Chapter 34: Ji Ning's Choice

The next day, Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan cleaned up the dormitory together. Fortunately, everyone didn't come back, and Lu Jinzhi stayed in the girls' dormitory for most of the day, waiting for it to be cleaned up. Lu Jinzhi suddenly said: "You want to decoct medicine now, it's inconvenient to live in the dormitory, why don't you live with me, it's closer to my dormitory, and I can help you make a medicine." ”

How could Tong Yan agree, Lu Jinzhi had no choice but to tell her: The medicine must be taken every day, otherwise the quilt will be moved to him. Tong Yan nodded in response. Lu Jinzhi gave Tong Yan a pen and a few pieces of paper, and said to Tong Yan: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I will type the marriage report, and I will take it later." When I went to work the day after tomorrow, I handed it in directly. Tong Yan glared at Lu Jinzhi: "What are you urging, it's urgent to write in two days." Lu Jinzhi resolutely refused: "Today's business is finished today." What are you procrastinating. After speaking, he opened the pen cap, stuffed it into Tong Yan's hand, and stared at her to write.

Tong Yan never wrote this thing at all, held it for a long time, and wrote four words - marriage application. Lu Jinzhi is in a hurry! Urging vigorously, Tong Yan became angry, put down the pen, and began to play tricks: "I can't write, you can write, I'll sign it." That look of Lai Pi made Lu Jinzhi happy. I had to take out my share from my pocket, hand it to Tong Yan, and let her draw a scoop according to the gourd. Tong Yan looked at it, two large pieces of paper, full of writing.

Tong Yan asked in surprise: "When was it written, why don't I know?" Lu Jinzhi replied to her angrily, "I wrote it last night." Tong Yan quickly shut up, okay, Lu Jinzhi is really in a hurry.

After scratching my ears and cheeks for a long time, I finally wrote the marriage application. Lu Jinzhi looked at it, carefully folded the two applications, stuffed them into his pocket, and left in style.

On the first day of work in the factory, a big news spread - Secretary Lu and Tong Yan were getting married. Tong Yan, as the heroine, was watched. Han Li looked at Tong Yan with a complicated expression, and held back her words for a long time: "Dogs that can bite people don't bark." Angry, Tong Yan grabbed a piece of peanut candy and threw it at Han Li. Han Li then silently stuffed it into her mouth. Accountant Xu came in, nodded to Tong Yan with a smile on her face, and Han Li said to Accountant Xu: "This time, should you criticize Tong Yan and let her focus on her work, and don't rush to find a partner." ”

Old man Xu held the teacup, drank slowly, and said slowly: "Plant a good plane tree to attract a phoenix." Now that the phoenix has flown in, why criticize her. Everyone was stunned. Old man Xu explained: "I let you work hard, and if you have your own work, naturally there will be good guys to catch up, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you have a partner, right?" Everyone suddenly felt that Old Man Xu's words were very reasonable. And Lu Jinzhi has an extra nickname - Phoenix.

Since it was no longer a secret to deal with Lu Jin, Tong Yan decided to tell her good friends about such a good thing, and before she could invite someone, when she got off work, Ji Ning and Li Fangfang had already come to the door. The two of them had unkind expressions, glaring at Tong Yan angrily, Tong Yan knew that she was at a loss, and quickly made a smile. The three of them went to call Wang Li again, and the four of them went to the house bought by Lu Jinzhi together. Li Fangfang sighed: Secretary Lu really has a bit of a family background, and he said that if he buys a house, he will buy a house, and the nests of the two are ready, and it seems that they can get married. Tong Yan was ridiculed, her face was red, and her ears were red.

Tong Yan asked a few people to sit first, went to the kitchen by herself, and took some food out of the space by the way, planning to cook by herself and invite a few good friends to eat. Several people were not idle, seeing Tong Yan busy, they also came to help. While working, his mouth is unforgiving. Several people complained that she was not enough friends, and she had never mentioned such a big matter to them. Tong Yan repeatedly told him to forgive, explaining: The matter was decided in a bit of a hurry, but it was definitely not hidden from everyone. Seeing that Tong Yan's attitude was quite correct, Ji Ning asked that when eating, he explained things clearly. The other two coaxed, and Tong Yan had to agree.

Just when the meal was cooked and ready to eat, Lu Jinzhi came back, and when he saw Tong Yan and them, Lu Jinzhi was also stunned, and Tong Yan hurriedly explained. Lu Jinzhi also knew that these girls had a good relationship with Tong Yan, so he politely asked everyone to sit without restraint.

Then, five people were crowded at a table, of course, Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi were huddled together, and the others sat on one side. Lu Jinzhi picked up the cup and thanked the three of them for taking care of Tong Yan on weekdays, and the three of them still had the impression of Lu Jinzhi in Secretary Lu's personality, so it was inevitable that they restrained their usual appearance and replied politely. Lu Jinzhi saw that they were restrained, ate something and left, and agreed with everyone to invite them to dinner another day.

When Lu Jinzhi went out, several people began to coax Tong Yan, and the four girls laughed together, but they were all amazed by Tong Yan's good vision and happy that she had found a good home. Li Fangfang also specially reminded everyone not to forget that in a few days it will be the day of her marriage, and she wants everyone to go to the banquet.

The congratulatory gifts of several people were sent in advance, knowing that marriage would cost money, so they were given in advance. Li Fangfang's mother felt very embarrassed after receiving everyone's gifts, and several people gave more than ordinary relatives, so when arranging for relatives to eat, she also invited Tong Yan and them.

When it came to the right day, Tong Yan and the others went to help, although the current wedding was not too extravagant, but there were many relatives and neighbors, so it was inevitable that they would be in a hurry. Tong Yan helped bring a cup of tea, boil some water, send a candy or something, looking at Li Fangfang's family who were busy going back and forth, Tong Yan felt that her head was big.

The wedding officially began, and the two newlyweds were wearing green military uniforms, which was Tong Yan's so-called simplified version, with a big red flower on her chest, which made their faces flush. The newlyweds stood in the middle of the room, first bowed three times to the great statue, then bowed three times to the guests, and bowed to each other, and then everyone sang "Dongfang Hong" and "The Sea Sails by the Helmsman", reciting a few quotations. Some young people with active temperaments also perform small shows, and a wedding is also lively.

Tong Yan looked at a strong music, although she had also participated in Han Li's wedding before, but after all, she and Han Li were not close, and now looking at Li Fangfang and Han Yong, Tong Yan was a little touched. Han Yong also saw Tong Yan, he hadn't seen him for a while, Tong Yan was more attractive than before, but the little throbbing in Han Yong's heart had disappeared, just like his mother said: Live your life, live your life, what you can live together is life. Han Yong looked down at his little wife, everyone will be happy, this is good.

Li Fangfang's wedding has just ended, and the machinery factory has reported big news that Wu Beijiang and Luo Ximei are getting married. It turned out that Luo Ximei took advantage of the holiday and returned to the village, wanting to solve the matter of marriage, this matter also made a lot of trouble in the village, and the Yan family felt embarrassed, agreed to withdraw from the family, and made conditions: return the original amount of the bride price, in addition to this, 20 yuan as compensation.

The bride price should also be returned, twenty yuan is the lion's mouth, in the village, twenty yuan as a bride price can find a daughter-in-law, the Yan family wants the Luo family to help with the bride price, the Luo family must not agree. The two families are fighting and arguing for this reason, and the quarrel is inseparable.

In the end, the heads of the two villages came forward and discussed for a long time, and finally decided: the bride price must be returned, and the compensation will be changed to ten yuan. The problem is that it will take a lot of effort to withdraw the bride price, and it is impossible for the Luo family to make up ten yuan. Luo Ximei was also a little thoughtful, she hid some money in hand, returned the bride price, and Wu Beijiang paid ten yuan to end the matter. Originally, everyone was happy, but the Luo family had another moth, and asked Wu Beijiang for a bride price, Wu Beijiang meant, I paid ten yuan, and the bride price can only mean something. The Luo family is unwilling, inside and outside of the words, Luo Ximei's reputation is gone in order to marry you, you need the scenery to take Luo Ximei into the door, and Luo Ximei is a high school student, so she must have more bride price. Wu Beijiang was so angry that he didn't talk about it if he was not sincere, so he simply went home directly.

Just when things were at an impasse, the marriage application was approved. Luo Ximei still feels sorry for Wu Beijiang and knows Wu Beijiang's family conditions, so she coping with her family in face, secretly took out the household registration book, and pulled a marriage certificate with Wu Beijiang.

When the dust settled, the Luo family had no choice but to agree. Wu Beijiang was also moved by Luo Ximei's maintenance, and took out another five yuan to the Luo family.

The Luo family was not happy, so naturally they would not give a dowry. A simple two-bed quilt and a little clothes, a simple wedding, Luo Ximei married into the Wu family. The Wu family has nothing but the necessary daily necessities. The wedding room is the original house of Wu Beijiang, and the candy is all bulk candy. Han Li pursed her lips when she got the candy, and muttered to Tong Yan in a low voice: It's really stingy, it doesn't cost much to buy some fruit candy! A pound of fruit candy is nine cents and six, and the standard of two candies per person can be divided into many people.

Tong Yan just shook her head, the conditions are not good now, but there are many people who get married in the unit at this stage, and it is indeed rare to find someone like the Wu family.

Tong Yan started a new class teaching, but fortunately, the training point of the class was located in the textile factory, which was very close to the machinery factory. Tong Yan goes once a week, but the foundation of these people is not as good as the first batch, so she speaks slowly, and she has to give individual instructions one by one, and after a class, Tong Yan is tired and her throat is dumb. Ji Ning took the initiative to ask Ying to be Tong Yan's little assistant, which reduced Tong Yan's workload.

At the end of the class that day, Ji Ning's face was ugly, Tong Yan didn't know what to do, and asked Ji Ning, Ji Ning was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "Tong Yan, I'm leaving." After saying that, tears flowed down his face. Tong Yan was startled, "Where are you going, why did you leave the textile factory?" she was busy wiping Ji Ning's tears, but Ji Ning's tears couldn't be stopped.

After crying for a long time, Ji Ning finally said that she was going to be an educated youth, because this year started the movement of educated youth going to the countryside, the Ji family has many children, and she must go to one, Ji Ning has an elder brother, but the brother is about to get married, and the future sister-in-law naturally does not agree, and lets it out, if she goes to be an educated youth, she will directly cut off her family.

The younger brothers and sisters below are still young, and Ji Ning can't bear to let his younger brothers and sisters go, so he plans to go by himself. As long as there is one educated youth in the family, the others can continue to stay at home. The family is now worried about this matter and has no intention of doing things, and Ji Ning has only this choice. Tong Yan hugged Ji Ning's shoulder, but couldn't comfort her. This is the trend of the next few years, and no one can avoid it.

Tong Yan returned to Lu Jinzhi's house listlessly, sat silently on the kang, did not turn on the light, and sat alone in the dark for a long, long time.
