After the door opened again, the attitudes of the group of aunts and grandmas suddenly changed. They all had smiles on their faces, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened.
Zhang Xiao'e and Feng Junhui personally brought Si Yang and the others to sit at the table. Also sitting at the table were three other male educated youth from the Corps, who were comrades-in-arms with a good relationship with Feng Junhui.
The dishes on the banquet were very simple, with four bowls for eight people. The base was made of dried tofu shreds, topped with eight slices of white meat, potato strips stewed with vermicelli, and fried tofu cubes, and then a meatball soup.
The staple food is sorghum rice.
This is what is commonly known as the "four legs". People with average conditions hold wedding banquets according to this standard, while those with better conditions have "eight legs" with eight dishes.
When the banquet started, the bride and groom came out together and said a few simple words to announce to their relatives and friends that they were husband and wife.
After finishing his meal, Si Yang went to contribute his share of the money with the other two female educated youth. Si Yang contributed five yuan, while Xiao Meng and An Rong contributed three yuan each. Because they met Zhang Xiaoe after she arrived at the Corps, their friendship was not as deep as Si Yang's.
Si Yang kept his word and, in addition to five dollars, he also gave Zhang Xiaoe a copy of the "Plant Illustrated Book".
In addition, Si Yang pulled Zhang Xiao'e aside and secretly handed her an envelope.
"This is what your mother asked me to bring to you. Take care of yourself!" Si Yang said and turned away.
Zhang Xiao'e was stunned for a moment. When she opened the envelope, she found that there was not a letter inside, but one hundred yuan and a note.
[This money is your retreat...]
After reading it, Zhang Xiaoe's eyes suddenly became moist and her vision became blurred.
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry..."
On the way back to the city, Xiao Meng and An Rong kept complaining that the sorghum rice was not only rough but also astringent. If Zhang Xiao'e had to eat this all the time, how long could she last?
Si Yang smiled and said, "Love is enough, she is happy with it..."
Years ago, Feng Junhui had used his position to issue a certificate of poor health to Zhang Xiao'e, and she applied for a six-month leave.
After the vacation is over and the baby is born, she will be old enough to get a marriage certificate. Then she can go to the Corps to get a marriage certificate.
Zhang Xiao'e is currently staying at her husband's house to take care of her pregnancy, while Si Yang and Xiangcao continue to herd sheep on the pasture.
After the beginning of spring, it is still cold and the sun at noon is not very warm.
The two of them built a fire on the hillside, knitting while warming themselves by the fire. In the afternoons, Si Yang would go to the woods to find saplings and bring them into the space. In the evenings, she would work with Annie to plant trees in the space. Her life was simple yet fulfilling.
After Pei Tingyu left, as long as she was not idle, she would basically not feel empty in her heart.
Everything seemed to return to calm amidst the hustle and bustle.
When I received Pei Tingyu's letter for the fifth time, I thought he would be back soon, but he said in the letter that his mission had changed and he would have to be delayed for another half a year.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't very disappointed, but she didn't have many other emotions either.
In this way, when Pei Tingyu returned to Yangcheng, it was almost the day they had agreed to get their marriage certificate.
In early April, on an ordinary morning, after morning exercises, Captain Wu called her into his office alone.
"Comrade Qin Siyang, you're almost twenty this year, right?"
"Yes, Captain Wu, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly."
Wu Qiyang raised his lips and smiled flatteringly: "Well... I see you're always with that little girl herding sheep. Since you don't have a partner, and I'm single too, why don't you try dating me?"
Si Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Stop joking, Captain. We're not suitable for each other, and I already have a partner."
The smile on Wu Qiyang's face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. "You have a partner? Who is it? How come I don't know?"
Si Yang looked at the man with a righteous look and felt inexplicably disgusted.
"This is my personal problem. There's no need to report it to the company commander, right?" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
