The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

This is a betrothal gift prepared according to the market conditions in the city.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and finally Miao Shiwen reacted first and raised his thumb: "Ming Zheng, you are serious."

Indeed, not only the five hundred yuan, but also the Seagull watch in Zhu Xiaomin's hand cost more than two hundred yuan. Although semiconductors are cheaper, they cannot be bought with money.

Not to mention in the village, this bride price is already sky-high. Even in the city, a two-income family may not be able to save it without eating or drinking for a year.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't expect there to be so many. She looked at Lu Mingzheng, her smile slowly faded away, and then looked at the table: "Why are there still more?"

Lu Mingzheng took out another pair of leather cotton shoes with rubber soles from his bag and said with a smile, "It's hard to find this color, so I'd better ask someone to get them."

Wang Xiaoya saw the dark red high-waisted cotton shoes with a ring of white hair on them. She quickly grabbed them and looked around, exclaiming: "They are really beautiful."

Lu Mingzheng smiled, took another paper bag, opened it, and inside was a brand new piece of red corduroy. He said to Zhu Xiaomin: "I didn't see any suitable clothes in the mall, so I had to cut some pieces of material. I thought there was still more than a month, so I should There’s enough time.”

This is for her to make new clothes for her wedding.

Zhu Xiaomin took it, her fingers trembling unconsciously.

This has never happened in the previous life.

Zhang Qiaomei said next to her: "Look for Mrs. Chen, her skills are much better, don't waste the good ingredients."

Miao Shiwen nodded immediately: "If you can't make it in time, I can go over and help."

Wang Xiaoya reached out and touched it, her eyes brightened: "Sister Xiaomin will look very beautiful when she wears it."

Several male educated youths nodded in agreement and stared at their satchels.

Lu Mingzheng then took it out. Behind him were two large bags of candies, one containing fruit candies with wrappers, and the other containing individual pieces of rock candy.

It seems to be something for weddings.

After taking out the two packets of candy, the big satchel was deflated. Xing Qingsheng was curious: "There is another big bag over there. What did you get?"

Lu Mingzheng pulled the sack over again and took out everything: "I went back and said I was getting married. These are congratulatory gifts from my colleagues. I am going to the army soon and I have nowhere to put them, so I brought them all."

The first thing he took out were two enamel washbasins stacked with double "囍" printed on them. Inside were two brand-new towels and two bright red soap boxes. There were also two flashlights squeezed next to them.

Xie Chengzhi said with a smile: "Two days ago, Xiaomin talked about buying it in the county, so here it is."

Lu Mingzheng smiled and said nothing, then went out to get something. After that, he found a pair of thermos bottles with red iron shells, a set of teapots and cups, two enamel jars with big red 囍 characters, two iron boxes of tea leaves, and a handful from the back. Brand new tin kettle.

Song Zhian couldn't help laughing: "No wonder there are so many things."

Zhu Xiaomin also looked funny and asked him, "You didn't say you were marrying a village girl?"

It's really hard to resist giving him these things.

Lu Mingzheng also laughed: "It's hard to deny everyone's wishes." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the teapot and took out a bag of sugar from inside.

Miao Shiwen couldn't help but laugh: "This teapot doesn't take up much space by itself."

Zhu Xiaomin said "Hey" and asked, "Isn't there already candy?"

Lu Mingzheng explained: "This pack is toffee, a little less."

So he prepared three kinds of sugar alone, which was enough.

Zhu Xiaomin opened the bag and saw a pack of White Rabbit toffee. She took one out, peeled it open, and put it in Sero Ye's mouth.

Luo Ye has never eaten milk candy in his life. When he tasted the sweet milky aroma, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he couldn't bear to chew it, so he had to hold it in his mouth and sip it slowly.

Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his head, put another pill in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't eat it all at once, be careful of bad teeth."

Luo Ye nodded, not daring to speak for fear of the candy falling out.

Lu Mingzheng finally took out another bag: "There is no rice here, so I will bring more this time." As he said that, he took out a bag of rice, which was estimated to be fifty kilograms.

Yes, everyone was reluctant to finish the more than ten kilograms of rice last time, but they counted the portions.

When everyone saw it, it immediately became more lively, and everyone was happier than a child eating candy.

After rummaging through all the things Lu Mingzheng brought, everyone was so happy that they helped clean up and started preparing dinner.

Luo Ye ran back to the inner courtyard, rushed directly into the house where his father and son lived, rushed to Luo Tingyuan, took the candy in his hand and gave it to him, covered his mouth with one hand and said, "Dad, eat candy."

Luo Tingyuan asked: "Where did it come from?"

"Brother Lu brought it." Luo Ye replied, trying to peel off the candy wrapper.

Luo Tingyuan smiled and shook his head, holding his hand down: "Dad doesn't want to eat, you keep it and eat it slowly."

Luo Ye bit the candy and showed it to him, then covered his mouth: "I ate one."

Luo Tingyuan said with a smile: "Only children like to eat sweets, but dad doesn't." He rubbed his head, listened to the faint laughter coming from the front yard, and thought about the two people who were getting married soon. He smiled consciously. It turned out that some unknown emotions lingering in his heart had disappeared without a trace.

What a beautiful girl, in such an environment and such difficult conditions, she still lives a firm and dazzling life.

She just met another man who was equally good, courageous, persevering and responsible.

With such a combination of two people, he could almost foresee their wonderful future.

Seeing that he was determined not to eat it, Luo Ye wrapped the peeled candy wrapper back. The candy in his mouth had softened and his sip was smaller. He started talking nonchalantly about what happened in the front yard just now. , stopped again, and said with some melancholy: "Dad, sister Xiaomin is really leaving, isn't she?"

he does not know……

Luo Tingyuan's heart was covered with a veil, which was quickly removed. He sighed and whispered: "Don't ask her these words. If she wants to leave, she will come and say goodbye to us by herself."

Luo Ye nodded, lying next to him, resting his head on his arm, and listened to the sounds in the outer courtyard.

He felt that his life now was peaceful and beautiful, and he hoped it could continue like this forever. However, from what the educated youth brothers and sisters said, it seemed that life in the city was better, so he didn't know if he wanted Sister Xiaomin to return. Went to town.

Also, what is the city really like?

The sound coming from the semiconductor box was something he had never heard before. It sounded like the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters, but not exactly like it.

That night, everyone went from the courtyard to the house and dispersed until late at night. Zhu Xiaomin followed Lu Mingzheng into the inner courtyard, stopped in front of the house, and then asked: "Do you have something to say to me?"

The whole night, he picked up things and talked about the wedding, but he didn't mention a word about his family.

Lu Mingzheng was silent for a moment, sighed, opened his arms and hugged her gently. After a while, he said in a choked voice: "We are getting married, but my family... probably won't be able to come."
