Chapter 79 The Little Scoundrel's Dark Moonlight Educated Youth 14
The news that Shen Xinran and Wei Ping'an were together and were planning to get married spread throughout the village at the fastest speed.
The next day at work, the short-haired woman walked straight to Shen Xinran, ignoring Zhao Ming standing aside, and asked, "Are you really together with Wei Ping'an?"
Shen Xinran smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The short-haired lady widened her eyes in surprise, a look of disbelief on her face, "What do you like about him?"
Shen Xinran's eyes curved, "He's handsome."
Short-haired aunt: "..."
Are girls in the city so short-sighted?
Then could she let her son marry a girl from the city? She wasn't exaggerating, her son was a good worker, much better than Wei Ping'an.
Ever since he and Shen Xinran confirmed their relationship, Wei Pingan no longer needed to hide when he came to the fields to look for Shen Xinran. He walked up to Shen Xinran with a swagger, and when he passed by the short-haired aunt, he smiled and greeted her, "Aunt Chen, good morning!"
The short-haired woman glanced Wei Ping'an up and down and said casually, "Oh, Ping'an is different now that he has a partner. He knows to come to the fields to work."
Wei Pingan waved his hand and said lazily, "Who said I came here to work? I came here to play with Mingzhu."
Hearing Wei Ping'an say this, the short-haired aunt pursed her lips in disdain. She really didn't know why Li Mingzhu fell for such a lazy guy!
Wei Ping'an didn't seem to notice the short-haired aunt's disdain. He walked directly to Shen Xinran and said with a smile: "Mingzhu, the weather is nice today, let's go to the town to play!"
Shen Xinran frowned slightly, "But I still have to go to work."
Wei Pingan grinned, revealing his standard eight white teeth, "That's easy, I'll ask for leave for you."
Shen Xinran saw Wei Ping'an swaggering up to Wei Rong. Wei Rong's face flushed with anger, and he pointed at Wei Ping'an's nose and started cursing. Shen Xinran could hear Wei Rong's cursing even from two acres away.
About ten minutes later, Wei Ping'an came back with a smile on his face, "Okay, my dad agreed."
Shen Xinran: “…”
It turns out that asking for leave for her means getting scolded for her.
But it must be said that Wei Ping'an's way of asking for leave deeply touched Shen Xinran's heart, because she really didn't want to go to work.
When the two of them walked to the entrance of the village, Shen Xinran discovered a very serious problem: they had no car!
Chen Xinran looked at Wei Ping'an beside him with hesitation, "Do we really have to walk from here to town? It will take most of the day to go back and forth!"
Wei Pingan frowned and thought for a long time, "It's okay, if you really can't walk anymore, I can carry you."
After hearing Wei Ping'an's promise, Shen Xinran finally felt relieved. "Okay, let's go!"
After walking for about half an hour, Shen Xinran suddenly realized that Wei Pingan had been secretly looking at her. When Shen Xinran looked over, Wei Pingan quickly looked away.
Just when Shen Xinran thought Wei Ping'an was going to do something earth-shattering, Wei Ping'an walked up to her calmly and quietly took her hand.
Wei Ping'an's hands were big and warm, wrapping her hands completely in them. Shen Xinran was suddenly stunned.
Wei Pingan raised his chin and said, "We are a couple now, so holding hands is not too much!"
Shen Xinran noticed that after Wei Ping finished saying this sentence on time, a blush appeared on his fair face.
She smiled and nodded, "Not too much."
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering a blanket of golden confetti. Holding hands, they walked across the confetti, feeling a strange kind of beauty. Time passed even faster than they had imagined.
When they arrived in town, the first place Wei Ping'an took Shen Xinran to was the supply and marketing cooperative. He waved his hand generously, "Take whatever you want to eat, it's my treat!"
Shen Xinran raised an eyebrow, "You have money?"
As far as she knew, Wu Chunhua and Wei Rong didn't seem like the kind of people who would give Wei Ping'an pocket money.
Wei Pingan chuckled, "Don't worry about that."
Shen Xinran nodded and chose a pound of peach cakes and a box of mung bean cakes. She had already prepared to pay for Wei Ping'an if he had no money.
But what surprised her was that Wei Ping'an actually had money, and he readily gave the money and tickets to the salesperson.
When leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Wei Ping'an accidentally glanced and saw a bicycle.
Shen Xinran looked at Wei Ping'an standing there motionless. She followed Wei Ping'an's gaze and saw a black Phoenix brand bicycle standing in the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wei Pingan clenched his fists and said seriously, "When I have money, I will definitely buy a bicycle."
But not long after, Wei Pingan began to frown again, "Money alone is not enough, you also need tickets."
Hearing Wei Ping'an say this, Shen Xinran's eyes flashed. Because when she went to the countryside, Mingzhu's mother actually gave her a bicycle ticket, which seemed to be valid throughout the country.
As for money, she seemed to have more than 200 yuan left, enough for a bicycle. But she was not ready to tell Wei Pingan about all this yet.
Wei Pingan quickly recovered himself. He turned around and smiled at Shen Xinran, "It's almost noon. I'll treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant!"
Shen Xinran was already surprised that Wei Ping'an had money for snacks, but she was even more surprised that he had money for food. She asked again, "Where did you get so much money?"
Wei Ping'an smiled complacently and said nothing.
…
Wei Rong and Wu Chunhua have three sons, the eldest is Wei Pingsheng and the second is Wei Pingming.
Wei Pingsheng knows a little about carpentry. In addition to his daily work, he often goes out to take on some carpentry work to supplement his family income.
Of course, all this was done in private.
Wei Pingsheng recently took on a job as a carpenter, helping someone build a wedding bed. According to custom, the owner should pay him two yuan for his work.
But because he did a good job, the owner gave him an extra red envelope of two cents when he left.
Wu Chunhua controlled the Wei family's finances, and when Wei Pingsheng returned home, he took the initiative to give Wu Chunhua 1.5 yuan. When he returned to his room, his wife began to search his clothes and took away the remaining 50 cents.
After a week of hard work, Wei Pingsheng was left with only two dimes hidden under his shoe. But even with these two dimes, he was content.
He quietly slipped into the backyard and dug out his own little safe under a tree, but the moment he opened the box, he was stunned.
Where's his money!
It was twenty-five dollars and eighty-seven cents that he had saved for nearly ten years!
Wu Chunhua's voice suddenly came from the front yard, "Pingsheng, help me turn the soil in my private plot later."
Wei Pingsheng paused for a moment, quickly put two cents into the box, and then buried the box in another place.
Wei Pingsheng returned to the front yard and everyone looked like a suspect.
Wei Pingsheng first looked at Wu Chunhua, who was stoking the fire in the kitchen. Could it be that his mother had taken his little treasury? But his mother disliked the mess in the backyard and hated going there the most.
Wei Pingsheng looked at Mrs. Wei who was picking vegetables in the corner. Could it be that his wife had taken away his little piggy bank?
But if his wife found out that he had a secret stash of funds, she would definitely be furious. How could she be there smiling and picking vegetables?
That's his dad!
But as far as he knew, his father had more private money than him, so he wouldn't be so jealous of his twenty dollars!
Wei Pingsheng was so anxious that tears were about to come out. Who took his little treasury? Return it to him quickly!
