Now that the two have met, it is indeed time to put marriage on the agenda.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Jiaojiao would have nodded openly to express her eager anticipation, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue and she looked up at Ji Huaian, she became inexplicably shy and just nodded obediently.
"good."
"Then I'm really leaving."
"Let's go!"
Ji Huaian stared at Lin Jiaojiao's face, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, but he didn't want to leave like that.
Jiang Hao was watching the two of them being so sticky and scratched his head anxiously.
But he didn't dare to step forward and remind him again.
"Since I bought the buns, I'll leave first!"
Lin Jiaojiao also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. If she didn't leave, the person in front of her would definitely not leave first, so she had to take the initiative to bring it up.
Ji Huaian nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll watch you go."
Lin Jiaojiao started walking towards home. After walking a distance, she couldn't help but look back and found that the person was still standing there, waving at her.
She had no choice but to keep moving forward. No matter when she looked back, the person was still there.
The upright figure became smaller and smaller, and more and more blurred, until it was completely invisible.
Lin Jiaojiao then quickened her pace, and recalling the way the man waved at her just now, she couldn't help laughing.
“It’s pretty cute!”
She was looking forward to her future days on the island.
With someone like this by my side, the days ahead shouldn't be boring!
Ji Huaian packed up and left in a hurry only after seeing Lin Jiaojiao leave safely.
Jiang Hao felt something was wrong and shouted quickly.
"Hey, Captain! We've come to the wrong place. The guesthouse is over here!"
"I didn't go wrong."
"Then you are..."
"Report your marriage to the organization!"
"Now?"
Jiang Hao was shocked and hurried to catch up: "Sister-in-law has agreed? Didn't she say she would go to meet her parents tomorrow? This kind of thing should not be done after meeting her parents..."
"You talk too much nonsense!"
"I?!"
Jiang Hao just felt wronged.
How could he be talking too much nonsense? Someone just said more than him!
…
After eating the buns, Lin Jiaojiao didn't rush back.
According to her original plan, she wanted to go shopping first today and then go to the largest scrap collection station nearby to look for some treasures.
At least the heroine's road to wealth in the novel starts from this.
But once I arrived at the scene, my understanding was refreshed.
The on-site scrap collection station has abolished its public-private partnership and is now under unified state management.
Seven people were sorting out the things they had purchased in an orderly manner. If there was anything valuable, it would have been handed over long ago and it would not have been her turn.
Lin Jiaojiao gave up the idea of buying things on Taobao.
I began to look at those old textbooks and newspapers.
When the administrator heard that Lin Jiaojiao was there to buy books, he immediately took her to the innermost area of the venue.
The books here are piled up in a mess. In addition to books, there are also some rotten notebooks and old newspapers.
"Just take whatever you want. If you want less, you don't have to pay!"
Lin Jiaojiao only took a quick glance and saw a few useful books: "Then I won't be polite!"
“Take your time to pick!”
As soon as everyone left, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't wait to jump onto the pile of books.
In addition to some subject materials, there are also many famous books from home and abroad.
There are also a lot of old newspapers.
You should read more about current political affairs, as they may be useful in the exam.
Lin Jiaojiao arranged the information according to the time and compiled a complete set before leaving with satisfaction.
When we came out of the scrap collection station, the sun was almost setting.
The workers had all finished their work and there were many people on the road. Groups of three or four were walking home, laughing and joking.
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but quicken her pace until she returned to the vicinity of the family compound, then she took advantage of no one's attention and slipped into an empty alley.
I bought three pounds of pork belly and five pounds of rice at the exchange.
This morning, Li Qiufen did that, probably to teach her a lesson.
But he was cheated by his own stupid son!
I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight!
You have to prepare in advance.
No matter how hard you try, you can't treat yourself badly.
At this moment, in front of Lao Lin’s house.
Li Qiufen was leaning against the doorway mending shoe soles. Next to her was Zhang Guifen, the wife of Lao Qin from next door, who was picking leeks.
The two chatted while doing their work.
"You're really capable! You found such a good marriage for your daughter, but don't forget us good neighbors!"
"I won't forget that, but... we're young people, so sometimes we don't dare to expect too much!"
"How can you say that? Even though you're a stepmother, all these years we've seen and praised you for doing a great job. How could this girl not be filial?"
"Don't dare say this carelessly. If others hear it, they might think I'm mistreating her as a stepmother. These days, people like me have the hardest time. For example, what happened yesterday morning was spread by outsiders, and it almost caused a misunderstanding!"
"Speaking of which, I really admire you. Six hundred yuan is a lot of betrothal gifts, and you added another two hundred."
Speaking of this, Li Qiufen's heart was bleeding, but she could only smile and agree.
"It's all she deserves. That girl had a miserable life, losing her mother at a young age. Even though she doesn't want to get close to me, I raised her anyway. I feel so bad for her!"
"No, she came back from outside last night and discussed with me and her father that she wanted to use the 200 yuan in advance to exchange for tickets and buy some things for the man. I think it's reasonable. After all, the betrothal gift is high, so she should buy him a decent watch."
"What? Buy a watch!"
"Yes, besides that, I also gave her all the rice coupons, grain coupons, and oil coupons that we could scrape together at home, hoping that she could live a better life. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little. At most, we can just drink corn porridge, and we can always get by."
"Does that girl really want it?"
"They took it all. He left early this morning and hasn't come back yet. I was so worried!"
"What are you worried about? You're too... too kind, aren't you? You still have a little boy. Even though your wife makes money every month, it's limited. When your daughter gets married, you can give her all the betrothal gifts, but how can you give her everything? Will she say a single good word about you?"
"I'm afraid she'll be unhappy! She looked so pitiful yesterday. I was really worried she'd get hurt when she went to her boyfriend's house."
"What injustice did you suffer? She's just asking for more. She's already turning her elbow outward before she even got married. You really are..."
"Mom, I'm back! Auntie is here too!"
Before Zhang Guifen could finish her words, she was interrupted by a familiar voice behind her. She turned around in panic and saw Lin Jiaojiao looking at them with a smile.
In the setting sun, Lin Jiaojiao looks particularly beautiful in her army green Mao suit.
For a moment, she was a little confused.
Is this still the girl she knows, the one who is always serious and gloomy?
Lin Jiaojiao noticed the emotion in her eyes, pretended not to see it, and walked to the door with a smile.
"It just so happens that I bought some extra things today. Aunt, come over to our house and eat!"
