Xie Yan scratched his head and lowered his voice, "Do you have any way to get a watch voucher? Everything for my wedding was handled by the bride's family, so I was hoping that if I could get a watch voucher, it would make things look better!"
Gu Bin shook his head dismissively, "You're such a gigolo, and you still know how to save face!"
Xie Yan pretended to be angry and said, "What! Can't I have the dignity to be a kept man?"
Gu Bin gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Amazing! Your eyelids are incredibly thick! I'll write to my parents about this. They should have the vouchers for the watch. If they do, will they buy it for you directly or give you the vouchers so you can buy it yourself?"
Xie Yan thought for a moment, "The goods in the capital are more plentiful than here, so there's more to choose from." He said, "How about this, you write to your uncle and aunt to ask if they have any. If they do, just buy them there and send them over!"
Gu Bin: "Sure, do you have a brand you'd like?"
Xie Yan: "Both Shanghai and Seagull brands are fine. Should I give you the money directly or send it to your parents?"
Gu Bin waved his hand, "There's no rush. If they can buy it, you can pay me back in time!"
Xie Yan thought about it and agreed, so he put down his hand that was about to take out money.
The other educated youth at the settlement couldn't understand why Xie Yan wanted to marry the brigade leader's fat daughter. After all, Xie Yan was quite handsome, though not as good-looking as Shen Jianguo, but still better looking than the others! Most importantly, Xie Yan didn't seem like someone who was short of money!
Why did he choose to marry the fat daughter of the brigade leader, who was disliked by everyone?
Xie Yan's affair has added a lot of discussion points to the dull and tiring life of the educated youth settlement. If Xiliu Village had a trending topics list, the top few topics would definitely be about Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui's marriage. The number one would definitely be: "The brigade leader's chubby daughter is getting married!"
After all, Yu Yuehui is much more popular than Xie Yan among the villagers!
In addition, there was Shen Jianguo in the educated youth settlement, who could overshadow all the other educated youths with his own strength!
The other villagers' attention was focused on Shen Jianguo, which resulted in the other educated youth not holding a significant place in the villagers' hearts!
However, Xie Yan's name was at the top of the trending topics list in the educated youth area, and there was definitely enough discussion about him!
Wan Chun'er's dormitory...
Using the moonlight streaming in through the window, Wan Chun'er turned to look at Wang Hongmei, who was sleeping beside her, and asked, "Didn't you and Xie Yan come together? What's Xie Yan's background? Why is he suddenly going to marry that ugly girl from the brigade leader's family?"
Wang Hongmei pursed her lips, "What else could it be! It's just to avoid working! That ugly girl may be a bit ugly, but she's incredibly hardworking! Didn't you see? When she was carrying wheat, she was even stronger than a man!"
"Men are very pragmatic. In this situation, what does it matter if they marry an ugly woman so they don't have to work?"
"Anyway, if he can go back to the city later, he can sneak away, change his identity, and marry a young and beautiful woman! What can the people here do to him?"
Wan Chun'er thought about it and realized it made sense! Yu Yuehui might be a bit ugly, but she has a brigade leader as her father and is so capable herself. If Xie Yan marries her, will he still have to work?
If a man decides he doesn't want someone else in the future, he can simply marry another one. This is a perfectly normal thing for a man!
Yuzhen whispered, "I know that Xie Yan, like Gu Bin, is from the capital."
Wan Chun'er exclaimed "Oh!" No wonder these two were so close; they were from the same place! She had thought it was because they were the only two men in their group that they got along so well!
Wang Hongmei scoffed, "So what if they're from the capital? Aren't they just like us, not even knowing if they'll have a chance to go back to the city!"
"Oh, I misspoke! It should be that we still have a chance to go back to the city, but Xie Yan doesn't. He married a local woman and will be settling down here!!!"
His tone was full of schadenfreude!
Yuzhen sighed as well! Yes! Once you marry a local, it's like giving up the chance to return to the city.
Even if they get divorced after the wedding banquet, it will be very difficult for them to return to the city!
Wan Chun'er couldn't help but sneer, "And he's a man? Is that all he's got? He couldn't even handle a few days of work, tsk tsk! He's not even as good as us..."
The other two also disliked Xie Yan very much!
I have absolutely no respect for his behavior of living off a woman!
Just like here, the female educated youth dormitory next door was also discussing Xie Yan.
Wang Mei was excitedly discussing who she would marry next time she couldn't stand the hardship of working.
Zhang Pingping was initially a little upset, after all, Xie Yan was the person she had her eye on; he was handsome, humble and polite, and from the capital.
If she marries Xie Yan, she will have the opportunity to return to the city and become a resident of the capital!
She was planning to slowly get closer and cultivate feelings, but who knew that Xie Yan was such a coward, even worse than herself. He couldn't stand it after only a few days of work. He would endure an ugly man just to avoid working!
After Wang Mei finished speaking, she noticed that no one in the dormitory answered; it was completely silent. She couldn't help but nudge Zhang Pingping next to her, "Pingping, what do you think?"
Zhang Pingping was lost in thought when she was interrupted, and then slowly said, "Who knows? Take Xie Yan, for example. Nobody expected him to break down so quickly when he first arrived! He'll be the fastest person to get married in the educated youth community!"
Wang Mei thought about it and realized it made sense! Everyone else's wedding was traceable, but this Xie Yan was too sudden. They didn't notice anything unusual until the two of them had already set their wedding date!
Noticing that neither of the two people on the other end were speaking, Wang Mei called out loudly again, "Lijuan, Yingchun? Why aren't you two saying anything?"
From the other end came Shen Lijuan's hushed voice, "Sister Mei, Yingchun is already asleep! I feel that if there are any marriages later, they probably won't be with the male educated youth."
There are now only four people left over there. Shen Jianguo is a heartthrob, and many girls like him. He is also the most likely to be the next one to get married.
But that won't happen in the next few years. If Shen Jianguo gets married, it will definitely be in a few years, and only if he still has no hope of returning to the city by then.
As for the others, Liu Yihong definitely won't get married, as he's determined to return to the city. As for Song Jianshe, that's less certain; he might get married after Shen Jianguo does.
Gu Bin, he looks like a rich young master, he'll definitely go back to the city, he won't get married here.
As for the female educated youth, Shen Lijuan felt it was hard to say! Anyone was possible! And no one was possible!
