In fact, he just wanted to piss off Deng Shouquan and Widow Shen to death. It must be said that this man is a vengeful person.

The next day was Ge Chenglan's wedding day. Wen Xi and the other two went to the cafeteria early to get busy. They first cooked sweet potato rice and steamed cornmeal steamed buns.

After that, they started cooking. There were four meat dishes in total, including braised pork with potatoes, spicy snails, braised fish fillets, and braised soup. There were also two wild vegetables and four vegetable dishes. There were ten dishes on the table, which could be said to be a very grand occasion.

Ge Chenglan had no relatives in the village, so she invited several tables of people. One table was for village cadres, two tables were for educated youth, one table was for people from the village who were relatively familiar with her, and another table was for the guests from the man's side. The matchmaker also sat on the man's side.

Wen Xi also saw Ge Chenglan's marriage partner today. His name is Sun Jingye. He has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is the appearance that everyone appreciates most in this era. However, his skin color is very dark. However, he had a hard time in the army, exposed to the wind and sun, so it is normal for him to be a little dark. Being dark is healthy, and this kind of darkness is also a kind of honor.

Sun Jingye is not the eldest in the family, so it is not his responsibility to provide for his parents in their old age. Ge Chenglan's family has no objection to him living with her. When he needs to pay pension money in the future, he can just pay it to his parents.

He is old and injured, has no income, and has a hard time finding a partner. It is not easy for him to find Ge Chenglan, a healthy woman who can take care of the children on her own.

They didn't mind Ge Chenglan's divorce at all. Nowadays, there are many first-married men marrying widows.

Everyone was very happy to see so many meat dishes on the banquet.

Deng Shouquan and Widow Shen were not invited to the banquet, but the two of them quietly came to the outside of the cafeteria, smelling the fragrance of the food and listening to everyone's praise for the banquet. Widow Shen was really jealous. Ge Chenglan was so lucky. She was divorced and had two children, but there was still a first-married man willing to marry her, and he was so generous with so many meat dishes!

But she can only live with Deng Shouquan, a peasant. Now Ge Chenglan is married, and Deng Shouquan has no hope of getting back together. He only has Widow Shen, so there is no way he will agree to a divorce.

After the lively banquet, Ge Chenglan wanted to give two yuan each to Wenxi and the other three, but Wenxi refused. Everyone was working, but they were not, but they were making money with their cooking skills. Many people felt unbalanced, so they just regarded cooking as working.

In the afternoon, Ge Chenglan took her two children to the brigade headquarters to change their surnames and given names. The previous names were given by Deng Shouquan at random. Ge Chenglan now gave the children better names.

After Deng Shouquan found out that the child's name had been changed, he wanted to go to Sun Jingye's house to cause trouble, but was beaten back by Sun Jingye. Ge Chenglan had also arranged for the child to sever ties with Deng Shouquan, so Deng Shouquan had no right to interfere in these matters.

He doesn't have any children now. If he doesn't hurry up and have two children with Widow Shen, there will be no one to see him off when he dies.

When Deng Shouquan thought of this, he began to panic.

You see, many people give birth to children in order to take care of themselves in their old age, especially those who have not been educated. How can they know about the inheritance of life and civilization?

After a few days, Yan Zheng and his colleagues went to the countryside to patrol. There were many incidents in the countryside, so their task was increased, which was that everyone took turns to patrol the countryside.

However, with their patrols, various incidents in the countryside have indeed decreased, because people of this era are afraid of being caught and sent to jail.

The sun was shining brightly today, so Wenxi took the quilt and mattress in her room to the yard to dry them in the sun so that she could sleep warmer at night.

As for bed sheets and quilt covers which were too difficult for one person to wash, Wen Xi took them to the system kitchen, washed them in the washing machine there, and then hung them out to dry.

Wen Xi put the sheets and quilt covers on the bamboo pole and was about to spread them out when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. So Wen Xi hurried out to open the door and saw Yan Zheng, several staff members, a couple and a little boy standing outside.

Wen Xi was a little surprised, "Brother Yan, why are you here?"

"Wenxi, didn't you pick up an unconscious little boy in the alley a few days ago? We have found his parents, and they want to come and thank you in person. We happened to be here for patrol today, so I brought them here. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Yan Zheng asked.

Wen Xi shook his head, "I'm not disturbing you, come in!"

Wenxi invited everyone in and came to the main hall, asking them to sit down and rest. Then she made a bowl of sugar water for everyone. The little boy drank a sip of the sugar water and politely said to Wenxi, "Thank you, sister."

Looking at his cute face full of energy, Wen Xi couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, "Little boy, how old are you this year? What's your name?"

"Sister, my name is Shi Zhan, and I am four and a half years old." Little Shi Zhan said cutely.

Wen Xi smiled and nodded, "Shizhan, this name is really nice. Your family is really good at naming."

But Wenxi also found it very strange. The couple looked quite old, at least in their forties, so how come their child was only four and a half years old?

It’s about right for my grandson to be four and a half years old, after all, people of this era get married quite early.

"Comrade Wenxi, thank you for saving our Shi Zhan, otherwise we might have lost this child." Shi Zhan's mother looked at Wenxi, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Auntie, what happened that day? Why was Shi Zhan alone in that deserted alley?" Wen Xi asked curiously.

Shi Zhan's mother explained, "In fact, Shi Zhan's father was the new deputy director here. When our family moved here and cleaned the house, we didn't take care of the child. Then Shi Zhan went out to play with his sister and got separated from her. No one knew where he went, and finally he was met by Comrade Wen."

"Sister?" Wen Xi frowned in confusion, "Is Shi Zhan's sister not married yet?"

If there was another child before, it would be understandable that Su, who was in her forties, had a youngest son who was only four years old.

"No, no, our Shi Zhan's sister is only eight years old this year." Facing Wen Xi's puzzled eyes, Shi Zhan's mother explained, "Shi Zhan's father and I have been married for many years, but we have never had children, so we adopted a child. Unexpectedly, this child turned out to be a lucky star. A few years after we adopted her, we had Shi Zhan."

After hearing what Shizhan's mother said, Wenxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie, come out with me for a moment. I'll pick some vegetables for you to take back."
