After finishing their makeup, the three couples went out to get their marriage certificate. They had to take photos before getting the certificate. On the way, they probably went to the commune to buy wedding candies and fruits. It was almost noon when they came back.
The same process, first the cadres speak, then the couple takes the oath, and finally they eat happily.
While the brides were putting on makeup in the morning, several boys had already changed the room. However, it was still early after dinner, so they didn't go back to the bridal chamber so quickly as there were still a lot of things to do outside.
The dishes and table were cleared away, what needed to be returned was returned, the hustle and bustle died down, and the space was left for the newlyweds.
It was still early, and Xu Manman went up the mountain carrying a backpack.
She was bending over to dig mushrooms.
"Xu Zhiqing."
Why did Xue Mingxin talk to her today?
Xu Manman put the mushrooms she dug into her backpack, straightened up, and looked at the person who came. "Xue Zhiqing, what's going on?"
"...I'd like to ask Xu Zhiqing for a favor."
What a familiar beginning. Thinking of the previous conversation, Xu Manman opened her mouth and was about to refuse.
"I want to ask Xu Zhiqing to help me make some hot sauce,"
Xu Manman was still thinking about pretending to be a couple, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't play by the rules. Xu Manman was a little unresponsive for a while.
"Huh? Hot sauce?"
"Yes, I need to send something home, so I'd like to ask Xu Zhiqing to make a few bottles of hot sauce. I'll provide the ingredients, and I'll give you two boxes of luncheon meat as payment."
Although it wasn't the same thing as before, Xu Manman didn't really want to agree to make hot sauce, as she didn't lack that little thing.
This guy is interesting. He followed her for several days, just for a few bottles of hot sauce?
But I rejected it directly last time, this time...
"Of course you can, but I'll only do it this once, and don't tell anyone else." Otherwise, it will be like a wedding banquet, with everyone coming to see her, and she'll be so busy.
"Okay, tell me what materials you need, Xu Zhiqing, and I'll prepare them."
"How much do you want to make? Do you have any requirements for the taste?" You still have to ask the client's needs clearly.
"...Xu Zhiqing can just do as he sees fit."
This kind of seemingly undemanding party A is the most frustrating.
"Then is there anything you can't eat? What level of spiciness can you tolerate?"
Xue Mingxin thought about it seriously, "I have no dietary restrictions. As for the spiciness... I can tolerate the dishes Xu Zhiqing made today even if they are a little spicier."
Xu Manman had an idea in mind, so she simply made a list for her cousin according to the standards she usually used to make hot sauce for him.
"You don't need to prepare the spices separately, I still have plenty here." Two boxes of canned luncheon meat are not cheap nowadays, so it's okay to subsidize them with a little bit of spices.
"Okay, I'll give you the food in two days." He usually cooks for himself, and he has all the basic ingredients, but he doesn't have enough oil, so he has to find time to go to the commune to get some.
"Bring it here to me when the time comes, and I'll bring it here to you when it's done." She didn't want to make this matter into a tangent, but she certainly didn't want everyone at the educated youth center to know about it.
I don't want to become a chef who specializes in making hot sauce, nor do I want to be targeted by Li Min and Chen Meizhi.
Thinking of this, Xu Manman wanted to punch herself. Knowing how troublesome he was, why did she agree to it in such a moment of confusion? It was too late to regret it now. Fortunately, it was only agreed this time, and after that, they would have no contact again.
Xue Mingxin had no objection to this way of contact. He agreed to bring the things over in two days, and then the two continued to do their own things.
Two days later, the two of them handed over the raw materials on the mountain, and Xu Manman made the sauce that night. Because she would occasionally make some heavy-flavored dishes, the other people at the educated youth site just felt that the aroma today was a bit particularly overbearing.
The next evening, Xu Manman delivered the client's hot sauce on the mountain and received three boxes of luncheon meat.
"? Didn't we agree on two boxes?"
"This is something Xu Zhiqing gave me as an extra... well, it's a big deal."
Xu Manman returned the extra box and said, "No need for that. We agreed on two boxes, so that's two boxes. There won't be a next time for this kind of thing." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Xue Mingxin was left staring at the five bottles of hot sauce and luncheon meat in his arms in a daze. After a few seconds, he chuckled.
If Li Min were here, it would probably fall again.
After these three couples got married, the happiest person was Chen Meizhi. Ever since Liu Li and Xu Meili got married and moved out, she was the only one living in the entire dormitory, which was really a great deal.
There was not much furniture in the room. Xu Meili and Liu Li had moved out all the things they had bought before. She was not well off and had not bought anything during her long time in the countryside, so now the big bunk bed was empty except for her bedding and luggage.
