Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 65

Zhao Da'e explained to his uncle Zhou Yuren that it wasn't that he didn't want to give Ma Huaihua a dowry, but rather that he wanted to give the Ma family the wrong impression that Zhou Yuren's family was really well-off, thus creating a cognitive error. After that, he quickly and decisively married Ma Huaihua.

Zhao Da'e knew that in her previous life, Ma Huaihua and her older cousin Zhou Tianfu had lived a very good life. Even though it was an arranged marriage, they were both quite capable and hardworking. They made a fortune through hard work and lived a prosperous life.

In this life, Zhao Da'e doesn't want to break them up. Since Zhao Da'e probably can't change the course of events in the end, he'll just let the couple be together and get married as soon as possible.

During the day, Zhao Da'e played with her older cousin Zhou Chunwen, and at night she slept in the west room with her two older cousins.

Zhou Yuren was in the east room, and due to his overwhelming excitement, he barely slept all night.

There was no easy work during the major campaign. The roads in Erbuchi were particularly difficult to travel. In Dongtaizi Village, although the roads were difficult, at least there were roads. The village arranged for people to build roads and lay sand on them. Although they were still bumpy, vehicles could barely pass through on rainy or snowy days.

Zhou Yuren had been to Erbuchi twice. It was a place where the river was right next to the mountains, and if you wanted to build a road, you had to dig through the mountains. Nobody knew why anyone would choose to live in Erbuchi village in the early days. That place was inaccessible by car, like a secluded paradise in the north, completely isolated from the world.

So when I go there to work, I don't need to think about how tiring the work will be.

Around 5:30 in the morning, Zhou Yuren dozed off for a while and then got up, put on clean black cotton clothes, a new pair of cotton shoes, and a hat, making himself look neat and tidy.

Snowflakes were falling outside, and Zhao Da'e and Zhou Chunwen were lying on the windowsill, watching Zhou Yuren wander around in the yard.

“Cousin, your dad is really a bit obsessed. The village said we'd gather at 6:30, so we probably won't leave until after 7. Your dad got up at 5:30. I just counted, he had the urge to smoke thirteen times, reached into his pocket, but there were no cigarettes in his pocket. He walked around more than a hundred times, and he's fed your two cows four times already.”

Zhou Chunwen yawned, her eyes wide: "Never mind my dad, let him be obsessed. Whatever, if my older brother can't get married, my dad will really go crazy. You don't know how hard it is to get married these days. We're poor here, and the bride price is going up everywhere. I heard that in many places the bride price has risen to three thousand yuan. My dad would have to sell three or four cows to cover the bride price, but where would he find three or four cows?" Zhou Chunwen pouted and shook her head.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and the north wind howled. In no time, the black soil was completely covered. Zhou Yuren was still pacing around in the yard. Finally, around 6:30, he hurried out and headed straight for the village office.

"By the way, is your village going to participate in the major campaign?" Zhou Chunwen asked.

Zhao Da'e was stunned for a moment: "I don't know. If anyone goes, it's just my dad. My uncle is a freeloader, my third uncle doesn't work and drinks all day, and my grandfather is the head of the family. He's a bully. My dad is the only one who's missing a screw."

“Your dad is definitely a bit slow on the uptake, otherwise your mom wouldn’t be able to go back to her parents’ home,” Zhou Chunwen chimed in.

"What should we eat later? I'm in a great mood and feeling fantastic. Besides, I'm in charge at home now. Nobody's going to tell the three of us what to do. Let's eat as much as we want, until we're broke, so broke we'll be filthy."
