"Wait, why is your way of guessing the coin different from others?"
Wang Zibo had never seen such a trick before. "We used to guess heads and tails, but we never guessed which year it was produced."
"That's because you haven't seen it before. You can only say that you're inexperienced. You have to admit defeat."
Chen Hansheng put the coin in little Ah Ning's pocket. "Zibo bought candy for you. Thank him."
"Thank you, Zibo."
Little Ah Ning was very obedient and said in a clear voice.
"Why are you thanking me? It's not my money."
Wang Zibo knew that he couldn't beat Chen Hansheng, so he muttered sullenly.
Her mother-in-law was old, and she didn't have much to talk about with young people. She narrowed her eyes and looked at them for a while, then went back to rest with her cane.
Hearing that Chen Hansheng was willing to stay, Eldest Uncle was very happy. He rubbed his dry palms, said a few words in the local dialect, and went back.
"What did he say?"
This was Wang Zibo's question. In fact, Chen Hansheng wasn't interested in it. He grabbed the little dog and started to beat it again.
"Yes, yes, he said …"
While explaining, Ah Ning kept looking at Brother Hansheng, for fear that he would accidentally beat the dog to death.
"Eldest Uncle said that his daughter is getting married tomorrow, and it will be Ah Ning's turn soon. He wants to prepare some good wine."
Hearing this, Wang Zibo immediately realized that he had asked an awkward question. Chen Hansheng didn't even want to find a girlfriend, so how could he think about getting married now?
"How old is Eldest Uncle's daughter? Maybe she's at the age of marriage. Your sister is still studying."
Wang Zibo quickly found a reasonable explanation.
"That's not right."
Little Ah Ning didn't understand the complicated thoughts between adults. She tilted her head and said, "Ah Ning is younger than Ah Ning. She's only 18."
"What? She got married at 18?"
Wang Zibo was stunned. Ah Ning had just become an adult.
"There's nothing strange about it."
Chen Hansheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected, "Some of our female classmates in junior high school didn't make it to high school. They worked outside for two years before returning home to go on blind dates and get married. Now that they're 20 years old, they might even have children."
Wang Zibo nodded. "That's true. I met one when I went home during the summer break. I almost couldn't believe it. Do you still remember Deng Cuicui from junior high?"
Chen Hansheng shook his head. "I have no impression of him at all."
Then, the two of them started to talk about their former classmates. They mainly focused on Wang Zibo's memories. Their high school classmates were still okay, but their middle school classmates required constant reminders before Chen Hansheng could remember a little.
Of course, such a boring topic like "marriage" was led astray by Chen Hansheng.
The more Wang Zibo talked, the more excited he became. Every time he thought about the past in junior high and high school, he would slap his thigh in excitement.
Ah Ning didn't understand these things. She lay in Shen Youchu's arms drowsily.
As for Shen Youchu, she was stroking A 'Ning's hair with one hand and adding firewood to the stove with the other to maintain the temperature in the small kitchen. The swaying red light reflected between her eyebrows and eyes, making her look gentle and graceful like water.
In the evening, Shen Youchu helped to make the bed. Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo slept under the quilt. Wang Zibo kept talking.
Chen Hansheng occasionally chimed in, but in his heart, he thought, "After all, we're best friends who grew up together. He accompanied me to Chuanyu for two years in a row. Even if he knew that he would be scolded by Auntie Lu if he went home late, he still acquiesced in the end."
"Xiao Chen."
Wang Zibo saw that Chen Hansheng hadn't said anything for a long time, so he asked, "Are you asleep?"
"Just say it."
Chen Hansheng said.
"What are you going to do with Little Yu 'er and Shen Youchu? Do you want to marry both of them?"
Wang Zibo suddenly asked. He still hadn't forgotten the topic in the small kitchen.
"What?"
Chen Hansheng didn't seem to hear it clearly.
"What are you going to do with Little Yu 'er and Shen Youchu? Do you want to marry both of them?"
Wang Zibo repeated again.
"No, what did you say in the previous sentence?"
"Are you asleep?"
"Yes, I'm asleep. Don't bother me."
… ….
The next morning, Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo were woken up early to attend the wedding in their uncle's family.
However, the focus of the two was fundamentally different. Wang Zibo felt that the villagers here were really simple and honest. The way they looked at him was both curious and kind. When Wang Zibo nodded his head to greet them, no matter if it was adults or children, they were even shyer than he was. All of them turned their heads away shyly.
Their uncle's family was especially polite. Every once in a while, someone would run over and ask in non-standard Mandarin, "College student, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"
Wang Zibo used to be invisible no matter if it was at home or in school. He was not used to being valued all of a sudden. He hurriedly refused the kindness of others and secretly asked Shen Youchu who was beside him, "Where's Xiao Chen?"
"He went to see the bride."
Shen Youchu said in a low voice.
"She's really going there."
Wang Zibo was stunned. Chen Hansheng really didn't treat him as an outsider at all.
Not long after, Chen Hansheng ran back. The moment he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol, "Oh my god, the fruit wine here is a little too strong. I only drank two bowls and my head is already a little dizzy."
Shen Youchu poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Why did you drink?"
Chen Hansheng finished drinking the hot tea, wiped his mouth and said, "It's the custom here. The bride placed eight bowls of wine in front of the door. The groom is younger than us, and he was a little tired after drinking three bowls. I like to fight for justice the most, so I helped him drink two bowls."
Wang Zibo looked at the lively scene and his heart itched, "Xiao Chen, is the bride beautiful?"
Chen Hansheng glanced at him, "I asked you to go see the bride just now, but you didn't go with me. Now you want to know the answer. Just wait, the newlyweds will come over to toast."
"I didn't put on any airs either."
Wang Zibo muttered, "They all think that we are university students and we are guests here. It's not good for our image to go see the bride rashly."
Chen Hansheng grinned, "You are lucky that you are from Jianye Science and Technology. If you were from MIT, there would be no place for you on Earth."
Soon, there was a commotion outside. The granduncle's daughter and son-in-law came over to toast. Wang Zibo quickly stood on tiptoe to watch.
Although the bride was only wearing an ordinary red dress, because of her natural beauty and the fact that she drank some wine, every frown and smile of hers was charming and charming. The whole living room was lit up.
However, the groom was really young. He might not even understand the meaning of marriage to himself. He stood around foolishly to toast.
When he saw Chen Hansheng, his blank face bloomed into a happy smile, "Big brother, thank you for drinking for me just now."
"You are welcome. Congratulations on your marriage."
Chen Hansheng laughed heartily and drank another bowl in a forthright manner.
Wang Zibo felt jealous. He was not envious of his best friend's ability to get along with others wherever he went. Chen Hansheng was like this when he was young.
Wang Zibo was envious of his younger brother's groom.
The bride's beauty was enough to make her the campus belle of Jianye Science and Technology. There was no discount at all. Even in a school like Eastern University, other than Xiao Rongyu, there was probably no one who could surpass the bride.
Such a girl had to marry such a sloppy groom because she was imprisoned in the mountains and could not go out.
To be honest, Wang Zibo was somewhat proud in a place where the average education level was elementary school. Otherwise, he would not have put on airs.
However, after seeing the newlyweds now.
How should he put it? He inexplicably thought of Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang, and Pan Jinlian.
