At the threshing ground, Huo Xiao and Ye Weiwei lined up to receive their grain, chatting idly with a few male educated youths from the educated youth station.
Hou Zheng greatly admired Huo Xiao.
Because many members of their family are in the military, and they grew up in a military compound, seeing Huo Xiao gave them a sense of familiarity.
Hou Zheng was particularly interested in Huo Xiao's ability to kill two wild boars on the mountain after injuring one leg, and his knowledge of special communication codes. Once they started talking about it, he didn't want to let Huo Xiao go.
Huo Xiao was multitasking.
While answering Hou Zheng's questions, he kept an eye on Ye Weiwei and also kept an eye on the people around him.
Huo Xiao noticed that Lu Xiaolan was fawning over Zhao Mingzhe and occasionally casting resentful glances at his wife, and he secretly made a note of it.
When Huo Xiao helped Ye Weiwei deliver the grain back to the educated youth settlement, Hou Zheng was particularly attentive in seeing them off, which left Xu Meijun and Chen Jiali speechless.
This idiot has absolutely no sense of propriety!
They didn't know to give the young couple a chance to speak.
Hou Zheng still had an upright expression on his face.
"Anyway, Ye Weiwei will be getting married soon, and the two of them will be together every day, so they'll have plenty of opportunities to talk!"
Ye Weiwei: ……
That makes a lot of sense.
Xu Meijun's eyes were practically rolling to the sky.
Huo Xiao, seemingly unconcerned, said goodbye to Ye Weiwei and left the educated youth settlement chatting and laughing with Hou Zheng.
"Weiwei has been very well taken care of by you all during her time at the educated youth settlement. When we get married, you must come and have a drink at our wedding."
Hou Zheng scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "Don't say that. Ye Weiwei is so capable. She can lift a big man with one hand without any trouble. She doesn't need us to take care of her at all! She's the one who takes care of us the most."
A glint of cold light flashed in Huo Xiao's eyes: "You mean Zhao Mingzhe? I think he's badly injured."
Completely unaware that he was being tricked into revealing information, Hou Zheng said indignantly, "He deserved it!"
Then, he recounted what Zhao Mingzhe had said at the educated youth settlement the day before and how he had been beaten up by Ye Weiwei. As he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop sharply, and his hair stood on end. Only then did he realize that Huo Xiao's face was frighteningly grim.
He thought Huo Xiao had misunderstood, after all, Zhao Mingzhe had been Ye Weiwei's fiancé, and few men wouldn't mind, so he quickly added, "Ye Weiwei really has no feelings for Zhao Mingzhe anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such lengths..."
Did he say something wrong?
I thought Huo Xiao already knew about this, sigh!
Please don't let the two of them develop a rift!
Huo Xiao patted Hou Zheng on the shoulder, "I know, don't worry, I believe in Weiwei."
Hou Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Zhao Mingzhe accidentally fell into the latrine when he got up to use the toilet in the middle of the night, and his whole body reeked.
Although Zhao Mingzhe didn't mention how he fell into the cesspool, Hou Zheng inexplicably felt that Huo Xiao was involved.
Thinking about the couple's methods, Hou Zheng felt a chill run down his spine.
In this Daqingshan Village, you can't afford to offend Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao!
Because she was going to get her marriage certificate, Ye Weiwei got up early this morning and made a special effort to dress up and even put on some light makeup.
She was already exceptionally beautiful, and even without makeup, her beauty was undeniable. Now, dressed up, she was even more stunning, making it impossible to look away.
Xu Meijun was completely stunned.
"Ye Weiwei, tell me honestly what kind of good stuff you've secretly put on your face?"
Her skin and complexion are so good that she doesn't look like someone who has ever worked in the fields in the countryside. Even the pampered young ladies in the city can't compare.
Ye Weiwei: "Don't you know what I have that I have, since we're together every day?"
She didn't actually do much; her skin didn't need any foundation, she just shaped her eyebrows and applied some lip balm.
Because one shouldn't be too outrageous in this era, she chose things that weren't flashy.
Unfortunately, her foundation was too good.
Xu Meijun waved her arms angrily: "Go away! Go away! Hurry up and let Huo Xiao marry you, you scoundrel! Your face is too annoying to look at!"
Chen Jiali watched the two playfully interacting, smiling without saying a word.
She also envied Xu Meijun's free-spiritedness and willingness to say whatever she wanted without any reservations.
But she knew in her heart that she needed capital and confidence to act so recklessly!
Huo Xiao was already waiting at the entrance of the educated youth settlement with his bicycle.
This bicycle was a new one he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday afternoon. Liu Guilan even tied a red ribbon to it, making it look very festive.
When he saw Ye Weiwei come out, Huo Xiao's eyes lit up and he couldn't move his eyes.
"What, don't you recognize me?"
Huo Xiao snapped out of his daze, gripped Ye Weiwei's hand tightly, and whispered, "My wife is so beautiful!"
Ye Weiwei chuckled, "Alright, stop joking around, let's go. Aren't we going to the county to see Li Hao today?"
Huo Xiao: ...
Why did I have to bring up Li Hao that day?
Huo Xiao rode his bicycle with Ye Weiwei to the town to register. The two of them got off very early and were the first ones there that day.
The staff in charge of registration were amazed by the two's appearance and praised them as a match made in heaven.
After checking the village's certificates and inquiring about the couple's wishes, they took an oath in front of the Little Red Book, and a freshly issued marriage certificate was finally obtained.
Ye Weiwei curiously took the marriage certificate and glanced at it before Huo Xiao took it and put it away.
"Keep this with me for safekeeping."
Go back and have his dad make a frame for it. He doesn't need his dad; he can make it himself.
Seeing how much he treasured it, Ye Weiwei let him have his way.
After receiving their marriage certificate, the couple had just left the Civil Affairs Bureau when they saw a green SUV parked at the entrance.
Huo Xiao went up and said a few words to the driver, took the car keys, asked someone to watch the bicycle, and drove Ye Weiwei straight to the county.
Ye Weiwei recognized the car as the one she had ridden in on her way back from the county that day, only the driver had changed.
Huo Xiao first took Ye Weiwei to the county supply and marketing cooperative, where the two bought some canned fruit and brown sugar malted milk powder to visit Li Hao at the county hospital.
In the county hospital, Li Hao was lying in bed chatting with Fang Ming when he saw Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao enter. He was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed, which startled Fang Ming, who quickly held him down to prevent him from reopening his wound.
"How old are you? Still so impulsive!" Huo Xiao scolded coldly. "If your sister-in-law hadn't been there by chance, you would be dead!"
Li Hao listened to the reprimand with his head hanging low, extremely obedient.
Ye Weiwei nudged Huo Xiao, signaling him that that was enough.
Huo Xiao then handed the things in his hand to Fang Ming, told Li Hao to take good care of his injuries, and then asked, "Neither of you noticed anything different about me today?"
Li Hao and Fang Ming exchanged a puzzled look, then Li Hao excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Huo, your leg, your leg is healed?"
Fang Ming was also very excited: "Sister-in-law, did you really heal your leg? Completely healed?"
