Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chengcheng kept one can of malted milk and gave the other to Bai Lixing.

……

Only a few days later, when the sowing in the field was completed, the team leader arranged another task - fertilizing.

In terms of fertilization, the village originally used a combination of manure and wood ash.

Chemical fertilizers have appeared in this era. With the advent of chemical fertilizers, we no longer have to carry animal manure for irrigation, and the work is much easier.

Just three bags of fertilizer can be poured on ten acres of corn to increase yield.

People were assigned to bring the newly arrived fertilizers and pour them into the fields in order. The villagers taught the educated youth how and how much to pour.

Strength lies in numbers. In just one morning, fertilizer had been spread on the land of the entire village.

There is also an indescribable smell about the busy educated youth.

It should take five or six days for the smell of fertilizer to fade away after it is first applied.

The villagers are all looking forward to the arrival of spring rain so that the crops in the fields can absorb the fertilizer as soon as possible.

At this time of year every year, the team leader will estimate the date based on the weather conditions, and will arrange people to apply fertilizer only when the sky starts to turn cloudy.

As expected, it started raining in the afternoon.

The educated youth were given the opportunity to rest for half a day.

Everyone had a happy look on their face, and they were sitting under the eaves with their little stools and chatting.

Some educated youth were quietly reading books in the house.

Cheng Cheng and Bai Lixing had already gone to the captain's house wearing rain boots and raincoats to roast sweet potatoes.

These days, they have been eating at the captain's house for a long time and have become closer to this family.

Every time they cook for the captain's family, they cook without any selfish motives and put out any delicious food for everyone to eat together. It is because of their generosity that Bai Lixing is extremely grateful to them, also called Chengcheng.

After so many days in the countryside, their faces have become rounder. This is still with their controlled eating. If they let it go, they would get even fatter.

They don't want to become a unique and beautiful scenery in the village, being stared at and treated like monkeys wherever they go.

This time they brought not only sweet potatoes but also shanks, which are perfect for making soup. If the captain has children at home, they can grow stronger if they eat more of them.

……

By autumn, Cheng Cheng and Bai Lixing's house was finally completed after much haste.

The two of them also hurriedly packed their luggage and took it to their new home. They wanted to hold a banquet to entertain everyone, but there was not enough space in the house, so they planned to prepare the food at home and deliver some to each household.

It was a happy occasion.

No one in the team objected to this. Since this was an activity that didn't require any money to be spent, it was good to be able to eat something.

Before deciding what to cook, Cheng Cheng and Bai Lixing discussed and considered various factors, and they finally unanimously decided to make Eight Treasure Rice Pudding.

The meaning of this dish is very close to their moving into a new home, and it is the good wishes they hope to realize in this new house.

And relatively speaking, the ingredients for this dish are easier to buy than meat.

Because they had to prepare food for the entire village, Cheng Cheng and Bai Lixing asked the captain's family to help.

The glutinous rice has been soaked last night. Now all you have to do is spread it out in the steamer and steam it for twenty minutes. When the time is up, take it out, add sugar and lard and mix well. This will make the glutinous rice soft and delicious.

At this time, another person is needed to wash the red dates, break them open and take out the seeds, then cut the red dates into pieces and put them into the basin.

Place preserved fruits, longan, lotus seeds, millet kernels, red bean paste, raisins, nuts and the like on top, add the mixed glutinous rice and steam for another 25 minutes.

After steaming, carefully take out the bowl, wait until it cools down, then use a knife to separate the glutinous rice from the edge of the bowl, pour it out and serve it in equal proportions.

After working for two hours, they had served all the eight-treasure rice pudding to everyone, and the remaining portions were just enough for them to eat.

Compared to the trouble of preparing a meat feast, making this eight-treasure rice pudding is relatively simple.

……

Chengcheng also told her family about their relationship, but her family has not yet recognized Bai Lixing's identity.

This is also related to the fact that they have never met. The family is happy to see Chengcheng break out of Chen Xincheng's circle, but they also don't want to see her enter another circle.

Although Cheng Cheng also told her family about Bai Lixing's family past, the Zhong family members were still unable to accept him.

Although her parents had not yet agreed to it, Chengcheng had already agreed to it in private.

Ever since she met Bai Lixing after going to the countryside, she has found him to be a very reliable person in their daily interactions.

Besides, she didn't believe that Bai Lixing could act like a spoiled brat in her current condition.

My parents’ disapproval is only temporary. I believe they will be able to accept him after we get along with him after returning home.

So a few days after moving into their new home, Cheng Cheng and Bai Lixing went to the city to officially get their marriage certificate.

There aren't so many requirements for getting a marriage certificate these days; two people can become husband and wife willingly.

But there are still very few people who get married in rural areas. Most of them just have a wedding banquet and live together.

After getting their marriage certificate, they continued to live their lives as before, sleeping in separate rooms.

In Bai Lixing's mind, getting the marriage certificate means that he and she have been legally recognized, but this does not mean that they are married.

In his heart, he still felt that it would be more perfect if a ceremony was held.

So I made a plan and started to implement it. I went to the Youth League Home to discuss it with the educated youth, and then I decided on it with the team leader.

After taking this step, his plan began to be implemented.

He first coaxed Chengcheng to wear some nice clothes and said that he had invited a photographer to the Youth League Institute to take pictures, and it was a good opportunity to take wedding photos.

Then they took her to the Youth League Home where everyone else was awake except her, and everyone started to give their blessings while taking photos.

It was at this moment that Chengcheng realized that today was not the day they came to the Youth League Institute to take wedding photos, but a premeditated wedding ceremony.

No wonder Bai Lixing asked her to dress more formally even though he was wearing a suit today.

She thought he was talking about taking photos to look photogenic, so she also wore a red skirt suit.

If she had known this would happen, she would have dressed up better.

After she agreed, Cheng Cheng was carried on Bai Lixing's back. The villagers stood on both sides of the road to bless them. They threw ribbons at them and wished them a happy future.

Until I returned to my new home and carried it to his room.

Things have changed here too.

When I left, there was nothing strange. When I came back, there were double happiness characters hanging on the windows, and the quilts were replaced with wedding quilts. There were also many more large items in the room.

Even the yard began to have a wedding atmosphere.

While Bai Lixing was entertaining the guests, Chengcheng took out a small mirror and looked at herself.

Today's accident happened too quickly, and she took this step without any preparation.

After getting the marriage certificate, the two of them moved very slowly. She thought that this man would only live in the same room with her after she returned home to see her parents.
