Chapter 161 Engagement tushumi.cc

The elderly people in the village had all experienced hardship and were already very hardworking. After sensing that life would be difficult in the future, they became even more diligent.

Even after Yunxi returned, she joined everyone in searching for food, going up mountains and down rivers.

Although there was a lot of food stored in the space, including rice, wheat flour, cornmeal, millet (about 2 meters high), various soybeans, mung beans, peanut oil, potatoes, and many other things.

There were also sweet potato seedlings that I had randomly planted on the mountain and in various other places, the sweet potatoes that I dug up after they grew up, and the edible sweet potato vines, all of which filled the space.

The total amount of grain in the space is at least 50,000 jin (25,000 kg). There are just too many sweet potatoes grown. It would definitely be enough for one person.

However, I'm worried about unexpected situations, so I'm planning to make a little more.

It was June, and the barren land in the mountains was prepared to be planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes again. Some sweet potato seedlings were also planted in the more fertile soil in the mountains.

It wasn't just Yunxi who had this plan; every household in the village did the same. Not only their private plots, but even the small spaces in front of and behind their houses were all planted with sweet potatoes.

After being busy for more than half a month, the day of her engagement to Li Xingtang finally arrived, and she took a break and rested at home for two days.

Captain Yun Deguang also felt that they should hold Yunxi and Li Xingtang's engagement banquet first.

One reason was that after finishing the task, everyone worked hard to prepare food. The other reason was that Li Xingtang was going to join the army, and time could not be wasted.

On the day of the engagement, five great-uncle men came with their sons and daughters-in-law to help.

Several of my aunts also came to help early in the morning.

Seeing that Yunxi is even more beautiful than when she was in school, and that you can't find such a pretty girl anywhere in the surrounding area, and that she's about to become someone else's wife, I still feel a little reluctant to let her go.

But we also know that when a girl turns 17, it's time for her to get married, and we can't keep her any longer; keeping her will only lead to enmity.

Fortunately, it wasn't an immediate marriage, just an engagement. That made the uncles and elders feel a little better, as they were always worried that she would be mistreated after marrying into another family.

After all, Li Xingtang will be joining the army in a few days and won't be able to stay home with Yunxi. He also doesn't know if her in-laws will be easy to get along with.

There's always something to worry about.

Even if they had a very good impression of Li Xingtang, he alone could not represent his entire family.

This morning, after Yunxi got up, Grandma Huang and the others told her not to go out and to stay in the house with Yun Shengnan.

At this moment, Yunxi suddenly felt that there were very few girls in the Yun family, and most of them were boys. Each family either had one girl or none at all, or at most one girl.

Looking at Yunxi, who was the same age as her, and seeing how beautiful she was and how well-off her boyfriend's family was, Yun Shengnan was honestly a little envious.

She didn't continue to high school after graduating from junior high. Her family was also arranging blind dates for her, with the youngest son of the village headman from the next village.

As the youngest and most favored son, he was quite well-off. Although he couldn't compare to Yunxi's boyfriend, she was still very satisfied.

Aside from her youngest daughter's little schemes, she sincerely hoped that Yunxi would live a good life in the future, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and grow old together.

Are you sure about the date? Which day?

Yunxi heard that she was also engaged, but didn't know when she would get married. Since there was no one else around, she asked out of curiosity.

When talking about her boyfriend, Yun Shengnan was a little embarrassed. She had been resting at home for two years and had become quite pale. When she was shy, the blush on her face was impossible to hide.

"The 26th of the eighth lunar month, it won't be more than two months away, you must come then."

Although she was shy, she was also poised and confident.

Yunxi nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely come to your wedding. I will definitely still be at home at that time. Li Xingtang has just joined the army, so he will definitely not have time to come back to get married so soon. If we are to get married, it will probably be a year or two later."

It won't be easy for a greenhorn to come back, but I've taken care of his health, and he should be able to become a top soldier. He should have the ability, and I have great faith in his capabilities.

"You're lucky, you can still enjoy a good year or two at home. After you get married, you'll be someone else's daughter-in-law, and you definitely won't be as comfortable as you are at your parents' home."

Yunxi nodded. This is all normal. To other people's families, you are just an outsider.

You don't share the same surname with them unless the couple has a very good relationship, in which case you and your spouse are considered family.

The two of them were whispering some girlish thoughts inside the house when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Yun Shengnan quietly went out to take a look and found that it was Li Xingtang and his parents who had come.

She glanced outside and quickly ran back to tell Yunxi, "Your husband is quite nice. I just saw him pushing a brand new bicycle with a big red flower tied to it. It must be a betrothal gift for you. You can tell he's very sincere. His whole family had smiles on their faces. They must be very satisfied with you."

Yunxi wasn't surprised at all by what Li Xingtang brought. He was just that kind of person, wanting to give her all the good things.

Her eyebrows curved into a smile, which unconsciously revealed a smile, captivating Yun Shengnan who was watching from the side.

"Sis! You should laugh less in the future. I'm a woman and I'm so engrossed in watching it, let alone the men. It's such a pity that I wasn't born a man, otherwise I wouldn't have a husband."

Yun Shengnan spoke in a particularly exaggerated manner, and it was obvious that she was deliberately trying to make Yun Xi happy and ease her tense atmosphere.

Yunxi wasn't nervous at all; she had an incredibly positive attitude.

"You're just talking nonsense. Be careful Grandma Cheng hears you and scolds you."

Yunxi suddenly felt fortunate that he wasn't a boy, otherwise he might have had the potential to become a hooligan.

Li Xingtang didn't wait outside for long and quickly went inside.

Seeing Yunxi with light makeup on her face, he stared wide-eyed.

"Yunxi, you are so beautiful."

Even though Yunxi was a thousand-year-old monster, she couldn't help but feel shy at this moment.

"You look very handsome today too."

Perhaps it was because he was in a particularly good mood, which made him radiant. He was already quite good-looking, but he became even more handsome.

"Why don't we all go outside? Our in-laws are out there; we should at least go and see them."

Yun Shengnan felt like she was already stuffed even though it wasn't time to eat yet, so she quickly interrupted the two of them who were gazing at each other affectionately.
