Chapter Twenty-Five: Parents match up in a poor house marriage

Basically everything in the shelter has been arranged. During this time, we repeatedly checked the surrounding walls and gates, for fear of overlooking any loopholes that would allow zombies to attack. The size of the wall is about two meters, which is exactly where the zombies can stretch out their hands.

The height of the gate is not a coincidence or an omission, but is to facilitate the villagers to eliminate zombies. We had imagined the situation of being surrounded by zombies. If we were suddenly surrounded, it would be very efficient to just rely on a few people to kill the zombies one by one in front of the gate.

If it is too low, a better way is for all the villagers to work together to eliminate the zombies. The wall is one meter wide, and there are stone steps leading up to the wall. Therefore, when the zombies gather under the wall, the villagers can climb up the wall and swing

Use the sickle and ax to kill the zombies. At a height of two meters, the zombies are just out of reach of people, but people can just use the weapon to kill the zombies.

It seems that my idea is perfect, but my intuition tells me that zombies are not that easy to deal with because they have extremely strong spreading ability. During this time, I have been thinking about how to make the shelter safer and how to protect my parents and fellow villagers.

Not harmed. The reason for this is because I have to fulfill my promise to Jiayi.

Finally, one day, I told my parents what I thought. I thought my parents would try their best to stop me, saying it was too dangerous outside, the journey was too far, or they didn’t want me to leave, etc. But the result was beyond my expectations.

Unexpected.

"You are no longer a child. There are some things you have to decide on your own."

My parents’ answer was short but profound, and it instantly made me feel like crying. “Dad, Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to stay with you, but because when we just escaped from school, we promised Xiaomo and

Jiayi, I want to find their families..."

"Son, tell the truth to your parents, do you like that girl named Deng Jiayi?" My parents really understand me, and they seem to have seen my thoughts a long time ago.

I was caught off guard by their sudden questions, "...well..." I looked embarrassed.

"Deng Jiayi is a good girl, dignified and steady. You must treat others well in the future."

I was very surprised by what my parents said. There seemed to be some hidden meaning in their words. I quickly responded: "Well, I will protect everyone."

In the evening, the weather was particularly cool, so my eldest son and I started practicing again in the yard. Suddenly I saw my mother coming out of her room and walking towards Jiayi's room. So I tiptoed and leaned out of the window, secretly listening to their conversation.

"Jiayi, are you still asleep?" Mother came in and asked kindly.

"Ah... Aunt Zhao is here... Please sit down..." Jiayi was about to put out the candle when she saw her mother suddenly entering, and was a little surprised.

"Jiayi, I heard from Tianlong that you want to leave?"

"Well...Brother Tianlong said that if the village is properly arranged, he will help me find my family...but...but if Aunt Zhao is worried...we won't go, after all, I have troubled you enough here...

"Jiayi's words were a little trembling and a little lost. I remember that when I told her that I was leaving a few days ago, she was excited for several days. This time her mother's visit made her afraid.

"Silly boy, Auntie has no intention of stopping you." The mother looked at her and suddenly sighed. "This child Tianlong has had a bad temper since he was a child. He can't keep his temper when things happen. From now on, when you go out, you guys

You should keep an eye on him."

Jiayi's mother's words really surprised her. Jiayi's eyes widened and she looked at her mother nervously and excitedly: "Auntie, what do you mean... do you agree with us leaving?"

Mother nodded thoughtfully, suddenly gently held Jiayi's hand, and asked earnestly: "Jiayi, tell the truth to auntie, do you like our Tianlong?" What mother asked Jiayi was actually like

The same question was asked to me, which made my heart skip a beat. I pressed close to the window, listening to Jiayi's answer more carefully and nervously.

"...Well..." Jiayi's words were a little shy. I took a sneak peek and found that her cheeks were already blushing shyly.

The mother smiled happily and gently held Jiayi's arm. "I said I was right! Tianlong's father is still stubborn with me! We made a bet that if you and Tianlong are interested, he will live in Niu

Let him sleep in the shed tonight!" Her mother's joke immediately eased the awkward atmosphere, and Jiayi smiled shyly.

"Since... you and Tianlong both like each other, then... can you promise Auntie something..." The mother's tone suddenly became hesitant.

"Well, tell me." Jiayi looked at her mother in surprise.

The mother thought for a while and then said: "Jiayi, it's not easy for people to survive in this world now... His father and I finally waited for Tianlong to come back, and now we have to watch him leave. To be honest, it's really

I feel a bit reluctant to part with him. Tianlong is not young anymore now. His father and I just hope that Tianlong can get married as soon as possible, which is the last wish of our old man."

Jiayi lowered her head, as if she understood what her mother meant, and became even more shy.

"The words I said are just the thoughts of Tianlong and I. If you are willing, the matter will be settled. We will have a happy event in the next two days, but if you are not willing... it's Tianlong

That silly boy is not lucky, and your uncles and aunts won't force you." Her mother's heartfelt words made Jiayi nervous and didn't know what to do.

"Ah...Auntie...you don't need to say anything anymore, I...I am willing...I am willing to follow Brother Tianlong for the rest of my life..."

Jiayi lowered her head vigorously, and her slender hands kept fidgeting with the bow on her skirt. Her mother was so happy that she quickly stood up and put her hand gently on Jiayi's shoulder, "As long as you want! You can

As long as you are willing! We will prepare for the happy event tomorrow!" Mother suddenly hugged Jiayi tightly, tears of relief flowed from her eyes. "Hey... Tianlong's dad and I are looking forward to it.

What a day..."

Lying outside the window, I was completely stunned, but more than anything, I was filled with happiness. This old lady had solved my life-long affairs so easily. I pinched myself hard, for fear that I was dreaming.

But the sudden pain told me, Zhao Tianlong, you are not dreaming.

Um...cough...cough...I would like to introduce to you now, my name is Zhao Tianlong, I am twenty-five years old this year, and I want to inform everyone of good news, I am getting married!!!

Today is the busiest day since the disaster in the village, and it is also the most significant day in my life. The villagers held a grand wedding for Jiayi and I. We went from house to house and brought some red silk and satin, and hung them all over the house with joy.

In the courtyard, the mother and several aunts were busy cooking, the father and several uncles went to the neighbor's house to move the table, and Uncle Wang from the back village led a few young men to kill pigs and sheep...Xiao Rui, a funny guy, could always come up with something

With a weird idea, he got a bunch of firecrackers from nowhere, led Xiao Hao up to the observation deck, and let them go with a crackle.

The warm sunshine softly shines on this joyful land, making the red silk dazzling, making the roof sparkle, making the steam crystal clear, and making people smile...

At night, Jiayi and I sat in the room that belonged to both of us. This was the room that everyone had specially set aside for the wedding night. She and I were so nervous that we stopped talking and just sat in silence. Xiao Rui took Xiao Rui

Hao, the fourth child was whispering under the bed, and I caught him on the spot. Then he ran and shouted: "Second brother! Please take it easy!"

I was so angry that I lifted my leg and kicked it. The fat man rubbed his butt and made a face at me.

"Hey...hehe...Xiao Rui has such bad behavior, don't worry about it..." I was very embarrassed by Xiao Rui's words and hurriedly explained to Jiayi.

"Ah...it's okay..." Jiayi was even more embarrassed than me, lowering her head and looking at her feet silently.

After being silent for a long time, I suddenly gently held his hand, "Jiayi... don't worry, I will definitely... treat you well in the future..." Jiayi slowly snuggled into my arms,

He nodded happily.
