"A pair costs one yuan, but regular small hair clips are the kind that cost a few cents a pair. These plastic ones are very expensive. When I saw them, besides this red butterfly hair clip, there was also a pair with yellow petals. I guess Brother Lin Yuan knew you had a red shirt, so he specially got you the red one."
In Wenyan's opinion, although she doesn't lack a dollar, she still feels reluctant to spend a dollar on a hair clip. She thinks it's too expensive and not worth it. She thinks a hair clip doesn't matter if it's not pretty, because wearing a hair clip is better than not wearing one.
Wenyan felt that she had seen into Lin Yuan's heart; he must have been thinking of Huanhuan's red shirt at that moment.
Zhao Huanhuan was taken aback. One yuan?
Well, the price was both unexpectedly cheap and unexpectedly expensive.
She knew the prices of goods in this era very well, so she was surprised that Lin Yuan would spend a dollar to buy her a pair of hair clips.
"Then help me put it on!" Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile, handing it to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan was immediately excited. She solemnly wiped her hands on her clothes as if receiving some kind of inherited treasure before taking the pair of red hair clips and carefully putting them on Zhao Huanhuan's head.
After examining it for a few more moments, she shook her head. "Hmm, this spot won't do. It's not conspicuous enough. Such an expensive and beautiful hair clip must be worn in a more visible place so that Brother Lin Yuan can see it and know that you like the gift he bought for you."
Zhao Huanhuan: ......
She couldn't say anything and could only silently let Wenyan try it on her head. Finally, Zhao Huanhuan found the best-looking position and clapped her hands, "Okay, wear it here."
Zhao Huanhuan picked up a small mirror, looked at herself, and suppressed a laugh as she looked at Wen Yan, "Yan Yan, are you sure it looks good here? It's eye-catching, but why do I feel like I'm showing off?"
"Hahaha!"
Wenyan burst out laughing at her words, "Looking at it this way, it really isn't that pretty anymore. Oh well, Huanhuan, I think you should wear it when you take Lin Yuan back to your house. You can braid two pigtails and put hair clips on both sides of the braids to make it look even better."
Zhao Huanhuan thought about it for a moment and realized that it did look better that way, so she agreed.
Zhao Huanhuan put away the hair clip and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to sleep next to Wen Yan. The two talked in hushed tones for a while, during which Zhao Huanhuan told Wen Yan that she and Lin Yuan would be going back to her home the next afternoon.
Wenyan inquired about her parents' personalities and learned that they weren't the type to make things difficult for people, which put her at ease.
As long as both families are happy, Huanhuan and Lin Yuan will surely be happy for the rest of their lives.
Inside the main room, the Lin couple told Lin Yuan about how they had gone to the captain earlier that day to discuss their relationship with Huanhuan. The captain was very happy for them and mentioned that Bai Meilan had wanted to introduce Zhao Huanhuan to her son. Now that the girl had caught Lin Yuan's eye, it was naturally an even better match.
The captain also volunteered to act as matchmaker.
The Lin couple were naturally happy. With the team leader acting as matchmaker, their son's relationship with Huanhuan was pretty much settled. The only remaining question was whether their in-laws would approve of their rural background.
After all, they are native city dwellers.
Lin Yuan knew the captain agreed readily, and she was relieved.
In the afternoon, he went to the brigade to get a letter of introduction for him and Zhao Huanhuan to go out, and the brigade leader readily issued it.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan left two packs of cigarettes for the brigade leader, saying it was a gift for the matchmaker.
The captain accepted the gift with a smile. He liked it; after all, it was a happy occasion, and who wouldn't want to share in the joy?
Afterwards, Lin Yuan went to the fields to pick up Zhao Huanhuan and asked for leave for Zhao Huanhuan and Qiu Yi for the next few days. He had already told the brigade leader, and he also had to tell the educated youth leader.
At this time, news had already spread throughout the educated youth team that Zhao Huanhuan was going to marry Lin Yuan.
They were all incredulous. They had only known each other for a few days? Were there people who would decide to get married after knowing each other for only two or three days?
Hu Doudou, in particular, found it most unacceptable that Zhao Huanhuan had won Lin Yuan's favor and was going to marry her.
"Tell me, did you secretly go and seduce Brother Lin? You've only known each other for two or three days, how could Brother Lin want to marry you so soon?" Hu Doudou endured hoeing the ground for a while, but finally couldn't take it anymore. She threw down the hoe and rushed in front of Zhao Huanhuan, angrily pointing at her and questioning her.
Zhao Huanhuan ignored her and continued hoeing the ground.
Enraged, Hu Doudou stood directly in front of Zhao Huanhuan, her eyes red as she glared at her and began to berate her, "You fickle woman! I heard just a few days ago that Hao Qiang, your former landlord, was going to marry you. You've already changed partners so quickly? You've climbed the social ladder by marrying Brother Lin and now you want to abandon Hao Qiang, who was good to you before?"
Zhao Huanhuan squinted at her and said calmly, "Get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the way. If you want to be a dog, I won't bother with a mad dog like you who bites people indiscriminately."
"Zhao Huanhuan, I'll f*** your mother! Who are you calling a mad dog?" Hu Doudou was so angry that she couldn't hold back her words and swore.
Seeing that something was wrong, Qiu Yi rushed over and overheard Hu Doudou swearing. He angrily snapped, "Hu Doudou, do you want to be tied up and paraded through the streets? Don't swear at your mother, have you forgotten that saying?"
Zhao Huanhuan slowly put down the hoe in her hand and stood up, her face dark and cold as she looked at Hu Doudou.
"Did my mom upset you?"
"Hao Qiang told you I agreed to marry him?"
"Or does Lin Yuan already have another fiancée, and I stole someone else's marriage?"
"We are both single, so why can't we get married?"
"Are you some kind of great man? Do we need to swear vows in front of you before we get married?"
"One last thing, I, Zhao Huanhuan, hate personal attacks that involve parents the most. Weren't you born of parents? Should I try cursing your mother a few times too?"
Hu Doudou was relentlessly berated by Zhao Huanhuan, unable to utter a single word. Finally, the moment Zhao Huanhuan finished speaking, she grabbed Hu Doudou and threw her out of the field. Hu Doudou flew in an arc like a kite and landed in a pile of weeds at the edge of the field.
"Trash like you only deserve to stay with weeds." Finally, Zhao Huanhuan clapped her hands, turned around, picked up the hoe, and continued weeding.
Once again, the entire field suddenly fell silent as everyone remembered Zhao Huanhuan's immense strength.
When everyone looked at Hu Doudou, who was sitting blankly in the pile of weeds, they couldn't help but turn away, trying to suppress their laughter, afraid that laughing too loudly would ruin the atmosphere.
Is Hu Doudou brainless? Has she forgotten what kind of person Zhao Huanhuan is?
