Chapter 18 Agreed
For the next two days, Chen Yi stayed indoors every day.
Even going to the toilet is done at night.
Because the people at the educated youth center deliberately isolated her, it wouldn't be embarrassing this way.
Fortunately, I don’t have to go to work now. If I go out, I will face more attention.
In short, Chen Yi has been thinking a lot these two days.
Early in the morning that day, Fang Xiaoli helped call Li Qinglin over.
Li Qinglin has been very busy these days with the brigade's pig slaughtering.
But Chen Yi’s matter was indeed a trouble. When Fang Xiaoli called him today, he didn’t say anything and just came over.
Seeing him coming, Chen Yi said, "Captain, I'm sorry to ask you to come when you're so busy."
She had also heard about the team slaughtering pigs, so it was great that they could come.
Li Qinglin waved his hand and replied, "It's okay. Just tell me what you want to say. We're going to catch pigs soon."
A lot of people are waiting at the brigade headquarters, but the water has just been boiled, so there is still some time.
Chen Yi pursed her lips, knowing that today's incident was a big deal.
"Captain, I agree to marry Comrade He Mingcheng."
"What?!"
When these words were spoken, Fang Xiaoli on the side was surprised. It was so sudden!
Li Qinglin was better off. He nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, Chengzi is a good young man. You won't suffer any loss."
He knew that these girls from the city had high standards.
And it's only natural that no one wants to stay in this mountain valley.
Fang Xiaoli frowned and went over to pull Chen Yi's hand, "How can you agree? Don't you want to go back to the city?"
Although the current situation is very difficult, returning to the city will be like a rebirth.
What's the good of staying here!
Chen Yi patted her hands and replied, "It's okay. You won't be welcomed back home anyway, and it's the same here. Besides, who can predict what the future will be like? You know the situation of my family. It's not easy."
It's not easy to return to the city.
Fang Xiaoli was silent. If no one helped Chen Yi, returning to the city would be a pipe dream.
She looked at the girl in front of her who was about the same age as her. They were both nineteen years old, a great age, but were about to become someone else's wife.
"It's good that you have made up your mind. If He Mingcheng dares to bully you in the future, I will beat him up!"
Fang Xiaoli spoke viciously, as if He Mingcheng was a bad guy.
"Okay." Chen Yi said with a smile: "From now on you will be my family, you must help me!"
Although she was capable of beating He Mingcheng, she also appreciated Fang Xiaoli's kindness.
When Li Qinglin knew that she agreed to get married, he went to kill the pig first.
Because this matter cannot be delayed, we can discuss their matters in two days.
After seeing the captain off, Chen Yi tidied up the house.
She pulled Fang Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, if someone bullies you in the future, come to me. Although I don't have much ability, I can have someone stand by your side, so you have to take them into consideration when they bully you."
If these people dare to bully others, she will definitely not back down.
She couldn't beat a dozen people, but she could catch one person and beat him to death.
Fang Xiaoli nodded, looking reluctant, "You've only been back for a few days, and you're leaving again. What a shame."
It is not easy for two people to be together. They have to separate again before they can be happy for a few days.
Chen Yi didn't reply. What good thing in life will last forever?
At noon that day, everyone went to the brigade headquarters to eat the pig-slaughtering meal.
Chen Yi also went there, so she couldn't hide from this matter.
What's more, she had greeted the captain, but had not yet told He Mingcheng.
The two of us will have to live together in the future, which makes me sad to think about.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, there were already many people. Everyone brought their own bowls and chopsticks, but there were no bowls and chopsticks here.
Chen Yi sat at a table with the other educated youths, and no one spoke to her except Fang Xiaoli.
She is not a child anymore, so she doesn't care about these things, such as talking or not, and not losing weight.
Glancing around, she saw He Mingcheng, who was helping to carry things.
Today's pig-killing dish is very sumptuous. There are five large basins filled with pork blood sausage, pork bones, and pig offal.
This kind of pig-killing dish is the most delicious. Everyone is looking at the pot, with only the meat in their eyes.
These days, if you want to eat meat, the only option is during the Chinese New Year or other festivals.
Otherwise it’s too difficult.
Some families are even worse off, as the only meat they can eat throughout the year is when they slaughter the New Year pig.
Chen Yi followed and lined up, waiting for the food to be served.
She didn't look before, and only when it was almost her turn did she see that it was He Mingcheng who was serving the food.
Both of them saw each other.
He Mingcheng was obviously a little shy, his ears turned red, and he lowered his head to serve the dishes.
Chen Yi felt a little embarrassed and curious. Why did this person always like to be shy?
When the two of us lived under the same roof before, I never saw him being shy.
Only impatience.
She didn't understand what other people were thinking, so she just stood in line obediently.
It wasn't long before she arrived.
He Mingcheng served her a spoonful of food with more meat and less vegetables. When others saw it, they all looked at them twice.
Chen Yi felt that his behavior was too obvious and not good.
After all, others are all similar, and hers is so much worse.
"Chengzi, you are being biased. You gave them so much meat."
An old man next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
He Mingcheng looked calm and said without raising his head: "I am happy to do so."
"Yes, I am happy to do so!"
"Isn't that Chengzi's wife? You are so envious!"
"Is it your daughter-in-law?"
"Yeah, we live in the same house, but she's still my wife."
The others started discussing in a noisy manner, and some began to speak excessively.
Li Qinglin came out quickly, "What are you doing? Even food can't stop you from eating!"
The others just chatted and laughed and didn't mention it anymore.
Li Qinglin patted He Mingcheng on the shoulder and said, "Go and serve the food. Let others take care of this. Xiao Chen has agreed to get married, so go now."
He said the following sentence in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
He Mingcheng's eyes lit up and he was obviously a little excited.
But he also knew that there were a lot of people here, so he just asked, "Really?"
Seeing him like this, Li Qinglin couldn't help but shook his head, "It's true. But you're easily afraid of your wife if you do this, you have to be more polite."
He intended to bring these two people together from the beginning, otherwise could he have ignored Chen Yi?
Besides, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the educated youth.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yi was given some protection, her situation would probably be even worse.
Being able to do this now means we have it under control.
Besides, he wanted to find a wife for He Mingcheng, and his reputation couldn't be bad.
Now that everyone has agreed, no one will bring up those gossips in the future.
Chen Yi was sitting at the table eating, and everyone around her saw that there was a lot of meat in her bowl.
At one time, there was jealousy, envy, and even disdain.
Anyway, I just look down on her and think that she sells herself just to eat better, and people like her don't need to be looked up to.
