Only after seeing Yao Xiaoman walk into Qiao Zhiqing's home did the group of women dare to continue.
"No wonder Yao and Zhou Zhiqing have such a close relationship with Qiao Zhiqing. They benefited a lot from Qiao Zhiqing when they went to the countryside."
Everyone still remembers that among the first educated youth who went to the countryside, only Qiao was the most active and efficient in work and always received full pay.
The other two female educated youth often worked in the same team with educated youth Qiao, so they got full work pay.
At that time, many people in the team were secretly dissatisfied.
I always feel that the wages these educated youth receive are not worth it.
It was the team leader who privately found the team members and said that the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside was proposed by the state leaders in order to support labor construction in the countryside. The educated youth who were able to respond to the policy and go to the countryside were all there to help the team build their homeland, and they should be more tolerant of them.
Besides, they are just a group of children who have never done farm work before. If they are too harsh on them, it will not only dampen their enthusiasm, but also make the people in their team seem unkind and hard-hearted.
In addition, Qiao Zhiqing did a really good job, and under her leadership, the educated youth also did a lot of work.
So, the people in the team stopped talking later.
"Not only that, Yao Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing are both dating and I heard they are planning to get married. Their partners were introduced by Qiao Zhiqing and his wife."
"I know that. One is a soldier named Qi, and the other is a soldier named Zhuang. I have seen both of them. They are handsome and both are obviously good-looking. Yao Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing are lucky."
"Hey, I have a niece on my mother's side. How about I go and ask Qiao Zhiqing to introduce a soldier to my niece?"
“…”
But the aunt had already stood up impatiently, completely forgetting that she had just said "Qiao Zhiqing doesn't know how to live" and only kept muttering: "Yes, yes, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have told me many times to introduce a good marriage for my niece, preferably one with a rich family who can afford a house. These soldiers all have allowances, so their family conditions must be good..."
Seeing her walking away, the rest of the people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Someone lowered his voice and said, "She must be possessed by a demon. She only saw Yao Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing talking about military confrontation under the introduction of Qiao Zhiqing. Why didn't she think about the fact that Yao Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing look good and are educated?"
"Haha, her niece is tall, strong, dark-skinned, and has an upturned nose... She has never been to school, so it's strange that the soldier would be interested in her."
"Don't say that. Her parents want to trade their daughter for a third-rate gift to marry their son."
At this point, several people laughed, and their laughter was full of sarcasm.
However, they did not know that it was not only the rural families who exchanged their daughters for their sons' future dowry.
When Zhou Lanfang came back this time, she thought her family would be very happy to know that she had a partner.
But when they heard about Zhuang Xiaobai's family conditions, they all looked unhappy.
Her father said sullenly, "He's just a small soldier, not even a low-ranking officer. His monthly allowance is so little, and his family is from the countryside. How much do you think his family can give as a dowry? Can they afford a three-turn and one-ring?"
Zhou Lanfang looked stunned.
Her brother said angrily, "Lan Fang, your family paid for your education, and sent you so much money after you went to the countryside. Have you ever thought about how much money your parents have invested in you? Once you get married, you will become a member of your husband's family. Your parents can no longer count on you for support in their old age, nor can they count on you for money. Therefore, your wedding gift must be determined by your parents and given to them."
Her younger brother yelled, "That's right, I haven't even gotten married yet, and my parents gave you so much money, you should prepare the money for my wedding in the future."
Zhou Lanfang's ears were buzzing, and she subconsciously asked, "Then how much do you think I should get as a gift for my marriage?"
