Chapter 49 Chapter 49 There is no one more suitable than them in the whole area...

Even when he was going down the mountain, Zheng Jiamin was still a little dizzy and looked as if he didn't know what year it was. The fact that his good brother suddenly started dating was really too much of a shock for him.

Wang Qiutong was also in a trance.

But girls are more sensitive after all. During the autumn harvest, she actually felt that Fu Mingze was particularly easy to talk to Chen Moer, unlike when he was at the educated youth point, when he was cold to everyone. In addition, Chen Moer risked her life to speak for Fu Mingze in front of the Revolutionary Committee, so she secretly felt that the two of them were getting close.

I saw them holding hands with my own eyes today, and Fu Mingze even admitted personally that they were dating... Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem too surprising.

Because the shock was so great, the two of them didn't talk much along the way.

It was not until they entered the village that Zheng Jiamin suddenly said to Fu Mingze in a gloomy voice, "I didn't expect you to achieve your goal of moving out of the educated youth camp so soon. Brother, don't you feel guilty about leaving me alone like this?"

Fu Mingze looked at him and said nothing, too lazy to answer such a question.

Zheng Jiamin didn't actually expect Fu Mingze to answer. He just thought that he was still lamenting that he couldn't find a way to move out of the educated youth site a few days ago, and now, in the blink of an eye, Fu Mingze was about to move out.

"No wonder you asked me to help Comrade Shen's family build a new house. It turns out that this house is built for you!" Zheng Jiamin sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It certainly wasn't what I meant at the time, but it seems to have turned out to be the result.

So it was really hard for Fu Mingze to refute this.

He simply didn't refute and let Zheng Jiamin chatter there. Sure enough, after venting, Zheng Jiamin quickly calmed down and his attention returned to the gains from today's trip up the mountain.

"I really have a pair of sharp eyes. There was such a lush clump of firewood, and the rabbit was cunning. It hid there and couldn't escape. I didn't expect it to be discovered by me. Hehe."

Speaking of this, Zheng Jiamin suddenly felt a little proud.

At that time, he discovered a rabbit in the grass, so he turned around and called Fu Mingze and the others. But when he turned around, he found that Fu Mingze was holding Comrade Shen Moer's hand... Fortunately, Comrade Shen Moer reacted quickly and had good skills, otherwise the rabbit would have run away and they would have suffered a great loss.

Caught two rabbits!

A pheasant, two rabbits and two baskets of chestnuts, they really had a great harvest today!

Wang Qiutong also became excited and held Shen Moer's hand and shook it: "Comrade Moer, you are so, so awesome!!!"

After the four people returned to the Shen family's courtyard, they began to get busy.

Fu Mingze and Zheng Jiamin were undoubtedly responsible for killing chickens and rabbits. Fu Mingze had watched it several times, and this time he did not ask Shen Moer for help. He killed a chicken and a rabbit very quickly.

The remaining rabbit that had luckily escaped was temporarily locked up in an empty chicken coop.

Chen Moer and Wang Qiutong were responsible for washing rice and vegetables. Soon the loach stewed with tofu was put into the pot. Soon the tempting aroma spread in the yard with the rising steam.

When Aunt Chen brought Maomao over, the pheasant was already stewed. The delicious aroma of the chicken soup made Maomao swallow his saliva: "It smells so good!"

"Oh, I was thinking of coming over earlier to help, but it seems like I won't be needed anymore. This is burning so deliciously, Maomao, we are in for a treat today."

Having said that, Aunt Chen quickly went into the kitchen, drove out Zheng Jiamin and Wang Qiutong who were obviously not able to help, and left Fu Mingze alone to light the fire. Then she rolled up her sleeves and started working in a hurry.

From time to time, she would glance at Shen Moer who was cooking and Fu Mingze who was making the fire, and her eyes would narrow as she smiled, thinking what a perfect pair they were!

With the help of Aunt Chen, the cooking speed increased rapidly. When there was only one dish left to cook, Fu Mingze was also sent out. He and Zheng Jiamin rode their bikes to the village to call people for dinner.

This is how it is these days. People don't know how to keep track of time. When inviting people to dinner, guests are afraid that if they arrive too early, the host may not have cooked the food yet. Not only will they have to wait, but they will also appear to be greedy, so guests generally don't arrive too early.

Therefore, when the meal is almost ready, the host will usually ask the younger generation in the family to come and call again to show respect, so as to avoid wasting time by having people wait for each other.

After the bicycles went around, people from all over the country came one after another. Zhou Mancang, Ding Shouchang, Zhou Peijun and others came alone, while Zhou Qingguo came with his baby, Congcong, in his arms.

When everyone sat down at the table, Congcong looked at the large jars of meat on the table, and her saliva fell on the table.

Shen Shaoyuan always liked chubby little girls. When he saw Cong Cong's appearance, he immediately smiled and put half a chicken leg into her bowl: "Eat it!"

Seeing the baby grabbing the bone with his bare hands and chewing it, he smiled and raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you all for coming. I have informed you all before, and now I will officially announce it again. Our Moer and Fu Mingze, the educated youth, have officially established a relationship. Due to the current situation, we will not go through the engagement process. We invite everyone to come today to be witnesses and regard it as an engagement."

Everyone present smiled immediately and cast friendly, yet somewhat teasing glances at Chen Moer and Fu Mingze.

Aunt Chen said with a smile: "Although I am a matchmaker who picked up a ready-made match, I dare say that there is no more suitable couple than them in this area!"

Zhou Mancang's usually serious face also showed a rare smile: "Although Fu Zhiqing has not been in our brigade for a long time, I can see that he is a capable and down-to-earth young man. He is a good match for Moer. You two should study and make progress together in the future."

The others also echoed, and even Congcong, who was gnawing on a chicken bone, said in a baby voice: "Okay, a pair, good!"

Maomao ate the meat with big mouthfuls, his eyes rolling around, looking at Chen Moer, then at Fu Mingze, thinking, I knew it a long time ago, Sister Moer and Fu Zhiqing are dating, huh!

Shen Shaoyuan still held up the wine cup: "Of course, today I would like to thank everyone for protecting Fu Mingze. Please take care of these two young people in the future."

"This glass of wine is for everyone."

As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zheng Jiamin took the lead in cheering.

Zhou Peijun, who was most familiar with Shen Laoqi among the people present, couldn't help but say, "Laoqi, you are different now that you are a worker. You speak in a very sophisticated way. You really look like an intellectual!"

Zhou Qingguo: "He is from the Propaganda Department. If he can be promoted to a regular cadre, then he is a cadre. If not a cultured person, then what is he?"

Zhou Mancang smiled and said, "This wine is really good."

Grain is very expensive these days, and few people are willing to use grain to make wine, and no one is willing to spend money to buy loose wine from the supply and marketing cooperatives, so people really don’t have many opportunities to drink.

The others couldn't taste anything either. They just thought the wine smelled nice and didn't irritate their throats. Unlike Zhou Mancang, who had more opportunities to drink and could taste the quality of wine.

Zheng Jiamin could also taste something. His father was a wine lover and his family was well off. They would buy a few bottles of wine from time to time and occasionally buy some high-end bottled wine to drink. He felt that none of the wine was as mellow as the wine in the small wine glass in front of him.

In fact, Fu Mingze could also drink it. After all, he was born in a bourgeois family, and his elders in his family still had some "bourgeois style" that was difficult to change behind closed doors. Not to mention domestic wine, he had also drunk foreign liquor.

However, he also knew that his father-in-law was highly valued by the kiln factory, and the Propaganda Department was a prestigious department, so it was not surprising that he could get some good wine.

Given the financial constraints of her father-in-law's family, he didn't secretly exchange the good wine for money, but instead used it to entertain guests today. Fu Mingze couldn't help but once again refresh her father-in-law's perception of how much he loved his daughter.

Of course, he benefited from it and was naturally grateful in his heart.

Fu Mingze consciously refilled Shen Shaoyuan's cup, and then filled the cups of others. He raised his cup and said to Shen Shaoyuan first: "Seventh Uncle, thank you!"

Then he said to the others: "Thank you all too!"

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

"Oh, you call him Uncle Seven now, but you should call him Daddy soon!" Aunt Chen said with a smile. As a matchmaker, she was very conscientious and asked Shaoyuan, "When are the two children going to get married?"

Shen Shaoyuan finished his drink slowly, glanced at Shen Moer who was being whispered to by Wang Qiutong, and said, "Next month, we will get the certificate first, and then host two tables of wine, and you all can come then."

Zheng Jiamin immediately took the lead in making a noise again. When Maomao and Congcong heard that they could come to eat again next time, they were so happy that they started to make a noise. When Wang Qiutong saw that the two naughty kids were also making a noise, she no longer felt embarrassed and started to make a noise too.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely lively, and Zhou Peijun slammed the table and said, "The wedding of the girl from our eighth team must be celebrated with great fanfare!"

Shen Moer then toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

Later, even Maomao and the baby Congcong came to join in the fun, holding wine cups filled with chicken soup to toast everyone, making the group of adults laugh.

After the meal, everyone was a little drunk. Fu Mingze asked Zheng Jiamin and Wang Qiutong to go back first, and he stayed to help clean up the mess.

Fu Mingze took the initiative to take on the job of washing the dishes, and Shen Moer took the broom to sweep the floor. Shen Shaoyuan came in and glanced at them, said nothing, and took away a small bowl of chicken soup that had been prepared on the stove.

Fu Mingze raised his eyebrows but didn't ask.

After Shen Shaoyuan left, Shen Moer whispered, "This is for Lao Wang in the cowshed next door. I don't know when they got in touch. My father thinks Lao Wang is knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience. He is very happy to chat with him."

But I always look for people when no one can see me. Sometimes, if I make something good at home, I will give some to others.

Old Wang is not young anymore. He lives in a cowshed and eats bran and vegetables all day long. He is very thin. Shen Moer has seen him a few times occasionally and sometimes worries whether he can survive the winter.

Shen Shaoyuan and Lao Wang got along well. Fortunately, they lived at the entrance of the village, and villagers would not come here normally, so it was difficult for other people to discover the contact between Shen Shaoyuan and Lao Wang.

But Fu Mingze is different. If they live together in the future, he will find out even if I don’t tell him.

Since she was going to marry him, Shen Moer would naturally not hide other matters at home from him except for the time travel and the treasure house.

The matter of time travel was too shocking. Not only was the existence of the treasure house unbelievable, but the money was also tempting. Unless it was necessary, Shen Moer was not going to tell anyone about it.

Fu Mingze wiped the bowl and asked thoughtfully, "Don't you think it's bad to have contact with bad guys like Lao Wang?"

Shen Moer was slightly startled, and then she thought that Fu Mingze was an educated youth who responded to the country's call and enthusiastically participated in rural construction. It is said that these people all have particularly lofty ideals and firm beliefs, of course, except for Yang Qingqing and Shi Wei.

Especially Fu Mingze, who is a determined person. Shen Moer thought about it and said, "It is definitely not good to have contact with bad elements, but as the old saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle. If we occasionally grasp the ideological dynamics of bad elements, it will actually be helpful to supervise and reform them."

She even tried to make up for what she said earlier: "After all, Old Wang is from the capital. He seems to have worked in a very important department before. It is an objective fact that he is knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience. Of course, my father will definitely take the essence and discard the dross."

Fu Mingze, who originally just wanted to test it out, said: "..."

I understand now. The target is indeed a proletarian with a red bloodline. He has a very firm revolutionary will and a strong critical consciousness.

The only consolation is that neither his partner nor his father-in-law are the kind of people who would judge someone with one blow. They treat Lao Wang critically and even secretly give him chicken soup.

In order to prevent the other party from experiencing unnecessary trouble and struggle, Fu Mingze swallowed back the words that were about to be confessed.

I thought to myself, I should wait until I have no choice but to speak out before accepting the criticism from the other person.

Normally speaking, there are not many times when you have to say it.

The elders in the family made arrangements based on everyone's situation, and asked someone to make some changes to everyone's file information. Now the Fu family members are scattered all over the country, so it's hard for even their own family members to contact them, let alone find out their files.

Fu Mingze pondered for a moment, and followed Shen Moer's words and said, "You are right, take the essence and discard the dross, and always be vigilant."

Shen Moer: “…”

I took a look at the handsome and upright face of my target and thought to myself, it’s a good thing you don’t know that I’m a “feudal remnant”, otherwise I don’t know how to warn you against me.

The two of them were thinking about their own things, but they didn't slow down at all, and soon finished the work. Then one of them took a flashlight and the other carried a bucket to fetch water from the brigade yard.

As soon as they got nearby, they saw a skinny figure by the well. When they saw them, he picked up the bucket and ran away quickly like a frightened rabbit, soon disappearing into the courtyard under the night.

Fu Mingze: "...Is that the small landlord the villagers are talking about?"

Shen Moer shone the flashlight into the well: “Yes, his name is Lin Kaicheng.”

After thinking about it, Shen Moer told the story of Lin Kaicheng warning someone that someone was stealing bricks in the middle of the night. "I wanted to give him something to thank him, but every time I knocked on the door, he wouldn't open it. Every time Lin Kaicheng saw me, he would hide as far away as he could, just like a mouse seeing a cat."

"Maybe he doesn't want to cause trouble."

Fu Mingze picked up the bucket and walked back, saying, "If there's anything I can do to help you, just give me a hand."

Shen Moer glanced at him in the dark. She was deeply relieved that the man was not someone who only knew about class struggle and did not know how to be grateful.

The two of them carried several buckets of water together and stopped only when the water tank was half full.

Store some water at home at night just in case, so that you won’t be in a panic whether there is a fire or you suddenly need water.

Fu Mingze put down the bucket, looked at the closed gate, turned around and grabbed Shen Moer who was about to go out, and called out softly, "Dear."

Shen Moer paused, she felt that his clear and low voice was like a hook drilling into her ears, making her feel numb and itchy, and her face suddenly became hot.

She turned her head to look at Fu Mingze. The light of the kerosene lamp was a little dim, outlining the lines of the man's face clearly. He looked at her with bright eyes and said with a smile: "We have officially confirmed our relationship, should we hug each other?"

Without waiting for Shen Moer to answer, he stretched out his long arms and easily held her in his arms.

The moment she involuntarily threw herself into his arms, Shen Moer felt her heart immediately beat violently. Her body stiffened slightly, and she felt the strange and warm breath on him unnaturally. For a long while, he did not move. Shen Moer gradually relaxed and put her arms around his thin waist.

Yes, if we round it off, they are getting engaged today.

At such a close distance, Shen Moer felt as if she could hear his slightly faster heartbeat, and also felt his faint warm breath. She felt a little uncomfortable, her ears felt itchy, and they were getting hotter and hotter.

After a while, she finally couldn't help struggling, and then she felt the person in front of her suddenly bent down, and the next moment, the man leaned over and kissed her.

His lips pressed against hers, pausing briefly at first, with a hint of soothing, before becoming forceful, quickly prying open her lips and beginning his conquest.

Shen Moer subconsciously wanted to push him away, but he held her tighter in his arms. She couldn't hold on any longer and her body slightly bent backwards. His hands immediately supported her waist. The hot temperature from his palms was transmitted to her skin through the thin fabric of her clothes, so hot that Shen Moer dared not move anymore.

He looked like a very cold and proud person, but this kiss was extremely passionate and full of possessiveness.

Shen Moer's whole body softened, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on his waist, her fingers unconsciously rubbing against that soft skin.

Fu Mingze paused in his kiss, and finally let her go after a while. He buried his head in the crook of her neck and sighed deeply, his breath spraying on her sensitive neck. His voice was right beside her ear, with a hint of suppressed hoarseness, like an accusation: "My love, I can't stand it if you keep touching me."

Shen Moer stopped moving her hands immediately, remained silent for a while, pushed him away, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Fu Mingze smiled softly and said indulgently, "Well, I was just talking nonsense."

But he soon sighed, reluctantly let go of Shen Moer, and said, “I have to leave quickly, otherwise my father-in-law will probably beat me when he comes back.”

As he said this, he tilted his head and kissed his blushing girlfriend on the face. Then he stood up slightly, stroked her messy hair, and reluctantly said again: "I'm really leaving."

This time, Fu Mingze let go of her hand without waiting for Shen Moer to react. He gave Shen Moer a last deep look, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Shen Moer stood there in a daze for a long while, then looked out through the open door of the kitchen. When she saw Fu Mingze open the courtyard gate, he turned around and looked at her. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he turned and ran out.

Almost immediately his figure disappeared into the dark night.

This lecher!

Shen Moer couldn't help but curse secretly and patted her still hot cheeks.

After thinking about it, she quickly realized that what Fu Mingze said was actually right. If her father saw them... her father would probably beat Fu Mingze up.

Thinking of this, Shen Moer ran to the house to get a towel, poured water and quickly washed up. Just when she had just washed her face, the courtyard door creaked again, and Shen Moer shouted loudly: "Dad?"

Shen Shaoyuan responded, and then asked, "Are they all gone?"

Shen Moer knew that he was actually asking about Fu Mingze, so she immediately laughed and said, “Well, the pretty boy is gone too.”

Shen Shaoyuan seemed to sneer, and then Shen Moer heard the sound of the courtyard door closing and bolting.

Shen Moer poured out the water for washing, shouted "Dad, go to bed early", and then hurried into the house before Shen Shaoyuan came over.

When Shen Shaoyuan closed the gate and walked in, he saw his own daughter hurried into the inner room without even looking back at him.

Shen Shaoyuan stood there and looked at it for a while, then said "tsk".
