Chapter 221 The Second Marriage is So Lively
The children pushed Miao Zhaodi out of the way, and she almost fell flat on her face!
Miao Zhaodi was furious and pointed at a group of children, yelling, "You bunch of brats, are you trying to squeeze your way to reincarnation?!"
I've never eaten candy before!
It almost made me fall over!
What kind of person is this? Has no manners whatsoever?!
After I finished cursing, I felt a chill run down my spine...
Looking back, she saw the children's parents staring at her, their faces full of anger!
"Aunt Miao, what are you saying? What's wrong with my children eating some candy? This is wedding candy! Can't we eat it?"
"That's right, how dare you talk about the children? They've already said it's for the children, what are you trying to take?"
"As an elder, you have no shame? I feel embarrassed!"
"Sister Miao, you've really done something terrible! You snatched candy from the children and even scolded them! You have no shame whatsoever!"
Miao Zhaodi was besieged and attacked, and she was furious!
"I...I just wanted to share in the joy!"
"Besides, this was written by me for the Xie family, can't I even eat it?"
"Why are you meddling in my business...?"
Although the words were spoken without any anger, they successfully stirred up a wave of rage!
"Auntie, you've gone too far. As a junior, I really don't want to say anything..."
"Yeah, that's too much!"
"Hate!"
Miao Zhaodi slunk away!
He turned around and glared at her. "You're getting married for the second time, what's there to celebrate?"
snort!
Wang Guihua patted the flour off her hands: "You're back! Come inside and eat!"
Xie Yanli was also helping in the kitchen!
Chen Cheng was playing with his two children in the yard!
When they saw Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe return, they all came out to greet them!
Xie Meili was also there...
Looking at Zhou Ye, he had a hint of excitement on his face!
It's obvious they're waiting for a gift! But they just won't say...
Zhou is hilarious!
Once we got to the courtyard, I called the driver to come in and have dinner with us!
The meal was very plentiful, at least by village standards!
Big steamed buns made with a mixture of two types of flour, and a big stew with plenty of pork belly!
I also stewed a big rooster!
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and the driver had left, they began distributing the food in the main room!
"Mom and Dad, these are the New Year's goods we brought back. We'll move them all to the warehouse in a bit!"
Wang Guihua looked at the fruit and took it with a smile: "Okay, Xiao also likes to eat fruit. I'll put it in the warehouse!"
I'll wash it for you to eat in a bit!
"Thank you, Mom!"
"You're welcome, but bringing back so many must have cost you a lot of money!"
Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "It's Chinese New Year! Everyone has to buy things!"
"This is ribbonfish, weighing forty jin! Mom, we'll eat some during the New Year, and a large portion will go towards my eldest sister's wedding banquet!"
"Great! This is the first time I've ever seen ribbonfish like this! It's really rare! Let everyone in the village have a taste and experience this wonder!"
hehe……"
Then they took out canned fruit: peaches, oranges, pineapples, hawthorns...
Next up is canned meat...
There are pork ones, and fish ones...
In addition, he also brought some vegetables, which Zhou Ye obtained from his spatial storage!
"Mom, these are all out-of-season vegetables! Green beans, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, spinach, bok choy..."
I bought enough; it's sufficient!
"And some seaweed from the south..."
"Wow, this is quite a feast..."
Xie Jianshe continued, "Mom, this is what I'm thinking. There will definitely be a lot of gossip in the village about my eldest sister's wedding banquet, so let's make it a grander one this time!"
That really made my older sister look good!
Tomorrow, I'll go to the county town to buy some flour, and then when the date gets closer, I'll buy more pork!
Let's do it well!
"Okay, no problem!"
Wang Guihua has married two daughters, and this is the first time she has felt so happy!
Xie Yanli watched with emotion, holding Zhou Ye's hand: "Xiao Ye, thank you so much for thinking of your elder sister!"
It's so good to have you all!
Your happiness is the best thing!
Zhou Ye also offered her blessings.
The eldest sister and Chen Cheng's wedding is set for the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is an auspicious day for marriage!
The house in the county town is ready, and Chen Cheng has moved in! I heard he's been very busy settling in!
Everything in the house has been packed out, except for two big bags...
Zhou Ye took out a cotton-padded coat and trousers from inside and handed them to Xie Youfu. He then took out a purple down jacket and leather shoes and handed them to Wang Guihua.
"Mom and Dad, I bought this myself! Try it on and see if it suits you."
Xie Youfu just chuckled and took it, grinning from ear to ear!
Wang Guihua happily took the clothes, saying, "Hey, what's the point of spending money? It's just a waste!"
But that hand and those eyes never left her, it was incredibly rare!
Then there's Xie Yanli...
"Big sister, this is just a small token of my appreciation!"
"What?"
Xie Yanli curiously leaned closer!
Zhou Ye took out a bright red woolen coat!
In this day and age, this is a god-like existence.
Something so many people dream of!
Everyone's saying they look drab and drab. If they had a brightly colored outfit like this, they could attract the attention of the whole street!
It can even spread to relatives...
"Oh my god!"
The exclamation came from Xie Meili!
"This...it's so beautiful! Big sister, you're so lucky! I love it so much! Waaah..."
Xie Yanli looked at the clothes in front of her with excitement!
A couple of days ago, Chen Cheng took me shopping for some clothes. I originally wanted to buy a red coat, but I couldn't find such a perfect color!
I could only buy one pink one!
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise!
Oh my god!
"Xiao Ye, thank you so much! This dress is so beautiful! I love it so much, I'll never forget it!"
I'm going to wear this dress to my wedding!
Thank you! "
"You're welcome, I'm glad you like it!"
Zhou Ye was much happier!
Besides the clothes, Zhou Ye also took out a gold bracelet!
"Big sister, this is also a token of our appreciation, a little something to add to your dowry!"
"A gold... gold bracelet!"
Xie Yanli was even more shocked!
This could be passed down as a family heirloom!
Wang Guihua was also shocked and quickly said, "Xiao Ye, Mom knows you sincerely wish your older sister well, but you can't accept this!"
That's too valuable!
You should keep it safe yourself!
Zhou also said with a smile, "Mom, this was specially given to my eldest sister. It's inconvenient to carry it now, so you can hide it well!"
This is a valuable item! It can be used as money!
"It's a token of our appreciation, we can't refuse it!"
Xie Yanli was moved to tears: "Okay... I'll take it!"
Keep the gold bracelet close to your body!
Turning to look at Xie Meili...
Xie Meili pouted and said, "Don't look at me, I can do without it! Humph!"
"Pfft... No way! Forget it then! I didn't buy anything valuable anyway..."
"What? You really didn't buy me anything? Humph! I waited all this time for you to come back!"
I even cooked another dish for lunch!
I killed all the chickens!
You...you..."
"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore! Of course I'll buy it for you, beautiful young lady!"
Zhou also teased her.
Xie Meili immediately laughed: "Then let me see quickly, what did you buy?"
Zhou Ye took out a pink sweater from her pocket; it was the kind of puff-sleeved sweater that female stars in movies wear.
Zhou Ye didn't like it, but it was all the rage now!
They're also very hard to buy!
"Wow... this is for me? Isn't this what someone wore in that movie? It's so pretty, I love it!"
Xie Meili almost jumped up!
Everyone was immersed in joy!
In addition, there is a gray wool coat. Although the color is not very common, it is easy to match with clothes!
Xie Meili was absolutely thrilled!
He hugged Zhou and gave him a kiss!
"Sister-in-law, I love you! I love you so much! Mwah..."
Xie Jianshe pulled her away, rescuing Zhou Ye!
Zhou Ye was finally able to breathe smoothly!
What Zhou didn't know was that outside the courtyard wall, a figure listened to the sounds inside the house, smiled, and quietly left!
Upon hearing the news, the Song family's twins ran back home!
"Third Sister-in-law, hurry! Zhou Ye, the educated youth from the village chief's family, is back! Third Sister-in-law, your friend is back!"
"What? Really?"
Huang Ying was cracking sunflower seeds when she almost choked on them in her excitement!
"Really, really, I saw it with my own eyes! They even gave me a candy! Hehe... but I ate it!"
"That's wonderful!"
"By the way, Third Sister-in-law, Eldest Sister's husband has come twice. Is Eldest Sister going home for the New Year?"
"Go back? This is her home! If he wants your older sister to go back, we'll see how sincere he is!"
You don't need to worry about it!
"Okay... I'm going to play with my nephew then..."
"Hmm...Go ahead! Don't bully the kids!"
"Mmm!"
Huang Ying tidied herself up, told her family, and ran out!
Bai Xue returned to the educated youth settlement and was kneading dough when there was another knock on the door!
"who?"
Bai Xue asked warily.
"It's me!"
Bai Xue frowned!
It's Deng Jie again, like a persistent, annoying leech! So irritating!
"Are you ever going to stop? What do you mean?"
Bai Xue opened the door, her face full of unhappiness!
Deng Jie sighed: "Why do you still not like me? I told you I really like you!"
You have no relatives here either!
Aren't you lonely, being a young woman like you?
I cook for myself and eat for myself!
Besides, I already said I won't disturb your life, I just want to keep you company! Is that not even allowed?
"Ha...keep me company? Are you crazy? Or am I crazy? What do you have? I have money, I have food!"
"Aren't you just trying to take advantage of me by keeping me company?"
Deng Jie took a deep breath: "I can chop wood, I can carry water... these are all physical jobs!"
Besides, I was ostracized in the entire educated youth settlement, and you were isolated too! Wouldn't it be better if we stuck together for warmth?
You didn't know, did you? Your old friend Zhou is back!
Did they even acknowledge you?
Don't even think about being friends with them!
My reputation is bad, and yours isn't either! We're just keeping each other company!
Don't overthink it!
Bai Xue warned Deng Jie: "I'm warning you again, if you come looking for me again, I'll beat you to death!"
He was about to close the door!
But Deng Jie stopped her: "Bai Xue, can't you just treat me like your older brother?"
"no!"
Deng Jie said speechlessly, "If you keep going like this, you'll get sick sooner or later! If the two of us are together, we'll have each other's company."
The villagers won't bully you easily!
Isn't that right?
It will only benefit you, and not harm you!
Bai Xue remained expressionless, and Deng Jie stepped forward, saying, "I promise, I have no improper thoughts about you!"
I know what you're trying to say.
I only ever saw you as a younger sister!
I promise I will take good care of you from now on!
Look at my work points, I have a lot of them every year, and most of them are full! Together, it's only beneficial for us, there's no harm in it!
We don't even know how long we'll be in the countryside. Are you really planning to go alone?
Bai Xue looked at Deng Jie. Ever since she parted ways with Zhou Ye, she had become much quieter...
But……
This doesn't mean I'm someone who's easy to bully!
The door slammed shut with a crisp snap!
Deng Jie screamed in agony!
My hand got caught hard in the door!
"Ah... Bai Xue, don't push your luck!"
"Serves you right!"
Bai Xue cursed from inside the house!
The Lunar New Year is almost here! Next year should be a good year!
Deng Jie called out for a long time... but there was no response from the people inside. He knew there was no hope...
This snow is really a tough nut to crack!
I've tried everything, good and bad, but it's no use!
The Xie family made many preparations; they even put up couplets and hung red cloth in the courtyard, creating a joyous atmosphere.
The wedding is in two days!
The Xie family is very generous; they're starting to cook communal meals today!
"Have you heard? The Xie family can come over for a feast today! I heard Xie Jianshe bought several bags of cornmeal!"
There's also wheat flour...
You'll have plenty to eat these next few days!
My goodness, that's a huge investment!
"What's this? You don't know, do you? Xie Jianshe bought twenty catties of pork and twenty catties of big bones!"
They said they were going to make us bone broth!
I also need to make pork slice noodle soup!
Goodness... and then there's the steamed bun...
It was absolutely delicious!
I absolutely must go eat today!
"I'm not sure if I can take it with me. There are a lot of people in my family, so it's not appropriate for the whole family to go. How about I bring the pot with me?"
"You wish! Why don't you bring your family's earthenware jar over there? Everyone wants to eat there, for the festive sake!"
The Xie family is indeed generous...
Two large pots for slaughtering pigs were set up in the yard, filled with radishes, cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, and huge slices of pork belly...
The old women in the village are cutting the noodles!
Two large pots, and it's not the thin kind, but thick and viscous, you can almost scoop up meat with every spoonful!
The villagers arrived early and were very envious! As a result, a situation similar to that of refugees was created.
Everyone held a bowl and waited in front of the big pot!
"This food smells delicious! Look, there's a lot of wheat flour in these noodles, so it'll be easy to digest!"
"Really? I was there when they were kneading the dough. Oh my god, so much flour was poured out, it broke my heart!"
How long can we eat these noodles at home?!
It's too thin..."
"Look how much you care about this! You probably would never be willing to let everyone eat this well in your entire life!"
"Of course! You'd be willing to give up one!"
Seeing everyone celebrating for her, Xie Yanli suddenly felt that she might really be finding happiness this time!
"Mom...the food smells good..."
"Okay, Mom will scoop some out for you when it's cooked..."
The courtyard was filled with tables, all of which were brought over voluntarily by the villagers!
The courtyard was full of people, and the atmosphere was very lively!
But then an unexpected person appeared!
Zhou Tao!
Zhou Tao glared menacingly at the people in the yard, as well as Xie Yanli, who was taking care of the two children!
"You...you're getting married?"
Zhou Tao at this time was no longer the smartly dressed and capable person she used to be! She was dressed sloppily, and her hair looked like it hadn't been washed for days!
Most people recognized Zhou Tao and spontaneously protected Xie Yanli behind them.
"Hey, what are you doing! We're eating!"
"Yeah, it's so annoying! What are you trying to do? What are you going to do first?"
"Tell me honestly, what are you planning to do?"
Zhou Tao looked at Xie Yanli dressed up, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, as if he wasn't the one who had betrayed him back then.
Xie Yanli looks like she's doing very well!
The clothes are new, and the hair is a new hairstyle...
Even the two children were dressed in brand new clothes!
They've all grown quite a bit taller!
Are you doing so well without me?
But look at me, I'm living like a dog!
Seeing such a disparity, Zhou Tao was extremely saddened!
"Waaah... Yanli, please don't get married, okay? Let's get back together, okay? I really can't live without you!"
You have no idea what the family has become without you!
Waaah...
So beautiful…
"I really miss you! I really know I was wrong, please, come back with me! Waaah..."
Seeing Zhou Tao's frustrated expression, Xie Yanli felt a surge of satisfaction!
But she knew that Zhou Tao definitely wasn't wrong!
Instead, he wanted to go back to the comfortable life he used to have!
With my own care, I don't need to worry about the children, my parents, or money...
Everything has its own...
But it was too late!
When I offer my true feelings, you look down on me!
Now... I'm just as disdainful!
Get out!
"I'm getting married soon! My husband treats me very well! Get out! Don't dirty my place!"
Xie Yanli shouted angrily!
Zhou Tao cried even louder...
"Yanli, I really know I was wrong. A stepfather is never as good as a biological father, right?"
I have reformed!
I will be a good father! Are you even going to deprive your child of the right to see their own father?
Even the best stepfather is still a stepfather!
You'll have your own children in the future, do you think you'll still treat DouDou and Diandian well?
Don't be silly!
No one is ever nice to another person's child!
Yanli, believe me, I really have changed!
I like you, and I still like being with you!
Okay?
Let's overlap!
The New Year is almost here, Yanli, I miss you!
Wang Guihua was busy in the kitchen when she heard these words. She immediately picked up a broom and started hitting him, yelling, "Get out of here!"
Stop trying to disgust us!
If you utter another word today, I'll beat you to death! You beast!
They're not doing well themselves, and they don't want us to be either!
brute!
I'll beat you to death!
"Yanli, what are you standing there for?"
Xie Yanli was startled, grabbed a carrying pole from the side, and chased after Zhou Tao to hit him!
"Ah...ah...help! They're going to kill me!"
"I'm beating you up today!"
Zhou Tao, having been beaten to a standstill, quickly ran away...
Xie Yanli called out to everyone, "Uncles...Aunties...don't mind them! Let's eat!"
"Yes...yes...everyone, let's eat!"
Soon after, the educated youth arrived...
Although some educated youth received subsidies from their families, they were still struggling financially!
Especially for girls, they get fewer work points...
If it's good to have a nice meal, everyone will come!
That's not...
Deng Jie then appeared in everyone's sight!
Why is he here?
Xie Yanli stood next to Zhou Ye...muttering to herself...
"Shameless!"
Xie Yanli thought to herself: That's shameless! Absolutely shameless!
Deng Jie was shameless; regardless of what others thought, he brazenly ate two large bowls before leaving! He even tried to take one bowl with him when he left, but someone scolded him and drove him away!
Chen Lan leaned closer to Zhou Ye and said, "Do you know what? Deng Jie is pestering Bai Xue now! He goes to bother her every day."
It's so annoying!
Zhou Ye's eyes flickered!
Snow?
"Just a couple of days ago she said she wanted to move into the house next to Bai Xue's and wanted Bai Xue to pay for it. She's shameless!"
He also said that he and Bai Xue were both isolated and wanted to eat together!
Bai Xue has scolded him several times already!
"Oh!" Zhou Ye didn't seem interested at all!
The Xie family is providing two meals today, and three meals tomorrow...
Until the wedding banquet on the third day!
The villagers were overjoyed!
As long as the Xie family produces genuine products!
Put in plenty of meat, and it'll be so fragrant and juicy!
On the wedding day, Zhou also prepared a lot of candy for Xie Yanli, and several female educated youths served as bridesmaids, accompanying Xie Yanli to the wedding!
I'll come back on my own then!
So Zhou Ye also filled the pockets of the educated youth with lots of candy!
The trumpets were playing, creating a very lively atmosphere...
Today's banquet is a real treat for the Xie family, with the ribbonfish being a unique offering!
Some families have never even seen one before...
Ribbonfish, pork noodles with vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and even cucumbers in the dead of winter...
There's also a green vegetable dish!
…………
There were a total of eight dishes, including meat and vegetables, and three soups! Especially the egg drop soup, one spoonful was all egg drop soup...
It makes people drool.
Almost everyone in the village came...
In the twelfth lunar month, there were many children, and it was almost Chinese New Year. The Xie family was generous, and Zhou Ye and the other sisters in the Xie family were responsible for throwing candy to everyone...
Not to mention the children, even the adults had several pieces of candy hidden in their pockets.
Some poor families don't even need to buy candy for the New Year!
After all, life was tough in the past, and every year we would buy the children a few treats.
Miao Zhaodi felt terrible watching this. Touching the dozen or so candies in her pocket, she was so angry her teeth itched. The Xie family's life was getting better and better.
Ever since he married Zhou Ye, a sent-down youth from Beijing, his whole family has risen to prominence!
After her divorce, Xie Yanli married someone in the provincial capital and got a government job!
The second marriage has become incredibly successful!
I can't even imagine it!
I wouldn't even dare to do this for my own child's first wedding!
This is infuriating! It's infuriating!
Why should I?
And this candy, they're treating it like it's free! This is candy! What kind of life do they live, not even caring about a little candy!
That week, he was carrying a large bag of candy, which looked to weigh dozens of pounds!
This is a big investment!
Now that's great! After this wedding, no one else will need to buy candy! They'll all be eating wedding candy!
When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, everyone will surely praise Elder Xie!
This is infuriating!
And the fish on the table... long, spiky, what's it called... a ribbonfish? I've never seen one before!
How dare they put it at a banquet!
It would be so nice to share it with relatives during the Chinese New Year!
As a result, I only managed to grab one piece.
Few thorns, lots of meat! Delicious!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
