He deliberately brought up the quarrel with Mrs. Ge, thinking that he could embarrass Shen Xiaobei.
Unexpectedly, she was able to get rid of it in a decent way, but Wei Feng'e was not willing to accept it.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, she smiled and asked her, "Xiaobei, Xichuan only came back for the Mid-Autumn Festival and hasn't been back since then. You two haven't seen each other again. How did the two of you become friends?"
"Jiachang's wife, you're asking so many questions, are you even going to let your granddaughter-in-law eat?"
Although Mr. Duan was old, he was very clear-headed. He knew that Duan Jiachang's wife was deliberately looking for trouble. Without waiting for Shen Xiaobei and others to respond, he spoke with a serious face.
Seeing that his wife had upset the old man, Duan Jiachang immediately scolded Wei Feng'e in a low voice, "Hurry up and eat your food! Even a feast can't stop your mouth!"
Wei Feng'e was scolded in public by her father-in-law and husband. She looked a little embarrassed and finally stopped talking in anger.
"Xiaobei, these fish balls are delicious, eat more!"
Wang Zhaodi glared at Wei Feng'e unhappily, then affectionately scooped a spoonful of fish balls into Shen Xiaobei's bowl and told her to eat more.
After that, the banquet finally calmed down and no one deliberately brought up topics that would ruin the atmosphere.
At the warm invitation of the Duan family, Shen Xiaobei stayed at the Duan family that night, and slept alone in Duan Xichuan's room at night.
Before going to bed, after closing the door, Shen Xiaobei carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, imagining Duan Xichuan sitting at the desk, standing in front of the washstand, and lying on the bed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
She finally began to truly enter his life and his family.
This made her feel like a plane landing, steady and solid, making her feel at ease.
There was also a large wooden box in the room, which was not locked.
Shen Xiaobei opened it with some curiosity and found that it was full of clothes. Judging from the size and the state of the clothes, they might have been worn by Duan Xichuan a few years ago.
Maybe it was because there was a lot of rain in the spring, so the clothes were kept in the wooden box and were rarely taken out to dry. Although there were two camphors in the wooden box, there was still a faint musty smell.
Shen Xiaobei then took out two jasmine-scented sachets with a strong fragrance, which were packed in exquisite cloth bags, from the space and placed them on the left and right sides of the wooden box.
Before traveling through time, she didn't specifically stock up on sachets.
However, there were sachets everywhere in the house where she lived, including the wardrobe, shoe cabinet, and bookcase. Fortunately, she had the foresight to put some of her favorite small items into the space in the last one or two days before she traveled through time.
After putting the sachet away, she lay down on the bed and slowly fell asleep with thoughts of Duan Xichuan.
When she left the Duan family the next day, the elders of the Duan family told her to come over for dinner and stay at least once a week.
Shen Xiaobei felt that coming here every week was too frequent.
Finally, I promised them that I would visit them at least once a month, and would also come to reunite with them during important festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
Only then did the Duan family decide to let her return to the Baiju Brigade.
Ten days later, May Day arrived, and that was the day Fan Huifang and Ye Zhicheng got married.
Shen Xiaobei and Ke Xiaoli served as her bridesmaids. Around ten o'clock in the morning, they were happily taken to Ye Zhicheng's parents' home for a banquet by the Ye family's wedding procession.
That morning, Tang Weiwei, who lived in the county town, got up early.
Then she rushed to the dance troupe to ask for leave from the troupe leader, saying that she had important things to do today and had to ask for leave and could not go with the troupe to the performance.
When the leader heard what she said, he was so angry that he criticized her harshly.
She was scolded for having no team spirit. Since she couldn't go to the performance with the group today, why didn't she say it earlier, but only said it on the last day of the performance.
It was too late to replace her with another performer now.
Scolding Tang Weiwei for doing this is purely causing trouble for the group!
As punishment, she was ordered to write a self-criticism of no less than 3,000 words and hand it in tomorrow.
Despite the risk of being severely criticized by her superiors and having to write a self-criticism of no less than 3,000 words, Tang Weiwei still took the leave and then angrily ate breakfast on the street.
After all, if you don’t eat enough, how will you have the energy to deal with Shen Xiaobei later?
After breakfast, she rushed back, put on some delicate makeup, painted a fiery red lipstick, and then rummaged through her wardrobe.
She changed her rose-red dress into a bright red dress.
She looked at herself in the mirror, front and back, left and right, and made sure that her clothes were flawless. After she was very satisfied with herself, she hailed a tricycle on the street and headed straight for the second production team of Heishui Brigade.
When we arrived at Duan Xichuan's house, it was almost eleven o'clock, but his family didn't look like they were going to have a wedding.
There was no one in the yard and the gate was ajar.
Tang Weiwei felt a little puzzled. After paying the tricycle driver, she walked in alone.
Seeing smoke rising from the roof of the kitchen in the yard, she hurried over to take a look, only to see Wang Zhaodi alone adding firewood to the stove.
"Godmother!"
"Weiwei? Why are you here?"
"Didn't you and Sister Hongmian tell me last time that Brother Xichuan was getting engaged today? Of course I had to come over to see him! Godmother, where's Brother Xichuan? Did he go to Baiju Brigade to pick up that woman selling cold dishes?"
"Weiwei, your brother Xichuan, he, he's still in the army and hasn't come back yet."
"He didn't come back? Then is his engagement to that cold dish woman true or false?"
"Weiwei, you're late. They got engaged many days ago!"
