Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 64 A Meal
Ji Yuanshan told Ji Yuanhai about his family's help in finding a wife.

Since Ji Yuanshan went home yesterday and talked about Ma Xiuping in Ma Ji, grandparents, parents, and mothers have all become interested. Grandma is going to find a daughter-in-law married by Ma Ji today and ask him about Ma Xiuping.

If there are no surprises, the two sides can get some air time and find an opportunity to meet each other.

Ji Yuanhai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The daughter-in-law he introduced to his elder brother also helped.

After another day of work and study, Ji Yuanhai returned home and took a look at the things in the courtyard.

Vegetables grown at home began to sprout, the fence took root deeper, and the wind and rain did not fall.

On the third day, Lu Heling went to work, and Ji Yuanhai carried a basket on his back and entered the county town.

I entered the county town and bought two bottles of wine, one for each of the popsicle seller Uncle Zhao and the doorman Uncle Dong.

The two uncles didn't expect that Ji Yuanhai really brought a gift this time, so they both declined quickly.

Drinking was an extremely rare pastime for men in this era, and it was usually on the loose.

Bottled wine is a good thing, not only is it more quality guaranteed than bulk wine, the glass bottle left after drinking can be sold for money, and can also be used to hold soy sauce and vinegar.

Facing the refusal of the two uncles, Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Why didn't I buy it last time I came here? Because last time I came here, I felt that our friendship was not enough, and it was inappropriate to send things randomly."

"I came here to bring some wine this time because we have enough friendship."

"I invite you to have a sip of wine, uncle. This is nothing but my heart!"

Uncle Zhao accepted the bottle of wine and grinned: "Young man, I want your wine, and I will accept your wish."

"But if you bring something to see me next time, I won't be selling popsicles here anymore. I'll have to move somewhere to hide from you!"

After repeatedly declining, Uncle Dong accepted the wine and also solemnly asked Ji Yuanhai not to bring such a gift.

Ji Yuanhai also knew that this kindness was enough, and more gifts would only make the two uncles feel uneasy.

I went to Mr. Wang's house to help look at the flowers and plants, and helped Song Meilanhua "lose weight" and "shape her body".

It feels a bit like medical cosmetic fine-tuning.

When Ji Yuanhai finished his work, Mr. Wang asked him if he had started studying.

Ji Yuanhai also answered truthfully: He and his wife are studying on their own and have already started preparing for the college entrance examination.

Mr. Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's good—"

"Today, shall we go after dinner?"

Ji Yuanhai was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't give you this face. It's just that I have to buy something else and I have to go back before dark. Time is very tight."

"It's really impossible to sit down, eat and chat with you for too long."

"If one day we have more time, it won't be too late."

The silver-haired woman came out and said, "Xiao Ji, don't be polite!"

"The old man has a weird temper, and he doesn't have many friends to talk to. He regards you as a year-end friend, and it's hard to make a friend."

"I just asked Xiao Wu to buy cooked food just to entertain you today. If you leave today, the old man will be disappointed."

Ji Yuanhai was a little hesitant—if he just had a meal, it would only take half an hour. If he ate with Mr. Wang, the two sides would take care of each other and then chat politely, but it would take at least two hours to finish the meal.

If you add wine, it will take three hours.

This time is really not plentiful.

Ji Yuanhai said the reason why he had to rush home, Mr. Wang was not angry, but asked: "Xiao Ji, how far is your Xiaoshantun from the county?"

"It's about 20 miles away." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"For this distance, you can ride a bicycle for at most half an hour, so do you need to be so careful?" Mr. Wang asked with a smile.

Ji Yuanhai was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wang, I don't have a bicycle."

"Ah? You don't have a bicycle?" Both Mr. Wang and the silver-haired woman were quite surprised, "How do you come to the county?"

"It will take about two hours to walk."

Ji Yuanhai said.

Mr. Wang was a little stunned, but then he became moved: "Xiao Ji, in order to plant flowers for me, every time you come, you walk for two hours, and then go home for another two hours."

“That’s four hours of non-stop walking!”

"Your kindness is so rare, I feel that I have treated you badly!"

"It's not unfair!" Ji Yuanhai said quickly, "Mr. Wang, you have been very kind to me."

"That's not okay, you come here every now and then, and you have to run for four or five hours on two legs every time, that's too hard!"

Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Ji, you have to buy a bicycle. Do you have enough money? If not enough, I will give it to you -"

Ji Yuanhai quickly said: "Old Wang, please don't give it to me!"

"I can't always take advantage of you, I really deserve it!"

"Besides, it's not that I don't have enough money. Even if I have money, I can't buy a bicycle. You must not give it to me!"

Mr. Wang was surprised: "If you have money, you can't buy a bicycle?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, a bicycle needs a ticket; if you have money, you can't buy a ticket if you don't have a ticket. It's not worth it if you have to use the money to exchange the ticket." Ji Yuanhai said.

Mr. Wang was surprised: "Weren't the bicycle tickets canceled six or seven years ago? Why are they still there?"

Ji Yuanhai was also surprised: "Mr. Wang, no?"

"I went to the supply and marketing agency to ask about it the day before yesterday, and it is true that bicycle tickets are needed."

Mr. Wang was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"I remember that the bicycle ticket has been cancelled, when will it be restored?"

It happened that the nanny, Aunt Wu, came back with cooked food while pushing her bicycle.

Hearing Mr. Wang talk about this topic, Aunt Wu interjected and said: "The ticket was canceled for a while, and then the ticket was restored."

"It's been five years since I switched back to using tickets."

"You don't buy a bike, you don't go out much, and of course you don't know it."

Mr. Wang suddenly realized: "Oh, that's what happened! Xiao Ji, when you come back next time, I will find you two bicycle tickets!"

"No, Mr. Wang, don't worry about me!"

Ji Yuanhai quickly declined and stood up to leave.

Mr. Wang pointed to the cooked food bought by the nanny Aunt Wu: "The food is here, why don't you leave?"

"You're welcome, let's go after dinner!" The silver-haired woman also persuaded, and said to Mr. Wang by the way, "Old man, don't chatter! Xiao Ji has to hurry home!"

Mr. Wang nodded again and again, and asked Ji Yuanhai to stay for a quick meal.

Ji Yuanhai saw that the kindness was hard to turn down, and he sincerely persuaded him to stay. After all, he stayed for dinner.

After all, Ji Yuanhai also has a memory of participating in many dinner parties. There is no problem with personal hygiene and details, and he is not too cramped when facing the old Wang and his wife. Possibly courteous.

After eating, when Ji Yuanhai was about to leave, the silver-haired woman suddenly said, "Hey, old man, is Xiaoyun's bicycle idle and useless?"
