"What! Is she crazy?"
My thoughts turned.
Liu Sicun frowned and asked, "That's not right. Didn't you say she went to work as a chef at the Chaoyang County State-Owned Restaurant? You just said she was an apprentice in town?"
Liu Sicun was a little suspicious whether he had heard the news wrongly.
The villagers love gossip, so there will definitely be people asking questions and discussing the matter. Therefore, Guo Jingyi had already prepared a set of explanations for the outside world, the same as what she said to the mayor.
"Guo Jingyi thought the county town was too far and wanted to move to the town. It just so happened that He Weiyuan was selling a house. After Lu Beichu bought the house, they thought about getting married and having children as soon as possible. They would consider moving to the county town when the children were older. After all, cooking skills cannot be lost."
Liu Sicun's frown suddenly relaxed, and he chuckled with a bit of disdain, "No matter how good Lü Beichu is, he can't compare to having his own job. Guo Jingyi is just blinded by love."
Wang Shuning could only hold it in. If this was true, she would think so too, but in fact it was false. With Guo Jingyi's personality, if it weren't for Shanmo, she would never give up her job as a chef at the Chaoyang County State-owned Restaurant.
Liu Sicun looked around Wang Shuning's room. Although the place was small, it was decorated very warmly. It was a waste to use such thick gray cotton cloth as curtains instead of making clothes.
After Liu Sicun left Wang Shuning's home and returned to the educated youth point, he immediately told Zhao Leyi that Guo Jingyi was going to stay in the village and marry Lu Beichu. The news quickly spread throughout the village.
Men envy Lu Beichu for being able to marry a woman like Guo Jingyi who is both beautiful and wholeheartedly good to men, while women envy Guo Jingyi for being able to marry Lu Beichu who has better conditions.
Only a few people felt it was a pity that Guo Jingyi gave up her job in the city for Lu Beichu.
Some even speculated that this was a conciliatory tactic used by Guo Jingyi in order to make Lu Beichu fall in love with her.
The next day, Zhao Heping went to Chaoyang County Hospital to take care of Lv Beichu. What Wang Shuning didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Heping came back on a bicycle with Lv Beichu covered in bandages.
Wang Shuning stood on the side of the road holding the bucket in a daze. Didn’t the doctor say that he had to stay in the hospital for a week and then see whether he should be sent to the city hospital?
Why are you back now?
The villagers of Dafeng Village were shocked to see Lu Beichu's whole body looked paralyzed after being beaten. What had happened to him to cause such serious injuries?
Guo Jingyi hurried to Lv Beichu's newly bought house and asked anxiously, "Why did you come back from the hospital?"
Lu Beichu leaned on the bed and raised his hand to signal Guo Jingyi to hold his hand. "Shanmo lives in Yihe Town now. How can I feel at ease leaving you alone in the village? If they kidnap you while I'm away, I will be worried."
Wang Shuning, who followed and stood at the door, couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his cheeks slightly. With such injuries, his right hand and left leg were completely unable to move. Even if Shanmo came with people, he could knock you to the ground with just one fist.
Guo Jingyi was about to cry. She bit her lower lip with her white teeth, leaving a clearly visible tooth mark. She said in a choked voice, "But your injury is not healed yet."
The smile on Lv Beichu's face was gentle but weak at the moment. "The doctor said that my nose doesn't bleed and my head doesn't hurt, so I don't need to go to the city hospital. I can just go to the town for intravenous drip every day. Heping will take me there every morning and I'll be back in the afternoon."
The village chief walked in and couldn't help sighing at the sight of Lu Beichu's appearance. Guo Jingyi told him that Lu Beichu was beaten very badly. She didn't expect it to be so serious. It might take three or four months to recover.
They both had good conditions and made a perfect match, but their luck was so bad.
Come to think of it, Wang Shuning has the best life. He has connections in the town, his family can contribute money, he has a bicycle and a radio, and he eats well every meal.
Women shouldn’t be too pretty, otherwise it will be troublesome. Thinking about it this way, Wang Shuning seems to be pretty good looking too.
Song family, Chaoyang County.
Song Qian closed the door dejectedly, carrying the empty basket.
Song Wen heard the door close and hurried out to ask, "Haven't you seen the black girl yet?"
Song Qian put the basket on the ground, straightened her body and shook her head helplessly, "Son, do you think she has found someone else to cooperate with?"
Song Wen's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of annoyance. "There are no similar new products in the county market. Maybe they just haven't arrived."
The things that were offered to Zhang Minsheng had already been sold out, but he had come to his house to look for him a few days ago.
His words included an apology for his previous behavior, and he also asked when the next batch of goods would arrive, hoping that he could continue to sell to him.
Wang Shuning never came to the black market. Not only could Song Qian not wait for him, but even Zhang Minsheng, who was following Song Qian and Song Wenyi, couldn't find him.
Whether he wanted to intercept or continue cooperation, Zhang Minsheng did it for money. Now that he couldn't make any money, he was naturally willing to take a step back.
Song Qian sighed and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked her where she lived."
Song Wen shook his head. "The black girl is definitely not from the county town. She is probably from the village below. We traded with her several times, but she didn't even tell us her name. She kept calling us the black girl."
Although her skin was really dark, it was only a little lighter than pot ash.
Wang Shuning had already collected two batches of things in her space and stored them all in the wooden house. She had not gone to the black market in the north of the city to find Aunt Ma because she learned from Qi Jianping that someone was sending her things to the car manufacturing plant as welfare.
Song Wenyi and his mother didn't seem to have the ability to do so, so they might have sold it to other people who had the channels.
But once the items come into the open, the risk will increase. Besides, she already has 1,800 yuan in savings, which was a huge sum of money in the 1970s. Many people could not earn that much in their entire lives. So Wang Shuning decided to take a break and only collect items but not sell them for the time being.
In addition, knowing that there were social scums like Shan Mo and Wang Tuzi in Chaoyang County, Wang Shuning was worried that the butterfly effect of the protagonist's death would implicate himself, so he focused more on Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu.
Even if in this novel, I am a cannon fodder and Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu are the protagonists, but bad guys are the natural enemies of everyone, and saving others may be saving myself.
The village was very lively on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At Lu Beichu's home, Guo Jingyi was feeding Lu Beichu sesame-filled glutinous rice balls.
Lu Beichu stared at Guo Jingyi affectionately, and after eating the last dumpling, he said, "Jingyi, when I can get out of bed, let's go to the office to get a marriage certificate, okay?"
The soup spoon fell on the white porcelain bowl, a crisp knocking sound was heard, and the white soup created fine ripples.
Guo Jingyi lowered her head slightly. Now everyone in Dafeng Village knew that the two were going to get married and were even anxious to have children. Even if she wanted to wait, she couldn't, as Shanmo was still in the town.
If she didn't know that the whole thing was a trap designed by Shanmo and his men, tomorrow would be the day she would go to work at the state-owned hotel in Yihe Town. If they found out that she didn't go, she didn't know if they would come to the village.
