The man was of medium build, about 1.7 meters tall, with a shaved head, a round face, and double eyelids.
Yan Sumei introduced: "She is my cousin, her name is Yan Ning."
Then she said shyly, "Sister Ning, he is my boyfriend, his name is Sun Lei."
Sun Lei looked at Yan Ning with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Yan."
Yan Ning nodded politely, "Hello."
After the greetings were over, Yan Sumei said to Sun Lei, "Then you go and have fun first. I'll chat with my cousin for a while."
Sun Lei nodded and skated towards the center of the rink.
Yan Sumei asked in a low voice: "Sister Ning, what do you think of Sun Lei?"
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "I can't read faces, and I've only met this person once, so it's hard to say."
"well!"
Yan Sumei sighed, "Shan Zhijun and I just broke off our engagement two months ago, and I don't want to rush into finding a partner.
But my parents kept pushing me, telling me every day that I would be an old maid soon.
They asked my aunts to introduce me to potential partners, and later my eldest aunt introduced me to Sun Lei.
I got along with him for a few times and I thought he was pretty good. Plus, I was upset because of my parents' pressure.
So I agreed to date Sun Lei. I just have a slight affection for him now.
I can’t say I like it, and I don’t know what to do next. I feel so confused! ”
Most people in this era get married very early.
Girls in the city are better off, most of them get married around the age of 20 or 21.
It is normal to get married at the age of 25 or 26.
Girls in rural areas generally get married at the age of 17 or 18.
If a woman is over 22 and still unmarried, she is considered an older leftover woman.
Everyone in the family feels ashamed in the village, so they try every means to marry the girl off.
After a while, Yan Ning slowly spoke: "Marriage is not a joke, it is a lifelong matter.
Sister Sumei, you haven't turned 18 yet, so you're not an adult yet. Don't be so anxious.
You can spend some more time with him and get to know him better before making a decision."
"Heh..." Yan Sumei laughed at herself, "I'm not in a hurry, but my mother can't wait to marry me off tomorrow.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go have a meal together after we finish our ice skating!”
Yan Ning smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Sister Sumei, I may not have time later. I'll ask you out to play another day!"
Yan Sumei nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go over and play first."
Yan Ning also skated a few laps on the rink, then left the rink and changed his shoes.
Yan Yuqi, Xiao Xue and others played for more than an hour and came out only when they were tired.
Several people went to return the shoes, and the staff returned the deposit to Yan Ning.
Among the eight of them, except Yan Ning who skated for about an hour, the other seven skated for more than two hours in total.
Yan Ning paid another two yuan and thirty cents.
It was already past three in the afternoon when the group left the roller skating rink.
Yan Ning and others first sent Qin Bingbing and Qin Haoyuan back to the food factory staff building.
The remaining six people took a bus back to Qinghe County, and when they arrived in Qinghe County, they sent Xiao Xue and her two siblings home.
Yan Ning, Yan Yuqi and Yan Yulin took a bus back to Anping Commune. When they arrived at the commune station, there were several ox carts soliciting passengers at the door.
These days, the snow on the road has been plowed by tractors and is now passable by oxcarts.
Yan Yuqi paid one dollar to rent an ox cart and asked the old man driving it to take the three of them back to Daliushu.
In the following days, Yan Ning stayed in the main room every day, warming himself by the fire and eating snacks.
I really experienced the feeling of hibernating in Northeast China.
She occasionally returns to the 21st century to draw jewelry designs.
On the 15th, the Lantern Festival, Aunt San and Aunt Si of Yan rushed back to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
Yan Guodong will go to Chuncheng to take up his post after the Lantern Festival.
Chuncheng is far away from Qinghe County, so he will not go back to Daliushu every Sunday.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year is over.
Yan Ning submitted an application to the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau to leave the country, and the reason was still to visit relatives.
The exit approval was obtained in one week.
Yan Yuqi has also decided whether to go to Hong Kong City.
"Sister, I went to several black markets recently and took a look. My brothers said,
Ever since I went to Yangcheng and stopped that batch of goods, the black market business in these cities has not been as good as before.
Not only is the food sold on the black market increasingly expensive, but its quality is also inferior to the goods your friend provided me."
Yan Yuqi looked at Yan Ning and made up his mind: "So I decided not to go to Gangcheng to work, but to stay in Ji Province and continue to resell supplies.
I also need you to contact your friend, I hope he can continue to supply me with goods,
The address remains the same, it's in the courtyard on Qingshi Lane, sister, do you think it's okay?"
Yan Ning didn't care. She had food seeds in her space anyway, and she was raising those animals.
It's just that she needs to deliver the goods through the anchor point every week.
She can make money without any effort, so there is nothing she can't do.
Yan Ning nodded, "Okay, then I'll contact my friend in the next few days. I'll let you know when he arranges for someone to deliver the goods."
Although he went around in circles and ended up back at the starting point, Yan Yuqi at least gained some experience.
I lost a lot of money in Guangzhou and almost lost my life, but I also witnessed the cruelty of this world.
After paying for his own choice, at least he will think twice before doing anything in the future.
Now that the matter was settled, Yan Yuqi felt a lot more relaxed.
"Although I'm not going to Hong Kong City to work, I still want to go out and see that prosperous city when I have the chance in the future."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Brother, if you ever want to come to Hong Kong City, you can contact me in advance."
"good."
A few days later, Yan Ning told Yan Yuqi that the delivery had been confirmed with her friend.
The delivery time was changed to every Sunday evening after dark.
The first batch of goods was delivered on the evening of the 29th.
The process is still the same as before, delivery first and payment later.
After confirming the delivery time, Yan Ning took time out every day to enter the space and start planting wheat, corn, peanuts and rice.
As for chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, the farms have been raising these animals.
After stopping feeding, these animals stopped growing and reproducing after reaching a certain size.
Let’s slaughter this batch now and then breed new seedlings!
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was February 29th.
Yan Ning is about to set off for Gangcheng.
After breakfast in the morning, she rode her bicycle out of Daliushu, carrying the food prepared for her by Old Lady Yan.
She found a corner on the way and entered the space, and then appeared in the courtyard of Qinghe Hutong in Beijing City.
Last time, Madam Ning gave her the title deed and key to this courtyard.
