Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness
Chapter 18 Engagement
Li Fangfei took the candy ticket and money, and weighed the candies deftly, glancing at Geng Changshuo from time to time.
After weighing it, she did not rush to hand the candy to Geng Changshuo, but instead started chatting with him:
"Comrade, which village are you from? Why are you buying things from us?"
"I am an educated youth from this village." Where can I buy things here?
"Are you an educated youth from here? Stop joking. I know all the educated youths here. There is no one like you."
"My last name is Geng!"
Geng Changshuo was very impatient, because he knew that as long as he removed his beard, these women would look at him with hooks in their eyes.
"Oh, I remember now. You are Geng Changshuo, the educated youth, right? I didn't expect that your beard would grow so handsome after you went there. Do you have a girlfriend? How about I introduce one to you?"
Li Fangfei heard him say "his surname is Geng", but there was only one person with the surname Geng in the educated youth site, and that was Geng Changshuo.
Seeing the salesperson chattering endlessly, Geng Changshuo coughed lightly and said, "Comrade, hurry up, I have something else to do."
"Oh, oh, this is your candy. Do you want to order something else? What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"
"Give me two more kilograms of cake, two kilograms of peach cakes, two kilograms of fruit candies, and two kilograms of red dates. I want to propose marriage."
"Which family should we go to to propose marriage?" Li Fangfei asked while weighing things for Geng Changshuo.
"Doctor Wei's house." Geng Changshuo was suddenly no longer in a hurry. He wanted to share his joy with everyone he met.
"Oh, Doctor Wei's house. Not bad, not bad."
Li Fangfei said it was good, but she felt a little regretful in her heart, and wanted to tell her sister Li Fanghua that it was hers. Now this idea was shattered.
Li Fangfei no longer had the desire to continue talking. She quickly packed up the things Geng Changshuo wanted, collected the money, and went about her own business.
Geng Changshuo didn't care at all. He took the things and happily went to the captain's house.
He pushed open the captain's door and walked in. The captain who opened the door was shocked:
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Captain, I'm looking for you." Geng Changshuo replied.
When the captain heard the voice, he knew it was Geng Changshuo and said in surprise, "Geng Zhiqing, you look so handsome after shaving your beard. Don't grow a beard in the future, or you'll lose your wife."
Geng Changshuo smiled embarrassedly: "Captain, I won't stay if I get married. I came here just to ask you to propose marriage to me."
As he spoke, Geng Changshuo first took out half a pound of brown sugar specially prepared for the captain's family and handed it to the captain's wife, and then handed four gifts and one hundred yuan to the captain.
The captain readily agreed: "Which girl?"
He has always been optimistic about Geng Changshuo, believing that this child is generous, steady, honest and loyal, and the most worldly-wise among these educated youth.
Although he had no parents at home, as an educated youth he could support himself. As a man, he was responsible and capable and could fully support his family.
There was no girl of the right age in his family. If there was, he would have adopted the child as his son-in-law long ago.
"Doctor Wei's family, didn't Comrade Wei cancel the engagement?"
"Oh, you mean Yuchen. Well, that girl is pretty good. Okay, go back and wait. I'll go to her house and ask her."
"Okay, Captain." Geng Changshuo agreed and turned away.
After Geng Changshuo closed the door and walked away, the captain's wife said, "Yuchen is such a lucky girl. She just retired Yang Dashu and now Geng Zhiqing is here."
"That girl is a blessing in disguise. Brother Da Kui wanted to quit Yang Dashu a long time ago, but that girl was confused. I don't know what she liked about that boy. She liked him so much! Fortunately, she has come to her senses now."
The captain and Wei Yikuei are cousins within the fifth degree of mourning, and he has a good relationship with Wei Yikuei, so he naturally hopes that Wei Yuchen can marry into a good family.
A few days ago, I was worried about this eldest niece. She had broken off the engagement, lost her innocence, and was a little unruly, making it difficult to find a husband. But now a ready-made one has appeared. It's like someone giving me a pillow when I'm sleepy.
The team leader took the four gifts and one hundred yuan prepared by Geng Changshuo and went to the village clinic.
Wei Yikui had only one daughter at home and had almost nothing to do, so he stayed in the clinic from morning to night. When the team leader arrived, he had already opened the door.
Seeing the captain coming over with a few gifts in his hands, he guessed what was going on, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Dashan, why are you here so early? What's the matter?"
"Good news, Brother Yikui, I want to find a matchmaker for Chenchen..." Then, the captain explained his purpose to Wei Yikui:
"...Brother, I think Changshuo is a good kid. He is capable and honest. He is more reliable than the big tree in the Yang family."
"I also know Geng Zhiqing, but I still need to think about this matter."
"Okay, you have to hurry up and think about it. Brother Yikui, I'm telling you, Geng Zhiqing looks very handsome after shaving his beard. If you don't hurry up, someone might snatch him away."
Wei Yikui certainly knew what Geng Zhiqing was like now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be quick and give you an answer in the evening."
The captain did not urge him again, nor could he urge him again, because the rule here is to think about it.
Someone goes to the girl's family to propose a match, and the girl's family considers it. This is a common routine in matchmaking, and it's nothing.
On the contrary, if the woman agrees without hesitation when the other party proposes marriage, the other party will think that she is not reserved and is asking for the opportunity, and will look down on her.
Geng Changshuo proposed marriage, and Wei Yuchen had breakfast and went back to the mountains.
She carried a backpack, walked and stopped, bending down from time to time to pick some herbs on the roadside, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.
She stopped and looked around, and saw a man squatting in a pit nearby. From his figure she knew it was Ma Chenggong.
She remained calm, looked at Ma Chenggong, and squatted down to dig herbs.
Ma Chenggong stood up, walked behind her, and whispered, "Luo Datong was hiding behind a big tree a little further away just now. I don't know if he is still there now."
Wei Yuchen stood up and whispered, "It's okay, let's walk further into the mountains. You hold my arm, just like you are dragging me."
Ma Chenggong was a little embarrassed: "Aunt, please don't make things difficult for me. How dare I drag you away?" The place where he was kicked yesterday still hurt.
Wei Yuchen glared at him and said, "Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Ma Chenggong had no choice but to say helplessly: "Auntie, I'm sorry." Then he pulled Wei Yuchen and walked towards a valley nearby.
The two walked to a secluded place, and Ma Chenggong quickly let go of his hand: "Auntie, what should we do next?
Wei Yuchen smiled, raised his hand, and hit Ma Chenggong with a knife, knocking him to the ground. He whispered, "I'm doing this for your own good. It's better not to know many things."
After saying that, he dragged a woman out of the bushes, put her on the ground, picked up the horse Chenggong, and put it on the woman.
Then he squatted down.
About a cup of tea later, Luo Datong came over stealthily, saw the two people stacking up, and asked loudly, "Hey, the ones down there, what are you doing?"
The two people below remained silent.
Luo Datong sensed something was wrong and rushed over. When he got closer, he saw that both men were lying stiffly. He knew something had happened and was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He quickly ran back, but before he could take a step, a strong wind hit his neck, and then he became the third person standing stiffly in the valley.
Wei Yuchen stepped forward and stuffed a pill into the beauty's mouth without thinking twice. Although it was a simple pill she made in the space overnight, it only contained one ingredient, epimedium, and some flour, but taking it was enough to make several people look bad.
After feeding the medicine, Wei Yuchen hid again. This time, she hid in the space. She felt that things could not end like this.
In the space, the little white bird was still sleeping. Wei Yuchen didn't understand why the little white bird could sleep so well. When it woke up, she would definitely ask it clearly.
After a while, Yang Laogen came over leisurely, and beside him walked two famous lazy men in the village.
"Uncle Lao Gen, where did you find the ginseng?" asked Lazy Man No. 1.
"It's almost there, it's in the valley ahead." Yang Laogen coaxed the two of them.
"Uncle Lao Gen, do you really want us to help you take a look? You should know him yourself.
"Hush, how could I lie to you? I have no money to spend if I lie to you! What I said is true. Look, the ginseng is in the valley ahead."
Yang Laogen said this and quickened his pace.
When Wei Yuchen saw Yang Laogen leading people here, what was there that he didn't understand? Only a vicious person like Yang Laogen could come up with such a sinister idea.
Zhang Zhaodi could only think of letting Luo Datong propose marriage to disgust her.
Seeing this, Wei Yuchen sneaked away. The following scene was not suitable for children. She was still a grown girl and was not suitable to watch such excitement.
As for whether the matter was big or small, she didn't ask.
Wei Yikui didn't know about Wei Yuchen's magical operation in the mountains. He symbolically considered it for a day, and when the team leader came over in the evening, he happily agreed to Geng Changshuo's proposal.
The captain took out a red envelope with 101 yuan in it, handed it to Wei Yikui, and said, " yuan, brother, check it out. This is the sincerity of the child. He is very satisfied with our Chenchen."
"I know. After we get married, I will treat the child as my own son." Wei Yikui was also a little moved.
Proposing marriage under such circumstances and offering such a large amount of betrothal gifts really gave the Wei family enough face.
In order to let everyone know that Wei Yuchen was engaged, the Wei family even set up two tables for an engagement banquet, inviting village cadres, relatives, and friends to attend. This was also a slap in the face to those people who kept complaining about nothing.
.............................................
The news of Wei Yuchen and Geng Changshuo's engagement spread quickly.
It can be said that during the entire autumn harvest process, the topic people talked about most was the marriage between Wei Yuchen and Geng Changshuo.
"I didn't expect Geng Zhiqing to be so handsome after shaving his beard. If I knew, I wonder how many young ladies would be waiting by the river to jump into the water!"
An aunt with a daughter regretted not discovering Geng Zhiqing's good looks earlier, she said angrily.
"Money can't buy early knowledge. No one thought that Geng Zhiqing would look so handsome after shaving his beard. Who would have known that he, an educated youth, would really care so much about the nonsense in our rural area! Didn't the leaders say that doing things like saving people is considered a heroic act and does not require responsibility?"
A young wife was upset and said angrily. She didn't understand why the man she found was not good enough when she had such a good reputation. How could Wei Yuchen be so lucky to find such a handsome guy?
"Who knows what's wrong with Geng Zhiqing? He actually proposed marriage to the Wei family. Such a spirited young man still cares about those rumors. I am speechless."
An aunt is so disappointed with her son, why didn't Geng Zhiqing stand up to the pressure? Otherwise, her son could have taken advantage of her. Now, she has to endure her son's complaints when she returns home.
Her son had asked her to propose to the Wei family a long time ago, but she was the one who forced him to do so. She felt that there was no difference without comparison, and that those who were going to the Wei family to propose marriage were all ugly and ugly, and Wei Yikui would definitely be disgusted with them. When Wei Yikui was very disappointed, she would propose marriage to her son, and then her son would have a better chance of winning.
Who knew that Geng Zhiqing would show up halfway, this Cheng Yaojin! His son's good marriage was ruined by him!
"Who told you to always think of luck? If you had gone to the Wei family to propose marriage from the beginning, you might have become a mother-in-law now."
We are all neighbors, so there is no need to guess what others are thinking, everyone knows it.
"That Geng Zhiqing is more capable than the most capable man here. I heard he can also hunt. I don't know what he likes about that idiot Wei Yuchen. He actually came to ask for marriage."
Said a woman who was jealous of Wei Yuchen's good fortune.
"What do you like? Because Wei Yuchen is pretty!"
An auntie who was passing by heard the conversation and laughed and joked. She didn't have a daughter, so she just talked about these things for fun.
"Puchi", another aunt laughed, "Isn't it? With Yuchen's looks, if you were a man, wouldn't you be interested?"
"It's all the same once the lights are blown out," said a burly auntie who was not convinced.
"How can they be the same? How can your skin, which is as rough as pig skin, be compared with that delicate and tender skin!" said another aunt who claimed to be knowledgeable.
… …
The aunts started to talk and their heads tilted...
She didn't even care about what they were discussing a few days ago, that Wei Yuchen was kissed and touched by someone, and that she couldn't find a good man to marry. Now that she was slapped on the face and it hurt, she only wanted to talk about some sexy gossip!
