Chapter 94

Yang Yuchan finally finished the last job of the engagement this afternoon: publishing the newspaper.

She sent out almost 600 invitations through the post office this morning, and there were still more than 100 invitations that needed to be sent out by hand. Fortunately, Su Chunjun took over most of the work, and less than 10 invitations needed to be sent out by her or Zhu Yanshu’s hands.

The date of the engagement has also been determined, on May 5th. The location is the second floor of the Peace Hotel.

Yang Yucan rushed home, in the heart of the last last task is the whole family to do the clothes, this excuse is very good to find.

During dinner, Zhu Yanshu wiped her mouth and said to Su Chunjun as if she was not thinking, “Mr. Su, have you made spring clothes yet? I saw a suit in the April pictorial that was very flattering.”

Mr. Su Chunjun knew that this was for him to wear at the engagement ceremony, and immediately his face turned red with excitement, he unconsciously straightened his back, and his voice was as thin as his throat was squeezed: “Not yet …….”

Zhu Yan Shu said with a smile: “Just in time, our family should do spring clothes, if you do not mind, with us to do it.”

Naturally, the money for the clothes was paid by the Zhu family.

No one at the table felt anything wrong, especially Yang Yuyan, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Zhu Yanshu making clothes for the whole family and then bringing Mr. Su, when she heard this, she even grabbed her own sleeves and said, “Yes, yes, Mom, look at my sleeves, they’re short.”

Zhu Yan Shu smilingly had looked at her and said, “Good, make you a new one.” She also turned her head and called up Zhang Ma, “Zhang Ma, come along too, I’ll make you a new set too.”

Zhang Ma was excited and embarrassed, nervously saying, “I, I won’t need it.”

Zhu Yanshu had already said that Yang Yuyan’s engagement would have a seat for her at the main table, sitting with the Zhu family’s mother and daughter, and that she would be introduced as a relative of the Zhu family and Yang Yuyan’s aunt. Zhang Ma was naturally very happy to hear it, but after that, she was nervous and uneasy, worrying that Zhu Yanshu was just being polite, and also worried that she would lose the Zhu family’s reputation if she went over there, thinking that she was a lowly person who would be sitting at the main table unlike the others. Because of too much thought, the courage becomes smaller, will not dare to go, even dare not show that she wants to go, but to say not to go.

Zhu Yanshu affirmed, “To go, everyone is going.”

Zhang Ma’s fear coupled with a hundred times more joy and excitement made her throat feel like it was stuffed.

After the matter was announced, Zhu Yanshu adjourned the meeting.

Su Chunjun had one of the diamond rings he had bought in his pocket. He now ate and lived in the Zhu family, and usually didn’t need money to go out and spend wherever he went, so he took out all of his savings to buy a diamond ring in one breath. As a result, after picking out the ring, he spent all the money in his pocket, and even signed up for a considerable amount of money owed.

If not for the fact that the jeweler saw him as a member of the Finance Bureau and could surely afford to pay back the debt, he would never have been allowed to get credit.

Because he went to pick the carat is too small, said to the jeweler to pick a “can see” diamonds, the jeweler will bring the loose diamonds for him to pick, and finally he discussed with his wallet, barely picked a 2.02 carat square diamond, select the ring after the set up still looks quite sparkling.

Because of this, he had to write a note for the first time, determined to pay off the ring with the money he earned.

The ring was now in his pocket, having been picked up before he returned from work today. He stared at the oblivious Yang Yuyan, wanting to find a chance to give it to her without any bystanders.

Unfortunately, with the engagement approaching, Zhang Ma and Yang Yucan were both watching him very closely, afraid that he would step over the line. He even imagined that after the engagement was finalized and the two of them had a name, he was afraid that Zhang Ma would guard against him even more.

Unfortunately, it would take at least two years from engagement to marriage, and Ms. Zhu had told him that she would wait until she was twenty years old before marrying Yang Yuyan off. For one thing, she didn’t want Yang Yuyan to give birth at too young an age for fear of danger; for another, she also had to be concerned about Yang Yucan’s face. Her sister could get engaged before her, but the marriage should still be in order. Two years is enough time for Yang Yucan to find a suitable match.

Su Chunjun was hot at the thought of getting engaged, and even hotter when he thought that he would have to suffer for another two years after the engagement before he could hold a beautiful woman. But he does not take this as a bitter, but like self-mutilation like feel more happy, this every day waiting is through the sweet, like that tree-top pistil in a drop of honey, looking at it, longing for it but can not get it, who can say that this is not happy? Just like the string pulled to the tightest, finally released the moment is the highest place of happiness, before this every movement, every endeavor, are to reach the final destination. [This is just a description of the career Su Chunjun carried out, audit never think too much]

So he thought he could endure.

In the end, he didn’t get a chance to talk to Miss Yang alone before being “sent” out the door by Zhang Ma, and Miss Yang seemed to have behaved exceptionally well these days. As he walked up the stairs, he couldn’t help but remember that he had been in a state of ecstasy ever since he had learned of the engagement, and that he might have neglected Miss Yang for a few days – but never for as long as a week, and at the most for four or five days.

Second Miss Yang seemed to want to talk to him for the first day or two, but for the last three days she had suddenly become much quieter.

What had happened in the last three days?

Su Chunjun quickly thought of the incident where Yang Xuhe Yang Big Slut was in the newspaper.

Second Miss Yang had indeed become extraordinarily quiet since that day. She didn’t talk much in the house anymore. It wasn’t that she had become a quiet lady since then, but in the matter of Yang Xuhe, she should have been a little more excited, to be more lively and willing to express her opinions than she was now.

But on the contrary, she didn’t seize this opportunity to mock Yang Xuhe, to criticize him, to be sarcastic, to be sarcastic, and so on, all of these things that she would have done, she didn’t do any of them.

Su Chunjun unzipped his jacket and poured half-temperature water from a hot water bottle to wash up, then sat down on the bed, turned on the table lamp, changed into his pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

He embraced the blanket and took out the diamond ring from his suit pocket to admire it, the diamond cut reflecting eye-catching light in the light.

His second young lady, she had certainly done a great job.

He’d seen his well-behaved second young lady many times. For example, she didn’t copy on time, she didn’t memorize, she didn’t read the text as he asked her to. Whenever this happened, he would get a “good student” who would pour him tea, listen to the lesson, and not try to talk to him and interrupt his lesson after ten minutes of class. The “good student” would stick around for thirty minutes until he finished the lesson and started checking yesterday’s homework, then attempt to mess up his mind with a second cup of tea and cookies to make him forget the work he’d assigned.

This time, Miss Two was well behaved for three days.

She must have done something even bigger than not doing her homework.

The next morning, Yang Yuyan realized that Zhang Ma had forgotten to buy a newspaper. So she offered after breakfast that she could go down and buy the newspaper.

Su Chunjun, who had been staring at Second Miss with a meaningful gaze, sniffed, “No need, I can bring it back after work.”

Second Miss Yang supported her chin and glared at him delicately, “Then we won’t be able to read the newspaper all day today.”

Su Chunjun immediately smiles as brightly as a flower, and Zhang Ma sees that he has even forgotten his last name. She interrupted the two young men’s intertwined gazes and said, “Nowadays, the newspaper is full of advertisements, there’s nothing to see, so there’s no need to buy it.”

Because many newspapers were either forced to close down or closed down on their own initiative to avoid the wind, many authors and contributors also stopped writing for the time being and hunkered down, lest they be arrested and sent to the gendarmerie to eat prison food.

So the pages of the newspaper became fewer and fewer, thinner and thinner, leaving only advertisements to be published.

Yang Yuyan thought the advertisements were quite nice, but she couldn’t deny that it was a bit of a loss to buy a newspaper and only read the advertisements.

Zhu Yanshu was also in favor of not buying newspapers, she said seriously: “Recently, all the newspapers are full of scandalous stories about Yang Xuhe, as his daughters, I don’t think I should let you know about them. Outsiders look at it as a joke. If you guys read too much of it, you should look down on him, and I don’t think it’s a good thing for your character, so it’s best if you guys don’t read it.”

Yang Yu Cicada’s face was as heavy as water, she had such a face of going to the temple to become a monk since she read that day’s newspaper, no expression at all.

She said, “I don’t want to read it either, it makes me nauseous.” She said to Yang Yuyan, “You’re not allowed to read it either.”

Yang Yuyan reasoned, “I didn’t look either!”

To be reasonable, she really didn’t bother to read the newspaper, not even once.

Yang Yucan nodded in relief, as if she had finally grown up, understood, and knew not to look at it.

Su Chunjun quietly poked Yang Yuyan and asked her in a low voice when no one was looking, “Why don’t you read it?”

Yang Yuyan was just about to be justified again when she saw Mr. Su’s clear and teasing gaze, she immediately changed her face, her pink face containing authority, and made a “vicious” wink.

Su Chunjun then sat upright, “quiet and silent” down.

When he got up, Yang Yuyan took the initiative to escort him out.

The two of them walked to the door, avoiding Zhang Ma and Yang Yucan, and Yang Yuyan whispered, “How much do you know!”

Su Chunjun also whispered, “Only if you tell me everything, I won’t tell anyone else.”

Yang Yuyan’s eyes dodged, with such a flavor of distrust.

Su Chunjun glanced at the others in the restaurant and whispered to her, “I’ll definitely stand by you, don’t worry.”

Yang Yuyan: “Really? Side with me on everything? What if I do something bad?”

Su Chunjun touched the diamond ring in his pocket and said with all his heart, “Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, I’ll stand by you for the rest of my life.”

Yang Yuyan heard the sweet words and snapped, “Slick talker!”

Su Chunjun really wants to try “smooth talk” now, but unfortunately, this is the front door of the Zhu family, and Zhang Ma has already looked here several times.

After the engagement, he might be able to “smooth talk”.

His hand went into his pocket, holding the ring box, and said, “I’ll come back tonight to talk to you, wait for me.”

Yang Yuyan nodded and sent him out the door.
