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

"Uncle San, is this a bicycle?" Dabao ran to the bicycle, then suddenly stopped, walked over carefully and touched the wheel lightly.

I was afraid of hurting the bicycle.

"Yes, it's a bicycle," Xie Zhuo pushed the bicycle into the yard, then he set up the bicycle stand and untied the backpack tied to the bicycle beam.

“Wow, it’s really a bicycle!”

Xiaobao had never seen a bicycle before. Although there were two families in the brigade that had bicycles, they rarely rode them. Dabao and Xiaobao rarely went out to play, so they had never seen one.

But even though they had never seen it before, it didn't stop them from being very excited. They ran around the bicycle several times, and Xie Zhuo was almost dizzy because of them.

"When the weather is not too hot in the afternoon, let your uncle take you out for a walk on his bike," Xu Yan took out the packed food from the backpack, "We have to eat first."

"Eat, eat," Dabao repeated several times with a smile on his little face.

"Third Aunt," Xiao Bao stopped turning around and came over to hug Xu Yan's legs.

Xu Yan really likes these two children. They are so cute and have good personalities. They are not naughty kids who won’t listen to you at all.

"Hurry up and wash your hands," Xu Yan bent down and pinched their cheeks affectionately, "Your Third Uncle bought some delicious braised pork for you, it will be gone if you're late."

"Ah, Rourou," Dabao immediately grabbed Xiaobao's hand and rushed into the house, "We want to eat Rourou!"

Xie Zhuo watched Xu Yan and the two children quarreling. After carrying the backpack into his room, he went to set up the table under the tree and bolted the door before taking out all the food.

Xu Yan glanced at him.

"I think everyone will come to see the bicycle soon," Xie Zhuo said, "Let's wait until Ansheng finishes his meal before driving."

"Aunt San, wash your hands," Dabao and Xiaobao not only washed their own hands, but also brought half a basin of water for Xu Yan to wash.

"Thank you, Dabao and Xiaobao," Xu Yan's attention was drawn to the two little guys, and the smile on his face never stopped, "You are so nice to Third Aunt."

Xie Zhuo had already washed his hands in the kitchen and was putting the food on the table. When he heard Xu Yan's self-introduction, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.

While they were eating, there was another commotion at the educated youth site.

The cause was that Zhou Jingjing was annoyed by the choking smell of smoke while cooking, so she stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, then ran out and squatted in the yard to wash clothes.

Maybe she was thinking that once the clothes were washed, the water on the stove would have boiled, and she would be ready to cook the noodles.

Although they have not been working recently, their food has been getting better and better. They originally thought that they would not be so hungry after not working and could eat one less meal a day. However, after not working, they were bored every day and only thought about how to eat.

After eating noodles at the last meal, I wanted to eat noodles again at this meal.

Unexpectedly, the firewood in the stove fell out and directly ignited the firewood on the ground. It was when Ye Wei felt it was too hot and was about to scoop water to wash his face that he discovered that there was a fire in the kitchen.

Then came a period of chaos.

When they finally put out the fire, the whole kitchen was blackened by smoke, and a small stool placed next to the stove was half burned.

Wu Shi immediately got angry and scolded Zhou Jingjing a few words.

Zhou Jingjing was not a person with a good temper either. She pointed at Wu Shi's nose and scolded the male educated youth for being too lazy. If they had the ability, they could cook for themselves. It would be fine if the boss didn't help them and they just ate ready-made food every day, but now they were blaming her.

"You are simply unreasonable!" Wu Shi glared and cursed.

"I'm unreasonable?" Zhou Jingjing's voice was even louder than his. "If you have the ability, cook for yourself. We cook and wash dishes every day. It's ok if you don't know how to help, but now you have the nerve to scold me?"

"Cooking and washing dishes are what you women should do," Wu Shi stiffened his neck.

"Bullshit," Zhou Jingjing retorted, "Why did Xie Zhuo cook for himself and ask Xu Yan to come over to eat?"

She said this without thinking, it just came out of her mouth.

Yesterday when Dabao and Xiaobao came to call Xu Yan to eat, they were all there, but no one said anything.

Now, when the educated youth suddenly heard her mention Xie Zhuo, the expressions on everyone's faces changed again.

Wu Shi seemed to have caught her by the hair and sneered, "Oh, so you also envy Xu Yan for marrying a village peasant. Since you think country men are so good, why don't you find one and marry him?"

"That's right, maybe you're luckier than Xu Yan. Your man can cook meat for you every day," another male educated youth said sarcastically.

Zhou Jingjing's eyes turned red with anger.

In the end, it was Ye Wei who stepped forward to put an end to the farce, but the male and female educated youth at the educated youth site stopped talking to each other.

Xu Yan didn't know all this. She was eating the braised pork from Dabao, the scrambled eggs from Xiaobao, and drinking the water poured by Xie Zhuo. She looked very satisfied.

She originally thought that the food in that era was not as delicious as that in later generations, after all, the seasonings and other things were not as complete in variety as those in later generations. But the chef of the state-owned restaurant showed her with his real skills that real cooking skills did not require those things.

After all, this was the third time they had eaten at the same table, and Xu Yan had become much more relaxed from the restraint he had felt the first time.

Occasionally, he would tease Xie Zhuo about what Dabao and Xiaobao said.

Xie Zhuo didn't refute, he just raised his eyebrows occasionally.

After they finished their meal and cleared the table, Xie Zhuo went into the house to get some wild ginseng. He also took out Xu Yan's books from the backpack and placed them neatly on the table.

It was the first time that Xu Yan entered Xie Zhuo's house.

The house is on the right hand side after entering the front door and doesn't look very big.

Like the dormitory in the educated youth camp, it had a bunk bed, but the walls were covered with newspapers all around. A large blue-gray sheet was spread on the kang, and a quilt and a pillow were placed in the corner.

Xu Yan glanced at the sheets, quilts and pillows.

Very clean and tidy.

To be honest, not to mention in the countryside, even in the city many men's rooms are messy, and it is rare to see a man like Xie Zhuo whose kang has no wrinkles at all.

Xie Zhuo looked up at Xu Yan, then pointed at the books on the table and said, "There's no need to take these books back to the Youth League Center."

Xu Yan was still looking around his room. When he heard these words, he came back to his senses and said "hmm".

"We'll be moving here in a few days, and it'll be troublesome to move things around," she said.

"Then, I'll put it away first," Xie Zhuo looked at her again, then put the book on a small homemade wooden bookshelf behind him.

Xu Yan blinked.

He took the book... into his room.

In fact, Xu Yan had always said that she would move out of the educated youth camp after getting married, but she had not yet thought about how she would live after moving to Xie Zhuo's house.
