Chapter 50 Emptying the Enemy's House and Marrying the Bully 6
Fortunately, this spiritual spring water can only relieve fatigue and heal injuries, but it does not have the effect of cleansing tendons and marrow. Otherwise, she would not have been able to bear the pain!
As Ning Yan emerged from the space, a heavy rain began to fall outside. Accompanied by the sound of the rain, she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Zhou Xiaomian knocked on Ning Yan's door. Ning Yan answered but didn't move. She didn't have to work today, so why was she up so early?
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaomian didn't intend to go into her room. Hearing her reply, she said, "Ning Zhiqing, a few of us are going to pick mushrooms on the mountain later. Do you want to come?"
Ning Yan wanted to say no, but then she thought that it was a bit illogical for Xu Xuejuan to know that her family had been robbed and not try to make money.
Oh well, let's just treat it as a trip up the mountain for fun.
"Ah, I really want to sleep all day, but I can't! I'm getting up now, wait for me."
Zhou Xiaomian was amused by her. Ning Yan wasn't as bad as Xu Xuejuan said. She was actually quite cute!
"Okay, take your time. It's still early. We'll go up the mountain after we've eaten."
The rain last night lasted until midnight. It would definitely be very slippery if we went up the mountain too early, but it would be better once the sun came out and the wind blew. These are the words of the old educated youth, after all, they have experience.
Thinking that Ning Yan would have to cook for herself later, Zhou Xiaomian didn't understand why Ning Yan didn't eat with them. It must be so tiring to cook for herself all day.
She even bought a second-hand large pot. Why couldn't she have kept that money for something else?
However, everyone has their own thoughts, and she wouldn't gossip about it, lest she annoy people for no reason.
After breakfast, the educated youth from the village carried baskets on their backs and went up the mountain in a group of people chatting and laughing.
Meng Changqing instructed the newcomers, "After you go up the mountain, you can stay together or split up, but you must not go deep into the mountains, because there are really wild beasts in the deep mountains."
He didn't want to keep bringing these people along; there was only so much stuff, and if everyone tried to gather it together, no one would be able to collect much.
The team members were used to this. After a heavy rain, they could sometimes collect two large sacks of mushrooms. Those mushrooms, once dried, could be sold for a lot of money at the purchasing station, not to mention the black market.
Even if you don't sell it, it's still excellent for your own consumption.
Everyone wasn't stupid; they listened carefully and understood the underlying meaning. After going up the mountain, they went their separate ways. Zhou Xiaomian wanted to walk in the same direction as Ning Yan, but Xu Xuejuan pulled her away, saying, "Why are you following her? She's a capitalist's daughter; she has plenty of money. Whether she finds anything or not doesn't matter to her. Are you capable of that?"
Zhou Xiaomian's family was of modest means, and after Xu Xuejuan said that, he immediately turned and went with her.
Ning Yan didn't care at all; in fact, it made things easier for her to move around.
However, it must be said that none of the five male educated youths (three old and two new) at the educated youth settlement accompanied her, which is enough to prove that everyone was a very pragmatic person.
Yes, that's pretty good. She's also an extremely realistic person!
There were already footprints on the mountain, indicating that the villagers from the team had gone up the mountain early. Ning Yan didn't care and walked straight up the mountain. Occasionally, she would see some mushrooms, which she would pick and put into her small basket.
I bought this little basket after listening to Meng Changqing and someone in the team who knows how to weave baskets. It's convenient and lightweight to carry.
She had only walked for half an hour when she realized that someone was following her.
She waited there on purpose, wanting to see who it was.
A short while later, a burly man appeared.
"Ning Zhiqing, what a coincidence, you're here picking mushrooms too?"
Ning Yan rolled her eyes. "Weren't you always following me around? Just tell me, what do you want? I don't like people who dawdle!"
Fan Dahu scratched his head awkwardly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I've taken a liking to you and want to marry you."
I know you saw me hit someone yesterday. Don't worry, I will never lay a finger on you!
Honestly, I may be mean to outsiders, but I absolutely cherish and pamper my own wife.
"I can support you. You'll have everything other women have, and more. I, Fan Dahu, am a man of my word. After you marry me, I will never let you suffer in the slightest!"
"Do you know my family background? My father was a capitalist. Before I came to the countryside, our house was ransacked, and they were also sent to a farm in the north."
Fan Dahu blinked dumbly, "And then what? Do you want me to find someone to take care of my parents-in-law?"
Wow, he's already calling his parents-in-law!
Ning Yan was amused by his silly appearance. "Silly boy, I mean my identity is problematic and it will affect you!"
"Affect me? They can be sent to the countryside, I'll live my life, how can it affect me?"
My three younger brothers all listen to me, and they've all gotten married. Even if they married you, their lives would still be the same!
He was used to being fearless and didn't really care about Ning Yan's family matters.
He's not in the military or an officer, so there's no need for a political background check. What's wrong with him marrying her?
As long as his wife doesn't mind, then nothing is a problem.
"Can you really find someone to take care of my parents?"
Fan Dahu immediately patted his chest and assured, "I, Fan Dahu, have been out there for almost ten years and know a lot of people. It's just Linbei Farm, isn't it?"
Luckily, I have a brother who works there, so taking care of my in-laws is just a matter of a word!
Ning Yan was now even more satisfied with Fan Dahu.
The main problem is that she doesn't have enough to eat and has to do the hardest work every day. Her parents don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, but they have never done any hard or difficult work in their lives, or even any work at all!
The most tiring thing I've ever done in my life was probably cooking like crazy in the kitchen the other day. Now that I've suddenly gone to the farm, how can I possibly endure that kind of exhaustion?
If Fan Dahu could really find someone to help his parents, their lives would definitely be much better!
"But as you can see, I'm not only bad at housework, I can't even do something as easy as picking mushrooms. If you marry me, you won't be able to even get three meals a day. Do you still want to marry me?"
Fan Dahu's eyes lit up immediately; there was a chance!
"If you marry me, I guarantee you won't have to work a single day. My three younger siblings have always taken turns cooking at home, and I'll let them continue cooking in the future. They'll also wash the clothes. I'm the one who calls the shots in my family, and they won't dare to have any objections. You just need to live a stable life with me."
Ning Yan: Today she has a new understanding of the meaning of living a down-to-earth life - she can just marry him and not do anything!
"Then stop dawdling. Go back and get ready. Even though my parents aren't here, the wedding still needs to be done according to tradition. We need to ask for a marriage proposal, exchange gifts, and set the wedding date closer together. I don't want to do any more work in the fields!"
Fan Dahu was so happy he was practically rolling on the floor. "Then, then I'll go back with you after we finish picking mushrooms?"
This story is a bit long, so feel free to skip it if you're concerned.
