Chapter 347: 347 go home
Zhao Yanping arranged for Zhang Fusheng to wash up and rest while she and her sister cooked.
For dinner, they had cornbread, sauerkraut stewed with meat, and potatoes.
"Big sister, is something up?" Zhao Yanli felt her sister was acting unusually.
"Xiao Li, I want to live with Zhang Fusheng."
Zhao Yanli was momentarily taken aback.
"Big sister, Zhang Fusheng didn't bully you, did he?"
"What are you thinking? He just asked if I wanted to live with him. This time, I also met his family, and they were really nice to me.
Although I don't know their background well, I feel living with him wouldn't be bad."
Zhao Yanli waited for a while, "Big sister, if you're willing, that's great. I've been hoping you'd find someone. It's too tiring for you to take care of Hai Yan by yourself."
"Yes, it's actually nice to have a man to live with, isn't it?"
"Yes, as long as you're willing, I have no objections."
Zhao Yanping smiled. "He promised me he'd treat Hai Yan as his own."
"Good, it's great that you're willing to trust him."
Seeing the smile on her sister's face, Zhao Yanli felt that this time her big sister would definitely be happy.
Because when she married Xiang Zhiqiang, she didn't have this kind of smile.
Thinking of Xiang Zhiqiang made her feel disgusted. He was really someone who couldn't be trusted. Many people at the farm were talking about his affairs. Better not tell big sister, no need to upset ourselves over such a disgusting person.
The two sisters finished cooking, and another large pot of water was ready. Zhao Yanping went to take a bath. To be honest, it had been more than half a month without a bath, and it was really inconvenient outside. Quite uncomfortable.
The Zhao Family siblings had all arrived, and Zhang Fusheng was up too.
Everyone sat together for the meal.
After the meal, Zhao Yanping spoke up. "Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, Xiao Jing, Hong Bing, I want to live with Zhang Fusheng."
As she finished speaking, everyone looked at her, then at Zhang Fusheng.
It was Sun Yun who spoke first, "Xiao Ping. Why do you have this idea?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm speaking for Xiao Ping. I took a liking to her and asked if she wanted to live with me.
Although I'm just a driver, supporting the two of them is not a problem."
The Zhao Family were all staring at Zhang Fusheng, fearing that he might be like Xiang Zhiqiang. Honestly, Xiang Zhiqiang was at the farm, so they could help a little, but if Xiao Ping really lived with Zhang Fusheng, they wouldn't be able to help at all.
If anything really happened, they wouldn't know, nor could they help.
Zhang Fusheng surely knew what the Zhao Family were concerned about.
"Whatever I promise now is useless. So just watch my actions in the future. Every year there will be fertilizer trucks coming back and forth, so whether you come over or Xiao Ping returns, it's all the same."
The Zhao Family now turned to look at Zhao Yanping.
"Don't worry about it, I am willing to trust Zhang Fusheng this once. I think I won't be so unlucky either."
No one could say anything else now. Zhao Yanli suddenly said, "You two can definitely live together, but you must get your marriage registered."
That's a kind of protection for big sister, isn't it?
Zhang Fusheng nodded, "That's for sure. Today we agree on this, and tomorrow I'll speak with your farm director."
Sun Yun coughed, "Zhang Fusheng. You're much older than Xiao Ping. When she leaves us to live with you, you must be considerate of her."
Zhang Fusheng nodded, "That's for sure. I'm looking for a partner for the rest of my life. I cherish her, never have enough time for that. Besides, Xiao Ping's temperament is just like that. She's not one to be unreasonable."
Zhao Qingxiang continued, "Xiao Ping, you're leaving us, and it's so far, so even if something did happen, we wouldn't know."
"Big brother, second brother, don't worry. Nothing like that will happen."
Zhao Yanping genuinely believed in Zhang Fusheng.
This matter was thus settled.
"Zhang Fusheng, Xiao Ping's residence is at the farm, it might be difficult to handle." Zhao Qingjie was a bit concerned about this.
Zhang Fusheng felt reassured, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the director. I promised every year to get two trucks of fertilizer for the farm. I think with that, your director shouldn't make things difficult."
"Then Director Feng surely won't make it difficult. He'll be eager to get it settled."
"Actually, just one truck of fertilizer would be enough. More would be better," Zhao Qingxiang said.
Zhang Fusheng thought for a moment, that's true, making such a big promise doesn't help.
The Zhao Family left, and the two sisters plus Hai Yan stayed in one room.
"Big sister, you really like Zhang Fusheng?" she thought the man's age was a bit much.
"Yes, his words moved me. He said no need to be so tired, wants me to live an easier life.
He was also the first one to ask if I was tired."
"Big sister, I wish you happiness. And in the future, don't be so soft-hearted."
Zhao Yanli truly believed her big sister could be happy.
"I know."
The next morning, Zhao Yanping got up to make breakfast. After breakfast, she and Zhang Fusheng took a cart to the farm office, as some paperwork needed handling.
They arrived a bit early; Feng Baoshan hadn't arrived yet. Well, at this time, not much was happening at the farm office. Hardly anyone wanted to get up early during their break.
So, they waited at the office.
They talked quietly about some farm matters.
Zhang Haisheng arrived at work. Seeing Zhao Yanping made him feel a bit embarrassed, as he felt he had delayed this young woman's life.
Zhao Yanping didn't mind and greeted Zhang Haisheng.
"Come sit in my office for a while. Director Feng should be here soon."
It was quite cold outside, and no one wanted to wait in the cold. So they went in without any hesitation.
It wasn't too cold inside. Zhang Haisheng started the stove and poured them some water to drink.
He knew this man was from the transport team and was curious about his business, so he asked.
"I want to live with Comrade Zhao Yanping. We came to see Director Feng for paperwork, as they both will go with me.
We need proofs here; after all, registration needs a recommendation letter."
Zhang Haisheng was stunned. Were they a couple? Since when?
He thought of the fertilizer truck that was arranged for Zhao Yanping by this driver.
He felt quite complex about it, but he genuinely wished Zhao Yanping well, realizing that as a matchmaker, he had caused her harm.
"Congratulations to you two. This is really simple. Once Director Feng is here, it will be done in no time.
Mr. Zhang, Xiao Zhao is a good girl, you must treat her well."
"Absolutely, she will be my wife, and I'll treat both of them well."
Zhang Haisheng nodded, that's good. Leaving here would be beneficial.
