Chapter 31: Good News and Bad News
The hare that An Wenjing had just been chasing was lying with its head tilted in the grass under a big tree.
One of its hind legs did not give up the attempt to escape and even shook twice.
"Ha ha ha ha."
“It turns out that the story of waiting for the rabbit to come to you is true.”
Chen Hui immediately understood why An Wenjing laughed like that just now.
This rabbit that was hit and killed under a tree stump looks really funny.
"I thought this rabbit was going to run away and I wouldn't be able to eat rabbit meat tonight. I didn't expect that, hahahaha."
An Wenjing's smile, which had just calmed down, was aroused again by Chen Hui.
He held onto the tree and couldn't help laughing.
An Wenjing didn't stop laughing until the rabbit in his hand kicked hard twice.
He flicked the rabbit's forehead and said, "Stop kicking me. I'll take you home and raise you. I'll also help you raise your children."
"Then I'll eat you first and then your child."
As Chen Hui spoke, he went over to pick up the rabbit from the bushes and put it into the pile of firewood in his backpack.
Then he picked up the backpack.
"Brother Chen Hui, you are too much. Don't tell me the truth in person. Let me carry the backpack, please?"
"No, my clothes are torn, and the basket on my back just covers it. Give me your hand."
"Ah!? Oh, hehe!"
An Wenjing extended her hand to Chen Hui, and the two walked back together holding hands.
When they reached a place where more people were working, An Wenjing withdrew her hand to avoid being made fun of again.
"They can't even hold hands with the daughter-in-law they're planning to marry into. They're so gossipy."
"Luckily I chose next month. If I had chosen a date at the end of the year, I would have been suffocated to death."
Chen Hui sighed and lowered his head to count.
It's twenty-eight now.
Twenty-nine, thirty, one, two, three, four, five, six.
Well, only eight days.
Xiang An Wenjing said: "Shall we go to the county town to buy some things tomorrow?"
"The new clothes have been made and the bicycle has been bought. Is there anything else you need?" An Wenjing said.
Considering that there were no adults left in Chen Hui's family, Lin Jiao made almost no demands on him.
I didn't want the betrothal gift.
Nor did he buy a sewing machine or a bicycle.
After making two new clothes, An Wenjing felt that she was ready.
"Just go and have a look! Marriage only happens once in a lifetime."
"That's fine!"
We walked back talking and laughing.
When I met people from the same village on the road, I greeted them openly.
An Wenjing is very popular in the village, and everyone is happy to see her.
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.
Even those who had not been optimistic about Chen Hui before would smile and nod.
In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, Chen Hui and An Wenjing quickly walked into the village.
"Let's go to my house first. This rabbit has been dragged along the road with its ears twisted. Don't hurt it."
"Uncle Xiaoqiao should be back by now, and I have to push the bike back to him."
Chen Hui's house is right next to the path leading up the mountain.
To get to An Wenjing's home, you have to almost cross the entire Chenjia Village.
"Okay, it kicked several times just now, it must be uncomfortable." An Wenjing nodded.
The two men walked in with smiles on their faces.
I saw the other two people sitting at the door of Chen Hui's house, with their arms on their knees and their chins supported by their palms, both of them looking worried.
"Goushun, Lao Si, why are you two here?"
Chen Hui was very happy to see them. He pulled the two of them up and looked them up and down, front and back.
Not only have I become younger, but even my former best friends have remained the same. It feels great.
These two are from Dasa Village. They get along well with Chen Hui, and the three of them have been together for a long time.
In his previous life, Chen Hui went out to work with Huang Miao a few years later.
I seized a suitable opportunity and earned the first little money in my life.
"Ah Hui, what are you doing?" Wu Si, who was called Lao Si, was confused by Chen Hui's reaction.
"I haven't seen you for several days. I'm glad to see you! I have good news to tell you." Chen Hui said happily.
"I have some bad news to tell you." Huang Miao, whose nickname is Gou Shun, stood up with a bitter face.
"What's up with him??"
Chen Hui pointed at Huang Miao and asked Wu Si.
"I don't know. He came to my house this afternoon and looked like this."
"When I asked him what happened, he refused to tell me. He said he would come over and tell me together." Wu Si spread his hands to show his helplessness.
"Didn't you say there was good news? Let's be happy first by listening to the good news." Huang Miao said with a sad face.
"Look at your miserable face, I can't even tell you good news. Tell me, what happened to you?" Chen Hui said.
Huang Miao shook his head and insisted on letting Chen Hui speak first.
"Ahhhh, I'm so annoyed!"
"How about this, I'll count to three and you two can say it together, is that okay?"
If one or two of them did this, Wu Si would go crazy.
"can!"
"Huh, okay."
"Ahem, get ready! One, two, three!"
"I'm getting married."
“I’m getting married!!!”
"."
Wu Si looked at Chen Hui and then at Huang Miao.
Chen Hui and Huang Miao looked at each other.
Finally, the three of them looked at each other.
"We'll talk about your situation later." Wu Sixian stopped Huang Miao, who looked like a victim.
He asked Chen Hui, who was beaming with joy, "What's wrong with you? You want to get married after just a few days of not seeing each other? Who are you marrying?"
"Let me introduce you to An Wenjing, my wife!"
Chen Hui pulled An Wenjing over, put his arm around her shoulders and said proudly.
"She is An Wenjing?"
"Ah! Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law!" Huang Miao said with a nod and a bow.
"Hello."
"I'll go in and find a nest for the rabbit first."
An Wenjing was not used to this kind of scene. She smiled at the two of them, and after she finished speaking, she gently pried Chen Hui's hand open and pushed the door open.
"Hey, there are several people in our village who have a crush on her. She is very popular."
"She is indeed very pretty, and looks like a city girl. She speaks in a gentle and soft voice."
"Tell me, how did you ask someone to marry you?"
Seeing An Wenjing enter the room, Wu Si closed the door and moved forward to gossip in a low voice.
"She offered to marry me."
"Will you die if you don't brag?"
"No, it's true!"
"How many years have we been brothers? If you can talk about having a wife, we will believe you. If you can talk about something like this, I will only believe it if I dig out my eyes. And he took the initiative."
"Bah!" Huang Miao, who was in a depressed mood, couldn't help but speak out.
"If you don't believe me, wait until she comes out and ask her yourself."
"Tell me about yourself, what's your situation? Why do you suddenly want to get married?"
"Just get married, why do you look like you're being forced into it?" Chen Hui asked Huang Miao.
"Hey, you don't know."
Huang Miao's mood had just improved a little, but when Chen Hui asked him a question, he felt like a frost-bitten eggplant again.
He sat down on the doorstep and was almost crying as he spoke.
"If I could marry someone like my sister-in-law, I would be happy too. I'd be happier than Ah Hui!"
"You don't know, my mother wants me to marry Wu Guihua!"
Chen Hui and Wu Si looked at each other, smiled bitterly in tacit understanding, and asked in unison:
"What does your mother think?"
