Yi Anan hurried to the door and brought her basket over. When she turned around, there was no seat left.

Tang Aren, who was sitting in the back row, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "You are carrying things, and you are a woman, it is not convenient, you can sit here with me!"

Yi Anan wanted to talk to Tang A'ren, so she nodded quickly and walked over with the basket.

Just when Yi Anan walked in front of Tang A'ren, the bus driver started the car. Yi Anan lost her balance and almost fell down.

Tang A'ren quickly stretched out his arm and supported Yi An'an.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhan Nanhui who was standing outside the car.

Zhan Nanhui frowned instinctively, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

At this moment on the bus, Yi Anan almost fell into Tang A'ren's arms, and the educated youth traveling with him couldn't help but scream.

Tang A'ren immediately became serious and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing? This elder sister is already married. You are not doing a good job on her!"

Yi Anan was stunned for a moment. It was true that her elder sister... was married, but how did Tang A'ren know about it?

Yi Anan then remembered that when she was in the car just now, Zhan Nanhui seemed to call her "wife". At that time, her mind was completely focused on the joy of meeting Tang A'ren again, and she didn't notice it.

"Sister, I'm sorry, they like to joke, don't take it seriously." Tang A'ren said, letting Yi An'an sit in his seat. He walked a little lower, holding the armrest of the chair, and stood aside.

"Sister, I see you are not very old. Why do you want to get married so early?" At this moment, an educated youth who was traveling with Tang A'ren asked.

Tang A'ren was standing slightly sideways, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn his attention over here.

Yi Anan looked to be about eighteen years old. Although it was normal to get married at such an old age in the countryside, Yi Anan's conversation and behavior did not seem like that of an ignorant country girl. Generally, people of this age wanted to go out to school or participate in job recruitment in the city and were unwilling to stay in the countryside all their lives.

Yi Anan smiled helplessly. If it weren’t for the special circumstances that night, she would never have been entangled with Zhan Nanhui.

"I understand. Was it because of the pressure from your family?" asked an educated youth.

Seeing that Yi An'an didn't want to talk, Tang A'ren couldn't help but interrupt the educated youth, "Why are you so gossipy? You don't even know her, it's so rude to ask her questions like that!"

The educated youth was a little unhappy, "Oh, you feel pain now?"

Tang A'ren frowned, looked at Yi An'an, and whispered, "I'm really sorry, we are used to joking around!"

Yi Anan smiled faintly, trying to find out more about Tang A'ren, "What are you doing in the city? To buy study materials?"

"Why buy study materials? We have only graduated from junior high school. The educated youth center only allows us to apply for high school and won't let us apply, saying it's a waste of quota!" said one of the educated youths, with a sigh in his tone.

Yi Anan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed.

She thought that Tang A'ren didn't get into university because he wasn't a good student. Now it seems that he was not qualified to take the college entrance examination from the beginning.

Missing this wave of college entrance examinations, the educated youth will return to their hometowns next year. The educated youth can return to the place where their parents are, but because Tang A'ren himself is an orphan and has no parents, he will not return to his hometown and will stay in the countryside for the rest of his life.

Tang A'ren stood in front of Yi An'an, looking a little lost. He smiled helplessly: "There is no way. I went to the countryside when I was in high school, so..."

"It's okay, there will always be a way out!" Yi Anan said, and then took another look at the cross-body bag that Tang A'ren was carrying. It said Dongjiazui, a village ten miles away from Yanjia Village, which was not very close. Thinking back then, no one in the village saved her daughter who fell into the water, but Tang A'ren went into the water and rescued Xiaoni. It seems that this is also fate.

Tang A'ren knew that what Yi An'an said were words of comfort, so he just smiled faintly.

When getting off the car, Tang A'ren saw that Yi An'an was struggling to carry the basket, so he offered to help her carry it down.

"You're going to the supply and marketing cooperative? We're going to buy things too, so let's go together!" Tang A'ren said. He never handed the basket to Yi An'an, but carried it all the way.

Yi Anan did not refuse and followed Tang A'ren to the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as Yi An'an entered the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yi Jixiang saw her, and immediately walked out from behind the counter, stepped forward, and blocked Yi An'an: "Yi An'an, what are you doing here?"

Yi Anan didn't want to talk to Yi Jixiang, so she looked around, trying to find President Han of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Yi An'an, let me tell you, don't think that you can get this job just by saying a few bad things about me to our President Han. You are married now and no longer eligible to work in the city. You should just go back and serve your bad man!"

Yi An'an didn't want to pay attention to Yi Jixiang, but she didn't expect this woman to push her too far. She said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way. I want to see your president!"

"Meet our president? Do you think our president is someone you can meet just because he's a person?" The little girl who was selling pickles with Yi Jixiang also stepped forward to help, "I advise you to leave quickly. You sold things in front of our supply and marketing cooperative before and stole our business. We haven't even settled accounts with you yet!"

The educated youths who came with Tang A'ren saw Yi An'an quarreling with the members of the supply and marketing cooperative, so they quickly pulled Tang A'ren and whispered, "Let's stay away from this woman. Look, she's quarreling with others. The members of the supply and marketing cooperative have great power, and we can't afford to offend them, otherwise we won't be able to buy anything!"

Tang A'ren frowned slightly. He was an outsider and didn't know how to help Yi An'an, but he didn't avoid Yi An'an like his companions did.

Yi Jixiang looked up at Tang A'ren who was standing next to Yi An'an, and couldn't help but sneer: "Another man has been replaced, where is the bad guy?"

Yi Anan frowned. Today she just wanted to cooperate with the supply and marketing cooperative to sell pickles. She didn't want to pay attention to Yi Jixiang. She didn't expect Yi Jixiang to seek death!

"What are you doing?" At this moment, President Han of the supply and marketing cooperative came out and shouted in a deep voice.

Those members who were watching the fun quickly returned to their posts.

Yi Jixiang quickly said to President Han: "President Han, I'm sorry, my sister is causing trouble for our commune again, I'm going to chase her away now!"

Yi An'an didn't say anything, but walked forward and opened the basket in Tang A'ren's hand. There were more than a dozen earthen jars in it. She opened the lids of the jars one by one, and a burst of fresh fragrance wafted out.

"Stir-fried chili peppers, hot and sour cabbage, chopped green onions, pickled eight treasures in sauce, as well as fragrant dried radish, stinky tofu, radish with shrimp oil, and pickled coriander. This is the pickled eight treasures I made. President Han, would you please take a look and try some?" Yi Anan introduced them one by one.
