Chapter 1 Marriage

"Ruoxi, I've done what you asked me to do. Tomorrow morning the village head's family will come to the educated youth camp to propose marriage to you."

Li Dahua, the most famous matchmaker in the village, said excitedly.

Meng Ruoxi smiled faintly, "There is Auntie Lao."

Li Dahua waved her hands quickly, looking humble, "Of course, of course."

The village chief's family gave me a big red envelope with five yuan in it. I wish such good things could happen to me every day.

The two said a few more words and then separated.

Meng Ruoxi walked up the mountain holding a sickle and carrying a backpack.

I went to the countryside for a month, planted crops for more than ten days, and cut pigweed for more than half a month.

I've never worked before and I'm not used to this.

Unfortunately, her current identity is the daughter of Chou Laojiu. The original owner, that is, her current parents and brother, had a harder life than her and were sent to the mine for labor reform.

"Ruoxi, here."

Someone was calling him not far away. He looked up and saw who it was. Then he raised his head and answered, then walked towards her.

After a while, Meng Ruoxi and Chen Xueying met up.

Chen Xueying approached Meng Ruoxi's ear with a gossipy look on her face and whispered, "Ruoxi, let me tell you a secret. I saw Wang Lili, who went to the countryside two years earlier than us, dating the youngest son of an accountant. Do you think she wants to marry into an accountant's family?"

"Really?" Meng Ruoxi was surprised.

Wang Lili looks weak, but actually has great ambitions. Her long-cherished wish is to return to the city.

I never expected that I would give up hope of returning to the city so quickly and instead stay with the villagers.

Although the accountant's conditions in the village were good, Meng Ruoxi still found it incredible.

But then I changed my mind and thought that I had to compromise because of life, so I calmed down.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you!" Chen Xueying almost raised her hand to guarantee, "I saw it with my own eyes, it's absolutely true!"

Thinking that her situation was similar to Wang Lili's, Meng Ruoxi remained silent.

Just like persuading a brothel girl to become a good woman, Chen Xueying advised earnestly, "Ruoxi, you must not learn from Wang Lili. She can foresee the end of her life at a glance, but we are different. I believe that the country will change one day, and we will definitely be able to return to the city in the future."

Meng Ruoxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It turns out that there are smart people in every era.

It is now 1973, and there are still more than four years before the college entrance examination is resumed. As long as we can survive this period, we can return to the city.

But getting married is inevitable, and I don't want to suffer for four years and ruin my good health.

Not far away, a man and a woman hid behind a tree and watched Meng Ruoxi without blinking.

"Brother, is this Meng Zhiqing? She is so beautiful. You have a good taste."

The person who spoke was Shi Yanjin's sister Shi Changning, who was 20 years old and worked in the supply and marketing cooperative in the city.

In the morning, she saw the matchmaker Li Dahua coming to introduce a partner to her younger brother. After hearing what the other party said, she asked her eldest brother to ask for leave from work without thinking, and took her twin brother to the mountain, intending to see what her future brother and sister-in-law would look like.

Now I see that she is so beautiful that it dazzles my eyes.

No wonder her brother agreed impatiently before Li Dahua finished speaking, it turned out that her sister-in-law was so beautiful.

He just called her Meng Zhiqing, but now she is his younger sister-in-law, which shows that he is extremely satisfied with Meng Ruoxi.

Shi Yannan looked dazed, with a broken light flashing in his eyes. He said in disappointment, "You are right, Meng Zhiqing is indeed good-looking..."

When Shi Changning heard his second brother's tone, he immediately became alert and warned him directly without mercy, "Second brother, you can't bully your brother's wife!"

Shi Yannan suddenly came to his senses and rolled his eyes at his sister, "What are you talking about? Put away the filth in your head. I'm not as bad as you think."

"It's better this way." Shi Changning said meaningfully, his phoenix eyes that could see through people's hearts seemed to see through everything.

Shi Yannan frowned when he saw this, and said with a righteous look, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!"

Chang Ning sneered, looking at him, wondering who he was, but he didn't continue talking.

After all, it's just my guess. It would be too much to give a warning.

Meng Ruoxi, who was cutting grass for pigs, had no idea that someone was spying on her.

The beauty is like a flower in the clouds. Shi Changning and Shi Yannan continued to look at her and had no intention of leaving. They held their breath, their eyes wide open as they were stunned by the cold, jade-like, and otherworldly beauty of Meng Ruoxi.

The girl was dressed simply, but her face was as white as porcelain.

She has long thin eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a willow-like figure and long slender legs, and is a beauty as white as jade and as delicate as bones.

When people see her, they can't help but sigh that such a beauty can exist in the world.
