"Second brother, what kind do you like? My sister-in-law will go back to her parents' home tomorrow and ask my mother to help find out."
Zhao Hongying looked at Qi Mingtao inquiringly with a smile on her face.
Qi Mingtao thought about it seriously and said, "I don't have any requirements. It's fine as long as we can get along well. If we get married, she has to follow me in the army. Sometimes I have to go on a mission and can't go home for ten days or half a month. If we have children in the future, the family will have to rely on her alone. I'm just afraid that she won't be willing to endure this hardship."
"Oh, how can this be called hardship? Every married woman has to do laundry, cooking, and taking care of children. You get a lot of allowance every month, which is much better than your elder brother."
"Hey~ You, if you want to praise the second one, then you should praise the second one. Why are you talking down on me?"
Qi Minghai was very dissatisfied with his wife's behavior of belittling him, and he was determined to teach this dishonest woman a lesson tonight.
"Is it not enough for me to tell the truth? You are simply not as good as my second brother."
The daughter-in-law of the Qi family has a high status, and she dares to speak directly about her man in front of her parents-in-law.
"It doesn't matter if I can't compare to him. The second brother is my real brother. If he succeeds, I, as his elder brother, will be proud."
Anyway, the one who is successful is my own brother, and we are all family, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Qi Mingtao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw his brother and sister-in-law quarreling over him. "Sister-in-law, I'll trouble you. As long as the other party doesn't mind joining the army, I'm willing to meet him."
Zhao Hongying nodded with a smile, "Okay, don't worry."
It would be better to join the army. Life will definitely be better than in the village. If so, I would agree without hesitation. My brother-in-law is so good, there will definitely be a lot of girls willing to marry him.
The next morning, after breakfast, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qi family split up to arrange a blind date for Qi Mingtao.
"Is his aunt home?"
Qi's mother walked briskly to Qi Mingtao's cousin's house.
"I'm here, sister-in-law, come in quickly."
Qi Mingtao's aunt Wang Fen welcomed them into the house with a smile.
Mother Qi sat cross-legged on the kang and said with a smile, "I'll be frank. I came here just to ask for your help."
Wang Fen smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"As for Mingtao, he's already 21 years old and still single, so I wanted to take this opportunity to meet someone new. It would be great if it works out.
I know almost everything about our team. I just thought your parents are not here, so I wanted to ask you to find out if there is anyone suitable. "
Wang Fen became interested when she heard this. "That's great news. What kind of person do you want to find for Ming Tao?"
Qi's mother laughed, "As long as she is good-looking and can manage the household, that's all. When they get married, they will follow Mingtao to the army. Your eldest brother and I will not get involved. They will live their own lives."
Wang Fen nodded, looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "I do have a very good girl, but she's a little young."
Qi's mother asked hurriedly, "How old are you?"
Wang Fen was a little embarrassed. "I'm sixteen now, and I have to wait another two years to get the marriage certificate. Can Mingtao wait?"
"Sixteen, that's a bit young."
He is five years younger than Qi Mingtao. By the time they get their marriage certificate, their son will be 23 years old.
"Okay, then I'll ask for other suitable ones. This girl is my sister's daughter. She's pretty and deft, and can do anything. It's a pity that she's a bit older than Mingtao."
"Your sister's daughter? Is this the second child? Does the eldest child work in the county town?"
Wang Fen nodded, "Yes, to be honest, my eldest niece is eighteen this year and is quite suitable for Mingtao, but the child has already been engaged."
Wang Fen felt it was a pity when she heard this. The fact that a girl from the countryside could find a job in the county town showed that she was capable. It would have been great if she could be with her son, but it was a pity that she was one step too late.
"That's a pity. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. I'm also very worried. How can you not get married at such an age?"
Wang Fen smiled and comforted her, "You don't have to be too angry. Mingtao is a capable man, he's good-looking and has a good job. If you haven't found someone, it means your destiny hasn't arrived yet. Once destiny comes, it can't be stopped!"
"Oh~ I'm now looking forward to him coming back and solving this matter quickly, so that I can sleep well."
"Yes."
More than half an hour after Qi's mother returned home, Zhao Hongying returned home with a smile on her face.
"Mom, there's good news!"
Mother Qi's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Is there anyone suitable?"
Zhao Hongying nodded, "Yes! When I went home and told my mother, she said that my second aunt's cousin's daughter was also looking for someone, and that girl is so pretty!"
"Really? How old are you? Which team are you on?"
"She's nineteen, from the Shengli Brigade. Her family is well off, with three older brothers, all very capable. She's the fourth child, and the whole family dotes on her. They have high standards and don't like those guys in the village, so they've been waiting until now. Our Mingtao is so good, they'll definitely be interested in him!"
"What are their personalities like? Mingtao is a straightforward person, and if that girl is also hot-tempered, they won't get along."
When Qi's mother heard this, she had high standards and was afraid that the girl would be spoiled by her family and would not be suitable if she could not manage the household and take care of her own son.
Zhao Hongying smiled brightly, "She has a good temper and is capable, but she doesn't want to compromise herself. She hasn't found someone she likes, so she's been waiting until now. If she's not good, I can't introduce her to Mingtao."
Mother Qi nodded in relief, "Okay, then ask again, when can we make an appointment, can tomorrow be done?"
"Okay, then I'll go back and ask my mom."
Her parents' home is not far from here, and it only takes more than half an hour to go there and back.
"Okay, go ahead."

Xiang Changlin arrived at the county town early in the morning with his luggage. He got off the bus opposite the guesthouse and went straight to Zhou Ming.
Ye Qing had already gone to work. Seeing him coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Have you brought everything?"
Xiang Changlin smiled and nodded, "I've brought them all. I'll come over to have lunch with you at noon."
"good."
Xiang Changlin went upstairs and knocked on Zhou Ming's door, and then the two of them went to the transport team together.
Because of work, Zhou Ming had also been to the county's transport team, so he said something to the guard and took Xiang Changlin directly to the captain's office.
"Good morning, Captain Wu. I'm here to bring in the new recruits."
Zhou Ming first greeted Captain Wu with a smile.
Captain Wu is a middle-aged man in his forties with a kind face, except for the few wisps of sparse hair on his head that are somewhat eye-catching.
"Welcome, welcome!"
He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhou Ming and Xiang Changlin.
