Chapter 439 It’s Over

When you live a stable life and have a successful career, you will think about starting a family.

Uncle Zhu Lei found himself a wife, and now he and Sun Zeyuan build houses and do decoration. In the second half of the year, the two bought a small shop in the city as their base, and went to work when there was something to do.

The reputation of their house decoration and construction shop has spread, and neighbors who need repairs on their houses will come to their shop to find them.

The team has now grown to more than 30 people, which is a considerable scale. We can basically take on jobs one after another without much downtime.

Zhu Lei found a local woman named Chen Ling, who was 32 years old this year. She had lost her husband and had a 13-year-old daughter. After her husband died, she was driven out by her husband's family and could not go back to her parents' home. She relied on her own drive to save up a small shop in the county town and started a noodle business, selling noodles, dumplings, wontons and other foods. Her business was still very good.

Zhu Lei is from the north and likes to eat pasta. He often goes to her shop to eat noodles and dumplings, and they become familiar with each other after a few visits.

Zhu Lei admired this independent woman and they could chat well. As a widow who runs her own business, Chen Ling certainly didn't have the idea that women couldn't have contact with men outside of her family. If one's character is not established, the business won't last long.

After Zhu Lei took the initiative to contact Chen Ling for more than half a year, he expressed his intention to Chen Ling, and Chen Ling agreed after thinking about it.

Zhu Lei asked Liu's father and mother to help with the process. They first invited a matchmaker to come to the house, and the betrothal gift was not neglected just because she was a widow.

In the end, the betrothal gift was settled at 88 taels, and there were also two baskets of betrothal gifts, jewelry, new clothes, etc. Liu's mother bought all of them according to the scale of the city, and the total cost was about 120 taels.

Chen Ling now lives behind the shop. She lives with her daughter. There is a bedroom and an operation room behind the shop. Chen Ling's daughter makes dumplings, wontons, dried noodles, etc. in the operation room. She is also a capable girl.

Chen Ling spends most of her time outside cooking dumplings and noodles to entertain guests.

After Zhu Lei decided to get married, he looked for houses in the city. Although he made some money this year, it was not much. In the end, he chose a small house with one entrance, which was located on the edge of the street in the west district. Fortunately, it was not far from Chen Ling's shop.

Chen Ling's shop is open for a very long time, often until dark. Sometimes, when there is a market, the shop will be open until the night market closes.

In this way, he can't go back to the village often, and Zhu Lei thinks it is more convenient to have a place to live in the city.

Zhu Lei’s matter was settled in this way.

There were several single men in their group. Why men? Perhaps it was because men had better physical strength and could survive longer in the apocalypse, so their group received more men.

If these bachelors want to find someone, Liu's father, mother and Qi Xin will help them look for one.

So, in addition to Zhu Lei, Huang Cheng and Sun Zeyuan also found their partners with the help of Liu's mother and Qi Xin.

After discussion, the three families decided to hold the banquet at the end of the year, in the dam in the village.

The three families shared the expenses equally. After Liu's father and mother went out with Lin Weizhong for more than a month, they came back and started preparing the wedding banquet for the three families.

Huang Cheng was looking for a female patient of Qi Xin, Tang Xiaohuan, who had been seeing Qi Xin since last year. She was divorced by her husband’s family because she had not gotten pregnant after five years of marriage. Her parents still had some affection for their daughter, so they took her home after learning about this. They asked someone to look for Qi Xin, a female doctor, for a long time before they found her and sent their daughter here.

It is also the limitation of this era that it is difficult for women to seek medical treatment when they are sick. You should know that a woman’s infertility is not necessarily a woman’s problem, it may also be a man’s problem.

After Qi Xin's diagnosis, Tang Xiaohuan was found to have no health problems. However, Tang Xiaohuan's ex-husband found another woman and she got pregnant not long after. She always thought it was her problem.

Qi Xin told her that either the child was not her ex-husband's, or they just couldn't get pregnant together. After they broke up, they both found other people and were able to get pregnant. She told her not to worry, but she was in a bad mood and had liver qi stagnation in recent years because of her inability to get pregnant.

Qi Xin prescribed her a week's worth of medicine and told her to relax.

Tang Xiaohuan thought Qi Xin was a good doctor for women, so she would come to Qi Xin's clinic every day when she had nothing to do to help sort out medicinal materials and chat with Qi Xin. After a few interactions, they became familiar with each other. Qi Xin also hired her to work as a pharmacist in the clinic and taught her some medical knowledge.

Tang Xiaohuan found something she liked to do, and she became more cheerful and radiant. Huang Cheng came to see Qi Xin one day, and saw Tang Xiaohuan. He looked at her a few more times, and Qi Xin noticed her. After thinking carefully, she felt that although the eight-year age gap between them was a bit big, they were quite suitable, so she talked to the two of them about it. After they got in touch for a while, they decided to be together.

Sun Zeyuan digested the matter internally. The Gao family had three sisters, all of whom were good-looking. After Gao's eldest sister married Chu Xiaolong, his mother and two younger sisters started to visit their family more often.

In the past two or three years, the family conditions have gradually improved by raising rabbits. Under the care of her elder sister and mother, Gao Xiaomei, the youngest sister, is now eighteen years old. She has grown into a beautiful young lady with a lively and cheerful personality.

Sun Zeyuan would often meet Gao Xiaomei when he returned to the village, and the two of them fell in love freely in the village.

Nowadays, the customs in Zhonghua Village are more open-minded than those in other villages. Both men and women can go out to work, and there is no bad habit of girls being gossiped about when they talk to men. As long as men and women communicate normally, there is no problem.

Sun Zeyuan and Huang Cheng did not buy a house in the city. They opened a clinic in the city, but there was also a clinic in the village. The clinic in the village mainly collected some medicinal materials and prepared them themselves.

Huang Cheng and Qi Xin also developed some pills and powders, which were all placed in the village clinic. The Lai brothers and sisters also had three other children who were selected from the family who had medical talent.

The village clinic soon became a famous clinic in several nearby villages. People nearby would come to the clinic for treatment when they were sick, and Huang Cheng and Qi Xin did not charge high fees.

Gao Xiaomei is in the village, and Sun Zeyuan will come back when he finishes his work. If he goes to a farther place, he can come back to rest for three to five days in ten days, half a month or a month. It is most convenient to settle down in the village. He will save his money to buy two more shops in the market to be built next year as an investment.

Liu's father and mother are still quite concerned about Sun Zeyuan. After all, he is only 22 years old this year, which is still a young man who just graduated from college in modern times. Knowing that Sun Zeyuan has his own plans, they feel at ease to let him do it on his own.
