"Jingyan, you're finally back! How did it go? Did you marry Xue Zhiqing?"
"Yes, it's settled. We're going to have a banquet in the village in the next couple of days, and we'd like to invite you to attend."
"I will go; I definitely want to attend your wedding."
Luo Jingyan took out a handful of wedding candies from her pocket and handed them to her. When Sun Tiantian and Ning Peipei saw Luo Jingyan return, they also came out of the house. Luo Jingyan told them about her wedding and that she would be holding a wedding banquet here, inviting them to attend and giving them wedding candies.
As for the male educated youth, she only told Tong Jianxin and Sun Guoqing, and didn't tell the others.
Since Li Hongying's death, Zhao Wensong has been all alone again. He did not return to the educated youth settlement and continued to live in the house at the foot of the mountain.
After Luo Jingyan returned, the village became noticeably more lively than before, with everyone discussing Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen's marriage. Zhao Wensong naturally overheard some of it as well.
Before they went to the countryside, they were engaged. In less than two years, their circumstances became worlds apart.
He probably isn't even good enough to be worthy of one of Luo Jingyan's fingernails now.
In the evening, under the dim sunset, he stood at his door and sighed at Luo Jingyan's house, "Life is unpredictable," before going back inside to cook corn porridge.
The next day, Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen went to the county town to "procure" the meat, vegetables, cigarettes, and alcohol needed for their wedding banquet. They also went to the Qin family to invite them to their wedding feast.
Qin Zhenzhen excitedly hugged Luo Jingyan: "Sister-in-law, this is wonderful! Zhao Jun and I have also gotten our marriage certificate. We'll go with him to his home base, and then we'll have each other's company."
Yu Province Military Region
After Xue Ningnan and Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan broke up again, they were angry for two whole days.
She was probably regretting the stupid thing she did back then. If she had known this would happen, she would never have interfered in that young couple's affairs, even if you killed her.
Whenever she thought about all the sacrifices she made in the countryside and the current success of Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen, she felt incredibly regretful.
Not only did they spend money and effort but they also gained nothing, and instead missed out on two lucrative opportunities.
Two days ago, after arguing with Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan, Luo Jingyan exposed the things she did in the countryside, and the military wives all condemned her.
The military wives who used to chat with her now ignore her, and she can't even find anyone to accompany her when she wants to go out for a walk.
She had a headache from lying in bed and decided to go out for some fresh air.
Since no one accompanied her, she went by herself.
She happened to be out of rice and vegetables at home, so she went out to buy some.
A few days ago, she and her neighbor, a military wife, went to a small market nearby. The vegetables there were all grown on the farmers' private plots, and you only needed money, not coupons. There were also other things at the market, making it more interesting than the supply and marketing cooperative.
Going out for a stroll and having some fun is better than staying cooped up in the house all the time.
When she arrived at the market, she first bought some rice and flour, and then went to buy some vegetables.
She carried rice and flour to the vegetable stall and saw the bright green and very fresh bok choy. She wanted to buy two bunches to cook with.
Suddenly, they heard a little girl cough softly beside them. The little girl's mother, who was also the owner of the stall, quickly patted the little girl's back to comfort her: "Beibei, are you alright?"
Sheng Yuwan was so focused on taking care of her daughter that she hadn't yet noticed Xue Ningnan, who had come to buy groceries.
However, Xue Ningnan noticed the mother and daughter. Xue Ningnan first looked at Beibei. The little girl was very thin, but she had a beautiful face. The little girl already showed the appearance of a beauty.
Then, her gaze involuntarily fell on Sheng Yuwan's face. Although the woman did not look up, she still felt that the face was familiar. Suddenly, she seemed to see Xue Ningyu.
Impossible. Xue Ningyu is far away in Beijing; she couldn't possibly be selling vegetables here.
Xue Ningyu's daughter, Yuanyuan, is already six years old. She couldn't possibly be that young, nor could she be that frail and sickly.
She thought she was seeing things, but when she looked again, the woman opposite her still had the same face.
Xue Ningyu and her mother look very alike, and Xue Yanchen also has similarities to them.
This made her subconsciously think of herself; she had noticed since childhood that her appearance was different from that of the Xue family.
However, she felt that there were many people like her who did not look like their parents or siblings, and she never thought that she was not the biological daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Xue.
However, after seeing the woman in front of her, she actually felt that this woman was more suitable to be the daughter of the Xue family.
What exactly happened?
When Sheng Yuwan noticed her and looked up at her, she instinctively covered her face. She didn't realize that this was a sign of her guilt.
Sheng Yuwan had already calmed her daughter down, so she asked her, "Would you like some vegetables?"
Xue Ningnan was still in a daze when she heard Sheng Yuwan call her name. She suddenly came to her senses, but did not remove her hands from her face for the time being.
Her gaze drifted to Sheng Yuwan's face. When the other woman had her head down earlier, she had already noticed that she looked a lot like a member of the Xue family. Now that the other woman was facing her directly, her features and appearance were completely visible to her, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.
They look so alike!
