"Then... Godfather, what do you suggest we do about this?"
Wang Zhenhua, who was standing to the side, also asked, saying that this was a big family matter and naturally the godfather should make the decision.
After thinking for a moment, Old Master Yu addressed the crowd,
“Sanpang’s father is gone, so we should talk to Dazhuang about this. I’ll talk to Dazhuang in a bit and see if he’s interested. If he is, we can get married during the New Year. Maybe I’ll have another grandson next year.”
Wang Ling blushed with embarrassment upon hearing what was being said outside, but it was her own choice, and she genuinely liked Li Sanpang.
So she didn't say anything, and just listened to the conversation outside from inside the room.
The old man walked to Wang Ling's door, knocked, and said to Wang Ling inside,
"Daughter, I'm going to talk to Uncle Dazhuang. What's your opinion? Tell me, your old man can't just make decisions for you on his own."
After all, this matter should be discussed with the parties involved, and arranged marriages are no longer practiced.
Wang Ling stammered, unable to speak, and finally, in desperation, said...
"Then it's entirely up to you, Godfather!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room burst into laughter, clearly indicating that Wang Ling was interested in the other person.
Without saying a word, the old man walked outside, and Wei Mo, who loved to join in the fun, naturally followed closely behind.
The grandfather and grandson walked towards the brigade leader's house. Wei Mo spoke up.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, this is good too. This way, Aunt Wang Ling can stay in the village forever."
The old man had also thought of this, and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, okay, so let's go see what your Uncle Dazhuang thinks first, and then ask your Uncle Sanpang."
Wei Mo nodded in agreement. The two of them walked to Li Dazhuang's door. After all, it was almost Chinese New Year, and Li Dazhuang wasn't always at the brigade headquarters. He was at home preparing for the New Year.
Upon seeing the grandfather and grandson enter, Li Dazhuang quickly went to greet them.
"Uncle Yu, Xiao Weimo, what brings you here? Come in, come in and have a seat."
Li Dazhuang welcomed Wei Mo and Old Master Yu into the house and sat them on the kang (a heated brick bed). However, the house was clearly not as warm as Wei Mo's home, which was to be expected.
The old man seemed to be thinking about how to start the conversation, when Wei Mo, who was standing to the side, asked directly.
"Uncle Dazhuang, does my Uncle Sanpang have a wife?"
Wei Mo is, after all, just a child, so it's not abrupt for him to ask these questions. Let him be the one to ask.
Li Dazhuang patted Wei Mo's head, sighed, and then spoke to Wei Mo.
"Oh dear! Don't even mention it, it's driving me crazy! I've introduced him to so many girls, but he hasn't liked a single one. It's really worrying me!"
After all, the eldest brother is like a father. Now that Li Dazhuang's parents have passed away, it should be Li Dazhuang's decision regarding his third brother's marriage.
Upon hearing this, Wei Mo's eyes lit up, and he spoke to Li Dazhuang.
"Where is Third Uncle now?"
The old man watched Wei Mo talking to himself, but he wasn't in a hurry to speak. He thought it best to let Wei Mo ask the questions first, to avoid any awkwardness later.
Li Dazhuang didn't understand why Wei Mo wanted to see his third brother. He quickly spoke up,
"Do you need to see him? Should I go get him?"
Wei Mo nodded and said to the captain.
"Okay, Dazhuang said, how about I go with you!"
Li Dazhuang quickly waved his hand, stood up, and prepared to call his third brother.
"No need, no need, you don't need to come with me. You all wait inside. It's freezing outside. I'll call him right away."
As Li Dazhuang left, Xu Meijuan brought out a plate of peanuts and melon seeds. After all, the New Year was approaching, and everyone should have some on hand in case guests came.
If there's anyone in the whole village who's the most respected, it's undoubtedly the old man, so Xu Meijuan brought out a lot of melon seeds and peanuts.
"Grandpa, Xiao Weimo, please eat, don't be shy!"
The family had plenty of these things. The old man and Wei Mo each grabbed a small handful, while Wei Mo looked at Li Fu, who was standing next to him with longing eyes.
He gave him all the peanuts, and Li Fu, standing to the side, grinned foolishly.
"Thank you, Brother Wei Mo!"
Although life is much better now and we can afford to buy some New Year's goods, we still can't bear to eat them.
In the end, it could only be used to entertain guests. When Wei Mo was given to Li Fu, Li Fu was overjoyed.
Not long after, Li Dazhuang came in with his third brother. When Li Sanpang saw the old man and Xiao Weimo, he quickly greeted them.
"Hello Uncle Yu, and Xiao Wei Mo, you're here too."
Li Sanpang looked quite handsome and was particularly burly, clearly possessing considerable strength.
When Grandpa Yu saw Li Sanpang, he nodded and then glanced at Wei Mo, seemingly inviting his grandson to speak.
Wei Mo thought for a moment and then said to Li Sanpang, who had already sat down to the side.
"Uncle Sanpang, have you ever thought about settling down?"
The question came as abruptly, and Li Sanpang was clearly taken aback. He scratched his head and said,
"I do want to, but I just haven't met the right person yet."
The captain's eyes lit up when he heard this. But why did Wei Mo ask that? The captain looked at Wei Mo in confusion; this wasn't something a child should be asking.
Wei Moke ignored all that and continued to ask Li Sanpang directly.
"Uncle Sanpang, what kind of person are you looking for? I can give you some ideas."
"You know, everyone calls me a little prodigy, I'm so smart!"
Wei Mo's words sounded somewhat boastful, but they were indeed true.
Li Sanpang scratched his head, showing no regard for Wei Mo as a child, and then spoke to him.
"A virtuous woman who can do some housework is fine; looks don't really matter. I'm just worried about marital discord."
Hearing this, the old man laughed even more heartily. Wei Mo stopped talking and waited for the old man to speak. The old man smiled and said to Li Dazhuang.
"Dazhuang, don't you think my daughters are all pretty good?"
The old man didn't directly name the person, but the captain's eyes lit up. It was obvious that the old man might want to marry his daughter to his younger brother, who was incredibly lucky!
"Of course, old man, your daughters are absolutely top-notch, wouldn't you say, third brother?"
Li Sanpang nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes. Those educated youth, and Sister Wang, they were all outstanding in the whole village."
As if he had thought of something, Li Sanpang began to stutter a little.
Wei Mo chimed in from the side.
“My maternal grandparents were very sad when my Aunt Yu Juan passed away. They thought it would be good if my aunts could marry into the village.”
“But my grandma said that my Aunt Manman only thinks about food all day long and doesn’t think about anything else. However, when she talked about my Aunt Wang Ling, it seemed that my Aunt Wang Ling had the same idea.”
"Uncle Sanpang, what is marriage? Is it having a baby?"
Wei Mo then spoke in a childlike tone, which was quite amusing.
"Yeah, it's just two, two people, yeah."
Li Sanpang was stammering and didn't know what to say. Li Dazhuang interrupted him.
"Yes, marriage is about two people living together, and then having a baby."
