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

Xu Yan was quite nervous at first.

Now seeing Xie Zhuo like this, she suddenly wasn't nervous anymore.

He even smiled at Xie Zhuo.

Then those who came over to watch the fun started to make a noise.

Weddings in this era were quite simple. There was no such thing as the bride having to keep her feet off the ground or covering her face. Generally, the man would go to the woman's house, take her home with him and walk back home together, and then, in the presence of relatives and friends, they would toast and have a feast, and that would be considered a marriage.

Someone like Xie Zhuo who came to pick someone up on a bicycle was considered the most prestigious.

Xu Yan wore the same white shirt as Xie Zhuo today, with a light blue cotton skirt and a pair of black leather shoes.

Because she was getting married, she put on a bright red coat on top.

If she were to go out in the future, she would definitely not be able to wear such an outfit, but in this era, it is an outfit that many people envy.

The female educated youth at the educated youth point said that there was nothing good about Xu Yan marrying Xie Zhuo, but when they saw the man standing next to the bicycle, they were still a little jealous.

Especially after Xie Zhuo dressed up like this today, they suddenly felt that Xie Zhuo seemed... a little good-looking?

This feeling is very strange.

When I saw him before, he was just a rough country guy wearing patched linen clothes and looked gray.

Looking at it now, he is half a head taller than the people around him, and he is dressed neatly and tidy, which makes him conspicuous no matter how you look at him.

Could it be that... clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse?

Xie Zhuoke didn't have time to care about what the people at the educated youth center thought. All he had eyes for now was Xu Yan.

Because I knew she was feeling uncomfortable from the bumpy ride on her bike the past two days, I brought a thick piece of clothing with me to put under the seat when I came today.

Xu Yan's eyelashes moved slightly, he glanced at him, and then sat in the back seat of the car.

The educated youth point was not far from Xie Zhuo's home, and it was even faster to get there by bicycle, which only took less than a few minutes.

A large group of children ran back laughing and making noise.

Even if Xu Yan was not socially anxious, he still felt uncomfortable after being disturbed by this.

When the captain’s third son got married, he took his wife on a bicycle and rode around Qingshan Brigade three times to show off that he had bought a bicycle.

Xu Yan was afraid that Xie Zhuo would do the same, so he quickly pulled his clothes.

"Hmm?" Xie Zhuo tilted his head slightly.

"Go straight home," Xu Yan said, "Don't ride your bike around."

Xie Zhuo uttered a light “hmm”.

When the bicycle arrived at Xie Zhuo's house, Liu Mancang and Zhao Jisheng were working in a clear division of labor: one was collecting money, and the other was standing at the gate handing out candies to those who came to the banquet.

As soon as Xu Yan got off the bicycle, Liu Mancang shouted "Third sister-in-law" loudly, then grinned and gave Xu Yan a handful of candy.

One of the rare cultured people said, "The days ahead will be like honey!"

After he shouted this, others followed suit and said a series of blessings.

Now Xu Yan really felt that he was married.

From now on you will be Xie Zhuo’s wife.

She raised her head slightly and glanced at Xie Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Xie Zhuo was also looking at her. She didn't know if it was because of these blessings, but there was a hint of joy on his brows.

Seeing her looking at him, he tilted his head towards her.

A lot of people came today. Not only was the yard full of people, but all the other rooms were also full of people except for the new house and Dabao and Xiaobao's houses.

The captain gave a speech as the witness, and then said some words of blessing to the newlyweds, and then the banquet began.

The two little guys, Dabao and Xiaobao, also wore new clothes today. Their faces and hands were washed clean, and they looked even cuter than usual.

At this time, they were holding Xu Yan's hands on the left and right.

"Aunt San, will you live in our house from now on?"

Xu Yan gently pinched their cheeks and said with a smile, "Yes."

"That's great," Xiaobao laughed first.

"That's great. From now on I can be with Third Aunt every day," Dabao was also very happy.

According to the custom of the Qingshan Brigade, newlyweds have to toast their parents when they get married, but because Xu Yan's parents were not around, and Xie Zhuo's parents and brother had passed away, he did not invite any relatives to come, so after the two of them toasted the captain with a glass of wine, this session was considered over.

But even if you don't toast, you still have to drink.

Xie Zhuo had just taken two bites of the food when he was pulled over by Liu Mancang and others.

Xie Zhuo was not a good person in the eyes of those aunts, but he was quite popular among young men of his age.

The two tables near the main hall door were occupied by young people with whom he had a good relationship.

At this time, say a few auspicious words and let Xie Zhuo have a drink.

Xie Zhuo also accepted all the messages. As long as they wished him and Xu Yan to live together forever, he would just drink them all.

Liu Mancang couldn't help it anymore and muttered to Zhao Jisheng, "I've never seen Third Brother like this before."

"You are talking nonsense. Third brother has never been married before," said Zhao Jisheng.

"That's not what I meant," Liu Mancang said. "I mean, isn't his current behavior just that?"

"What?" Zhao Jisheng asked.

"He likes Xiao Xu...he likes Third Sister-in-law," Liu Mancang said, "He just wants to grow old with Third Sister-in-law. He even said before that he didn't like her."

After he and Zhao Jisheng finished mumbling, he held up the wine glass to prove it, "Third Brother."

Xie Zhuo turned his head.

"I wish you and my third sister-in-law a happy wedding, a long-lasting marriage, and may you never be separated!" Liu Mancang shouted in a loud voice, and his voice sounded very sincere.

Xie Zhuo drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Liu Mancang gave Zhao Jisheng a look, as if to say, look, what did I say.

However, because of his shout, the other unmarried men at the table noticed him.

"Hey, Mancang, why don't you say something to me?" someone said.

"What are you talking about? You're not married," Liu Mancang said.

"Isn't it because you're not married that I let you say a few words? Didn't you say some time ago that your third brother would get married this year and have three children in five years?" the man said, "Say that to me again!"

Liu Mancang suddenly remembered.

At that time, he was in the field and was afraid that his third brother would marry a divorced woman with children. As a result, he was chased and kicked by his third brother, and he shouted this.

Some people said at the time that he was making a wish.

I didn’t expect that my wish would come true in just a few days.

When the others heard it, they also remembered it, and regardless of whether it was true or not, they started to clamor for Liu Mancang to say it again.

The excitement lasted until almost noon.

Because people generally didn't have enough to eat in that era, it was not easy to have a table where people could eat to their heart's content. People didn't give way to each other, and the plates were almost washed as soon as they were finished.

There are no leftovers or anything like that.

When Li Aihua and her friends left, they just took away the dishes, chopsticks, tables, chairs, and benches, saving Xie Zhuo from having to run back to return them.

After the excitement in the yard, it became quiet again.

Xu Yan took a broom and went to sweep the garbage in the yard, but before he started, he was stopped by Xie Zhuo.

"I'll do it," Xie Zhuo said.

"Not drunk?" Xu Yan glanced at him.

"No," Xie Zhuo said calmly.

Then he almost hit his head against the wall when he walked into the yard.

When Xu Yan hurried over to help him, he frowned and felt forward, then said, "How can this wall still move?"

His expression was serious and his tone was earnest.

Xu Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Indeed, this wall is a bit strange. Why don't we sweep it tomorrow?"

Dabao and Xiaobao were sitting under the pear tree eating candy. When they heard what Uncle San and Aunt San said, they looked toward the wall and said in a baby voice, "The wall is not gone. It's still there."

Xu Yan laughed again.

But the next second she couldn't laugh anymore, and turned back in shock to look at Xie Zhuo, whose lips were still very close to her face.

"You..." She opened her mouth, but couldn't think of what to say for a long time.

Xie Zhuo spoke first, "Try to smile again."
