Shen Chuanzong made a scene, “I just think that my sister-in-law and you are a good match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, it’s simply a match made in heaven.”
Lu Li was satisfied after being flattered by him. He coughed and said seriously, "You are good at talking. I will cook for you in a while. We can have dinner here. You have been here for several days but you didn't even come to visit. I even said that our friendship as brothers has faded. You want me to treat you? You are being too arrogant."
Shen Chuanzong felt embarrassed by what he said, so he took a small stool and sat down.
"I haven't had any free time during the winter. In the spring, I have to pick rice seedlings and plant beans. I have to carry the manure first. My back is hunched. It would be fine if you didn't say a few words of concern, but you are still here to criticize me?
If you are really bored, just go and carry manure for my house. It’s useless to wash it, you will smell like pig manure all over.
Cousin, please introduce me to a rich woman. I can’t survive a day in this country life.”
Lu Li had to ruthlessly break his fantasy, "You are just like a black pimple, and you still want to be a gigolo? A man must have capital, and that woman is rich, she is not stupid."
This hit Shen Chuandong hard, and Yang Gangtie said with a playful smile: "What about me? Do I have a chance?"
"You? I don't want to talk about it anymore. The fart was so loud that the woman thought it was thunder. Don't even think about that. Just find a stable life in the countryside."
Yang Gangtie's face was about to fall. Li Dashan walked in from outside the door and put down the basket in his hand.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, this is the chicken from my own farm. It's nothing special. I brought it to you to cook. Don't be disgusted by it!"
Nowadays, eggs are the source of meat for a family. People would not even think of eating them unless it is a festival.
There were more than ten or twenty left and sent over. It was obvious that Li Dashan valued Lu Li and Lu Xiao.
Miao Xiu said enthusiastically: "You are here, you kids are really polite. Are you all married?"
When I was in the brigade, I had a lot of things to do with the Lu brothers, including literary and military affairs. It was only after I moved to the city that we had less contact.
Chen Chuanzong was the happiest among them. He had many older sisters and his parents doted on him. But he didn't get married, which really surprised Miao Xiuying.
Chen Chuanzong spread his hands, looking hopeless, "It's not even the New Year yet, and I've already dated three people. I don't even dare to think about how those aunts and uncles will bombard me after the New Year.
I am only 22 years old. Do I have to get married? I don’t think I can take on the responsibility of taking care of a family. I can’t even support myself. Should I marry someone and let her starve to death with me? "
Auntie, when you have time, please tell me about my mother. I must have been born to the wrong mother. Why aren't you my mother? "
He looked miserable, and it was obvious that he had a mental breakdown due to the blind date.
Lu Li gloated, "I introduce you to her because I think highly of you. For example, no one in the village comes to visit me. Why? They think I'm lazy and that woman is more capable than me.
To put it bluntly, only if you have a wealthy family will matchmakers knock on your door, so don't be picky.
As long as someone is willing to live with you, that's the best. If you choose to be picky and then find someone who is married for the second time and has kids, I will laugh so hard that I will almost choke!"
These words pierced Shen Chuanzong's heart, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, "I think you have eaten too many poisonous mushrooms. I am still a virgin boy, why do you think so much and find a divorced woman with a baby?
Am I crazy? My parents will beat me to death with a stick, what the hell do you want to do? "
Lu Li couldn't help laughing. "What else are you afraid to say? You are not the type without your own opinion. You are in your twenties and it is time to start a family.
Don't wait until my kids are all over the place before you're still worrying about marriage! Believe me, you won't meet anyone better.
Those introduced to you will only get worse and worse. You can still pick a good one while you are still young."
This is the reality in rural areas, and Lu Li’s words are rough but his point is valid.
Shen Chuanzong sighed, not quite accepting his fate, "I still want to go out and see. When can I make a name for myself in this village? I still have to bring honor to my Shen family!
If you go back to the island, take me with you, and I will settle down there too."
Zhang Yulan glanced at him and said, "Don't. Your parents treat you like their own eyes. What will you let them do if you go to the island? When people get old, they want their children to stay by their side to show their filial piety.
Find someone nearby, and the two of you will be in love. Why worry that your life won't be prosperous? Don't listen to those people who make empty promises and say that you are not worthy of this or that.
This fate has come, and nothing can stop it. I like scholars, so I'll find an educated youth. I think Xiao Xia is quite suitable, but I'm afraid she doesn't have the heart to stay in the countryside. "
Shen Chuanzong rolled his eyes and took Zhang Yulan's hand, just like treating her as his own mother, "Aunt, you are close to the educated youth, please help me talk.
I also think Xia Zhiqing is a good person, and he seems to be devoted to building the motherland. I am so excited when I hear this.”
