On the day Yu You and her parents went out to sea, the whole family transmigrated to the 1970s. And they were a family of cannon fodder!
Yu You's predecessor was even designed by her cous...
Yu You asked doubtfully, "No, when did your uncle become so popular?"
An An glanced at his mother and said, "Mom, my uncle is tall and handsome. Many girls in the village like him."
Ningning nodded wildly, her high ponytail swaying back and forth: "My brother is right!"
Cao Xiu looked at the confident expressions on the faces of her grandson and granddaughter and asked with interest, "How did you two know that?"
These two are only eight years old, and they already understand all this love and affection? Youyou even got a PhD back then and still didn't understand!
An An leaned over and explained in a low voice: "Grandma, many women in the village asked us to bring things to my uncle before."
Ning Ning followed up with, "They even offered us benefits, but we rejected them all."
There was a matter-of-fact look on his face, and he felt that he had done it openly and honestly.
Cao Xiu praised: "Look at our child, he has known not to be tempted since he was young."
An An said uncomfortably, "Grandma, that's not the case. It's mainly because my uncle laughs foolishly at Aunt Zhou next door every day. He's the only one who's stupid."
Ningning's face was full of pride.
"Yes, Grandma, Mom, every time we refuse a favor from a village girl, we tell Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou always gives us a reward."
Yu You...
Cao Xiu...
She was wrong. These two kids grew up with their mother, how could they not be obsessed with money!
The two of them didn't even bother cleaning the equipment. They just dried their hands and followed the two children to Qin's house.
The Qin family's yard was very lively.
Zhang Shuying and Wang Yuerong were surrounded by seven or eight matchmakers and laughed dryly.
With such a busy scene, there is no longer any embarrassment of worrying about the children not being able to find a partner.
As soon as Cao Xiu arrived, she plunged into this group of middle-aged women.
Knowing someone has been admitted to university, it's understandable to try to climb up the social ladder. But it doesn't mean forcing someone to go on a blind date, right?
Qin Zhidong was in the yard, his face pale with anxiety, and Yu You and the two children surrounded him.
Yu You jokingly said, "Zhidong, you're quite popular, aren't you?"
Ning Ning pouted: "Uncle, you are such a heartless man!"
Qin Zhidong… “No, what’s wrong with me?”
Yu You: "You're fine, but you're popular, and so is Linlin. I guess there are a lot of people looking for marriage proposals. Some people will regret it if they miss out."
Qin Zhidong's face was filled with anxiety: "Sister-in-law, I, I..."
An An: "Uncle, a beautiful lady is always a good match for a gentleman. You are a tall and handsome man, you can't even chase a woman, right?"
Qin Zhidong: "I, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of Linlin. After all, our current status is okay in the commune, but we will still be looked down upon outside. She deserves better."
An An was filled with deep resentment and said, "That's it. Who will be willing to marry me in the future?"
Ning Ning was extremely disappointed: "It's over, it's over. Who will be willing to marry me in the future?"
Qin Zhidong looked at his nephew and niece and quickly comforted them, "No, that's not what I meant. You are so outstanding, there must be a lot of people lining up to pursue you. They won't look down on your status."
An An: "Are you as popular as my uncle? You even got third place in the exam. Look, we have so many matchmakers coming to our house all at once."
Qin Zhidong...
Yu You sighed. He didn't expect that the straight man Qin Zhidong was so thoughtful.
"Then let me ask you, what kind of person do you think Linlin would marry? An eight-generation poor peasant?"
Qin Zhidong shook his head: "When she goes to college, she can marry a classmate with a good family background and good prospects."
Yu You: "What if her family dislikes her?"
Qin Zhidong: "No, she is such a nice person."
Yu You: "Have you ever considered that you and she are actually a perfect match in every aspect. Whether it's your habits or your upbringing, you're very compatible. Changing to someone else might not be good for her."
"Besides, how do you know what she's thinking? And how do you know what Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are thinking?"
"You think it's disgust, but others may think it's luck! You think you're letting go with pain, but others may be devastated by it."
An An shook her head: "I didn't expect that my uncle is the most antique in our family, and the least confident one is also my uncle."
Ning Ning: "Poor Aunt Zhou, she just happened to fall in love with a wooden stake."
Qin Zhidong...
The tone was a little uncertain: "Sister-in-law, can I, can I?"
Yu You: "Why not? Why not? Are you two not on the same page, or are your families blocking it?"
"A real man should pave the way for the two of you to be together. Backing down without making any effort, what's that?"
An An: "What a coward!"
Ningning: "He's a coward!"
Qin Zhidong's heart was pounding, his mind was as turbulent as a turbulent lake, and the suppressed emotions were like bamboo shoots after the rain, breaking through the thick soil with unstoppable force.
But he couldn't stand still any longer: "Then I'll go ask Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou and Linlin what they think."
Yu You grabbed Qin Zhidong and said, "Yes, I have to ask. Oh, it seems you are going to confess."
"Don't be so stupid and just rush in front of them and say whatever you want. We need to plan it carefully so that they won't be disappointed after all the time they've been paying attention to you."
Qin Zhidong: "You're planning this kind of thing?"
Yu You: "Of course we have to plan it! We have to have a ring, and there has to be a ceremony."
Yu You looked at An An and Ning Ning's interested expressions, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"Got it! An'an, Ningning, go get Yanyan, Yueyue, and all the friends you usually play with."
That day, Cao Xiu used her eloquence to send a group of matchmakers out the door, but none of them agreed to a blind date.
Just kidding, if they agree to this and the Zhou family finds out, it will seem like they don't know etiquette and are not sincere about the marriage between their two children.
Zhang Shuying and Wang Yuerong stared at him with their eyes wide open, their hearts ablaze with admiration.
It was as if the door to a new world had opened for these two women who had been elegant all their lives. From then on, they devoted themselves to their studies, and even after returning to Beijing, they never lost an argument again!
Two days later at noon, a group of children did not go home after school, but ran to the door of Zhou's house.
Fan Qin and Zhou Linlin were cooking, and Zhou Xing'an was lighting the fire.
Fan Qin complained, "A group of matchmakers came into the Qin family the day before yesterday, and your daughter has lost her smile."
"Today we said we should slap some cucumbers, but she thought she was slapping her own hand with a cucumber. Luckily it was the side of the knife; if it was the blade, her hand would have been ruined."
"Isn't Zhidong your apprentice? Just think of it as your daughter's sake, why don't you just ask him."
Zhou Xing'an: "Your daughter likes him, but I've treated him like my own son for so many years. But relationships can't be forced. I'm saying it's like something else."
Fan Qin: "What's going on? Don't delay any longer. I'll ask you, and I'll make you understand even if I die!"
Then I heard a group of children outside shouting, "Auntie Zhou, come out quickly!"
