This was their last day away, and everyone seemed unusually busy.

Some are going back to their parents' home, others are visiting friends.

Hua Xiangyun also went to say goodbye to a few of her companions on her own.

Wu Yanxin saw that Hua Xiangyun was not being taken home, but instead being dragged out of the yard.

"Since you're here, come with me to buy some things."

Hua Xiangyun: "Aren't you going to school soon? Why are you buying things?"

"There's nothing we can do. Our family has all the ration coupons from here. You don't know how rare nationwide passes are these days; we simply can't get one."

I can only prepare everything beforehand and then carry it onto the vehicle later.

Even national grain coupons required queuing to exchange, and were also limited in quantity.

"Have you booked all the train tickets?" Hua Xiangyun remembered that these were entrusted to Hua Baoguo, and she should have told them all.

By the time your child graduates from elementary school, they'll be in their seventies, and their family might be urging them to get married.

“If he doesn’t find a suitable one while he’s at school, he should go back and find one.”

"..." Hua Xiangyun looked at her friend behind her and said, "To be honest, you're not even jealous anymore. It's one thing for outsiders to be mean to you, but you're so considerate after you get married. Ah, sister, he's still leaving you a way out."

If Hua Xiangyun hadn't come today, she was prepared to go and ask her about it.

But those people are infuriating you. We're actually backing down, saying you have a bad relationship with them and trying to cover for them.

Very few people would risk divorcing their partner just to take an exam. After all, all we hear about now is people abandoning their husbands and children, not their wives and children. Once those people get their divorce papers done, nobody in this remote place will know about our past.

Hua Xiangyun stopped at this moment, looking at you with a worried expression.

"I'm sorry, I've caused him trouble again." Jin Chunfeng blurted out, but regretted it immediately.

"We're all saying that Comrade Jiang Yi is really trying too hard to flatter us. If he had been angry beforehand and kicked us a couple of times, we would have insisted on taking credit for it."

When she said those words, Hua Xiangyun was also confident that Wu Yanxin could demonstrate a few moves. But when she actually faced him, she knew she could win.

A sense of foreboding rose in Wu Yanxin's heart. "...What did he say?"

As for leaving early today, Wu Yanxin bet we didn't have the guts, since Jiang Yi was home.

Wu Yanxin: "...You're leaving tomorrow, so I guess we won't have that opportunity."

You're not envious of him now, are you? Once you get married, at most other people will bring up that matter again to bother him.

You should have impulsively said those things. Hopefully, these people will restrain themselves. Regardless of who wins or loses, it will end badly in the end, since they are all neighbors.

Wu Yanxin looked you over and said, “What he said does make some sense. But if there really isn’t a suitable one, we should wait. As the saying goes, bad food is always a blessing in disguise.”

After looking around, Hua Xiangyun bought very few things. "Xiangyun, is he buying something?"

"That's really bad," Hua Xiangyun said with a hint of envy. "Your grandma said they're planning to take Grandpa Hua and us with them too?"

She only found out about it when others came over to chat with her grandmother early in the morning.

If that matter gets out, the standards for choosing a son-in-law will have to be lowered again. But we don't have anyone as outstanding as Wu Yanxin. Are we making things difficult for you?

If your heart were weak enough, compared to Wu Yanxin, that bad friend who was always weaker than everyone else, you wouldn't have become psychologically twisted by now.

Jin Chunfeng looked miserable. "Don't bring up that topic of getting back together. Those days when we visited relatives and friends for the New Year, everyone was talking about that."

She brought so much stuff; it's terrifying to think about her having to sit with everyone else while carrying so much stuff.

Hua Xiangyun was one of the people who knew about Wu Yanxin's lack of skills.

"But that's the principle, better to have nothing than something bad, you know?" Hua Xiangyun really doesn't have the idea of ​​finding a partner right now. A dark future awaits, so why are you even trying?

Before the news of the college entrance examination came out, the educated youth who rarely settled and married outside the village immediately changed their attitude.

Hua Xiangyun smiled guiltily, she really wasn't worried at all.

He spends all his time outside the house, and even outside the village, he only goes between two points: the fields and home. He rarely gets any news.

Upon hearing Jin Chunfeng mention Jin Chun, Hua Xiangyun looked mysterious. "I heard he also made a move against these people yesterday?"

You're really angry...

"By the way, those people broke into my house yesterday, are you alright? Yesterday, my grandpa and I went to wish my great-aunt a Happy New Year, and it was already very late when we got back, so we didn't go over there."

Wu Yanxin turned her head to look at you, indicating that she was also very curious and wanted to hear the gossip.

He's not worried about finding a bad partner, but rather about dealing with the constant pressure from his family to get married.

"But they've all dropped out of school, what will we do then, Grandpa Hua?"

"Thanks to Uncle Hua, everything has been booked, and they're even sleeper berths." Wu Yanxin was very grateful. She and Hua Xiangyun didn't get into the same university, and their start dates were different, so they had to travel separately.

"Your luck has always been like this, from childhood to adulthood. If you were lucky enough to bump into someone like that, you'd still be single."

Wu Yanxin glanced at you and said, "Do you remember when they talked about that issue later? Did he say that he was willing to find someone to marry?"

Jin Chunfeng said, "No wonder they dragged you out of the house just now when you were about to leave. They were afraid you'd go against us."

"You...you told us that if we go back to the main point, we should challenge him to a duel." Hua Xiangyun knew that she couldn't just go to his door directly, so she quickly confessed, "Aren't those guys outside our courtyards a bit intimidating-looking? He should be alright, right?"

Wu Yanxin: "Yes, our health is too bad. It's too worrying to leave the two of us alone at home, so we're going to bring us along."

"It's alright, Jiang Yi is back."

You've examined Hua Xiangyun's face, and it indicates she's not suited for early marriage. Although her marriage may not be tumultuous, the ending will be bad, and she'll likely lack good fortune.

Wu Yanxin wanted to mention the courtyard her master had given her, so she said, "Jin Chun went on a long trip after the New Year. I'll go there first and settle the house."

Hua Xiangyun laughed when she heard that. "He was wrong to kick it twice, but does he know what people outside your courtyard are saying?"

But you did manage to refute him, telling us that he had studied it and that those people were so weak, if they were his opponents...

"To be precise, I did kick them. These people are too resilient. You only kicked them twice," Wu Yanxin said modestly.

Wu Yanxin shook her head, "Those things aren't even outside the house, and your luggage hasn't even been taken away by someone yet."

Upon hearing those words, Hua Xiangyun shook her head violently, "How dare you!"

Everyone knows I joined the army. If I caught a few people and there was no way to explain it, I would probably drag them down. That's to make a mark on their records. I'm very calculating.
