Chapter 125: Refusing to be urged to get married
Du Yunkai was very satisfied with the old site of the village committee. After discussing with Xu Qingsong, he decided to rent it if nothing unexpected happened.
On the way back, they could pass the village committee by just a turn, but it was possible that everyone had already been off work at this time. So, with the mentality of giving it a try, Tao's father and mother still took them to have a look.
Fortunately, there was a young man still in the office, packing up his things, and it seemed that he was planning to leave as well.
Dad Tao knocked on the open door: "Xiao Wang."
The man turned around, smiling naturally, and looked very approachable. He immediately came forward and said, "Uncle Guoren, Aunt Yuehua, why are you here? Is there something going on?"
Dad Tao first introduced Du Yunkai and the others: "This is a member of our village committee, Wang Junpeng."
Then everyone sat down inside and Dad Tao explained the purpose of their visit.
After listening to this, Wang Junpeng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, aunt, you two elders also know that this is not something I can decide. How about this, when the director comes tomorrow, I will ask for you, okay?"
"Okay." Tao's father said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It should be."
Everyone thanked Wang Junpeng. Before leaving, Tao's mother said, "Xiao Wang, Huayu's brother-in-law is frying small crucian carp at home. Aren't you about to get off work? Let's go to Auntie's house for dinner."
"Let's go, we can have a drink together." Dad Tao said as he was about to pull Wang Junpeng's arm.
Wang Junpeng held Tao's father's hand and said, "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt. I really can't go. I still have a report to write. I will go back after I finish cleaning up here. I can't delay."
When Tao's parents heard that he was busy with work, they stopped inviting him and said that he must go next time when he was free.
Everyone walked back, and Tao's mother kept talking about how great Wang Junpeng was: "He was transferred here two years ago, and he's still a graduate student, and he doesn't put on airs at all.
If anyone in the village had problems, he would come to him and help them solve them. He had never been seen in a bad mood. The children had a good relationship with him and he would give them extra lessons in his spare time, without charging a penny.
Tao's father also thinks so, but he said: "Talents trained by the country contribute to the construction of the country."
Tao's mother hated the way he put everything at a premium: "What country? We are just a small village!"
"That's also part of the country." Dad Tao thought he was right.
Tao Ma was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so she turned to talking about Wang Junpeng: "Such a good young man, but he didn't get married. What a pity. Not only in our village, but also in the surrounding areas, many beautiful girls have their eyes on him and asked people to be matchmakers for him, but he refused to even meet them and rejected them all."
"Look," Tao's father said to Xu Qingsong and the others, "this woman thinks about these things all the time. Xiao Wang is not from our hometown. With his ability and work attitude, I think it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted. There will be plenty of good girls by then. Is it necessary to be anxious now?"
Tao's mother rolled her eyes at him, changed the subject, and asked Xu Qingsong: "Qingsong, I asked you to help persuade Huayu last time, how is it going? Is he willing to go on a blind date?"
Xu Qingsong didn't try to persuade him, he just mentioned it that day. He thought, I'm sorry, my friend, you have to take responsibility for your own affairs.
He pretended to be distressed and said, "I did persuade him, aunt, but you know him. He won't listen to advice and gets angry when it comes."
Tao's mother got angry just thinking about it: "I asked many people to help me, and they all followed the mate selection criteria he told me. He found the person, but he said he didn't want to see her anymore. It turns out that he was just trying to evade me before!"
No one interrupted, and let Tao Ma talk for a while. Especially the three people who were not married and had no partners, they were afraid that the anger would spread to them.
Although Jin Zhaofei really wants to fall in love and has a gentle and considerate girlfriend, the pressure to get married is really scary.
As expected, what you fear will come true. After scolding Tao Huayu, Tao's mother looked at Xu Qingsong and the other two and said, "Oh, by the way, you three are all single, right?"
The three of them didn't want to respond and just laughed awkwardly.
Tao's mother is familiar with Xu Qingsong, and he is also a child she has watched grow up: "Qingsong, why don't you go and meet him? Auntie tells you, where is that girl..."
"That's enough," Tao's father interrupted her, "The children don't like to hear this. You've said so much, and before your own son has finished talking, you've already started talking about others."
Just as Tao's mother was about to say something else, she arrived at the door of her house. Her sister was standing at the door and called out, "I was just about to look for you. The fish is fried and the soup is ready. I'm waiting for you to come back so Xiangrong can cook fish noodle soup."
Xu Qingsong and the other two stood at the door and did not follow in: "Uncle, aunt, we will go back first. I will bother you to accompany me to the village committee tomorrow."
"Why are you leaving?" Tao's father and mother came over and pulled them in. "I told you to have dinner at home."
At this time, my brother-in-law also came out and pulled the three of them in: "I've already prepared your portions, let's eat together, why are you being so polite."
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, the three of them had dinner at Tao Huayu's home.
Before leaving, Tao's mother packed some fried crucian carps for them and said, "Keep this bag for yourself, and I'll send this bag to Xuxu."
My sister also asked Xu Qingsong about Liu Wangxue. She hadn’t seen him since the last time and she missed the cat very much. She heard from Tao Huayu that he had raised a little parrot.
Xu Qingsong replied: "She has been very busy recently. She is the screenwriter for our PC game, and the work is quite tedious and complicated."
"I was thinking of going over to visit her these two days, but forget it. I'll go when she's not busy," said my sister.
After saying goodbye, the three of them rode their electric bikes back home, and Xu Qingsong was about to send fried crucian carp to Liu Wangxue. He sent a message, but received no reply.
Du Yunkai also wanted to follow: "I just ate a little too much, I want to drink a cup of fruit tea to smooth over the meal."
Drink tea? Jin Zhaofei followed suit immediately. He liked it after drinking it once yesterday. If there is a benefit, then he will definitely take it.
In the end, they only saw Gu Xuelan, who said, "Xuxu is busy. She needs to research a few places in your script. She has been reading materials all day. I brought her dinner."
Du Yunkai wisely didn't mention drinking tea again, which made Jin Zhaofei feel regretful.
Xu Qingsong handed the bag to Gu Xuelan: "Wild small crucian carp from the river, freshly fried. Aunt Yuehua asked me to bring you some, saying that it's also delicious when fried in sweet and sour sauce."
Xu Qingsong thought that Gu Xuelan might not know who "Aunt Yuehua" was, so he explained: "Aunt Yuehua is Tao Huayu's mother."
As they were talking, Liu Wangxue came out holding Xiaoci. They had been reading information for a whole day and felt a little overwhelmed, so they came out to give their brain a rest.
Just happened to hear what they said, do you need three people to deliver a fish? Liu Wangxue smiled and asked, "Would you like some tea, all of you?"
