Chapter Eighty-Three: An Awkward Old Man

When Ming Nuan and Ming He returned to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, they looked at their watches, and there was still half an hour before departure, so they decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some things first.

The supply and marketing cooperatives here cannot be compared with the department stores in Jeshi, and there are many fewer departments in terms of scale and products. Ming Nuan and Ming He walked to the non-staple food area, took out the meat ticket and oil ticket and bought some cooking oil and meat.

When I went back, the sun was already high in the sky, and it was very hot, and I tried to walk under the shade of the trees as much as possible, in order to be cooler.

"Xiao Huo, do you have anything to do when you go to the county seat this time?" An aunt asked when she saw that Ming Nuan and Ming He didn't have much in their hands, but they hadn't seen them before.

"Yes, Auntie, my dad has an old friend here, let's go visit him." Minghe replied.

"Auntie, what about you, is there any joy in the family when you buy so many things?" Ming Nuan saw that the lady had bought a double happiness basin, a pot with red double happiness printed on it, and some other daily necessities, so she asked.

Sure enough, the aunt's face bloomed with a smile that couldn't be hidden.

An aunt next to her said: "His family is going to marry his daughter-in-law in two days, isn't this a great joy." ”

"yes, if you're still here that day, I'll come with your eldest brother for a drink." Aunt sent a warm invitation to Mingnuan and Minghe.

"Okay aunt, if we haven't left that day, we will definitely go, and touch the joy of your family." Ming Nuan happily agreed.

Ming Nuan has not participated in an authentic rural wedding until now, and she wants to go to see it for a long time.

After returning home, while Mingyang and Bai Weilie hadn't finished work yet, Mingnuan quickly mixed a cold dish and made an egg soup, waiting for them to come back.

"Nuan Nuan, you really don't know that you are tired and sunbathed outside, and it is really comfortable to be able to eat such a cool side dish when you come back." Bai Weilie made an exaggerated look of enjoyment.

"It's delicious, you don't eat a little more, what do you say." Ming Nuan said with a smile.

Ming Nuan and Ming He told Mingyang and Bai Weilie what happened to Lin Wei today, and everyone agreed that the only question now was whether the village chief was willing to give them a certificate.

"Except for this matter, the village chief has always been relatively fair and just, and I believe he will not embarrass us too much." Mingyang put down his chopsticks and thought about it carefully and said, Bai Weilie nodded on the side and agreed.

Under the scorching sun, with the captain's rest, everyone ran to the shade of the trees on the ground to take a cool, Mingyang and Bai Weilie took out the military kettle full of mung bean soup and drank it fiercely, it was cold, not to mention how comfortable.

"This hellish weather, why is it getting hotter and hotter, it was cloudy a few days ago, and it's all sunny days these days." A junior in the village complained.

"You know, the more sunny days, the more solid the corn grows." A man in his forties and fifties sat next to him, unbuttoned and took a sip of cold water, and said to the descendants beside him.

"That being said, it's been a bit too hot these days." Another big man plucked a large leaf and fanned the wind and said.

"Isn't that the village chief, why did he come here?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the dirt road to the east. Isn't that the village chief the one who staggered over?

The village chief approached and saw his hands behind his back, wearing a white undershirt, unbuttoned to reveal his belly, swaying, and smiling as if something good had happened.

"Uncle Village Chief, why are you here, are you here to supervise the work?" Just now, the latter waved his arm as he spoke, and the people next to him laughed when they heard it.

"Just come to the overseer to see if you're lazy? I'm not going to be caught doing it, I'm lazy. The village chief also said with the joke of the young man just now.

Everyone around him burst out laughing.

"That's it, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow for my family Yingzi and Shui Sheng, everyone comes to celebrate and celebrate." The village chief walked under the shade of the tree and said.

Everyone was silent for a second or two, and they all said that they would definitely go, and they would definitely go.

Because of the constraints of the countryside, not everyone has to hold a wedding banquet, and most people only hold a wedding banquet when they get married, but Yingzi's matter is special. The village chief couldn't bear to have others say about Yingzi's gossip, so he decided to hold an engagement banquet first to block the mouths of Youyou.

After finishing business, the village chief chatted with everyone again. But he ignored Mingyang and Bai Weilie from beginning to end, and when the village chief left, he still took his hand behind his back, turned his head and took two steps forward, as if he remembered something, he turned to Mingyang and Bai Weilie and said, "That day, you guys should come too." ”

"Don't worry, we'll be there on time that day." Mingyang agreed.

"This village chief is really interesting, I saw it clearly just now, he glanced at us several times, obviously wanted to talk to us but didn't say it, but in the end he pretended to remember and told us, but he was really a twisted old man." Watching the village chief walk away, Bai Weilie bumped Mingyang's arm and said.

After getting off work, Mingyang and Bai Weilie went back and told Ming Nuan and Ming He about it, and after thinking about it, Ming Nuan felt that this showed that the village chief didn't mind Mingyang's reluctance to marry Yingzi, so the chances of success in what they wanted to do were much greater.

At night, Ming Nuan lay on Luo Wenwen and Hua Xiao'e's kang, and although there were twists and turns in the past few days of thinking about it, it was still smooth.

"Did you sleep Mingnuan?" Luo Wenwen, who was lying next to Ming Nuan, asked softly.

"No, Sister Luo, do you have anything?"

"Do you know that Lian Ying is going to get engaged to Wang Shuisheng?"

"I've heard that."

"Fortunately, Lian Ying and Wang Shuisheng are engaged, do you know, she wanted to marry your brother before, but fortunately, Huo Mingyang didn't agree to marry her." Her dissatisfaction could be heard in Luo Wenwen's voice.

Even if Ming Nuan didn't want Lian Ying to marry Huo Mingyang, she also knew very well that Lian Ying and the village chief were also forced to be helpless, and they were not bad in nature, she didn't like this, saying bad things behind her back.

"It's too late, Sister Luo, let's go to sleep, don't disturb Sister Xiao'e to rest." Ming Nuan was in no mood to continue to communicate with Luo Wenwen.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Shui Sheng and Lian Ying got engaged, and on this day, Mingyang and Bai Weilie still had to go to work as usual, but they had to go to Shui Sheng's house for dinner at noon.

They had already instructed Ming Nuan and Ming He to go early, and Nuan Nuan took out a piece of flower cloth from the box as an engagement gift for Lian Ying and Shui Sheng.

Many families in Shili and Eight Villages are related to each other. Therefore, early this morning, there were many women in Lianchigou who went to the Shuisheng family to help, and Ming Nuan and Minghe didn't know the way to the Shuisheng's house, so they followed these women.

The aquatic home is a small yard, adobe house, the house is not high, it can be seen that the living conditions of the aquatic family are not very good, but the whole yard is clean, even if there are chickens and pigs, there is no peculiar smell.

Many people had already come to the courtyard, and many women were busy with their work. Ming Nuan saw Shui Sheng and a few young men setting up tables, chairs and benches in the yard.

In the countryside, you can feel a particularly deep human touch, who has a red and white affair. Relatives and neighbors will enthusiastically come to help, this kind of help is not paid at any cost, even if people are too busy to come, they will also lend their own tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans to the family to show their love.

Ming Nuan handed the gift to Shui Shengniang, Shui Shengniang shirked it for a long time before accepting it, Ming Nuan saw that there were already many people in the kitchen, and she couldn't help anything if she went in, so she took a basin of water and walked to the corner and washed the dishes with a few other little girls.

Unexpectedly, Lian Nana, who came to her before, was also here.

"Xiaoju, why didn't she come with you?" Ming Nuan squatted next to Lian Nana and asked.

"Xiaoju is Yingzi's cousin, she will come with Yingzi in a while." Lian Nana said and introduced several other little girls to Ming Nuan.
