Chapter 40 I won't flirt with him
Because Song Lan and Zhou Bai went to the countryside with them in the same batch and met each other on the train, now Song Lan and Zhou Bai are almost the link between them and the old educated youth.
Wen Xi nodded, "Okay, then we'll go with you tomorrow at noon."
Everyone is going, so it wouldn't be good if they didn't go. After all, they are a small group and they can't let others think that they are not in harmony. They have only been here for a short time and don't have a good relationship with Zhu Jiawen and Xu Xiaohong, so just give them a few cents as a token of their appreciation. As for gifts, forget it!
Zhu Jiawen, who only knows how to smooth things over, doesn't deserve to receive her wedding gift.
There was no empty room in the educated youth center to serve as a wedding house, and Zhu Jiawen did not have enough money to build a house in the village. In addition, he had always dreamed of returning to the city, so it was impossible for him to really settle down in the countryside. So in the end, the two of them agreed that after they got married, they would live in Xu's house, in the room where Xu Xiaohong was currently living.
On the day Zhu Jiawen and Xu Xiaohong got married, Wen Xi and the others went to work as usual. When they got off work at noon, they all walked towards Xu's house together.
When they arrived at the Xu family, the wedding banquet was about to begin. Several tables were already full of people. They had no place to sit and could only wait until the second group to eat.
"Let's go inside and pay the gift money first!" Xia Minglei said to everyone.
After that, everyone went to the main hall of Xu Xiaohong's house, found the person in charge of registering the gift money, and gave it to him. Wen Xi wrapped two cents in red paper. Two cents could buy several kilograms of coarse grains at that time, enough for an adult's meal for a day. She and Zhu Jiawen didn't have a good relationship, so there was no need to give too much.
Nie Xiulan and the other three did not come because they smelled bad and they did not want to be in crowded places to be pointed at and talked about, let alone seeing people's disgusted looks.
"The food has just started to be served, and we don't know how long we have to wait before it's our turn. Are we going to stand here and watch others eat?" Tian Shengnan, another female educated youth at the educated youth point, said a little uncomfortably. From time to time, someone looked up at them. It was too embarrassing!
Wenxi still remembers Tian Shengnan. She is indeed just like her name, a lesbian who never gives up. She is probably the only lesbian with positive values in the educated youth site.
"It will take at least half an hour before it's our turn! Why don't we go for a walk?" Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Wen Xi, then looked towards the east of the Xu family. "You newcomers probably haven't been to Hewan before, right? Hewan is right next to us, and we can get there in a few minutes. Let's go and take a look!"
Everyone agreed in unison. They would rather go to the river bend to enjoy the breeze than stand here and be stared at.
After that, everyone walked towards Hewan together. Although Wenxi had not been to Hewan during the past few days in the countryside, he had been there many times in his previous life.
In the summer, adults like to swim there, children like to turn over rocks to look for crabs, and everyone washes their clothes there. How can Wenxi not have been to the river bend?
When everyone arrived at the river bend, they saw the heroine Lin Yiwan, Lin Lan, Lin Jing and Lin Qing all by the river. Wen Xi just glanced at them and then looked away.
She doesn't care about other people's affairs, let alone their fate. She just wants to work hard with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to survive the next few years.
Lin Yiwan saw Xia Minglei, walked over, and asked in a puzzled voice, "Why are you here?"
Xia Minglei's eyes moved away from Lin Jing's face and fell on Lin Yiwan's pretty face again, "There are no seats over there, and the second group of people will have to wait a long time for dinner, so I came out for a walk, what about you guys?"
As Xia Minglei spoke, he couldn't help but glance in Lin Jing's direction. This Lin Jing always liked to follow Lin Yiwan around. Don't think that he doesn't know what he means. They are all men. What else can't he understand?
Growing up together and being childhood sweethearts, so what?
Lin Jing watched the communication between Lin Yiwan and Xia Minglei and secretly clenched his fists. He and Lin Yiwan grew up together. Although he did not start to like Lin Yiwan since childhood, it has been several years since he realized that he liked Lin Yiwan. He would never allow Xia Minglei to take Lin Yiwan away.
It is true that Xia Minglei is a city dweller, but he will have to go back to the city and home one day. Will his family agree to let him bring a country wife back with him?
Lin Jing has seen how mothers-in-law torture their daughters-in-law. Even an uneducated and incompetent mother-in-law in the countryside can be so powerful that she can control her daughters-in-law so much that she dares not even fart. How can mothers-in-law in the city be easy to deal with? Can someone as simple and kind as Lin Yiwan be a match for an evil mother-in-law?
Lin Yiwan will only be truly happy when she is with him, because only he will put her at the top of his heart and put her first. In Xia Minglei's mind, Lin Yiwan will definitely not be the first.
Lin Yiwan looked at Xia Minglei and said cheerfully, "We came here to wash our shoes. We had just finished washing our shoes and were about to go back when we ran into you."
Lin Yiwan's family has no relationship with Xu Xiaohong's family. Since Xu Xiaohong is getting married, the Lin family naturally doesn't have to spend money. Besides, the Xu family can't afford to invite the whole village to dinner. Otherwise, how much money would it cost and how much meat would it have to buy? Xu Xiaohong's family doesn't have the conditions for this.
Although Lin Yiwan has the conditions, she has no relationship with Xu Xiaohong, so why should she take out supplies to help Xu Xiaohong's family?
"Then I'll go home for dinner. See you in the afternoon." Lin Yiwan waved to Xia Minglei, and then went back with Lin Lan, Lin Jing and the others, because their three families lived in the same row and were very close.
Although Lin Yiwan and Xia Minglei like each other, they are just one layer of window paper away from breaking, but Lin Yiwan knows in her heart that girls should remain reserved, otherwise people will not cherish them. So even though she likes Xia Minglei very much, she will not be ambiguous with him as long as Xia Minglei does not formally speak.
Just like now, she only regards Xia Minglei as her brother. If Xia Minglei didn't mention it, she would never say anything. Besides, she is only sixteen years old now. Why doesn't she stay at home and be free? Why does she have to marry and live under the control of her parents-in-law?
It was obvious at first glance that Xia Minglei was from a big family. Now their two families were not a good match. If she married Xia Minglei, she didn't know how her parents-in-law would treat her!
So she wants to make herself a superior person and develop her family. By that time, no one will use her family background to make trouble.
Lin Yiwan is a modern person. Modern people have a different attitude towards love and marriage. She will not compromise, nor will she let herself be wronged.
Once she finds out that the man is not good and does not defend her when family conflicts arise, she will turn around and change men. After all, it is hard to find a three-legged frog in this world, but there are two-legged men everywhere.
