all well-off, which could be seen from their attire.The house was very clean and tidy. The furnishings were also understated and luxurious, clearly meant for entertaining guests. Lianyi was very plea...After leaving something behind, Liàn Yī left Zhao Jǐngchéng's residence and called her companions to follow. She was very confident that the other party would agree, after all, these things did not harm him, and were even beneficial to him.
Zhao Jingcheng sat by the kang table, staring at the two bamboo baskets on the ground. He furrowed his brow in thought, went to the family cellar and brought out a frozen piece of mutton, locked the courtyard gate, and then went to the deputy captain's house.
After returning, the three of them dealt with eating some food casually and then began to review their books.
Now that Pan Nuannuan is gone, they don't need to be so secretive. And the male educated youths would definitely shout at the door if they came looking for them, they wouldn't just barge in, so there's no fear of being discovered.
Wang Xiufen took the longest time among the three to discard her books, and she was also the most diligent. After two hours of studying, Lianyi called a stop, asking both of them to rest for a while. Studying also requires work-life balance and shouldn't be done to exhaustion.
"Ripple, I estimate that in two days, my family will be able to send me the textbooks. My foundation is weak, and the longest time I put down my books is when I review them. I want to review the middle school textbooks first, and then look at the high school textbooks."
Wang Xiufen carefully took a sip of the freshly brewed malt milk, which Lianyi had specially taken out to supplement the nutrition for the three people.
At first, the two of them refused. They had already received a lot of help from Lin and didn't want to take advantage of her any longer. They weren't Pan Nuan Nuan after all.
In the end, it was Lianyi who said she didn't like cooking. She asked the two of them to each cook a meal of "zhiqing" style dishes for her once, and only then did they accept her kindness.
"That's good too, laying a solid foundation so that later review won't be so strenuous, and there's plenty of time. My mother is still looking for practice books, she'll send them to me when she finds some. I'll still do as many as I can then."
"Come on, everyone!"
Zheng Xinquan was full of energy, clenching her fists.
But lately the atmosphere in the village has been bad, making me afraid to even go outside.
Zheng Xin immediately complained.
"I heard from Jingcheng that the two black bears are still in the old shrine!"
The ripples whispered softly.
"Well, I heard there were rumors about Pan Nuannuan and Zhao Zhuanzizi being creepy, so I'm too scared to go near the old ancestral hall."
"Are you saying the local police will come"
"He'll definitely come, this involves human lives."
"Oh! What do you think will happen to Chen Jiashu"
Zheng Xin whispered.
"Just follow what the higher-ups decide! Maybe he'll turn his misfortune into good fortune and return to the city."
Ripples said unconcernedly.
He is already disabled, what could he do even if he returned to the city He would still be a burden on his family.
Wang Xiufen said in a low voice.
"Alright, those aren't our concerns. Let's get started reviewing!"
Ripples couldn't sympathize with Chan Ka-shui, she hadn't done anything to Chan Ka-shui. She simply retracted the original body's generosity, and it was no one else's fault that she ended up like this.
The next day at noon, just after the educated youths finished their lunch, Cao's wife, the deputy captain's wife, brought in two aunts from Zhaojia's family.
"Oh my! Everyone's here! Caoshini came to announce the good news!"
Cao Shen, dressed in a light blue tunic, smiled brightly and addressed the crowd gathered in the courtyard.
"Aunt Cao, what good thing is it that you had to come in person"
Qian Jianguo smiled and asked, "As I've been here the longest, I even know the deputy captain's wife."
"As for this auspicious occasion of uniting two families, I naturally had to come in person! Both of these ladies are the aunts-in-law of the Zhao family's main branch. We represent Zhao Jingcheng and have come to formally propose marriage to Wu Zhiqing."
Aunt Cao beamed and said loudly, her gaze sweeping across Lian'er.
Ripple pretended to be embarrassed, pursing her lips into a shy smile before lowering her head and whispering:
"Aunt, thank you for going out of your way."
It was obvious that he knew the other person would be coming today.
The male educated youths were somewhat dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that in such a short time, Wu classmate had already found his revolutionary companion.
"Aunt Cao, please come in and sit down, don't stand out in the yard. It's cold outside!"
Wang Xiufen immediately spoke up, inviting the three visitors into the female educated youth's room.
Upon seeing Wu Lianyi's expression, Cao Shn knew that this matter was indeed planned between the two young people. The young lady was also willing, otherwise she would have driven them away long ago.
Yesterday afternoon, Jing Cheng brought something to find her, and she was taken aback. She didn't expect Jing Cheng to quietly find himself a wife, and still a young intellectual. However, after learning that it was the Wu intellectual he had rescued, she agreed to run this trip.
Three people entered the room, explained their intentions, and presented a dowry. Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin both nodded silently after seeing it. Besides the things Ripple had sent yesterday, Zhao Jingcheng had added several more items with sincerity.
"Wu Zhiqing, this is Jingcheng's sincerity. Now it's up to you to nod your head."
Auntie Cao smiled and said.
Ripple pretended to be bashful, nodding her head slightly as if agreeing to the matter.
"Alright, I'll go tell Jingcheng right away. As for the wedding arrangements, you should sit down and discuss them properly."
Auntie Cao said with a smile all over her face.
“As a young intellectual, I responded to the national call and came to the most remote place to receive re-education. It's lucky that I can find a revolutionary comrade here. Don't make things too complicated. Let's have a simple ceremony. Invite respected villagers and fellow students from the educated youth point to have a meal together. Just get everyone together for some lively conversation.”
Even the ripples laughed.
"Good! Wu Zhiqing is still the most insightful one! I'll make sure to pass on your message."
After Cao's mother finished speaking, she quickly took the two aunts and left to deliver a message to Zhao Jingcheng and discuss the marriage.
The male educated youths then started teasing the couple, asking when they had fallen for each other. Lian Yi pretended to be shy and bashful, leaving it to Wang Xiu Fen and Zheng Xin to explain the situation to everyone, one after another.
Qian Jian Guo was the oldest and most experienced. He called Lian Yi out alone and shared his concerns:
"Wu Tongxue, have you thought it over If you marry someone here, there's no going back."
"Consider it. As long as we find the right person, anything is possible. Besides, who knows what the future holds Opportunities can come at any time!"
As long as you don't regret it, we will definitely support you! Zhiqingdian is your home. If you are wronged, you can always come back.
Qian JianGuo has the demeanor of an older brother and feels that Lian Yi is young, so he also wants to support her.
"Thanks, Lao Qian! You're the best person in this whole rural work camp!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although the wedding should be kept simple, it shouldn't be too shabby. If you need anything, everyone will help you get it together.
"Well, thank you all first."
Besides, Chen Jiashu will be returning to the countryside in a few days.
Qian Jian Guo could tell that Chen Jia Shu had always been interested in Wu Lian Yi, and before he was hanging around her just wanting the benefits without being willing to put anything in. He looked down on this kind of man, but it was after all their own business, and as an outsider he couldn't interfere.
Luckily, Wu Tong had experienced a life-and-death situation and woke up to reality. He chose Zhao Jingcheng. He knew that young man, though he was thinner than before and liked to be alone. However, he was a good person, and Wu Tong had even traded game with him before. He was a reliable guy.f an hour. He was also afraid something might go wrong on the other side.He tiptoed into the ward and found that the woman was still in the same sleeping position as when he left. The woman beside her...
