Perhaps it was because Du Jiang looked very bad, Huo Yang was a little worried. He was far away and didn't hear clearly what was said on the other end of the phone, but seeing Du Jiang's expression, he felt mixed emotions for a moment.
"Du Jiang, did your uncle say something?"
"It's okay," Du Jiang rubbed his swollen forehead, took out two cents from his pocket and handed it to the staff, "Thank you, comrade."
"You're welcome," the older sister in charge nodded. "Now that the fight is over, please move aside. There are so many people behind us."
This time, Du Jiang noticed that there was a small group of people lined up behind him, and quickly signaled Huo Yang, who was about to ask more questions, to go out first.
As they walked out the door, Huo Yang couldn't help but ask again, "What did Second Uncle Du say?"
Du Jiang glanced at Huo Yang with an indescribable expression, feeling a bit depressed and a bit inexplicably happy, but mostly bewildered. "I always feel that my father's words implied that he was entrusting his orphan to me, but maybe I was wrong."
Huo Yang frowned slightly, "Could it be that something happened to Second Uncle Du? This shouldn't be the case."
Du Jiang shook his head. "I don't know either. Let's wait for my uncle to come over. But is it really okay for my uncle to be so powerful this time?"
"Your uncle is a fox. He must have his own reasons for saying this," Huo Yang said disapprovingly. "Let's go. I'll go get the bike."
Du Jiang was very silent the whole way. No matter how Huo Yang changed the topic, she couldn't cheer him up. It wasn't until Huo Yang pushed his bicycle out of the door of the supply and marketing cooperative that Du Jiang looked at the black 28 bicycle in front of him and then she perked up. "It's really impressive. No wonder everyone wants a bicycle."
"Yeah," Huo Yang sighed as he looked at his vehicle, holding the handlebars with one hand, "It looks good, but I still prefer horses."
Du Jiang just shrugged slightly and said, "Then it will be difficult for you."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you home first." Huo Yang patted the back seat and motioned Du Jiang to sit in it. "Tomorrow, the sixth day of the New Year, I'll be at work. I'll have time to call my uncle. Don't worry about the details. We'll be there for you."
Du Jiang could only smile and say nothing.
Bicycles were a rare and even difficult to find item at that time, especially in the village. Huo Yang's bike attracted a lot of attention as soon as it entered the village. Although there were not many people strolling in the sun in the square, as the place with the most information, Huo Yang was surrounded by people in a short while. Looking at the enthusiastic and excited faces of the men, women, young and old, Du Jiang squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty and left Huo Yang alone in the square to be questioned by everyone.
Perhaps it was because Du Jiang's dead friend was not as good as hers, so Guan Chuan had no sympathy. As soon as he returned to the educated youth point, he couldn't wait to give her a big blow, which made Du Jiang's mouth twitch.
She looked at Guan Chuan in disbelief for several times before she could barely understand what he said. However, it was hard to digest. After all, who could tell her that someone would marry into her family just when she went out to make a phone call?
Fighting back the twitching of his cheeks, Du Jiang confirmed again, "Are you sure you're talking about Zuo Qingfeng, the short, pockmarked, lazy, cunning, and deceitful guy? Are you sure you got his name right?"
Guan Chuan rolled his eyes. "Do you think everyone works like you, working like an ox all day? Zuo Qingfeng's slender figure is not meant for hard work. I thought he was hooking up with someone, but it turns out he's from the poorest family in the village. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Zuo Qingfeng and Wu Ya, two completely unrelated people, were now getting together. Du Jiang shook his head in frustration and asked again, "Are you talking about Zuo Qingfeng?"
"Of course, besides him, who else is called Qingfeng? It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. He's the only one who likes Wu Ya's round face. He spent a lot of money just to avoid working." Guan Chuan cursed Zuo Qingfeng with great contempt, which made Du Jiang's heart twitch, but he finally accepted the fact.
"Okay, have Zuo Qingfeng and his men moved out?" Du Jiang looked around and found that except for Xu Zhizhou and Zuo Qingfeng, everyone else was there. Looking at their indescribable expressions, Du Jiang felt the same way. "What's going on?"
Luo Yue: "Yes, but I think Zuo Qingfeng might have miscalculated. Although Wu Ya is capable and strong as an ox, she can't stand up to her four older brothers. I'm afraid that guy will end up losing more than he gains."
"That's right," Duan Yin nodded in agreement. "Although her family is poor, those people are still good to their only sister. Besides, Du Wuya is very tenacious. Although I don't know how Zuo Qingfeng got her to agree, I guess he can't take advantage of her."
Duan Yin's prediction was correct. At this time, at Du Wuya's house, her four brothers were forcing Zuo Qingfeng to sign and seal. They even found the other party's ID and were leading people to the town to get the certificate. You know, they heard from Aunt Cui that only by getting the certificate can it be considered a real marriage.
Of course, the people at the educated youth camp didn't know this at the time, so Guan Chuan was the first to bring it up, "Do you think we should remind the other party to get the certificate so that it would be more reliable?"
"I think it's feasible," Gu Rumei nodded in agreement. "Although there are no rules that say we can go back to the city, but since Zuo Qingfeng wants to be with the girl, he should give her a guarantee to prevent him from deceiving other girls in the future."
"Okay, I'll go and talk to him." Upon hearing this, Guan Chuan could no longer sit still and rushed out immediately. He was so fast that he passed by Du Jiang and the others like a gust of wind.
Seeing the door open, Du Jiang shrugged and said, "Since Guan Chuan has gone, I guess there's nothing to worry about. I'll go back and digest it first."
Luo Yue looked at Du Jiang sympathetically and said, "Sister Jiang, you go ahead. Chun Xiao doesn't know about this yet. I'll go over and say hello later."
Du Jiang froze as he stood up. "Do you still need to talk to Uncle Yu and the others?"
"I have to tell you," Luo Yue smiled bitterly. "After all, he was sent out from the educated youth center. Otherwise, why do you think Guan Chuan reminded him to get the marriage certificate? He was afraid that Zuo Qingfeng would do something weird again. He seemed to be very quiet, but who knew he would suddenly make such a big move? It's a good thing the whole village didn't know about it, otherwise our reputation would be ruined."
It's bad. I'm afraid the reputation of the educated youth center has long been ruined. With Chen Xiaozhen in front and Zuo Qingfeng behind, Du Jiang's shoulders suddenly slumped. "Forget it, I'll go with you. After all, I'm an older person who came here earlier."
What a sin! Du Jiang could now imagine Uncle Yu’s expression and Aunt Yu’s reaction when the story was told.
Not to mention that he also has a younger sister, Yu Chunyue, who is very dissatisfied with Yu Chunxiao. Du Jiang only feels that the educated youth camp in 1969 was full of suffering.
