"Secretary Liu, the original plan was to return to the army in three months. Xinyue and I's wedding should be held in the army later. I originally wanted to treat the members of the brigade to a meal tomorrow."

"Now the plan has changed. I'm in a hurry to leave, so I can't postpone it. However, I'll leave 200 yuan with you for the meat. When I come back, we can set up the banquet."

Sheng Tunan took out 200 yuan and 300 yuan in coupons, but Secretary Liu refused to pay. "I trust your character. You don't need to pay first."

"No, you must accept it first. I would like you to inform everyone on the radio. It will be a good thing for everyone to have something to look forward to." Sheng Tunan insisted.

Secretary Liu was a little puzzled. Sheng Tunan was not a high-profile person. He did not treat anyone to a meal during the several times he established the university. After becoming the head of the group, he also donated money to repair Changhong Primary School, but he did not treat anyone to a meal.

Nowadays, it is natural to have a wedding banquet, but it is really unlike Sheng Tunan to advertise it widely.

Secretary Liu didn't understand, but Zhan Xinyue did, and looked at Sheng Tunan with gratitude.

Her eyes were extremely beautiful, big and bright. Now they were filled with mist, making them look more lively, as if they could speak.

Secretary Liu is indeed a secretary. Seeing this, he suddenly understood and said with a smile, "I know what you mean. You want us to take pity on you and remember your kindness. You won't be in the team for the next month or so. Please help take care of Comrade Dianzhan."

After all, no one knows that Zhan Xinyue has a husband, and she seems to be an orphan who has just learned about her life experience and has no one to rely on.

"Don't worry, except for a few people with bad ideological awareness, most of our team are good people. Some women are a bit talkative, but they are not bad at heart. I will broadcast it for you. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to eat meat, and listening to you will also be energetic when working."

Secretary Liu took the money and notes from Sheng Tunan with a smile, and did a quick calculation. Now pork is 68 cents a piece, 200 pieces can buy nearly 300 pieces of pork. There are more than 200 members in the Changhong Production Brigade. If divided among people, each person can eat more than a piece of meat. It is simply better than ever.

"Members of the Changhong Brigade, I have good news for you all."

Secretary Liu was worried that no one had heard him, so he repeated it three times in a row. When everyone heard the good news, they all stopped what they were doing and listened attentively.

"Captain Sheng and Comrade Zhan are getting married. I would like to express the best wishes of all members of the Changhong Brigade to the two of you. I hope you will share the joys and sorrows in the future and create a bright future with your hard-working hands."

"Captain Sheng has something to do in the army. He will return to the army today. He will be back in a month and will treat everyone to a feast. He has entrusted me to buy the meat and gave me 200 yuan and 300 meat tickets. Let's eat well when the time comes."

As soon as the broadcast was finished, the people working in the fields were excited, and the children jumped three feet high, clapping their hands and laughing: "There is meat to eat, there is meat to eat, Uncle Sheng, buy us some meat to eat."

The adults were more reserved, but they also smiled happily. In that era, pork was not only expensive, but also had meat coupons. When farmers were busy, they would slaughter the pigs raised by the brigade and share some of the meat. Who would be willing to buy it?

It's already May, the meat from the previous year has been eaten up, and everyone hasn't had meat for several months. Now it's free, and we can eat as much as we want at once. Who wouldn't be happy?

"Captain Sheng is such a good man! Zhan Xinyue is so lucky. She has escaped from the Zhan family's hell. She will have a good life in the future."

"I wish them to have sons soon and live happily ever after."

"That's right, Master Sheng, you are willing to give. Those who are willing to give will have great blessings in the future."

People already had a good impression of Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue, and now they are sending their sincere blessings to them.

Zhan Hongyan, who was driven out by Zhan Aiguo to go to work, was so jealous that she almost vomited blood.

In her previous life, when she married Sheng Tunan, not to mention 200 pieces of pork, not even a piece of wedding candy was given to everyone. Moreover, Sheng Tunan returned to the army after getting the marriage certificate, and everyone did not dare to make up a story about the officers. Whenever they saw her showing her beauty, they would say something sinister.

What are you talking about? Even if an old bachelor gets married, he will give an egg to the brigade members. How come you, the leader who is getting married, don't show any expression? Could it be that Captain Sheng doesn't like you?

Zhan Hongyan was getting angrier and angrier as she thought about outdoing Zhan Xinyue. Seeing Li Jian standing alone under a tree to enjoy the cool air, she pulled a smile on her face that she thought looked pretty, walked towards him, and said, "Brother Li, why don't we treat everyone to a meal as well?"

Li Jian looked at Zhan Hongyan as if she were a fool. "What conditions did Captain Sheng have? What conditions do I have? I heard that he gets tens of thousands of yuan in allowances a month, and also various tickets. He also gives me subsidies and bonuses on festivals. I am just a rural man who works hard in the fields, and I have two children and a sister to support. Where do I get the money?"

After Li Jian returned home, he always had a strong feeling of uneasiness, thinking that if he did not marry Zhan Xinyue it would be the biggest loss in his life.

Li Jian, who was already dissatisfied with Zhan Hongyan, continued, "You were originally going to marry Captain Sheng. Now, while we haven't even gotten the marriage certificate, it's not too late to regret. Otherwise, you should marry the captain and I'll marry Xinyue."
