Upon hearing this, the woman who was dressed more elegantly glanced at Chen Suihuan and the others, her eyes full of admiration.
She said: "These three girls are all pleasing to the eye. I would be willing to marry any of them. Yes, alas!"
The woman sighed, then glanced fiercely at Lu Xingyan, who was sitting in the front row with his back straight. "But what's the use of my agreement? My little enemy doesn't agree! He insists on being single!"
The three girls didn't know how to respond to this, so Chen Suihuan and the others simply pretended not to hear it and huddled together to look at the surrounding scenery.
Actually, there is nothing to see. Everywhere there are rice plants taller than people. Now is the time for the fruits to form. In two months, the rice can be harvested.
The rush to harvest is the most tiring. Shengli Brigade has a lot of rice fields, and I heard from an old educated youth yesterday that after picking the rice, they still have to chop the cabbages.
I heard there are a lot of cabbage fields, but I don’t know if I can survive it, Chen Suihuan thought.
Along the way, Chen Suihuan didn't listen to what the older women in the village said. It didn't take long before they arrived at the town.
"The carriage will return to the village at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Please gather here at that time. No one will be waited for after the time. Please pay attention to the time." The uncle driving the carriage said something to everyone, and drove away in the carriage, and no one knew where he was going.
After arriving at the market, the educated youths dispersed, and Chen Suihuan and the other two strolled around for a while.
Pingzhen is not big, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end.
After that, the three of them discussed and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look. They found that the supply and marketing cooperative here was very small. There were some very common daily necessities, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and nothing else.
"I thought the town was so big, but it only took me half an hour to walk around it. Sigh!" Qin Fei said disappointedly.
She was the most excited one when she got off the carriage just now, but after going around in circles, she was also the first to become dispirited.
Gao Yue said: "This place is definitely not comparable to Beijing City."
The three of them walked for a while, and Chen Suihuan saw the state-owned restaurant not far away. It was almost noon, and the carriage would not return to the Victory Brigade until two in the afternoon, so they had to have a meal here.
Thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to eat much better in the future, Chen Suihuan pointed at the state-owned restaurant and said to Qin Fei and Gao Yue: "Let's eat there for lunch today!"
The two nodded in agreement.
After entering the restaurant, the three of them found an empty seat and sat down. Chen Suihuan likes to eat rice, so he ordered two taels of rice and a serving of braised pork.
Qin Fei ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, ate two bites and threw away her chopsticks with a look of disgust. Gao Yue ordered a bowl of meat-filled dumplings, which tasted delicious.
Seeing Gao Yue eating so happily, Qin Fei stood up and ordered another serving of dumplings.
Chen Suihuan looked at the bowl of noodles after taking a bite, thinking that Qin Fei's family background must be not simple, and she might be a young lady who was spoiled by her family.
"Qin Fei, you only took a bite of this bowl of noodles. Don't you want it anymore?" After finishing their meal, the three of them stared at the bowl of noodles in a daze.
Qin Fei bit her lip. It was true that she was spoiled, but she also knew that she shouldn't waste food. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then I'll pack it up and have it for dinner when I get home."
When the topic of packing up was brought up, Chen Suihuan and Gao Yue also remembered it, and they both went to buy a few meat buns to take with them to eat in the evening.
After finishing their meal, they went to the post office to pick up packages. When they arrived, they found that most of the new educated youth were there. It seemed that they had received packages from their families.
Qin Fei and Gao Yue each had one, while Chen Suihuan had three. They were both very surprised.
Gao Yue asked, "Why do you have so many packages? What's in them? Did your parents send all your belongings to you?"
Chen Suihuan shook his head, and then gave a general account of his family affairs.
"My brother joined the army, and we sold our house. Except for the big items that couldn't be sent, I sent everything I could borrow or buy."
"Why are your grandmother, uncle and younger uncle so mean? They bully you like this. Fortunately, you are smart, otherwise you would have lost your job and house to them." Qin Fei said to Chen Suihuan with admiration.
Chen Suihuan just smiled indifferently. He and Chen Sui'an had gotten rid of them now, so he didn't mention anything else.
The three of them were each holding their own packages. When they turned around, they saw Lu Xingyan standing behind them. They didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Lu Xingyan's gaze swept across Chen Suihuan's face, and he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
"I have a letter to pick up. You'll be fine after you get it. You must have so many packages, they must be very heavy. I'll get two for you later."
Chen Suihuan shook her head. She also realized that Lu Xingyan seemed to be a little too enthusiastic towards her. "No, I'm very strong. It's just three packages. It's not a big deal at all."
Although he said no, Lu Xingyan acted as if he didn't hear it. After taking his own letter, he turned around and took the two packages from Chen Suihuan.
"You have so many packages. It's definitely not safe to leave them outside. I'll send you two boxes when you go back. You can lock all your things in the boxes then."
Lu Xingyan said to Chen Suihuan.
Qin Fei and Gao Yue, who were following the two, said that they also wanted the box.
The box was not too big for Chen Suihuan, so she only needed one and put it outside for people to see. If there were any valuables, she would just put them back into the space.
She rejected Lu Xingyan again. This time, Lu Xingyan just looked at her and said nothing.
Chen Suihuan felt that Lu Xingyan seemed a little unhappy. She was sensible and didn't say anything more. At most, she would give him the money later.
In short, Chen Suihuan didn't want to owe Lu Xingyan a favor.
When the four of them returned to the gathering point with their bags, quite a few people were already waiting there.
In addition, Lu Xingyan's mother and the fat lady from before were also there. They were both stunned when they saw Lu Xingyan carrying two large packages.
"Son, where did this package come from? Was it sent to you by the army?" As he said this, he walked over and wanted to take the package.
Lu Xingyan stepped aside and placed the package at Chen Suihuan's feet: "This is Chen Zhiqing's. I'm just helping her carry it."
Lu Xingyan's mother Xu Xiu was stunned again, and then her eyes sparkled as she kept looking at her son. Then she was delighted to find that her son, who had never avoided her sight before, actually looked away.
Is this, shy?
This major discovery made Xu Xiu extremely surprised. His son had become smart, so how long would it take for him to have a grandson?
Xu Xiu immediately turned her gaze to Chen Suihuan. Chen Suihuan was startled by her stare, but he kept his head down and looked at the small stone at his feet, as if he wanted to stare a flower out of it, and he refused to look up.
When Lu Xingyan saw Chen Suihuan like this, his brows frowned slightly.
