After explaining everything that needed to be explained, the mother and daughter set off for the county.

Xiaohe Village is not far from the county town, only an hour's walk away. They set out at about 7:30 and arrived at the county town at 8:30.

The two men split up.

Liu Fangzhi went to buy meat and vegetables, while Su Yuanyuan went to buy her dowry.

When getting married in the countryside, people don't care about the three turns and one ring, or the thirty-six legs. The bride's dowry usually consists of some washbasins, thermos bottles, cloths, pillows, quilts, etc. Usually, not all of them are prepared, but having a few pieces is considered quite good.

Su Yuanyuan had reached the age for marriage, and Liu Fangzhi had prepared a big red pillow and a big red quilt for her early in the morning. When she returned to the county, she bought a red washbasin, a kettle and other things.

The betrothal gift given by the man was generous but also perfunctory. Su Yuanyuan originally thought that she should not rush for it and just buy some dowry casually, one or two items would be enough as a formality. Later, thinking that she could use these things if she took them with her, she obediently bought them according to Liu Fangzhi's instructions.

A pair of red washbasins, two red towels, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a mouthwash cup... Fortunately, they were not expensive. All I spent was a few tickets and ten dollars.

Liu Fangzhi has more flowers.

She had no meat coupons, only money, so she could only go to the black market to buy meat. She spent five dollars on five pounds of meat.

I was also worried that if my daughter only had money but no coupons, she would not be able to spend the money. What if she didn't eat well at her husband's house and couldn't even have a meal in a state-owned restaurant? I couldn't take the risk of buying things on the black market like her, so I gritted my teeth and spent more than ten yuan to exchange for a lot of grain coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, etc.

At half past nine, the mother and daughter met at the agreed place.

Liu Fangzhi checked the things Su Yuanyuan bought, and seeing that she did not do her job properly, she took her back with satisfaction.

Xiaojiu was online all the way, but unfortunately, Su Yuanyuan only went to places she had been to before, so there were not many new sights for it to scan. After one trip, it didn't even accumulate ten points.

This time it was Su Yuanyuan's turn to comfort it and tell it to stay calm.

Although these years were poor, no matter how prosperous the future generations were, all the developments had come from these years. Many precious heritages had not been cut off, but had just been hidden a little deeper.

There is a long time to go, so she can just dig slowly.

When the mother and daughter arrived home, the people Su Qiu Sheng had called to help set up the table had already arrived.

The so-called banquet is a big pot of stewed pork with radish, cabbage and the staple food steamed corn bread.

Although Liu Fangzhi didn't bring back the meat, that didn't stop the aunts from cutting the radish and cabbage and steaming the mixed flour steamed buns in advance.

As soon as her meat arrived, she gasped several times, "Hiss—Fangzi, you are so generous today? So much meat! Are you going to cook it all?"

Liu Fangzhi smiled brightly and waved her hand, "We've done it all! Today is my daughter's big day, let everyone eat to their heart's content!"

"Got it!"

In the yard, there was a clever kid who ran quickly to inform his friends who were not coming home today.

The fat woman's family is cooking meat today! You'd be missing out if you don't come!

Liu Fangzhi was happy to see this happen. Today, the more people came to the banquet, the better. She was not afraid of losing out!

After arranging the table, she looked towards the village entrance.

My son-in-law should come by jeep today.

He didn't know that his daughter had already woken up. The original plan was to finish the wedding today and then take her back to the hospital.

Now it seems that there is no need to go back to the hospital, just go back to their home.

In fact, she asked her son-in-law to come later, knowing that it was still early, but she just couldn't help but want to go and see.

Thinking that by that time, all the villagers who were coming to the feast would have arrived, the son-in-law's jeep stopped at the gate of the courtyard, the door opened, and a man in military uniform got out of the car...

Just thinking about that scene, Liu Fangzhi couldn't stop smiling.

Unexpectedly, the villagers who were going to the banquet had not arrived yet, and she had only looked towards the village entrance about ten times, but the jeep was already coming, bumping and jolting on the dirt road in the countryside.

Xu Jianli got out of the car in a neat military uniform. Facing Liu Fangzhi, he looked even more cold and reserved than the day he rescued her.

Facing her surprised and regretful look, he explained succinctly, "It's not polite to come too late. Su Yuanyuan is still ill. I'm afraid something might happen to her, so my mother urged me to come earlier."

Now, their family is more afraid that something might happen to Su Yuanyuan than Liu Fangzhi.

Liu Fangzhi didn't mind his cold tone at all and led him to Su Yuanyuan's room with the same enthusiasm.

"Okay, okay, it's better for you to come earlier. My mother-in-law cares so much about Yuanyuan, I have to tell her about this. By the way, son-in-law, I also have the good news to tell you. Yuanyuan has woken up this morning."

As she spoke, she led people into Su Yuanyuan's house.

Su Yuanyuan was picking out old clothes in the room. After getting married, she would have to live with her in-laws, so she had to bring all her clothes with her.

Hearing the noise outside, he was about to get up to go out when he met two people coming in.

My sight suddenly met a pair of cold and reserved eyes.

This familiar eye contact automatically reminded Su Yuanyuan of the scene in her mind of the person in front of her turning his back and retching.

His expression suddenly became indescribable.

Looking at the other person, I didn't know whether to put on a smile or a cold face, and my expression was suddenly awkward.

Xu Jianli also felt a little uncomfortable.

Hearing that she woke up, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and then she appeared in front of him, looking at him with those overly frank eyes, full of complexity.

It was hard for him not to feel that the other party was blaming him.

It seemed as if she was asking him why things had taken such a sudden turn for the worse after she fell ill.

Xu Jianli even felt inexplicably guilty.

Although this matter was ultimately caused by Liu Fangzhi, if he had listened to Su Yuanyuan and ran away in time, perhaps there would not have been so many troubles later.

There would be no need to drag two people into this marriage which was not happy at the beginning.

Apart from Su Yuanyuan, Xu Jianli was probably the person who believed most firmly that Su Yuanyuan was not willing to marry him.

Human eyes don't lie.

The way she looked at him, apart from the initial fleeting surprise, there was no trace of emotion after that.

Those were a pair of eyes he had never seen anywhere else, staring straight at you, yet full of openness.

Those were not a pair of eyes showing love or affection.

In Liu Fangzhi's eyes, the awkward gaze between the two people was a pure love story.

She hurriedly stepped back and said, "Well, you two can chat by yourselves. Mom will go to the kitchen to check."

She even slammed the door shut, locking the two of them in the dark and cramped room.

Su Yuanyuan: “…”

In the air, apart from the inexplicable strange smell, there was only endless embarrassment spreading.

Faced with an extremely handsome man, who is even her husband in terms of status, and being alone with her in a room, Su Yuanyuan should have had some distracted and impure reactions.

But at this moment, she couldn't think of any ambiguous or charming thoughts.

Because she knew more clearly than ever what kind of appearance she had and what kind of situation she was in at this moment.

Compared with the people on the opposite side with the clear breeze and bright moon, the difference is almost like dust and bright moon.

She never felt inferior because this was just her temporary situation and a temporary low point.

But her pride did not allow her to have even the slightest delusion at this moment.

Thinking that she was so much older than the other person, Su Yuanyuan spoke first and broke the deadlock.

"You're here. Great, let's chat."
