The next day when she went to work, Wang Xiaomei was assigned to work with the female educated youth again. She quietly approached Wen Nuan and called her sister-in-law a few times, which made Wen Nuan blush.
When reading the letter yesterday, Wang Jianshe said in the letter that he would tell his family this time, so when Wang Xiaomei came over and called her sister-in-law, although Wen Nuan was very shy, she did not object.
Wang Xiaomei quietly told Wen Nuan's mother that they were going to the educated youth center to discuss marriage the next day, and Wen Nuan shyly agreed.
The next day, Wen Nuan and Xie Sufang took leave and stayed at the educated youth center waiting for Aunt Yang to come.
Aunt Yang arrived at the educated youth point in the morning. No matter what she was thinking, she always had a gentle smile on her face.
Except for Wen Nuan and Xie Sufang, everyone else at the educated youth site has gone to work. The weather warmed up early this year, so the corn was planted by the end of April. There is nothing to do now, so Wen Nuan and Xie Sufang can take leave.
When Aunt Yang arrived at the educated youth center and saw Xie Sufang there, she didn't have any objections. After all, she had been in the village for more than five years. Even if she didn't care, she knew a little about the educated youth center. She knew that Xie Sufang took care of Wen Nuan as she did her own sister. So, when she saw Xie Sufang there, she felt even more satisfied. After all, the marriage had not been discussed with the bride herself, although Wen Nuan's situation was a little special.
Wen Nuan was a little shy and nervous when Aunt Yang just came in. This was when Xie Sufang showed her great ability. She invited Aunt Yang into the house and asked her to sit down, and poured her a bowl of brown sugar water.
Aunt Yang was a straightforward person, and she got straight to the point: "You all know why I'm here today, so I won't go on and on. My family has chosen Wen Zhiqing, and we all think he's great. That's why I'm here today just to discuss marriage with him."
"Okay, Auntie, just say it directly!" Xie Sufang quickly put herself in the shoes of her older sister and responded readily.
"We all like Xiao Nuan, and she will be joining the army right after she gets married to Jianshe, so we've prepared a watch for the three major items. As for the other two major items and the thirty-six legs, we won't prepare them for now. We'll buy them after you join the army. However, we'll still prepare the wedding room well, and we've prepared 188 yuan for the betrothal gift. Do you like it?"
As soon as Aunt Yang finished speaking, Xie Sufang and Wen Nuan were stunned. After all, they had been here for five or six years, so they knew how much the villagers gave as a dowry when they got married, not to mention that they had prepared a watch!
Xie Sufang was now completely relieved. After all, the betrothal gift given by the Wang family showed how much the Wang family valued Wen Nuan.
"No, not so much..." Wen Nuan pushed softly.
"Not much. To be honest, these things were basically prepared by Jianshe himself, so you don't have to feel embarrassed. Just take them!" Aunt Yang is still a very down-to-earth person.
The following conversation was very harmonious. Wang Jianshe came back on May 18, which happened to be Wen Nuan's birthday. Aunt Yang invited Wen Nuan to her home for dinner, as a way of getting to know her.
Because Wang Jianshe's vacation was short, excluding the time on the road, he could only stay at home for six days, so time was very tight. They went to get the marriage certificate the day after his birthday, held the wedding on May 22, and they had to leave on the 24th.
After saying this, Aunt Yang left in a hurry. Her son was getting married, and there were still a lot of things to do.
After Aunt Yang left, Wen Nuan and Xie Sufang didn't delay and went straight to the town to buy wedding things for Wen Nuan.
"Thermos bottle, red washbasin, quilt, new clothes, ..." Xie Sufang muttered to herself as she walked on the road.
"Sister, there's no need to prepare so many things. If you prepare too much, it will be hard to carry. I can buy them when I go to the army," Wen Nuan looked at Xie Sufang who kept muttering to herself, feeling both amused and touched.
"Oh, we have to prepare. The Wang family gave us so much as a dowry, so we have to prepare more. Otherwise, the villagers will laugh at us!"
"Sis, we don't have tickets even if we want to prepare!"
"It's okay. I collected all the tickets from other people this morning and used all the tickets I could!"
"Ah, isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong with that? I'll give it all to you as your dowry!"
What Xie Sufang said was absolutely true. After returning from work yesterday afternoon, Xie Sufang found an opportunity to tell Zhang Hongliang that Wen Nuan was about to get married. Although Zhang Hongliang was very surprised, he didn't say anything. After all, there are differences between men and women, and they usually can't pay too much attention to female educated youth. Moreover, as male educated youth, they knew Wang Jianshe better, so they also agreed.
In the evening, Zhang Hongliang told everyone in the dormitory about what happened, and mentioned that Xie Sufang wanted the tickets. Everyone else took out the tickets in their hands and said that it was a dowry to Wen Nuan.
Xie Sufang sorted out the tickets, kept all the cloth tickets and industrial tickets, picked up some daily necessities tickets and kept them, and returned the rest to Zhang Hongliang.
Today, the two of them indulged in shopping. They bought a red floral bed sheet for their wedding and a quilt cover with a pattern of blooming flowers. They went back to make a new Wen Nuan quilt. They also bought a new set of clothes for Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe, and a pair of shoes for Wang's father, mother, and Wang Xiaomei. When they got home, Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman took advantage of their time off from work to make a new Wen Nuan quilt.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was Wen Nuan's birthday.
Early in the morning, Lin Yiman got up and made Wen Nuan a bowl of longevity noodles. This was also a tradition at the educated youth site, and everyone had it on their birthday.
Because they were going to Wang Jianshe's house for dinner in the evening, the educated youth ordered some extra food at noon to celebrate Wen Nuan's birthday.
Wang Jianshe arrived home at noon. He bought a lot of things in the town and packed two servings of braised pork and two servings of chicken stewed with mushrooms from a state-owned restaurant. He gave one portion of each to the educated youth as a snack and saved one portion for dinner.
When he arrived at the educated youth point, dinner was just about to start, and everyone invited him to stay for dinner. Looking at his girlfriend, who had obviously become prettier, Wang Jianshe felt dizzy and decided to stay.
At the dinner table, most of the people talking were Zhang Hongliang and Xie Sufang, and Wang Jianshe. Wen Nuan kept her head down while blushing as she ate. Others would occasionally give the young lovers a teasing look.
After dinner, Xie Sufang and the others pretended not to see Wang Jianshe taking Wen Nuan away.
Wang Jianshe held his little object's soft little hand, and felt itchy inside. It was lunch time, and there was almost no one on the road. Wang Jianshe held Wen Nuan all the way to the mountain, hid behind a big tree, and hugged Wen Nuan tightly in his arms, "I miss you!"
Feeling the man's domineering aura and warm and safe embrace, Wen Nuan blushed and whispered, "I miss you, too..."
Wang Jianshe couldn't hold back any longer, he lowered his head and kissed the tender and tempting red lips, clinging to the man tightly with warmth...
