Chapter 275 You Kid, You Know Yin and Yang
Today, Yi Yunshuo is delivering a car to Fu Huaiyi, so he won't be going to training.
Coincidentally, he ran into Lu Jiangting when he went to catch the shuttle bus.
Lu Jiangting's eyes were red as he stared in the direction Fu Huaiyi had driven away.
It seems he witnessed what just happened.
Yi Yunshuo greeted him with a smile, "Jiang Ting, you spent the night here last night?"
Lu Jiangting ignored him. When the car arrived, he got in without saying a word.
Yi Yunshuo followed closely behind and chose to sit next to Lu Jiangting.
"Is Chenchen sick again?"
Lu Jiangting's expression changed, and he said angrily, "You came here to laugh at me, didn't you?"
Yi Yunshuo said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just asking because I care about Chenchen, how is that making fun of you?"
Lu Jiangting held back and continued to gaze out the window in silence.
As they neared their destination, he finally asked, "Are they getting married soon?"
"Right? Didn't you see that Comrade Lin's parents are here?"
Lu Jiangting gave a bitter laugh and suddenly covered his face with his hands.
Yi Yunshuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing? You should be happy for them."
Lu Jiangting: "..." How the hell am I supposed to be happy?
"Brother Yi is getting married soon, aren't you happy?"
Lu Jiangting was so angry that he held back his tears and glared at Yi Yunshuo.
Yi Yunshuo then asked with a smile, "I guess we'll be able to attend their wedding soon, you'll be there, right?"
Lu Jiangting gritted his teeth: "Yi Yunshuo."
"What? You don't want to go? That's not very kind of you. Didn't we agree back in school that we have to attend everyone's wedding? Last time you got married, Brother Yi gave a gift. Now that someone else is getting married, don't you want to give a gift?"
Lu Jiangting clenched his fists in anger, pushed Yi Yunshuo away forcefully, and walked angrily toward the car door.
We're almost there. He's not sitting; he'll stand.
Did he think he could escape?
Soon, Yi Yunshuo shamelessly caught up again.
"Don't run away! Jiang Ting, we had some unpleasantness in the past, but that's all in the past. Are you planning to hold a grudge against us for the rest of your life?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Really? You're so stingy."
Lu Jiangting could no longer tolerate it.
"Do you want to fight?"
He didn't think he could beat Yi Yunshuo.
Yi Yunshuo chuckled as he grasped his fist and gently lowered it.
"Don't be angry, I really didn't mean to mock you. I just think that now that you're married to Fang Qing and Comrade Xiao Lin has found his own happiness, you're both doing well, and you can even attend each other's weddings, which is a good thing. Right now, you're the only one who's feeling awkward. As long as you let it go, everyone will be happy."
When the car arrived and stopped, Lu Jiangting was the first to rush out.
Yi Yunshuo continued to follow closely behind.
"Hey, don't run so fast, wait for me!"
"I'm not done yet."
“It’s not good for you to stay in the dorm all the time. Your wife will start overthinking things. I ran into her the other weekend, and she was asking me about you. You know, now that you’re married, you shouldn’t be neglecting her. She has to ask me about you, which is really inappropriate…”
Lu Jiangting was so annoyed by him that he had to run to get rid of him.
……
More than an hour later, the car finally drove into Fu Huaiyi's uncle's house.
As he got out of the car, Lin Dawei looked at the beautiful detached house and praised it repeatedly, saying, "This house is even more impressive than the one built by the contractor in the next village, but the bricks are a bit dark in color."
Fu Huaiyi said, "This is a house from the Republican era. Back then, bricks like these were popular."
"From the Republican era? That's many years ago."
"Yes, it must have been several decades ago."
Just then, the people inside came out. Fu Tianlei was at the front, followed by his two sons, two daughters-in-law, and his eldest granddaughter.
The old man smiled and warmly extended his hand, "Nephew, is this your first time in Nancheng? Did you sleep well last night?"
"Good, good. Xiao Fu has prepared clean bedding, and the room is bright and clean everywhere. This environment is better than our countryside."
"Haha, the house is tall and bright, but it's not as good as your country. Your family has mountains and water, grows their own vegetables and raises livestock, eats fresh and healthy food, and can even hunt. City people can't envy that."
“Each has its own merits, each has its own merits!” Lin Dawei replied repeatedly.
Then he turned around and took two marinated wild rabbits and pheasants from Lin Yuyao's hands. "These are wild game from our mountain village. Try them and don't be disgusted."
"I don't mind. You can't buy this in the city even if you have the money."
"And this too." He took a large bag from Fu Huaiyi's hand. "This is kudzu root powder that we dug up ourselves in the mountains. We can mix it with water to drink."
What is kudzu root?
How do you mix it with water to drink?
Some people may not know, but Fu Xingwei does.
He took it and said, "This is a good thing. There's a saying: ginseng in the north, kudzu root in the south."
"Isn't that similar to ginseng?"
Lin Dawei repeatedly said, "No, no, how can it compare to ginseng? This stuff is unwanted in the mountains. Ginseng is a rare commodity where we live; no one has ever seen it before."
“Nephew, we’ve never seen this before either. Look at them, none of them have even heard of it. This is a difference between the North and the South.”
In addition, they also gave us some dried mushrooms that they had sun-dried themselves.
They had quite a lot of things, but Lin Dawei and Ye Lian still felt rather ashamed.
They received a generous gift, but they didn't have any money. After all, they had just married off their eldest son during the Lunar New Year, so these were all the gifts they could offer.
Fortunately, the family did not show any disdain.
Even though the items weren't that good, the old man kept trying to find fault with them, praising worthless things as rare treasures from the mountains.
Fu Tianlei wields absolute authority within the Fu family; his attitude represents the attitude of the entire family.
With his intervention, Lin Dawei and Ye Lian gradually relaxed.
"Father-in-law, we've had someone calculate the date, and they've set their wedding for ten days from now. What do you think?"
Ten days?
Are they going to stay here for another ten days or so?
Lin Dawei looks at the lotus leaves.
Won't it take too long? We only entrust our chickens and ducks to our neighbors.
Ye Lian nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Luo Feng smiled and said, "Okay, then let's settle on that. I'll talk to the hotel later and have them get ready. As for the bride price, we've prepared 5,000 yuan in cash. They've already bought their own wedding house, so we won't buy one. We'll prepare all the furniture and appliances for them. Does that seem appropriate?"
Five thousand?
In their rural village, which family could afford a dowry of 5,000 yuan to get a wife?
The contractor in the next village could afford it, but they definitely wouldn't be willing to spend the money.
"Will this..."
Before Lin Dawei could finish speaking, Ye Lian interrupted him, "It's fine, it's all for the children. It's not easy for those two young people to work hard outside, it's good to have some savings. Sigh! I'm quite ashamed, Yuyao's father and I farm in the countryside, we don't earn much money, and we can't help much, we rely entirely on our in-laws for help."
