.During this period, Wu Lianyi absorbed the level-3 crystal core, raising her own ability level to level 3. The Sun siblings' abilities also improved, needing only a level-3 crystal core to directly u...After a lively and noisy meal, the educated youth from Zhiqingdian helped Lian Yi carry her luggage one by one, chatting and laughing as they went to Zhao Jingcheng's prepared courtyard, euphemistically calling it a "wedding send-off."

When someone on the road met a villager, they would stuff them with a piece of candy. Children were even more glued to the side of the team, eating candy in their mouths and shouting loudly:

"Jing Cheng is getting married! He's going to have a baby!"

Along the way, there was quite a stir, and basically everyone in the village knew about it. Some came to watch the excitement, while others stayed out of it. For a time, Lian Ri and Zhao Jingcheng became the center of attention among the villagers.

Everyone sent the ripples, drank a cup of hot tea, Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin quickly helped pack up her things, then giggled and said goodbye, not delaying the two's intimacy.

Zhao Jingcheng was teased until his face was bright red. After seeing off the educated youths, he finally closed the door and returned to the house.

The ripples made it so much easier; she simply beckoned him inside. Then, from her bosom, she pulled out a handkerchief and, upon opening it, revealed some loose change and various scrolls. She then reached into her bosom again and produced a golden bracelet, pushing both towards Zhao Jingcheng.

"Here are my expenses before I leave. You keep them for now, and ask me for more if you need it."

Zhao Jingcheng: "Enough" feels weird!

"Take advantage of these two days without snow, go to the town and buy some food. If there's beef or mutton, buy some too. You can store it in the cold weather. It's too cold here for me to get used to. Now that we have the means, I eat three meals a day."

"Good."

Zhao Jingcheng looked like a little daughter-in-law, nodding in agreement.

Besides, you are too thin. Take advantage of this winter to nourish your body and don't be reluctant to eat meat.

"Great!"

"Please boil some hot water for me, I want to wash my face and soak my feet."

"Good!"

The ripples spoke one sentence, and the other party replied with one sentence, very obediently.

When it was time to go to bed, Zhao Jingcheng, holding his worn quilt, prepared to go to another house.

"Where are you going"

Liàn Yī sat cross-legged on the kang, frowning and asking.

"I'm going to sleep next door!"

Does that house have a kang (heated brick bed)

"No"

"So you want to freeze yourself to death, making me a widow on our wedding day"

"No, no."

"This big kang still can't fit you. One person sleeps on each side."

Ripples patted the kang table on the bed, serving as a dividing line between the two.

Oh! Good.

Zhao Jingcheng weakly responded with a "yes."

The next day, Lian Yi slept in and then ate the breakfast Zhao Jingcheng had made. It was rice porridge, pickled vegetable shreds, and corn cakes - very delicious. After eating her fill, Lian Yi took out her high school physics textbook and started reading.

Zhao Jingcheng looked several times, but was too embarrassed to ask. At this time, the courtyard gate was knocked, so he went to open it.

After a while, Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin entered the room.

"Why are you here so early"

"The village was going to take two black bears into town. Qian Jian Guo said that he was going to the hospital to visit Chen Jia Shu anyway, and he could see if they could bring him back. Living there all the time wasn't a good solution."

The village is also in a hurry to deal with the aftermath and doesn't want to drag it until after the New Year, as they feel it's inauspicious. We're just here asking if you'd like to go for a stroll in town together

Wang Xiufen said with a smile.

"It's so cold outside, I don't want to move. It's perfect weather to stay home and read for review. But Jing Cheng wants to go to town to buy some food. He's about to leave. Would you like to come with us"

Ringlets smiled and said.

"That's great, it saves me a trip. Thanks, Zhao ge."

After hearing this, Zheng Xin's eyes rolled. She took out a piece of paper from her cotton gloves and handed it to Zhao Jingcheng.

"Big Brother Zhao, I was going to the post office in town to pick up a package. Since you're going there too, could you please bring me some things It's not heavy, just a few books."

"Okay, no problem."

Zhao Jingcheng took the job order, tucked it into his pocket, changed into a thick cotton coat for going out, grabbed a basket, said hello to Lian Yi, and went to meet everyone at the village entrance.

"Ripple, you're amazing! Zhao Jingcheng listens to you and follows your lead. We all take advantage of that."

Zheng Xin smiled mischievously.

"Let's live together, partners! You guys go check out the commotion."

There's nothing interesting to look at, it's all men's business. Let's focus on reviewing! I'm not familiar with a few math formulas, can you explain them to me

“Alright!”

The three of them gathered together again and began to discuss the problems they had encountered during this period.

When the sun set in the west, people from the village returned. Chen Jia Shu was placed on a ox cart and pulled back to the educated youth point. Zhao Fendou's corpse was also pulled back by a car hired by his wife. They cried all the way from the village entrance to their homes.

Zhao Fengshou was also very worried, but he still arranged for people to comfort the injured villagers, and then began to prepare for the funerals of the three.

"I wonder if Captain Zhao's family has offended the God of Age this year, losing two people all at once."

The injured villagers who returned together are telling their families about Zhao's struggle.

“Who said otherwise! It's a pity for his daughter-in-law, Xiu Mei.”

She's quite something, bringing her young son to the clinic for days, claiming they killed her husband. The clinic couldn't handle it anymore and called the police, only then did she calm down a bit.

Although she stopped making a fuss, she still insisted that the death of Captain Zhao was the responsibility of the health center and demanded an explanation. In the end, the Public Security Bureau mediated, allowing the health center to be exempt from Captain Zhao's hospitalization medical expenses and compensated her with two hundred yuan. Only then was the matter settled.

The injured villagers have been at the hospital, but they watched the whole thing.

"Her husband was gone, and her eldest son, who was about to get married, was also gone. Now she was a widow with no children left, so naturally she had to make plans for herself."

It's true, nothing feels more secure than having money and food on hand.

There were quite a few people in the village discussing this, all making plans to go to Zhao Fendou's house tomorrow to help with the funeral arrangements.

On the other side, back at the educated youth point, Chen JiaShu was deeply depressed, making the air feel heavy for the other male educated youths.

After Qian Jian Guo settled Chen Jia Shu, he opened his mouth and asked:

“You should rest well first. I’ll go find Zhao Fengshou in a while. He’s temporarily taking over as captain. I’ll come back and get your compensation for the injuries.”

"Well, thank you, Brother Qian. When I can walk with a cane, I'll treat you all to a meal."

Chen Jiashu said in a low voice.

"It's alright, take care of yourself. I happen to be looking for the village carpenter to make you a pair of crutches."

"Can you lend me some money, Qian Ge"

This time, Chan Ka-shui didn't refuse. Without his walking stick, he couldn't walk, he couldn't do anything.

One night passed without a word. The next day, Chen Jiashu met Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin. The two brought some things to visit him, but Wu Lianyi was nowhere to be seen.

Thank you for coming to see me. Where is Wu Zhiqing

He asked directly.

"Oh, she's making lunch at home and can't come over. Let's just bring the get-well gifts together then. This pound of pork is what she asked us to bring."

Wang Xiufen said as she put a piece of frozen pork on the kang table.

"At home What does that mean"

Chen Jian-shu keenly grasped the keywords.

Wu Lianyi got married. She married Zhao Jingcheng, the young man from the village who saved her.

"What!"pon learning of her son's decision, didn't say anything. It was better to endure the pain now than to suffer a long time. She accompanied him to see the doctor twice, already spending a few hundred y...
