Zhang Meili spoke in a low voice, as if even she herself was not sure.
Seeing her hesitating, Wang Shuning thought of the military coat Guo Jingyi was wearing. Lu Beichu also had one, so it was very likely a gift from the other party.
"Not every man is like Lu Beichu. Look at Zhao Leyi. He overestimated He Weiyuan and ruined himself. He was talked about when he went to work. Now he doesn't even want to leave the educated youth camp. He even has a bald spot on his head."
Living alone outside is already a bit lonely, and with a model couple around her, and Lu Beichu taking care of Guo Jingyi in every possible way, Zhang Meili is probably envious and wants to find one for herself.
Zhang Meili was touched by what she felt. She looked up at Wang Shuning a little embarrassedly, then lowered her head again, "I will get married sooner or later anyway, so the sooner I think about it, the longer I can choose."
This is Zhang Meili's own business, not to mention it is a lifelong matter. Wang Shuning has no right to intervene, nor does he want to intervene. "Just think about it yourself."
The village notified people to slaughter the pig and distribute the meat.
Five big fat boars were trapped on the rack. The skilled butcher cut them with one knife and the basin was full of blood.
Wang Shuning did not join in the fun, but waited until the meat was divided before going over.
The work points were few, and the meat I got was also little, and including the bones, it was just over one pound.
He Zhuzhu was holding a bamboo basket with a smile on her face. "Two kilograms of meat pickled with salt can be eaten until the Lantern Festival."
It's only the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month. Two kilograms of meat will take up more than half a month, and I guess only a few slices a day, which is really economical.
At the entrance of the village, Wang Juan was riding a bicycle with a flannel hat on her head. "Uncle, where is the educated youth station in your village?"
She is getting married the day after tomorrow, and today she is here to give the wedding invitation to Wang Shuning.
"Turn right at the intersection ahead, and then turn right again at the first intersection. There is a large house with a yard, built opposite each other. That is the educated youth site."
"Thank you, sir."
When she arrived at the educated youth point to call for help, Wang Shuning had not come out yet.
Li Xiamei heard the voice and walked out the door. Seeing Wang Juan pushing a cart, she knew she was not from the village. "Who are you looking for?"
Wang Juan: "I'm looking for Wang Shuning."
Li Xiamei shook her head. "She doesn't live here. Follow this road and turn right when you see the intersection. Turn left after 200 meters. Cross the path and you'll see a yard. She lives in He Zhuzhu's house."
Wang Juan was confused. The paths in the village were interconnected. Since they were educated youth who came to the village to work in the countryside, why didn't they live in the educated youth site?
Seeing the other party's confused face, Li Xiamei thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you there."
Wang Juan quickly thanked him.
A strange girl walking in the village is bound to attract attention, especially when Wang Juan is pushing a bicycle. Recently, bicycles have appeared more and more frequently in the village.
Li Xiamei took the person to He Zhuzhu's house and left.
Wang Shuning was a little surprised when he found out that it was Li Xiamei who brought Wang Juan here. He had only had one meal with her and she was a very cold girl.
Wang Juan looked at the courtyard and asked curiously, "Why don't you live in the educated youth camp?"
Wang Shuning answered truthfully: "The youth camp was full and there were no beds available, so the village arranged for us to rent a villager's house."
Wang Juan was very surprised when she saw the bicycle in the room. She knew that Wang Shuning had bought a radio, but she didn't expect that he also had a bicycle.
"I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. Here's the wedding invitation. The wedding banquet will be held at the man's home in town. You must come."
Wang Shuning took the red wedding invitation, which was written in calligraphy, and said, "Okay, I promise to go."
Wang Juan glanced at the bicycle leaning against the wall several times, hesitated for a minute, and finally spoke.
"Jieyu is still short of two bicycles. Can you ride over there and lend them to the groom's relatives to make a wedding car?" Originally, Wang Juan just came to deliver a wedding invitation, but when she saw that Wang Shuning had a car, and thought about the trouble her boyfriend had to borrow a car these two days, she had the audacity to ask.
Huo Jieyu and Wang Juan both have bicycles, but the more lively the wedding procession is, the better, so they wanted to make it an even number, ten, to be perfect.
Wang Shuning saw that the other party was a little embarrassed, so he curled his lips and smiled: "No problem, I will ride over early on the 23rd."
"Thank you." Wang Juan smiled happily, thinking that this trip was worth it.
He Zhuzhu, who was making corn cakes in the hall, saw Wang Shuning seeing Wang Juan off. This girl was not from the village.
He Haiming happened to see Wang Juan leaving He Zhuzhu's house. He felt that the girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
"Ning Zhiqing, is this your friend? He doesn't seem to be from the village." He Haiming asked casually.
"She lives in town, and she's getting married the day after tomorrow and came to send me the wedding invitation."
You can make friends in town while living in the village. The family of the person riding a bicycle must be well-off. Does Wang Shuning have relatives in Yihe Town?
Otherwise, why would he be sent to Dafeng Village to work in the countryside when his family conditions are so good?
As He Haiming walked on the road, he thought more and more that it was true. Suddenly, his mind flickered and he finally remembered where he had seen the woman. It was at the grain station in the town.
It was this girl who delivered meals to Wang Zhiming at that time. Thinking that Wang Zhiming's daughter was going to get married in a few days, this made a good match. The girl was the daughter of the director of the Yihe Town Grain Station.
This position is very important to He Haiming. The payment of public grain twice a year has to go through Wang Zhiming's hands. If he can establish a relationship with this person, the village can save a lot of trouble every time it pays public grain.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shuning left the village early and arrived at Wang Juan's house before eight o'clock.
Their house in the town is not big, with only three rooms and a small yard. There are big red "囍" characters pasted everywhere on the walls, windows and doors.
When Wang's mother, who was wearing a red corsage for her mother-in-law, heard her say her name was Wang Shuning, she immediately poured her tea enthusiastically and then took her to Wang Juan's room. "The groom will bring people to knock on the door later. You stay in the bridal chamber with Juanzi. Remember to grab a few more red envelopes to share in the good fortune."
Wang Juan was sitting on a stool while a woman with a red flower on her head was shaving her face.
Two thin white ropes were pulled by hands and one end was bitten on the teeth. As they crossed, all the hair on the face was pulled off, causing Wang Juan to grit her teeth in pain.
After the face was opened, Wang Juan smiled brightly and said, "You are here. Have you had breakfast?"
Wang Shuning nodded, "I've eaten."
There were a few underage girls standing in the bridal chamber, looking confused and with somewhat reserved expressions on their faces.
A bright red coat, black pants and a pair of low-heeled black leather shoes are the most representative bridal outfits of this era.
Wang Zhiming pushed Wang Shuning's bicycle to the well, fetched water and wiped it clean. Finally, he wiped it dry with a dry rag, tied a red silk ribbon and pushed it to the door. In addition to Wang Juan's dowry, there were two bicycles parked there. Although they looked clean, it was obvious that they were old.
"Tell the male relative who rides this car to be careful when riding. It is obviously a new car." Father Wang advised Mother Wang.
Mother Wang nodded and said that the new car must follow the groom's bicycle, which would be more grand and stylish.
