long has it been, and it's already settled.
Chen Hong held her son, snatched a candy from his hand and gave it to Yang Qing.
"Eat a candy, share in the joy."
"Married? Got the certificate? Brought the person back?"
Yang Qing fired off three questions in a row.
Chen Hong nodded, gossiping.
"Da Xiong's wife is quite pretty."
"Who would have thought that Li Da Xiong, who normally can't even fart in half a day, actually married such a pretty wife without a word."
"No wonder he doesn't look at Gu Ning."
It seems that woman has no problem.
And even if there were a problem, it's too late—they've already gotten the certificate.
At that moment, the old lady suddenly whispered from the side.
"Pretty is pretty, but I just feel that woman is a bit off."
Yang Qing was startled, then quickly said.
"Grandma, we can't be biased against pretty women."
"Now, even if there were a problem, what could it be? Times have changed; before, all kinds of sects and trades ran rampant, everything existed, so one had to be careful when marrying. Now here, everyone just lives peacefully."
The old lady thought, then nodded in realization.
"You're right, it's my old-fashioned thinking; now around here we couldn't produce any bad people, and if we did, they'd have been dragged out for struggle sessions long ago."
Chen Hong gave Yang Qing a push.
"Alright, alright, talking about other people's wives, you're getting worked up again."
"You haven't even seen the person, what do you know?"
"Hurry up and cook."
Yang Qing peeled off the sugar coating, put the candy in his mouth, and said happily.
"Alright, we'll do it now."
Hearing Yang Qing was going to cook, Rou Dan, with little flowers patterned on his body, ran out of the house.
"Dad, I'll come tend the fire."
Rou Dan's shout caused Osmanthus and Meatball to also start calling out 'ee-ya ee-ya'.
This scene made the old lady laugh heartily.
After dinner, Chen Hong urged Yang Qing to go with her to see the new wife.
Rou Dan rushed ahead, Yang Qing embraced his daughter and carried two dried sea fish, Chen Hong held her son and carried a half-bag of mixed grains.
Li Da Xiong got married; there were no adults at home, many things needed to be prepared, he treated Yang Qing as an elder brother, and Yang Qing should help where he could.
Upon arriving at the front courtyard, it was already bustling.
Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Liu Guangtian………
A group of people in front started making a fuss.
"Big Bear, give a kiss! Give a kiss!"
They actually started causing a ruckus in the bridal chamber.
Yang Qing coughed twice, but no one paid him any attention.
Chen Hong clung to the osmanthus, squeezing into the crowd.
"Make way, make way."
Chen Hong's influence is still quite strong.
That big-built person, as soon as he stepped forward, the crowd was pushed apart.
The person in front, after being shoved, turned to scold, but upon seeing it was Yang Qing and his wife, immediately shut up and sensibly made way.
Yang Qing followed Chen Hong all the way and rushed into Li Da Xiong's courtyard.
Upon seeing Chen Hong, Li Da Xiong felt as if he'd seen a savior and hurried to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, you've come."
Cao Fang, who had been hiding behind Li Da Xiong, stepped out from behind him at that moment and greeted her.
"Sister-in-law."
Chen Hong said "good" while stepping aside to let Yang Qing, who was behind her, come forward.
Only then did they see Yang Qing.
Li Da Xiong happily said.
"Brother, you've come."
Then he pulled Cao Fang to introduce her to Yang Qing.
"Brother, this is my wife, Cao Fang."
"Wife, this is my elder brother Qing."
Cao Fang sized up Yang Qing, then lowered her head as if shy.
"Greetings, Brother Qing."
She acted so convincingly, Yang Qing gave her full marks.
"Good, good, Da Xiong, put these two fish back; they'll come in handy for the wedding feast."
At that moment, Chen Hong also handed over a cloth bag.
"Inside are ten catties of mixed flour; we'll steam buns with it for the wedding feast."
The couple quickly caught them.
Seeing the couple actually giving gifts while they were teasing the newlyweds, Sha Zhu couldn't help but say.
"Yang Qing, when I got married, you didn't give me anything."
"You're playing favorites."
Yang Qing rolled his eyes.
"Let's not blame each other; this is the saying 'the eldest uncle doesn't blame the second uncle.'"
"In this compound, you have your foster grandmother backing you up front, and a great uncle protecting you from behind."
"At home you have a sister, and your wife's family also has brothers and sisters."
"But Da Xiong is different—he has no father, no mother, no relatives."
"His wife is also alone."
"After marrying, there's no one at home to help prepare."
"As his brother, what's wrong with me showing a little thought?"
"Sha Zhu, you're the eldest brother of our compound."
"Originally, this occasion should have been supported by you."
"Now we can't let you drag us down."
After Yang Qing said a few words, Sha Zhu's temper flared.
"Don't look down on anyone; what Yang Qing can do, I Sha Zhu can also handle."
"Like this, I'll take charge of the wedding feast's cooking; I'll not only provide labor, but also bring my own oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and seasonings."
"Yang Qing, how about it—is this okay?"
Yang Qing gave him a thumbs-up.
"Sha Zhu, if not for being the elder brother, you're this—particular."
Sha Zhu gave a hehe smile, then glanced at Xu Damao, and instantly had a crooked idea.
"Xu Damao, you're also considered a brother to Da Xiong; he often calls you 'Brother Mao'."
"What's up, you're not going to show anything?"
Xu Damao knew Sha Zhu was setting him up, but in front of Sha Zhu he had to save face.
Moreover, since Yang Qing started this, he had to show something no matter what.
"Sha Zhu, stop it—what's Master Mao's role?"
"I still have over ten catties of dried goods at home, all of which I've contributed to my brother Da Xiong."
"Besides those, I'll also contribute two bottles of sorghum liquor."
"Is Master Mao sincere enough?"
