Chapter 347 Finally Know
After a lively meal, the students at the educated youth point each helped Lianyi carry one piece of luggage, and they went to the yard that Zhao Jingcheng had tidied up, chatting and laughing, under the pretext of sending her off for a wedding.
When the group met villagers on the road, they would give them a piece of wedding candy. Children would hang around the group, eating candy and shouting:
"Jingcheng is getting married! They're going to have a baby!"
There was quite a bit of noise along the way, and basically everyone in the village knew about it. Some came to watch the fun, while others didn't care. Lianyi and Zhao Jingcheng became the topic of conversation among the villagers for a while.
Everyone sent Lianyi home and had a cup of hot tea. Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin swiftly helped her pack up her things, then they said goodbye and left, laughing, without delaying the two from getting close.
Zhao Jingcheng was so embarrassed that he sent the educated youth away, then closed the door and returned to the house.
Lianyi felt much more at ease. She called the man into the house and took out a handkerchief from her bosom. When she opened it, there were some small change and various scrolls inside. She then took out a gold bracelet from her bosom and pushed it in front of Zhao Jingcheng.
"These are my expenses before I leave here. You can put them away first. Come back to me if you don't have enough."
Zhao Jingcheng: “That’s enough.” (It feels weird!)
"While it's not snowing these two days, go to town and buy more food. If there is beef or mutton, buy some. It can be stored in cold weather. I'm not used to the cold here. Now that I have the conditions, I can eat three meals a day."
"good."
Zhao Jingcheng nodded in agreement like a little wife.
"Also, you're too thin. Take advantage of this winter to take care of your body and don't be reluctant to eat meat."
"good!"
"Please boil some hot water for me. I want to wash my face and soak my feet."
"good!"
Lianyi said something and the other party responded, they were very obedient.
When it was dark and time to go to bed, Zhao Jingcheng hugged his torn bedding and prepared to go to another room.
"Where are you going?"
Lianyi sat cross-legged on the kang and asked with a frown.
"I'm going to sleep next door!"
“Does that house have a heated bed?”
"without"
"So you want to freeze yourself to death and make me a widow on the first day of my wedding?"
"No, I haven't."
"This kang is too big to accommodate you. Each of you should sleep on one side."
Lianyi patted the kang table on the kang as a dividing line between the two of them.
"Oh! OK."
Zhao Jingcheng responded weakly.
The next day, Lianyi slept in, and when she got up, she had breakfast made by Zhao Jingcheng. It consisted of rice porridge, shredded pickled vegetables, and corn cakes, which were very refreshing. After Lianyi had her fill, she took out her high school physics textbook and began to read it.
Zhao Jingcheng looked at it several times but didn't dare to ask. At this time, someone knocked on the gate of the yard, so he went to open it.
After a while, Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin came into the house.
"Why are you here so early in the morning?"
"The village wanted to take the two black bears to the town. Qian Jianguo said that he was going to the clinic to visit Chen Jiashu and wanted to see if he could be brought back. It would not be a good idea for him to stay there forever.
The village is also in a hurry to deal with the follow-up matters and does not want to delay it until the New Year, as it is considered unlucky. We just came to ask, do you want to go to the town together?"
Wang Xiufen said with a smile.
"It's too cold, I don't want to move, I'm just at home reading and reviewing, but Jingcheng wants to go to town to buy some food, and he's about to go out, you can keep him company."
Ripple said with a smile.
"That's great. It saves me from having to make this trip and trouble Brother Zhao."
After hearing this, Zheng Xin's eyes rolled and she took out a piece of paper from her cotton gloves and handed it to Zhao Jingcheng.
"Brother Zhao, I was going to pick up a package at the post office in town. You're going there too. Could you please bring the things back for me? They're not heavy, just a few books."
"Okay, no problem."
Zhao Jingcheng took the list, put it in his pocket, changed into a thick cotton-padded jacket for going out, put a basket on his back, said hello to Lianyi, and went to the village entrance to meet everyone.
"Lian Yi, you can do it! Zhao Jingcheng listens to you and does what you say, and we all take advantage of you."
Zheng Xin said with a smile.
"Let's live together! Why don't you just go and watch the fun."
"There's nothing interesting to see. It's all about men. Let's hurry up and review! I'm not very familiar with a few math formulas. Can you explain them to me?"
"OK!"
The three of them got together again and began to discuss the problems they encountered during their review.
When the sun set in the afternoon, the villagers returned. Chen Jiashu was placed on a ox cart and taken back to the educated youth site. Zhao Fendou's body was also taken back by a cart hired by his wife. They wailed all the way from the village entrance to their homes.
Zhao Fengshou was also very troubled, but he still arranged for people to comfort the injured villagers, and then began to prepare for the funeral of the three people.
"I don't know if Captain Zhao's family is in bad luck this year. Two people died at once."
The injured villagers who came back together were telling their families about Zhao Fendou.
"Who says it's not true? The poor one is his wife Xiumei."
"She was very powerful. She brought her youngest son to the clinic and made a scene for several days, saying that the clinic had killed her husband with medical treatment. The clinic had no choice but to call the police. Only then did Aunt Xiumei calm down a little.
Although she stopped making trouble, she still insisted that the health center was responsible for Captain Zhao's death and demanded an explanation. Finally, the police mediated and the health center waived Captain Zhao's hospitalization expenses and compensated her with 200 yuan. Only then was the matter settled."
The injured villagers had been in the health center, but they watched the whole process.
"Her husband is gone, and her eldest son who was about to get married is also gone. Now she is left with an orphan and a widow. Naturally, she has to make plans for herself."
"Yes, nothing can make people feel more at ease than having money and food in hand."
Many people in the village were discussing this, and they all planned to go to Zhao Fendou's house tomorrow to help with the funeral.
On the other hand, Chen Jiashu, who returned to the educated youth point, looked very gloomy, making the other male educated youth feel a little depressed.
After Qian Jianguo settled Chen Jiashu, he asked:
"You should have a good rest first. I will go find Zhao Fengshou later. He has temporarily replaced the captain. I will go and get your injury compensation."
"Well, thank you, Brother Qian. I'll treat you to a meal when I can walk with a cane."
Chen Jiashu said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, take care of yourself. I can find a carpenter in the village to make you a pair of crutches."
"Please, Brother Qian."
Chen Jiashu did not refuse this time. Without crutches, he could not get out of bed and could not do anything.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Chen Jiashu met Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin. They brought some things to visit him, but Wu Lianyi was not there.
"Thank you for coming to see me. Where is Wu Zhiqing?"
He asked directly.
"Oh, she's cooking lunch at home, so it's inconvenient for her to come over, so she asked us to bring the sick visit gifts. This pound of pork is what she asked us to bring."
Wang Xiufen said this as she placed a piece of frozen pork on the kang table.
"At home? What do you mean?"
Chen Jianshu keenly grasped the key words.
"Wu Lianyi got married to Zhao Jingcheng from the village, the young man who saved her."
"What?!!"
Thank you for the tip from Tutu! Fengling gives you a heart, thank you for your continued support! See you tomorrow~
