After Jiang Shushu and the other young man finished their meal early, they went to a corner to chat. This way, they would not be affected in developing their relationship, nor would it be considered as leaving early.
Jiang Shushu and the other person smiled at each other and accepted the change of identities well.
"Fiancé, please guide me for the rest of my life."
"Fiancée, please give me guidance for the rest of my life."
…
A group of old people watched two young people whispering. As people who had been through this, they understood the situation. They just took a look and then turned back to continue eating, drinking and chatting.
Jiang Mingwen walked up to Jiang Shushu and the others and pretended to cough, "Cough."
Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei both looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with inquiry - something happened.
If Jiang Mingwen hadn't had to go to work soon and was too busy, he wouldn't have wanted to be this "kerosene lamp".
"You were engaged just now, and I didn't want to ruin your good mood. Now that the wedding is done, I want to tell you about Lin Meimei. After all, she wanted to harm Xiaobei before."
Jiang Shushu was really interested when he heard this. He had wanted to ask Jiang Mingwen about this in the afternoon. "Cousin, I'm quite interested in this."
"Lin Meimei chose to get married, and she was afraid that I would change my mind, so she asked me to get a certificate and go to the Huaxing Brigade at noon." I have never seen anyone who is so eager to get married.
"So urgent? Even if you want to get married, there's no need to rush. Don't have a wedding." It doesn't feel like a good thing to be like this. No matter how fast you go, it'll still take at least three or four days to prepare!
"No, that Wang Ergou is a talented person. Yesterday, Lin Meimei was really disgusted with him, but today she's clamoring to marry him and she's not even willing to wait one more day."
"What's going on? Tell me, cousin." Maybe I can even learn a few tricks.
"I don't know the details, but from what Lin Meimei said, I can probably guess that she seems particularly terrified of being assigned to the mountain villages as an educated youth, as if it were hell on earth. There was only one person from the Huaxing Brigade, Zhang Xinyi, who was assigned to the mountain villages as an educated youth. Someone must be exploiting this incident to make a fuss."
In Lin Meimei's opinion, Wang Ergou is a good man, and it seems that if she marries him, she will have a good life. All this is related to Wang Ergou. Captain Lin and I suspect that he is behind this?
Jiang Shushu: "In such a short time, he was able to find someone to deceive Lin Meimei, and he was able to do it so successfully. Wang Ergou is indeed a talent. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a salesperson."
On the other side, the Huaxing Brigade.
Wang Ergou was delighted to see Lin Meimei, whom he had come to visit, but his face showed an embarrassment: "Lin Zhiqing, do you want to reconsider? My family is poor now and I can't afford a betrothal gift or a decent wedding banquet. Alas, I was eager to save people at that time and didn't consider things comprehensively. I'm very sorry." It was really worth the 4 yuan I spent to hire someone to set up this trap.
Wang Ergou paid 4 yuan to find three eloquent people to deliberately encounter Lin Meimei. One of them was a female educated youth from the Huaxing Brigade. She paid 2 yuan and was responsible for telling the story of Zhang Xinyi, how hard and tiring her life was, and how her life was worse than death...Frightening Lin Meimei to the point of trembling.
Two of them were distant relatives of Wang Ergou. They each spent one dollar, and one of them was responsible for talking about how good Wang Ergou was. He was hardworking, kind, and responsible...
Isn't the family of the one responsible for telling Wang Ergou's story all that great? A mud brick house, a kind-hearted mother-in-law, and although she has a pair of nieces and nephews, the older children are grown up and can help with the housework. When the baby is born, there will be someone to take care of it... Marrying into her family is like falling into a happy nest.
Seeing that Wang Ergou wanted to reject her, Lin Meimei suddenly became anxious, "I have thought it through. I want to marry you. It doesn't matter if there is no betrothal gift. A simple wedding banquet will be fine."
Wang Ergou: "Okay, since you don't despise me, I'll do as you say. Set up a table tonight and invite a few elders to be witnesses." If he didn't have to prepare a table of food and most people were at work, Wang Ergou would have wanted to finish the job right away to avoid any more trouble.
In the afternoon, Wang Ergou invited Lin Dagui, Lin Dayi, and two elders of the Wang family to be witnesses and had a meal with them. Then Lin Meimei officially moved into the Wang family to live with them.
Lin Meimei looked at the house with satisfaction, then looked at Wang Ergou's eldest niece with satisfaction... She imagined the good days in the future when she would have someone to serve her.
Huang Ergou looked at Lin Meimei, who was very happy, with a smile on his lips, imagining that he would have someone to help him at home and outside in the future, and he would be much more relaxed.
After Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei returned to the city in the afternoon, they went to see a movie to celebrate their engagement.
When they parted, Yang Xiaobei took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "Shushu, take this. It represents my 100% sincerity."
"Hasn't the engagement ceremony already been given?"
"I'll give you another one. Originally, I was planning to give 166 for the engagement ceremony, which represents smooth sailing. But you only want 66, which represents everything going well in the future. I respect your customs. But I think 66 is too little and it's unfair to you, so I'll give you another one. It represents my 100% sincerity, and I also hope that we will have a smooth journey in the future. So you accept it. It's exactly two red envelopes, the best of both worlds, and good things come in pairs." Yang Xiaobei racked his brains to get Jiang Shushu to accept the red envelope.
Jiang Shushu: “…” I didn’t expect that he was so superstitious, but I like the thought.
Jiang Shushu took the red envelope with a smile: "Thank you, it's thoughtful. I like it very much."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Okay." After Yang Xiaobei walked 3 meters away, Jiang Shushu said: "Xiaobei, good night, I will miss you." After saying that, Jiang Shushu turned and left.
"I will miss you too." Yang Xiaobei felt full of energy and ran all the way back to the Public Security Bureau dormitory.
The next day, Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei each took a bag of candy to their workplace to distribute it, and then everyone in the Public Security Bureau and the state-owned restaurant Middle East knew that Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei were engaged.
Qian Xiaoni: "Shushu, great! Getting engaged so soon? Wedding candy tastes so sweet. Have you set a date for the wedding?"
"Not yet, no rush." It will have to be next year at the latest, so let's talk about next year's matters next year.
"I don't want you to get married now, you have to settle down so that you have something to look forward to. Counting the days to your wedding one by one is so romantic!" Qian Xiaoni laughed as she spoke.
Jiang Shushu: "..." Look at you, you're such a fangirl. You must feel happy, especially these days, you smile all the time.
"Sister, calm down a bit. We are still at work. You said you see Han Ri every day. Don't act like you've met after a long separation." Others get more nervous as the wedding day approaches, but these two are different. They can't help but count the days on their fingers every day, hating that time passes so slowly.
"But I can't help it. When I think about Han Ri and I getting married in a few days and moving in with him, I get so excited...haha." Finally, they stopped holding hands.
