Just as Mo Yuan stepped out, Lin Xue, having changed her clothes, arrived at the nearby educated youth settlement.
Even with the help of two young wives, she was given beautiful makeup.
While helping Lin Xue with her makeup, the two young women couldn't help but admire the cosmetics in front of her.
Although it only contains a few simple items, it's all that's available in the entire Xiangcheng County.
One of them looked at Lin Xue with envy and couldn't help but praise her: "You are a city girl after all. Although you have been somewhat overlooked in the countryside in recent years, after this makeover, your fresh and beautiful appearance is different from our local farm girls! With this makeup, you could easily be mistaken for a city lady. Even the county magistrate's daughter can't compare to you!"
Another chimed in, "Lin, the educated youth, is originally from Shanghai. They say southern women are made of water, so they're different from us northern women, aren't they? So pretty! And these cosmetics, these things must be hard to buy, so expensive! Lin, you're willing to buy them, but I'd be heartbroken if it were me!"
Lin Xue could only lower her head and explain, "Yes, it is a bit expensive. I also feel bad about spending the money, but Mo Yuan insisted on buying it... I couldn't stop him!"
The young woman next to her immediately said, "Oh my, isn't it because Mo Yuan dotes on you? Lin Zhiqing, you're really lucky. Even though you haven't returned to the city, your life here won't be any worse than in the city. Especially that kid Mo Yuan, who wouldn't be confused by his looks? He used to have a bad reputation, but since he's been with you, Lin Zhiqing, he's completely changed. So I'm telling you, Lin Zhiqing, you're really lucky! Why don't I have such good fortune? If someone bought me all these things, I'd sleep with him for a night!"
"What are you saying, you slut? Lin Zhiqing is still a young woman, and you say all sorts of things! Look how embarrassed Lin Zhiqing is, her face is all red."
"Oh, what's the big deal? Mo Yuan is coming to pick up the bride soon, so it won't be tonight. In the countryside, this kind of talk doesn't matter. Lin Zhiqing, you should get used to it in advance, hehe."
Mo Yuan, tonight...
Lin Xue suddenly felt her face getting hot.
…………
While things were bustling and lively at the educated youth settlement, things were also joyful on the other side.
Mo Yuan said he was riding a bicycle, but it would be more accurate to say he was pushing a bicycle.
After all, he was followed by Gouzi and a group of young people, all of whom were there to pick up the bride.
They didn't have bicycles, so they rode off in a flash, leaving the people behind them unable to keep up!
Besides, Lin Xue is only at the east end of the village, not that far away. Walking slowly will also have a sense of ceremony, and you can receive blessings from the villagers along the way.
Let's hear everyone's joyful words. After all, it's a happy occasion, so it should be lively and festive!
The dog was also very observant; it would offer cigarettes and wedding candy to anyone it encountered.
Let everyone in the village share in the joy.
You can't hit someone who's smiling, even though you know Mo Yuan has a history of petty theft and other bad deeds.
But recently he seems to have truly reformed, especially since he's getting married today.
If there's no deep-seated hatred, people will naturally offer their blessings. Even if someone genuinely dislikes Mo Yuan, they'll at most stay home and not go out.
That's how it is in the countryside. If you offend someone during a wedding or funeral, it can become a feud spanning generations.
This is unlike any ordinary bump or stumble.
Therefore, Mo Yuan's journey was smooth, and with the blessing of wedding cigarettes and candies, he arrived at the entrance of the educated youth settlement amidst a chorus of well wishes!
The dog shouted at the top of its lungs, "Sister-in-law, we've come to pick you up, let's go home!"
It was incredibly lively for a while, but although Lin Xue had no relatives or friends there, she was all alone.
But at this time, there were quite a few women in the educated youth settlements who acted as their "family members."
Especially in the courtyard, a group of children blocked Mo Yuan and his friends outside the gate.
"Let's grab the wedding candy! Let's grab the wedding candy!"
"No wedding candy, no entry!"
Mo Yuan waved his hand, and Gouzi immediately led several of his brothers to deal with the situation.
Each child received two candies, one fruit candy and one White Rabbit milk candy.
They immediately sent the group of children away.
They all scattered, clutching their candy, and ran to a large millstone on the other side to regroup.
They started exchanging the candies they had, and some children couldn't wait to pop a fruit candy into their mouths.
I carefully put the candy wrapper into my pocket, intending to keep it as a souvenir.
After dealing with the children and sending away the old women who had come to watch the commotion, Mo Yuan finally stepped into the courtyard of the educated youth settlement. However, before he could even enter Lin Xue's room...
There is still one obstacle.
Led by the two daughters-in-law of the former Party Secretary Mo Youxian, several young women in the house immediately stood in the doorway, chattering and preventing Mo Yuan from entering so easily.
Previously, Mo Yuan and the old Party Secretary were worried that Lin Xue's place would be deserted and make her uncomfortable, so they made special arrangements for this.
This hurdle won't be so easy to overcome; wedding candy alone definitely won't suffice!
"Mo Yuan, pay up! We can't let Lin Zhiqing go with you so easily today without a red envelope!"
"Pay up, pay up!"
For a moment, a group of young married women were making a lot of noise, which was quite a sight to behold.
Mo Yuan had prepared in advance, and had specially wrapped the bills in red paper, including one-cent, two-cent, and five-cent notes.
I specifically asked Sister Ma from the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange some of the items for newer ones that look better.
The dog immediately went up to each of them, calling them "sister-in-law" this and "sister-in-law" that, and gave them two each.
As for the amount, that's up to fate.
It's just for the sake of celebration, and no one will fuss over it.
Moreover, this is already considered a large-scale investment by Mo Yuan.
In the past, when people got married in the village, even a penny or two was considered a lot, and everyone would give a few cents as a wedding gift.
Therefore, everyone was quite satisfied and made way for them.
Some people even expressed admiration for the attentive dog.
"Doggy, not bad. Your sister-in-law just likes you because you're clever. So, your brother's already married, you'll be soon, right? I have a younger sister on my family who's about your age and pretty too. Want me to introduce you to her?"
"Hahaha!" The dog blushed bright red.
Mo Yuan entered the room smoothly, and the first thing he saw was Lin Xue sitting upright on the edge of the bed.
This was also the first time he had seen Lin Xue dressed formally.
For a moment, I was also stunned by her bright and beautiful appearance.
Back in the production team, we worked all day long. Although we were well taken care of, especially the female educated youth, we weren't assigned any heavy or rough work.
However, living in the countryside, there weren't many opportunities for dressing up. People mostly just thought Lin Xue had striking features, a great figure, and a good temperament; after all, she was an educated person.
But to say she was particularly refined would be a bit of an exaggeration, considering she didn't dress up much.
But it must be admitted that Lin Xue has a good foundation.
Now, with new clothes and exquisite makeup, she looks like a fairy.
Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment.
This is so beautiful!
