Qin Suyun and her group drove back, but the road was not as peaceful as when they came. Before they even left the Yunhai City highway intersection, a group of people came up to rob them. Those people put a lot of thumbtacks and other obstacles on the driveway, and fifty or sixty people were guarding there. It seemed that the other party had prepared to deal with them early in the morning!
It's just that those people thought of using barriers and thumbtacks to block their cars, and using human wave tactics to deal with other people and dogs.
It's a pity that these people never expected that most of them were carrying guns. They stopped when they saw that those people were still 20 or 30 meters away and pointed their guns at them.
The group of robbers immediately huddled together and followed He Zhennan's instructions to clear the highway intersection and let the people leave.
Many people are really regretting it!
They originally thought that apart from the army and the police, they would not be afraid of anyone else, even if they had two guns in their hands.
After all... China is not like other countries. It is a country with gun control. Ordinary people are not allowed to carry guns. Therefore, even if ordinary people have guns, they will not use them at all!
Unless you point a gun directly at their heads, wouldn't it be a joke to hit them from such a long distance?
But the group of people across from me...
More than a dozen black gun muzzles appeared at once. Who would dare to act rashly now?
Even if so many guns are fired randomly, they can still hit several brothers!
After encountering this group of robbers, Qin Suyun and her group did not encounter any other robbers on their way back. They returned to Wanxi Village safely. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the village.
The originally quiet village suddenly became lively because of the return of a group of people!
All the supplies obtained in exchange and those that were left unused were brought back and handed over to the village chief for distribution.
Qin Suyun and He Zhennan had not left yet when Zhao Dabao called out to them.
Zhao Dabao blushed and said rather embarrassedly, "Miss Qin, Brother He, I'd like to invite you to my house for dinner in a couple of days."
"What's wrong? Is there any good news?" Qin Suyun looked at Zhao Dabao with a smile. On her way back, she saw Zhao Dabao bought wedding candy.
"I'm getting married... Tiantian and I will be getting married in two days. Although we can't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage certificate now, Tiantian and I have discussed and decided to set up two tables and invite some familiar people to our house for a meal... Miss Qin, you are Tiantian's savior, you must come this time!" Zhao Dabao was a little shy when he spoke at first, but after speaking for a while, Zhao Dabao became more fluent.
"You and Sun Tiantian are together? When did this happen? How come we haven't heard of it before?" Qin Suyun was stunned, then quickly congratulated: "You are getting married so soon, congratulations. You two should be the first couple in the village to get married after the natural disaster."
In Wanxi Village, some widows whose husbands had died could not live alone, so a few of them followed other men. However, in the village, the only two people who actually planned to hold a banquet and have a dinner were Zhao Dabao and Sun Tiantian.
"Hehe, Tiantian used to be a college student, a city girl... She suffered a lot when she married me, and I have to take good care of her in the future. Miss Qin and Brother He should come over around 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and we'll have dinner together!" The sun was too strong during the day, and it was hot at home, so it was not suitable for holding a banquet. It was a little better at night. We could light a few torches and everyone could have a happy meal.
"Okay, we will definitely show our support then!" Qin Suyun nodded in response.
Qin Suyun and He Zhennan were walking on the way home. Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, He Zhennan took Qin Suyun's hand. Even though the temperature of the surrounding air was relatively high, causing their palms to sweat, He Zhennan was reluctant to let go.
Qin Suyun rolled her eyes at He Zhennan, but didn't let go.
Normally, it only takes about ten minutes to walk from the village chief to his home, but it took the two of them nearly 30 minutes. Qin Suyun felt her palms sticky and wanted to let go of the other person, but she didn't expect that the next second, in the dark night, she felt something being put on her ring finger, and He Zhennan also half-knelt in front of Qin Suyun.
Qin Suyun was stunned at first, but the next second her heart started beating rapidly and an idea was born in her mind.
Next second.
He Zhennan's low and slightly uneasy voice and the man's eyes that seemed particularly bright in the moonlight rang in her ears.
"Suyun, will you marry me? Let's get married!"
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only the breathing of the two people and the occasional croaking of frogs and chirping of insects.
"Okay!" Qin Suyun curved her eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
The scorching temperature poured into He Zhennan's heart, burning him so much that he shivered and stood up. He no longer cared that they had not returned home yet, and kissed her directly!
His left hand clasped the back of her head, while his right hand tightly embraced the woman's slender and soft waist.
The two kissed passionately.
It seems that even the hot air at night has a hint of sweetness!
During natural disasters, weddings were naturally kept simple. After enjoying Zhao Dabao and Sun Tiantian's banquet, Qin Suyun also learned what other people's banquets were like. Her family was much better off than others, but in order to avoid resentment, Qin Suyun didn't dare use the best ingredients at home, and naturally didn't dare to use the fish and crayfish raised at home.
Now everyone’s home is short of water due to the high temperature and the heat is unbearable. Yet you still raise fish and shrimps at home. Isn’t that just attracting hatred?
It was a coincidence that the previous flood had caused great trouble to the family, causing the walls of the entire Qin family's house to change from white walls to cement walls. Many places even became white and yellow after being soaked in the flood, and some places even had mold spots, which looked particularly shabby.
If this house was built before the natural disaster, people would probably frown when they saw it.
However, the arrival of these floods provided more living space for the fish and crayfish that were originally fed in the folding fish pond in the room and that could not be brought to the mountains!
Several folding fish ponds were turned into two large rooms. Coupled with the various substances brought by the flood, such as algae, mud, and microorganisms, the crayfish and fish raised at home not only grew fatter and fatter, but their numbers also increased significantly!
Especially the crayfish. When I bought them a year ago, they were only five pounds. After a meal, only about half of them were left. With just over two pounds of crayfish, they have grown to the point where even a large folding fish pond cannot hold them all.
During this period, Qin Suyun and He Zhennan both ate crayfish with ice drinks many times. In this hot season, no one would believe such a luxurious combination if they told others about it!
In fact, in the entire Wanxi Village, and even in several surrounding townships, except for Qin Suyun's family who still have the ability to use water to raise fish and shrimps, everyone else is so hot that they can hardly even have water to drink. They can only hope that God will send some rain soon to let the world come alive again!
There was no other choice but to take out the fish and shrimp to directly entertain other guests. Qin Suyun and He Zhennan decided to hold two wedding banquets, one to invite the familiar people in the village and Pang Xiong and his friends, and the other to invite Pang Xiong and his friends to their home for dinner alone.
He Zhennan's brothers naturally invited him to a meal a day in advance, so that they could get together as a group.
As for the villagers who were invited later, two more tables were needed, so the wedding of the two was scheduled for the day before Chinese New Year, which was around mid-February.
The meal that He Zhennan and his brothers had gathered in advance was naturally treated according to the best standards at home. Moreover, when they came back, it was Pang Xiong and others who helped catch fish in the house, so there was naturally no need to hide it.
The air conditioner was on in the room, everyone was drinking and eating, and they were in high spirits. It was no different from the Chinese New Year.
Pang Xiong was drinking ice beer while eating spicy crayfish, his face full of sighs and intoxication, "Hey, Boss, you're really living a comfortable life now! How about you and our sister-in-law get married a couple more times? I'd like to take advantage of you and eat two more meals of yours! I don't want any other dishes, just some spicy crayfish and beer, it's good enough!"
"Go away! Don't make my sister-in-law laugh at you here. Today is a good day for our boss and sister-in-law. I will stay here and wish my boss and sister-in-law a happy marriage and a big fat boy soon!" Dongzi patted Pang Xiong and said with a smile.
The four He Zhennan brothers were talking, while Lu Liqing grabbed Qin Suyun and asked her all sorts of questions, congratulating them both.
Qin Suyun agreed to all of them with a smile.
The attitude of the three members of the Qiu family during this meal was much more harmonious than the last time, but Qiu Jiayue looked obviously quieter. Perhaps it was because the difficult life underground these days made her very uncomfortable.
After Qin Suyun and He Zhennan saw them off, Qiu Jiayue followed Cui Wen at the end of the group. She looked back in the direction of the Qin family and tugged at the corner of Cui Wen's clothes.
"Let's get married too..." Qiu Jiayue said softly, "After we get married, let's live a good life and live a prosperous life like them, okay?"
"Okay!" Cui Wen nodded and held Qiu Jiayue's hand.
"Dongzi and I have already discussed this. A few days after the eldest brother gets married, we plan to go to Yunhai City again and get some air conditioning solar panels and other things from there. This will make our daytime comfortable and you won't have to stay underground for so long. If the solar panels can't provide enough electricity, we can also install a few light bulbs on the ground so we don't have to be in the dark all day."
"Well... I'll wait for you."
This time, Qiu Jiayue didn't say anything about Qin Suyun having some at home and asking Cui Wen and the others to borrow some first. She just nodded obediently.
The group returned home under the moonlight.
Qiu Jiayue slept very soundly that night.
Early the next morning, Pang Xiong and others went to Qin's house to help Qin Suyun and He Zhennan prepare food for the afternoon's wedding. Although they only planned to invite four tables, it would take more than two hours to prepare the food for these four tables. In addition, Qin Suyun and He Zhennan were a newlywed couple, so they couldn't be asked to cook for their wedding today?
Therefore, when He Zhennan was having dinner last night, he talked about this matter with Pang Xiong and others and asked them to come and help early in the morning.
They helped to kill a small fragrant pig, two chickens and two ducks. In addition, Dahei and his friends caught two rabbits in the mountains last night, as well as the eggs, bacon, sausages, etc. that were already stored at home, and prepared four tables of delicious dishes. Except for the fresh seafood fish and crayfish, and the vegetables and fruits grown in the glass house on the third floor, everything else was displayed by the Qin family.
Although this meal was not very good before the natural disaster, it still surprised people like Zhao Xingguo and Tang Miaomiao as everyone was short of food and clothing after the disaster.
What’s more, the banquet is set up in the living room, so everyone can eat while enjoying the air conditioning.
This banquet was really enjoyable!
Tsk tsk tsk!
I knew that the eldest sister of the Qin family had lived alone behind closed doors before, so her life must have been pretty good, but I didn’t expect it to be so good. It’s really enviable!
Compared with the meal that Zhao Dabao and Sun Tiantian had a few days ago where they only killed a chicken and took some bacon, this one was much better. However, Zhao Xingguo and others knew that if the other party could afford to raise so many dogs, then there would definitely be no shortage of food. Besides, these dogs were very capable and could catch some pheasants and rabbits for the family from time to time. How could their life be bad?
"Miaomiao, you should eat more today. Your belly looks like it's at least six or seven months pregnant."
Everyone was an acquaintance. After receiving everyone's blessings, Qin Suyun and her friend looked at Tang Miaomiao with a smile. As Qin Suyun's first good friend in the village, Tang Miaomiao had always maintained a good relationship with her. This time when Qin Suyun got married, she naturally needed to invite her.
"Yes...Miaomiao is already more than seven months pregnant!" Aunt Zhao was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Although life at home was not easy, as an elder, she still hoped that her daughter-in-law would give birth to a child.
"After you two get married, you have to work hard and make every effort!" Aunt Zhao said, looking at Qin Suyun and He Zhennan jokingly.
This made Qin Suyun blush.
Everyone was eating together happily, but Dahei, who was lying in the room, suddenly stood up from the ground and looked straight out the glass window.
"Tap! —"
'Tap! —Tap! —'
It suddenly started to rain above the scorching sun... Drops of rain as big as beans hit the glass windows, making crisp sounds.
Everyone who was originally enjoying their meal suddenly seemed to be frozen in place. Some people didn't even notice that their chopsticks had fallen...
"It's raining..."
“It’s raining…it’s really raining…!”
Zhao Xingguo widened his eyes excitedly, and even stopped drinking. He quickly walked forward to open the door and go out. The other people in the room, including Qin Suyun and He Zhennan, also followed them out.
The rolling heat waves mixed with a hint of moisture from the rain spread in the air. Many people's faces flushed with excitement, and some were so excited that their eyes turned red.
The raindrops hit everyone's faces, and the coolness penetrated into everyone's hearts.
"It's raining! It's finally raining! This damn dry season is finally coming to an end!!!——"
