Duan Nianzhen angrily ran out of the educated youth settlement and unexpectedly ran into Zhai Qiaoyun and Li Hongwei at the village entrance.
This was the first time Duan Nianzhen had met her since Zhai Qiaoyun got married. Although it had only been a few days since they last met, she seemed like a completely different person.
"Qiaoyun, what are you doing?"
"It's Nianzhen! I hadn't noticed her yet. Let's go to the commune!"
Zhai Qiaoyun managed a weak smile. Actually, she had seen Duan Nianzhen long ago, but she didn't want to talk to her, so she kept quiet. She didn't expect that this person would come up to her on her own.
"Perfect timing! I'm also going to the commune. Let's travel together and have a chat!"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhai Qiaoyun's smile was somewhat forced. Li Hongwei, standing beside her, glanced at her, then looked at Duan Nianzhen with a grin and asked:
"Duan, is it true that Jiang, the educated youth from your settlement, bought a bicycle?"
Mentioning Jiang Xile fills Duan Nianzhen with resentment.
"Yeah, buying a bicycle isn't such a big deal, they act all high and mighty!"
"Really? Jiang Zhiqing seems like a nice person to me, could it be!"
Li Hongwei stroked his chin, subtly inquiring about Jiang Xile's affairs.
He initially thought he was quite happy to have Zhai Qiaoyun as his wife.
But ever since he heard that Jiang Xile had actually bought a bicycle as part of her dowry that morning, he had felt a little uneasy.
Although he was wary of Jiang Xile's skills, it didn't stop him from fantasizing. Besides, fortunes change, and who knows, maybe one day his dream will come true!
"Don't even mention it! That person is incredibly stingy. I wanted to borrow her bicycle, but not only did she refuse, she also made sarcastic remarks. Isn't that going too far?!"
Duan Nianzhen vented her frustrations to Li Hongwei and Zhai Qiaoyun, pouring out all her jealousy towards Jiang Xile.
Looking at Duan Nianzhen's current appearance, Zhai Qiaoyun was instantly reminded of her own past.
If I hadn't been jealous of Jiang Xile, I wouldn't have teamed up with Li Hongwei, and I wouldn't be in this predicament now.
“Nianzhen, bicycles are so precious, it’s only natural that Jiang Zhiqing wouldn’t want to lend it to you. Don’t worry about it too much.”
"What? She's just stingy. Qiaoyun, you didn't like her before either, so why are you speaking up for her now?"
"The past is the past. Now that I'm married, I just feel it's unnecessary! It's better to avoid trouble!"
Duan Nianzhen was unwilling, but considering Li Hongwei standing beside her, she didn't say anything more.
"Okay, I got it. Let's not talk about her then. What are you going to the commune for?"
"us..."
Zhai Qiaoyun sighed inwardly, not wanting to bring up the matter, but Li Hongwei made no attempt to hide anything.
“Let’s go to the commune to get our marriage certificate. Qiaoyun was sick before, but she’s almost recovered now, so let’s go get our marriage certificate. Having a marriage certificate is a guarantee, isn’t it!”
The mere mention of this made Zhai Qiaoyun sigh. She instinctively resisted the idea of getting a marriage certificate, which was why it had been delayed for so many days.
Who would have thought that Li Hongwei, for some unknown reason, was determined to get the marriage certificate.
Actually, many people in the village don't get a marriage certificate when they get married; they just have a ceremony and that's it. But these women are different; they don't have a ceremony, yet they still insist on getting a certificate.
"Oh, so you went to get your marriage certificate! Congratulations! Wishing you a long and happy marriage and many children!"
"Thank you, Duan, and I wish you find your Mr. Right soon!"
"Comrade Li, you're quite the smooth talker! You don't seem as bad as the rumors say. Now that you have such a good wife as Qiaoyun, you'd better treat her well!"
"Don't worry, Duan Zhiqing. She's my own wife. How could I not treat her well? I'm even counting on her to give me a son!"
Upon hearing this, not only Duan Nianzhen, but even Zhai Qiaoyun blushed unconsciously.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is something you can just casually bring up!"
Zhai Qiaoyun was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and shouted at Li Hongwei sternly.
Looking at Duan Nianzhen's flushed face, Li Hongwei felt a tickle in his heart and didn't care so much about Zhai Qiaoyun's harsh words.
"Okay, okay, I know, I won't say that again next time, Duan Zhiqing, please don't mind!"
I'm just a very direct person; that's just my personality, and it might have been because of my personality in the past.
That's why I offended people and so many unpleasant things have been said about me. You'll see what kind of person I am once you get to know me better!
Zhai Qiaoyun looked at Li Hongwei in disbelief. If she still couldn't see through Li Hongwei's thoughts at this moment, wouldn't she have lived in vain?
"Nianzhen, don't pay him any attention. He can be quite talkative sometimes. Let's hurry up and go, or we'll be back in the dark!"
"Well, let's go. Comrade Li, you don't need to say anything more. We can talk again another time!"
"Yes, Chengdu will listen to Duan Zhiqing!"
Zhai Qiaoyun sighed inwardly. How come she hadn't realized before how stupid Duan Nianzhen was, always making excuses for Li Hongwei? She was so tired.
The three of them walked all the way to the commune before they finally parted ways. Zhai Qiaoyun and Li Hongwei went to get their marriage certificate, while Duan Nianzhen went to pick up her package. The three of them did not go the same way.
"Well then, Qiaoyun, I'll head to the post office now. Goodbye!"
Goodbye, take care of yourself!
"Yes, I will. Comrade Li, please take good care of Qiaoyun!"
"Don't worry, Duan Zhiqing, you can keep an eye on me anytime. I promise I'll do my best!"
Watching Duan Nianzhen's departing figure, Zhai Qiaoyun glared at Li Hongwei.
"Keep your tricks to yourself and don't cause any trouble, or you'll end up in a labor camp!"
