Yu Lili saw that Yun Ningyan's things had all been delivered.
She went back into the house and got a packet of brown sugar that she had prepared.
"Lin Zhiqing, please don't think it's too little, this is a gift from me to you."
Lin Mengmeng waved her hand: "I already said you don't need it, you can just use it for meals."
Yu Lili: "That won't do. If you don't accept our food, we won't come. How can we eat your food for free?"
Since she had already said that, Lin Mengmeng had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing this, the others all brought their things over.
They have everything: brown sugar, eggs, steamed egg cakes, and even grains!
Lin Mengmeng was both amused and exasperated.
I'll figure out a way to pay it back later.
The next morning.
After eating breakfast, Yun Ningyan began to tidy herself up.
There's really nothing to dress up for; the clothes are all too big.
I just tied my hair up.
It was Huo Junshan who helped with the ablation.
After they finished packing, around 11 o'clock, they went to the educated youth settlement.
Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang's room has been tidied up, and stickers have been put up inside.
The bedding and other items have all been replaced with new ones.
We got our marriage certificate yesterday.
Today is just a formality.
Aunt Niu and Zhang Guihua were already preparing to cook.
The two of them arrived early in the morning.
Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng prepared a lot of dishes, not to mention the green vegetables.
Many of them were bought or exchanged from the villagers' homes.
They bought all the meat from the commune.
Pork belly, ribs, two chickens, and two fish.
There are also many side dishes, such as potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, radishes, tofu, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
They prepared twelve dishes for one table.
Braised pork belly, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, braised fish, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried shredded pork with chili peppers, smashed cucumber, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hot and sour cabbage, stewed pork belly with tofu, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, braised eggplant, and shredded pork with potato slices.
Twelve dishes arranged neatly.
The staple food is rice, and also white flour steamed buns.
Everyone looked so hungry they were practically drooling.
Once everyone had arrived, the two aunts had also prepared the dishes.
The brigade leader smiled and said to the old Party Secretary, "Look, these city kids really know how to get things done. The dishes are beautifully colored and well-matched."
The old Party Secretary's face was full of wrinkles from smiling: "Hmm, well done!"
The captain helped him sit down and joked, "You'll have to say a few words later. I usually spend most of the time with everyone, but you can't escape today!"
The old Party Secretary chuckled twice.
"Alright! Both of these children are good. Today is a happy day, so let me say a few words."
Lin Mengmeng busied herself pouring water for everyone, and once the dishes were all served, everyone sat down together.
The old Party Secretary stood up and said, "I am very happy today to have the honor of being the witness for the wedding of Lin Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing. I would also like to say a few words."
"Lin Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing are both good kids. I wish you a happy and fulfilling life and that you have two chubby babies soon. When you go back to the city, don't forget about us old folks!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Mengmeng and Zhang Qiang stood up together and bowed to the old Party Secretary.
Thank you for coming to our simple wedding!
The food was originally arranged for two tables, one for the men and one for the women.
But Huo Junshan had to take care of Yun Ningyan, so he sat at the same table as the woman.
The captain called him to the men's table.
"Third brother, come here. It's crowded over there, but we have room here."
Huo Junshan shook his head: "I'm not going, and I won't drink. I have to take care of Ningning."
Captain!
Aunt Niu Er laughed and said, "Third brother, you go ahead! I'll take care of Ningning for you, it's alright."
Huo Junshan looked at his wife, Yun Ningyan, who also felt that it was inappropriate for him to be sitting there.
He said, "Go ahead! Just don't drink, I can manage on my own."
Huo Junshan then went over there.
Yu Lili and the others were very envious.
"Look how much your husband Huo cares for you! We're all so envious!"
Lin Mengmeng laughed and said, "What are you envious of? If you're so envious, why don't you just find one already?"
She quietly pointed with her chopsticks to the group of male educated youth sitting over there.
Yu Lili's face turned red.
He glared at Lin Mengmeng and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
After Yang Laidi's pursuit of Liu Zhijun failed, Yu Lili gave up on him.
Liu Zhijun is a picky person; he looks down on the people here.
certainly.
Besides the clouds and mist.
The new people who have arrived at the educated youth settlement are all suitable.
Especially Ji Boyu, he's good-looking and energetic.
He's just like Comrade Huo.
But Ji Boyu rarely spoke to them, the female educated youth, and she couldn't connect with him either.
So there's not much hope.
Liang Weiwei laughed and said, "If you want to look for it, what can't you find once you get back to the city? Why do you have to look here?"
Anyway, she's not going to look for a partner here.
Yu Lili: "Alright, stop talking and eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Yun Ningyan barely picked up any food; Lin Mengmeng and Liang Weiwei did it for her.
The two women sat on either side of her, like two bodyguards.
"Ningning, have a piece of pork rib! I think this pork rib is stewed until it's very tender."
Lin Mengmeng picked up a piece of pork ribs for her.
Yun Ningyan: "Eat quickly, or Zhang Qiang might come over to toast you later."
Lin Mengmeng quickly ate a few bites of food.
Zhang Qiang then came over and pulled her to offer a toast.
