Chapter 162: Bird's Mouth Snatching Food
"Comrade Xu, we are really not suitable."
Ernengzi saw that Xu Huiping was looking at him with a hint of fanaticism in her eyes. He was scared and wanted to run away.
"Comrade Chang, I have a job. Although it's a temporary one, I can still save money every month. I can also take care of the housework after get off work. From now on, you can take care of the outside affairs and I will take care of the inside affairs."
When Xu Huiping said the last sentence, her voice became small again, which made Ernengzi feel uncomfortable.
"You're so tired from work, do you still have to take care of the household affairs by yourself?"
"My mother is in poor health, and men don't have time to do these things, so I have to do it."
When Ernengzi heard the previous sentence, he somehow thought of his former neighbors, the mother and daughter of the Jia family.
"Comrade Xu, as a female comrade, all the housework is thrown to you. You work during the day and then have to work at night. Aren't you tired?"
Ernengzi also helps with housework on weekdays, such as helping his mother with work. He also helped with housework when his father was around.
Not to mention anything else, all the old men and boys in their compound have to help with housework at home, and someone as lazy as Uncle Wu is no exception.
Xu Huiping thought the person opposite her was moved by her hard work and simplicity, so she scratched her fingers hesitantly and continued speaking.
"I'm not tired. It's not easy for my parents to raise me. My brother, sister-in-law, and children are all busy. How can I be so ignorant? If I do more, won't it make their lives easier?"
Ernengzi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But looking at the expression of the person opposite him, he still took a piece of lotus cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
If he was an adulterer, he would have immediately taken someone to get a marriage certificate. If he had married a capable wife, he could have stayed at home and just been the boss.
Unfortunately, he is not that kind of person. Through communicating with her, it is obvious that they have different ideas.
From then on, either she was unhappy or he was uncomfortable.
Why bother?
"Comrade Xu, you may have heard that I don't have any special abilities. I just want to live a happy life."
"We are really not suitable for each other. A forced melon is not sweet. I hope you can find a better partner in the future."
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want to say. You might think I'm meddling in other people's business, but I still want to say that no matter how capable a woman is, she should still think more about herself."
Xu Huiping's face turned pale. After hearing the last sentence, she didn't feel like stopping the other person. She took a sip of the scented tea, which tasted bitter to her heart.
After saying this, Ernengzi walked away leisurely, and he had to go home to report to his mother.
I messed up again. I hope Comrade Qiaofeng won’t be too angry.
Before leaving, I took a curious look at the situation next door. The woman was laughing so happily, and the man looked decent. I guess they are going to work out.
After he left, he thought about it and went to the grocery store to buy a pound of meat to take back, hoping that his mother would stop nagging him for the sake of the meat.
…
Jin Qiaofeng just went to Old Xia's house and told Yang Shujuan about Xia Yue and Zhou Zhiwen.
"Shujuan, I'm telling you the truth. I've checked out all the guys in this area."
"He's a young man with a small family and few worries. He's lazy and doesn't even have a job. I wouldn't even dare to ask him to introduce me to Xiaoyue."
"Your old Xia accepted Zhiwen as his apprentice, don't you have any thoughts?"
"Zhiwen, that kid, grew up under my watch. He's a college student and now works in a factory. He looks a bit fierce, but he's honest and kind. He's a perfect match for Xiaoyue."
"Old Zhou is still an eighth-level worker. You know what kind of person Zhang Dazui is. He's very straightforward and always speaks his mind. Although he likes to watch the fun, he's not the kind of person who would torture his daughter-in-law."
Jin Qiaofeng's words were truly from the heart. She was telling the truth. They were all from the same compound, and if she lied again, anyone with a discerning eye would see through it at a glance.
"I also know that Zhiwen is a very good guy, but it all depends on Xiaoyue's opinion. What's the point of just me being satisfied? After all, I'm not the one getting married."
Yang Shujuan knew the Zhou family's character well. She had been in the compound for half a year and could tell clearly whether they were human or ghosts.
"Isn't it? I'm just a matchmaker. How we deal with it depends on what the children want."
Jin Qiaofeng looked at the hesitation on Yang Shujuan's face, thought for a moment and said.
"Shujuan, have you heard about what happened to the Zhou family's eldest son? I'm a little worried."
"I've also heard about the Zhou family's eldest son's story. I..."
Before Yang Shujuan could finish her words, Jin Qiaofeng grabbed her hand.
"Shujuan, you can't believe the nonsense people say. It's all sour."
"Zhixi's affairs won't affect Xiaoyue. Don't worry, Zhixi and his wife have responded to the call and gone to the Northwest to plant trees."
"They applied for it on their own initiative. They weren't criticized and sent to labor camps. The nature of the situation is different."
"And I heard from Zhang Dazui that many people who were forced to plant trees have been rehabilitated. The sun is about to rise."
"Qiaofeng, I know you're speaking for Xiaoyue sincerely. When Xiaoyue comes back, I'll ask her what she thinks. If it works out, I'll have to trouble you to make a few more trips to take care of the rest."
Yang Shujuan's expression relaxed a lot. When Jin Qiaofeng heard this, she knew it was almost done and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, if that's okay, just let me know and I'll arrange for the two young men to meet. Then you two families can sit together and discuss bigger things."
When Jin Qiaofeng thought about the big red envelope she would receive after her success, her steps on the way home became much lighter.
Nowadays, when going on a blind date, you need to find a middleman to arrange it. After the blind date is successful, the middleman will give you a big red envelope, some of which is money and some of which are things. In any case, you can make some money.
Of course, she earned all her money with a clear conscience. She has lost all the fat on her belly doing this over the years.
Jin Qiaofeng was in a good mood. When she returned home, she happened to see Ernengzi strolling home with meat wrapped in oil paper.
"You kid, you bought meat again today, and that little money is not enough for you to build it."
She took the meat to the kitchen, feeling both angry and happy, and gave Ernengzi a cold look.
"Mom, I brought this back specially to honor you."
Ernengzi still had a piece of biscuit in his mouth. He had drunk enough water this morning and was craving meat when he came back.
"I don't know you yet. By the way, how was your appointment this morning?"
When Jin Qiaofeng saw the meat, she almost forgot the most important thing. She only remembered it when she saw Zhao Jingxiang coming back.
Er Nengzi said with a playful smile: "What else can I do? It's just like that."
"What do you mean by just like that? Did you mess me up again, you little bastard? Can't you see that I don't..."
As soon as Lin Xiaotong stepped into the front yard, she saw Jin Qiaofeng chasing Ernengzi and beating him, muttering to herself.
"Mom, be gentle, it hurts, I'm wrong, I'll explain it to you."
Ernengzi's mother twisted his ears and he begged for mercy.
He just has a bad mouth. I should have known not to get into trouble.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sparrow attracted by the meat placed by the pool, and cried out in surprise. The most urgent thing was to save the meat first.
"Mom, our meat has been eaten by sparrows, look!"
"What? My flesh! I'll deal with you later."
Jin Qiaofeng howled, let go of her hand, and pounced towards the sparrow.
