Chapter 21 Old ladies' daily chat
Chapter 21 Old ladies' daily chat
The two of them hugged each other like this for an unknown amount of time. After Ruan Ruan felt Huo Haocheng calm down, she looked at the things on the bed and asked:
"Did you prepare all this?"
"Well, I brought this four-piece set back from Yuncheng. I saw it after a mission and thought you would like it, so I bought it.
And this dress is the costume of the ethnic minorities in Yuncheng. When I saw it, I thought you would look great in it, so I bought you a set. Do you want to try it on?"
This is a set of clothes for women of the Dong ethnic group. It has a bright red background, and black, white, blue and yellow diamond embroidery patterns are added to the cuffs, waist and hem. Ruan Ruan took the clothes and tried them on herself. It was really beautiful, but Ruan Ruan did not try it on.
Now is not the right time. This dress can be worn in some places, but it is not suitable to be worn in other places. So Ruan Ruan decided to wear it after taking it back to Yuncheng.
"I won't try it on now. I'll show you how to put it on after we return to Cloud City."
Ruan Ruan folded the clothes, put them in a bag, and put them in the back of the closet.
"Is this dress suitable for my wedding?"
Seeing that Ruan Ruan didn't want to wear that dress, he picked up another red dress with buttoned cuffs and a ruffled collar. The left side of the skirt from the shoulder to the hem also had a buttoned design to shrink the waist. With a pair of small leather shoes, she really looked like a young lady going out.
"it is good"
It was already past three in the afternoon when the two of them finished packing and came out. The rest of the Huo family had gone to work in the fields.
"Sister, can we go out for a walk?"
After coming back for so many days, Huo Haocheng was either helping his parents with work or going to the city to buy clothes for Ruan Ruan. He never met up with his childhood friends. One reason was that he didn't want to go alone, fearing that they would ask him questions, and the other was that Ruan Ruan would think up all sorts of things, which would have a bad influence on him. Now that Ruan Ruan was back, he could take her around the village, and he could also break the rumor in the village that Ruan Ruan was now a daughter of a wealthy family and would not want him.
"Okay, I'm back now, I'll go see my sisters too."
Ruan Ruan left in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to them. Now that she's back, she can ask them to come to her house to get the gifts she brought for them.
Coming out of Huo's house, walk about 500 meters to the right, there is a big locust tree that requires several men to hug it. The old ladies in the village like to sit under the tree and chat.
"Hey, I heard that Miss Ruan from the Huo family is back. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. She came back before noon, along with her biological parents. They drove back! You didn't see how grand it was."
"Her biological parents have come to find her, why do you think she would come back? Isn't it good for her to enjoy life in the city?"
"Who knows? I heard that she came back to marry the boy from the Huo family. Just now, the two daughters-in-law of the Huo family came to my house and asked if we wanted to change the old hen."
“Why are they changing chickens at this time?”
"I heard that they are going to have a wedding in a few days, and they asked us to help then."
"It seems that Miss Ruan is really going to marry the boy from the Huo family"
"Hey, she has returned to her biological parents, why does she still want to marry that boy from the Huo family? Wouldn't it be better to ask her parents to find her a city guy? She really doesn't know how to enjoy life."
"I think the Huo family boy is not bad. I heard that he was promoted to battalion commander when he came back this time. After they get married, Ruan will follow the army, which is not bad either."
"Hey, stop talking, that's them."
In the distance, Huo Haocheng was walking towards them holding Ruan Ruan's hand. In this era, no matter what the relationship between men and women was, holding hands like this in public was not allowed. Walking side by side intimately was not allowed. But now in their village, although there were occasional frictions between the people in the Red Flag Brigade, when facing problems that were detrimental to the interests of the brigade, they were united and quite united. The people of the brigade had always supported the decisions made by the brigade leader. Of course, this was also the result of Huo Songbai always considering the brigade, seeking welfare for everyone, and being fair over the years.
"Hello, grandmas, are you enjoying the cool breeze?"
After the two approached, Ruan Ruan was the first to greet them, which was the respect that a junior should have.
"Yes, Miss Ruan is back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Why don't you spend a few more days here? It's hard to go to the city once."
For the elderly in the village, it is probably difficult to go to a big city once in a lifetime.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to go in the future. My brother is back, so of course I have to come back soon."
"I'm glad you're back. I heard you're getting married. Is this true?"
"Yes, it is May 20th."
When she heard someone asking about their marriage, Ruan Ruan directly said the date. She knew that when she was not around, the villagers must have had many bad guesses about Huo Haocheng. They asked this question now to see her attitude towards marrying Huo Haocheng. Many people would think that since she was a city dweller, how could she still be interested in a peasant?
Huo Haocheng felt happy about Ruan Ruan telling these grandmothers about the wedding date, but he was also worried. He was afraid that she was reluctantly agreeing to marry him because of the engagement they had when they were children. He heard a lot of such things after he came back. Many educated youth ended up marrying men in the team for various reasons, but even after getting married they still looked down on the country people.
"The wedding date has been set so soon?"
They didn't quite believe that they had set the wedding date so quickly. They had heard about how the Ruan family looked when they entered the village at noon. They set the wedding date right after they arrived. I wonder how much dowry the Huo family gave?
"Yes, this was confirmed by my grandfather before I came back."
Ruan Ruan directly brought up the elders in her family and told those who were speculating that the marriage between the two families had been agreed and blessed by everyone.
"Then we can wait to eat the wedding candy."
“I will definitely give the grandmas the sweetest wedding candies when the time comes.”
After a brief chat, Ruan Ruan and the other person left. They still had to go visit their friends.
"Brother, tell me, when we go back, will everyone in the village know that we are getting married?"
Thinking of this, Ruan Ruan turned around happily and asked Huo Haocheng happily:
"Walk carefully, don't fall down."
Seeing Ruan Ruan suddenly turn around to face him and walk backwards, he immediately reached out and grabbed Ruan Ruan's arm that was reaching out to him.
“This is natural”
Huo Haocheng was also infected by Ruan Ruan, and his face was relieved.
