The snow in the Youth League's courtyard was cleaned up very cleanly. Lian Xiaomin used to come here often and would go straight into the house to find Yan Jing and the others.
Although the food was simple, it was good enough to fill your stomach since the food had just been distributed.
The educated youth pooled their meat coupons and bought two pounds of meat and two plates of scrambled eggs. There were more than twenty people, with men and women sitting at each table, squeezed together. The door was open and people were also sitting in the main room.
Shi Weihong also came over and sat with Lian Xiaomin.
She gave birth to a little girl this year, who is now five months old.
Yan Jing and she were part of a group of old educated youth who had come to the countryside to work, so marriage was a must.
Apart from the two of them, there were only six people at the table of female educated youth.
Bai Hui, Qiao Liyun and Liu Danxia are old educated youth, and the three new educated youth this year are Gao Lan, Zuo Xiaohong and Su Yan.
After Song Chaoyang is removed, there will be only twelve male educated youth left, and Li Weidong will be the new leader of the educated youth groups.
Everyone first wished Song Chaoyang and Yan Jing, and then started eating with laughter.
Sour cabbage pork stewed with vermicelli is the most difficult dish. Although there is not much meat, everyone is quite satisfied after eating a piece.
Lian Xiaomin didn't care about this. She just ate some pickled vegetables and listened to everyone chatting.
Shi Weihong said that Wang Zhen also gave birth to a little girl in early September. She went to visit her once and found the girl very pretty.
Two of my best friends who used to be best friends at the Youth League Home both gave birth to girls as their first babies. Although the fathers of the children didn't mind and thought it was quite rare, there was still a lot of pressure.
After all, family members will talk about it, and every family wants a boy.
After Lian Xiaomin came back at the end of September, she still hadn't seen Doubao and Wang Xintian. After all, they were busy with the autumn harvest and no one had time to spare.
I heard that Doubao went on a business trip with Zhang Wenrui. He was a driver for the transport team and often traveled all over the country and was away from home.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't Xiao Lingzi come today? Isn't she also very close to Yan Zhiqing?"
After Shi Weihong married Xie Xuwei, she started calling her sister-in-law. In the past, she always called her Sister Weihong.
Xiao Lingzi's younger sister Xie Ni is eleven years old this year. She also goes to school with Yan Jing. Teacher Yan treats her very well. I don't know why the two girls haven't shown up recently.
Shi Weihong smiled awkwardly, thought about it, and finally said it.
"Oh, Xiaomin, my parents-in-law didn't let Xiaolingzi come today because of that guy!..."
She nodded towards the table of male educated youth, and Lian Xiaomin followed her gaze and looked towards the large table in the main hall.
Lin Youshu? What, what does that mean?
Xiao Lingzi and Lin Youshu...
Shi Weihong pursed her lips with an expression that said "that's it", then suddenly she burst into laughter and patted her shoulder.
"Xiaomin, I've discovered that you are indeed more masculine in character. You're not that sensitive in this regard. I wonder what kind of in-laws you'll find in the future..."
Lian Xiaomin was confused and grabbed her wrist.
"No, wait a minute! You mean, Xie Ling and Lin Youshu are dating? And your family doesn't agree?"
"I definitely don't agree. Big Lin is already 24 years old, while Xie Ling is only 18 years old."
"Besides, age is not the most important factor. My parents-in-law think that he, a sent-down youth from Shandong, can never compete with those who have stable jobs in the county town."
Xie Ling's mother, Zhang Xianglan, is Zhang Shengli's younger sister and Zhang Shenglin's third sister.
She has an older brother who is the head of the materials department of the commune, and a younger brother who is an accountant at the county grain station.
Xiao Lingzi is his most beloved daughter, so he must be eager to find a son-in-law for her who has good conditions and eats commercial grain. This is also human nature.
Bai Hui, who was sitting next to them, took a bite of her food and started talking: "Why are you two not eating your food but staring at the table of the male educated youths?"
Lian Xiaomin then realized that she was staring at Lin Youshu with her eyes wide open unconsciously.
He quickly looked away in embarrassment.
"I am really surprised. No one told me, so how could I know that my apprentice was seduced away by Big Lin?"
Bai Hui also laughed: "Master Lian, don't look at that table anymore. Look, the seven new male educated youths are all dressed up there. They thought you didn't know who you were looking at, so you must be nervous, haha."
Lian Xiaomin also grinned. Considering that she was already 33 years old when she traveled through time in her previous life, she would not be shy or embarrassed by such a joke.
Shi Weihong covered her mouth and laughed, and asked Bai Hui: "What's the name of the new educated youth wearing a brown sweater? I think he's handsome and can match Xiaomin a little bit..."
Bai Hui immediately told her: "That's Tan Zhiqing, Tan Rushong. He's really good-looking and hardworking, but he's a bit of a loner."
"The last time he had a high fever, Xiaomin gave him the medicine. He was very grateful and asked me to send three eggs to Xiaomin's house the next day."
"…But I feel that he still can't compare to Shen Yuanchao, what a pity…"
Shi Weihong quickly patted her.
"Don't talk about this outside. He's still wanted."
Bai Hui nodded: "Hey, I just whispered to our own people, what a pity, those three are all good people."
"...Especially Shen Zhiqing. No matter where he gets, he is always the best in appearance and his character is impeccable. I used to think that he was the only one who could match Master Lian..."
Lian Xiaomin was taking a sip of sauerkraut soup when she choked and coughed violently a few times.
Shi Weihong smiled and patted her on the back.
Lian Xiaomin took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "Thank you both, you have a lot of thoughts. Shen Yuanchao is my apprentice, do you understand?"
If Bai Hui had read The Return of the Condor Heroes, she might have said: Xiao Long Nu is Xiao Yang's master...
But she hadn't seen it.
Shi Weihong grinned: "You are the same age as my sister-in-law, so you have to find a husband."
Bai Hui also added: "That's right, that's right~"
Lian Xiaomin took another sip of water to smooth her throat.
"You are what you are, Bai Zhiqing, have you solved your own problem?"
She glanced at the person who was about to run out of power and continued.
"Besides, I have a girlfriend, but she's not from our local area, so don't ask me. I won't tell you even if you ask."
When you get older, even if you are not anxious, there will be people everywhere who are anxious for you. It's really like this in any era. It's so annoying.
In two months, by the end of January, which is the first month of the new year, Lian Xiaomin and Yufang will be 17 years old, or 18 years old in lunar age. No one will be spared by heaven!
Especially in this day and age, the aunties and matchmakers in the village, who are so good at making trouble for others, will not let anyone off the hook.
Shi Weihong and Bai Hui looked at her in surprise. Just as they were about to open their mouths, Lian Xiaomin immediately made a gesture of zipping up her mouth.
The two of them smiled and stopped asking, thinking that Xiaomin's partner might have been introduced by her hometown.
After all, she came from another place to live with her aunt in Sandagou and was not a local resident.
Let’s continue talking about Xiao Lingzi.
