Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 45 Marriage

On New Year's Eve, Wen Qing returned to the educated youth point.

Wu Qing and Li Wei returned home. This time they went to meet their parents and they planned to get married.

The new educated youth are all from Yunnan Province, and they all returned home to celebrate the festival.

Luo Yixing went back to Songjiang, and Wen Qing was the only one left in the entire educated youth center.

At noon, Erniu's grandmother asked Erniu's mother to bring a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Wen Qing thanked Erniu's mother and gave her a small piece of bacon in return. Erniu's mother left happily and went back to praise Wen Qing: "Little Wen is a very good educated youth. He doesn't look down on the farmers in the village and he is generous."

Grandma Erniu also said: "Although Xiao Wen is not in good health, he is serious about his work, unlike some people who are cunning and sly."

After lunch, Wen Qing carried a backpack and went into Daqing Mountain. Actually, she didn't have any purpose. She just had nothing to do at home, so she just went up the mountain for a walk to see if she could find a breakthrough opportunity like last time.

Unconsciously, she climbed to the top of the mountain. She had never been to this place before. Looking around, she found that the forest was full of pine trees, camphor trees, rhododendrons, and a few ginkgo trees in the sunny places. The leaves of the ginkgo trees had all fallen off.

She stood on the rock on the top of the mountain, looking at the endless undulating peaks. Gusts of mountain breeze blew by. The winter sun was not very warm, and the wind felt chilly.

Wen Qing walked into the woods, looked at the few pine nuts on the branches, lowered her head and dug up the pine needles and soil on the ground, put them into the space, and put them in the pit by the lake as fertilizer.

While digging the soil, she suddenly smelled a fragrance, the same as the truffle she found. She carefully dug under the pine tree and sure enough, she found a truffle. She didn't know there were truffles in this place, and it was a pity that she didn't dig it before.

Truffles mature from December to February of the following year, and disappear after this time.

She spent the whole afternoon digging truffles here and filled half a basket. She counted 37 truffles and found that there were 60 of them. Her space warehouse has a fresh-keeping function, and with the ones she dug today, there are now more than truffles. She doesn't plan to sell them and plans to eat them herself.

At dinner time, the team leader's daughter-in-law, a shy young woman, brought a bowl of roast chicken with potatoes, saying it was an additional dish for her. Wen Qing gave back a small bag of dried mushrooms and a bottle of white wine, saying the wine was given by her aunt.

Wen Qing made stir-fried truffles with green peppers and stewed chicken with truffles, took out some wine, and spent New Year's Eve by herself.

In the faraway central Hubei, Wen Qing's family was also having a New Year's Eve dinner. Wen Qing's mother Su Mei said, "I wonder why Xiao Qing didn't come back this year?"

Wen Qing's father, Wen Dayong, said, "This child is not close to us. I said a few words to her last year and she left in anger. We haven't received a letter from her for a whole year."

Grandma Wen Qing: "You don't even send anything back for the New Year. You have no filial piety."

Wen Qing's mother was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

After Wen Qing finished her meal, she went up to the attic and entered the space.

The space was filled with blue sky and white clouds, and the air was fresh. She walked into the bamboo building, put the spring water into a wooden bucket, and lay down to take a bath. The spring water was always tepid, and she didn't know where its source was.

After taking a bath, Wen Qing put on soft cotton pajamas and went to the study, where there were several antique vases, three long knives harvested from Nankun City, a box of gold bars, a wooden box of scrolls of calligraphy and painting, five pieces of jade, and various books she had collected.

Wen Qing picked up the jade piece. There was nothing on it. No new lines had appeared on the jade piece since Wen Qing's last breakthrough.

She held the jade piece and practiced, and tried to transfer internal energy, but nothing happened. She put down the jade piece and continued to sit cross-legged and practice.

Wen Qing has now cultivated and opened up three meridians. She circulated her internal energy slowly and steadily, flushing the meridians bit by bit. She could feel the meridians being filled with vital energy. Although her eyes were closed, she could still "see" the rice fields, wheat fields, and the small island in the lake in the distance. She estimated that the distance she could see was at least ten miles away, but she could see more clearly at close range and not so clearly at a distance.

After finishing the training, Wen Qing went to the warehouse again. Most of the grain harvested last time was made into wine. Now there were only more than 1000 kilograms of various grains, and the rice in the rice fields would not be harvested for more than a week.

Finally, they went to the room where the raw stones were kept. Looking at the mountain of raw stones, Wen Qing picked up a large stone that was one meter square, walked to the shed outside the warehouse, put it on the grinder, and began to cut the stone.

There was a crackling noise and dust flew everywhere. She cut off a three-inch wide edge of the stone. Wen Qing brought over a basin of water, scooped a ladle and poured it on the stone. She wiped the water off the cut with a rag, and a touch of green appeared on the smooth stone.

"It's green." It was indeed selected by the space. Wen Qing became more motivated. She turned in a direction with great effort and cut off the stone skin on the other side.

There are two pieces of jade in this raw stone. One is 30 cm wide, 20 cm long and 10 cm thick. The color is light green gradually transitioning to bright green. The other is 20 cm wide, 30 cm long and 20 cm thick. The color is very beautiful, a deep emerald green, like a summer forest. The texture is also very delicate and clear, without any lines. It should be a glass type.

After playing with them for a while, Wen Qing used her mind to move the cut stones down the hillside, and then took the two pieces of jade to the study in the bamboo building and placed them on the bookshelf.

Only then did he leave the space and go to sleep.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Qing was awakened by the sound of firecrackers in the village. She caught a rabbit and a fish from the space, killed and cleaned them, and prepared to make spicy rabbit and pickled fish for lunch. Together with yesterday's truffle stewed chicken, it would still be a hearty meal.

After lunch, Wen Qing did not waste any more time and started copying the test papers she found from the scrap yard in Nankun City. She copied all the test papers first and then started doing the questions. Wen Qing decided to speed up her study pace from now on.

She now only has four books in the mathematics, physics and chemistry series. Wen Qing copied out every knowledge point in the textbooks, made a mind map, figured out the logic between the various knowledge points, corresponded them to the questions at the end of the textbooks, and then analyzed the intention and test points of the questions. After such careful analysis, Wen Qing felt that her understanding of the books had also improved.

Wu Qing and Li Wei came back after the Lantern Festival, and the three new educated youth also came back one after another. Wu Ying also brought back her sister Wu Juan, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, short, dark and thin, and looked only ten years old.

Li Wei and Wu Qing went to the commune to get a marriage certificate, set up three tables at the educated youth site, and invited the educated youth at the site, the team leader, the secretary, the elders in the village, and the teachers in the school to dinner. The cooks were two sisters-in-law in the village who were on good terms with them.

Wen Qing helped to greet the guests. Everyone who came brought gifts. None of them were expensive. Some gave a few eggs, some a piece of bacon, and some a piece of cloth. Wen Qing gave ten yuan, and other educated youth gave five or two yuan. They all sincerely wished the newlyweds a happy marriage and a baby soon.

The wedding banquet included stir-fried pork with twice-cooked pork, braised chicken, stir-fried mushrooms, steamed eggs, stir-fried pickled meat with peppers, tofu fish, and seaweed and shrimp soup. It was a very sumptuous banquet. Except for some dishes left for the two sisters-in-law who cooked, everyone else was eaten up.

It was not popular to celebrate the new house at that time. After dinner, the clients from the village and the teachers from the school all left.

Wen Qing washed the dishes with Wu Ying and Wu Juan, and the male educated youth returned the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and bowls to the villagers.

In the evening, Li Wei was called by some male educated youth to drink, leaving Wu Qing and some female educated youth to have dinner. Wen Qing asked, "Sister Qingqing, what are your plans for the future?"

Wu Qing: "I will move to Li Wei's house tomorrow. He lives alone anyway, so you can live here by yourself."

He added: "I am still teaching as a substitute teacher at school. According to the school, the commune middle school is going to expand and needs more teachers. The three people we recruited last time can stay."

Wu Ying said: "When I returned home this time, I found that many factories had reopened, but it was still difficult to find a job."

You Manli said as she ate: "The Red Flag Brigade under XX Commune distributed ten kilograms of pork to the villagers during the New Year, but we only received one and a half kilograms. It's far behind."

Wu Ying: "How do they share so much meat? How many pigs does their village have?"

You Manli: "My classmate went to the countryside there and she told me about it.

Their village raised 10 pigs, 20 of which were handed in, leaving 15 in the village. During the New Year, were slaughtered and all distributed to the villagers.

Wu Ying sucked her saliva and said, "It would be nice if our village could also raise 30 pigs."
