Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

If Xu Yan knew what Xie Zhuo was thinking, he would probably have to explain it to him.

No, she doesn't want to.

How tiring it is to be the head of a household. In her previous life, she had been the head of the household for so many years. Now she has traveled through time unexpectedly and doesn’t want to be the head of a household or be the head of anything anymore. She just wants to lie down.

But Xie Zhuo didn't care.

Let her be the head of the household if she wants to. As long as he can eat his fill, it's fine with him. He never picks and chooses whether to drink porridge or eat steamed buns.

As for the two nephews...

In his previous life, he and Xu Yan had no contact at all, but she had taken care of the two kids for a month. She looked kind and good-hearted, so she would not treat them harshly in this life.

Liu Mancang made all sorts of guesses as to why Xu Yan wanted to marry Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it.

So Yang Shulan was frightened. She looked at Xie Zhuo carefully for a while and suddenly felt that these three boys were indeed good-looking.

Before, I only noticed his height and never looked at his face carefully.

Hey, so this means that maybe this young educated youth Xu really is attracted to this face?

Xie Zhuo didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing Yang Shulan staring at him for a long time without saying anything, he called her aunt again and continued, "Although the village has always given a betrothal gift of fifty yuan, she, Xu Yan, is a city girl after all. I thought about it and decided to give the betrothal gift according to the city standard."

"According to the city?" Yang Shulan was surprised again.

If you follow the city's standards, you'll have to prepare three turns and one ring, as well as a two-hundred-yuan betrothal gift.

She looked at Xie Zhuo's tattered clothes.

"Mancang," Yang Shulan called Liu Mancang without thinking.

When Liu Mancang heard his third brother mention the bride price, he remembered what he had heard by the wall of the educated youth center before, and he felt a toothache.

This young educated youth Xu asked for too much dowry.

Most families couldn't afford such a daughter-in-law, and only his third brother dared to accept her. It seemed that he really intended to do as the young educated youth Xu said.

If he gets married in the future, he must marry someone from the village...

Before he could finish his thought, his mother slapped him on the arm again.

"What are you distracted about?" Yang Shulan frowned, "Go to the main room and get the key I left on the table."

After that, while Liu Mancang was getting the keys, he said to Xie Zhuo, "Yesterday's incident has spread all over the village. I also heard at home that this young educated youth Xu has a good family background."

"She is willing to marry you and doesn't mind Dabao and Xiaobao. She must be kind-hearted. We really can't treat her badly."

"But I know all about your family's situation. Mancang is still young, so there's no rush for him to find a wife. So I'll give you the money I saved for him."

When Xie Zhuo heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "No need, auntie."

"Why not? If it weren't for you, Mancang might have been gone long ago," Yang Shulan said. "Now you are getting married, which is a big deal. There is no one in charge in your family. How can your aunt and uncle just watch?"

While Xie Zhuo was still trying to refuse, Liu Mancang came running over with the keys in his hand.

Then Zhang Shuzhen was seen taking the key to open the door of another room. When she came out, she was holding a thick stack of Great Unity banknotes, as well as some unused cloth coupons, food coupons, etc.

Xie Zhuo was about to refuse when he heard Yang Shulan say.

"When your mother was still alive, she often sent gifts to our house. She also often told me that she didn't know what you would be like after you got married..."

"Mom," Liu Mancang looked at Xie Zhuo's face and pulled Yang Shulan.

"Well, it's a big day, look at me," Yang Shulan quickly stopped talking and stuffed the money and bills in her hand into Xie Zhuo's hand, "Auntie can't do anything else for your mother except these, just take it."

Xie Zhuo originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing her last words, he accepted it and planned to find a chance to return it later.

night.

After dinner, Yang Shulan and Xie Zhuo walked towards the educated youth point together.

It gets dark late in the summer, and there is nothing to do in the countryside at night. After dinner, every household basically gathers in front of their own or other people's houses to chat. After the children are full, they can't stay in the house and chase each other on the street to play.

So when Yang Shulan and Xie Zhuo were walking towards the educated youth center, people on the street were craning their necks to stare at them.

A particularly trouble-making woman stretched out her voice and said, "What is his aunt doing? She's not really going to the educated youth site to look for Xiao Xu, is she? She's probably just saying it casually, do you really take it seriously?"

Yang Shulan glared at her and ignored her.

"Sister Shulan, are you really going to the educated youth site?" another person asked.

Before Yang Shulan could say anything, the old woman started again.

"Did he come back from a visit to the educated youth camp and tell us that educated youth Xiao Xu agreed to get engaged?"

"Some people are destined to be single, and they are always dreaming of eating swan meat. It is not so easy to marry a girl in the city..."

"Yang Shulan!"

Before the old woman could finish her words, Yang Shulan walked over and kicked over the "stool" made of earth, and then she sat down on the ground.

"I'm going to kill you, you bastard," the old woman stood up and was about to pounce on Yang Shulan, but before she could reach Yang Shulan, she was pointed at in the face with a stick that she had picked up at some point.

"Come on, say it again," Yang Shulan glared at her, "I'll beat your filthy mouth to pieces!"

"That's enough," an aunt who was older than them stood up and pulled the old woman aside, "It's someone else's business, why do you have to be so mean?"

After a small farce, most families in the Qingshan Brigade knew that Yang Shulan was going to take Xie Zhuo to the educated youth site to propose marriage.

Many people who loved to join in the fun immediately followed them to the educated youth site.

And he has a family to support.

Those who didn’t know might have thought that a projectionist came to the village to show a movie. Although I didn’t understand why, I quickly took a wooden stool from home, picked up the baby and followed him.

The atmosphere at the educated youth site is still very depressing tonight.

Especially after working in the fields under the sun for an afternoon, they could only eat some corn grits porridge and dried sweet potatoes, while Xu Yan, who had done nothing all day, was drinking malted milk and eating snacks next to them.

The imbalance in my heart reached its peak.

But no one dared to ask for her things in a bossy manner like before.

Ye Wei and Qin Li have been deliberately avoiding Xu Yan ever since she said those words last night.

Han Xiaoyu was still thinking about the Sun family's affairs.

Only Zhou Jingjing slammed her chopsticks on the table after taking a sip of the tasteless and throat-rending porridge.

The people at the table were startled by her movement and looked up at her.

Zhou Jingjing stared at Xu Yan.

But Xu Yan seemed to be completely unaware of it. No, it wasn’t that she was unaware of it. She had been eating without making any noise before, but now she deliberately smacked her lips after taking a bite of the snack.

The educated youth sitting together swallowed subconsciously when they heard the sound.

"you!"

Zhou Jingjing was so angry that she pointed at Xu Yan.

"Ah, are you talking about me?" Xu Yan raised his head in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you planning to pay me back?"

Zhou Jingjing angrily picked up the bowl and went to the yard.

The others didn't want to continue eating in the kitchen either. The contrast was too stark, making them feel that the food in their bowls was harder to swallow than usual.

Everyone went out with their bowls, and only Xu Yan and Han Xiaoyu were left in the kitchen.
