Lu Jin looked puzzled. What was his father trying to do? When did he find a partner? How come he didn't know?
Seeing his son standing there stupidly, Lu Fengnian ordered, "Jin'er, go quickly. It's hot and I want to eat a piece of watermelon to quench my thirst."
"Okay, I'll go cut it now."
He Wenzhou was a very clever man, so he could tell that his brother-in-law didn't want to marry the village chief. Afraid that his brother-in-law would bring this up with his son, he quickly asked He Yuanhang to help in the kitchen.
Hua Yongsheng sighed deeply, "Ah, both of your young masters are very outstanding. It seems that my Baozhu is not blessed."
He Wenzhou smiled and consoled him, "Brother, don't worry. Your Baozhu is so pretty, there must be a lot of guys lining up to like her, right?"
Hua Yongsheng laughed awkwardly, "My Baozhu said before that she had fallen in love with a soldier, but she refused when we tried to introduce her to someone, and ended up wasting her time."
"Soldiers are great, which young man has your Baozhu taken a fancy to? My brother-in-law is the leader of the army, so I can introduce her to a soldier."
It is impossible for the He family and the Lu family to find a son-in-law, so it would be nice if Commander Lu could really introduce a soldier to his daughter.
Hua Yongsheng thought for a moment and said, "Master Lu, your eldest son comes to see Uncle Tao every year. My daughter Baozhu has always had a crush on your eldest son and has always been obsessed with him.
It’s a pity that your eldest son is already married, otherwise our two families could get married and create a beautiful story.
Commander Lu, there are many young comrades in your army who are single, right? What do you think of my daughter?
"Your daughter is quite good. Soldiers' marriages are usually decided by their families."
"Brother-in-law, your army holds a social gathering every year, right?" He Wenzhou continued to sabotage.
"Organizing social activities in the army is a logistical matter, not my responsibility. Some comrades retire and return to their hometowns when they reach a certain age, and some already have partners back home.
If the village chief really wants me to be a matchmaker, I'll help you keep an eye out for someone suitable. At least the man should be older than Baozhu."
"Thank you! Commander Lu, you won't be going back tonight. Uncle Tao's house might not have enough room. Why don't you let your sons sleep at our house? We have a big kang that can sleep five or six people."
Your daughter is thinking about my eldest son, and you are thinking about my second son. If I let my son sleep at your house, wouldn't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth?
Lu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "No need. The brothers can sleep on the floor. It's too hot if they sleep together."
Hua Yongsheng didn't say anything else. At this time, Lu Jin brought out the cut watermelon, and Lu Ting came over and took a piece for Su Yan.
Seeing that one basin of watermelon was not enough to share, Hua Zhang told Hua Xiangnan to go back to the kitchen and cut out two more.
Huali sat next to Hua Min, waving the palm-leaf fan in her hand, "Sister, why didn't your Lu Ting have a wedding banquet?"
"So many people died in the drought last year, and everyone had nothing to eat. We can't possibly open a bar with all the fanfare."
"Your wife is going to give birth at the end of the year, so you don't plan to have a wedding?"
"That depends on what Yanyan says. The disaster situation has eased and improved today, so we naturally support them holding a banquet."
Huali pouted. Her elder sister must be dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, so she didn't hold a wedding banquet before the wedding, but held it when her daughter-in-law was about to give birth. Could it be that Su Yan was pregnant with a son?
"Sister, is your daughter-in-law pregnant with a boy?"
"I don't know. We'll know after the baby is born."
"Sister, I heard that you can tell the gender of the baby in your belly by taking the pulse. Isn't your in-law a doctor? How could you not know whether your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
"I really don't know. Yanyan didn't go for a checkup, nor did she ask her in-laws to take her pulse. Our Yanyan is so beautiful, we hope she blossoms first and then bears fruit, and we hope to have a daughter first."
Huali sneered. "Eldest sister only knows how to pretend. Who doesn't like to have a son in this era?" If possible, she would like to have more sons, but unfortunately her family's Wenzhou said that one son and one daughter are enough.
"Sister, you guys aren't going home tonight, are you?"
"I'm not going back. If there's not enough room to sleep, I'll just squeeze in at my second and third uncle's house. You guys drove the company car back, do you want to go back?"
"Come back tomorrow morning."
There was no electricity at home, and there were so many people there tonight that she didn't have time to squeeze with them.
There are more than ten tables at this birthday banquet, so they should come back early tomorrow to avoid being gossiped about Wenzhou by the villagers.
He Wenzhou didn't want to sleep at his father-in-law's house. There probably wasn't enough room for all the people in the house to sleep on the floor.
Originally he planned to come tomorrow, but his wife insisted on coming the night before, saying that his brother-in-law had already gone home, and if he didn't, the villagers would definitely talk about him.
I heard that my brother-in-law gave half a pig as a gift today, and the village chief praised him several times. Will he buy something for his father-in-law tomorrow?
He Wenzhou's family left, Qin Xianhe also took his wife and children to say goodbye to his father-in-law, and the village chief and Hua Guofeng and his brothers also went back.
Lu Ting walked up to Lu Fengnian and looked at him with a half-smile, "Dad, when did my brother start dating? How come I didn't know?"
"Oh, I wouldn't say that. The village chief will probably take your brother to stay at his house tonight. I'm doing this for his own good. When that girl came over, I saw her glance at you several times."
"Dad, after you cheated my brother, you want to cheat me now? I'm a married man."
"Okay, look at you, you're so serious. The village chief said earlier that his daughter hasn't married because she's thinking about you. Are you provoking your grandfather every time you come to his house?"
"What did I do to provoke her? I've never even seen what she looks like. I think you should go explain this to my brother tonight. He was just struggling in the kitchen for a long time."
Lu Fengnian knew that his second son was gentle and polite, but too simple and too sensitive. If he didn't explain this matter clearly, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Lu Fengnian stood up, found Lu Jin and told him the whole story. Lu Jin also understood what his father meant. In short, it was all for his own good.
"Jin'er, the reason Dad pulled you out here and said you had a partner was to reject the village chief's offer of his own daughter.
Also, your mother and I support you in finding a partner. We don't have high expectations, as long as the person has decent character."
"Dad, I don't take what happened tonight to heart, so don't get too upset. Also, I'm not looking for a partner for the time being."
"Jin'er, you're already twenty years old, it's time to find a partner. I'll give you another two years. If you don't find one, we'll find one for you ourselves."
Lu Jin knew that his father was not joking, and he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he had to ask his elder brother to come out and distract him.
"Dad, my eldest brother didn't get married until he was 23. I also want to wait a few more years before considering marriage."
