Chapter 263 Marriage

Liu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll just be a bad mom. Forget about the candy. I'll make you... braised pork ribs later."

She originally planned to make sweet and sour spare ribs, but decided not to because the sugar content was too high.

When he heard that there was braised spareribs, Gu Yanyan perfectly demonstrated what it meant to change his expression faster than turning the pages of a book. His eyes, which were filled with tears, suddenly lit up: "Rou Rou?"

Liu Yinyin hummed: "If you behave yourself, I will make braised spareribs for you."

Well, Gu Yanyan was no longer sad now, and watched Liu Yinyin take out a piece of pork ribs from the basket.

The little guy smiled widely, sniffed his nose, and ran happily to the yard to dig in the mud.

Liu Yinyin satisfied the little guy and made a dish of braised pork ribs and stir-fried Chinese cabbage with mushrooms for lunch, and the staple food was white flour steamed buns.

The heavy rain lasted for a whole day and night and didn't stop until the next morning.

Liu Yinyin looked at the weather outside and thought about going to the mountain. If she couldn't find bamboo shoots, she could look for mushrooms or something.

After a heavy rain, it is a good time for mushrooms to emerge.

She was not the only one in the village who thought this way.

When Liu Yinyin sent Gu Yanyan to Liu's house, she met Liu Ersao who was carrying a basket and preparing to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. She did not go to work today.

Knowing that Liu Yinyin also wanted to go to the mountain, he immediately went with her.

Like Mrs. Liu Da, Mrs. Liu Er is always thinking about the man she has outside.

Liu Yinyin still said the same thing: "Second sister-in-law, if you are really worried, you can go to the island to visit Second Brother when you have time."

It's impossible to leave at this critical moment. The village will start spring plowing soon and there is no time.

Besides, Mrs. Liu probably doesn't have much money on her, so she can wait for Brother Liu to send her money. It won't be too late to go there once she has money.

Mrs. Liu didn't say she wouldn't go. She said thoughtfully, "Let's talk about it after we finish the spring ploughing."

To be precise, I should wait until Liu Yinyin joins the army before considering whether to go or not.

When her younger brother-in-law gets a house, she will have a place to stay when she goes to visit relatives. Otherwise, she will have nowhere to live.

Brother Liu is different from Gu Cheng. He definitely does not have the qualifications to allow his family to accompany the army.

There were many people coming to the mountain to pick mushrooms today. In this regard, Liu Ersao was obviously more experienced than her and knew which area on the mountain had more wild mushrooms.

It was also because the sister-in-law and her family had done them a favor, otherwise Liu Ersao would not be willing to take others to look for mushrooms.

There is only so much food to eat in the mountains, and everyone wants to take it home.

Not long after, Liu Ersao took Liu Yinyin to find a field of wild mushrooms.

The two of them squatted down to pick mushrooms.

Mrs. Liu was also a chatty person. While picking mushrooms, she couldn't help gossiping with Liu Yinyin: "Yinyin, you don't know, our village has been in turmoil recently."

Liu Yinyin was stunned: "...Second sister-in-law, what happened again?"

She just came back and she doesn't have any neighbors around, so she doesn't know a lot of things yet.

Mrs. Liu whispered, "It's that Widow Li. You may not know, but she's getting married soon."

Liu Yinyin was indeed quite surprised: "...Marry? To whom?"

Sister Liu said with a hint of pity in her tone: "It's Liu Bozi from the village."

Widow Li's marriage was a good thing for the villagers, but she married a local, which was bad news...

But it doesn’t matter, Mrs. Liu doesn’t have to worry, because her husband is working outside now.

No matter what Widow Li does, no harm can come to her.

Liu Yinyin was immediately surprised: "Him? Isn't Liu Bozi over 40?"

Not only that, Liu Bozi is a well-known old bachelor in the village. In addition to having a slightly lame leg, he also has a pointed face and monkey cheeks.

I am over 40 now and I still can’t be called a wife.

How could Widow Li possibly be interested in a man like this?

"Oh!" Second Sister Liu said with disdain, "Widow Li has such a bad reputation, who in the village doesn't know about her scandals? It would be a great honor for someone to marry her."

It would be impossible for her to marry into a good family.

Liu Yinyin was not very interested in Widow Li's affairs: "Liu Bozi is not a lazy man. I hope they can live a good life in the future."

Mrs. Liu clicked her tongue twice: "Just wait and see, it will be strange if that woman behaves herself."

She didn't think Widow Li would live a peaceful life in the future...

Thinking about it made her feel unlucky. Then Mrs. Liu talked about another thing: "Alas, mother hasn't told you yet, Hongmei is also going to get married, and she is going to marry Jiang Zhiqing from the village."

This is a happy event. Liu Hongmei is Liu Yinyin's cousin, only one year younger than her.

Liu Hongmei is twenty-one years old this year and is already a grown-up girl.

There are not many unmarried girls of this age in the village, but Liu Hongmei is proud and insists on marrying a city man, which makes her parents very worried.

Everyone could see that she had already fallen in love with Jiang Zhiqing.

However, Jiang Zhiqing had never had such intention towards her before.

Liu Hongmei is also a stubborn person and has waited for so many years.

Unexpectedly, she got what she wanted and Jiang Zhiqing talked to her about finding a partner.

A few days ago, Jiang Zhiqing met Liu Hongmei's parents, and the two families agreed on the wedding date.

It is said that there are two families... In fact, Jiang Zhiqing had no family members to come forward, and he decided to get married alone.

Liu Yinyin didn't expect Jiang Zhiqing to actually marry Liu Hongmei, but it was also a happy event.

She asked Mrs. Liu: "When is the wedding date set?"

As Liu Yinyin's cousin, if she has time, she will go to the wedding. If she joins the army, there will be no way for her to go.

But courtesy still needs to be observed and something should be prepared in advance to be sent over.

Mrs. Liu said, "I'm not sure yet. We'll see after the spring ploughing is over."

It is definitely impossible to hold a banquet during the busy farming season.

Mrs. Liu went on to say, “I heard that after they get married, they will build another house and move out.”

Liu Hongmei is a girl, so she definitely cannot live in her parents' home after marriage. Jiang Zhiqing also has no house, so he has always lived in the Zhiqing camp...

Liu Yinyin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Second sister-in-law, are there any new educated youth in the village?"

When she came back from the county town yesterday, she saw two unfamiliar faces in the village, both girls.

She is fair and clean, and you can tell at first glance that she is not a country girl.

Liu Yinyin didn't think much about it at the time, but when she heard Mrs. Liu mention the educated youth, she suddenly thought of the two girls she met yesterday.

"Yes." Second Sister Liu nodded, and couldn't help but said worriedly, "Three people came at once, all of them were young girls of eighteen or nineteen years old, which made the village chief very worried."

People who come from the city simply don't know how to do farm work.

She is a little girl, very delicate and spoiled, and she finds it tiring to do even a little work in the fields.

The village couldn't support them for free, so everyone was worried.
