Chapter 8 Food Protection
Shi Yanjin had been staring at Meng Ruoxi, but he sadly discovered that the other party only glanced at him at the beginning, and then didn't even bother to glance at him.
Disappointment came like a tide, and at the same time, I knew it in my heart.
There is no emotional foundation between the two of them, only the words of a matchmaker. It is normal for them to be cold towards each other. As they spend more time together, things will gradually get better.
Li Taohua reached out and held Meng Ruoxi's hand, speaking sincerely and honestly, "Child, I know that marrying Yan Jin has wronged you, but please believe that I will definitely love you as my own daughter and will not let you suffer any injustice."
She promised solemnly, her voice gentler than ever before.
Meng Ruoxi looked at her and could see the undisguised sincerity in her eyes.
She nodded, "Auntie, I believe you, and I will treat you like my own mother."
Li Taohua was delighted and held her hand even tighter, "Good girl."
Meng Ruoxi smiled gently, then lowered her head pretending to be shy.
Two hours passed, and Meng Ruoxi and Shi Yanjin hadn't been able to say a word to each other, nor had they been able to be alone together, and the Shi family left with Li Dahua.
I had to leave because there was no food at the educated youth camp and if I stayed I would just have to eat the food on the table.
The villagers didn't know that Meng Ruoxi was about to marry Shi Yanjin, and they were still discussing it in groups, saying that Meng Ruoxi didn't work, was a lazy woman, and would never get married in the future.
Sitting on a small stool, Meng Ruoxi counted the betrothal money and felt a rare sense of happiness in her heart.
Chen Xueying looked through other things.
There were some biscuits, a large piece of pork, and some white rice.
It seems that the Shi family knew that the educated youth had a hard life, so the things they sent were practical.
Meng Ruoxi took the time to look up, "Xueying, let's eat together."
Chen Xueying smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite then."
The two of them took the things back to their room, not planning to share them with the educated youth.
Just kidding, food these days is so precious, it’s impossible to share it.
No one can get any residue from them.
At noon, the educated youth came back. Meng Ruoxi and Chen Xueying went out and were surprised to find that only Wang Lili had not returned, so they asked the female educated youth who passed by them.
Chen Xueying asked, "Caixia, where's Lili? Why hasn't she come back?"
Wang Caixia rolled her eyes secretly, then returned to normal in an instant, saying in a light voice, "Oh, she is no longer dating someone. Liu Daqiang asked her to come home for dinner."
Hearing this, Meng Ruoxi and Chen Xueying looked at each other and then shut up.
Seeing that the two people didn't say anything and just walked straight past them, Wang Caixia snorted in her heart, what a bad character!
Seeing that the person had left, Meng Ruoxi said, "I guess Wang Lili will get pregnant soon."
Chen Xueying nodded. "You're right. I guess so."
The two looked at each other again, and they understood each other tacitly.
Two educated youths have married villagers one after another, which should be enough for the villagers to talk about after dinner.
Wang Lili's reputation in the village is much better than Meng Ruoxi's, and she is an image of hardworking and persevering person.
In everyone's eyes, Meng Ruoxi is just a pretty vase that is useless and can only be used as a decoration if married home.
If men were asked to choose, most would choose Meng Ruoxi.
If the ladies were asked to choose, they would definitely choose Wang Lili.
In the kitchen, Cai Chengjie hadn't finished cooking yet, so the two of them went back to their room.
Looking at the big piece of pork, the two of them decided to wait until the educated youth went to work and then come back to secretly cook and eat it.
They ate some biscuits and pastries to fill their stomachs, and only when they heard Cai Chengjie's voice outside did they wipe their mouths and go out.
What was rare was that Wang Lili had actually come back. She looked a little unnatural, with wandering eyes, and it was obvious that she was in a daze.
It can also be seen that there was nothing to eat at Liu Daqiang's house, otherwise he would not have sat by the dining table as soon as he came back.
