"Old man, didn't you just praise little Lu Tuo, saying that he is strong, handsome, strong, polite, and thoughtful." Zhao Hexiang said.
"Then...how can they be the same?" Su Zhongshu smacked his lips. He should be more tolerant when looking at the younger generation. Lu Yuanting is indeed a good person in all aspects, but if he is the son-in-law of his granddaughter, it will be different.
Even if there is nothing wrong, I still want to find something wrong.
"No, no, our Xia Xia is still young, it's not the time to consider this matter." Su Zhongshu shook his head.
"Our Xia Xia is eleven years old. It's time for her to find a boyfriend. The girl of the same age as Xia Xia in our village is pregnant and the baby is about to be born." Zhao Hexiang spoke, with envy clearly in her tone and eyes.
Her son in his old age is busy all day trying to engage in speculation and profiteering, saying that he wants to do business. He also says that he is capable now and will not be arrested. He does not even look at the girls introduced to him, which makes her very anxious. She has watched her granddaughter grow up since she was a child, and now she is old, but there seems to be no progress. How can she not be anxious?
Moreover, she had also asked her daughter about it. Xiao Lu was a neighbor in the staff compound. The family was familiar to each other. They had grown up together and knew each other well. The family was well-off and people liked them, too.
"But it still depends on our Xia Xia. What's most important is that our Xia Xia likes it." Zhao Hexiang spoke and sighed.
They, as elders, can act as matchmakers, but they cannot force anything. As for fate, it depends on the children themselves and cannot be forced.
Life is getting better now, women can hold up half the sky, they can stand on their own feet and no longer rely on others for a living.
"That's the truth." Su Zhongshu nodded and patted the back of Zhao Hexiang's hand.
Jiang Xia had no idea that her grandparents had said so much in private. All she was thinking about was the ancient book she had just found from the stall. Was the mountain medicine book real or fake? If it was real, then its absolute value could not be measured in money.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm going out for a while." Jiang Xia took the key to Su Zhongshu's clinic.
The things in this house were incomplete. She remembered that the words on the mountain medical book required special techniques to be understood, and also required a kind of Chinese medicine to be fumigated in order to make the hidden words on it appear so that they could be understood.
"After I get my things, we'll go into the city." Jiang Xia looked at Lu Yuanting in the yard and spoke in a gentle voice.
Lu Yuanting, who was about to follow Jiang Xia, looked at Jiang Xia.
"Comrade Lu, just stay here." Jiang Xia spoke again. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, and when she was in a good mood, the ending tone would rise slightly, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Yes." Lu Yuanting listened and hummed, then stopped and sat down in the yard.
Jiang Xia didn't waste any more time seeing this and headed towards Su Zhongshu's clinic, ready to test the authenticity of the book and its contents first.
As soon as Jiang Xia left, the Su family's small courtyard seemed a lot more spacious and quiet. Su Zhongshu and Zhao Hexiang came to Lu Yuanting.
"Xiao Lu, please take these things to Xia Xia. These are dried goods from the mountains that we dried ourselves. You can eat these later, and these are for Xia Xia to eat herself." Zhao Hexiang spoke and handed the things to Lu Yuanting while holding a woven bag. He weighed the things inside and felt that they were quite heavy.
They are all pickles, crispy radishes, and dried vegetables pickled by farmers themselves.
These things are not valuable, but they are thoughtful and time-consuming to make.
