After the two of them had discussed it, they walked to the counter. Xuemei said to the salesperson, "Sister, how heavy is this pile? Can you weigh it for me? I want them all, okay?"
The salesperson was a little surprised and asked, "That's a lot. Do you really want them all?" After the salesperson said that, he looked at Han Chen again, and Han Chen nodded.
"Sister, seriously, after you weigh it, give me two kilograms and divide it into two portions!" Xuemei said seriously.
"Okay, four pounds and three ounces, that's forty-three yuan!" The salesperson said that and started distributing the wool.
Xuemei handed the money to the salesperson, who took it, counted it, and then handed the yarn to Xuemei. Seeing that no one was around, he leaned close to Xuemei's ear and whispered, "Sister, this yarn actually weighs a little over four pounds, three ounces, and three cents. I saved you over thirty cents!"
"Thank you, sister. Please save some good things for me in the future. I'm from Danru Commune. Next time I come to the county town, I'll bring you some fresh vegetables!" Xuemei said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister!" said the salesperson happily.
Coming out of the department store, Xuemei checked the time. The bus still had more than forty minutes to go, so she said, "Han Chen, are you still going to the purchasing station?"
"No, I didn't have time to repair the radio when I brought it back last time. Let's talk about it next time!" Han Chen replied.
"Then you go to the bus station and reserve a seat first. I'll go to the hospital to talk to Yaoyao and then come over!" Xuemei said.
If you don't reserve a seat in advance, there will be no seats left when you arrive, and the bus will always be packed.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to the time and don't miss the departure time!" Han Chen reminded.
Xuemei nodded and walked towards the county hospital. She found Luo Yao in Dr. Gu's office, where she was wolfing down her meal.
"Luo Yao, come out for a moment!" Xuemei shouted at the door.
When Luo Yao heard the voice, she looked up towards the door and saw that it was Xuemei. She immediately stood up, covered the lunch box, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and ran out.
"Xuemei, why did you come to the county town today?" Luo Yao said, holding Xuemei's hands.
Xuemei first pulled Luo Yao to the side of the corridor so as not to block passersby, then replied, "I came to the county town today for serious business. Han Chen and I are here to get our marriage certificate!"
"ah!"
Xuemei quickly covered Luo Yao's mouth and said, "Why are you so excited?"
Luo Yao pulled Xuemei's hand down and replied, "This was so sudden! I was so surprised!"
"What's so surprising? We are both engaged. Isn't it just a matter of time before we get the marriage certificate? This time, I will come to inform you as soon as I get the certificate!" Xuemei said with a smile.
The last time Xuemei got engaged, Luo Yao didn't find out until almost a month later, but she talked about Xuemei for a long time.
"You did a good job this time. We are good friends. You should have told me about your situation earlier. Then when will you hold the wedding? So I can ask for leave in advance?" Luo Yao asked.
"Not yet. Some parts of the house are not ready yet. It will be next month. If Qingya hasn't had her winter vacation by then, she will come and tell you!" Xuemei explained.
"Okay, I also have good news to tell you. I passed the regularization exam and ranked second in the whole college. I have been regularized now!" Luo Yao said a little proudly.
Xuemei checked her watch and replied, "Yaoyao, congratulations! I knew you could do it. Yaoyao, I don't have time to chat with you now. I have to go to the bus station. Han Chen is waiting for me there!"
"Isn't the next bus back to your commune at 4:30?" Luo Yao asked in confusion.
"The bus at noon today was delayed. It only leaves in twenty minutes. I'm really leaving. Let's talk next time!" Xuemei said, waving her hand.
When they arrived at the station, the bus was already packed with people. Xuemei finally squeezed in. Fortunately, Han Chen was sitting in a seat relatively close to the front, in the two-person aisle seat in front of the door where one got off the bus.
Han Chen saw Xuemei and quickly stood up and pulled her to sit in his seat. Han Chen only occupied his own seat, so he let Xuemei sit down and leaned against her side, with the backpack placed in front of her legs.
"Han Chen, if you get tired of standing, tell me and we'll change!" Xuemei said, pulling Han Chen's sleeve.
"It's okay, we'll be at the commune in half an hour, just sit back and relax!" Han Chen replied.
"Sister, you two just got married not long ago, right?" the eldest sister sitting next to Xuemei interrupted.
"Yes, sister. How did you know?" Xuemei asked curiously.
"Only newlyweds are as clingy as you two. My husband is completely different now than when we first got married. He's so lazy!" complained the eldest sister.
As soon as the eldest sister said this, many wives and aunts in the car started talking about this topic, and as they talked, the men in the car also joined in.
Xuemei listened to the argument in the car and looked at Han Chen awkwardly. Unexpectedly, Han Chen took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, bent down and whispered in Xuemei's ear: "I won't. I will always treat you well. Just wait and see how I perform!"
After hearing this, Xuemei quickly pushed Han Chen away and said coquettishly, "You...you should be more careful. We are outside now."
Han Chen mouthed four words to Xuemei, "You need a certificate to work!" Xuemei was so angry that she glared at him before she calmed down.
After arriving at the commune, the two first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up the bicycles parked there. Xuemei also took Han Chen to distribute wedding candies to the colleagues present, and then the two rode their bicycles home.
When she got home, the yard door was closed. Xuemei called out to Liu's mother several times, but there was no response. She only heard Xiao Huang's voice calling from inside.
Xuemei and Han Chen pushed open the gate and went in, only to find that Xiao Huang was the only one at home. The doors of the main room and the kitchen were locked. Mother Liu must have gone out, and Father Liu must still be digging bamboo shoots in the mountains.
Xuemei and Han Chen couldn't get in, so they put the backpack in the main hall of the blue brick house.
"Han Chen, let's go take a look inside the new house!" Xuemei took Han Chen's hand and pushed open the door.
Xuemei pointed at the window and said, "Han Chen, after the floor is laid, I plan to put a desk under the window and two chairs next to it. We can sit together and read when we have free time. On the wall to my right, we'll put our big bed. Opposite the bed, against the wall, we'll put wooden boxes and cabinets to store clothes and quilts. Do you think this will work?"
Han Chen looked at his girl, his eyes as dark as ink, staring at her without blinking, the sounds around him seemed to disappear, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and there was a chaos.
Until Xuemei shook his hand and said with a pout: "Han Chen, are you listening to me?"
Han Chen finally reacted, calmed down, took Xuemei's hands, and said tenderly: "Xuemei, just thinking about the two of us living together in the future makes me feel very happy. Feel my heartbeat now!"
After Han Chen finished speaking, he pressed Xuemei's hand against his heart. Xuemei's hand was suddenly so hot that she pulled it back. Like a frightened deer, she looked at Han Chen's eyes blankly, but was attracted by Han Chen's eyes. His beautiful pupils were dark and full of affection, like a whirlpool that could pull people in, with ripples layer by layer, making people sink into it unconsciously.
