Chapter 57 Chapter 57

There were five tables for the evening banquet. The eldest and second Shens were upset about their grandson being sent to the police station for stealing bricks. They would not attend any of the Seventh Shens' families, whether they were building a new house or marrying off their daughter. However, Shen Chunfen came to the Third Shens' family.

Shen Chunfang and Shen Chunfen were sisters. Shen Chunfang was older, 25 years old, and married to the Shangxu Brigade, which was a few dozen miles away from the Yangliu Brigade. Shen Chunfen was one year younger than Shen Moer and had no partner yet.

Cao Mei had broken up with Tian Fang after she stole food last time, but she was not fooled by Tian Fang anymore. She was now close to Guozhu's wife, who lived in the same village as her mother's family. Shen Guozhu is a relative of the Shen family and the captain of the seventh team. The couple is very methodical in their work. For example, it was Guozhu's wife who brought Shen Chunfen here this time.

Guozhu's wife persuaded Cao Mei that the Shen Laoqi family was about to rise, and Shen Laoqi had a gentle temperament and Shen Moer was also a kind person. Such relatives should be properly interacted with.

Cao Mei didn't listen to anything else, but she did hear that the Shen Laoqi family was rising. She couldn't lose face, so she simply let Guozhu's wife bring Shen Chunfen here.

Although Shen Moer disliked Cao Mei, after all, she had taken away the original owner's food, which directly led to the tragic death of the original owner's father and daughter. She was not the original owner, but since she had replaced the original owner's identity, she would definitely not forgive Cao Mei. However, she had no opinion on Shen Chunfen.

Because she knew that Shen Chunfen was as timid as a mouse and never dared to hurt anyone. Moreover, once she met the original owner in the field with a stomachache due to hunger, she secretly gave the original owner a corn.

So Shen Chunfen came to the wedding with Guozhu's wife, and Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan didn't say anything, just thinking that there was one more person among the same clan relatives.

Someone also came to Shen Xianghong's family, the youngest of her family, Lu Xiaoqin. Her family was the same as Shen Laosan's family, with three brothers and sisters, an older brother and two younger sisters.

Lu Xiaoqin is one year younger than Shen Chunfen, but her grandmother is a textile factory worker, and her father is also a temporary worker in the textile factory. The conditions at home are much better than those in the countryside. Maybe it's because of the better nutrition, she looks older than the skinny Shen Chunfen.

The others are relatives of the Shen family, and people in the village who have a good relationship with Shen Shaoyuan and his daughter.

Oh, and there are also some guests in the commune, including Shen Shaoyuan's colleagues at the kiln factory, people from other units that Shen Shaoyuan knows at work, He Mingda, a teacher from the commune primary school who went to the provincial capital with Shen Moer, and Bao Ge and Qiao Jie.

At first, some people thought that setting up five tables for the party would be too much, after all, the closest families didn't come. In the end, it was a bit crowded, because more people from the commune came than Shen Shaoyuan expected.

Shen Shaoyuan called some people out of courtesy, such as the leader in charge of the propaganda department of the factory. He was originally thought not to come, but he came.

But it wasn't too much, just a little squeeze.

The members of the Yangliu Brigade were enlightened. When had they ever eaten with the leaders of the state-owned factory and the cadres of the commune?

I heard that Shen Laoqi was doing well in the kiln factory, but there is a difference between hearing and seeing with one's own eyes. Didn't you see that the deputy director of the kiln factory and the head of the publicity department kept praising Shen Laoqi. They really valued Shen Laoqi, a capable general!

Zhou Mancang and Zhou Peijun were also praised a few times, which excited them and made them drink a few more cups of wine.

In short, some people in the village who were jealous of Shen Laoqi's family muttered behind their backs that there would definitely not be many people at Shen Laoqi's party and the scene would definitely not be good. However, the party was lively and noisy, and the guests enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet was over, a few young men stayed to make some noise in the bridal chamber and then left.

After all, they were all relatives and friends of the bride's family, so they would naturally be more considerate of the bride and would not make a scene like some other groups.

Shen Shaoyuan drank quite a lot tonight, and as soon as the guests left, he washed up a bit and went back to his room to sleep with the clatter of his heels.

Fu Mingze also drank quite a bit, but Aunt Chen, an old sparrow from Dongting Lake, mixed a lot of water into his wine, and everyone was cautious, fearing that the groom would get drunk, so overall he was actually fine.

Shen Moer also drank a little, but less than Fu Mingze, almost negligible.

The young couple now lives in the newly built room. Originally, this room had two rooms, front and back. Shen Shaoyuan thought it was inconvenient to live in the front and back rooms with two young people, so he continued to live in the original room. Living separately will make everyone quieter, and it will be convenient whether they want to go into the treasure house to get something or hide something in the house.

It’s not that they treat Fu Mingze as an outsider, but the experience of the father and daughter is too bizarre, especially in this world where feudal superstitions are not allowed and the "Four Olds" must be "destroyed". They are definitely both feudal and superstitious, and "Four Olds", so it’s better not to expose it if it can be avoided.

Shen Moer sat in front of the desk and combed her hair in front of the mirror. She was wearing a set of pajamas made of cotton cloth from the treasure house. The white cotton cloth was dyed with mottled green with wormwood, which looked like green ink splashed on the cloth.

Fu Mingze walked in carrying a thermos and placed it in the corner. When he looked up, he saw Shen Moer with her long black hair and her pajamas like an ink painting. He suddenly had an illusion that his wife was like a lady from an ancient novel. She had a quiet and gentle temperament sitting there.

This feeling came inexplicably, and Fu Mingze was stunned for a moment.

Shen Moer looked back at him and asked curiously, "What are you doing there?"

Fu Mingze came to his senses and said, "Nothing."

He turned around and closed the door, then walked over and took the comb from Shen Moer's hand, "I'll comb it for you."

Shen Moer's hair was very smooth, black and shiny. In fact, when she first came to this world, her body had changed a little. She became skinny, with sunken cheeks and dry hair. She looked like a poor little thing who was starving to death. Later, she gradually recovered. To outsiders, it seemed that her family conditions had improved and she had enough food to eat, so she gradually gained weight. But in fact, she slowly returned to her original body shape.

Her hair was well-maintained to begin with, and now it is almost the same as before.

Fu Mingze carefully combed her hair with a wooden comb. Her hair was very smooth, and the comb reached the ends of her hair in one go. It had a soft texture like satin, and a faint fragrance could be smelled.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her on the top of her head. Shen Moer saw his movements in the mirror and her face suddenly turned red.

Fu Mingze looked at her in the mirror, then gently placed the comb on the desk. With a light click, Shen Moer subconsciously turned her head to look sideways, and suddenly felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and he leaned over and kissed her.

A patient and lingering kiss, as gentle as the moonlight filtering in from the window.

The man was obviously not satisfied with this, and the kiss gradually became deeper and deeper.

Shen Moer leaned back slightly, her body posture was a little awkward, causing her to unconsciously reach out and climb onto Fu Mingze's shoulders, and then Fu Mingze grabbed her waist and hugged her.

The man's hot palm pressed against her waist through the thin fabric. Shen Moer shuddered slightly, and a soft hum escaped from the corner of her lips unconsciously.

Fu Mingze's breathing stagnated, and the passion between his lips and teeth became increasingly hot and strong, and he began to attack her more wantonly.

The slightly cool air of the autumn night seemed to suddenly become hot. Shen Moer's body went limp, and her ears were filled with a heavy and intense heartbeat, which was her own, and the increasingly heavy breathing, which was Fu Mingze's.

The hot kiss followed the corner of her lips all the way to the base of her ears, itching so much that her toes curled up unconsciously. Shen Moer heard the man's hoarse and low voice: "Let's go to bed." She

was shocked, and her ears became hot.

Fu Mingze easily picked her up and put her on the bed covered with dark red bedding. Her dark hair was scattered on the red sheets, her fair skin, rosy lips, and misty eyes had a breathtaking beauty.

After a deep look, Fu Mingze lowered his head and kissed her again.

Soon, the pajamas like an ink painting were thrown at the end of the bed. The girl's fair and slender arms pressed weakly on the man's shoulders. She squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the man's handsome eyebrows, and sweat kept dripping from her beautiful jaw.

"Fu Mingze."

She panted and frowned slightly.

"Yeah."

He reached out and picked her up, touched her with his sweaty forehead, and leaned over to kiss her again amid her sobbing protests.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but the light in the room didn't go out for a long time.

*

When Shen Moer woke up the next day, it was already daybreak. She blinked and turned her head to look at the other side of the bed. It was empty.

Fu Mingze had gotten up without her knowing when.

Her consciousness gradually became clearer, and some fragments of last night flashed through her mind. Shen Moer suddenly felt her face getting hot. She grabbed the quilt and covered her head to cover her ears. Not long after, she poked her head out of the quilt again.

It was too stuffy.

Fortunately, she didn't face Fu Mingze the moment she opened her eyes, otherwise she would be so embarrassed.

Thinking of him whispering some weird words in her ear to coax her last night, Shen Moer couldn't help but secretly cursed him as a pervert.

Her body was a little sore, but Shen Moer got up quickly.

She had just put on her dress when Fu Mingze came in. Seeing that she was already up, he was stunned and said, "Today is Sunday, why don't you sleep in a little longer?"

Seeing Shen Moer picked up the comb to comb her hair, he naturally took the comb to help: "Do you want to braid your hair, or just leave it loose?"

Shen Moer couldn't help but think of last night again. Her face felt like it was on fire. She slapped his hand and snatched the comb back. Fu Mingze raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Shen Moer asked, "Can you braid your hair?"

Fu Mingze honestly said "No", and then said, "I can learn."

Shen Moer glanced at him sideways, with a little red in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which made Fu Mingze feel itchy in his heart, and he couldn't help but go over to steal a kiss.

The young couple quarreled for more than ten minutes before they finally left the room.

Shen Shaoyuan got up very early. When Shen Moer got up, he had already had breakfast. He didn't stay at home for long before he strolled out.

As a father-in-law, he couldn't bear to see the newlyweds being so lazy, so he went out to chat with them and listen to the excitement of Shen Laoer's family.

It is said that his cheap niece came back from the commune late at night yesterday on her own.

The reason was that there was such a commotion at the entrance of the village yesterday, and the relatives of the Zhang family went back and told Zhang's mother about it. Zhang's mother didn't get angry at the time, but after the banquet was over, she didn't care about the young couple's wedding night, and directly scolded them for most of the night. Shen

Lingling was not someone who could bear to be bullied. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed Zhang Junliang's bicycle and rode back to Yangliu Brigade. Zhang Junliang was not as desperate as his mother. In the middle of the night, he was still afraid that his newlywed wife might encounter some danger on the road, so he borrowed a bicycle from his brother and chased after them.

In the dead of night, the couple entered the village one after the other and were almost caught as thieves by the patrolling militia. Later, they entered Shen Laoer's house and there was another chaos.

Thanks to Shen Laoer and his wife's eloquence, they persuaded the couple with emotional and logical appeals.

Originally, the couple was going to live in Yangliu Brigade, and the rooms were ready. Although they had planned to spend their wedding night in the commune, they decided not to rush around in the middle of the night, so they slept directly in Yangliu Brigade.

In the morning, Tian Fang tried to cover up the truth, saying that they had agreed to stay in Yangliu Brigade overnight, as there were not enough places to stay in the commune. Unfortunately, the naughty child at home was not careful, and the truth was revealed by a few words, so the news quickly spread in the village.

"They just can't figure things out. They have to hold the wedding banquet on the same day as Mo'er. They are trying to stand out. If they hadn't chosen such a day, how could the two parties bump into each other at the entrance of the village?"

"No, what's going on between Shen Lingling and Zhang Zhiqing? Zhang Zhiqing looks quite stable, but how could he be so wild when drunk? Hey, we were at Lao Qi's house at the time, not far away, so why didn't we go and take a look?"

"There are a lot of us here, and everyone was working and chatting, so they didn't pay attention to the outside. I heard that the people from the Zhang family who came to pick up the bride were chased by Zhang Zhiqing like rabbits and were running around everywhere. It's a pity that we didn't see them."

"Zhang Zhiqing likes Shen Lingling. I heard that after chasing after the Zhang family members yesterday, Zhang Zhiqing was kidnapped back to the educated youth point and started crying. She cried so hard that it was heartbreaking to hear about it. Hehe, this is not what I said, it was said by Zheng Zhiqing."

"What's wrong with Shen Lingling? Does she have to grab anyone with the surname Zhang? Zhang Zhiqiang, Zhang Junliang, you mention it, it sounds a bit like her."

"Hey, you mention it, it's true. Speaking of which, our Yangliu Brigade is going to be famous. The groom was chased and beaten on the way to pick up the bride. There is no such thing in this area. Tsk, you say we were so close and we didn't see it."

After all, it was a pity that we didn't see the excitement with our own eyes.

Shen Shaoyuan mixed with a group of uncles and aunts, but he didn't think it was a big deal to listen to their gossip about his niece.

There was no good person in Shen Laoer's family. They had done something wrong and had to bear the corresponding consequences.

Take Zhang Zhiqiang's case, for example. If Shen Lingling hadn't kept him hanging and gave him hope, he wouldn't have gone crazy after drinking a little.

Shen Shaoyuan had seen too many women using their beauty to seduce men to achieve certain goals. It

was not uncommon in the palace and among the rich and powerful families.

But they were in a "feudal dynasty" after all, and women mostly depended on men for their lives, and sometimes they had no choice. In this world today, there are still many people who favor boys over girls, but Shen Shaoyuan couldn't understand why Shen Lingling, who at least had a job and a decent family, still resorted to such tricks.

In the end, it was all her own fault.

Even if Shen Lingling and Zhang Junliang hadn't deliberately provoked Shen Moli yesterday, those things that happened later might not have happened.

"Hey, the captain is back so soon?" someone suddenly said.

The place where this group of people were chatting was under the big banyan tree in the village. The weather was cool, and it was quite comfortable to bask in the sun outside during the day.

They had been sitting here all morning, watching Zhou Mancang ride his bike out, and how come he came back so soon?

"Seventh Brother, where is your Moer?" Zhou Mancang shouted from a distance.

Shen Shaoyuan: "At home."

Where else could they be? The young couple got up and had breakfast and then read in the yard in the sun. You patted me and I pinched you, which was annoying.

Zhou Mancang: "Okay, let's go to your house."

Shen Shaoyuan stood up lazily: "If you want to find Moer, why don't you go directly to your house? Why did you come into the village in a hurry?"

Zhou Mancang said awkwardly: "Didn't I see you here before, and I was afraid of disturbing the newlyweds."

Shen Shaoyuan clicked his tongue.

Someone couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Captain, you look so happy, is there any good news?"

Zhou Mancang is usually a bit serious, but today he is so happy that he can't help but smile, but he just frowned and refused to say: "I have to tell Mo'er first, and then notify everyone."

As he said that, he glanced at Aunt Chen who was mending clothes and chatting: "If you are curious, go to Lao Qi's house and listen."

It seems that there is really good news?

Anyway, they are free, so many people packed up and followed.

A group of people walked to the entrance of the village. Several naughty children who were squatting on the ground watching ants moving beans immediately clapped their hands and followed. On the way, they met other people in the village. Everyone heard that there was a commotion, even if they didn't know what the commotion was, many people followed.

It's lively, and both adults and children like it. Besides, they have

nothing to do.

When Fu Mingze opened the door and saw such a large group of people, he was stunned: "Captain, where are you?"

Zhou Mancang: "Little Fu, is Moer here?"

Since she married a village member, she is a member of their Yangliu Brigade, so she is naturally not called Fu Zhiqing. Zhou Mancang still admired Fu Mingze very much and called him Little Fu very affectionately.

"Yes, everyone come in first." Fu Mingze raised his eyebrows and called, "Wife, the captain is looking for you."

Shen Shaoyuan, who was walking slowly behind and just walked to the door of his house, heard Fu Mingze calling his wife so smoothly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Captain?" Shen Moer came out of the house and was startled to see so many people in the yard. "What's going on?"

Zhou Mancang, who had been pretending to be calm, suddenly became excited when he saw Shen Moer. His voice rose eight degrees: "Moer, the results of the provincial capital competition are out. We won the second prize in the province. Two people in our team won the second prize in the province!"

"What?!" Before Shen Moer could say anything, Aunt Chen, who had come over to watch the excitement, suddenly jumped over: "Captain, you said two second prizes in the province. Did our Maomao also win a second prize?!"

Zhou Mancang laughed: "Yes, Maomao won a second prize, Zhaodi also won a second prize, our brigade has two second prizes! The highest in the whole county, no, the whole city is two second prizes! Our Yangliu Brigade is really setting a satellite this time!!!"

"Ahhh, Maomao, oh, my dear grandson, you have made great progress!!!"

Aunt Chen is usually very stable, but today is not an ordinary situation. The highest in the city is a second prize. Rounding it off, their Maomao is one of the two most powerful children in the city!

This is truly, an honor to the family!!!

Maomao, who was lying on the ground watching ants a few minutes ago, suddenly stood up straight, with his chest puffed out and his hands on his hips, laughing: "I said I performed very well! I'm really awesome!!"

"Yes, yes, my darling grandson is really awesome, but the best is still Moer, hey, Moer, how come you are so awesome, oh my God!!!" Aunt Chen is not a person who usually dotes on her children, but now she agrees with whatever her grandson says.

"This is too amazing, my God, the children of our brigade primary school can actually win the second prize in the province. Those commune primary schools, the Dongfanghong Primary School in the county, and the primary schools in the city are not as amazing as ours?!"

"Oh my god, our Yangliu Brigade is really famous this time. What is the groom planning to do when being chased by others? This is a shameful thing. This is really an honor-making thing!"

"Don't mention it, a lot of people knew about the last time we won an award in the city. My sister-in-law even asked me, saying that our brigade primary school is better than theirs, and whether she can let my little nephew come to our brigade to study. Oh, she usually looks down on my family, and it's rare for her to say something good to me!"

Everyone talked at once.

This is not only an honor for the two children, but also an honor for their team, and it is related to every member of their team! They

won an award in the province, and they can brag about it for at least three years!

Everyone is honored and excited.

Zhou Mancang was also very happy. His black face flushed with excitement. He said loudly: "The provincial award certificates and prizes have been sent to the county. I just went to the commune, and Secretary Geng of the commune told me personally that our county has achieved very good results this time. The county will hold a grand commendation meeting, and the county head will personally present awards to Maomao, Zhaodi, Moer and our team!"

Oh my god, there is still a commendation meeting!

This is true, their Yangliu Brigade is going to be famous in the whole county!
