Later on, Xu Hongxia's feet hurt from walking and she started crying out again.
When they were tired and thirsty, they saw the peasant in front of them, whom they looked down upon, sitting on a bicycle and drinking soda. They felt so unbalanced and uncomfortable.
But he had been yelled at before, and now he was in a place where there was no village or shop nearby and no one around. He didn't dare to vent his anger at all. He could only sulk alone and go crazy behind his back.
So, Gou Lijuan had to comfort Xu Hongxia, help her carry her luggage, and endure being bullied and despised. Not only did her hands and feet feel like they were not her own, but even her breasts began to ache slightly, and she felt uncomfortable with the anger in her heart.
The two of them walked to the Haha Brigade, exhausted both physically and mentally.
Arriving at the gate of the Youth League Home, the two put down their luggage and smiled happily, thinking that they could finally relax a little, end this "inhuman torture" and have a good rest.
Several educated youths relaxed a lot when they saw the educated youth home so close. After a hard journey, they finally had some smiles on their faces. A group of people followed the captain, watched him push open the door, and followed him in.
The first thing you see is a few tables filled with people.
The most important thing is not these, but the dishes on the table. There are all kinds of meat, and a circle of soda is placed on each table. This luxurious banquet is simply heaven in the eyes of a group of tired and thirsty new educated youth.
The temptation was so great that several people couldn't stop drooling and their eyes were fixed on the dishes.
No one had a good meal during the days of traveling, and Xu Hongxia and Gou Lijuan were no exception. They didn't even move their eyes, but their eyes were shining.
Is this a welcoming banquet prepared for them? Fortunately, this peasant is sensible.
For the first time, Xu Hongxia showed a satisfied smile to the captain in front of her.
"Haha! It smells so good and is so rich!" One educated youth pointed at the meal in front of him and asked happily, "Captain, is this what you prepared for us?"
"What are you thinking? I'm still preparing it for you. You are here to support rural construction, not to enjoy yourself."
Zhao Xiangdong glanced at him speechlessly and pointed at the word "囍" on the window.
"See, that word 'happiness'? Someone is getting married at the Youth Academy, and I'm here to attend the banquet. Why are you following me? Didn't I just show you the way? Go back to the front, I'll say hello and come over."
Only then did they see that the yard was decorated with lights and big red wedding characters were pasted all around.
Xu Hongxia didn't hear what the captain said. She had already aimed at an empty seat at the table and rushed over and sat down without any hesitation.
As soon as his buttocks landed, Aunt Yang, who was serving the food, grabbed the back of his collar and lifted him up.
"Hey, who are you? Which team are you from? Do you know any etiquette? You come and sit here to eat without following etiquette. Come on, come on, don't sit here and take up a seat, blocking me from serving the food."
Xu Hongxia exclaimed, "Ah, what are you doing!"
Yang Mumu, Gu Xingzhou and Shen Xingci, who were standing in the room observing the situation outside, smiled playfully.
He Yuan, who was standing next to him, looked outside curiously and said, "That's the vicious stepmother and that Xu Hongxia. They don't look like good people."
Shen Xingci continued, "That's right. We have to watch their expressions carefully later."
I'm really looking forward to how the two people outside will react when they find out who hosted this banquet and what kind of banquet it is.
Outside, Zhao Xiangdong heard the voice and looked over. He saw that it was Xu Hongxia again, and he felt really annoyed.
What the hell is this? He is so old, not to mention his bad temper, but how come he doesn’t have any sense at all and just sits down casually.
Zhao Xiangdong walked over and forcefully pulled the man over, saying in a cold voice:
"This is someone else's wedding banquet, not a place for you to act wildly. If you cause trouble, the people at these tables will not forgive you. If you cause public outrage, I will not help you. You deserve to be beaten."
The two times Xu Hongxia was lifted up, she already felt the disparity in power between them. Seeing a bunch of tall and big guys around her looking at her, she was frightened by these words and immediately stood still, not daring to move.
Gou Lijuan supported the person and comforted him in a low voice.
The other three educated youths behind him touched their deflated stomachs and looked at what was happening before them, their minds starting to race.
One of the female comrades walked up to the captain and spoke sincerely.
"Captain, can you introduce the bride and groom to each other? We are both educated youth, so it's fate. Today is our first day here and we just happened to meet. It's fate on top of fate. I also want to share in the good fortune and give a gift."
"I want to meet you, too, Captain. Please."
Once one educated youth said this, a second one would follow, and even more would be excited. The newly arrived educated youth would all look at the captain expectantly.
They really wanted to have a ready-made meal and didn't want to cook by themselves. They had just arrived and there was nothing to eat. If they cooked by themselves, they didn't know when they would be able to eat. And after seeing such a luxurious banquet with so much fish and meat, who could eat the dirty pickled rice they made? Who wouldn't be thinking about the delicious meat?
Gou Lijuan and Xu Hongxia could not help but look at Zhao Xiangdong. They smelled the aroma of food coming from all around them, and their stomachs rumbled. They both wanted to sit down and have this meal. As long as they could have it, it didn't matter if they gave a little more gift.
In the house.
"It's our turn now."
Yang Mumu handed Gu Xingzhou a firework and pinned her own firework on her chest.
After tidying up, Gu Xingzhou took Yang Mumu's hand and walked out with a smile on his face.
Shen Xingci and He Yuan were intently watching Gou Lijuan and Xu Hongxia from behind, ready to cooperate with the performance when needed.
Here, Zhao Xiangdong saw someone coming out and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, I'll introduce you to each other, but I'm not sure what to say about today's protagonist. Here, the bride and groom are up front, you can go get to know each other and talk to each other yourself."
Everyone behind the captain looked over.
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a perfect match!"
The female educated youth who spoke first sighed this and walked forward with a smile on her face.
"Hello, I'm the new educated youth, Xie Mei. I heard from the team leader that you are getting married today. Congratulations. You two are so beautiful. You are the best-looking couple I have ever seen. It is such a coincidence that I came to the countryside today and met such a well-matched couple like you getting married. We are so destined. Can I attend your wedding banquet to share in your happiness?"
As she spoke, Xie Mei took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it over.
"This is my gift money."
Yang Mumu felt even happier after hearing those nice words.
"I'm Yang Mumu, and this is my husband Gu Xingzhou. Meeting is fate, of course it's okay."
Yang Mumu smiled and nodded at her, took the money and handed it to He Yuan behind her to record it in the gift book, then pointed to the empty table on the left and said:
"It just so happens that they have an extra table ready over there. The meal starts at 5:30. It's 5:15 now. You can go to the front and drop off your luggage and come over so we can start eating."
"Okay, I wish you a happy marriage, Mumu. I'll go put the luggage down first. I'm leaving now. See you later." Xie Mei was also very outgoing. She excitedly shook Yang Mumu's hand, picked up her luggage and ran to the front yard.
When the two educated youths behind saw that Xie Mei was able to have a meal so easily, they quickly took out money and ran up to congratulate her with a smile.
Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou both agreed, and they sat at the same table. The two educated youths excitedly followed Xie Mei to put down their luggage and prepare for the feast.
A member nearby was shocked, "Huo, these new educated youths are all rich. They just gave 1 yuan to each of them when they first met."
"This is our fate." One of the educated youth turned around and replied, then ran forward at a faster pace, eager to eat the meal.
I gave them a gift when we just met. Although it's a bit much, the meal was great and they were eager to eat it, so it was not a loss at all. With such a sumptuous table, it would be a good deal if I eat more.
Suddenly, there were only two people left behind Zhang Xiangdong who had not moved forward. He turned his gaze towards them.
