Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Chapter 305: Wedding

Three days before the wedding, under Grandma Shen’s request, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que stopped seeing each other.

Shen Que moved to the mechanical factory, and Jiang Cheng stayed at the crowded courtyard.

The day before the wedding, Grandma Shen brought a mysterious "album" to give Jiang Cheng a lesson on bridal chamber education.

Jiang Cheng pretended she didn’t understand and listened to the end.

The lecturer’s face was flushed, and the listener was engrossed, even keeping the "album."

Jiang Cheng gloriously named it: In case Shen Que doesn’t understand, she can show him.

Grandma Shen, with a blushing face, said, "I don’t believe a word you say."

Not only did she not believe it, but Grandma Shen also thought she should go and deliver the album to Shen Que.

Feeling a bit regretful, Grandma Shen left Jiang Cheng’s room not long before Li Chunxiang arrived.

She came to accompany Jiang Cheng.

The two seemed to return to their time in Yangcheng, lying on a kang, chatting away.

As they chatted, the topic turned to major life events.

"Chunxiang, do you have someone you like?"

Li Chunxiang didn’t answer immediately, and Jiang Cheng knew she did.

"Someone I know?"

Jiang Cheng’s sharp intuition made Li Chunxiang turn slightly, a bit embarrassed, and hum softly.

"Kind of."

"How so?"

Li Chunxiang laughed bitterly, "He rejected me."

Jiang Cheng became even more interested.

Li Chunxiang also wanted to confide in someone about this, and if it weren’t for Jiang Cheng’s upcoming wedding, she would have shared it sooner.

"I like... Gao Zhonghua."

Li Chunxiang said it, and Jiang Cheng was a bit surprised but found it reasonable.

The two had spent a lot of time together in Yangcheng.

Jiang Cheng roughly understood why Gao Zhonghua rejected Li Chunxiang.

She looked at Li Chunxiang and asked, "Do you know why he rejected you?"

"Yes, he said... he’s a man without a future, that there’s shrapnel in his head..."

At this point, Li Chunxiang couldn’t hold back her tears, quickly wiping them away, "Can’t cry, can’t cry, tomorrow is your big day."

Jiang Cheng pulled Li Chunxiang’s hand away as she wiped her tears, handed her a tissue, and said, "Don’t hold it in; I don’t believe in those things."

With one sentence, Li Chunxiang silently let her tears fall, soon wetting a patch of the pillow.

"It’s the first time I’ve liked someone, and I told him I didn’t mind, but he still wouldn’t agree."

Li Chunxiang looked at Jiang Cheng, distressed, "At first, I was so angry, but now I just feel heartache."

"How could such a good person end up like this!"

The more she cried, the more her heart ached, and the more she wanted to cry.

More than a month’s worth of grievances and suppression all released today.

Jiang Cheng patted Li Chunxiang’s back, unable to say anything she could do for her.

Because she understood both Gao Zhonghua and Li Chunxiang, neither was wrong, both were reasonable; it was up to them.

After crying, Li Chunxiang felt much relieved, took Jiang Cheng’s hand, and said sorry.

"What are you talking about, I’m your life’s mentor, who else would you tell?"

Jiang Cheng’s words made Li Chunxiang smile, and Li Chunxiang calmly said, "I still want to try, I’ll give myself two years, if within two years I can’t move him, I won’t pursue anymore."

"I know he might... tomorrow, but I still want to be with him, as a couple."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Do what you want, don’t leave regrets."

Today, the mechanical factory was bustling; nearly everyone in S City who knew Jiang Cheng was there.

Everyone gathered at the mechanical factory gate, and upon seeing the bride pickup team return, a spontaneous drum team of several directors started up.

The cheerful music played, accompanied by the joyful expressions of people at the door, along with Gao Zhonghua and comrades scattering candy everywhere, the wedding atmosphere was fully vibrant.

The scale of Jiang Cheng and Shen Que’s wedding couldn’t be surpassed in the decade before or after.

The cars stopped at the factory gate, and Jiang Cheng and Shen Que got out, stepping on the road paved with red paper, walking towards the cafeteria amid blessings from people around.

The crowd behind the two added up to several hundred people, jubilant and happier than the newlyweds.

The factory cafeteria kitchen was extremely busy, several chefs had been borrowed today just to prepare this meal well.

With ample ingredients and exquisite skills, half of the wedding banquet was secured.

After entering the cafeteria, Jiang Cheng and Shen Que stood on a makeshift stage, Principal Wang used the microphone to officiate their marriage and read their marriage certificate.

The simple wedding ceremony ended just like that.

Next, it was time for the meal.

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que picked up wine glasses and jugs to start toasting.

Jiang Cheng wanted to drink, but those at the wedding didn’t want to drink with Jiang Cheng.

Director Lu bluntly said, "Let’s do what a bride should do instead; besides, you never get drunk no matter how much you drink, it’d be a waste!"

"Exactly! Come, come, Factory Director Shen, let’s have a drink today."

Factory Director Fang and Director Lu played a duet, pulling Shen Que to drink, while Jiang Cheng had to stand aside.

Only to see Leader Song of S City’s foreign trade grabbing Shen Que, not letting go, saying, "Director Shen, after marriage, you must give Jiang Cheng time to freely express herself!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Exactly, Jiang Cheng should go out when she wants, don’t stop her!"

"Director Shen can’t, Director Shen wouldn’t do that!"

Several people sang together, their central idea was one: don’t get in the way!

Shen Que listened and promised, "Don’t worry, Jiang Cheng will call the shots at home!"
