He Yan took Jiang Tang to a nearby photo studio, and he was very conflicted all the way.
I wanted to hold Jiangtang's hand, but I didn't dare.
There was no movement for a long time, and just when I was about to give up, a person on a bicycle in front of me was riding very fast and almost hit Jiangtang.
He Yan took the opportunity to grab her hand and pulled her inside, and he never let go after that.
Full of joy, he held Jiangtang's hand and walked briskly towards the photo studio.
As soon as he entered the store, he greeted the boss familiarly, his eyes full of unconcealed anticipation: "Comrade, we want to take a couple of photos."
"Alright, comrade, do you want to change clothes?"
"Need not."
"Okay, come and sit here, comrades."
He Yan and Jiang Tang sat side by side, their figures leaning against each other tightly, looking a little nervous.
The photographer smiled and reminded them to get closer. He Yan slightly turned sideways and gently leaned towards Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang's cheeks flushed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a shy and sweet smile.
With a "click", this beautiful moment was frozen and became eternal.
Then, they each took a photo separately. He Yan stood tall and straight, with a firm and gentle look in his eyes, as if declaring his feelings to the world; Jiang Tang tilted her head playfully, her eyes sparkling, full of girlish agility.
"Okay, you two, come back in a week to pick up the photos."
He Yan put the receipt into his pocket and said to Jiang Tang, "I'll take it out and send it to you."
Jiang Tang smiled playfully: "Where are you going to send it to me?"
"I definitely don't dare go to the compound. Can I send it to Hongguang Commune?"
"The whole commune is almost aware of our affair. Come on."
After returning to He Yan's home, He Yan skillfully tied an apron, picked up a kitchen knife, and began to cut vegetables. His movements were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he was someone who cooked frequently.
Jiang Tang sat obediently in front of the stove, adding firewood into the stove. The firelight illuminated her face, which was bright red and very beautiful.
The porridge in the pot gradually began to boil, emitting an enticing aroma. The side dishes also became attractive in color after being stir-fried by He Yan.
Jiang Tang looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but salivate. She ate with big mouthfuls and mumbled as she ate, "He Yan, your cooking skills are amazing! If I live with you every day in the future, I will definitely become fat as a ball."
He Yan looked at her lovely appearance, smiled dotingly, and said nothing, but his eyes were full of longing for their future life, as if he had already seen the scene of the two of them accompanying each other day and night and living a daily life.
After dinner, it was already dark, and He Yan delivered ginger candy to the gate of the compound.
The two stood in the shadows, their eyes meeting, filled with reluctance. He Yan gently held Jiang Tang's hand and whispered, "Let's go back."
Jiang Tang nodded slightly and whispered, "Be careful on the road too."
The two of them were very cautious and kept an eye on the movements around them, fearing that they would be discovered by Liu Xiulan.
When Jiang Tang returned home, he saw Liu Xiulan sitting in the living room, holding a piece of red cloth in her hand, frowning slightly, and gesturing carefully.
Jiang Tang came over curiously and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Without even looking up, Liu Xiulan said, "This red cloth isn't enough to make a double quilt. I guess I can only make a thin single quilt, perfect for summer."
Jiang Tang looked puzzled and asked again, "Who is this for?"
Liu Xiulan then raised her head, looked at Jiang Tang, and said, "I'm preparing a dowry for your sister. Your brother-in-law's family will come to propose marriage in a few days, and discuss the wedding date at the same time."
Jiang Tang opened her mouth in surprise and blurted out, "So soon?" Liu Xiulan rolled her eyes at her and said, "They're already dating, so why put it off? Look at the couple next door, they kept putting it off, but in the end, they're getting married."
Jiang Tang was startled again and asked quickly, "What? They're getting married? When?"
Liu Xiulan put down the red cloth and said, "Someone from the Gu family came this afternoon. The two families talked for the whole afternoon and even asked your father to come along. They said they'd like to have the wedding on November 1st of this year. They're also worried about any more rumors, so time is very tight."
"Eleventh?" Jiang Tang was startled, thinking to herself, the book seemed to indicate this was the year, but she hadn't paid much attention to the date at the time. Could it really be the eleventh? With less than a month left, was there enough time to prepare?
Jiang Tang couldn't help but shudder when she thought of what she had experienced at Xia Qiu's wedding.
She hurried back to her room, closed the door, and slipped into the space.
As soon as she saw Meng Si Ning, Jiang Tang said anxiously, "Si Ning, I won't go back to attend Xia Qiu's wedding this time no matter what. In the book, at her wedding, I was confused and had sex with Zhang Hexi..."
Meng Si Ning frowned, looked at her with concern, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you will definitely not be in danger this time. Why are you so nervous? Aren't they married yet?"
"Didn't you hear this afternoon? My mom said Gu Jingshen and Xia Qiu are getting married this November."
"What? Eleven? It's less than a month. Are you in such a hurry?"
Jiang Tang nodded: "I guess it's because of this incident. If we don't get married, it will be bad for Xia Qiu's reputation."
"Maybe. Whatever, it's fine if they get married." He changed the subject and said with a smile, "How about a date with He Yan today?"
Jiang Tang blushed and said, "Not bad, but he was very quick and told his parents."
Meng Si Ning smiled: "Dating now is different from later. Did his parents say anything?"
"No, he said he was looking forward to seeing me. When we were having dinner today, he told me about his family situation.
My father was the director of the local cigarette factory, my mother was the sales director of a machinery factory, my grandfather was a veteran of the Red Army, and my grandmother was an embroiderer, skilled at making cheongsams and wedding dresses. Later, she worked at a garment factory and is now retired. Both are in good health, in their seventies. My brother is married and works in the factory's logistics department, and my sister-in-law just had a baby and is currently raising it at home. My sister is also married and is a team leader at a department store, and my brother-in-law works in a government agency there.
"Oh, that's a good offer. Will he stay here or go back there?"
"He said that since he's not the boss, he has more freedom and can be anywhere. Ultimately, it all depends on where I am."
Meng Si Ning smiled: "I really care about you."
Jiang Tang's face flushed again: "Oh, I think it's still very far away."
As night falls, the members' meeting room in the compound.
The seat was packed with more than twenty people.
Jiang Tang and Jin Baoyi sat together. They were the only two people of similar age here.
Aunt Zhang and the others were currently surrounding Liang Tianying to ask about Xia Qiu's marriage.
Jin Baoyi said with a bitter face: "Because of this, my family scolded me a lot and told me not to play with Chen Qingyu in the future. My mother has a grudge against the Xia Qiu family, hey."
"This is my fault too. I was the one who dragged you here."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with testifying, since I never said anything. My mother also told me to spend more time with you, saying you're very successful now, working very actively in the commune and even setting up a market there.
Jiangtang, how did you come up with all this? Why didn’t I realize you were so talented before?
Jiang Tang threw her head proudly: "Before, I didn't show off my talent. I'm too talented, how could that make you stand out? I'm giving you a chance."
Jin Baoyi looked up at the sky speechlessly, feeling that Jiang Candy was still the same Jiang Candy as before.
