The next day.
After breakfast, Wang Fang came to visit with her one-year-old son.
Wang Fang's son is only half a year younger than the three little ones in Mu Yunxi's family. Ever since he learned to walk, he likes to pull Wang Fang over to play with his older brothers and sisters.
Wang Fang happened to get a basket of star fruits yesterday, and when she brought her son here today, she took a few with her.
As Wang Fang led her son into the yard, she saw three little ants squatting in the corner of the yard watching them move.
Wang Fang smiled and waved to the children.
"Junze, Junche, An'an, come here and let your aunt hold you. Your aunt will give you some star fruit!"
Several little guys squatting in a row heard the sound and looked towards Wang Fang. Seeing the carambola in her hand, the second kid Sheng Junche smiled.
"Auntie, can I eat the star fruit first and then hug you?"
Wang Fang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No!"
The little ones are very smart and they won’t be held after they finish eating.
The second brother Sheng Junche hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement, then trotted towards Wang Fang happily.
: "Okay then! Let auntie hold you for a while."
Wang Fang put down the carambola in her hand, picked up the cute little guy and admired him for a while before she was willing to put him down.
There was no way. Although she had a son of her own, the three children in Mu Yunxi's family were so good-looking.
Every time she sees them, she can't help but feel overwhelmed with maternal love and wants to pick up the little ones and give them kisses.
When Mu Yunxi saw her coming, she moved a stool for her, washed and cut the carambolas, and then gave them to the children to eat together.
: "Xixi, have you heard?"
As soon as Wang Fang sat down, she started chatting about gossip with Mu Yunxi.
Seeing her looking at her curiously, Wang Fang continued, "I heard from Jiangbei that several educated youth at the educated youth center are getting married."
: "How many?"
"Yes, three to be exact. I heard that Li Cuihua and a young man from the village have fallen in love and are planning to get married at the end of the year. And Wang Aiguo, the head of the educated youth center, is also planning to get married with Liu Xiaoxiao at the end of the year."
: "Why is it so sudden...? I didn't hear any news about it before." Mu Yunxi was also a little surprised.
It is already 1976. After this year, the above policies will soon change.
I never thought that these old educated youth, who have endured all these years, would choose to get married at this time...
Wang Fang shrugged, saying helplessly, "Actually...it's not that sudden. Wang Aiguo and Li Cuihua went to the countryside before I did, and they're not young anymore. What else can we do if we don't get married? The hope of returning to the city is slim. If I keep wasting time, I'm afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life."
Mu Yunxi: "..."
Mu Yunxi remained silent, not making any comment.
There is nothing wrong with what Wang Fang said. Indeed, it is not easy for those old educated youth who have been working in the countryside for so many years to keep their original aspirations and persist until now.
Without waiting for her to think, Wang Fang continued, "Besides, I think Jiang Bei's kid is about to have a good time."
"Are you talking about him and the captain's daughter Li Yuanyuan?" Mu Yunxi took over the conversation with a smile.
"Yes, he has been visiting the captain's house frequently in the past few months and often goes to help with work. I guess we will hear good news from him soon." Wang Fang smiled brightly.
Mu Yunxi nodded slightly. "Yeah, I've met someone like that before. Yuanyuan is a pretty good girl. If they get together, life will be very interesting."
Wang Fang nodded in agreement.
After staying with Mu Yunxi for half the morning, Wang Fang took her son back.
......
Just as they said, half a month later, news came out that Jiang Bei and Li Yuanyuan were going to get engaged at the end of the year.
Getting married in the first month of next year.
Because she was the daughter of the team leader, more than a dozen tables were set up in the village when she got married. Mu Yunxi, Wang Fang, and the educated youth at the educated youth point all went to give gifts.
When they came out to toast, Jiang Bei and Li Yuanyuan both blushed. The two of them were in love with each other, and it was indeed a good marriage.
......
March 1977.
Another piece of news caused a stir in the village.
The family in the cowshed was vindicated!
Two cars came from the city to pick people up early in the morning.
It was also at this time that everyone realized that Fu Nianhua, the male educated youth who had come here to work in the countryside a few years ago, was actually the grandson of Mr. Situ from the cowshed.
In order to take care of Mr. Situ and his wife, as well as their young children, Fu Nianhua resolutely came to the countryside.
Before leaving, Mr. Situ and his family came to Mu Yunxi's house.
I gave each of the children a thick red envelope and a gift.
I thanked Mu Yunxi and her family and exchanged contact information...
Only then did they leave the Yanshan Brigade together with the people who came to pick them up.
