Zhuang Zhimeng said yesterday that she would make something delicious for the three dogs, so she couldn't just do a sloppy job. Today she specially made meat porridge for them.
They usually let the dogs eat whatever they eat. If they drink porridge, the dogs drink porridge too; if they eat meat, the dogs eat meat too.
This time, she used rice porridge, added pheasant liver and lean wild boar meat, and served it to the dogs, who ate it like crazy.
Seeing that the dogs loved the food, Zhuang Zhimeng was thinking about going to the supply and marketing cooperative one day to buy some big pork bones to make soup, which would also supplement the dogs' nutrition.
She had seen it at the supply and marketing cooperative; it was a large bone, shaved clean and smooth with not a single piece of meat in it, but she had never bought it to eat.
Just then, Wang Lihong came over and told her that Liu Xiaocao was getting married. "Are you going to the wedding banquet? Liu Xiaocao did say she invited us!"
Zhuang Zhimeng felt that they should still go, otherwise it would be very awkward if none of the educated youth at the designated educated youth settlement went.
"Xiazi and I are both going!"
"Okay, then let's go together!"
"What happened to her? Why did she suddenly decide to give up on herself?"
"I heard her say that her family had arranged a relationship for her before. The other person's family was well-off, but he was mentally challenged and liked to beat people!"
The other party gave her a bride price of 200 yuan. Her family told her to take leave from work and go home to get married, saying that since they had already received the bride price, she had to go home to get married.
She didn't want to marry a mentally challenged man and contacted her family to say she disagreed. Her family wouldn't let her off the hook and sent another letter urging her to go home and get married immediately.
"Sigh! There's nothing we can do about this!"
"Who says otherwise? Now that she's going to marry that idiot, who knows what her family will do when they find out?"
"That's beyond our control! We'll see how things go then!"
"That's the only way! We'll head to the educated youth settlement tomorrow; she should be getting married from there!"
"knew!"
Jiang Yanxia and Su Mengmeng returned, and Zhuang Zhimeng told Jiang Yanxia: "Liu Xiaocao is getting married tomorrow, and we're invited to the banquet!"
"Getting married tomorrow? It's only been a few days and you're already getting married?"
"She's probably in a hurry. Anyway, let's take the gifts to the educated youth settlement and send her off on her wedding!"
"All right!"
None of the male educated youth went this time. They pooled their money to buy her a thermos, and then each of the educated youth gave her a one-yuan gift.
After returning to the village, An Qingbai dropped off An Dongsheng and went straight home, planning to give the bankbook to Zhuang Zhimeng that evening.
When he reached the intersection near the brigade leader's house, he was spotted by Wang Jinfeng, the aunt who lived nearby. An Qingbai didn't notice her and rode his bicycle home.
Wang Jinfeng thought to herself, "That brat has even ridden a bicycle! Look at how arrogant he is! No way! I have to borrow a bicycle. Only my Qingshu is worthy of riding one."
An Qingbai had just arrived home when Wang Jinfeng arrived right behind him.
He had originally planned to ask his mother if she knew anyone who looked like him, but when he saw Wang Jinfeng, he didn't ask.
Shi Meiling was surprised to see Wang Jinfeng; why was she visiting at this time?
"Is there something you need?"
"Oh dear, Meiling! You didn't even greet your sister-in-law when you saw her?"
"What sister-in-law? I don't know her! Didn't you cut ties with us a long time ago?"
"Wasn't that something from the past?"
"Alright, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Just tell me what you're here for!"
"Meiling! Aren't you going to invite me in for some water?"
"Are you going to talk or not? If you're not going to talk, then don't say anything. Go out and close the gate behind you. Goodbye!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Qing Shu is getting married, and her husband insists on having a bicycle, otherwise he won't agree to marry her."
"Isn't it perfect that Qingbai has a bicycle, and lending it to Qingshu is just what I need?"
"Fine! So that's why you never come here unless you have something to say. You've got your eye on my bicycle! You're dreaming! Get out of here, or I'll beat you up!" He said, reaching for a broom.
Seeing that she was really going to make a move, Wang Jinfeng quickly ran out of Shi Meiling's courtyard.
He spat as he left, "Hmph! Don't ever beg me to come to your house again!" After saying that, he looked back and, seeing that Shi Meiling hadn't chased after him, patted his chest in relief and went home.
Shi Meiling watched Wang Jinfeng run out the door and pouted at An Qingbai: "I knew she had no good intentions. She usually stays far away from our house, as if she's afraid that having anything to do with our family will harm her."
Now that she has this bicycle, she's come knocking on my door like a cat that's stolen some cream!
"I guess she saw me dropping Dongsheng off earlier, and she probably followed me back!"
"Ignore her. If she comes asking for the bicycle again, just kick her out. Don't give her any face! She doesn't act like an elder, so you don't need to respect her either!"
"I understand, Mother! I've got it!" An Qingbai nodded.
