Brother Xu's face suddenly tightened, and he felt inferior. He smiled pretentiously and said, "That's good!"

"What? I think this family is well off." Brother Xu said, suppressing his inferiority complex.

Qiu Ye shook his head: "But I don't like him!"

Brother Xu was stunned for a moment, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Who do you like then?"

Qiu Ye said nothing, but stared at Brother Xu.

Brother Xu also looked at Qiu Ye, his palms were full of sweat, and he was more afraid in his heart: "Why don't you speak?"

Qiu Ye glared at Brother Xu, handed him a note, then ran away quickly pushing his bicycle.

"Qiuye, you haven't said it yet!" Brother Xu was so anxious. He liked Qiuye but he had no delusion of marrying her.

He has some selfish reasons for not getting married. He thinks that if Qiu Ye never gets married, she might end up being an old maid.

When no one wants to marry her, he will go and propose marriage.

But now when he heard someone matchmaking for Qiu Ye, he felt a sense of loss instantly surged in his heart. He had originally wanted to ask Qiu Ye who she liked so that he could make a careful comparison.

But Qiu Ye ran away without saying anything, which made Brother Xu even more panicked.

Xu Ying came over with Shitou and Huzi. Seeing her second brother’s lost expression, she felt a little strange: “Second brother, is Sister Qiuye gone?

What did she ask you to do? "Did she guess wrong? Did Sister Qiuye dislike her second brother at all? Second Brother Xu nodded listlessly: "Let's go, Qiuye said someone arranged a marriage for her."

Xu Ying's expression suddenly became strange: "She came to you to talk about this? What else?"

"She said she didn't like that guy. I asked her who she liked but she refused to tell me. Then she left me this and left." Brother Xu's eyes were full of sadness and he looked listless.

Xu Ying was speechless. She wanted to curse. Could her second brother be a straight man? He kept asking people who they liked! Needless to say, Xu Ying was sure that Sister Qiu Ye must like her second brother, otherwise she wouldn't have said such things from such a distance.

She stretched out her hand towards Brother Xu: "Brother, if you don't dare to look, I will show you."

Brother Xu immediately shook his head. This was not possible. This was a letter written to him by Qiu Ye and it must not be read by others.

Even if she is my own sister, that won’t work.

Xu Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Then you should take a quick look. Does Sister Qiuye have something urgent to tell you but is too embarrassed to say it directly?

If you don't want to see it, then show it to me, and hurry up."

When Brother Xu heard this, he immediately disagreed and opened the note directly. When he saw the big words, he jumped up excitedly.

"Qiuye, Qiuye, little sister, I need to take a day off tomorrow. I want to go find Qiuye."

Xu Ying was a little curious about what was written on the note, but seeing how silly his second brother was and how he was smiling as if he had eaten honey, it must be a good thing.

"Uncle, what did Aunt Qiuye write?"

Shitou tilted his head with some curiosity.

Brother Xu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I can't talk about this. I can't ask about this as a kid. I'm going back first."

After saying this, Brother Xu ran back home.

Xu Ying took Shitou and Huzi back home.

I don’t know what Brother Xu said to Father Xu the next day, but Father Xu directly agreed to let him take leave.

You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to see if you can buy a bicycle. This will make it more convenient for us to go to the town in the future.

Take this cloth coupon and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fabric. When you come back, I will make you a new dress."

The clothes that Second Brother Xu wears are what's left over from First Brother Xu, and First Brother Xu's clothes are what's left over from Father Xu.

The clothes became more and more torn as time went by. Second Brother Xu was taller than First Brother Xu, so half of the clothes were missing from his body, which looked very funny.

However, Brother Xu Er never complained, as he knew exactly what life was like at home.

Brother Xu took the money and ticket and went out happily.

When Xu's mother heard that her second son wanted to ask for leave, she was absolutely against it and hit him with the toe of her shoe.

But when Brother Xu said that he was going to look for Qiu Ye, Mother Xu's expression changed immediately, and she took out money and gave it to Brother Xu with a smile on her face: "Second brother, don't be reluctant to spend money on Qiu Ye when you go.

Take this money and treat her to a meal. Chasing a girl requires skills, and you have to be willing to spend money to please her."

Brother Xu rubbed his head that was hit, and sighed in his heart that his old mother changed her expression so quickly.

"Mom, I understand. I'll leave first."

Mother Xu smiled as she watched Second Brother Xu leave. Then she returned to the house with a smile and said to the man with a smug look: "Jianguo, do you think our second son can marry Xu Renguo's daughter?"

Xu Jianguo laughed dryly, and the smile on his face was a little involved: "Our second son is not bad, but we can't compare with Ren's family."

Xu Renguo works as an accountant in the textile factory in the town. His wife is also a worker in the textile factory. Qiuye still works in the supply and marketing cooperative. Their family is just farmers who work in the fields.

How could he marry Xu Renguo? Xu's mother didn't think so. Her eldest son was capable and married the daughter of a worker in the county town. Her second son was not bad either. He would definitely be able to do it.

Xu Ying looked at Father Xu with a smile: "Dad, I think my second brother can really make it."

When she said it could be done, she didn't mean that it would be done just because Sister Qiuye liked her second brother, but that she had a way.

Father Xu was somewhat surprised when he heard his daughter's words: "How can it be possible? Your second brother doesn't even have a job. It's impossible."

"What if my second brother has a job?" Xu Ying asked back.

Father Xu laughed and said, "My daughter, this job is not something you can find just by looking at it. If it were so easy to find, why do so many people who don't have a job still work in the fields!"

Xu Ying wasn't kidding. She walked up to Xu's father and said, "Dad, I heard that our commune is recruiting elementary school teachers. I think my second brother can go."

Her second brother didn't go to high school, not because he failed the entrance exam, but because her cousin had a car accident and needed money urgently.

My second brother didn't want to add burden to the family, so he dropped out of school.

He may not be able to teach well in junior high school, but there will definitely be no problem teaching Brother Xu in elementary school.

Father Xu was stunned: "Who told you this?"

The team did talk about this, but it hasn't been confirmed yet and he hasn't told anyone. How did this girl know about this?

Xu Ying smiled at Xu's father sheepishly: "I learned this from eavesdropping on your conversation with several leaders of the commune last time."

It’s not that she wanted to say it, but if she didn’t say it, given her father’s personality, he wouldn’t consider the family at all.
