Chu Yan stared blankly at Liu Yin, who was talking to Xiao Xin in front of her.
She seemed no different from when we first met; her skin still looked fair, unlike hers.
Even Lu Shengtai's attitude towards her was incredibly kind, completely unlike when he used to scold her.
Hearing their laughter, Chu Yan felt a mix of emotions.
Xiao Xin and her friend were indeed enthusiastic people. They even secretly asked Liu Yin why she was willing to marry him when Feng Wenyun wasn't around.
In their eyes, Liuyin looked like a delicate girl and might not be able to endure the hardship of working in the fields.
But there's no reason for her to get married so soon.
If I marry someone from here, how will I ever go back?
"I really like his eyes."
Liu Yin answered their questions with a smile, her face full of sweetness.
She reached out and pushed the pastries on the table. "Have some."
Prices were very cheap back then; a single ten-yuan note could buy a lot of things.
When she first saw it, Liuyin was somewhat interested, but after trying it, she felt it was just so-so.
But she had already bought a lot, so she still needed to finish it as soon as possible.
Xiao Xin didn't stand on ceremony. Girls always love sweets more, and with so many people gathered around, she felt embarrassed to take any.
A group of people sat down around a table, which was piled high with food.
Zhang Zhaodi sat next to Chu Yan opposite Liu Yin, her head down and not saying a word.
She seemed to be used to being silent, and at this moment she didn't know what to say.
Because back at home, no matter what she said, she was always criticized, and she gradually got used to it.
Liu Yin pushed a plate of mung bean cakes in front of the two of them, "Have some."
These words interrupted Chu Yan's thoughts. She suddenly looked up, met Liu Yin's gaze, and gave a somewhat awkward smile.
"Um."
Chu Yan casually picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, silently put it in her mouth, and didn't forget to hand one to Zhang Zhaodi.
She had just figured it out. The reason she disliked this woman in front of her before was simply because she thought she was pretty and would steal her thunder.
But she's already preparing for her wedding, and she's marrying a man from the countryside, so she has nothing to worry about.
However, she was indeed somewhat envious.
The pastries in front of them, and the tea that the brigade leader's son had brought earlier, all showed that the Feng family valued Liuyin highly.
Although she could afford these pastries, she wouldn't buy so many at once.
However, Chu Yan would never be willing to marry a country man like Liu Yin.
She actually wanted to go home, or at the very least, marry a former educated youth sent to the countryside, so they could at least have something in common.
Xiao Xin ate the pastry in her hand, looked at Chu Yan's actions, and rolled her eyes in exasperation.
He spoke with righteous indignation in the youth quarters, but dared not say a word in front of others.
Only someone with a personality like Zhang Zhaodi could tolerate her.
She hadn't eaten such pastries in a long time; she had been here for two years, and her money was almost all gone.
Even after her family sent her more money, she couldn't bear to buy those pastries anymore.
It's too expensive; I'd rather buy some meat.
Considering that these were brought out by Liu Yin to entertain guests, Xiao Xin stopped after eating a few pieces.
It's a bit of a pity that Liuyin didn't live in the educated youth compound before, so this was their first conversation, but they got along very well.
When they left, Liuyin asked Feng Wenyun to pack several packages, each containing a variety of pastries.
Everyone took one home.
Whether they came to congratulate her sincerely or not, Liuyin was never stingy when she was happy.
The pastries were bought by her and Feng Wenyun when they went to town.
Originally, they went to look at some furniture for their homes, since Liuyin wanted to decorate her little house nicely.
They also selected some and placed orders in advance.
Although prices were cheap in this era, Liuyin never really had a concept of it.
Of course, the claim that prices are cheap is only true for wealthy people.
Just like the current sound.
After having dinner at the restaurant, Liuyin went straight to the pastry shop.
Although the pastries here didn't seem to suit her taste, Liuyin still bought a lot.
You should try at least one of each kind.
In the month leading up to the wedding, Liang Lan finally grew to like Liu Yin, and her face would light up with a smile whenever she saw her.
She was initially worried when she saw her brother-in-law washing clothes and serving meals for others, thinking that if he married a delicate woman, she would have to serve one more person.
She was already dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's favoritism, and now her resentment had deepened.
But Liuyin gave too much.
Not to mention the many food items she bought in town, she even received several boxes of face cream as a gift.
Those pastries are only eaten during festivals and holidays; even if you buy them, you won't buy so many at once.
As for the face cream, her husband gave her a box of it when they had just gotten married.
That was the first time she used face cream. She was a little reluctant to use it, applying only a tiny bit each day. But after a while, it was all used up.
Later, when her husband tried to buy her another one, she refused with a smile.
Although she said that the thing was not very useful, what girl doesn't love beauty? Liang Lan was no exception.
But the face cream was too expensive for her.
Before marriage, she didn't have the money to buy it, and she never even dared to dream of it; she could only watch others use it with envy.
After marrying her husband, he did have the money to buy it for her, but at this point, Liang Lan just couldn't bear to spend the money.
In the dim candlelight, Liang Lan carefully applied face cream to herself in front of the mirror.
While applying the ointment, Liang Lan couldn't help but think of her brother-in-law.
By this point, even she had to admit that her brother-in-law was incredibly lucky.
Before marriage, he was favored by his mother-in-law and could do nothing every day. When he reached the right age, he found a beautiful and generous wife.
There were so many educated youths, but the younger brother-in-law took a liking to the prettiest one at first glance.
In all her life, Liang Lan had never met anyone as generous as Liu Yin.
She also knew that Liuyin definitely wouldn't have only bought things for her; her parents-in-law must have given her some as well.
The pastries given to her weighed several pounds, some of which she had never even seen before.
At this moment, she also felt that it was not a big deal for her brother-in-law to do laundry and cook for others. He was beautiful and rich, and it was a bit of a grievance for her to marry him.
If he doesn't humble himself and serve her, how can he expect her to agree to marry him?
Thinking of this, Liang Lan took out a pastry from the cupboard and ate a small bite.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, she put the pastries in the cupboard and eats one piece every day.
She wanted to share more with her husband.
He was born the earliest, and back then he didn't have much to eat. Later, he had to support his family, so he was reluctant to spend money.
Liang Lan still felt sorry for her husband.
