"Come on, isn't it Han Chunmei's turn to cook today? Why don't you cook?"
When Chai Jianmin saw that there was no lunch for him in the kitchen, he couldn't help but go to Jiang Guangrong. Jiang Guangrong scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
"Today we are eating dumplings, so we don't have to cook. We have to make our own meals."
Qian Longkun spoke. When Chai Jianmin heard eating dumplings, his saliva immediately began to salivate. He looked eastward to see where the dumplings were.
"Where are my dumplings?"
"Where did you get the dumplings?"
"Qian Longkun, we are educated youth in the educated youth area, and we are a whole. How can you create a small split?"
"Stop it, if you dare to go online randomly again, don't blame me for knocking out your teeth."
"But you guys eat dumplings, why didn't I eat them?"
"We spent money, did you spend money?"
Zhao Xiaobao, who has always been very Buddhist, couldn't help it anymore and spoke out.
"you……"
When he heard that they had paid for the dumplings, Chai Jianmin was speechless for a moment. He could only go to the kitchen angrily, made some sorghum noodles himself, and directly made the sorghum noodles batter.
"Cheng Qiao, Cheng Qiao, are you there?"
The aunt of the Wang family directly opened the door of the educated youth point, walked into the courtyard and started shouting. Cheng Qiao heard the sound and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She knew that Li Huan had someone come to propose marriage.
"Aunt Wang, why are you here?"
"Cheng Qiao, it was Li Huan's mother who asked me to marry you. She said that if you are willing, she and Li Huan will send you a gift early tomorrow morning."
"Aunt Wang, who is Li Huan?"
When Xu Laidi heard that someone was proposing marriage to Cheng Qiao, he immediately became anxious. Cheng Qiao could only marry a second-rate man. Who is that Li Huan? He is causing trouble.
"None of your business, you have such an ugly face that you can't even get a man."
"Aunt Wang, how can you hurt others with your words?"
"How could I hurt you? You have the ability to hit me."
Xu Laidi looked at the strong Aunt Wang and took a step back with a guilty conscience. Forget it, let's not argue with the country woman.
"Aunt Wang, how much is Li Huan's betrothal gift?"
Han Chunmei and several other people also ran out when they heard the sound. Of course they knew who Li Huan was, so they asked nervously.
"The Li family's financial situation is not good, so they can only provide ten yuan as a bride price."
When it came to ten yuan, Aunt Wang's voice dropped a lot. The bride price was indeed a bit shabby. No matter how poor a family was, they still had to pay thirty or fifty yuan to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Aunt Wang, if you want to take away the most beautiful and youngest girl from our educated youth area with a gift of only ten yuan, that won't work."
"Sister Chunmei, Cheng Qiao was originally the most beautiful girl in our educated youth center, but now she is disfigured. Didn't you notice that she has such a thick gauze wrapped around her forehead?"
Han Chunmei refused, but Xu Laidi smiled. The jealousy just now had dissipated. It turned out that this person named Li Huan was so poor that he still had the nerve to propose marriage.
"Xu Laidi, shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
Han Chunmei said something to Xu Laidi angrily, and Xu Laidi quickly took a step back. She came to see the joke, but she couldn't get herself involved.
"I'm talking about Xu Laidi. Although Li Huan is a little poorer, getting a wife is a big deal and it depends on the person. Some people are vicious, but we in Xiangyang Village won't want them. There are even educated youths who have read all the books.
It's gone."
The aunt of the Wang family didn't like to see Xu Laidi very much and started scolding him. Xu Laidi was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to scold him back, but she was too timid to face the aunt of the Wang family who had a first-level fighting ability.
Cheng Qiao smiled. As long as the Wang family's aunt helped him, she would be nice to her. Now she helped Li Huan to marry her. It seemed that the relationship between the two families was still good.
"Cheng Zhiqing, look..."
The two eggs in Aunt Wang's pocket are not yet warm. Of course she wants to facilitate this marriage. Besides, her son and the second-rate man are secretly good brothers. Her son has spoken, so she has to help her.
As for the future life of the second-rate son and Cheng Qiao, she is also looking forward to seeing what life will be like for a silly, sweet and delicate person who marries a ruffian and a lazy man.
"Okay, I agree."
Cheng Qiao smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Cheng Qiao..."
"Thank you, Sister Chunmei. I have to get married even if I don't want to, otherwise I won't be able to stay in this village anymore."
Han Chunmei was stunned for a moment, thinking that people in the village were spreading rumors that Cheng Qiao was held in the arms of a second-rate man. Many people had seen the situation that day. It was true that she couldn't survive without getting married. She was really a pitiful person.
Xu Laidi suddenly realized that Li Huan must be a second-rate son. She had already heard the rumors in the village that Cheng Qiao was in the arms of a second-rate son and could only marry a second-rate son.
"Cheng Qiao, you don't have to be afraid. You have us, and we are your natal family. If Li Huan bullies you, we can go to the Women's Federation."
"Yes, we can also help you find an organization."
The female educated youths started chattering and looked at Aunt Wang with indignation. Aunt Wang took a step back. She was just here to get married, not to buy or sell by force.
"Thank you, but I still agree to get married because I don't want to live in the same educated youth spot with this person. I'm afraid of being framed again."
Cheng Qiao pointed at Xu Laidi and said loudly.
Xu Laidi: "...￥%..."
"Then I'll go back. Li Huan and his mother will come over early tomorrow morning. You should get up early."
Aunt Wang turned around and ran away, as if a wolf was chasing her.
It was getting brighter the next day, and everyone in the educated youth area got up. Xiaoping and Xiaoqin went to the kitchen to make breakfast and lunch. In order to seize the time for the autumn harvest, from today onwards, no one can come back for lunch. Someone at home will deliver food.
Just bring food. If there is no one to deliver food, bring your own food.
There was a knock on the door of the Educated Youth Point, and Jiang Guangrong quickly went to open the door. He guessed that it was a second-rate man who came to give a bride price.
"Two, no, Li Huan, please, please come in..."
"Mom, Cheng Qiao lives here, let's go in."
"Hey, let's go."
Cheng Qiao heard the sound and was already standing in the courtyard of the educated youth point. Han Chunmei and Zhang Yuefang were also standing beside them. They all watched Li Huan walk in with a large bag.
Chai Jianmin smiled. He originally thought that Li Huan was a good young man, but he turned out to be a second-rate young man. God has eyes.
"Daughter, I'm here to deliver the bride price today. I would like to arrange your wedding after the grain distribution."
Mother Li felt uncomfortable looking at the white gauze on Cheng Qiao's forehead. How sad it must be for such a good girl to lose her appearance like this.
"Auntie, I listen to you."
"Hey, this is a gift of ten yuan, three feet of cotton cloth, fifty kilograms of fine grain, and one kilogram of pork. By the way, Lele, push the bicycle in."
Cheng Qiao nodded. Li Huan had told her in advance that the two-hundred-yuan gift was only ten yuan to the outside world, otherwise the Li family's accounts would not be reconciled.
