Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

"Let's go back!" Lin Qingyan couldn't help but be amazed by the gazes from those around her.

"The food will be served soon. Where's the one dollar gift money? You have to eat it to make up for the money you spent. Besides, why should we leave? Don't put other people's mistakes on yourself. If you are not wrong, you don't have to care about other people's looks."

Ye Yi refused loudly so that those gossipers could hear it.

"You probably won't be able to eat the gift money. Go back and cook some food. You can eat it when Gu Yizhou and the others come back."

Ye Yi thought of Lin Qingyan's craftsmanship and was a little hesitant.

At this time, the captain's son and several nephews from his family were carrying the dishes and preparing to serve them.

Ye Yi decided to go back after eating, so Lin Qingyan could only continue sitting.

There were eight dishes on the table, two of which were cold dishes, fried eggs with chives (only a few egg drops could be seen), eggplant, beans (these two were boiled directly in water, without any oil), and mushrooms and green vegetables (there were a few drops of oil floating on them).

The meat dishes were braised pork with potatoes (you couldn't see the meat, only potatoes, but you could see the oil), pork stewed with vermicelli (all vermicelli), and the cold dishes were boiled peanuts and a dish of cold-mixed black fungus.

"Shuanzi, come quickly, the good stuff is about to be eaten up."

"Grandma, I want to eat meat."

"Mom, I want to eat meat too!"

"The captain's banquet is still the best. There are two meat dishes."

"Yeah, I told you to come earlier, but you guys kept dawdling until the last minute and didn't get to choose a good table."

"Her aunt, you have already picked up several pieces of meat, leave one piece for Shuanzi."

"Oh my, I just gave a piece to the child, and I haven't eaten it yet."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi held their chopsticks and looked at the people who had come to their table at some point. They were dumbfounded as they watched them devour the food in no time and the plates were empty in an instant.

They looked at the chopsticks in their hands, and finally put them down together tacitly.

When the two were about to leave, the captain came out with Wang Cheng and Li Cuihua to toast, followed by the captain's nephew.

Wang Cheng was wearing a new Zhongshan suit and had a smile on his face. He was afraid of standing out in the crowd.

"The captain's son-in-law is really good-looking!"

"That's right. Judging from his looks, he's still a city dweller!"

"She seems to have a good temper. Cuihua is really blessed."

"Oh, this guy is much better looking than those guys in the village, and better looking than the other guys at the educated youth site."

"That's right, otherwise the captain's daughter wouldn't be interested in him."

"I heard it was a life-saving favor, didn't I?"

"Shh, some things are better just to listen to."

There was constant gossip whispering around.

The captain coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Thank you fellow villagers for coming to my daughter's wedding. This is my son-in-law Wang Cheng."

"A son-in-law is half a son. That's my son!" An old lady in the audience responded directly.

"Aunt Wang is right. A son-in-law is also half a son. He will be a son in the future. If the child does anything wrong in the future, you should tell him what you should say and take care of him. Don't give me face."

The captain looked at Wang Cheng beside him meaningfully.

Wang Cheng, who had been smiling just now, now looked a little unnatural. But Li Cuihua beside him kept looking at him shyly with a happy look on her face.

Although the captain was not very satisfied with Wang Cheng, he was already married and would definitely consider his daughter. At this time, he took them to toast and then went back to the table of village cadres in the house.

After the captain left, Wang Cheng came to the table of the educated youths.

"Thank you all for your support today. I'll drink first to show my respect!" He then picked up the glass and took a drink.

Li Cuihua followed him and when she saw him finish drinking, she quickly handed him a glass of water and glanced at Lin Qingyan.

There was an obvious look of pride on his face.

After everyone finished drinking, Xu Jianshan saw that Li Cuihua kept looking at Lin Qingyan, so he stood up and said to Wang Cheng.

"We are all educated youth who went to the countryside together. We are more rational and closer. Today you are getting married, and we are all here to share in your joy. There is no need to be polite. Today is your big day, and there are many things to do. You should go first!"

After saying that, he patted Wang Cheng on the shoulder.

Wang Cheng looked at Lin Qingyan and wanted to say something, but Li Cuihua pulled his sleeve, so he turned around and went into the house to toast.

At this time, Lin Qingyan was daydreaming. Xu Jianshan had performed well in the conflicts at the educated youth sites in recent times. He was a talented person. Should she find an opportunity to give him some advice so that he could seize the good times next year?

"Qingyan, Qingyan, let's go!" Ye Yi looked at the empty plate in front of her, touched her still hungry stomach, and said to Lin Qingyan.

Finally, the two of them returned to the educated youth site with empty stomachs, got something to eat, and waited for the dinner in the evening.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Lin Qingyan got up and washed her face after waking up. She was about to call Ye Yi to prepare dinner together.

At this time, the happy shouts of children were heard at the door of the educated youth site.

"What's wrong with these kids? They seem so happy." Ye Yi wanted to go out and take a look.

"Then let's go out and take a look." Lin Qingyan made the decision for her.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing, each riding a brand new bicycle.

Almost all the children in the village were running after their bicycles, and they were as excited as if it was New Year’s Day.

"Fang Yunxing, where did you get the bicycles?" Ye Yi was also very excited and walked forward to ask.

"Where did it come from? I must have bought it!" Fang Yunxing said arrogantly.

Everyone at the educated youth site was also called out by the noise. They looked at the two brand new bicycles with envy, jealousy, and reluctance.

At this time, none of the children in Xishui Village were jealous. Their love for bicycles was directly expressed on their faces.

After Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing stopped, the children gathered around them and some brave ones even went forward to touch them.

Seeing that no one was stopping them, they became bolder and touched things here and there, simply unable to let go. In fact, the children just wanted to have some fun.

"You're back." Lin Qingyan looked at Gu Yizhou who put down his bicycle and walked towards her.

"Yes, we are back."

"Has it been dealt with?"

"It's dealt with."

Lin Qingyan suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this conversation, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter among the children, and Lin Qingyan and Gu Yizhou both looked over.

"Sister Ye, my mother said that you can't lick a bicycle in winter. Is that true?" This is Hu Zi, the eldest grandson of Aunt Liu.

Hu Zi's question stunned Ye Yi. Why lick the bicycle? What kind of operation is this?

Ye Yi was confused for a while, but Fang Yunxing, who was standing next to her, burst into laughter. Two old educated youth in the crowd were also amused by the children.

Fang Yunxing laughed enough, then he touched Huzi's head with his hand and said with a smile: "Huzi, didn't you have meat for lunch? Are you greedy again? This bicycle is not edible, of course you can't lick it with your mouth."

"Why can't I lick it?" Hu Zi still couldn't understand this question.

Fang Yunxing suppressed his laughter and said, "If you really want to try the taste of a bicycle, now that the weather is not too cold, you can try any taste.

Don’t wait until the weather is cold to lick it. Be careful not to lose your tongue when the weather is cold. You won’t be able to speak or eat without a tongue.”

Hu Zi was frightened by not being able to get food and refused to lick the bicycle.

"Okay, stop scaring them, Huzi. The reason why you can't lick a bicycle in winter is because the temperature is too low.

If you lick something like frozen frost or a bicycle, it will easily stick to it." Gu Yizhou went up to explain to the children.

The children's enthusiasm for bicycles remained unabated. In order to satisfy their enthusiasm, two bicycles were placed at the entrance of the educated youth site for them to see.

However, Fang Yunxing was left at the door to watch the children to prevent any troublemakers from pushing the bicycles out to play.
