After returning home, Wang Juan looked at all the things and asked about their prices. She smiled and said, "Your friend is really generous and straightforward."
Wang Juan: "She is from Beijing, and her family is well off to begin with. If it weren't for the educated youth going to the countryside, she wouldn't have come to our place."
"Has the little girl found a partner?"
Wang Juan was stunned for a moment, shook her head and replied: "Probably not."
"There are several promising young men in this town. I'll introduce them to her some other day." Grandma Wang Juan happily went to cook dinner.
When Wang Shuning was riding his bicycle past the small river near the village, he vaguely heard someone calling for help.
I stopped my bike, stood on the ridge and looked into the distance. It seemed like there was a person in the river, and the sound came from that direction.
Is this a fall into the water?
Suddenly, a figure jumped into the river to rescue people. When Wang Shuning arrived, he saw He Qianghai dragging Zhao Leyi out of the water.
Wang Shuning frowned slightly, walked forward and pulled He Qianghai away.
Zhao Leyi coughed twice and vomited water while lying on the ground. She raised her head and looked at He Qianghai with spring in her eyes and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have drowned."
Wang Shuning shivered twice on his back and finally understood what Zhang Meili meant by ambiguity.
He Qianghai wrung the water off himself and said carelessly, "Why did you go over there? There's not even a step. Why don't you just wash your clothes here?"
Zhao Leyi didn't say anything. She cried all the way back. It was just time to get off work. Many people on the road saw that Zhao Leyi and He Qianghai were wet all over.
Aunt Da Jiao asked Zhao Leyi: "Did you fall into the river?"
Zhao Leyi nodded pitifully, "I accidentally fell into the river, luckily Qiang Hai saw me and rescued me."
Aunt Da Jiao's gossipy eyes wandered over Zhao Leyi and He Qianghai.
There shouldn't be anything going on between them since they call each other so intimately.
Aunt Ronghua looked at Zhao Leyi's chest and asked, "Did He Qianghai carry you up here?"
Zhao Leyi lowered her head slightly, nodded shyly, and said softly, "Yes."
He Qianghai stammered as he explained: "I dragged her up by pinching her neck, and I didn't touch anything else."
Wang Shuning looked at Zhao Leyi with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said to everyone with a faint smile: "It's spring now, people wear a lot of clothes, and nothing is exposed, so what can be seen?"
Zhao Leyi suddenly looked up at Wang Shuning, and keenly felt that Wang Shuning seemed to know what he was planning, and his heart began to sink.
He Qianghai didn't take the incident seriously after he returned, but Wang Shuning felt that Zhao Leyi would not let it go so easily, so she went to He Pingping's house and told Zhang Meili what she saw today.
Zhang Meili, who was washing dishes, broke a bowl on the spot, with a look of grievance in her eyes, "Qiang Hai explained to me yesterday that he and Zhao Leyi had nothing to do with each other. They just happened to meet that day, and it was Zhao Leyi who had been looking for him to talk."
Wang Shuning: "Zhao Leyi is plotting against He Qianghai. Be careful. This matter is definitely not over yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of He Pingping's wife was heard outside the house.
"I heard that Zhao Zhiqing started crying after returning to the educated youth camp. It was so miserable."
He Pingping's daughter-in-law: "She was carried out of the river by a man, all wet. Even if no one saw her, her future partner would definitely be disgusted if they knew someone had carried her."
He Pingping's wife: "Zhao Leyi and He Qianghai are about the same age, and they are also very compatible. Otherwise, why would He Qianghai have to save Zhao Leyi? I think these two are a good match."
…
The more she listened, the uglier Zhang Meili's expression became.
Wang Shuning thought for a moment and asked, "Have you and He Qianghai confirmed your relationship?"
Zhang Meili nodded with a droopy mouth, "Yes, we held hands that day."
Wang Shuning pursed his lips and stood up. "If you really like this person, then settle the matter quickly. Otherwise, rumors will spread all over the village. I'm afraid that the false will become true."
"But I'm the only one in the village. I can't go to Qiang Haiti to ask for marriage by myself." That would be so embarrassing and I'd hate to get married.
What's more, they just started talking.
Wang Shuning: "You can first ask He Qianghai to find a matchmaker to come to your house and arrange the marriage. At least let the villagers know that you two are a couple, so that they won't match you up randomly."
One woman is sought after by hundreds of families, and nowadays, good men also have to be snatched away.
Zhang Meili took Wang Shuning's words to heart and found He Qianghai that night to tell him what happened.
During the lunch break the next day, He Qianghai's mother brought the village head's wife and some things to He Pingping's house.
He Pingping's family, who were having dinner, didn't react until they saw them walk into Zhang Meili's room and then they realized what was going on.
Guo Jingyi, who learned the news from Zhang Meili in the morning, rushed over as soon as she got off work at noon. Zhang Meili was alone in the village, and in such occasions, she had to have a married woman to talk to.
Considering that they had to go to work in the afternoon, He Qianghai's mother and the village chief's wife left after a short stay. Guo Jingyi sent them to the gate of the courtyard before returning.
"I think your future mother-in-law really wants you and He Qianghai to get married soon."
When speaking just now, He Qianghai's mother mentioned twice that she hoped to meet Zhang Meili's parents as soon as possible.
Zhang Meili lowered her head in embarrassment, "If he hadn't met me, Qiang Hai would have been on a blind date."
Guo Jingyi looked at her. Zhang Meili and He Qianghai were in a free love relationship, so this marriage was suitable.
On the way back, He Qianghai's mother and the village head's wife directly brought up the marriage of the two. They said that the children were already engaged and were just waiting for Zhang Meili's parents to come from Su City to set the date for the wedding.
For a time, the marriage of He Qianghai and Zhang Meili became a hot topic in the village. Most of the news were praising He Qianghai for his ability to win the heart of the female educated youth from the city so quickly.
Compared to Zhao Leyi, who has already talked to He Weiyuan, Zhang Meili, who has never had a bad reputation, is naturally much better.
Zhao Leyi was dumbfounded when she heard the news. She was planning to cry and make a fuss, pretending to be aggrieved, and using this fall into the water to ask He Qianghai to marry her. How come it was that only half a day had passed and the other party had already got engaged to Zhao Leyi?
What should I do then?
After lunch, Li Xiamei went into her room to sleep and glanced at Zhao Leyi.
Zhao Leyi started crying and going on a hunger strike since last night. Today, when she was at work, she kept sobbing and shedding tears. She also refused to eat lunch. Who is she putting on this show for?
Now that she has no audience, let’s see how she can pretend.
"Sicun..." Zhao Leyi stared at Liu Sicun with longing eyes.
Liu Sicun had one foot in the doorway, but the other foot couldn't go in. He put his hand over his mouth and nose and pretended to yawn, "I'm too tired this morning. I'm so sleepy."
Then she quickly took off her clothes and got into bed. She turned over very neatly, turned her back to Zhao Leyi and closed her eyes.
