My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 459: Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli's Wedding

Han Chunyan looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Honey, could we buy two watches? One for Chunming and one for Cai Xiaoli."

Zhang Lei was still thinking about Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli, and hadn't come to his senses for a moment. Han Chunyan thought Zhang Lei disagreed, so she immediately pleaded, "Honey, please agree. If you agree, I'll do as you say tonight."

Zhang Lei was overjoyed. He had only been stunned for a moment, but he hadn't expected such a reward. Zhang Lei quickly agreed, "Okay, it's just a watch, right? As the brother-in-law, I agree."

He then quickly turned off the light.

The next morning, Han Chunyan and Zhang Lei arrived at the Han family home. Han Chunyan glanced at the living room and then headed towards the kitchen.

When Han's mother saw Han Chunyan arrive, she smiled and said, "Chunyan, have you had breakfast yet?"

Han Chunyan smiled and said, "Mom, I've already eaten. Where's my brother?"

Looking at Han Chunyan, Han's mother smiled broadly and said, "Your brother must have been too tired last night; he hasn't gotten up yet."

Upon hearing that he hadn't gotten up yet, Han Chunyan said somewhat angrily, "So lazy, I'll go wake him up."

Han's mother grabbed Han Chunyan and said, "What are you doing? Xiaoli is still inside."

Hearing that Cai Xiaoli was still inside, Han Chunyan immediately realized why her mother had said her younger brother was too tired. She smiled and said, "Mom, Xiaoli didn't leave after I left yesterday?"

Han's mother smiled and looked at Han Chunyan, saying, "No, I saw that she wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I didn't let her leave."

Han Chunyan looked at her mother and said with a smile, "Mom, are you eager to have a grandson?"

Han's mother said with a smile, "If I could really get pregnant this quickly, I would be overjoyed."

As they spoke, the two brought the prepared food to the living room. Zhang Lei saw this and quickly stood up to take the bowl and chopsticks from Han Chunyan's hands.

After waiting for a while, the group saw Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli shyly walk out of the house.

Looking at Han Chunming, Zhang Lei teased, "Chunming, what did you do last night? You have dark circles under your eyes."

Upon hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Han Chunming, seeing Zhang Lei's teasing tone, said, "Brother-in-law, why are you here so early?"

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "I heard from your sister that you're getting married soon, so as your brother-in-law, I definitely had to come and say hello."

At this moment, Han Chunming looked at Cai Xiaoli and said, "This is my second sister's husband."

Cai Xiaoli then called out, "Second brother-in-law."

Zhang Lei said happily, "Okay, okay, okay, please sit down. Mom has prepared all the food, please have something simple to eat."

After quickly finishing breakfast, the group began discussing Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli's marriage.

Han Chunming spoke up, "Mom, isn't this a bit too fast?"

Han's mother looked at Han Chunming and said, "What's the rush? You brat, Xiaoli is with you now, we need to hurry up and get this done, otherwise what will others think of our family? What will they think of Xiaoli?"

Zhang Lei nodded and looked at Han Chunming, saying, "Chunming, Mom is right. It's better to do this sooner rather than later. Today, take your bike and bring Xiaoli to her house."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei took out twenty yuan and a few bills from his pocket, looked at Han Chunming and said, "You're about to get married, so you should know your manners. Go to Xiaoli's house and buy some things for her parents to show your sincerity."

Han Chunming looked at the money Zhang Lei handed him and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing...?"

Han Chunyan looked at Han Chunming and said, "Alright, your brother-in-law gave it to you, so just take it."

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "That's right, Chunming, stop with the 'this' and 'that'."

Han's mother wanted to say something, but when she saw the twenty yuan, she held back her words.

Han Chunming nodded and led Cai Xiaoli out the door. As soon as they reached the courtyard gate, they saw Su Meng. Han Chunming thought of going up to greet her, but Su Meng completely ignored him, even though he was walking with Cai Xiaoli.

Looking at the situation before her, Cai Xiaoli smiled and comforted Han Chunming, saying, "Chunming, if you want to say hello to her, I'll wait for you here. There's no rush for us."

Han Chunming shook his head and said, "Forget it, since I'm going to break it off, I might as well do it cleanly. It's good that she's ignoring me."

Han Chunming rode his bicycle with Cai Xiaoli on the back. Cai Xiaoli clung tightly to Han Chunming's waist, feeling extremely happy at that moment.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lei, Han Chunyan, and Han's mother continued their conversation.

Zhang Lei looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Mom, Chunyan, let's go buy the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of watches, a watch, a radio, and a microphone) later. When Chunyan and I got married, we bought three sets of the 'three turns and one sound,' but we didn't buy them for Chunsheng and Chunming. We agreed to wait until their weddings to get them, so they wouldn't go bad. Chunsheng was worried that I wouldn't buy them for him later, so he suggested that I keep the money and tickets with him first. I thought it didn't matter, so I gave them to him. Now that Chunming is getting married, it's a good time to get him the complete set and fulfill our promise."

Soon, the three arrived at the mall. Zhang Lei picked out the best of everything: a sewing machine, a radio, a bicycle, and a watch. Han's mother beamed as she looked at the things Zhang Lei had bought, after all, her youngest son was about to get married and would be using these things.

The news of Han Chunming's upcoming marriage quickly spread throughout the courtyard. Upon hearing the news, Cheng Jianjun immediately rushed to the Su family home to find Su Meng. Hearing about Han Chunming's marriage, Su Meng couldn't help but cry. Cheng Jianjun, meanwhile, gleefully spread the news everywhere, as if it were him getting married.

When Han Chunming returned home that evening, he mentioned the time he had met with Cai Xiaoli's parents. Zhang Lei didn't interrupt; after all, it was a matter for the Han family. Han Chunming had parents, older brothers, and older sisters; he didn't need to worry about it. He had already done what he needed to do.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. This day was Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli's wedding day. Zhang Lei and Han Chunyan arrived early to help. Han Chunsong, as the eldest son of the Han family, oversaw everything. Han Chunyan happily bustled about, helping with all the preparations.

Looking at the bustling courtyard, Zhang Lei couldn't help but wonder what Su Meng was doing at this time. On a whim, Zhang Lei went straight to the backyard.

Just then, Zhang Lei suddenly noticed a suspicious figure—it was Cheng Jianjun. He wondered what Cheng Jianjun was up to.

Zhang Lei quietly followed him and saw Cheng Jianjun knock on Su Meng's door. Su Meng was home alone at the time; her family was at the hospital.

When Cheng Jianjun saw Su Meng, he pretended to be concerned and asked, "Su Meng, today is Han Chunming's big day, aren't you going to go and see him?"

Su Meng looked at Cheng Jianjun and said, "What does his marriage have to do with me? Why should I go to see it?"

Cheng Jianjun said with a grin, "No matter what, we're from the same department and grew up together. We should at least go and offer our blessings."

Su Meng looked at Cheng Jianjun and said, "If you want to go, you go. I'm not going."

Zhang Lei listened to their conversation and looked at the quiet backyard, which was in stark contrast to the bustling front yard. Most of the people in the backyard had gone to the front yard to help prepare the banquet.
