Chapter 47



"The oxcart is only this big, and it has to carry people and things back. The money you pay on the cart is the round-trip fare.

You can take one more person with you, but you have to walk back by yourself. "

Chen Dasheng spat out the straw from his mouth and sat down on the ox cart.

"Hurry up, make your own decision, sit down if you want, and we can leave if you sit down."

"Sit!" Three people hurried up and squeezed onto the bicycle frame.

"Three taels for one trip, five taels for a round trip. Meet under the big willow tree at the post office entrance at 2:30 pm. Wait after the time."

Chen Dasheng received car money from Cui Hongying. What's interesting is that Zhou Rongrong, Wang Qiaoyun and Wang Ping all gave five cents.

"Why, you're going to pay five bucks for one trip? That's fine, the conditions for educated youth are good, and the fare is higher than others."

Chen Dasheng sneered, took the money handed over by the three people, turned around and drove the ox cart.

Zhou Rongrong and the other two looked very unhappy, very unhappy. After walking for three and a half hours, no one was willing to walk back.

Although riding in a bullock cart is not very comfortable, it is better than walking back.

The three of them, who had been hanging out together like good friends, suddenly had a quarrel over who would ride the ox cart when they got home.

In the end, Shen Shili paid out of his own pocket and gave fifty cents to Wang Qiaoyun.

Wang Qiaoyun agreed to take the oxcart back and walk back by herself, but she asked Zhou Rongrong to bring the things back for her on the oxcart.

The four mothers looked very excited to see the lively meeting, and their faces changed as they turned their eyes to the new female educated youth on the bus.

Finally, it stopped at Lin Weiwan's face. Even though her thick bangs covered her face, her eyebrows, her tall, small and delicate nose, and her petal-like lips were still visible.

Zhao Chunhua immediately showed her eight teeth, "Little comrade, you are a new educated youth, right? How old are you?"

Lin Weiwan was free and sorting out the Shen family's things in the space.

I was too tired last night and did nothing and slept until the next morning.

Looking at the aunt who suddenly spoke to him, Lin Weiwan was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Seventeen."

"Do you have a husband?" Zhao Chunhua looked at the beautiful new educated youth with shining eyes, and in her mind she calculated that there were several families with good conditions in the surrounding villages.

Lin Weiwan raised her head and looked at the middle-aged woman with dark and weathered cheeks.

"What? Auntie, do you want to introduce me to someone?" Lin Weiwan didn't expect that the women in this village were so enthusiastic. They wanted to find a husband for someone even though they knew his name.

"Oh... you educated youth are really smart. Girls are getting older, but they need to find a husband. Auntie, I think you look pretty good, but luckily you have a few good families in your hands, and this good thing will be done."

Zhao Chunhua slapped her thigh with excitement while talking about this. If this works, she can get less money as a matchmaker.

Cui Hongying and Zhou Rongrong understood Zhao Chunhua's intentions and were so angry that they buried their heads in the ground, fearing that they would be entangled by these aunts.

Du Shanshan sat next to Lin Weiwan, dark and thin, conspicuous. No one was safer than her at this moment.

"But I'm not ready to find a husband, thank you, auntie." Lin Weiwan directly declined the kindness of this strange auntie.

"Ah...it's too late for a girl to get married. You are just the right age now. If you wait until you are older, it will be easier for you to find a man."

Zhao Chunhua was shy in front of the girl and started to persuade her directly.

"Why do you want to get married? I'm living a good life on my own." Lin Weiwan could see that the people on the ox cart had some ulterior motives.

"It's not like a girl should get married when she's old enough. It's natural for men and women to get married at a certain age. You can't delay your marriage just because you're going to the countryside. It will be so lively when you get married and live together as a family.

It’s better to have someone to help you with whatever you need than to go through it all alone.”

"Is it okay? Auntie, do you mean I can live well after I get married?"

"That's natural."

"Can I sleep until nine or ten, can I eat meat every day, can I use my laundry to cook and clean? Can I always buy new clothes, just from the supply and marketing cooperative?" Lin Weiwan directly raised his doubts. He looked like a good baby.

Zhao Chunhua was shocked by Lin Weiwan's words. Which daughter-in-law has ever done such a thing? Don't say you look like a fairy. Even if you are a fairy, you still have to work on the farm. Which of the snail girls or the seven fairies is good at working to support the family.

"Girl, it's your aunt who said that it's wrong to find a good family with a big house to live in. Every daughter-in-law has to work in the fields, respect the elders, take care of the children, wash clothes, cook, and clean the house. These are women's natural duties."

Zhao Chunhua spoke with the tone of an elder teaching a younger person, thinking that this pretty educated youth was sensible, but not as capable as her own daughter.

"Auntie, you are sick. Why do you think so? You should go to the city hospital for a check-up. Then I will feel relieved."

Lin Weiwan looked at Zhao Chunhua in surprise.

"Why are you cursing when you are so nice?"

Zhao Chunhua was a little angry when she heard Lin Weiwan say this.

"Auntie, why am I scolding you? I really care about your mind. You said that getting married means living a good life, and then you said that getting married means working in the fields, washing clothes and cooking, serving the parents-in-law, and taking care of the children. Then my life is much easier when I get married than this.

You said I was getting married, but I thought you were going to sell me to someone as a servant. Auntie, you are right. We are now in a socialist society. We, the educated youth, followed the party’s policy and went to the countryside to re-educate the poor and middle peasants, build the countryside, promote rural development, and show our youthful passion to create rural glory.

Auntie, you are destroying the unity of the people by finding servants for them. Ah, auntie, you must be from a landlord family, right? "

As she spoke, Lin Weiwan was afraid and hid beside Du Shanshan.

Du Shanshan was almost trying to hold back her smile, her entire face flushed red.

"What are you talking about? My family is eight times poorer than farmers. How can I introduce you to be a servant?"

Zhao Chunhua was pulled by Lin Weiwan's words and started yelling.

"You didn't introduce me to work as a servant for others, so why did you let your daughter serve others? I am honored to work as an educated youth to support myself, but you let me work as a servant for others for nothing. You are so cruel. Auntie, you should be honest. Don't be so conscienceless as to harm your own daughter instead of picking on other people's daughters.

Although I am an educated youth who went to the countryside, I have no one to rely on in your Dongsheng Village. It does not mean that we educated youth should be bullied by others. You should stop calculating and stop calculating against us. "

Lin Weiwan pretended to be ignorant again, sat up straight, and stared at Zhao Chunhua.

"You little idiot, you are such a fool. I introduced you to someone out of kindness, but in the end you scold me like this."
