Fang Wanzhi helped Luo Xiaowei put her hair up, shaped her eyebrows, and changed her into new clothes, making her look beautiful.
Yan Xiaosong borrowed a bicycle to pick up Luo Xiaowei.
When he saw Luo Xiaowei's appearance, his eyes widened and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
This caused the aunties watching the commotion to burst into laughter.
Yan Xiaosong took Luo Xiaowei from the educated youth compound back to his newly built house.
Everything was ready in the new house after Yan Xiaosong brought his bride home.
The two simply read a quote in front of everyone, and that was the end of the ceremony.
That evening, Luo Xiaowei told Yan Xiaosong about Li Damin's gift-giving.
Yan Xiaosong: "Xiaowei, I told you I don't mind your relationship with Li Damin."
"Exactly, isn't this gift too much? What should we give in return?"
Luo Xiaowei said, "Let's send it back after he gets married!"
Yan Xiaosong opened the cabinet and handed a stack of money to Luo Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, since you have the ration coupons, let's buy the sewing machine back!"
Luo Xiaowei counted the money; there was a total of 260 yuan.
She asked Yan Xiaosong, "How do you have so much money? You built a house, gave me 88 yuan, and now you have all this money."
Yan Xiaosong counted on his fingers as he told Luo Xiaowei:
"I saved it all up little by little, and part of it came from the money distributed by the village over the past few years."
Part of it was money we shared when we went hunting together before.
Another portion is the subsidy for driving a tractor.
Everything's here; I've saved it all up to marry you.
Luo Xiaowei was touched; this man was someone who could settle down and make a good life for her.
She said, "Let's keep this money for our daily lives. Why waste it on a sewing machine!"
Yan Xiaosong: "I think you like it, so you should buy it. Anyway, we have the tickets. I see the Yan family has two, so buying one won't be a loss."
Luo Xiaowei put the money away and said, "No rush, I'll go to the Yan family tomorrow and ask my sister-in-law."
After finishing the important business, Yan Xiaosong felt nervous and excited, thinking that it was his wedding night, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
Luo Xiaowei was also a little shy.
Both of them were novices and had no experience in this area.
Luo Xiao smiled and said, "Silly girl," before getting onto the kang (heated brick bed).
Yan Xiaosong quickly got onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and climbed into his wife's bed.
Although he had been pursuing Luo Xiaowei for more than two years, this was the first time the two had even kissed.
After a long and bumpy night, the two finally succeeded. Yan Xiaosong, having tasted the sweetness, wanted to continue, but Luo Xiaowei kicked him.
Luo Xiaowei said, "I don't feel well."
Yan Xiaosong quickly pulled Luo Xiaowei into his arms: "Let me rub it for you."
...
The next day, Yan Xiaosong took his wife to the Yan family to find Bai Xiaoyue.
Luo Xiaowei had lived in the Yan family's house for a period of time and was very familiar with the place.
Yan Xiaosong said to Yan Ci, "Brother, I brought my wife here to freeload a meal."
Yan Ci nodded to him and said, "Come with me to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables."
Bai Xiaoyue pulled Luo Xiaowei aside and said, "Xiaowei, let them go about their business, let's sit down for a while."
Chang Le has already graduated and is at home. Ru Yi pulled her to the kitchen.
Luo Xiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Song always says that Yan Ci is like his brother and has helped him a lot. He told me to come and ask you if I have any questions."
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "What's wrong? Are you two encountering problems right after getting married?"
Luo Xiaowei: "I just wanted to ask my sister-in-law for help in making a decision."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Xiaowei, tell me, what's wrong?"
Luo Xiaowei said generously, "Li Damin gave me a sewing ticket, and Xiaosong told me to buy it back, but I'm a little reluctant to spend the money."
Bai Xiaoyue clapped her hands: "That's great! You see, last time when we were rushing to make clothes, there weren't enough sewing machines in the village."
Luo Xiaowei said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just think it's too expensive."
Bai Xiaoyue said, "Xiaowei, the village might be setting up a garment factory. People who have sewing machines will definitely have a better chance."
Luo Xiaowei was delighted: "Really? Then I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
During their conversation, Luo Xiaowei also told Bai Xiaoyue about discovering that Li Xinru had injuries.
The two were united in their anger and scolded Li Xinru for a long time, feeling that she had brought it upon herself.
At noon, Luo Xiaowei insisted on cooking herself, saying she wanted to cook a special dish for the family to try.
Bai Xiaoyue stopped her, saying, "There's no reason to let guests cook. The children are busy, so you can sit here and relax."
Chang Le stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Ruyi cooked Mapo Tofu and smashed a cucumber.
Ruyi said, "Aunt Luo, try my Mapo Tofu and see if it's delicious."
After tasting it, Luo Xiaowei gave Ruyi a thumbs up: "Delicious, even better than what I make."
The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests, and Luo Xiaowei and Yan Xiaosong went home satisfied.
At the Yan family home that evening, Bai Xiaoyue asked Yan Ci, "Ci, do you want to know why this couple came to our door?"
Yan Ci had already heard Yan Xiaosong explain it, and to play along with his wife, he asked, "Why?"
Bai Xiaoyue talked on and on for a long time.
Yan Ci asked, "Wife, your uncle hasn't agreed to set up the factory yet. If it doesn't work out, will he blame you later?"
Bai Xiaoyue said confidently, "It can definitely be done. Who wouldn't want to do something that makes money? It's just that it's hard to arrange the personnel right now."
Yan Ci: "What are you thinking?"
Bai Xiaoyue: "I was thinking that my mother, Mingyue, and Ruyi could all work in the factory."
If Mom has something to do, she doesn't have to work hard in the fields to earn work points.
Mingyue could work in a factory, but it wouldn't be that hard.
Ruyi only graduated from primary school, and she didn't want to study.
We can't keep her at home doing housework forever. Let her go to the factory to get some experience and learn a trade; that will be a way out for her in the future.
Yan Ci asked his wife, "Chang Le has graduated, aren't you going to consider it?"
Bai Xiaoyue said, "Changle, she graduated from high school. If she really wants to go, she's willing to do anything. Her uncle will definitely agree."
I actually hope she can stay home and study. She still has four years until the college entrance exam, and I want her to go to university.
I've been in high school for two years now, and I haven't fully grasped a lot of the material. I need to practice more.
I'll pick it up again when I have time, and study with her. I hope she can get into a good university.
Yan Ci then asked, "And what about yourself?"
Bai Xiaoyue winked at Yan Ci, a smile playing on her lips: "Me? I won't do anything. I'll just cook for you every day and wait for you to come home, okay?"
Yan Ci kissed his wife's forehead and whispered, "I couldn't ask for this!"
Before long, the village's garment factory was established, with three small workshops built at the entrance of the village.
Just as Bai Xiaoyue had expected, there were no tickets available in the village to buy sewing machines. Those who had sewing machines at home and knew how to sew could go to work in the factory.
Bai Xiaoyue went to Li Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, why don't you go work at the garment factory? You can bring one of my sewing machines with you."
Li Mingyue was delighted: "Really?"
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
Li Mingyue excitedly ran out to find Wang Weiguo, leaving Bai Xiaoyue alone at home.
