Jealous Xiulian!

The feast lasted from noon until evening, finally coming to a complete end.

Although Shaoan's wedding banquet today was relatively simple, it was well-arranged.

Every possible detail was taken care of.

Shaoan and Xiulian returned to their new room in the team's livestock shed and spent half the night playing with the village's young people.

After chasing away those energetic, beast-like youngsters, the two finally had a moment to rest.

Both of them lay on their backs on the new room's kang, silently.

The kang was covered with colorful blankets, and new, large red wedding quilts lay beside them.

The kerosene lamp on the table emitted a yellowish glow, with wisps of black smoke drifting upwards.

Sun Shaoan's face was flushed from drinking, and he looked exhausted.

He Xiulian leaned against her Shaoan-ge, her face radiating happiness.

"Shaoan-ge, are you happy today?"

"Happy, how could I not be happy? From now on, you're my wife!" Sun Shaoan said with a smile, holding Xiulian's small hand in his large one.

"Tell me about Runye. I don't even know who she is?" Xiulian's tone shifted, and she turned her head to look at Sun Shaoan.

Shaoan's heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes! I knew it, she wouldn't let this go easily!

"Uh, Runye is Secretary Tian Futang's daughter, who just arrived. She grew up with me, we went to school together..."

"You must have been in love, otherwise, she wouldn't send such an expensive gift!" Xiulian frowned, saying sensitively.

Shaoan hesitated for a moment, then finally said honestly, "You could say we were, or you could say we weren't. Actually, we grew up together, bare-bottomed, and after she went to high school, we had less contact..."

"So, Runye didn't become your wife, are you sad~~" Before Shaoan could finish, Xiulian asked.

Sun Shaoan was speechless at this question.

To say he wasn't sad would be a lie, but now he was married to Xiulian, and all that was in the past.

Seeing Sun Shaoan remain silent, Xiulian turned her back to him, lowered her head, and began picking at the corner of her clothes.

Seeing Xiulian like this, Shaoan quickly moved to her front and said with a chuckle, "You Shanxi women really are jealous!"

Xiulian's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Shaoan's arms, somewhat aggrieved, crying, "You can't be with her again in the future!"

Shaoan hugged Xiulian's full body, smelling the unique feminine scent emanating from Xiulian's hair, and a subtle stir of emotion gradually arose!

He tightened his embrace slightly, and while smiling, he patted Xiulian's back, saying, "What are you talking about? You are my wife now. I'll only be with you, and we'll live a good life. Besides, she's a County Elementary School teacher, a cadre; how could she be with a country bumpkin like me!"

As soon as Xiulian heard that Runye, the one who sent the quilt cover, was an elementary school teacher, she immediately wiped away her tears and smiled a little sheepishly.

If you put it that way, then I won't cry. How could a female cadre possibly compete with her for a farmer husband!

Xiulian immediately beamed, her expression completely changed.

She hugged her husband tightly, smiling happily.

Suddenly, her pretty face flushed, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes, because she distinctly felt something pressing against her lower abdomen.

Thinking of the whispered secrets her sister Xiuying had shared with her in the inner room the night before, her cheeks couldn't help but burn.

Shaoan shifted his body a bit awkwardly, and a blush appeared on Xiulian's face.

She gently pushed Shaoan and said shyly, "Shaoan-ge, it's getting late. Let's wash up and rest early!"

Shaoan scratched his head, also a little embarrassed, and nodded.

He took an enamel basin and fetched some hot water... The two quickly washed up, then took off their clothes and got into bed.

......

The oil lamp was blown out!

In the darkness, their breathing gradually quickened, they intertwined, followed by soft moans...

On this ordinary yet special night, their union heralded the birth of a new family, and also represented a new beginning in life.

......

Zhao Dongchuan had quite a bit to drink, mainly because Secretary Tian Futang, for some unknown reason, kept asking him to drink later on.

On such a joyous day, he couldn't refuse, so he had a few extra drinks with Secretary Tian Futang.

Secretary Tian kept asking about his recent situation while drinking, which made him feel very confused!

Unfortunately, Secretary Tian Futang's alcohol tolerance was not even enough to fill Zhao Dongchuan's teeth—he quickly got himself drunk!

"Well, another one who's bad at drinking but loves to!"

Finally, when the banquet was over, it was Secretary Tian Futang's lackey, Sun Yuting, who helped him home, and Zhao Dongchuan was naturally happy to be relieved.

He slowly returned to his own cave dwelling, and after a simple wash, he started reading again.

That's right, it was still selected works of mao zedong; he hadn't finished it yet, the content was quite rich.

After reading for a while and doing some homework, he went to bed early.

Originally, Shaoping would also come over for tutoring in the evenings when he was free, but recently, he had been busy with his Shaoan-ge's wedding, so he hadn't come these past few days.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Dongchuan woke up to the familiar yet strange sound of the loudspeaker.

He stretched, then got up and washed himself.

Today he didn't feel like cooking, so he directly took out a large bowl of "hot dry noodles" he had previously stored from his space!

He slurped it down, but it wasn't enough, so he took out a few large meat buns from his space and started gnawing on them.

Only after the large meat buns were down did he feel more or less full.

"Another day of being a slacker!!!"

Zhao Dongchuan hummed a tune, preparing to go out for a stroll.

When he stepped out, hands in his pockets, strolling down the road, he saw a familiar figure.

Runye had also returned home after the banquet yesterday, and naturally stayed in Shuangshui Village for the night, not having time to return to the county town.

Early this morning, she also got up early, packed her things amidst her mother's repeated instructions, and was about to rush back to Yuanxi County.

She still had classes in the morning, so she couldn't be late.

Runye walked quickly with her bag, needing to catch the earliest bus to rush back to Yuanxi County town.

As she was walking anxiously, she heard a soft footsteps behind her.

She turned around to see who it was and immediately stopped.

"Sister Runye, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Dongchuan walked over leisurely, a smile on his face.

Seeing his unhurried manner, Tian Runye also slowly relaxed.

"I need to rush back to Yuanxi County for class and want to catch the earliest bus!" Runye said softly.

"Is that so? Then where's your dad? Why didn't he cycle you over?"

"My dad drank too much yesterday; he's still not up yet!"

At this, Tian Runye couldn't help but glare at Zhao Dongchuan; if it weren't for drinking too much with him, she wouldn't have to rush so early in the morning.

Zhao Dongchuan smiled a little awkwardly.

"Then wait a moment, I'll take you on my bicycle!" With that, he quickly walked towards his own courtyard.

Tian Runye watched his retreating figure, a faint smile slowly appearing on her face...
