Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

21 Xiang Qiang Engagement

As the sky gradually darkened, Ji Qinglan stopped practicing for today and silently turned off the panel. Although she was exhausted and sweating profusely, her eyes were full of stars and she was in high spirits.

Xincheng drank the milk and fell asleep again. He was really well-behaved. He would eat and play for a while, sleep when he was tired, and eat again when he woke up. He would not cry or make a fuss even if his mother didn’t hold him or play with him. He could play with Xiaohei for an entire afternoon.

I wonder if Liang Qian, who stepped on them and their son to get to the top in his previous life, ever regretted it.

Xiao Hei was sleeping next to Xin Cheng, and the man and the cat were sleeping peacefully.

After stopping, Ji Qinglan realized that his stomach was empty and he was very hungry.

She ran to the kitchen, took out the remaining two pancakes, heated them up, and ate them greedily.

Still feeling hungry, she cooked another bowl of rice, took out the dried rabbit meat that Han Yuanjun had given her last time, cut a few potatoes, made a pot of fragrant braised rabbit meat, and stir-fried a handful of vegetables.

It was also because her home was far away, unlike those in the team where the doors were next to each other and the walls were facing each other. Otherwise, she would have eaten white rice and meat every day, and would have made people hate her.

Ji Qinglan, who looked so hungry that he could eat a whole cow, only ate a small portion in the end.

After dinner, I practiced for a while and took a nice bath before going to bed.

The sixth day of system subsidies: 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of millet, 100 kilograms of canned food, 100 kilograms of cotton, and 100 pieces of cloth. It was another day of getting something for nothing.

Ji Qinglan didn't go anywhere all day and just practiced Wing Chun in the house.

She hid in the house and secretly became stronger. Today's Red River Brigade was particularly lively.

Today is the day when Captain Xiang's second son, Xiang Qiang, gets engaged to Widow Li from the team. The Xiang family prepared a banquet with ten tables and invited the village committee, Xiang clan members, and neighbors in the village who have a very good relationship with them.

Ji Qinglan and other educated youth were naturally not qualified to go.

The eldest brother Xiang Guo's family and the fourth brother Xiang Jun who lived in the town all came back, and the family was rarely together.

It was very lively.

Widow Li Xiaoya was wearing a brand new bright red jacket with peony flowers. She sat next to Xiang Qiang, looking like a little bird, with a charming look in her eyes and a face redder than an apple.

It has to be said that although Li Xiaoya is reunited for the second time, she looks even younger and more beautiful than Xiang Qiang, with a goose-yellow face, a figure as graceful as a willow, and a sense of gentleness all over her body.

No wonder Xiang Qiang has always been thinking about her.

Xiang Qiang was smiling like a fool today, and the two of them sitting together were a perfect combination of beauty and the beast.

The scene was lively and the banquet was luxurious. In order to eliminate the adverse effects of Xiang Qiang being in jail, the Xiang family spent a large amount of money to prepare eight dishes, three of which were meat dishes.

The villagers who sat at the table were all enjoying the food with their mouths full of satisfaction.

Niu Guixiang was also among them. Her father, Zhang, was the village secretary, so she was naturally among those invited.

She sat together with several women from the Xiang clan, eating and chatting. Captain Xiang's third sister-in-law also sat here to greet the guests.

During the meal, Niu Guixiang looked around and suddenly asked the third sister-in-law of the Xiang family who was looking for meat in the dish across the table: "It's strange. Today is such an important day, why don't we see Lanlan? I haven't seen her for more than a year."

"Yes, I haven't seen Lanlan for a long time. Where did she go?" Another woman immediately took over the conversation.

The captain's third daughter-in-law quickly grabbed a piece of fat meat and put it into her mouth, chewing it while explaining the doubts to everyone.

"Lanlan, she is very lucky. She went to her aunt's house in the city to learn a craft. Don't you know this?"

"We don't know! No one told us about this. What skill did she go to learn?" Niu Guixiang was confused. They were in the village every day and had never heard of this.

"I heard that she went to learn how to make clothes and learn a skill."

"Ah!" Niu Guixiang was shocked. She had to go to another place to learn how to make clothes? There were many people in her village who could make clothes.

The woman found another piece of meat to eat, and gnashed her teeth mysteriously with Niu Guixiang.

"You don't understand. I heard that the conditions there are very good, with white rice, fish and meat every day. The captain wants Lanlan to find a partner there."

"Oh." Niu Guixiang said, thinking that Captain Xiang was really willing to send his daughter far away.

I heard that Lanlan's aunt had married and moved to the city, and she could only come back a few times a year, but the team leader was willing to let Xiang Lanlan marry to her.

The woman continued to talk mysteriously with Niu Guixiang.

"A few days ago, I heard from Xiang Guo's mother that Lan Lan has already been engaged to a man. They said the conditions are very good. She lives in the city and has a job. With this amount of monthly salary, they can also bring her to the city to eat commercial grain."

Niu Guixiang opened her eyes wide, and the food on the table no longer smelled delicious.

"Really!"

As she shouted, the others at the table also pricked up their ears to listen.

"That's right, but I heard that person is divorced from the previous one and has a son who is only half a year old."

"Ah! Won't Lanlan become a mother right away if she gets married?" someone exclaimed.

"What's the big deal? The Xiang family is really lucky that he is attracted to Lanlan with such good conditions." A woman's eyes sparkled with tears of envy.

"That's right. Lanlan will be a city dweller once she gets married."

"I don't know what he looks like. What if he's an old man?"

"How could that be possible! I haven't heard that my son is only half a year old, so he must be less than 25."

"It's hard to say. Maybe the eldest son can work now." He continued to feel jealous.

"That's not bad. I'm willing to marry someone older."

"You..., someone like you, even if you call him dad, he won't look down on you!"

"Hey! That's too much!" A few people laughed and gradually moved away from the topic.

"Now that Lanlan is a city dweller, will she come back?" Niu Guixiang asked.

"Why come back? There's nothing good about this place. I can't fill my stomach, I have endless work to do, and when it rains, I step into the mud..."

……

Everyone was talking about it, and soon the news that Captain Xiang's daughter had married a divorced city man with a child spread throughout the village.

Ji Qinglan's home was far away, and he only heard the news from someone who was curious about the matter the next day.

Needless to say, the city dweller who is remarried and has a baby must be Liang Qian.

That child is also Xiang Lanlan’s biological son.

The Xiang family is really good at scheming. They first release the news that Xiang Lanlan married a divorced man with a child. Then, even if everyone knows that the man is Liang Qian, no one will doubt anything.

In the next two days, Ji Qinglan was busy practicing martial arts. Sometimes he would carry his son on his back to walk around the village to relax his muscles.

Now the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village would greet her when they saw her and invite her to sit down and talk with them.

Some of these people truly sympathized with her for being without support at such a young age, while others simply wanted to hear gossip.

Li Xiaoya was also among them. Since she got engaged to Xiang Qiang and successfully married into the captain's family, her status in the village has risen. In the past, those people in the village always laughed at her for having a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes. But now, the situation is reversed. They will also pull her and talk to her happily.

Today, Ji Qinglan and Li Xiaoya sat together.

The place where they were sitting was a sales agency in the village. The villagers liked to sit here and talk when they had nothing to do.
