Li Qingmei was really curious. "Tell me about her. What kind of girl is she? I won't try to climb up the social ladder. I'm telling you, her family must be clean..."
"Mom, I've already told you, it's nothing. You're just following my little sister and making trouble."
"How can this be called a commotion? You're already twenty this year, it's time to talk about a wife. Your second brother's situation is special. Mother even asked the matchmaker to show her a photo of him and your sister a few days ago. Next time he comes back, I'll force him to get married..."
Qiu Yuling stopped chewing on her sand date bun and said, "No? Mom, why did you take my photo when you were going to see my second brother?"
"Then he doesn't have any other photos. Next time you come back, let's take a family photo together. I'm always worried that your second brother will die outside. I hope you can find him a wife and leave him with descendants..."
The building is crooked, and Qiu Dashu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, brought up the question of calling her mother again.
Qiu Yuling's sand date steamed bun was no longer fragrant. "Pfft, ptt, ptt, ptt, my second brother might be on his way back, don't be such a pessimist."
Li Qingmei immediately followed with a "Pooh, pooh, pooh".
Qiu Yuling advised her mother, "My second brother isn't here, why are you telling his fortune? You should at least wait until he's here, right? Besides, he was just a child in that photo. He looks so handsome now."
"That's right, mother. When second brother comes back next time, you will take care of his face." Qiu Dashu read the letter quickly and put it away when his mother and younger sister were not paying attention. Only then did he have the energy to join in the fun.
"That's between me and your second brother. You tell me your story first." When she wasn't noticing, this kid definitely had something fishy going on.
"I'll wait until my second brother gets married. How can a younger brother go before his older brother?"
"This kind of thing happens everywhere. Everyone has their own destiny. As for your second brother's matter, no one will argue with him no matter how hard you try. If we really talk about who comes first, who knows how long it will take you..."
Unable to dissuade his own mother, Qiu Dashu had to tell her that the letter was indeed sent by a female classmate. Although the meaning was implicit, it did mean that they would become revolutionary partners. "But mother, there is really nothing between her and me. I didn't even talk to her at that time. I can't even remember who she is."
"If you really don't have one, tell them clearly and tell them that your family has already found a wife."
"Ah? What was agreed upon? Who was agreed upon?" Qiu Dashu sensitively felt that his mother's firm tone was not an excuse, but seemed to be true.
"Captain Liquan, Wang Jinbao's daughter."
Qiu Yuling was shaking her legs and hadn't realized who her mother was talking about.
"Ah? It's her?" Qiu Dashu's face turned visibly red.
Qiu Yuling stopped shaking and looked at her mother, then at her brother. "Who are you two talking about?"
"Wang Aihong." Li Qingmei's words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, leaving Qiu Yuling burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Mom, what do you think?" Does her mother think her life is too dull?
No, her third brother’s reaction wasn’t right either?
When talking about the female classmate just now, he retorted with a red face. Now that her mother made such a big explosion, he was just shy, like a grown-up girl, and didn't show any other reaction.
Li Qingmei looked at the situation and understood everything, "Her father asked your uncle Jianjun to come over and speak for her. I'm just passing on the message first. I won't force it whether it succeeds or not.
If you don't have any objections, I'll arrange it for you. We can't ask the woman to take the initiative. If you have other opinions, I'll go and reply. Anyway, it's still a matter of the past..."
"Then I'm ahead of my second brother, is that really okay?"
Seeing her son hesitating for a long time, Li Qingmei understood. "Okay, then I know. I'll reply to them tomorrow and arrange the marriage while you're on vacation."
Qiu Yuling was still immersed in the shock of Wang Aihong becoming her sister-in-law and had not yet recovered. On the other hand, Li Qingmei had almost figured out the specific rules.
"There's no rush. She's younger than you. Let's talk it over first and settle it down. You can focus on your work and don't get involved in the gossip at your factory. It'll be appropriate to get married in a year or two."
Qiu Dashu really went to the back to feed the donkey. Qiu Yuling followed Li Qingmei around and said, "Mom, my third brother is very popular now. Why did you decide to go to the Wang family?"
After removing the firewood from the stove, leaving only the ashes to warm the pot, Li Qingmei buried a few potatoes in the ashes. "They know everything about us, the Wang family has a good background, and they are a big family here, so they have some influence.
That girl is simple-minded and kind-hearted, making her a perfect match for your third brother. As for the other one, she is involved in a scandal. I am afraid that your third brother will be easily influenced and let someone with a bad background get involved with her, and then our whole family will be in trouble.
It would be better to plant the seeds in him while he is not in love with her, so that he won’t make random promises in the future…”
Qiu Yuling: ...My dear mother, you are so wise!
Especially looking at her third brother's shy face, it shows that her mother is still in love with him. I just don't know when her third brother fell in love with someone?
Qiu Yuling went to the backyard and saw her third brother lingering in front of the donkey pen. She tiptoed over, intending to give him a scare.
As a result, Qiu Dashu turned around suddenly and let out a "Wow", but she was frightened to the point of almost losing her soul.
After the fun, Qiu Yuling asked Qiu Dashu, "Third brother, are you trying to reassure mother, or are you also attracted to that person?"
"None of this matters. What matters is that she is the most suitable person. She can attack or defend." After saying that, he looked at Qiu Yuling's stunned face and hit her on the forehead.
"I'm your wife now, so don't criticize me again!!!" After resisting, Qiu Yuling seemed to get to know her third brother all over again.
There is no truly simple person in this family. They are all kind but a little calculating. Fortunately, they all treat me as family and never think too much. Otherwise, I would not be able to live such a comfortable life.
Qiu Jianshe arrived late and brought his cousin Qiu Jianjun with him.
The brother and sister both stood up and greeted their uncle who had always been very caring towards their family.
"Our Yuling and Dashu are both promising children. The old saying that a child's future can be seen by the age of three really rings true."
He recalled Qiu Yuling and Qiu Dashu's childhood "abilities" as if he was recalling his own children.
"Uncle, stop talking. How could that be me?" Qiu Yuling was fine. Apart from occasionally showing off her wits, she didn't make any big fuss.
Qiu Dashu is different. He actually had a three-year-old childhood and can list a lot of good and bad things about it.
Seeing his nephew was really embarrassed, Qiu Jianjun stopped laughing and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, I won't mention it anymore. You are about to get married soon. I won't mention these things anymore. Haha."
