From the afternoon of the day when they proposed their marriage, Ji Shuying and Bai Xiu became busy. They found several good companies and agreed in advance to help.
A lot of seasonal vegetables were planted inside and outside Bai Xiuyuan. For two days in a row, I didn't even work, so I took Feng Yanhong and bought a lot of things home.
Li Boshan was originally going to go back to work after taking the exam, but he didn't expect to be driven back by the team leader on his first day at work.
Let him rest at home for a few days and then go back to work after the engagement is completed. He also said that he and Master Hong would be there on the day of his engagement.
Li Boshan didn't have to go to work, so he took care of all the heavy work and errands as a matter of course.
She couldn't take care of things in the store these days. She originally wanted to discuss with Feng Yanjun to close the shop for a few days, but Feng Yanjun insisted that she could handle it, so she could prepare less things and get off work early. He would go back to the store on the day of the engagement.
Close the door and come back to help.
Early in the morning on the day of the engagement, the small courtyard of the Feng family was very busy, and there were many big fish and meat. Bai Xiu meant that since they were all invited, it would be better to invite everyone in the team. How could there be any concessions?
The reason why women and children are not allowed to attend the table is to not be too stingy in doing things.
In addition, a large pot stove was set up in the team's drying area, and several middle-aged women wearing aprons led them while picking vegetables and laughing.
The men took tables, chairs and benches from various houses and went to the drying ground to set up the place. Even the children were busy collecting firewood to light the fire, doing small things, laughing and playing around...
Feng Yanhong hasn't seen such a scene in many years. In her memory, when she was a child, it seemed that the team had always had such an atmosphere. At that time, no matter who on the team had a happy event, the team would kill sheep and pigs.
Eat a big pot of rice on the drying ground.
I don’t know when it started, but the atmosphere in the team changed. Everyone became unfamiliar, guarded against each other, and pushed against each other...
In fact, this is much better than it was in the future. In the 1990s, farms were subcontracted to each household. Because of the land allocation and contracting issues, there were fights, mutual dislike, and even hatred.
In the past, every time Yanjun told her these things, she would listen to them with gusto. Now that she thinks about herself at that time, she was really narrow-minded.
Is it because people have changed? It doesn't seem to be the case. The main reason is that the interests are not unified, and everyone's hearts are no longer together.
How many times can there be a scene like this where young and old all contribute their efforts?
She likes this scene very much, but she has never thought about changing anything. After all, society is progressing and no one can control such changes, let alone what she can do.
"Yanhong, please stop working here. Just go back to the house, change your clothes, and wait in the house. There is no reason to let the bride-to-be do the work."
"Your Aunt Zhang is right, go back to the house quickly. Haha~ Bai Xiu, look how pretty your daughter is. To be honest, only your daughter can match up to the big boy in Li Li's family."
"If I get admitted to college again, it will be even worse in the future."
"Didn't the eldest son of Captain Li's family say he won't take the exam? Why did he suddenly have to take the exam again?"
"I want to get a wife."
There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, which made Feng Yanhong unable to stay in the courtyard at all, and returned to the house with a blushing face.
After a while, she heard from her mother that she wanted to take a look at the drying field. Feng Yanhong had changed her clothes in the house and was almost restless in the house.
In my previous life, my engagement was not such a big deal, but my family and the Zheng family also invited several leaders from the team to set up two tables at home.
She had not expected that this engagement would create such a big scene.
"If the Li family hadn't been in trouble, I'm afraid that the eldest son of the Li family wouldn't have had the chance to deal with Feng Taizhou..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, the girl is still in the house."
The voices of those people became quieter, but they never stopped. The way they looked at the window and pointed made her laugh.
Is this here to help or to poke fun at her family?
These women are the so-called people who have a good relationship with her mother.
Feng Yanhong pursed her lips and looked outside. She calmly turned up the volume of the radio.
I'm not angry in my heart. Even if his family is not in trouble, it's not the girls' turn, right?
Who can control the mouths of these women?
As long as she can get along with these people and get along well, her mother must have thought so too, otherwise her mother wouldn't have rarely visited her over the years.
When dinner was about to start at noon, Li Boshan saw two figures. They kept looking in the direction of the sunbathing area, but they never came over.
"Is that the one from the Zheng family, named Zheng Qiaozhen?" It was too far away, so Li Boshan wasn't sure, so he grabbed Feng Yanhong and showed her only.
Feng Yanhong raised her head and pointed in the direction he was pointing. She looked over and said, "I'll go take a look."
Feng Yanhong walked over quickly, but the two of them turned around and left as if embarrassed.
"Qiaozhen?" Feng Yanhong chased after her.
Their backs stiffened and they stood there, hesitating for a moment before slowly turning around.
"I, I didn't know you were getting married today, and I didn't want to disturb you." Zheng Qiaozhen looked at Feng Yanhong in a red dress. She seemed to have done something wrong, with an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm not getting married today, I'm just engaged. Originally, I wanted to find you after the engagement. Who is this?"
When Feng Yanhong looked at the girl carefully, she was stunned, Zhang Yun?!
How did she meet Zheng Qiaozhen?
The technique of making cold skin was taught to her by Zhang Yun in her previous life. At that time, Zhang Yun pushed a tricycle on the street and set up a small stall on the roadside.
She would occasionally meet her when she was working at the stall, and later they got to know her better. She discovered that Zhang Yun was actually a very warm-hearted woman. Later, Zhang Yun told her his recipe for making cold skin without reservation.
Originally, the relationship between the two was good, and they even planned to open a store together. But for some reason, one day, Zhang Yun suddenly started to dislike her.
He seemed bored even saying a word to her, and later even stopped showing up at the places where she usually shopped.
She still hasn't figured out how she offended her and made her disgusted to that point.
"My fellow countryman, Zhang Yun, the fellow who came to Yincheng with me, said she wanted to come over and thank you." Zheng Qiaozhen blushed and looked at the sunbathing area behind Feng Yanhong.
Feng Yanhong was only in a daze for a short time and did not show much abnormality.
"Hello Comrade Zhang Yun, my name is Feng Yanhong."
"Hello." Zhang Yun had a timid look in his eyes and wiped his hands before shaking hands with Feng Yanhong.
"Come with me and have a meal before leaving."
"But, we didn't bring anything..."
Zheng Qiaozhen and Zhang Yun were both a little embarrassed. They only had enough money to go back by car, so how could they have any money to buy her things.
"It's just a meal. They didn't bring anything. Come with me."
Feng Yanhong's words were not just to comfort them. When they got engaged, guests really didn't need to give gifts. When they got married, it was just a symbol. A bag of candy or two dollars could be considered a gift.
No one expects to make much money from a wedding, so getting married at this time requires some financial resources.
