Zhou Yue’s calculations were very careful, but the aunts in the village were not pushovers either. They were as careful about Zhou Yue as they were about thieves.
Especially those who have boys aged 17 or 18 at home, they would like to hang their sons on their waistbands, for fear that they would be harmed by others if they go out.
After Zhou Yue inquired for a while, she realized that there was no hope by finding those young men.
Then they turned their attention to the widowers whose wives had died or the old bachelors in their thirties who had not yet married.
She actually found one.
The other party was a widower named Lin Xiaoshan. His wife died of complications during childbirth and the child did not survive.
But he had spent all his family savings when he married his first wife, and he still owed some foreign debts when she gave birth to a child.
Many women disliked his poverty and were unwilling to marry him, so he has been living alone for more than ten years.
Zhou Yue also deliberately hung around Lin Xiaoshan for a few days and found that he would not avoid her like the villagers did. Sometimes he would even help her when he saw that Zhou Yue had unfinished work.
She was still struggling with whether or not to take the initiative to talk about dating.
But the village was already filled with rumors.
"I'm telling the truth. I saw it for real. The two of them kissed each other on the mouth."
"Come on, I'd rather believe what that donkey in our village says than what you say."
When it was said before that Su Qing was incontinent and unable to take care of himself at home, he also made such a promise with his chest patted.
The result...
"Believe it or not, don't say I kept it from you when the time comes."
"I think it's a good thing that Zhou Yue is married, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let my son go out."
"Come on, with your son's green bean eyes, bulbous nose, donkey face, and sparse hair, you're the only one who treats him like a treasure."
"What do you care? You think your son is so good-looking? He has the same inverted triangle face as you, with drooping eyebrows. He's unlucky."
"Try saying another one."
"I told you what's going on. You have a gloomy face with droopy eyebrows."
Soon the two aunts started fighting, one pulling my hair and the other scratching your neck, neither of them giving in.
Lin Xiaoshan naturally also heard these rumors.
He was seen standing outside the Youth League Home, tapping his feet anxiously, and bumped into Jiang Lian who was just about to go out.
"Zhou Yue, come out quickly. Your partner is here. Why are you still hiding in the house?"
Zhou Yue was still in the house sewing her quilt.
I don’t know how I slept last night. The places I just sewed last time were kicked open.
Hearing Jiang Lian's voice, she quietly opened the door a crack.
When she saw Lin Xiaoshan, Zhou Yue's heart stopped beating for a moment.
I tidied my clothes and walked towards the door with a nervous mood.
"Um... Zhou Zhiqing, I have something to talk to you about. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Lin Xiaoshan said awkwardly.
"Well, let's go."
As they talked, they walked towards the foot of Dahei Mountain.
"Zhou Yue, don't take people into the woods. They can't stand it." Jiang Lian, who was eager to watch the fun, shouted even after seeing the two of them had walked a distance.
This attracted the villagers who had originally closed their doors to look out.
As for what the two talked about and how they talked about it, no one knows.
All we know is that they got married within two or three days.
There was no wedding banquet, no betrothal gifts or dowry. Zhou Yue rolled up her tattered bedding and moved into Lin Xiaoshan's two unfinished houses. The two of them were considered married.
In the past two or three years, many people from the Youth League have returned to the city.
Those who didn't return have all married and had children in the countryside.
Now there are only six educated youths left in the huge educated youth home.
Two men and four women.
The six of them together have eight hundred ideas.
They often quarrel because you use an extra bucket of water and he uses an extra piece of firewood.
When Zhou Yue was around, everyone could take advantage of her.
Now that Zhou Yue is married, she has to do everything by herself, and the disadvantages are immediately apparent.
"I'm saying, Li Hongmei, do you have no hands or feet? You have a brain stem missing. I finally boiled some water to wash my hair, and you used it to soak your feet. What do you mean?"
Jiang Lian was furious. She wanted to wash her hair before it got dark, as tomorrow was New Year's Eve.
"The water I picked up ran into the pot and boiled on its own. Wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't use it?"
"Are you blind? Can't you see I've been burning the fire here for so long?"
She knew it when Jiang Lian secretly used her water, and she had been waiting for this moment.
Anyway, she insisted that she picked the water herself, so what could Jiang Lian do to her?
"Oh, I don't know. Why don't you use it? It's still scalding hot."
Jiang Lian's face immediately turned sour, and she couldn't breathe a single breath, which got stuck in her throat.
The sour odor of Li Hongmei's feet could be smelled from a long distance away. Asking her to wash her hair with Li Hongmei's foot washing water was just asking for a fight.
Li Hongmei had a bucket of water under the eaves in front of her house. Jiang Lian picked it up and poured it over Li Hongmei from head to toe.
"Jiang Lian, you are sick." Li Hongmei's voice was very sharp, but it was not difficult to hear the trembling in her voice.
"I helped you take a bath, you're welcome."
It was another noisy night, and the noise even reached Su Qing.
…
In the blink of an eye, it is time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
In recent times, the situation outside has become increasingly unclear.
The villagers had to do even things like worshipping their ancestors and burning incense in secret.
If the couplets on the gate had not been changed, there would not be a trace of the New Year atmosphere.
I heard that many college students in big cities have started to join the parade and shout slogans.
