Zhou Yian had two days of leisure. The next day, Song Songbai went somewhere unknown. He might have gone to find someone to prepare ginseng.

Zhou Yian ignored him, knowing that the old man driving the cattle that day also wanted to go to the city. It was five cents a trip, cheaper than renting a car, and she didn't have to ride it herself. She wanted to go to the county again.

Although Song Songbai is a good cook, she cannot cook without rice. Apart from the roasted rabbit yesterday, she has not eaten meat.

They were drying corn today, and everyone had agreed to go to the county, so of course she had to go buy some things too.

Five or six aunties were huddled together. When they saw Zhou Yian coming, they all greeted him enthusiastically, "Is that Zhou Zhiqing? Are you going to the county too? Come up quickly."

"This is Zhou Zhiqing, so handsome."

Zhou Yian smiled at them, because they all married into Gejiazhuang, so if she called her Aunt Ge, it would probably attract a lot of people.

She just called her "Auntie," "Good morning, Auntie. Are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative later?"

"Yes, we are going to buy some sundries." An older lady who looked familiar spoke to me, as if we were picking wild vegetables together.

"That's great, Auntie. I just wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative but I don't know how to get there." Zhou Yian really didn't know the way very well. His original body knew him in the city before, and Song Songbai also led the way when he went to the county last time.

"Luckily the ladies are going too, otherwise I would be in a mess."

"Zhou Zhiqing, I like you very much. Are you married?" Another round-faced lady spoke.

Looks like a matchmaker.

"I'm the matchmaker for the entire village in Gejiazhuang. You can just call me Aunt Zhang."

Zhou Yian was about to say no when Song Songbai's dark eyes from yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.

Didn't dare to speak.

Aunt Zhang, the wild vegetable lady, said for her, "Zhou Zhiqing and another educated youth who went to the countryside look like a couple. You'd better not join in the fun."

Zhou Yian thought about it and realized that apart from the protagonist, there were no other outstanding talents in this country, so there was nothing good for anyone to introduce. "Aunt Zhang, I don't have any plans for this at the moment. If you are interested, I will contact you."

She would never admit that she was a little scared.

The ox cart entered the county and stopped under a big banyan tree.

"It's still the same old rules. We'll be back at 1 p.m. Please pay attention to the time." said the old man.

Zhou Yian followed Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was very enthusiastic and kept talking to her all the way.

"The educated young man Song who was with you yesterday is obviously very popular. You two have been working hard in the countryside, so it's nice to be together."

Zhou Yian laughed awkwardly, he was a little too enthusiastic.

"Aunt Zhang, I didn't ask you yesterday how many people are in your family? Has your son found a wife?" she counterattacked.

"My youngest son got married last year, and he was found to be pregnant two days ago. So I came to the county to buy some meat." Speaking of this, the old lady became excited.

Zhou Yian nodded and said, okay, the counterattack failed.

"So, what about farm work during the first three months of pregnancy?" Zhou Yian asked. "It's the busy farming season, so if I don't do it, will the village chief and the others agree?"

"Why would I disagree? Isn't his eldest daughter-in-law pregnant too? She's still not working." Aunt Zhang sneered. "The youngest is almost thirteen, and she hasn't been working either."

The "yao'er" refers to the youngest child, who should be Xiao Ge Qing.

That's true.

After all, the village chief of Gejiazhuang is the most powerful person in the village. His wife is the women's director here. His three sons are basically all team leaders.

It turns out that Ge Qiuze, this shining guy, is actually the son of an official.

"Yes, Auntie, the baby is more important, the first three months are crucial." Zhou Yian comforted.

"Don't you know, Aunt Zhang? I'm not the kind of old hag who stings her daughter-in-law. I'm not like that," Aunt Zhang said softly. "Just sit on the far right."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yian also leaned over and asked softly, "Looks a bit mean."

"That Aunt Qi always relies on the fact that she has a son working in the city. She even forced her daughter-in-law to work in the fields when she was pregnant. The fetus was not well taken care of, and the baby was born with difficulty, and she died." Aunt Zhang winked and talked about gossip with great joy.

"That's such a sin. A life was lost! What about the child?" Zhou Yian also looked sad.

"It's a boy, and he's just sick now." Aunt Zhang felt it was really comfortable to talk to her, and she was good at making jokes.

"I think Aunt Qi must be regretting her decision now. At first, her daughter-in-law's belly was so round that everyone thought it was a girl. That's why she tortured her so cruelly. Who knew it would turn out to be a boy?" People in the countryside are superstitious and believe that a pointed belly indicates a boy and a round belly indicates a girl. How can this be true?

"Oh, the child is sick now, so it will be very difficult to take care of him." Zhou Yian said that raising a child is difficult.

"Who said it wasn't? That's why I'm thinking of marrying another one now."

"With a mother-in-law like this, who would dare to marry her? Aren't they afraid of being tortured again?"

"No, after all, her son works in the city and gets a salary. There are still many people who are tempted by him. But Aunt Qi is too proud to look down on them." Aunt Zhang suddenly stared at her up and down.

"You are so outstanding, I am afraid that old hag will take a fancy to you, so be careful."

"Oh, that's not the case." Zhou Yian was surprised. She had no intention of getting married.

"Of course not. She's very ambitious. It's possible she'll fall for you. Matchmaker Zhang has suggested several candidates for her son, but she disagrees with all of them, saying they're not good enough." Aunt Zhang was a little dissatisfied. "Although her son is indeed a good person, with a mother like her, no one who cares about their children would be interested in him."
