half of the night. When it was nearly dawn, the four of them had finished making breakfast, which included Liu's confinement meal.Because of the harvest from those three bags of grain, both breakfast..."Brother Qian, when will Chen Jia Shu be back There's no necessary connection between him coming back and me marrying you. You live, eat, and work with him, so you know his character better than anyone."

Because of Pan Nuan Nuan's frame-up, I had the chance to see through his true face. Actually, I am very grateful for this because he wants everything but is unwilling to give anything in return.

So even at the educated youth point, everyone just thought that our relationship was average. This actually made me choose Zhao Jingchen without any hesitation.

All are intelligent people, and Lian Yi spoke her thoughts very directly.

"I understand! Just keep that in mind."

Qian Jian Guo nodded, approving of Lian Yi's choice.

When the wedding preparations of Lian Yi and Zhao Jingcheng were still underway, the Red Flag Commune was the first to welcome two policemen. They came to investigate the case of the black bear injuring someone.

Because Zhao Fendou and his family were all out of town, everything was handled by the deputy captain. He took three police officers directly to the old ancestral hall, first looking at Hei Xiong's body and then at the recovered body parts.

"The police said it's because the weather is cold now, otherwise these would have already stunk. You see."

Deputy Captain Zhao Fengshou opened the ancestral hall's big lock and let three police officers go in to check.

"Captain Zhao, tell us about what you discovered first."

An officer took out his pen and notebook, and began to question Zhao Fengshou. The other two men, one went to look at the bodies of the two black bears, and the other looked at the severely damaged corpse.

An hour later, the three of them left the old ancestral hall.

Where did you find him

"Enclosed in the woods."

Zhao Fengshou immediately replied, and added:

Three police officers agreed, "Winter is already here and it looks like it's going to snow soon. It's hard to get into the middle area right now. If you want to see where they were found, it's best to wait until spring."

“By the time spring arrives, we will have gone and all traces will be lost.”

The first police officer to speak said.

"I understand, but this also depends on the weather. If we insist on going into the forest, we might get trapped."

Zhao Fengshou also said seriously, involving life and death, he dared not agree.

"Rest assured, after a preliminary investigation, it seems both of them perished at the claws of a black bear. What I don't understand is, with such heavy snow, what were they doing venturing into the forest"

"That's a long story"

Zhao Fengshou repeated the reasons for the infighting among the educated youths, which then led to what happened next.

"This is a big deal. Pan Nuannuan is a young educated youth who just disappeared. Our brigade can't explain to her parents, so we reported it at the time. You can check the records."

"I understand! If there are no other issues, after we leave, we will classify this incident as a black bear attack. As for your organization of villagers to hunt in the mountains privately, resulting in casualties, there will be a different way of handling it."

The leader closed their notebook, as if reaching a conclusion.

Zhao Fengshou deliberately made a pained expression and said:

"The police agreed, after we paid our public grain tax, we didn't have much food left. If we don't go to the mountains to find some food, by spring we will be starving. This is an unwritten rule in our village."

Everything was going smoothly until that educated youth named Chen Jia Shu came along. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have so many people injured. The medical expenses are still unresolved!"

Three policemen looked at each other, unable to respond. After all, Captain Zhao was telling the truth.

"Now our captain is still lying in the town's health center because of this! They said his blood pressure was too high and he couldn't wake up. This whole mess has been dumped on me, and I've turned gray with worry."

"We understand. We will report the situation of the Red Flag Commune truthfully to the organization and do our best to prevent the matter from escalating."

“Thank you, three public security officers, for coming to my house. After working so hard for half a day, at least have some hot water.”

Zhao Fengshou was very capable and eventually treated the three officers to lunch. He personally drove his ox cart, sending them back to town. He stayed there until noon the next day before bringing back the results of their investigation.

After investigation, this incident involving the Red Flag Commune organizing unauthorized hunting trips leading to casualties was a serious breach of discipline. However, as Captain Zhao Fudou is deceased, his responsibility for negligence will not be pursued.

The two black bears were sold, and considering the actual situation of the Red Flag Commune, the money from the sale was used for post-event handling. This means medical expenses for injured personnel and funeral costs for deceased personnel came from here. Any remaining funds were then allocated by the commune itself.

Zhao Jingcheng went to the educated youth point specifically and told everyone this news.

"Oh! At least Chen JiaShu can still get some money this way, but Pan Nuannuan will have nothing."

"Who said otherwise! Should we inform the Pan family about what happened to Pan Nuan Nuan"

The commune will definitely come out with a statement, but no one is to blame for this.

It's hard to say, she was found with Zhao Zhuanzi after all.

As soon as Sun Sheng finished speaking, the male educated youths fell silent.

"Alright, we'll still be living at Hongqi Commune. We just need to take care of ourselves. When Chen Jia Shu returns, we'll look after him a bit more."

qian jianguo said in a deep voice.

"Understood, Qian Big Brother!"

On the other side, the three people were also talking about this, expressing a few emotions, and then steered the topic to the menu of Lianyi's wedding banquet.

After two days of preparation, Zhao Jingcheng and Lianyi's simple wedding ceremony was held in the courtyard of the educated youth spot.

Liàn Yī wore a fashionable olive-green suit, while Zhào Jǐngchéng donned a black woolen中山裝. The fabric was provided by Liàn Yī, and Caoshí's family helped tailor it for Zhào Jǐngchéng. After putting it on, the young man looked even more spirited.

The courtyard of the educated youth point wasn't very big, with only two tables set up, one for men and one for women. The guests were all chosen in advance, consisting of respected elders from the village and classmates from the educated youth point.

The dishes were also relatively simple, including braised pork with rice noodles, stewed pork belly with potatoes, a steamed fish, stir-fried cabbage, chestnut chicken stew, and stir-fried potato shreds. Plus, there was a pot of tofu soup with glistening oil flowers. For the staple food, they had coarse grain flatbreads.

As soon as the dish was served, everyone started drooling. This was a real deal hearty meal, it was obvious that the two of them had put a lot of thought into it.

"Jǐngchéng, Wú Zhīqīng, it's amazing that you guys have prepared such a large table of dishes! It must have cost quite a bit of money,"

Zhao Fengshou said with a smile.

Because Zhao Fendou is gone, he became the guest of honor for the couple. At this time, there was still a bit of pride in his heart.

“The main idea is to make everyone happy. The only things we bought were pork, tofu, and millet cakes. Everything else is game that I hunted myself, fish that I caught from the river with a net – just two, we didn’t dare catch any more!”

Ripple explained with a smile, she didn't want to give the villagers the impression that they were wealthy.

Having heard the ripples' words, everyone looked and saw that it was indeed true. Potatoes and cabbages were all pre-stored winter vegetables, and chestnuts had been collected from the mountains.

"Ha ha, this proves that our situation allows us to support Wu Zhiqing. Don't you think so"

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately started cheering.ree elders. Their opinions are currently divided."Ang nodded and shrugged.Liàn Yī actually wants to meet this Elizabeth."Then we can only wait for news."Ripple went back to her dwelling and tried cont...
