Chapter 1388 Breaking off the Engagement 37
When it was Yuanchun's turn to get the meat, there was no more meat on the pork plate. Only a pile of large bones, ribs, and pig offal were left, and even the pig's head was gone.
The captain said, "There is no real meat left, it's all bone meat. I'll give you more. Take a look and see what you want."
Yuanchun pointed at the pig's offal and said, "Give me a plate of offal, half a rack of ribs, and two large bones."
After that, he added, "Uncle Wang, my family doesn't have enough quota, I'll buy it with money."
"That's enough. You and your brother are the families of martyrs. You should be taken care of by the village. Over the years, the village has ignored you and you have suffered." Wang Jianguo picked up the pig offal and put it into her wooden barrel. "This pig offal is your share. These ribs and bones are the village's care for you."
Wang Jianguo is a very fair person and he knows how to be a good person.
Yuanchun secretly praised his character and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. I'll be welcome then."
"You're welcome. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I will help you if I can. If I can't solve it, there is still the village commune."
Yuanchun's eyes were red with emotion, "Uncle Wang, you are a good person."
The next day is the Little New Year.
The food factory had a day off.
Shen Yuandong took an early boat back to the village and spent the New Year's Eve with Yuanchun. The next day he took an early boat back to work.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, all employees in the food factory were given a holiday.
Shen Yuandong rushed home in the afternoon, carrying a lot of bags in her hands, which made many people in the village jealous. If Yuanchun had not set too high conditions for finding a brother or sister, the threshold of her house would have been demolished by the matchmaker.
Shen Yuandong's conditions basically meet Yuanchun's requirements for a partner: he is good-looking, 1.8 meters tall, has no parents, no burdens, and has a formal job.
With such good conditions, every girl in the village wants to marry Shen Yuandong.
However, Yuanchun's conditions were too high, and no girl in the village could meet them.
But there were also some girls who refused to give up. They would hang around Yuanchun's house several times a day, hoping to meet Shen Yuandong by chance, and fantasizing that Shen Yuandong would fall in love with them at first sight and then marry them despite Yuanchun's opposition.
Unfortunately, Shen Yuandong is a sister-con.
When he got home, he didn't go anywhere but helped his sister with housework.
It was not until the first day of the Lunar New Year that Shen Yuandong finally went out, still with Yuanchun. The brother and sister carried a vegetable basket with a bag of brown sugar, a bag of fruit candies, and two bottles of white wine in it, and went to the captain's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Wang Jianguo received the brother and sister warmly.
When the brother and sister came back, the basket contained a pound of sausage, six eggs and a pack of biscuits.
Shen Yuandong said, "Uncle Wang is much better than Sun Jianye. When we gave Sun Jianye New Year greetings and presented him with nuts and eggs, he even implied that we were stingy and didn't give enough gifts."
Those eggs were saved by him and his sister, and the nuts were also picked by his sister who got up early in the morning and went to the mountains.
These are the things that the villagers give as gifts.
Moreover, they wished Sun Jianye a happy new year, but Sun Jianye did not give them any gift in return.
Wang Jianguo's character is much better than Sun Jianye's, and the gift he gave in return is almost the same as the ones they gave him.
Yuanchun said, "Next time I go fishing and find something good, I'll send some to Uncle Wang."
Wang Jianguo will definitely buy the seafood caught from the sea without paying for it.
Shen Yuandong smiled, "Sister, today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, no one will go to the beach, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go for a walk on the beach."
"Okay, I'll cook lunch early." After a pause, she continued, "I'll ask Aunt Erniu and Taohua if they want to go."
Shen Yuandong's ears turned a little red, and he hummed lightly.
