Chapter 384 Huo Jianguo is eyed by a widow



Yang Dasheng and Wei Xiangdong sat for a while longer before heading back.

Yang Dasheng thought he should go back and ask his uncle if he could set up a factory in the city or county to play around with.

It's still unclear whether Brother Huo will be able to join.

The two of them left together.

The two of them happened to be going the same way.

Only after everyone left did Huo Junshan have a chance to speak with Yun Ningyan.

"Yanyan, thank you. I know you want Huo Min to find someone with good conditions."

Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just thought the two of them were a good match."

"I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect Huo Min to agree so readily."

"If the two of them get together, it would be a good thing."

"Huo Min will no longer have to work in the fields every day like the villagers."

Huo Junshan nodded: "That's true, it all depends on how things develop between the two of them!"

"When will your factory start? It's already past the New Year and there's still no news."

Huo Junshan smiled and said, "That's a long time coming."

It's estimated that it will have to wait until spring, when the snow melts.

"No rush, just wait for the higher-ups to arrive. Uncle Xiao said it can't be wrong."

Niu Lei and Niu Erhua went home together.

As soon as Niu Lei got home, he grabbed his father and said, "Dad, you don't know, I had lunch with my aunt at the Huo family's house. Their food was really good. The meat and ribs were served in basins."

"More than a dozen dishes! All of them are meat dishes."

"Everything you made was delicious."

"I think it would be quite nice for this younger sister to marry into that family and live a life like this!"

Niu Dahua glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your sister could never marry into the Huo family!"

"How could a young woman like her date a divorcee?"

Niu Lei continued, "Dad, you have no idea what kind of wine they drank at noon. I also had a couple of sips."

Niu Dahua: "What kind of wine? It's just bulk wine."

Niu Lei shook his head, looking mysterious.

"Guizhou Moutai liquor! We drank two bottles in total. Other people's relatives brought milk powder, malted milk powder, steamed egg cakes and other good stuff."

"Do you really think their family is that well-off?!"

Niu Dahua was a little incredulous: "What are you talking about? Who can build something like this? How much money would that cost?"

Niu Lei!

He looked at his aunt and knew that her father didn't believe him!

"Auntie, look! I knew my dad wouldn't believe it!"

Niu Erhua laughed and said, "Big brother, what Lei said is true, he didn't lie to you."

"Really? Who serves meat in a basin when they have guests?"

Niu Dahua still didn't believe it.

Niu Erhua: "But we ate lunch there! If you don't believe me, what can I do?"

"Anyway, it's a good family to marry into. There's nothing I can do if you don't agree."

"Just wait until your daughter suffers on the ground, then you'll be crying!"

"The Huo family's daughter-in-law has never worked in the fields; the men earn enough to eat."

"Unlike you, you can't even get enough to eat, yet you still want to eat meat."

"It's up to you. Anyway, I've already considered Cui Cui's feelings. If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Niu Cuicui looked at her father without saying a word. Actually, she also wanted to give Huo Jianguo a try.

Whether it works or not, we'll see. We'll know for sure once we get to the bottom of it.

Niu Dahua still couldn't get over his own conscience. How could a perfectly good young woman marry a divorced man? People would laugh at him to death!

Seeing that he was unmoved, Niu Erhua went back.

“Cui Cui, you’re not lucky. I’m not going to get involved in this anymore. Your father won’t listen to me either, so I’m going back.”

Niu Cuicui nodded.

Niu Erhua went home.

As soon as she arrived home, Li Xiangyun came over.

"Erhua, how did it go? Did your brother agree?"

Niu Erhua shook her head: "Let's wait and see! He can't figure it out now, but he'll know later. Your eldest son isn't in a hurry to find someone."

After Niu Erhua left, Niu Dahua went to find the village matchmaker, explained his purpose, and then went back.

"Cui Cui, just wait and see! I've gone to the matchmaker; she knows a lot of people and I guarantee she'll find someone even better than that guy."

Niu Cuicui didn't say anything, turned around and went home.

But a few days later, Niu Cuicui met with two or three people.

They all met at their home, and her father wasn't satisfied with any of them.

They either complain that someone is ugly, that they are too short, or that they are not strong enough.

The matter was then shelved.

Niu Dahua stopped making arrangements, feeling that his daughter's time had not yet come.

Meanwhile, Huo Jianguo also has people who want to date him.

Widow Zhang from the village thought Huo Jianguo was honest, reliable, and capable.

He then set his sights on walking to the Huo family's door every day.

After a few times, Li Xiangyun also got annoyed. What was wrong with this person? He passed by their house every day.

As it was getting dark, Widow Zhang came again!

This time she knocked on the door, wanting to see Huo Jianguo.

Although it's a bit awkward for a woman to bring it up, she really wanted to find a companion!

When Li Xiangyun saw that it was her, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

She doesn't usually have much contact with her.

Widow Zhang hesitated, unable to speak to Li Xiangyun.

"Auntie, I'd like to see Comrade Huo Jianguo. Could you please ask him to come out?"

Li Xiangyun frowned. She was a widow, and her son was divorced. If people saw her meeting with him alone, what would they think?

"If you want to see him, you can tell me and I'll pass on your message. It's not appropriate for the two of you to meet alone."

Widow Zhang was a little disappointed; she hadn't expected to not even have the chance to see Huo Jianguo.

"Auntie, it's just a small matter. If he's not here, then forget it. I'm leaving."

After saying that, she left.

Li Xiangyun watched her retreating figure for a moment, then closed the door.

Huo Jianguo came out of the house and asked with a smile, "Mother, who's here?"

Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "No one, I'll go cook! Just look after the two kids."

Li Xiangyun went to cook, and Xiao Huzi wanted to go out and play.

He then took Little Tiger out.

Who knew that as soon as they stepped outside, they saw Widow Zhang standing not far from their house!

Seeing him come out, her face lit up with joy, and she walked over in a few steps.

"Jianguo, I want to talk to you about something. Do you have time?"

Huo Jianguo frowned; his family had no dealings with her.

"Just tell me what's on your mind!"

Widow Zhang murmured, "Um, I heard you got divorced. Have you thought about finding another wife?"

"After my husband died, I had no children and lived alone, you see..."

As soon as she said that, Huo Jianguo knew what she was going to say and quickly interrupted her.

She said it so bluntly, and he rejected her. She's a woman, so she must feel bad inside.

He shook his head: "Well, right now I just want to take good care of the child and not think about anything else."

He recalled Niu Cuicui's smile and the scene of her scolding him.

He took Little Tiger and left.

Widow Zhang wanted to say something more, but she opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
