At this time, Aunt Zheng took Zheng Erya to work, and only Zheng Sanya and Zheng Jinbao were at home.
When Zheng Sanya saw Daya being scolded, she didn't dare to say a word. She hid far away in the corner of the yard and didn't dare to show her head, for fear that Accountant Zheng would transfer his anger to her.
But Zheng Jinbao had no such concerns. When he heard Accountant Zheng mention Shi Yan, he immediately shouted:
"Dad, I heard from my friends that there are a lot of delicious foods there, such as White Rabbit candy and canned meat!"
"If Shi Zhiqing becomes my brother-in-law, then all of his delicious food will be mine, right?"
Accountant Zheng always responds to his beloved son's requests.
"Of course."
Then he looked at Zheng Daya again.
"Look, your brother, even at such a young age, understands this principle. How come you don't understand it?"
Zheng Daya pursed her lips in shame and anger.
"Dad, this isn't my fault. Shi Zhiqing is really hard to approach. I kept trying to find topics to talk to him yesterday, but he just ignored me. There was nothing I could do."
Jin Bao didn't care how difficult it was to approach him. As soon as he got a positive answer from Accountant Zheng, he started to make a fuss.
"I don't care. Big sister, you must let Shi Zhiqing become my brother-in-law. That way I can have a lot of delicious food."
"And I can show it off to others. My friends in the village will definitely envy me."
"Last time, Lin Ye ate White Rabbit candy and came to show off to us, but Xiao Cao and the others went to play with Lin Ye and ignored me."
"I hate Lin Ye so much! I want White Rabbit candy too! That way I can stop everyone from playing with Lin Ye."
Accountant Zheng was so heartbroken when he saw this that he quickly picked up Jinbao and coaxed him gently.
"Don't worry, Jinbao. Dad will definitely find a way to get Jinbao to eat White Rabbit candy. Then all the children in the village will see that our Jinbao is the happiest child in the team, okay?"
After coaxing Jinbao, Accountant Zheng continued to give Zheng Daya advice.
"Shi Yan is a high school student. If you're going to talk about something interesting, try to find something interesting. Don't make fun of him with your elementary school-level questions. How can he possibly be interested in you?"
"Also, you can occasionally mention to him that our brigade has places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. It's related to returning to the city. I don't believe he won't be interested. I believe he will know what to do when the time comes."
"Dad, is this true? Does our brigade really have places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Zheng Daya looked curious. Although she had only attended elementary school, she had a natural admiration for college students.
"Of course it's true, but the commune has a quota. Our brigade has always been at the bottom of all the brigades under Changxi Commune. Do you think this quota could fall on our brigade?"
Zheng Daya frowned when she heard this.
"Then isn't this deceiving Shi Zhiqing? If he finds out I lied to him, won't he be even less fond of me?"
Accountant Zheng, however, looked disapproving.
"Why don't you settle the relationship before he knows? It would be better to get the marriage certificate right away."
Zheng Daya was a little hesitant. Isn’t this a marriage scam?
Accountant Zheng also noticed her hesitation and said directly:
"If you don't want to, then find someone else who can afford the betrothal gift."
"In fact, I wish you could talk to Qin Lao Er. Maybe then I can get you a temporary job in the textile factory."
"When your brother is older, he can go in with us. Then our whole family can go into the city, right?"
Seeing her father's face full of longing, Zheng Daya didn't want to pour cold water on him and make it seem like she didn't want to marry Qin Laoer. She also wanted to go to the city and live a good life.
But Qin Lao Er and Shi Yan were of the same character and ignored him completely.
Moreover, she seriously suspected that Qin Laoer was holding a grudge against her for snatching his roasted sweet potatoes when they were children. But wasn't that because he was young and ignorant? Why was this guy so vindictive?
Suddenly, an idea came to her.
"Dad, since Qin Lao Er's explanation doesn't make sense, can we follow Aunt Qin's approach?"
"Second Qin is so filial. If Aunt Qin agrees, he shouldn't object, right?"
Accountant Zheng, however, was not so optimistic.
"The Qin family's old couple are more realistic. Ever since their two sons went to the city to work as workers, they have been eager to see people from above. With their current situation, they definitely want to marry a city wife."
Accountant Zheng paused and rolled his eyes when he said this.
"However, Qin Lao Er has never been taken seriously at home. If someone were to talk him over, perhaps the Qin family would no longer want him to marry a city girl. Then, it would be easier to arrange a marriage."
Zheng Daya immediately burst into smiles when she heard that.
"Really? Dad, then go and tell him."
If it worked, she could follow him into the city.
"Why are you so anxious? We haven't even started yet. You should keep Shi Yan hanging. This way, you can prepare for both situations. Even if Qin Lao Er fails, we can still catch Shi Yan, so we won't lose out."
Zheng Daya's face turned bitter when she thought of Shi Yan's cold face yesterday. If that face wasn't really handsome, she really wouldn't be willing to try to please him.
But she also knew that she had no other choice. After looking around the area, she found that there were only a handful of good-looking gay men.
…
"A-choo, A-choo..."
In the peanut field, Shi Yan didn't know what was going on and kept sneezing.
After finally stopping, he finally raised his head.
As soon as he looked up, his eyes met with Lin Ran who was walking over here.
Thinking that Lin Ran had seen his embarrassing behavior just now, Shi Yanjun blushed slightly. He looked at Lin Ran and opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Lin Ran was not aware of Shi Yan's embarrassment. She happened to be patrolling here and saw Shi Yan sneezing continuously. Seeing that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, she thought he wanted to borrow a handkerchief.
