Chapter 152 Zhao Meili gets married

After arriving at the small courtyard in the county town, they have to go back to Yaoshui Village.

They didn't spend the New Year at home. Tomorrow, Lu Mingfeng has to go to work again, so the family went back to the old house for a meal.

They also distributed the gifts that the Shen family gave to the Lu family.

Because their daughter went back to celebrate the New Year, the Shen family was happy, and the gifts for the Lu family were also much more abundant.

Shen Jiale didn't see Lu Bailing, and only found out after asking that Zhou Jianghai came back to visit relatives just after they left, and Lu Bailing was called out by Zhou Jianghai to play.

Liang Qiaoli and Lu Yongfu missed their granddaughters very much after not seeing them for many days, and each of them held a granddaughter and teased them at the door.

Chen Daya came over with the child in her arms, and said in a boastful tone: "Our Dachun is pregnant again. The fortune teller said that this baby must be a boy. Is Mingfeng's wife pregnant?"

Liang Qiaoli said disdainfully: "We already have a grandson, so there is no rush."

​​Chen Dachun looked at the plump white child in Liang Qiaoli's arms, and then looked at the skinny child in her own arms, and asked: "Did your family buy milk powder? Two children cost a lot of money."

Liang Qiaoli said impatiently: "No, we feed them with breast milk."

"It's really strange. Our milk is not enough for one child, how can your two children be so fat?"

"How can your Dachun be pregnant with children when she has milk?"

"Because her milk supply is too low, I simply asked her to wean the child. My Dachun is also a good fertile child. Look, she got pregnant right away."

Liang Qiaoli saw Chen Daya started to show off again and went into the house with the child.

Chen Daya followed her into the house uninvited and said that she wanted to ask Shen Jiale what delicious food she usually eats. She would also prepare it for her daughter after returning home. She couldn't let her future grandson go hungry.

Shen Jiale and Zhou Min were choosing vegetables together. Chen Daya came in and boasted again, asking Zhou Min and Shen Jiale to have a second child as soon as possible.

The two sisters-in-law just glanced at her and continued to choose vegetables.

Seeing that the two ignored her, Chen Daya asked them what they usually ate to have so much milk.

Zhou Min said that it was the same as usual, nothing special.

Shen Jiale said the same thing.

Chen Daya felt that the two were just perfunctory. They must have heard that her daughter Dachun was pregnant and were jealous, so they deliberately kept silent.

After Chen Daya left, Zhou Min said, "When I gave birth in the hospital, the doctor said it was best to wait a year and rest before having a second child. Chen Dachun's child is only more than five months old, and the second child is already three months old. She is too impatient."

Liang Qiaoli said, "The worst is her son-in-law. I guess he has gone through a lot of trouble to have a second child. He was thin to begin with, and now he feels shaky when he walks. He has no energy at all."

Hearing that Jiang Haoran was not doing well, Shen Jiale felt better and ate half a bowl more at mealtime.

Lu Mingfeng thought his wife was very hungry on the train, so he gave her another steamed bun.

Shen Jiale shook his head and said he couldn't eat.

After a day of train ride, the family stayed in Yaoshui Village at night. When they were about to close the shop, Zhao Meili came. She

said she was getting married tomorrow and invited Shen Jiale to dinner.

Shen Jiale was surprised and asked, "Who are you getting married to?"

Zhao Meili said shyly, "It's Teacher Fang."

Teacher Fang was a teacher who was transferred later, named Fang Chuanshui.

"When did you two get together? I haven't heard anyone talk about it at all."

"I didn't expect him to ask the village chief to be a matchmaker. We rarely communicate except for work matters."

"I heard from the village chief that Teacher Fang is a serious and responsible person, and he is also good-looking. You and him are quite a match."

...

The next day, Shen Jiale couldn't go back with Lu Mingfeng because they had to attend Zhao Meili's wedding.

Zhao Meili invited the educated youth, the village chief and his wife, and the widow Hua.

Jiang Haoran was also invited.

Zhao Meili actually didn't want to invite him, and that underwear-stealing Yang Zhixiong.

However, Teacher Fang didn't know about this and said that they were all educated youth, so they were invited together to make it more lively.

The wedding was very simple, with two tables of people in total. Teacher Fang's parents and brothers and sisters came to his house.

There was no talk of a dowry, because Teacher Fang gave all his salary to Zhao Meili.

Although the wedding was hasty, Shen Jiale could see that Teacher Fang's eyes were full of Zhao Meili.

During the meal, Shen Jiale found that the female educated youth did not drink, only Li Mei poured wine for him and toasted the newlyweds.

"I wish you a happy marriage and everlasting happiness."

"Love each other and

live together forever." "May you have a happy marriage and a son soon."

Li Mei smiled and toasted the newlyweds three times in a row.

Han Fei said, "Li Mei, I didn't know you could drink so much. I'll drink two glasses with you."

Li Mei just sat down to eat and didn't agree.

Shen Jiale felt that Li Mei was a little abnormal today, and looked at Zhao Meili, who just smiled.

After the banquet, Shen Jiale went to Zhao Meili's new house and talked about Li Mei's abnormal behavior today, asking Zhao Meili if she noticed it.

Zhao Meili smiled and said, "You don't go back to the village often, so you don't know. When Teacher Fang first came, Li Mei fell in love with him and confessed to him, but was rejected."

"So that's how it is."

"When he first came, all the unmarried girls in the village secretly looked at him, but he ignored all other women except students' parents.

The village chief said he would introduce me to someone, and I was surprised to hear it was him. I told him that he was not interested in women and it was not worth wasting his time.

The village chief said that he had asked him to be a matchmaker.

I later talked to him alone, and he said that he fell in love with me when he first came, so he kept his distance from other girls."

Shen Jiale praised: "He is loyal in love and worthy of your lifelong trust."

Zhao Meili smiled and asked: "How is the situation in Beijing when you return this time? I heard that some communes are arranging for the return of educated youth to the city. What are your plans?"

"I'm married and can go back to visit my parents. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. Do you want to go back to the city?"

Hearing what Shen Jiale said, Zhao Meili said that she was not going back to the city either.

Shen Jiale said: "Compared to the hustle and bustle of the big city, the quiet small mountain village does not have so many intrigues, and the folk customs are simple

. As long as you don't have too high demands, life is also quite easy." Zhao Meili said: "Yaoshui Village is indeed a good place. The female educated youth from the neighboring village have all married people from the village, but none of them are willing.

The male educated youth who returned to the city also abandoned their wives and children in the village.

This time, I wonder who is the lucky one in Yaoshui Village and can get the quota to return to the city?"

Shen Jiale said: "It's too tiring to think so much. Just live your own life. I wish you happiness."

...

Jiang Haoran went home after the banquet and lay on the bed without saying a word.

Chen Dachun picked up the pillow and threw it at him: "Why, do you feel sad when you see the person you once liked getting married?"

"Don't talk nonsense, she and I were just ordinary friends before, I was thinking about the return of the educated youth to the city this time."

Chen Dachun said angrily: "I'm pregnant now, but you are thinking about returning to the city. Don't talk about taking us over after returning to the city. Go and ask around, is there any educated youth who took his wife and children over after returning to the city?"

Jiang Haoran explained: "I'm different from them. I will never abandon my wife and daughter."

Chen Dachun snorted, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and pointed his finger at Jiang Haoran's head and said: "Jiang Haoran, listen to me, if you dare to return to the city, I will break your legs!"
