Chapter 352 Zheng Qin Gets Married

Wang Lihua came and went in a hurry. After work, the other educated youth at the educated youth site learned from Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun that Wang Lihua had returned, but they didn't say anything.

Yes, why bother asking about someone you are destined not to meet again.

By late April, Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang's new house had been settled in, and even the furniture and daily necessities had been purchased.

The two chose a day at the end of April to hold their wedding.

The wedding at that time was very simple, consisting of a vow and a meal in the presence of a witness.

Both of them were outsiders here, so the team leader and Secretary Xu were invited to be witnesses.

The guests attending the wedding were the educated youth from the Red Star Production Team.

As for other people in the village, the two of them had little contact with the villagers and did not invite them.

As for the wedding banquet, Feng Chunyan was the best cook among the educated youths. They provided the ingredients and paid 1 yuan to ask Feng Chunyan to cook a meal for them.

I spent another 5 cents to hire Liu Zhaodi to help in the kitchen.

Liu Jingxue was also an educated youth in the Red Star Production Team. Although she did not interact with them much on weekdays, she still had to attend their weddings.

After asking Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun what gifts they had sent, Liu Jingxue selected two towels from the space as gifts of a lower standard than theirs.

Qin Fang got married from a youth cadre station and her new home was decorated with new decorations.

Naturally, these guests attending the wedding also went to the new home with the bride to attend the wedding.

Liu Jingxue did not go to the educated youth site, but went directly to the new house.

Although her spiritual sense had scanned their new home many times, this was the first time she set foot there.

Houses these days are all built from the same mold. Apart from the different orientations, there is no other difference between their new home and the house where Liu Jingxue lives.

Because there were no outsiders, the team leader and Secretary Xu had not come yet because it was not time for the oath.

The male educated youth were all outside helping. As for the female educated youth, except for Feng Chunyan and Liu Zhaodi who were busy in the kitchen, the others were all in the room talking to the bride.

After all, she is a bride, so Qin Fang dressed up specially today.

She was wearing a brand new set of clothes, her hair was tied in a bun, her eyebrows were drawn, and even her lips looked like they were painted with lipstick.

Liu Jingxue was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Sister Qin Fang, did you use eyebrow pencil or lipstick on your eyebrows and lips?"

These two items are now only sold in foreign exchange stores, not in the supply and marketing cooperatives in town.

Liu Jingxue was curious about where they got these two things, so she asked this question.

Qin Fang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "We don't have these two things.

These are all ideas that Yingchun came up with.

Eyebrow pencils are drawn by burning tree branches into charcoal.

The red color on her lips was applied with a small jar of paste provided by Yingchun. It wasn’t lipstick. I don’t know where she got it from.”

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue looked at Zhang Yingchun curiously.

"Oh, this is when I was at home and went to the cinema with my cousin. I saw the actors in the movie and their eyebrows and lips were so beautiful that I was very envious.

Later, I learned from my classmates that foreign exchange products include eyebrow pencils and lipsticks.

You know, ordinary people like us have no way to get foreign exchange bills, so we can only give up.

But I was really itching to do it, and was wondering if there was something that could replace it.

Eyebrow pencil is easy to deal with, many people know how to draw eyebrows with charcoal.

It was the lipstick. We looked through a lot of books and learned that lip balm had existed in ancient times. So we looked everywhere for a way to make it, and finally we found it.

We spent quite a bit of time and managed to finish it secretly, and then we each got some.

I don’t dare to use it normally, so I can only hide it secretly, that is the small jar I gave to Sister Qin Fang.”

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It is said that the power of foodies is great, and the power of love of beauty is no less.

Following the recipe in the book, they actually managed to make lip balm successfully.

She couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to Zhang Yingchun, "You sisters are really amazing. You can even make lip balm."

Zhang Yingchun felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "Oh, it's not as great as you say.

That thing is not difficult, just a little troublesome.

If you have a recipe, you can make it according to it."

“Even if there is a recipe, it may not be possible to make it according to the recipe.

Just like you, you have a cookbook, but when you cook according to the recipe, the dishes may not taste very good.

This shows that you don’t have much talent in cooking, but you have talent in making lip balm.” Yu Li joked.

Xia Lan said from the side, "Sister Yu Li, there's no need to be so tactful.

You can just say that she loves to show off and that she is naturally good at this."

Zhang Yingchun couldn't take it anymore and retorted to Xia Lan, "You are the one who loves to show off."

Xia Lan nodded and admitted, "I am quite vain, but unfortunately I am still not as good as you.

At least I haven’t reached the stage where I have to create conditions to show off even if there are none.”

When Zhang Yingchun heard this, he immediately rushed over and the two started fighting.

The relationship between these two has always been good, but they love to play around like this, so everyone is used to it and just lets them be.

Watching the two people fighting, Qin Fang and Yu Li started talking.

"That's good now. Wang Lihua is no longer here to make trouble, and you two are married. You can live your lives in peace from now on." Yu Li said with emotion.

"You are still a few months older than me. There is no hope for you to return to the city right now. Isn't it time for you to consider your own personal problems?"

Yu Li smiled bitterly, “I would like to, but there is no suitable one.

Forget about Fang Dong and Tang Qiangjun.

Chen Guoqing and Zhang Pingan are younger than me.

As for Zhou Wenbing, it's a stretch, but you know my family's conditions. If I stay with him, it would be better for me to be single. At least I won't be dragged down by others.

As for the villagers, to be honest, I don’t want to be stuck in the countryside for the rest of my life. If I have the chance, I will go back to the city.

So I can’t put myself in a dilemma in the future just for the sake of temporary ease.”

"Don't worry, there may be suitable educated youth coming here later," Qin Fang comforted.

"Come on, the people coming over later must be younger than us, so it's definitely not suitable."

"Then you might as well go to town more often. There are a lot of young men in town, maybe there is someone suitable.

We stay in the village every day, and our elders at home are not here. No one can help us with such an important life-long event, so we can only rely on ourselves.

You should also be more careful and take the initiative to look for it."

“Let’s take another look.

Today is your day, let's not talk about these troubles. "

As the auspicious time was approaching, the team leader and Secretary Xu also came over.

Under the auspices of the two men, Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang wore big red flowers on their chests and swore an oath to the statue of the great man, and the two were officially married.

Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang's wedding banquet was very sumptuous, with meat, fish, eggs, and plenty of oil, which was considered the best in that era.

Feng Chunyan’s cooking skills are indeed good. In Liu Jingxue’s opinion, her cooking skills are much better than her own.

After the meal, everyone helped to clean up the mess, put everything in place, and organized the things to be taken back to the educated youth site.

Their small family did not have so many tableware. Most of them were brought from the educated youth site, and everyone would take them back later.

Everyone chatted with the two for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

The others returned to the educated youth point, and Liu Jingxue naturally returned to her home.
