A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

Li Ergou felt a little envious and jealous, but not hateful.

Gu Nan was so good to him, and he also hoped that his Nan-ge could be happy.

It's just that... Su Niannian is a bit too good, and Li Ergou is also very fond of her.

Unfortunately, there's really no comparison between me and Gu Nan.

In Li Ergou's eyes, Gu Nan was a man of great stature and ability.

Oh well, even if Su Niannian doesn't end up with Brother Nan, it's not his turn anyway. So it's better to let Brother Nan have it.

Thinking about it, Li Ergou felt relieved.

"In our village, the bride price is usually twenty or thirty yuan. Su Niannian is such a good girl, how much bride price is Brother Nan planning to give?"

After Li Ergou let go of his resentment, his gossip-loving spirit was reignited.

Gu Nan did not answer Li Ergou. In his eyes, Su Niannian was the best of the best, and she deserved the best things in the world.

The wedding must include the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese wedding custom), and in addition, the dowry that Gu Nan gives must be something that makes Su Niannian proud.

However, given the Gu family's social standing, if the bride price is too high, it could become another source of trouble if outsiders find out.

So Gu Nan hasn't made up his mind yet.

The 3,500 yuan that Gu Nan had given to Su Niannian was almost all of his savings, but it was not considered a betrothal gift from Gu Nan.

Gu Nan only hoped that he could save more money during this period.

This time, Gu Nan and Li Ergou delivered the two wild boars, along with the rabbit and pheasant, to the steel mill.

There are more male workers there, so the demand for meat is also higher.

After all, if the factory canteen doesn't have meat for a few days, the workers won't be happy.

The steel plant manager lives in the staff quarters, which is a bit far from the plant.

So the gatekeeper of the steel plant went directly to the staff dormitory and called down the director in charge.

The director was sleeping soundly when he was woken up, and he was a little irritable.

But when he heard the gatekeeper say that Li Ergou had brought two wild boars, he immediately perked up.

"Two wild boars? Good heavens, I've been worrying about meat lately, let's go!"

Director Lin of the steel plant quickly got up and went to the backyard of the steel plant with the gatekeeper.

Then you see Li Ergou and Gu Nan standing there.

There were two wild boars, quite large, on the donkey cart, along with wild rabbits and pheasants.

Director Lin's face was beaming with joy.

"Director Lin." Li Ergou hurriedly went to greet the director when he saw him arrive.

Gu Nan nodded slightly as a greeting.

"You're lucky, kid. You managed to hunt two wild boars." Director Li's face was beaming with joy.

There are many men working in steel mills, and their work is tiring, so the demand for meat is relatively high.

This is like a pillow delivered to someone who's sleepy.

Director Li rubbed his palms together. "It's still the same price, nine cents a pound, calculated based on the weight of the whole pig's hair."

"We can only sell you one for nine cents a pound. The glass factory also wants one," Li Ergou said.

"Since we've already brought them all here, let's keep them both." Director Li naturally wanted both pigs.

"This puts me in a difficult position. The glass factory also wants a pig," Li Ergou said, feigning difficulty.

Actually, this was something we discussed before we came. Although wild boar meat isn't as flavorful as domestic meat, there aren't many people who can hunt wild boar.

There aren't many competitors in this business.

So, you want to raise the price, huh?

Seeing this, Director Lin understood what Li Ergou meant.

He hesitated.

"How about this, keep both of them, and I'll give you an extra two cents per pound." Director Lin really wanted both pigs.

"Ninety-five cents a pound, plus a free wild rabbit!" Li Ergou said with a smile.

"Next time, if there's any meat, I'll make sure it's for you first," Li Ergou continued.

Director Lin wasn't a stingy person, and since it wasn't his money anyway, he readily agreed.

The two wild boars were weighed, totaling 575 jin (approximately 287.5 kg).

"He's really not thin!" Director Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

“Well, I’ll give you this rabbit, and three more rabbits and three pheasants, at the same price as before,” Li Ergou continued.

"Row."

Director Lin counted out 560 yuan and gave it to Li Ergou.

After thanking him, Li Ergou accepted it with a smile.

"In the future, when you have meat, please think of our steel mill more often, instead of always prioritizing the glass factory."

Before Li Ergou left, Director Lin didn't forget to give him a final word of advice.

Li Ergou chuckled and agreed.

They left the steel plant with Gu Nan.

After leaving, Li Ergou handed 560 yuan to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan counted out fifty yuan and gave it to Li Ergou.

"Brother Nan is getting married, I'll just take ten yuan." Li Ergou only took one ten-yuan note and left.

It wasn't that Li Ergou was stingy; he knew Gu Nan needed money for his wedding and still gave him ten yuan.

It's because Gu Nan can't do it without taking a single penny.

He understood Gu Nan's temperament.

Gu Nan stuffed fifty yuan into Li Ergou's hand, "Take it."

Li Ergou knew that if his brother Nan wanted to give it to him, he couldn't refuse.

So I didn't refuse.

Anyway, when his brother Nan gets married, he can just send the money back as a wedding gift.

When the two returned to the village in their donkey cart, it was already dawn.

Gu Nan returned home, still feeling somewhat excited.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I lay in bed and was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep for a while.

She was getting married; she was going to marry Su Niannian.

Since meeting Su Niannian, Gu Nan's life has felt like a dream.

He never imagined that one day he would like a little girl so much.

I closed my eyes, and all I could think about was Su Niannian.

very nice.

The sun rose slowly the next morning, and a new day began.

The educated youth at the settlement got up, washed up, and made breakfast.

However, the atmosphere at the educated youth settlement was somewhat strange.

People usually speak very casually, without paying any attention to the volume of their voices.

But this morning, everyone seemed to be speaking in hushed tones.

Yesterday, Lu Xingguang slept in a room by herself. In the evening, Qian Jun helped Lu Xingguang take a shower.

Because the smell on him was really hard to describe, a certain odor.

When she took a shower, she had bruises all over her body and her head was wrapped in gauze. Lu Xingguang would wince in pain if she moved even slightly.

Lu Xingguang's cooking partners are Huang Yingying, Zhao Sulan, and Sun Siyuan.

Zhao Sulan is also experiencing aches and pains all over her body, especially in her lower body, making it painful to walk.

When Sun Siyuan learned that Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan were getting married, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Lu Xingguang and didn't care whether Lu Xingguang lived or died.

As for Huang Yingying, she hopes to minimize contact with Lu Xingguang before he and Zhao Sulan register their marriage, in order to avoid any unpleasant incidents.

So the task of delivering the meals fell to Qian Jun.

"They'll get married and the problem will be solved, so why are you still looking so long-faced?" Qian Jun took a bowl of noodles from Huang Yingying and asked in a low voice.
