Chapter 173 Agree to Meet
In Dayang Village, Chen Cui'e understood what her youngest daughter said. She hung up the phone, thanked Li Ziqiang, and walked straight to the end of the village.
When he arrived at the gate of a courtyard, he knocked gently, "Honghua, are you home?"
The door opened with a creak. Jiang Wenwen smiled at Chen Cui'e and said, "Aunt Chen, my mother is in the backyard. Please come in first. I'll go find her."
"Okay." Chen Cui'e was not shy and pulled a chair in the yard and sat down.
Zhang Honghua, who was busy in the backyard, knew what was going on when she heard that it was Chen Cui'e. She glanced at her daughter and said, "Wenwen, go get your Aunt Chen a glass of sugar water. Put more sugar in it."
Jiang Wenwen nodded obediently and went straight to the kitchen.
Zhang Honghua walked to the front yard in a few steps, washed her hands with the water in the wooden bucket, and said with a smile: "Cui'e is here, come in and talk."
Chen Cui'e followed him in and said as she walked, "You have taken good care of your yard. Is that mugwort in the corner?"
"Oh, yes, it's mugwort and some mint. Wenwen likes to attract mosquitoes, so I asked her dad to dig some from the mountain and make it into mugwort mint ointment, which can also repel mosquitoes and relieve itching."
"Oh, you have really deft hands. Can children use this wormwood mint ointment? My little grandson loves to attract mosquitoes. There are many mosquitoes in the summer, and I am afraid he will be bitten."
"You can use it. Let me get you a can first, and then I'll give you another one when I make new one later." Zhang Honghua said with a smile. This thing wasn't worth much, so she was happy to do it as a favor.
"Okay, I'll give you some good stuff. Now, let's get down to business. Xinbai called and said it was my son-in-law's cousin. He has three brothers and all of them have formal jobs. His parents are also kind. The house they live in is about 80 square meters, which is almost half the size of my in-laws' house!"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Hey, the one I told Wenwen about is the oldest one. He's probably about six years older than Wenwen. Don't be impatient. Just listen to me. This kid is a good person with a good temper. It's just that he wasn't very lucky before. He didn't succeed after two attempts, so it's delayed."
Zhang Honghua was a little reluctant when she heard that he was six years older than her daughter. "Cui'e, it's not that I'm picky. You see, Wenwen is not even 18 yet, and the man is 24. There is a big difference between them, don't you think?"
Chen Cui'e nodded in understanding. "I understand what you mean, but the man also said that once we get married, he will transfer his job to the new wife. This way, the problem of food supply will be solved, and the children born in the future will also have a city hukou."
"Work," Zhang Honghua was confused again when she heard this, "Whose job should be given to the new wife?" It's impossible for the man to give the job to the new wife and then not go to work, right?
"Oh, it's my fault for not making it clear. The man's mother also has a job, and it will be given directly to the new daughter-in-law."
"Oh, so that's the case. That's good." Zhang Honghua nodded thoughtfully.
Chen Cui'e picked up the sugar water on the table and took a sip. It tasted sweet and she felt very satisfied.
"So what do you think? Do you want to meet?" Chen Cui'e looked at Zhang Honghua with a smile. In fact, for her, there was no harm in meeting once. It was always an opportunity after all!
"I haven't really thought about this. Can you let me think about it again?" Zhang Honghua still wanted to discuss it with her daughter. After all, it was a major event in her life.
"Okay, you guys think about it, and we'll go to the brigade headquarters after 5:30 in the evening to call Xin Bai back."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
After Chen Cui'e left, Zhang Honghua called out to the house, "Wenwen, come out."
Jiang Wenwen came out of the house and looked at Zhang Honghua with a red face, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhang Honghua looked at her graceful little daughter with a look of relief on her face, then asked with a smile: "You should have heard what your Aunt Chen said just now. Tell me what you think?"
Jiang Wenwen looked up at her mother, bit her lower lip and asked, "Why is there no photo of the man?"
"Why do you want photos? Just go and see him. Logically speaking, the conditions of the man's family are quite good. Moreover, they can give the future daughter-in-law a job. It's so hard to find a job in the city now! Although he is older than you, he is more sensible. Mom thinks you can go and take a look. I didn't say you have to marry him after meeting him. Just take a look."
Jiang Wenwen thought about it and realized that since she didn't want to marry in the village, she had to grab every opportunity. So she smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go and take a look!"
In the evening, Jiang Xinbai told her mother-in-law immediately after receiving the reply, and then the two families agreed on a time to meet each other. Thinking it would be convenient, they decided to hold it directly at Jiang Xinbai's house.
Jiang Xinbai got up very early that day. She urged her husband to get up and sweep the yard.
Yang Jinsheng had just gotten up and was sweeping the yard with a broom when he heard a knock on the door. He frowned and thought, "How could they come so early?"
As soon as the door opened, I saw Sun Aijun standing straight outside the door, "Cousin, are you here so early?"
Su Aijun touched his head embarrassedly and chuckled twice, "I'm not nervous. I couldn't sleep, so I thought of coming to your place early to wait for you."
"Cousin, not really. You're a grown man, but you're still nervous. You're really impressive." Yang Jinsheng teased him with a smile, then stuffed the broom in his hand into Sun Aijun's hand, "Since you're here, just sweep my yard."
Sun Aijun had nothing to do, so he picked up a broom and started sweeping the yard.
Jiang Xinbai came out of the kitchen with two bowls of porridge. When she saw her husband, she frowned and asked, "Sweep so fast?"
Yang Jinsheng waved his hand and said, "Someone is helping me with the work."
"Who is it?"
"Who else could it be? My cousin Aijun! He came early in the morning and said he couldn't sleep, so he got up very early. Don't you think it's funny?"
Jiang Xinbai rolled his eyes at him after hearing this. "How can you let cousin Aijun work? He must not have had breakfast so early. Go ask him to come in and have some porridge."
Yang Jinsheng stood at the threshold holding a bowl and asked Sun Aijun, "Cousin, you haven't eaten yet, come in and have a bowl of porridge."
Sun Aijun replied without even looking up: "You guys eat, I ate this morning."
"Really? Don't be polite, there's porridge at home!"
"I'm not being polite, I've really eaten." Sun Aijun was quick and swept the yard clean in no time. Then he sat on the bench and looked at Yang Jinsheng and asked, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative first. What do you think we should buy to eat? What do girls like to eat?"
