After being reborn, Shen Xiaoyue had a lot on her mind. This time, she seized the opportunity and gained the power of foresight. There were so many things she had never done in her previous life th...
Chapter 48 You Need to Have This Ability
Knowing that she was joking, Lu Pingan still raised his hand and pinched her cheek resentfully, dragging out his tone: "You only know how to bully me."
As if to vent his anger, he pulled her to the corner and secretly bit her lips twice. Only when he saw her lips turned red and were shining with water did he calm down.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Ping'an looked grim: "What if your parents don't agree and want you to be with that lunatic named Xie, you won't..."
Shen Xiaoyue: …
"Do I look like a fool?" Shen Xiaoyue laughed angrily, "I already said I was just notifying them. Whether they agree or not is none of my business."
"Could they come to this village and force Xie Ning and I to marry?"
Shen Xiaoyue said coldly: "They have always relied on family ties to bind me to meet their requirements. I was stupid before, but in fact, there is nothing they can do if I don't cooperate with them."
If the Shen family could have let her marry Xie Ning without her consent, then why would they have to rely on the Xie family to send their two daughters?
If the Xie family had that ability, would they still look up to the Shen family?
The two families are just grasshoppers on the same rope. Xie's father can be regarded as the superior of the Shen brothers. Strengthening the relationship between the two families through marriage is the most trustworthy way for both the Xie and Shen families. The Xie family has a reliable helper and the Shen family has a channel for advancement, so that they can truly achieve prosperity and adversity together.
She is not afraid of this at all.
As for Xie Ning, he also wants to go back this time.
She had heard that Zhao Linlin was very popular at home, and Secretary Zhao would try his best to give her anything within his means.
With a woman like this, Xie Ning could only coax her for a while with his words.
She should also let Xie Ning experience what it feels like to know that the college entrance examination is just around the corner but not be able to take part in it.
Lu Ping'an was coaxed by her, and happily pulled Shen Xiaoyue around in circles, hanging around in front of other people's doors with great deliberateness.
Whenever he passed by a familiar person, he would greet them enthusiastically and introduce them. If he heard someone ask, "Ping An, is this your girlfriend?", Lu Ping An would nod reservedly.
If he meets someone who is not tactful, he will stop and introduce himself to the person with a smile.
Shen Xiaoyue was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig her toes out of the ground. When Lu Ping'an pulled someone to introduce her for the fifth time, she finally couldn't help but twisted his waist and scolded him in a low voice.
“Lu Pingan, you’re almost there.”
Lu Pingan nodded to the man regretfully, and only after being forcibly pulled to the river by Shen Xiaoyue did the introduction meeting come to an end.
However, in the next few days, Wu Qingyun suffered a lot.
She was not very sociable to begin with, but today Aunt Li pulled her aside and asked Lu Pingan if he was dating someone. Tomorrow Aunt Zhang will pull her aside and praise Ping'an's girlfriend for being so beautiful.
I also bumped into Xiao Liang from next door, and his eyes were as if he was looking at someone who refused to listen and insisted on jumping into a fire pit!
While Wu Qingyun was answering others with a smile, he silently cursed Lu Ping'an in his heart, saying that he had shown the whole world around him but hadn't even brought him home to see.
Shen Zhiqing had asked him to send a lot of beautiful jewelry to himself and the women in his family, but she hadn't had a chance to express her gratitude. How could she put her face aside?
So before Lu Ping'an got anxious, Wu Qingyun got anxious first. She hinted at this brat frantically, but he remained unmoved. Every day he would either happily tinker at home and deliver meals to Shen Zhiqing, or run to the county town with a mysterious look on his face.
Don't mention coming to your house at all!
Wu Qingyun could only say: "Ping An, when will you bring Shen Zhiqing home? If the girl thinks you don't value her, and runs away in anger, you'll be the one crying!"
Lu Pingan was calm and just said to wait a moment.
He is anxious too! But there must be something necessary for the wedding, and Xiaoyue's family is unreliable, so he has to prepare more money for the bride price, right?
These days he is busy reselling handicrafts.
He bought some exquisite handicrafts and some hand-made wooden stools from the villagers at low prices, and then took them to the county town to sell them. Since they were purchased, he did not need to spend time making them, he just had to make an appointment with the villagers.
The villagers themselves do not have time to go to the county town every day, and not every household can afford a bicycle.
They can't make much by hand, and now there is someone who charges them regularly. Not only do they not feel they are at a disadvantage, they also feel they are making a profit.
Lu Ping'an contacted several companies with good skills, purchased the products in bulk, delivered them at fixed times, and then sold them in the county town. Needless to say, he made a lot of money.
Following the same practice, every household now raises chickens, and keeps the eggs for their own consumption, but few people want the chicken feathers.
Lu Ping'an bought a lot of chicken feathers at a low price, but he thought it was dirty and tiring, so he gave it to Liu Feng and Guo Tao, who made them into feather dusters and handicrafts to sell together.
In addition, he went into the back mountain every day to tinker with the wild goods and transported batches of them to the county town. Lu Ping'an felt that his pockets were getting fatter and fatter, and he finally felt more confident.
So, on a cloudless night.
While Shen Xiaoyue was kissing Lu Ping'an and tentatively trying to feel if he had abdominal muscles, he suddenly said, "Let's get married."
Shen Xiaoyue was so frightened that she lost all thoughts in an instant.
"Why so sudden?"
Lu Ping'an's eyebrows were almost wrinkled into an "eight" shape, and he said dissatisfiedly: "How can it be so sudden? We have been together for almost a month. Do you just want to play with me?"
Shen Xiaoyue shyly withdrew her hand from his waist and secretly poked it twice. Hmm, it was hard. Then she explained slowly, "Nothing happened. I just felt scared because it was too sudden."
Although she did enjoy this kind of life where she could play around without having to worry about making someone angry and unable to get out of bed.
Lu Pingan snorted and began to tell some "explosive news": "I heard from my father that the village is recruiting teachers."
Shen Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. What a great teacher! She could study openly without anyone asking her questions. The college entrance examination would be resumed in about a year, so she had to start preparing.
But Lu Pingan definitely didn't mean that.
Sure enough, he added: "Only villagers and those married to villagers are eligible to apply."
Shen Xiaoyue paused. Although Lu Ping'an had offered to help her with work after they got together, she always felt it was not good before they got married. Moreover, even if they got married, she was reluctant to let him do these things.
Applying to be a teacher in the village is undoubtedly a good opportunity and a popular position. You don’t earn much, but it’s easy. Now every household has almost no requirements for academic studies.
Shen Xiaoyue hesitated for a minute or two before agreeing.
When the two were discussing marriage, Wu Qingyun finally saw how clingy Lu Pingan was in front of his girlfriend.
Thinking that they couldn't see, he begged them to pull his fingers and stared at them with a silly smile.
It keeps circling behind people like a little tail.
Wu Qingyun really didn't want to admit that this annoying guy was his son.
Knowing how much Lu Ping'an cherished Shen Zhiqing, Lu Guodong and Wu Qingyun were also very serious.
They thought that at least three turns and one ring would be needed, plus 88 yuan as a betrothal gift.
Most of it was earned by Lu Pingan himself, and the portion they contributed was the same as that given to his eldest and second sons.
Lu Ping'an felt that it was not enough, so he increased it to 188.
Shen Xiaoyue was shocked. In his previous life, Xie Ning only gave her a sewing machine, a bicycle, and 66 yuan, which was already very generous, although Xie Ning ended up riding the bicycle to school himself.
And the Shen family also returned a lot.
