Their families disliked them and married them off far away, never to return.
This incident had a huge impact here. From top to bottom, everyone unanimously decided to severely punish Lu Xiaoyun and Xia Minglei, and surprisingly, no one objected.
So, the final outcome for Lu Xiaoyun and Xia Minglei was quickly revealed. Both of them had made too many mistakes, so they deserved the same result as Nie Xiulan.
When the results came back, the village was in an uproar.
Captain Qian was furious and immediately decided to hold a village meeting to tell everyone that anyone who dared to cause trouble again would be expelled from the Fengshou Brigade and forced to leave.
If a sent-down youth makes a mistake, no matter how small, they are sent back directly to the sent-down youth office so that the office can send them to a more difficult place.
Captain Qian said only a few words before storming off the meeting. He never expected that the two people who made the mistake were both from his team, and that they made such a big mistake. Even with Wen Xi, the great hero, taking the lead, he still couldn't escape being scolded mercilessly.
Forget about any good benefits in the future, and forget about any spots at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Good things like that will never come to the Harvest Brigade again.
If Fengshou Primary School hadn't been awarded to Fengshou Brigade because of Wenxi's contributions, the higher-ups would have shut it down. Luckily, the documents for planting watermelons were obtained early on, otherwise, watermelons wouldn't have been planted next year.
Everyone knew that Lu Xiaoyun and Xia Minglei's actions had had a terrible impact on the team. When the meeting ended, everyone was in a very low mood, and no one was in the mood to talk. They had thought that things were getting better and better, but now these two people had ruined everything.
Lin Yiwan did not go home immediately, but waited for Wen Xi. When Wen Xi arrived, the two looked at each other, both feeling excited and thrilled at having avenged their great grudge.
Lu Xiaoyun truly did not disappoint them, dragging Xia Minglei down with him even in death. However, Xia Minglei had committed too many sins, and his death was not unjust; one could say he deserved it.
Xia Minglei probably never imagined that when he was doing bad things, he dragged Lu Xiaoyun down with him to take him with him, but when Lu Xiaoyun died, he was dragged down with him too.
It is true that good and evil will be rewarded in due time; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
Because of Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun's situation, everyone has temporarily calmed down, and even Zuo Qiuyi has temporarily given up inquiring about Wen Xi.
Yang Li hadn't expected Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun to be so bold, nor had she expected them to be so frivolous at such a young age. Fortunately, she had no connection with them.
She decided to keep Gu Ningzhi in check for the time being. Whenever Gu Ningzhi brought up marriage, she would just say that her family did not agree to her getting married in another city.
Once a woman gets married, she faces a lot of pressure and troubles, while the man is gradually attracted to other women and no longer loves his wife.
That's why she doesn't want to be an unloved daughter-in-law; she wants to always be a pampered little fairy.
"Let's get married!" Xu Mengying had just returned to Gu Huai'an's place when she heard Gu Huai'an's words. She looked at Gu Huai'an in disbelief, "Brother Huai'an, what did you say?"
"I said let's get married!" Gu Huai'an repeated his words without any emotion.
The incident involving Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun served as a wake-up call for him. During this period, he and Xu Mengying had been taking a nap together every noon. If Li Jianguo and Lu Mingxiu said anything, he and Xu Mengying would not have a good outcome.
Only marriage can solve this problem.
"Brother Huai'an..." Xu Mengying's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. She then threw herself into Gu Huai'an's arms and choked out, "Brother Huai'an, I've finally heard you say that! Don't worry, I'll definitely be a good wife from now on, obediently listen to you, and take good care of you..."
"We'll go find Captain Qian now to get a letter of introduction, then get the marriage registration done. We'll invite everyone over for dinner tomorrow," Gu Huai'an said.
Xu Mengying looked up at Gu Huai'an from his arms and said, "Brother Huai'an, I will do whatever you say."
Afterwards, the two went to Captain Qian to get a marriage introduction letter. Although Captain Qian was still angry, he did not stop them. After all, marriage is a good thing, and once married, they should not be as promiscuous as Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun.
After Gu Huai'an and Xu Mengying returned from registering their marriage, the two of them distributed wedding candy to their neighbors and acquaintances, informing everyone of their marriage. This way, no one could say anything when they were seen together as a couple.
Gu Huai'an decided to hold a banquet with four tables: one for village officials, one for villagers who had some dealings with him, and two for educated youth. He would borrow the village's large canteen to hold the banquet, as it would be more convenient to do so there.
When she invited Wenxi and the other two to a banquet the next day, she also asked them to help cook the food. Wenxi asked him to prepare the ingredients in the morning, and then she took Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to cook.
With something to do, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue don't need to go to work.
Although Gu Huai'an didn't have that many tickets, he still had money. To make the banquet look better, he went to the villagers' homes to exchange for eggs and old hens, and even went to the canteen to get a bamboo basket to catch fish and snails in the river bend.
Then, the next morning, he set off early again to go to town and bought pork offal, pork bones, and pig trotters that didn't require ration coupons. He didn't have any meat coupons, so these were the only things he could buy.
Wen Xi, along with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, went to the dining hall early to prepare for the banquet. Whatever ingredients Gu Huai'an prepared, Wen Xi would cook the dishes.
The pig offal that Gu Huai'an bought was unwashed and smelled terrible. Wen Xi took the pig offal to the river bend to wash it. First, she washed away all the dirt on the pig offal, and then she secretly put it in the machine to remove the smell. Then she took it out, carried it back to the canteen, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and then put it in a pot to braise.
Winter melon and pork rib soup, braised pig's trotters, mushroom stewed chicken, braised fish, spicy snails, and two stir-fried vegetable dishes, totaling eight dishes, which is quite good.
This is only because Gu Huai'an is rich. For poor families, one meat dish per table is considered good, and there aren't even that many slices of meat!
In the morning, Gu Huai'an, Li Jianguo, and Lu Mingxiu went to the educated youth settlement to pick up Xu Mengying. Li Jianguo and Lu Mingxiu helped carry her luggage and took Xu Mengying to Gu Huai'an's house. Afterwards, everyone went to the canteen together.
Although the wedding was rushed, Gu Huai'an and Xu Mengying took it very seriously. Both of them wore new clothes. However, red fabric was relatively rare these days, and since they decided to get married at the last minute, they couldn't find red clothes in a hurry, so they bought other new clothes that they could wear on other occasions.
