"What happened? Did your village chief come out to call the police?"

"That's not the case. Zhang Deping couldn't stand it and said that they wanted Duan Xiaoxi to get married just to get food. It happened that Duan Xiaoxi had just met a girl from a neighboring village, and the girl was very satisfied with him, so he asked Aunt Juhua to ask if they could get married as soon as possible. As a result, when she mentioned 500 kilograms of food, the girl was kicked out.

I said something that really made Aunt Juhua very angry."

"What did you say?"

"She said that it was more cost-effective for them to buy a cow than to marry a wife. A refugee was only worth 20 kilograms of grain. Five hundred kilograms. She thought she was a fairy and said that Aunt Juhua was a marriage fraud."

Yun Shudai sighed, "Yes, they are greedy enough. They think their daughter is so good for 500 kilograms of food. To put it bluntly, even if they want to exchange their daughter for food, at least they should raise her to be plump and white, so that she can give birth to children. You want the horse to run fast but you don't want it to eat grass."

"Yes, that's the reason. In the end, when the situation was at a stalemate, Zhang Deping stood up and said he was willing to marry Duan Xiaoxi. He was willing to give her the 500 kilograms of food, but she had to write an agreement."

"My god, Zhang Zhiqing from your Zhiqing Point is a good person."

"Yes, but they were also very smart. They knew the family's true colors and asked them to write a severance agreement. But the parents went against their will and asked for 600 kilograms of grain instead. Finally, Li Weidong and a few others came. Aunt Juhua couldn't stand it and started arguing with them. The village chief and the party secretary also came.

Seeing that we were outnumbered, they didn’t dare to act rogue, and in the end, they still weighed 500 kilograms.”

"Does Zhang Deping have 500 kilograms of food?"

"He didn't have any. Finally, I stepped forward and said I had 30 kilograms, so he could use it first. Then Wang Xiaorong and the other three gave Zhang Deping 10 kilograms each. Zhang Deping himself had 20 kilograms, so he used 20 yuan to buy 30 kilograms of food, and the rest was borrowed from the village."

"This is a lot of food. How long will it take him to pay it back?" "That can't be helped. Originally, I wanted to help Duan Xiaoxi. I thought that if someone fell in love with her and her family came to ask for food, I would secretly give them 500 kilograms of food.

Now I can’t secretly give Zhang Deping food in the middle of the night. After all, everyone in the educated youth camp knows how much food each other has.”

"I'll pay it back slowly in the future. Anyway, it's not bad to have a wife. He's so reckless, will his family agree?"

"It's unclear. Anyway, this afternoon, the parents, under the approval of the Party branch secretary and the village chief, put their fingerprints on the severance letter and left with the food. They didn't even look at Duan Xiaoxi. Anyway, Duan Xiaoxi's eyes were swollen from crying today."

"It's better not to have such parents."

"That's right. I persuaded her a lot today, and finally she came to her senses. She pulled Zhang Deping and said she wanted to marry her.

Zhang Deping was acting on impulse. He thought he was the one who saved the person, so he was just doing her a favor and never thought of actually marrying her.

I owe the team some food, but at most I have to tighten my belt in the next two years and I can still pay it back.

But Aunt Juhua said that if they didn't get married, Duan Xiaoxi's household registration couldn't be transferred here, and she wouldn't be a member of our population, so she couldn't be assigned a job to earn work points. Besides, 500 kilograms of food cost several hundred yuan, and a wife was expensive. He was not young anymore, so this was just the right thing to do.

Ask him to send a telegram home tomorrow to tell them about this matter." (End of this chapter)
