Chapter 249 The Sickly Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 9

"Oh my! There's a TV too!"

An uncle who was watching spoke loudly in surprise, and several aunts around also started talking about the betrothal gifts that Xu Xingzhou had bought.

People in the city care about "three wheels and one sound" when getting married, that is, a radio, a sewing machine and the like. In the village, the requirements for dowry are even lower, and it is good enough for the family to have a tricycle.

As a result, Xu Xingzhou wanted to marry the little girl from the Yun family, and he prepared all the dowry including a radio, a sewing machine, a watch, and even the expensive TV.

Few people could afford a TV, and the villagers would only gather together in the evening to watch screen movies organized by the brigade, and occasionally buy a newspaper to read.

Xu Xingzhou rolled up the shopping bag, covered it tightly, and stuffed it into Yun Wu's hand.

There were many neighbors joining in the fun, so Yun Wu felt embarrassed to say anything more to Xu Xingzhou.

"Then, I'll go in first..."

She spoke in a soft and weak voice, holding the tightly wrapped shopping bag in her arms.

Xu Xingzhou watched Yun Wu and Tong Hui enter the house together. When she walked in, she looked back and found that his eyes were still staring at her, so she quickly turned her head away embarrassedly.

Xu Xingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with staring at the girl all the time, because he was about to marry her. Although he had only met her a few times, he just couldn't get enough of looking at her.

It would be nice if he lived next to the Yun family. Their homes are quite far apart.

Xu Xingzhou still had to go to the fields to do farm work. He said a few words to his neighbors and then got in the car and drove towards his home.

Fortunately, the road in the village had been repaired by the brigade before, so it was flat and spacious, and Xu Xingzhou's car could also enter and exit.

Xu Xingzhou parked the car in his own yard. The yard was large and the car took up less than half of the space.

He had just parked the car and was about to go back to the room to get a shovel to go to the field, but then his landline phone rang. It was Zhou Yi calling.

"Hey, Brother Xu, I finally rode to the military area..."

Zhou Yi drove there and rode his bicycle back. Fortunately, no one noticed his miserable appearance.

"Thanks."

Xu Xingzhou said simply, then quickly took off his black sweater, changed into a thin white coat and prepared to go to work in the fields.

He thought about it, then picked up the landline phone and said to Zhou Yi:

"You don't have to hide the fact that I'm getting married. This is not a sneaky thing. I really want to marry her. I'm not kidding."

"What if the old man finds out and blocks you on your wedding day?"

"He can't come."

Xu Xingzhou frowned and said indifferently that he had made it very clear before he came out. Unless he went back by himself, he would have no chance of being found.

"Brother Xu, you are amazing. You left the military compound to live in and ran to such a faraway village. Many female comrades next door are heartbroken."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. I never had any contact with them when I was here. Next time you see my wife, don't say these nonsense, so that she won't misunderstand."

Xu Xingzhou said with a stern face that he attached great importance to a man's innocence and could not let Yun Wu misunderstand him.

"You haven't even gotten married yet and you've already called a wife. Do you know that little girls are young?"

"roll."

Xu Xingzhou said bluntly, and then hung up the phone neatly.

Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife, he just calls her whenever he wants!

Xu Xingzhou originally wanted to go to the fields to continue doing farm work, but when he hung up the phone, he looked towards his room.

Although it's not messy, it hasn't been cleaned properly...

He remembered that Yun Wu dressed neatly every day, which showed that she was a person who liked cleanliness.

Xu Xingzhou touched his neat crew cut with some difficulty.

"so troublesome……"

He said this, but put the shovel back in the next second.

Then I began to diligently clean the kitchen, toilet and other places inside and out.

Yun Wu didn't know all this. As soon as she got back, she hid the shopping bag in her closet.

I was really embarrassed to let Yun Qingshan and Tong Hui see what was inside.

When Tong Hui was cooking, Yun Wu went over to help. There was firewood burning under the stove, and the smoke was a bit choking.

"Cough cough..."

Yun Wu was coughing while helping Tong Hui burn firewood. She was in poor health and would cough whenever she smelled thick smoke since she was a child.

"Your brother will come to help me later. Xiaowu, go back and have a rest. The new smoke window is not open yet and the smoke is too strong."

"It's okay, sister-in-law. Ahem... I'll learn how to cook from you, so I can do something after I get married."

Yun Wu coughed a few times and some crystal tears appeared in her bright eyes. She used to help with housework at her aunt's house and was quite skilled at making fire.

But her health was worse before. She was afraid of both cold and heat. Sometimes she would feel dizzy when she ran fast. Now she is much better. The smell of kitchen smoke is just a little choking. She just needs to bear with it.

This is the case for every household in the village these days. Although not all housework falls on one person, everyone in the family has to contribute.

Tong Xiaoyun was in a bad mood. She had just returned from the city after buying things and her mood had not improved. Now she was waiting for Jiang Cheng in a secluded grove next to the educated youth compound.

She was in a bad mood because she heard from Tong Fuguo that Tong Hui had started a snack business in the city and it seemed to be going quite well.

The second reason was that I heard about the betrothal gift Xu Xingzhou gave to Yun Wu, which was considered a large sum even in the city.

One is the real daughter of the village chief, whom she is most afraid will take away her current affluent life, and the other is the person who looks like what she hates the most.

Seeing that the two of them were living well, Tong Xiaoyun felt very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Yun, you are finally here!"

Jiang Cheng, who had just finished working in the fields with the other people from the team, came over. He looked a lot darker.

"Today, when I was doing farm work, I saw a very pretty little girl. I heard her name was Yun something Wu..."

"Yun Wu..."

Tong Xiaoyun said with a frown, and she quickly looked around, fearing that someone would follow Jiang Cheng when he came to find her.

"She is my brother-in-law's sister, the one I originally said I would introduce to you."

"That's great, Xiaoyun, please help me build a bridge!"

"She has already accepted the betrothal gift from another man. Why are you still trying to build a bridge when you are about to get married?"

Tong Xiaoyun glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, her words also had a strong hint of sourness.

Although her ambition is to marry the son of a high-ranking official in the city, the man Yun Wu is going to marry, Xu Xingzhou, is good-looking and hardworking. She likes him quite a bit, but it's a pity that his status is not good enough.

"Well, well, well, how can that be possible! Didn't you agree to introduce me to a date?"

Jiang Cheng became a little anxious when he heard this. How could the person he liked accept a betrothal gift from someone else?

"Everywhere is open-minded now. Even if you receive the betrothal gift, you can still cancel the engagement. It's a free marriage. Xiaoyun, please help me talk to them. When the time comes, I will introduce you to someone when I return to the city!"

Tong Xiaoyun was a little shaken. She looked up at Jiang Cheng. He had a bad reputation in the city before he went to the countryside. It was said that he would beat women when he was in a bad mood.

Tong Xiaoyun would never marry him. She originally wanted to match him with Tong Hui, but failed.

Marrying and living with such a person would only bring suffering, so she wanted to ruin Yun Wu and Xu Xingzhou's relationship and introduce her to Jiang Cheng.

Tong Xiaoyun was mainly thinking about Xu Xingzhou because he had a military jeep. Tong Fuguo, as the village chief, had to tighten his belt and buy an old and dilapidated car to drive because he had to make money secretly every day.

But Xu Xingzhou’s car was different. Although she heard people say that it was a reward given to Xu Xingzhou by the military district, it was not bought by him himself.

She also thought that if Xu Xingzhou could achieve something in the future, she could consider dating him...
