Zhang Deping never expected that someone so insignificant could be exchanged for so much stuff, knowing that He Wan was wealthy and had no shortage of food.
They thought she was kindly helping them out, so they came to ask her about it in the middle of the night.
He Wan waved her hand at him: "Am I stupid? With so much money, I would want a broken pendant. It's just a coincidence. My uncle is my neighbor. He used to like collecting things. He was also a senior technician in a factory. He had a good living condition and took a liking to it at first sight."
That's fine too; starting a family always involves expenses.
Zhang Deping scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Marriage should be the man's responsibility, but now Xiaoxi is taking on all of this."
"Oh, you've all started calling her Xiaoxi now. You two seem to be getting along quite well."
"Now that I've married her, I should treat her well."
At this moment, He Wan felt that everything she had secretly done was worthwhile, very worthwhile.
"I hadn't thought of going to the city to ask Xue Zhenzhen about this, but I don't know her address. Could you write it down for me? I'm taking Xiaoxi to the city tomorrow to buy her some things and ask Comrade Xue."
“Okay.” He Wan went inside and wrote down an address for him, then asked him to bring some dried fruit to Xue Zhenzhen.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Deping took Duan Xiaoxi to the city.
Zhang Yao and the others also asked the brigade leader for leave. During the winter, he didn't want to take care of these educated youths who lived nearby.
If he wants to go home, he can go home; it'll save him some trouble.
So it was approved right away.
Zhang Yao and her two companions started packing their things after receiving the certificates and left that same day.
He Wan felt that they were fleeing, as if they were afraid of giving Zhang Zhiqing a wedding gift.
Wang Xiaorong squatted by the door for several lunch breaks, looking at the snow outside, and said, "They've all left, one by one."
He Wan smiled and said, "Didn't you go back to visit your families last year? I think the brigade leader is being more lenient now, so if you go back, it's not like there's no hope at all."
Li Zheng shook his head: "I'm not going back. Sigh, it's been years since I've been back. I feel like there's no place for me in my own home anymore. It's more comfortable to stay here."
Li Chunsheng didn't care; he now felt that being at the educated youth settlement was quite good.
Judging from their expressions, He Wan guessed they were planning to go hunting in the mountains again.
He Wan wasn't interested either; it was so cold outside, nothing beat the warmth of her own space.
Holding the flowers, she entered the space, and only came in after seeing that Sister Han wasn't there.
She discovered that the cotton-padded coat Lao Yun had made for her was finished, and there were several sets of test papers on the coffee table in the basement.
Upon picking it up, I discovered it was actually a college entrance exam question from their era.
It's obvious whose handiwork it is.
He sighed, sat down and looked at it for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a math problem.
I wrote until noon.
He took a piece of bread from his spatial storage and started eating it.
Although there are many delicious foods, you still have to control your intake, otherwise your weight will increase rapidly, which is not ideal.
After eating, I lay in the bedroom, scrolling through my phone, and eventually fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Upon exiting the space, they noticed some commotion outside and opened the door to investigate.
Zhang Deping has returned.
The two of them were happily cleaning Xue Zhenzhen's room.
"Did Zhang and Xue, the educated youth, agree?"
Zhang Deping laughed and said, "Yes, Xue Zhiqing is different now. He has lost a lot of weight. He said it was required by the teacher. He is now preparing to go to perform in another place. Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise I would have missed it."
She asked me to thank you and said she would come back to visit us when she has time.
Upon hearing that I was getting married, they didn't ask for rent or anything, and since they didn't have time to prepare a gift, they just stuffed five cents into my hand as a wedding gift.
"She's going out to perform."
"They said they were going to offer condolences, but they were probably going to the troops."
While Zhang Deping and He Wan were chatting, Duan Xiaoxi brought out a sponge cake from the house and gave it to He Wan: "Hey, this is for you. It's delicious."
He Wan shook her head and refused, saying, "No need, I have some in my room. You can keep it for yourself. Oh dear, I need to clean the room too, I'll be going now."
He quickly ran back to his room, leaving Duan Xiaoxi standing there, holding the chicken cake, stunned.
Zhang Deping said with a smile, "She's just reluctant to eat our food. She'll be fine once she gets used to it. You can eat it."
Duan Xiaoxi swallowed hard as she looked at the sponge cake in her hand, then shook her head: "I've already eaten one today, I'm saving it for you."
Zhang Deping laughed and said, "This was originally meant to help you recover. Eat up. Don't worry about the famine. Our educated youth settlement has plenty of food right now. After the party, I'll bring over the grain that's left in He's room. We'll keep it for ourselves, and we'll send the remaining grain coupons to the brigade leader."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
