A short while later, Chen Shuang came over with the sewn wedding dress and handed one to Chen Yifei; it was a proper suit style.
"Yifei, the drawing you gave me is going to be difficult to make. The one I made for Runqing is also beautiful. She'll look absolutely stunning in it."
Chen Yifei nodded: "Sister, it's all thanks to you. Anyway, you're so skillful, you could open a shop in the future. Once I make money, our family will open one."
"Where's my brother-in-law? Why isn't he coming over?"
Chen Yifei frowned, wondering if he should start beating his wife now.
Chen Shuang felt a little awkward: "He...he drank too much and has been throwing up every night for the past few days. I'm not letting him come over; he'll embarrass you."
"Anyway, as long as I'm here, that's fine."
"Alright then, if he treats you badly, don't go back. There will always be a room for you in the house."
"I know." Chen Shuang felt a warm glow in her heart.
"I'm going to deliver clothes to my future wife." With that, Chen Yifei tried to run towards the educated youth settlement.
But Chen Shuang stopped her: "Why are you running away!"
Chen Xue wouldn't let him go either: "You rascal, it's almost the day before the wedding, and you're not going? It's best to meet tomorrow. You keep thinking about meeting, isn't it better to meet him after you've married him?"
"That's right, we'll see it tomorrow."
"Let my sister deliver it."
This is also a local custom; people don't meet the day before the wedding, otherwise it's considered unlucky.
That works too!
Although Chen Yifei didn't believe in these things, he would try to believe anything about He Runqing to some extent.
Because it's her, I don't want any mistakes to happen.
Chen Yifei was also busy; everyone who came to him asked him to do something.
After my sister took care of this matter, she first rode her bicycle to see the land she had bought. This land is going to be a hot commodity in the future!
The thought of finding cyanide ore below filled me with joy.
Now we just need to wait for future development.
This land belongs to him. Whenever someone wants to use it for scientific research, he will naturally be paid.
Chen Yifei remained calm, watching the piglets running around on the ground and scrambling for grass.
Just then, Zhao Shi arrived: "Brother Yifei!"
"Brother Zhao Shi," Chen Yifei greeted him.
He was followed by three or four mule carts, which pulled him in like that.
"It wasn't supposed to be this fast. I had already transported these over, but I thought you needed them urgently, so I gave them to you first. These are pigs fed with feed that grow well; they're the kind we raise and sell. This stuff helps them grow taller!"
"I know," Chen Yifei nodded.
After settling the debt with Zhao Shi, the feed wasn't expensive. The main issue was that no one knew about this place; they only did it in Shenzhen.
25 cents a pound of high-gluten flour, and this feed is only 10 cents a pound. Chen Yifei bought a lot, taking 100 pounds at once.
Zhao Shi was overjoyed after receiving the money: "Brother Yifei, you'd better grow up well, you little piglet."
"By then, my feed will have a good reputation."
Zhao Shi returned twenty yuan to him, saying, "We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together."
"By the way, who got you out?" Chen Yifei asked curiously. Zhao Shi was crying and wailing about not being able to get out that day, but he got out today, didn't he?
Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow: "We have connections in our family."
"I came out to earn money, so I didn't rely on myself, but relied a little on my family."
Well, whether you can make a lot of money still depends on connections.
In this era, even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place at the right time, but there are also many people who fall from grace.
Many people without connections have taken off, but most of the people at the forefront are those who have family support.
Zhao Shi patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, now that you've delivered this, I'm leaving too."
"I'm married. Get ready for dinner."
"That's great. We can have a good meal then."
Zhao Shi made no attempt to be polite and stayed at Chen Yifei's house. Guests started arriving one after another that evening.
I had originally planned to sneak over and take a look at He Runqing, but I simply don't have the time right now.
Weddings are busy, and He Runqing started getting her hair done early in the morning. Several former educated youths used all their hair-styling skills on her.
Since none of them are married yet, many people came to help.
Looking at the educated youth settlement filled with all these things, including the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese stringent measure), and even the tape recorder, it was clear that they were all in use.
The songs inside were played by several female educated youths:
"A great river flows wide and deep."
"The fragrance of rice blossoms wafts through the air on both banks of the river."
The song was being sung inside, and as the song progressed, a few people started dancing along.
Everywhere was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Wow, that's great! Our educated youth He is so amazing, he even has all these things."
"And that watch on her wrist, tsk tsk, it must have cost a lot of money. I heard that when He Zhiqing first came to the countryside, she had a watch, leather shoes, and some old-fashioned cheongsams."
"Back then, I almost got labeled a capitalist roader!"
When she said this, everyone around her laughed. But He Runqing didn't find it funny at all.
She really didn't understand that. She didn't understand why people had to wear such simple styles when going to the countryside. Wouldn't it be better to wear what you like? Life is your own.
But now, after being a sent-down youth for so long, she has come to understand. She was too naive back then, and the people in Yongquan Brigade were all very kind.
Otherwise, she might have been criticized. At the time, she was only warned by the brigade leader and told not to wear clothes that weren't appropriate for working people. It turns out she had already received help from Chen Yifei's family back then…
She was deeply moved. Just as Xiaomei had said, Chen Yifei's family were all kind people, and she was sure she could make a good life for them if she went there.
