Fortunately, the halfway out of the village was a straight road with no potholes or bumps, so Xie Yan was able to ride his bike back with Yu Yue on it.
After passing this section of the road, there is a small hill. Only one person or someone with great strength can ride up here. Someone like Xie Yan cannot do it at all.
But Xie Yan brought Yu Yuehui with him, a person weighing over 200 pounds, who simply couldn't get up there!
Xie Yan had no choice but to get off, and even this short distance left him drenched in sweat! He couldn't help but wonder if he was too weak!
Then he thought, "Isn't it normal to feel weak? I haven't had a proper meal in a while, no wonder I feel weak!"
Yu Yue looked at Xie Yan, who was covered in sweat, and felt genuinely sorry for him! Xie Yan had been looking for her clean and refreshed just now. She ran to Xie Yan's side and said, "I'll push the cart. I'm strong. Look, you're already sweating. Take a break!"
Xie Yan didn't stand on ceremony. With Yu Yuehui's strength, she could lift him up, so he handed the car over to her without hesitation.
Phew! It's so much easier not pushing the stroller!
Take a slow walk and catch your breath!
Xie Yan calmed down and looked at the girl walking beside him. He felt warm inside, but also a little flustered and melancholy.
I'm really getting married!
This is my first time experiencing marriage after living two lifetimes!
Thinking of her parents who were still in the capital, Xie Yan didn't really want to tell them, but she was afraid of being blamed later. In the end, she decided to just write them a letter to inform them, without needing their consent.
He has the letter with him and plans to mail it today.
By the time they receive the letter, they might not even read it immediately. By the time they remember to read it, it will be too late.
At that time, it didn't matter if they had any opinions, because the emperor was far away and couldn't control them.
At most, she would write a letter to scold him; Xie Yan wasn't afraid at all.
Actually, Xie Yan waited until now to send the letter so as not to upset his parents. Marriage is supposed to be a happy occasion, and if they say something unpleasant, and he happens to open it and read it, wouldn't that just be creating trouble for himself?
Xie Yan did not want this to happen.
Xie Yan is only writing to them now in order to solve this problem at its source!
Thinking about what they needed to do later, Xie Yan asked Yu Yuehui beside him, "Yuehui, did your parents tell you what we need to buy today?"
Yu Yue nodded. "My parents said long ago that we should buy three catties of wedding candy today. After we get our marriage certificate, we can get half a catty of candy for free from the supply cooperative. We'll buy another two and a half catties then. After all, there are quite a few people in the village, and giving a little to each household will be a good way to express our gratitude! Mom has already given me the tickets and money!"
Xie Yan did some mental calculations and realized that this amount of candy would be enough. "Shouldn't we leave some for the family?"
Yu Yue shook her head. "We don't have that many sugar coupons left. We can only prioritize those outside!"
Why!
Xie Yan also understood that this generation, especially in rural areas, is rather peculiar. They always save the best food for guests, rarely keeping any for themselves! They don't mind eating coarse food themselves, but when guests come to their home, they must make sure they are well-fed!
This kind of spiritual thank-you banquet cannot be learned!
In his mind, good things are for himself, and delicious food is for him to eat! If he's starving, it's impossible for him to give up his steamed bun to someone else for a cornbread!
In this era, things like candy were quite valuable, so family members would definitely have to eat them first! At least one piece per person, right?
He took out two jin of sugar coupons from his hand and handed them to Yu Yuehui. "Yuehui, take these two jin of sugar coupons and money with you. Buy more later. I'll give one jin to the educated youth center, and keep the other jin at home for my family to eat!"
"Let the family have a taste of these wedding candies too!"
Yu Yue glanced at the money notes in Xie Yan's hand, thought for a moment, and then took them in her hand, saying, "Okay, I'll buy them and take them home to tell my family that you bought them!"
"My parents will be very happy!"
Xie Yan smiled. He was still quite unaccustomed to suddenly becoming someone else's son-in-law, and he was still a little dazed!
I remember seeing videos on my phone before, showing sons-in-law visiting their fathers-in-law for Chinese New Year. In those videos, the sons-in-law were either wandering around the village or squatting down to smoke. At the time, I watched them as funny videos and never imagined that one day I would become someone else's son-in-law! Become one of those people in the videos!
Looking at Xie Yan's faint smile, Yu Yue was also very happy. She felt that Xie Yan liked her a little, otherwise he wouldn't have bought her such an expensive watch, right?
Looking at the watch on her wrist, Yu Yuehui couldn't suppress the smile on her face!
It's so beautiful! This watch looks amazing from every angle!
She also wanted to do more for Xie Yan, so she asked, "Do you want to invite your close friends from the educated youth community over for dinner tonight?"
After all, dinner that night was quite plentiful. Her mother gave her meat and pastry coupons, and the family had also slaughtered two chickens and prepared cured meat, which was only eaten during the New Year. Dinner was definitely not going to be too bad!
If Xie Yan knew what Yu Yuehui was thinking right now, he would definitely exclaim, "It's not just bad! It's incredibly lavish!"
Xie Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it, there are quite a few people at the educated youth settlement. It wouldn't be good to invite one but not another!"
After all, even if we don't get along very well, we still have to keep up appearances, right?
"Those who are close to each other don't care about this meal!"
If Gu Bin knew what kind of meal he missed, he would definitely say he cared! He cared! Was it an ordinary meal? No, it wasn't!
This is a lavish meal!
He hasn't had it in so long! He's practically craving it.
Xie Yan and Liu Yihong knew they had missed out on such a feast, and they would definitely grab Xie Yan and shake him vigorously to tell him how much they cared!
Of course, these two people had no chance to know!
Because Xie Yan never even considered taking the two of them out to eat!
Following behind, Yu Yuehui led Xie Yan at a speed that was significantly faster, easily navigating even slightly steep uphill sections.
This made Xie Yan marvel at the power of the large-diameter vehicles of that era!
That's something that future shared bikes can't compare to; shared bikes can't even go up a slightly steep slope!
The two arrived in the county town early, so they went to get their marriage certificate first. Xie Yan then took Yu Yue back to the photo studio next door.
