Chapter 46 Moving
After buying the items, Gu Yiye got on his motorcycle, and Lin Shanshan sat on the side seat as they headed towards Anfeng Brigade.
When they reached the village entrance, Lin Shanshan took out the television, blankets, and washbasin from her spatial storage and placed them on the motorcycle, thus confirming that they had made their way through the village.
Sidecar motorcycles were the coolest mode of transportation in the 1970s, and the entire Anfeng Brigade only had one.
As Gu Yiye drove into the village, a group of children immediately appeared, shouting and running after the car, yelling curiously, "Look, a big motorcycle, toot toot toot..."
The adults on the road heard the motorcycle, glanced over, and were amazed to see Lin Shanshan carrying a television set. This was the first television set in Anfeng Brigade.
"Lin Zhiqing, was this TV set bought for the educated youth?" someone asked curiously.
Gu Yiye stopped the car, took out some candy and handed it out while saying, "Shanshan and I got married. Please have some candy. This TV was bought for our wedding."
Only then did everyone notice the red blankets, washbasins, and cup sleeves on the car. After taking the candy, they all said, "Congratulations to Gu Yiye and Lin Zhiqing, you are a perfect match."
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan accepted everyone's blessings with beaming smiles, and then drove to the educated youth settlement.
As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, Chen Meili ran out and said, "Shanshan, I heard you got your marriage certificate. I didn't expect that you, the youngest in the educated youth settlement, would be the first to get married."
Gu Yiye said, "There's no way around it, my Shanshan is too good. If I don't bring her home sooner, I'm afraid someone else will have designs on her."
Chen Meili joked, "That's right, brother, you're getting on in years. If you don't get married soon, you'll be an old bachelor."
Lin Shanshan defended her husband: "Brother Gu is only 25 years old, he is in the prime of his life."
Chen Meili clicked her tongue twice and laughed, "Whether he's strong or not, you're not the only one who knows, hehehe."
Lin Shanshan blushed and said, "Meili, you've become naughty."
Seeing the television, blankets, and washbasin on the motorcycle, Chen Meili asked, "Have you bought all your wedding supplies?"
Lin Shanshan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here today to move some things."
Chen Meili said reluctantly, "Sigh, from now on I'll be sleeping alone in the room. Fang Duoduo hasn't come back yet."
Although reluctant, Chen Meili still helped pack Lin Shanshan's bedding, clothes, and some daily necessities.
While packing, Chen Meili gossiped.
"Shanshan, yesterday Gu Yiye's mother, oh no, I mean Aunt Cao, Gu Yong's mother."
Chen Meili immediately changed her tune after realizing that Gu Yiye had separated from the family.
Lin Shanshan asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Chen Meili's eyes sparkled with gossip as she excitedly said, "Aunt Cao went to Yang Wenqing's house yesterday, took a pair of worn-out shoes, and threw them at her door, saying that she was indecent and seduced Uncle Gu."
"She cursed and swore all morning, but then Uncle Yang came out to apologize, weighed out a pound of meat for her, and gave her a bag of flour before Aunt Cao went home."
Chen Meili continued, "Yang Wenqing's reputation in Anfeng Brigade is ruined now, but strangely enough, Huang Daren is still with her. They haven't separated, nor has he moved out of her house."
Chen Meili didn't know the reason, but Lin Shanshan knew perfectly well. Huang Daren knew that Yang Wenqing had a space with so many resources inside. Even if Yang Wenqing kicked him out, Huang Daren, as a sophisticated egoist, couldn't bear to part with it.
Gu Yiye came in but didn't see Zeng Huihuang, so he asked him where he was.
Chen Meili replied, "They must have gone up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots."
Gu Yiye said, "Perfect timing. I'm making braised pork today. When he gets back, have him bring some bamboo shoots, and you can all come to my place for dinner."
Chen Meili beamed with joy at the prospect of getting another free meal, saying, "Okay, I'll definitely go. Do you need any wild vegetables?"
Gu Yiye said, "No need, just bring bamboo shoots."
Lin Shanshan didn't have much stuff, and she packed it up in no time.
Gu Yiye took Lin Shanshan home, feeling incredibly satisfied. From today onwards, he could be with his little wife every moment.
When he got home, Gu Yiye unloaded his things, set up the TV, installed the antenna, and turned it on. A picture appeared on the TV, but there was some static.
But it's still pretty good; at least I can see people clearly, and the sounds are also very clear.
They ate something simple for lunch. Gu Yiye made small wontons, while Lin Shanshan tidied up the things they had moved in and the items they had bought.
She then took out a large red "囍" character from her spatial storage and spread it on the bed. She had secretly bought this on the black market while Gu Yiye was buying books.
