Chen Yuan estimated the time and replied, "Let's get 80 kilograms of pig offal. It'll be just in time."

Li Shanghai also felt that 80 kilograms was just right and he could carry it away in one trip.

"Okay, then I can go by myself tomorrow morning. Hu Zi can take a day off."

Hu Zi quickly waved his hands, "I'm not tired!"

"How about I come to Brother Yuan's place to help?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't want to sleep in, come and fetch water in the morning. There's no water in the water tank now."

Hu Zi patted his chest and said, "No problem!"

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Sun Weiwei packed up some braised pork buns for them. A pot of braised pork buns was divided into three portions, just enough for one family.

In the evening, after Li Shanghai and Hu Zi left, Chen Yuan started preparing things for tomorrow in the kitchen.

Sun Weiwei came out of the house and asked with a frown, "Brother Yuan, we can't go there empty-handed tomorrow. What should we bring?"

Chen Yuan had already decided to fry some small fried dough twists for Zhou Lili and the others tomorrow as a token of his appreciation.

"Let's fry some fried dough twists. A small bag won't take much time."

"Row!"

Chen Yuan took Sun Weiwei's hand and asked in a low voice, "Is Yiyi asleep?"

Sun Weiwei knew what Chen Yuan was trying to do with her heels. She nodded slightly, her cheeks red like a ripe apple.

Chen Yuan chuckled. After a busy day, it was finally time for them to be alone.

"Honey, I'll go boil some water."

Unexpectedly, the next second, Sun Weiwei stopped Chen Yuan and stammered, "I..."

"I'm coming..."

Chen Yuan stood there in a daze, looking at Sun Weiwei with grievance.

"Then kissing is always okay, right?"

"Wife, please help me!"

After saying that, Chen Yuan picked up Sun Weiwei and carried her back to the east room.

……

The next day, Sun Weiwei woke up feeling sore in her mouth and hands.

Sun Weiwei looked at Chen Yuan with resentment. She didn't expect that he could help her in that way!

Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei were both going to the county today, so Sun Weiwei sent Yiyi directly to Feng Ailian.

Chen Yuan was at home with Hu Zi, processing the 100 kilograms of pig offal.

Today's quantity is only half of the usual amount, so it was done a lot faster than usual.

The two pots worked at the same time and the pig offal was braised quickly.

Hu Zi watched Li Shanghai leave, and always felt that something was strange.

"Brother Yuan, you said I suddenly have no work to do and I feel a little uncomfortable all over."

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes at Hu Zi and said, "If you're really free, go to the front mountain and chop some firewood."

"Spring planting is almost here, and we'll be so busy we won't have time to chop wood."

Hu Zi slapped his thigh fiercely, "That makes perfect sense, Brother Yuan. I'll go chop wood today then."

After saying that, Hu Zi hurried home.

Chen Yuan wrapped up the fried dough twists and everything was ready.

Sun Weiwei wore a white shirt today, with a navy blue knitted jacket and navy blue pants. Her hair was neatly braided and hung naturally in front of her chest, making her look generous, beautiful and elegant.

Chen Yuan was stunned when he saw Sun Weiwei's outfit today.

His wife is even more beautiful than Zhao Liying and Yang Mi in later generations!

Sun Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Chen Yuan. "Does this look unattractive to me? How about I change?"

Chen Yuan pulled her into his arms and said, "My wife is so beautiful! She's even more beautiful dressed like this!"

Sun Weiwei shyly pushed Chen Yuan away and said, "Let's go quickly. We won't be late later."

Chen Yuan extended his hand and saluted Sun Weiwei, saying with a smile, "Yes, sir!"

Today we only got 100 kilograms of braised pork offal. Hu Zi didn't need to ride a bicycle, so he parked it directly in Chen Yuan's yard last night.

Chen Yuan took the things off the back seat of the bicycle. Fearing that Sun Weiwei would feel uncomfortable sitting on it, he also put a small cushion on the back seat.

"Honey, try sitting down. Does it still hurt your butt?"

Sun Weiwei tried the back seat and found it was soft. "It's not uncomfortable. Let's go."

This was Sun Weiwei's first time riding a bicycle. She was always worried about falling, so she held Chen Yuan's waist tightly all the way.

Chen Yuan was secretly happy, as he rode for more than an hour on a journey that should have taken less than an hour.

Zhou Lili and Qiao Chuanbai’s wedding banquet was held in the courtyard of the machinery factory’s staff quarters.

There were more than a dozen tables set up inside and outside the house. It was the largest wedding banquet held in the machinery factory’s staff quarters in recent years.

When Chen Yuan and his companion arrived, Zhou Lili and Qiao Chuanbai were waiting for guests at the gate of the compound.

Zhou Lili saw Chen Yuan and greeted him warmly.

"Brother Chen! Sister-in-law! You're finally here! I've reserved a seat for you at the first table inside!"

Sun Weiwei smiled and handed over the best fried dough twist, "This is a little gift from Brother Yuan and me."

Zhou Lili took the paper bag with a look of surprise. She had seen her colleagues in the state-owned restaurant buy this thing, and it was not cheap.

"Oh, thank you so much! I'll be more than welcome then!"

Qiao Chuanbai stood aside and said with a smile, "Please come in!"

At that time, the gifts for wedding banquets were only a few cents, and Chen Yuan did not pretend to be a rich man to attract attention. Instead, he took the same gift as everyone else.

Zhou Lili arranged them to sit at a table at the front, and most of the people around them were managers from the machinery factory and their families.

Chen Yuan also took the cushion from the back seat of the bicycle and placed it on the bench where Sun Weiwei was sitting.

His action attracted a lot of people's attention.

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei and began to whisper.

"These two people look so unfamiliar!"

"This woman is dressed beautifully, but this man is dressed like a scoundrel!"

"She doesn't look like someone from our machinery factory. Maybe she's Zhou Lili's colleague at the state-owned restaurant!"

"A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"

"..."

Chen Yuan was not angry at all when he heard this. As the saying goes, whether the family life is good or not depends on how well the wife dresses.

Since they praised Sun Weiwei, Chen Yuan had nothing to be angry about.

A trustworthy aunt came over and asked, "You two don't look familiar to me. Are you from our machinery factory?"

Chen Yuan nodded gently, "We are from Chenjia Village."

The auntie's expression immediately changed, and she completely lost her fawning attitude.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and looked at Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei with complicated expressions.

"Two country bumpkins can actually attend our deputy factory director's wedding banquet?"

"It must be Zhou Lili's poor relative!"

"I said this woman definitely had a purpose in marrying our deputy director."

"Hey, when you eat later, you won't eat like a pig, will you?"

"What a jerk this Zhou Lili is! Why did she put me at the same table with these two peasants?"

"..."

People in the machinery factory’s staff housing compound were not optimistic about Zhou Lili. There was no other reason, simply because the Zhou family didn’t have a big background and they were just ordinary employees.

Everyone was discussing loudly, and it reached the ears of Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei clearly.

Sun Weiwei looked at Chen Yuan with some concern, her hands tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.
