He pushed the door open, unloaded the basket and handed it to Yufang and Da Cuinai, whispering, "I caught meat today, so let's cook it tonight. I guess other families will also have to go to the brigade to share meat, and the smell of meat will waft around. It's okay."
Yufang took a look and was surprised to see a pheasant and two wild boar elbows.
I just had a meal the day before yesterday, and I'm eating again today? This life is too good.
Seeing her smile, Lian Xiaomin said seriously: "How much meat can a small pheasant have? Let's cook it all in one piece. Grandma Cui didn't come back that day, so we didn't have anything to eat. Let's eat it together today!"
Zhang Dacui patted Lian Xiaomin on the back, knowing that she was a filial child.
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaomin. I'll go get some mushrooms."
When Li Xianghai got home from get off work, he wondered why they were eating stewed meat again. What kind of day was this? Xiaomin must have gone hunting.
He guessed what was going on when he saw a few old ladies in the village who had not gone to work running towards the brigade headquarters on their bound feet, saying they were going to share wild boar meat.
That night, everyone had another big meal, and Lian Qiuping was especially asked to eat more stewed chicken and chicken soup so that she would have more milk.
The kids were also very happy, and they all ate with relish, their little mouths greasy.
After having dinner at her aunt’s house, Lian Xiaomin took Xiaofu and Xiaoya home early.
She must be tired. She was still in Xiliangtun the night before and only slept for more than three hours. She drove back and forth, so she had to go to bed early tonight.
After I got back, I went to bed at 8:30 and slept until dawn the next day. It really refreshed me.
This time I don’t have much to do, so I can just rest at home, teach my two kids some words, and read picture books.
Lian Xiaomin calculated in her mind that judging by Doubao's anxious look, he must have asked for leave today to go on a blind date, and would be back tomorrow at the latest. When he got home, he would have to come to her immediately to report the result.
We are all best friends and hope that each other can have a good marriage.
Just as she expected, another day passed, and when it was dark the next evening, Doubao and Wang Xintian came to Sandagou together and knocked open Lian Xiaomin's gate.
As soon as I saw the smile that Doubao couldn't hide on his face, I knew that it would definitely be successful.
Xiaofu and Xiaoya hadn't gone to bed yet, so the three of them went straight into the east room and sat on the big kang to chat.
The two little kids playing at the end of the kang called people one by one and continued playing.
"How are you, Doubao brother? I see you look good. Are you feeling happy because of the good news?"
She asked with a smile while bringing them the cut watermelon.
Doubao put the two boxes of malted milk and two bags of White Rabbit candy that he brought to Lian Xiaomin's sister-in-law aside and replied with a grin, "I went to Xiliangtun yesterday. When the leader heard that I was going for a blind date, he specially approved me to drive a truck."
"...I brought my mother and elder sister with me, and we met each other all at once, and decided on the date right away. Xiaomin, this is your vision."
He gave a thumbs-up gesture.
"Chang Zhiqing was so outstanding that our family liked her and she agreed. Later, my eldest sister acted as a matchmaker and gave the betrothal gifts."
"…Sixty-six dollars, plus a new set of clothes, I'll keep it for her first. After we get the marriage certificate in a few days, I'll buy her a watch and two sets of clothes."
Wang Xintian was eating watermelon nearby and smiling at the boy. Look how happy Doubao was. The guy was telling Xiaomin about it with a beaming smile.
"Xiaomin, you don't know. Doubao was so happy that he wanted to come over to kowtow to you in the middle of the night. He went back and described Chang Zhiqing to me, saying how great she was, and how she was prettier and taller than my wife..."
"Why are you comparing yourself to me? If your sister-in-law hears it, she will beat you!"
Wang Xintian married Wang Zhen, an educated youth from Sandaogou, and this time Doubao also married Chang Hemiao, an educated youth. What's more, both girls were from Zhejiang Province and were assigned to work in the Northeast, but their hometowns were not in the same county.
What a coincidence! They said they were competing, but Doubao was just joking and making people laugh. The two brothers are very close and can talk about anything.
The three of them chatted happily, mainly talking about Doubao's marriage. Since Chang Zhiqing's situation was special, they also agreed to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
She packed her things and went to the village to get a letter of introduction. She planned to come here to get married on September 1st and never go back.
Of course, he must take his sister Chang Yulu, who came from the neighboring Chenjia Village to work in the countryside, with him. Therefore, Doubao has to buy a temporary job for his wife's sister in the remaining week at the end of this month.
At this point, Lian Xiaomin asked in a low voice: "How was the situation in Xiliangtun during your trip?"
Dou Bao also whispered, "I must have asked around and asked Chang He Miao quietly. When she heard that I knew about this, she must have been told by the girl who saved her. Don't mention it anymore. It was like a thunderbolt that shocked the whole village."
"The captain's father and son disappeared at the same time. The Tian family was left with only Daniu's mother and two little girls. There was no man in charge anymore. How could they not be anxious? They reported it to the police immediately. Guess what happened?"
"The town's officials went to investigate and found a radio station in one of his rooms! My goodness, this is a big deal!"
Lian Xiaomin chuckled in her heart.
When she was on her way back that night, she passed by Tian Changsheng's house and put the old radio she had dug out from outside the village into her house, stuffing it at the bottom of the kang cabinet in Tian Daniu's room.
Things change. This time, the Tian family has two enemy spies, and their days are becoming difficult.
And it's not that Lian Xiaomin is wrongly accusing his family. It is indeed related to Tian Changsheng. Otherwise, couldn't they have dug that thing out?
She didn't tell Doubao these details because they were no longer important.
Lian Xiaomin went to the west room and took the opportunity to take out a set of bright red four-piece bed sheets with a pattern of "Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water".
A six-meter piece of pink floral cloth, a white shirt, and a bright red women's jacket, perfect for autumn wear.
White shirts are suitable for bean bags, and the others are suitable for brides.
Take these things and the bundle and carry them to the east room.
"Brother Doubao, these are my wedding gifts to you. I wish you and Chang Hemiao a happy marriage!"
Doubao took it and his eyes turned red.
"Xiao Min, thank you! These past two days I've been thinking about the first time I met you. The four of us were waiting for you in the back hills to go hunting together... It's all so vivid in my mind!"
"After going through all the things that happened later, one by one, we feel so lucky to have you as our friend!"
Lian Xiaomin smiled and helped him wrap the things in a bag.
Wang Xintian also sighed: "Yes, it would be great if Huzi and Sanyong were here too. In the blink of an eye, among the four of us who grew up together, Doubao, the youngest, is going to get married..."
The three of them sighed for a while, but then they were happy for Doubao. While eating watermelon, they continued to help him plan the wedding and see how the work would go.
Doubao said not to worry, a relative of his eldest sister's in-laws is the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
You can spend some money to find a temporary job as a warehouse keeper. Just do it for now. It's not better than farming.
For a girl of only sixteen, this job is quite easy, which is good enough.
The most important thing is that if I get a job, I can transfer my household registration from Chenjia Village to here and escape from my previous environment.
