Chapter 172 Give the Future Daughter-in-law a Job
Sun Erni nodded after hearing this. "Okay, then I'll tell you in more detail. The girl's name is Jiang Wenwen. She has five older brothers and she's the only daughter, so her family dotes on her. They said that she'll have a sewing machine as a dowry, and her parents' family will send her food every month."
"Oh, this is a big deal. There shouldn't be something wrong with this girl, right?" Zhang Shuzhen thought more. The conditions set by the girl, to put it bluntly, were like giving away money. Was it just to marry a city guy?
"No, I asked Xinbai. The girl is a high school graduate. She is tall and pretty. She just doesn't want to work on the farm, so she wants to marry into the city. Of course, she also said that she can do housework, but she's not that good at it." Sun Erni didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If she couldn't do it well, she could just do it a few more times. How could she never do it in her whole life?
"How old is the girl?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you this. I think I'm seventeen this year. I'll be eighteen soon."
"Ah, so young." Zhang Shuzhen and Sun Erlong looked at each other and were a little pessimistic. There is no way a young girl would be willing to find a guy who is five or six years older than her.
"Well, there is a gap in age, and I am also afraid that she will not be willing. But your family has an advantage, Shuzhen. You said before that if Aijun gets married, you will give your job to Aijun's wife. Does this still count?"
Zhang Shuzhen nodded repeatedly, "It counts, it counts, sister, as long as Aijun can marry a good wife, I will give him this job immediately."
"Okay then, I'll let Xin Bai talk about it?"
"Tell me about it, what if it works?"
"What about Aijun? Why don't you ask Aijun's opinion? After all, he is the one living the life." Sun Erni thought about it and decided to ask the person involved for his opinion.
Zhang Shuzhen shouted to her husband, "Go, call Aijun back." Then she smiled at Sun Erni, "Aijun, that kid, went to his colleague's house to do something after dinner. It's in the building behind. He will be there soon."
Sun Erni nodded, "What about Aimin and Aijia? Are they out too?"
"Those two just can't stay at home. Luckily, they were just hanging out with friends and didn't mess around with those people, so I just left them alone."
"That's right, Shuzhen. Tell the children at home not to follow those Red Guards and do anything against their conscience."
"Sister, don't worry about this. With Aijun in charge, they won't dare to do that."
At this time, Sun Erni suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "Shuzhen, don't blame me for being nosy. Aimin is 22 years old and will soon find a partner. You want to leave this job to Aijun's future wife. You must talk to them about this in advance to avoid hurting their relationship as brothers."
After listening to Sun Erni's words, Zhang Shuzhen smiled gratefully, "Sister, I know you are thinking about us. I have already told Aimin and the others about this matter. If Aimin and the others are dating in the future, this matter must be made clear to avoid quarrels later."
"Well, that's the truth."
At this time, a tall young man walked in from outside and grinned at Sun Erni, "Aunt, you're here," his face turned red. It seemed that his father had told him about the matter on the way.
Sun Erni was delighted when she saw her nephew. She stood up and took Sun Aijun's hand to look at him carefully. "Aijun, auntie is going to introduce you to a girl who is a few years younger than you. But she doesn't know about your situation yet. Auntie will tell her first. If she doesn't want to, don't be discouraged. Auntie will introduce you to someone else."
Sun Erni had given a heads-up in advance. Although she thought her nephew was good in every way she looked at him, his flaws were still there, and she was not qualified to be picky.
Sun Aijun silently put away the smile on his face and said, "Hey, I know, thank you for your hard work, auntie."
Sun Erni patted her nephew's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll tell you when I have news."
"Okay, sister, let Aijun take you home. It's getting dark now. Aijun, take the flashlight and take your aunt home." Zhang Shuzhen took out a flashlight from the drawer and stuffed it into her eldest son's hand, then pushed him.
"No, I can go by myself..."
"Aunt, I'll take you home," Jiang Aijun opened the door and walked out first before he finished speaking.
"That's right, what's wrong with asking your nephew to give you a ride?"
Sun Erni had no choice but to agree, "Then I'll go back."
The next day, Sun Erni came to Jiang Xinbai's house early.
"Mom, why are you here so early? I said I would send Xiaobao to your house after breakfast!" Jiang Xinbai was biting a steamed bun when she saw her mother-in-law come in.
"Well, eat. I just came to tell you that I have already told your uncle and his family last night. You should also inform that family as soon as possible to see if you can meet them."
Jiang Xinbai smiled when she heard about this, "Mom, you said you came here so early because of this, okay, I'll write a letter and ask someone to bring it to mom, and I'll tell you when I have news."
"Oh, why are you still writing a letter? There is a telephone in your village, right? Mom will pay for it, you can call and tell her." Sun Erni seemed a little anxious. To be honest, she didn't sleep well last night. Thinking of Aijun's lost expression, she, as an aunt, felt bad too.
"Yes, Xiaobai, why don't you just go to the street corner and make a phone call to ask. It only takes a few words to see if it's okay. Look how anxious mom is."
Sun Erni sighed, "It's not that I'm anxious, it's mainly because it's rare to find a suitable partner, not to mention that the family conditions are pretty good."
"Okay, I'll go now." Jiang Xinbai wiped his mouth, put on his bag and walked straight to the telephone booth at the corner of the street.
After dialing a few familiar numbers, I waited for the other party to pick up. After a while, a male voice came from the microphone, "Dayang Village Brigade Headquarters, who are you looking for?"
"Uncle Ziqiang, it's me, Jiang Xinbai. I have something to ask my mother. Can you help me call her?"
"Hey, Xinbai, you're looking for your mom, right? I'll go get her for you. Wait two minutes and call back."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Ziqiang." Jiang Xinbai said and hung up the phone, then counted silently in his mind, and called again when the time was almost up.
As soon as the call was connected, someone picked up the phone, "Hello, Xinbai, is that you?"
"Mom, it's me. Please write down what I told you, and then tell Aunt Zhang to let them consider whether to meet you. Just call me back around 5:30 in the afternoon. This is the number."
Jiang Xinbai then explained Sun Aijun's situation in detail, and finally focused on his work, which was a plus.
