The salesperson said something nice: "This woman is very pretty. My parents-in-law will definitely like her when they see her."

I thought, if there were such good-looking customers coming in every day, I would be motivated to do business.

"How do you sell this dress?"

"Twelve, plus two cloth coupons."

Xie Zhi immediately wanted to take money out of his wallet, but Xu Jiaojiao held him back: "Hubby, you've already bought the wedding dress, I'll pay for it. Mom gave me a lot of money."

Last night, Xu's mother gave her most of the family savings, about 120 yuan, not to mention so many cloth coupons and food coupons.

The warm and smooth touch was like fine jade, and it seemed that he could even smell the fragrance on it, every bit of it penetrating into his flesh and blood. Xie Zhi felt relaxed and happy.

"Jiaojiao, I get paid every month." After Xie Zhi said this, he took out his own money to pay his boss.

His salary as a teacher in the village was not high, only 8 yuan a month. Fortunately, the village would subsidize him with 40 work points, which was enough to equal the labor of a young and middle-aged man.

Xu Jiaojiao felt embarrassed when she thought of this. Ordinary girls of her age would either help with cooking at home or go out to earn work points. On the other hand, she slept until noon every day and even had to be urged by her mother and Xie Zhi to eat.

At this moment, the desire to make a living for myself reached its peak.

"You also bought a wedding dress. It's rare these days." The boss said as he packed the clothes. This man is really good.

"yes."

After they left the store, Xu Jiaojiao refused to buy anything, so Xie Zhi had no choice but to let her drag him away. He would have many opportunities to go back to the city in the future, so there was no need to rush at this moment.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon and they hadn't had lunch yet. Fortunately, they were very full after eating at the state-owned restaurant, so they decided to save some food for when they got home.

Xie Zhi took Jiaojiao to the post office. This was the first time she accompanied him to pick up a package sent by her parents.

The parents were grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Xu for taking in their son, and they were even willing to marry their only daughter. After all, in that era, it was rare for Xie Zhi, who came from a capitalist family, to marry the daughter of a poor peasant. Naturally, they would find ways to send over any good things they had.

Xie Zhi secretly sent a few photos of the two of them to his parents. Xie's mother fell in love with the pretty and lovely Xu Jiaojiao at first sight, and then sent him a lot of new things for girls.

"What's in the letter?"

"Tell our parents we are getting married."

Xu Jiaojiao said "Oh" in understanding, and then the man in green uniform handed over a large package and asked curiously: "No receipt or anything like that is needed."

"I take it often. This comrade has already memorized it."

Xu Jiaojiao was a little surprised when she thought about the full cupboard in her room, which also contained various snacks. It seemed that Xie Zhi’s parents really liked her.

"They kept sending stuff over, and I never sent anything."

Xie Zhi tore off the dirty outer layer of the package, leaving the cleaner inner layer, and smiled: "It's okay, they like you very much."

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head, her ears turned red, and she was very shy.

The two of them took the dishes they ordered from the state-owned restaurant and went to the reserved place. When they arrived, they found that most people had already arrived.

A bunch of young people in the car surrounded Shen Yun, and seemed to be praising how beautiful the dress she was wearing was.

Seeing them coming, the voices became louder, especially from Li Jing, who was good friends with Shen Yun.

She looked at Shen Yun and yelled at Xu Jiaojiao deliberately, "Ayun, this dress really suits you. Fortunately, you didn't listen to Xu Jiaojiao and didn't buy it. I think she is just jealous of your good looks."

Xu Jiaojiao: “…”

When did she stop Shen Yun from buying this dress? But arguing with a fool would make it difficult to tell who is the fool.

Xu Jiaojiao took out the candy her brother had given her in the morning, peeled off the white candy wrapper, and gave one to Xie Zhi first, almost poking her finger into his mouth to take a look.

Xie Zhi's body froze instantly, his eyes fixed on Jiaojiao, he took the candy in his mouth, and deliberately made a low "tsk" sound: "So sweet."

Xu Jiaojiao was bewitched by this man who was releasing his charm all the time. She quickly fed herself one, a sweet milk candy with a strong milky flavor, which was much more authentic than the White Rabbit milk candy of later generations.

Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao ignored them, the girl next to her sneered, "Shen Yun, I think you should listen to Comrade Xu."

Shen Yun's face turned red instantly, and when he saw that the person who spoke was Yang Mei, who had always been at odds with him, he burst out laughing.

There was a blatant mockery in his words: "Oh, Yangmei, you really do not care about your own business. Why don't you think about how to make your mother not marry you off?"

As she spoke, she had an unfathomable expression on her face and waved to everyone. Li Jing came over politely and said, "I heard from my mom that Yang Mei's husband is the son of a manure carrier in the village, hahahaha."

Several young girls burst into laughter and could hardly straighten their backs.

Yang Mei's face instantly changed from rosy to bleak, her long eyebrows drooped, her lips twitched timidly, but in the end she said nothing.

Among these young people, she was the least favored by her parents. Although Shen Yun's family liked their son, they would not sell him for money, unlike herself.

"What's wrong with carrying manure? You earn money in a clean way without stealing or robbing. It's better than some people who just take advantage of others. Don't you think so, Shen Yun?" Xu Jiaojiao suddenly spoke.

"Now that we are liberated and everyone is equal, there are still people who look down on others because of their professions." Xie Zhi also echoed.

Shen Yun was repeatedly criticized, and he could no longer hide his smug look. He snorted coldly, folded his arms and turned away, ignoring any talk back. He secretly swore in his heart that when he became successful one day, he would teach Xu Jiaojiao a lesson.

Yang Mei's gloomy expression met Xu Jiaojiao's dark and bright eyes, and she smiled with forced calmness. She was too dazzling, so dazzling that no one liked her.

It was four o'clock and the car set off on time. After a day of running around, Xu Jiaojiao fell asleep leaning on Xie Zhi's shoulder. Fortunately, they were an engaged couple and they were all from the same village, so no one gossiped about them.

Xie Zhi's back was as straight as a pine tree, like a young poplar. His stiff shoulders felt delicate and soft to the touch, and an alluring fragrance wafted through his nose from time to time.

Just by lowering his eyes slightly he could see the delicate and smooth face and the moist lips. Xie Zhi's Adam's apple slid up and down uncomfortably, and the sticky emotion of joy spread like branches in his chest.

He really liked her so much that Xie Zhi suspected that Xu Jiaojiao was sent by God to torture him. Every inch of her seemed to be grown according to his wishes, tempting him to be obsessed with her.

The girl's moist breath lazily hit Xie Zhi's neck, causing a tingling sensation, and his body felt like it was already on fire.
