Chapter 143: Chapter 142 Feng Ying Gets Married (Monthly Ticket 490+)

Gao Jiaxing approached Xia Xiao and said, "Why don’t you come to my house for dinner? My mom is a great cook, and you love the dishes she makes."

"I’ll have the chance to eat your aunt’s cooking another time, I’ve already agreed to cook with my dorm mates," Xia Xiao replied.

"Are Feng Ying and Dong Meihua joining too?" Gao Jiaxing raised an eyebrow.

Xia Xiao shook his head, "Not them, but Xu Mei, Yao Wangchun, and Gu Weiguo will be there."

"Gu Weiguo is joining too?" Gao Jiaxing frowned.

"Yes."

"Then I’ll join too," Gao Jiaxing said.

Xia Xiao was speechless, "You’re not an ’educated youth’, what are you joining for? Plus, you have a home, and your aunt’s cooking is good. Why come here and settle for less?"

Gao Jiaxing huffed twice, frustrated, and walked away.

Xia Xiao watched Gao Jiaxing’s retreating figure and muttered, "Weirdo."

Back at home, Zheng Xianghong said, "Didn’t get what you wanted, did you?"

Gao Jiaxing remained silent, and Zheng Xianghong continued, "Mom told you to focus on your studies. You don’t have any advantages right now, and you’re not part of Xia Xiao’s group. Focus on your studies, get into a university, at least then you’ll have a respectable stature, good enough to match others, and others will look up to you."

"I’m going to study," Gao Jiaxing said and went straight to his room.

Soon, Wang Aihua, Sun Yuhua, and Yang Xuehua decided to cook together, and also agreed to join Gu Weiguo, Yao Wangchun, and Xu Mei.

So they all started cooking at the Youth Point. Today one person would provide the food, tomorrow another, taking turns. As for the vegetables, they were mostly wild greens, sometimes picked during work, like mushrooms.

It was mostly vegetarian, but on festivals or special days, everyone would pool money to buy some meat to add to the dishes.

At the Youth Point, Xia Xiao and others also opened up a small plot each to grow some vegetables.

The first day, Wang Aihua and Sun Yuhua cooked; the second day, it was Yang Xuehua and Xia Xiao; and the third day, Xu Mei, Yao Wangchun, and Gu Weiguo cooked together.

After a few days, everyone unanimously requested Xia Xiao to cook; although she didn’t use "extra" ingredients, her cooking skills were relatively better than the others, and the food tasted better too.

Xia Xiao also noticed that most people just boiled their food; there was little frying. Xia Xiao’s methods were more varied.

Once Xia Xiao started cooking, everyone else assisted, but she only handled the stir-frying. Everything else was quite relaxed for her.

Fang Yuejin, after eating a few days of cafeteria food, saw how delicious the meals looked at Wang Aihua’s group and asked to join.

Everyone agreed for Fang Yuejin to join, but they stated that with eight people, they couldn’t let more join as it would be too much to handle.

Xia Xiao very much agreed; cooking for eight was already a stretch, any more would make it akin to cooking a communal meal.

And Xia Xiao regretted it somewhat; she thought cooking just with her three dormitory roommates was quite sufficient and nice.

Feng Ying and Dong Meihua, seeing how lively Xia Xiao’s cooking group was, felt bitter. Dong Meihua said to Feng Ying, "Sister Feng Ying, you should consider the matter with Liu Haiguo."

Feng Ying stayed silent, and Dong Meihua continued, "Given our situation in the production team, you’ve felt it too. If you marry Liu Haiguo and go to the Red Star Production Team, maybe if one day I can’t stay here anymore, I’ll also come and join you. Now Xia Xiao’s standing in the production team is getting higher and higher, and our situation isn’t great, and Director Li really can’t protect us."

"Okay," Feng Ying said, feeling the hardship of daily life lately. Xia Xiao’s popularity contrasted sharply against hers, and despite her reluctance, Feng Ying had no choice.

Staying in the production team meant she might never get ahead, but moving to the Red Star Production Team would be different. As long as she married Liu Haiguo, becoming the team leader’s wife, her status would nearly equal Zheng Xianghong or Li Shengmei.

At this moment, Feng Ying completely forgot about Liu Haihua, her potential sister-in-law. She felt she couldn’t stay in the production team any longer. Li Shengmei’s words came back to her.

She would have preferred to go home, but it wasn’t feasible; marrying Liu Haiguo was the only way to change her situation.

When Li Shengmei heard Feng Ying’s intentions, she decided to help and made a trip to the Red Star Production Team.

By then, Liu Haihua was strongly opposed to Liu Haiguo pursuing Xia Xiao, unwilling to accept Xia Xiao as her sister-in-law, constantly causing a fuss around Liu Haiguo.

Liu Haiguo hadn’t gone to the Guangming Production Team, not out of lack of desire, but because Liu Haihua was using her pregnancy as leverage.

Yes, Liu Haihua was pregnant with Ge Lai’s child, a result of an accident between them.

At one point, Liu Haihua even considered not keeping the baby, but Mrs. Liu and Liu Haiguo, through much persuasion, convinced her to keep it, but she threatened if Liu Haiguo went to the Guangming Production Team, she would abort the child.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Haiguo cared about the child in Liu Haihua’s womb even more than Ge Lai, the father, mostly because of Liu Jiefang’s last words.

Now with Li Shengmei’s involvement, she spoke to Mrs. Liu and Liu Haihua about Feng Ying. To Liu Haihua, as long as it wasn’t Xia Xiao, she didn’t care whom her brother married.

So understandably, Li Shengmei easily gained the agreement of Mrs. Liu and Liu Haihua. After Li Shengmei left, Mrs. Liu asked Liu Haihua, "Is Feng Ying really that good?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Better than that Xia Xiao, anyway," Liu Haihua replied.

Mrs. Liu nodded, often hearing her daughter and Liu Yue express their dislike and criticism toward Xia Xiao; she also disliked the idea of Liu Haiguo being with Xia Xiao, and like any mother, seeing her son so invested in a woman made her uneasy.

Li Shengmei, having got the word, brought Feng Ying to the Red Star Production Team the next day to meet them. Mrs. Liu, seeing Feng Ying, nodded, pleased with her honest and down-to-earth appearance. Knowing that Feng Ying was a high school graduate and a city native made her even more satisfied.

When Liu Haiguo found out, Mrs. Liu had already approved, and Liu Haihua harbored no objections.

Liu Haiguo was furious, but Mrs. Liu was adamant to the point of threatening to harm herself, effectively blackmailing Liu Haiguo.

When Xia Xiao and the others found out that Feng Ying was actually marrying Liu Haiguo, everyone was surprised, especially knowing it was Li Shengmei who brokered the match made everyone speechless.

In June, Feng Ying officially moved from the Youth Point to the Red Star Production Team.

Once they knew she was marrying Liu Haiguo, the production team processed her move quickly, and Feng Ying’s household registration and files were transferred from the Guangming Production Team to the Red Star Production Team.

With Feng Ying gone, Dong Meihua felt even more isolated, so she grew closer to Li Shengmei, visiting the He family more often.

Meanwhile, Gao Jiaxing also successfully started his final year in high school, the most crucial year, and he was now studying harder than ever.
