Aunt Zhao did have something going on, but it was a good thing.
She saw at the edge of the field that the father and son of the Hua family were working on the field nearby.
She had to talk to Hua Yuanyuan about what she wanted to say, and it would be inappropriate to talk to Hua Youcai.
"Aunt, what's the matter?"
Aunt Zhao thought to herself, they are really a family. They speak so directly and wouldn't even say a few words unless there is something going on.
"Something good is going on."
Hua Yuanyuan held the bucket in one hand and the ladle in the other, and bent over to water the plants.
"What's the good news?"
Aunt Zhao followed behind her, looking a little embarrassed. Should I speak directly? Or should I say something first?
"Yuanyuan, your family's life is getting better and better."
…
It is indeed flourishing, but she did not agree and waited for the next words.
"After you get married, your father and your brother will be the only ones left at home. Don't you know that a man has to make do with his life alone? It's really not good to have no woman at home."
Hua Yuanyuan..., this is not entirely true.
"Aunt, I am married, but I still live with my father and brother."
How can you pretend she doesn't exist? She's such a grown-up.
It makes my father and brother sound so pitiful, but that’s not the case. Isn’t this confusing right and wrong?
No, that word is not appropriate here.
The other party doesn't understand the specific situation and is talking nonsense.
Hua Yuanyuan straightened up, turned her head and glared, and said very seriously, "Aunt, my father and my brother are living a good life. They have eggs every morning. They are tired of eating steamed buns, and they think fatty meat is too fatty. They want to eat lean meat. There are too many vegetables at home, and they have to pick and choose!"
Aunt Zhao..., listen, listen, what kind of life is the Hua family living?
Hua Yuanyuan said this on purpose, but actually dad and brother are not picky eaters.
I don’t get tired of eating cabbage and radish every day, as long as I change the way I eat them. I like to eat them fried with meat.
When interrupted by Hua Yuanyuan, Aunt Zhao forgot her words and let go of those padding words.
"Yuanyuan, let's talk business. Your father, are you going to let him live like this?"
ah?
"What's the meaning?"
"You don't want your father to find a companion?"
Find yourself a stepmother?
Hua Yuanyuan has never thought about it.
They tried hard to search the original owner's memory, but there was no such information. Their father had never mentioned finding a stepmother to them.
In his memories of growing up, he often mentioned his mother, saying that she had left the three of them long ago and was waiting for them there.
My dad still has a lot of affection for my mom.
"Aunt, it's not appropriate to tell me this, you should just tell my father directly!"
As her father was an independent individual, it was not easy for her to interfere in his emotional issues. As a child, it didn't matter to her if her father liked her.
His family will have property issues in the future, so it wouldn't be a big problem if we make this clear in advance.
It's not enough to just talk about it, the agreement has to be written down and signed and confirmed.
If there is really a suitable one and my dad likes her, I have to give her what she deserves and not treat her as a free babysitter.
Dad can't be a sucker. The emotional problems of the elderly are all related to interests. No one is a fool. Everyone is very realistic. Otherwise, why would he follow you?
It depends on dad's choice.
"Yuanyuan, I must tell your father about this. Let me say hello to you first."
When Hua Youcai is unsure about something outside, his favorite thing to say is, I'll go home and ask my daughter.
"Aunt, it's not appropriate for us as children to interfere in my father's lifelong affairs."
The meaning of shirking responsibility is very obvious, don't pretend you don't understand.
Aunt Zhao understood what he said, and couldn't help but continue, "Yuanyuan, let's not think too much about it. First, listen to what this person has to say!"
I lost the mood to water the plants because I had to make her listen.
…
You know what, the person Aunt Zhao was talking about sounds quite reliable. Her husband died when she was young, and she has been living alone ever since.
I am 42 years old this year and have been working in a state-owned restaurant for many years.
Living with my mother’s family, I am just an ordinary person.
"Aunt, I'm just curious, why do you want to propose marriage to my father?"
Aunt Zhao was stunned by the question, "It was just a coincidence, the sisters were talking together, and the conversation ended here."
The next person in the Hua family who should be proposed to is the younger brother, how come it became the father?
"Okay, auntie, I know about this. I will tell you the truth and I will get back to you no matter what the result is."
Let’s stop here and won’t say more.
After sending Aunt Zhao away, Hua Yuanyuan continued to work so as not to delay the progress.
In the evening, I asked my younger brother to go to Pingyang No. 3 Middle School, and Hua Yuanyuan went to the village school. The children were quite enthusiastic when they saw her.
Students here all know that they can exchange wheat for Huajia buns. Some people from other villages who want to eat them but don’t have children studying here ask students from their neighborhood to help bring them. They don’t need to bring too much, just weigh the wheat at home.
The good thing about the Hua family's business is that they are flexible.
Forget about wheat, you can even exchange anything else.
Some people come to the village on bicycles to sell goods, some come to sharpen knives and scissors, and the Hua family is willing to negotiate for anything that can be used.
This is the most primitive way of transaction, and it is also feasible in Hua’s family.
The ones who stayed until the end today were Li Chunlan and Wang Juan. Liu Haixia and Sister Shen went home after finishing their work.
The two people who stayed behind could do some work in their own fields if they had time before selling goods at mealtime, or they could just wait.
When the tractor comes back, you can wash it clean and go home.
These four people have clearly not been working at the Hua family for a long time, yet it feels like a long time has passed.
At dinner, Hua Yuanyuan had a bowl of tomato and egg soup and big steamed buns with salted crabs.
