The old Taoist was very happy, although he always felt that the people in Xianjiqiao looked at him strangely from time to time. He thought it must be that the people in Xianjiqiao were envious of him. Although he had never had a cub of his own in his life, he had received this one.
Disciple, which one is better? The wives I want are all girls from the city. They are beautiful, well-educated, and of course the most important thing is to have a good childbirth.
Zhou Maolin glanced at the old Taoist and felt a little unbearable. The old Taoist had really committed a sin and had never asked for a wife in his life. He finally watched his apprentice ask for a wife, and his time was running out.
"Everyone should be careful in front of the old Taoist priest. Don't let him see it and make him sad. Everyone just celebrates it as happy as usual." Zhou Maolin warned the people of Xianji Bridge from time to time.
Huang Yuchun was more sentimental. Hearing what the man said, he burst into tears: "How come you are such an experienced Taoist? How come you are dying? You look pretty good?"
Huang Yuchun started, and the ladies in Xianjiqiao's house immediately started raining. All of them burst into tears.
Zhou Maolin was anxious: "What are you doing? Are you holding a happy event for Chang Xing like this? Or a funeral for the old Taoist Priest? Go quickly and wipe away your tears, don't let the old Taoist Priest see it. You put a smile on your face.
.Be cheerful."
The old Taoist priest looked more and more something was wrong, so he asked Xiao Laosi next to him: "Fourth, what's going on today? Why is everyone acting weird?"
Xiao Laosi quickly shook his head: "I'm very happy! Chang Xing is someone who everyone has watched grow up. He has grown up before his eyes, and he is begging for his mother-in-law. It's quite emotional."
"Well, Chang Xing has grown up and wants a wife, but I am old." The old Taoist sighed.
"Old Taoist Master, you are so strong, you can still give Chang Xing a baby boy in the future, and you can watch Chang Xing's baby girl beg your mother-in-law in the future," Xiao Laosi said.
"Haha, Fourth Brother, you really know how to speak. I am very satisfied to be able to watch Chang Xing beg for a wife. The future path depends on Chang Xing himself." The old Taoist Master said.
Xiao Laosi heard this and said quickly: "Old Taoist Master, you are so strong, you will definitely be able to see Chang Xing's little boy grow up."
Over at the Youth Farm, Chang Xing finally met Wu Wanyi after going through ninety-nine and eighty-one stages. Wu Wanyi wore a new suit today, with a big red flower on her chest. She also wore makeup and lipstick, which made her look...
More and more beautiful.
"It's hard for you today." Wu Wanyi said to Chang Xing who had overcome the many difficulties set by the educated youth on the farm.
"It doesn't matter, it's me who makes the profit today anyway!" Chang Xing said with a smile.
Firecrackers were going off non-stop in the Youth Farm, and the intellectual youths were making noises, making it difficult for the two of them to have a peaceful conversation.
"Brother-in-law, I heard Sister Wanyi say that you were the one who carried Sister Wanyi to the Youth Farm in the snow on a snowy night and saved everyone in the Youth Farm, thus impressing Sister Wanyi. Are you going to do it again today?
Are you going to carry Sister Wanyi on your back? I’m looking at the sedan but I still don’t want it. Do you think you want it?” Just when Wu Wanyi was about to get on the sedan, Shen Yufang coaxed.
"Yes!" Chang Xing agreed.
"Let's take the sedan chair. This is our custom here in Xianji Bridge." Zhou Hongbing said quickly.
"That is the custom of your youth farm. It is not the custom of our youth farm. If you marry someone from our youth farm, of course you must abide by the customs of our youth farm. Comrades, do you think this is right?" Shen Yufang shouted loudly.
Under such a scene, the intellectual youths of the Youth Farm must show enough unity no matter what. So Shen Yufang's words were immediately approved by everyone in the Youth Farm. Finally, if he wanted to persuade the girls of the Youth Farm, he must
Can't carry it.
Chang Xing originally did not reject this request. He squatted on the ground and smiled at Wu Wanyi: "Wanyi, come here!"
Wu Wanyi blushed with embarrassment and lay on Chang Xing's back. Chang Xing lifted Wu Wanyi's hips up and carried Wu Wanyi comfortably on his back.
Wu Wanyi thought of that winter night again. She lay on Chang Xing's back and felt the heat on Chang Xing's body. Her heart suddenly entered a kind of tranquility. On Chang Xing's back, she felt at ease.
, no matter where she goes in the future, she has a safe destination.
Chang Xing also remembered the situation that night very clearly. Although the situation was urgent that night, he still remembered the petite and docile girl on his back.
After Chang Xing and Wu Wanyi decided to get married, Chang Xing turned all the rice in the barn on the mountain into rice wine. It filled dozens of wine jars. After the wedding, the entire Xianji Bridge was filled with the smell of wine.
Wu Wanyi married to Xianjiqiao, and naturally she became a Xianjiqiao person from then on. She participated in labor in Xianjiqiao. Zhou Maolin made Wu Wanyi the director of the machinery factory. Wu Wanyi was originally one of the main participants when the machinery factory was founded.
Shang Changxing is also the most powerful mechanic in the machinery factory. Most of the mechanics behind the machinery factory were brought out by Chang Xing, and the remaining half are apprentices of the apprentices brought out by Chang Xing. Wu Wanyi's current identity is to work in this factory
No one from Xianjiqiao or Youth Farm would have any objections. Wu Wanyi is an educated person, and managing a small factory is not a difficult task.
From the day Chang Xing and Wu Wanyi got married, the old man had been looking forward to becoming a grandfather.
"This Zhou Maolin is really asking Wanyi to be the director of the factory. She leaves early every day and comes back late every day, so busy that her feet never touch the ground. If this continues, when will she be able to give me a grandson?" The old Taoist sat under the big maple tree,
Expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Maolin.
Xiao Laosi said quickly: "Old Taoist Master, don't worry. Although Teacher Wu is a little busy, he is in good health. After all, he has come to our Xianji Bridge to participate in labor for several years. His body has been trained, and he is young, so it is easy to
Pregnant."
The old Taoist nodded: "I'm just anxious."
"Old Taoist, please relax, Teacher Wu will get pregnant soon." Xiao Laosi looked at the anxious look on the old Taoist's face and couldn't help but shake his head.
The life of the Xianjiqiao brigade was prosperous, but the lives of other brigades in Dashui Commune were getting worse and worse. The worse the brigade was, the less motivated it was. In the end, the brigade could not keep up the production at all. Among those
The life of the educated young men who jumped in the brigade was not much better. The young men from the Xianjiqiao brigade were the most sought-after, and the pretty girls from the surrounding brigade were randomly selected. There was no one who was unwilling to marry into the Xianjiqiao brigade.
The life of Xianjiqiao Brigade is getting better, and there are many more beggars coming to Xianjiqiao Brigade to beg for rice.
"Where did there come from so many beggars in the village these days? Don't go out alone from now on." Chang Xing watched a beggar retreat from a house.
"Come on, come on, you come here every day, no matter how much food we have in Xianji Bridge, it won't be enough to send you off." Apparently, he was annoyed by the beggars who came to his door from time to time recently.
"There was a drought last year. Some brigades did not have water pumps like ours. They pumped water from the river for irrigation, and there were no reservoirs for irrigation. The seedlings died of drought and there was no harvest. There was no other way. In order to find a way to survive, we had to go out to beg for rice." Wu Wanyi
said.
"Who did you listen to?" Chang Xing asked strangely.
"The people in the brigade said so! Am I the only one who can talk to you every day?" Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Yes, you can already speak the dialect of Xianjiqiao now." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"What? It's not good? Are you afraid that I will hear you say bad things about me?" Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Yeah." Chang Xing smiled.
Zhou Hongbing ran over in a hurry.
"Red soldiers, why are you in such a hurry?" Chang Xing asked.
"Someone came to our garden and stole a lot of oranges. He just stole some, but he broke a lot of branches. I have to catch him today," Zhou Hongbing said.
"Do you know who he is?" Chang Xing asked.
Zhou Hongbing glanced at Wu Wanyi and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth: "I don't know, I didn't catch anyone on the spot."
For a smart person like Wu Wanyi, she already knew something about it just by looking at Zhou Hongbing. The educated young people who came later were mixed, and many of them had dirty hands and feet. After these people arrived at Xianji Bridge, they still went their own way and were full of bad deeds.
The base bridge is often stolen, which is simply unimaginable for the Xian base bridge that was not found on the road in the past.
But today's Xianjiqiao people have begun to slowly adapt to such an environment. When they go out, they no longer leave the door open, but lock it with a lock.
"Wanyi, you go back alone first, and I'll go take a look with the red soldier." Chang Xing said.
Wu Wanyi nodded: "Then you should be careful. Youth Farm is very different now from before."
Wu Wanyi sighed. Although she had become a person from Xianjiqiao, the Youth Farm was still her natal family. She felt a little embarrassed when her natal family did such a thing.
"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Don't take it to heart. Maybe they are not from Youth Farm." Chang Xing said.
"Teacher Wu, Chang Xing is right. Beggars often come to our brigade recently. Maybe it was the beggars who did it." Zhou Hongbing comforted him.
Wu Wanyi nodded, watched Chang Xing and Zhou Hongbing walk away, then shook her head slightly and walked home.
When we were approaching the entrance of Xianjiqiao Village, an old man was lying on the ground on the road, groaning in pain.
"Oh, oh, oh. It hurts me to death."
The old man's clothes were very tattered, and he had a cloth bag containing rice on his shoulders. At this time, the cloth bag fell to the side, and some white rice was splashed on the road.
"Old man? How are you?" Wu Wanyi was kind-hearted. When she saw the old man lying on the ground, she quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Ouch, it hurts me to death."
The old man didn't answer, but kept moaning in pain.
"Old man, where do you feel pain?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Ouch, it hurts me to death!"
The old man turned over slowly and tremblingly, finally revealing his face.
"ah!"
Wu Wanyi exclaimed.
What kind of face is this! A pair of eyes are deeply sunken, and the two eyeballs are very scary. I really don’t know how to describe it.
Wu Wanyi was completely frightened. Wu Wanyi quickly backed away, stood up and wanted to escape from here.
