The radio was playing "Butterfly Lovers", which was created in 1959.
Yun Yuan saw a violin nearby. After asking its owner, she picked up the violin and began to play it. The melodious sound of the violin attracted everyone's attention.
"Yun Yuan, you can actually play Western musical instruments!" Chen Yinyue was surprised.
Yun Yuan smiled modestly, lowered her head embarrassedly, and her cheeks were tinged with pink.
“I learned a little bit before, but it wasn’t very good.”
At this time, the radio had a signal again, and the music overlapped with the clip sung by Yun Yuanla.
"Wow, that's amazing!" The educated youth cheered. It was exactly the same as the original.
Chen Yinyue gave a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly.
After one song ended, the next one was "My Motherland 1956", which was also intermittent and could not be received at the beginning. Yun Yuan played the violin to continue.
"A vast river with wide waves, the wind blowing the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..."
At this moment, the Youth League Institute was like a huge KTV, with a high and lively atmosphere.
Wei Ci looked at Yun Yuan in the crowd.
The snowflakes falling outside are gentle and quiet.
The piano music in the room flows naturally and smoothly.
She is confident and elegant, as if she has a halo and is born to be the center of attention.
It’s hard to imagine that just a month ago she was still stuck in the quagmire and almost withered away.
The joyful atmosphere continued until the evening, and when Yun Yuan left, an educated youth followed her out.
"Comrade Yun, my name is Meng Zijun. Can we be friends?"
It's the owner of the violin.
She was wearing a white shirt and black pants, her back was straight, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes when she looked at her.
Yun Yuan tucked her windblown hair behind her ears and smiled, "Of course."
Meng Zijun also smiled and said, "If you want to play the violin in the future, you can come to me anytime."
Yun Yuan's eyebrows curved: "Okay."
Wei Ci watched from the doorway, his eyes narrowed.
Yun Yuan went back and cooked a simple meal, put Wei Ci's portion in front of him, and then went to the kitchen to bring out her own portion.
When she sat down, she noticed that Wei Ci hadn't started eating yet, and wondered, "Is the food today not to my liking?"
Wei Ci shook his head and looked at her deeply.
"Do you want to go back to the city again? I can help you."
Yun Yuan paused and lowered her eyes, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Nothing." She just suddenly realized that she had been brought up in pampered condition and had received a good education. She shouldn't have lived a mediocre life in the village, suffering from rumors and gossip.
"The city's art troupe is still short of a violinist. There aren't many people who can play the violin in this area, and even fewer who can play as well as you. If you're interested, I recommend you go."
Yun Yuan hesitated, "I don't have such plans for now."
"So what are your plans?"
Yun Yuan was confused: "Would it count if I found a man to marry?"
Wei Ci was rarely stunned, "You want to get married?"
Is this also a plan?
"Yes." Yun Yuan said, "Auntie Chunhua introduced me to someone, and I plan to meet him."
Aunt Chunhua is the village chief's wife, and her full name is Wu Chunhua.
Wei Ci laughed in anger, thinking he was short-sighted and had no ambition at all.
"Aren't you afraid of running into another Sun Dahai?"
"This is different." Yun Yuan said, "Last time it was my uncle who asked me to get married, but now I'm looking for someone myself. I won't marry if I don't like her."
Wei Ci was not optimistic. "I think you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River. Once you hit the wall, you will know the pain."
"If it's not suitable, I'll divorce you."
"You think too simply. You don't have your family's support, and you can't stand up on your own. If you get bullied in the future, you'll have no place to cry, and if you divorce, your children won't be with you."
Speaking of children, Wei Ci felt a little uncomfortable, but he was so disappointed with his children that he chose to ignore it.
"Wei Ci!" Yun Yuan put down her chopsticks angrily. "I'm only 18 years old and alone in the world. What's wrong with wanting a companion? Do you have to curse me like this? How do you know I won't have a good life?"
"I'm speaking the truth." Wei Ci took a deep breath: "I'm a man, I understand men's bad habits better than you do."
Yun Yuan said fiercely: "None of your business."
Wei Ci sneered: "You don't know how to appreciate kindness."
Neither of them spoke during the meal.
Wei Ci felt very sad when he thought that he might not be able to eat Yun Yuan’s cooking in the future. Couldn’t she just not get married?
"I'm going to Zhou Bin's house for dinner tomorrow, so you don't have to prepare my dishes."
Yun Yuan responded, "Okay."
……………………………
It snowed all night, and at noon the next day, Wu Chunhua led a mother and son to knock on Yun Yuan's door.
"This is the person I want to introduce to you, Lu Renjia. It's snowing and the roads are difficult to travel, so I'm a little late."
Yun Yuan is a little more beautiful than yesterday.
Lu Renjia's eyes lit up when he saw Yun Yuan. His gaze slid across her fair and beautiful face, then her slender neck and the slight rise and fall of her chest. There were very few fair-skinned people in the countryside, and he was very satisfied.
Wu Chunhua gestured to another older woman: "This is Lu Renjia's mother, you can just call her Auntie."
Yun Yuan invited the three people in, sat them by the charcoal stove, and made some tea.
Lu Renjia explained his situation. He was 24 years old and worked in a soy sauce factory with a monthly salary of 30 yuan. He had a younger brother and an elderly father at home.
He held his head high when he said this, with a strong sense of superiority.
Yun Yuan cooperated and showed an envious look.
Mother Lu put down her teacup and asked, "I heard you were married before?"
Wu Chunhua quickly said: "Yes, they have been married, but Yun Yuan's previous man is not suitable, and she is still a virgin." She gently bumped Yun Yuan's arm, and Yun Yuan nodded shyly.
Lu Renjia swallowed his saliva.
Mother Lu cursed her inwardly as a vixen, then said, "My son is getting married for the first time, and we have certain requirements for our future daughter-in-law. First, she must be virtuous, capable of both housework and the kitchen, and her appearance must be acceptable."
Lu Renjia stared at Yun Yuan, "Mom, I think she's fine."
Wu Chunhua smiled. Yun Yuan had changed a lot now. She had fair skin and a slim figure. There were few people in the village as pretty as her.
Mother Lu glared at Lu Renjia and continued, "Appearance is secondary. You must know how to entertain guests and serve others. Renjia usually leaves home early and comes back late. You have to take care of our lives at home. I manage the finances at home. If you behave well, I can make you a set of clothes every year."
Wu Chunhua frowned. Are people in this town really that stingy? Only one set of clothes a year. Even worse than a young wife in the countryside.
Wu Chunhua's output continues: "You must be able to cook."
Yun Yuan smiled: "My father used to be a chef at a state-owned restaurant."
"Yes." Wu Chunhua said, cooking is Yun Yuan's strong point.
Many people in the village rarely even see meat and don't know how to cook it well, but Yun Yuan is different. Wu Chunhua said: "Yun Yuan cooks delicious dishes and can make all kinds of flavors."
"Empty words are not enough." Mother Lu suddenly took out three eggs from her pocket and said seriously, "Show me how to cook these three eggs. One for egg soup, one for a fried egg, and one for a soft-boiled egg. If you do it well, I'll consider letting you in."
