Zhao Guihua had a feeling that things were about to get turbulent again in the compound.
I am not an experienced matchmaker and I have not introduced many people to potential partners.
But hasn't she eaten pork or seen a pig walk? This was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and it was really funny. But just looking at the faces of Aunt Wang and Li Weiwei, she knew how angry her family was.
Come to think of it, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be angry.
As the introducer, she couldn't help but express her opinion. She said coldly, "Her aunt, look at what this has caused. We are having a proper blind date, not your daughter coming out to choose a concubine. How can you think you are the emperor of the old society? You pick whoever you see. Besides, it was agreed that you were going to meet Li Weiwei. They are middle school classmates, so you can't not know what kind of person he is, right? Since you are here, it means you still have this intention, but look at what you are doing? You don't want to lose face, but we do. Does it sound good if you say it out loud?"
Aunt Guan Hong blushed with shame, but at this time she naturally sided with her niece. She said unhappily: "Aunt Zhao, what you said is too harsh. We are not unkind people. It's just that the girl really doesn't like the boy. Can she force him to marry her? Marriage is free now. Parents can't force their children. You, an outsider..."
Zhao Guihua interrupted him and didn't want him to change the subject. She said, "What do you mean by forced? If you say that, it's meaningless. Your family came to the blind date. Whether we agree or not, we should at least be polite, right? But look at your daughter. She said she liked him when she saw him shirtless. She didn't care about her face at all. What do you mean by freedom of marriage? Marriage is freedom, but you can't be shameless, right? You came to our courtyard for a blind date with the Li family. You can't just ignore it when you see a man? Isn't this too much?"
Although it was Aunt Wang who asked her to help instigate this matter, since she was the matchmaker, Zhao Guihua had to show her attitude. At least she had to speak for Li Weiwei, after all, they were the people of the Yimo compound.
Zhao Guihua's voice was not low. At this time, some people in the yard had already begun to look around. Aunt Zhou came out in small steps and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhao Guihua snorted coldly: "This is a dishonest person."
As the person involved, Aunt Wang certainly couldn't say it directly. Zhao Guihua spoke up for her, and she finally calmed down a little. She sneered and said, "Go away, if you don't want to go on a blind date, just leave. Weiwei, go home, don't get involved with this kind of woman here."
Li Weiwei had never expected that he would encounter such a thing during a blind date.
In fact, he always felt that he and Guan Hong had a tacit understanding. For example, every time she came to the cafeteria, she would come to his window. Several times, she even winked at him. It was because she also gave a lot of hints that Li Weiwei officially looked for a matchmaker.
But I never thought that this would be the result?
He was panting with anger, but he couldn't argue with a woman, so he turned around and yelled at Su Jinlai: "Su Jinlai, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately messed up my blind date, are you still a man?"
Su Jinlai was very proud. Although he didn't know why this woman liked him, it didn't stop him from showing off.
He said, "Brother, do I need to be so deliberate? With my looks, I walk down the street and many girls smile at me. Not to mention, if you go to the streets and ask around, everyone will call me Brother Jinlai. I, Su Jinlai, am a big shot on the street. I advise you to stay away from me."
When Guan Hong heard this, she looked at Su Jinlai with admiration.
She had also been to some small video halls and watched movies from Hong Kong Island. She admired boys with a sense of gangsterism the most. So she didn't mind that Su Jinlai was a gangster. On the contrary, she thought highly of him because of this identity.
Her admiring look made Su Jinlai very proud.
He smiled arrogantly at Li Weiwei.
Li Weiwei: "You, I'll beat you to death!"
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but Zhao Guihua quickly stopped him and said, "Weiwei, let's not fight over this. I know you are about this, but if you fight like this, people will think you like her. If word gets out that two men are chasing one woman, wouldn't that be embarrassing? We don't want angry people like that."
Aunt Wang: "Yes, go away, go away quickly, don't come to our face, what a shameless thing. What kind of person is this? We will find a better one when the time comes."
Aunt Wang really didn't expect that her grandson would encounter such a thing on his first blind date. She grabbed him and said, "Let's go home. At worst, we can introduce someone else. Don't let them feel good about themselves."
Zhao Guihua and Aunt Wang refused to let Li Weiwei hit anyone. It's not that they were civilized, but they both knew that although Su Jinlai was wearing a vest and had his bare chest, this incident could not be entirely blamed on Su Jinlai.
After all, Su Jinlai hadn't made a move yet, and Guan Hong jumped out on his own.
In this situation, if Li Weiwei hit Su Jinlai, it would look bad, so they all stopped him.
Zhao Guihua pulled the person and said, "Come on, go inside, I want to talk to you."
Li Weiwei: "She, she, she...she is a liar."
Zhao Guihua glanced at Guan Hong, sneered, and said, "You care about those irrelevant people and stay away from her, least others shamelessly say that you like her and can't get her."
Li Weiwei opened his eyes wide and said, "Bah. She was obviously the one who was interested in me first. Every time she came to the cafeteria to get food, she would secretly scratch my palm when handing over the money..."
Oh no!
When the old ladies heard this, their eyes lit up. The young people nowadays are more playful than when they were young. Everyone was shocked, shocked and excited. But Aunt Guan Hong's face became even darker and uglier. She said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you slander people? Blind dates are supposed to be consensual..."
"It's a mutual agreement and I'm not trying to cheat you." Aunt Zhou said sarcastically.
Zhao Guihua nodded at the side: "That's right, if I knew this, I wouldn't have instigated it."
She also saw the two people and talked to them, saying, "Get out of here and leave now. Don't hang around in our compound. I've never seen anything like this before."
"You ruin people's reputation..."
Li Weiwei: "I didn't. Many people in our cafeteria have seen it!"
Guan Hong blushed now, but still said, "Is it okay if I touched it accidentally?"
She just wanted him to give her more meat.
Besides, she had thought that she could just find any man. This Li Weiwei was interested in her, and she thought his conditions were acceptable. But deep down, she still liked this kind of playboy. Looking at Li Weiwei again, he was a little bit off.
It would have been fine if Guan Hong didn't say anything. After hearing this, her aunt pressed her temples and felt embarrassed. Although she kept speaking for Guan Hong, she still felt embarrassed. She took a deep breath and said, "Come home with me."
Guan Hong looked at Su Jinlai, and Su Jinlai said, "Why don't you come to my house and sit for a while?"
Guan Hong: “Okay!”
Others: “!!!”
You are too blatant. Li Weiwei was so angry that he was about to vent his anger again, but was held back by his grandmother. Aunt Wang pouted and said, "Shameless thing."
She pushed Li Weiwei into the house and said, "No matter what dirty things they do, it's none of our business if they get caught."
Su Jinlai shook his head and said, "Oh, you're afraid of this, bro?"
He said, "Let's go to my house and have some water."
Guan Hong immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
Guan Hong was happy to do so, but Aunt Guan Hong was not. She grabbed her niece and said, "Come on, come home with me!"
Guan Hong: "Aunt, what are you doing? I'll just sit down for a while. A happy marriage is something you have to fight for yourself..."
Aunt Guan Hong: "To win over your mother, you must come with me today. Otherwise, how can I explain to your parents when I get home?"
She dragged the person out. Guan Hong looked back at Su Jinlai aggrievedly. Su Jinlai said, "Come and play again later."
Su Jinlai has been in a bad mood since last night. How good can it be? He was forced to work even though he was defeated, but who would have thought that he would have an unexpected gain. He smiled triumphantly and felt particularly refreshed.
He pouted and said, "You still want to fight me? Haha, I'm good-looking."
In fact, the best-looking one in their family is Tonglai, and he is also good at dealing with things. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rely on women for a living in his previous life. On the contrary, this guy studied hard in this life. He is smart, but his mind is used in studying, which makes him not so flirtatious in this aspect.
Jin Lai, who did not follow this path in his previous life, awakened some special skills in this life because of Guan Hong's enthusiasm...
He was humming a little tune, not noticing Luo Xiaohe's indescribable look. Luo Xiaohe: "..."
I don't understand the girls nowadays!
She didn't understand, and Zhao Guihua didn't understand either, but it wasn't that surprising, just like some men like to save prostitutes, some women just like to follow prodigals. Didn't Su Jinlai find a devoted woman in his previous life?
But that woman in my previous life...
That damn woman is not the official Hong today!
That woman in the previous life, what was her name?
Jung Hye Min.
After all, they had been neighbors for several years and the name was quite special, so Zhao Guihua still remembered it.
She probably had heard that this person's original name was not this one, but it was written wrong when he went to register his household registration. Although it was written wrong, his family thought that this name sounded more cultured, so they used it.
However, this is not important for the time being. What is important is to comfort the sad and lost young man Li Weiwei.
Zhao Guihua had no idea that this was just the beginning and Li Weiwei’s blind date journey would be long and far.
She is now comforting the lost young man in a kind voice.
"If you think so, even though you and her are not destined to be together, it's a good thing. After all, you are not married. If you were married, you would be screwed. It's a good thing to know what kind of person she is early on."
Zhao Guihua added: "You are still young and your job is not stable yet. When you become stable, you will find that there are actually many better ones."
She continued: "It's always better than being married and cuckolded."
"Your grandmother Zhao is right. Think carefully about whether this is the truth." Aunt Wang was actually quite embarrassed and said, "Guihua, you have been implicated this time. Look at what this incident has caused..."
It was his family who first chose the person, and then they asked Zhao Guihua to bring them together, just like Daqiang and Wang Zizhen. They found a matchmaker after they were both interested in each other. Who would have thought that such a situation could go wrong?
This girl is really a rip-off.
Zhao Guihua: "I'm fine, I'm just worried that Xiaowei will feel bad. In fact, when it comes to finding a partner, it doesn't mean that you will definitely be successful after seeing one. You may meet love around the corner when you go out."
Li Weiwei: "...Grandma Zhao, you are quite fashionable."
He blushed.
Love around the corner.
It was the first time he heard such words.
Zhao Guihua: "Don't worry about whether I'm fashionable or not. I, Zhao Guihua, will take care of your finding a partner. Wait for me to introduce you to someone."
Li Weiwei pursed his lips and said cautiously: "Really?"
He was anxious to find a partner.
Zhao Guihua: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Li Weiwei nodded heavily.
He said, "Thank you, Grandma Zhao."
This person is very influenced by his or her upbringing. For example, Li Weiwei is like this. He saw that Li Fang and Yang Lixin were calculating their lives for the family, and he thought that this was the best way. That is why Li Weiwei wanted such a life. First get married and then start a career. How happy it is for the two of them to have a life of consultation and discussion.
Li Weiwei was so upset after his blind date failed that he even took a day off.
At this time, I should thank myself for my foresight. Fortunately, I took a leave to go on a blind date. Otherwise, if it was on the weekend, wouldn't it be a disaster? I would be embarrassed to the point of losing face. He clicked his tongue and felt that he was more or less smart.
Zhao Guihua felt relieved when she saw that Li Weiwei was easy to coax. She was afraid of encountering a child who would get stuck in a rut, but fortunately, the children in their compound were well-informed since childhood, so there was really no such child.
She said, "Grandma Zhao, I'll look for you more recently. There are still many good girls."
Li Weiwei raised the corners of his mouth happily.
This calmed Li Weiwei, and Zhao Guihua really started to think about it. Although she was not much of a matchmaker, she was very familiar with the surrounding area, and she was really serious about talking about the situations of the girls from different families.
Aunt Wang: "A while ago, Aunt Lian from the street behind us said she wanted to introduce a date to my Li Junjun, but this guy refused to look. Let me ask. This is not an old grandson of mine."
Li Weiwei: "My brother can't do it, but I can."
He is really not picky.
Although Aunt Wang was very grateful to Zhao Guihua for thinking about her grandson, she didn't want to let go of any blind date she met. She said, "I'll go to Aunt Lian to see."
Since the reform and opening up, Aunt Lian's business has become more diverse. But compared to those unprofessionals, Aunt Lian is really professional. Take the old hens for example, which have solved many of their egg-eating problems.
Zhao Guihua: "You can ask her. Aunt Lian must have more candidates."
After a pause, she said, "It's a good opportunity for us to look at our horoscopes together."
Aunt Wang: "That's true."
Aunt Wang did what she said and immediately dragged Li Weiwei out the door. Li Weiwei walked to the door and looked at Su Jinlai with murderous eyes. Su Jinlai raised his head and chest with pride, feeling that he was very different from others.
He is just better than others.
However, it is a bit cold to wear a vest in the early spring. Seeing Guan Hong and Li Weiwei leave, he immediately put on his cotton jacket. Zhao Guihua: "..."
Luo Xiaohe came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhao Guihua: "What else can I do? It's definitely not going to work."
Luo Xiaohe looked at Su Jinlai and thought that this boy was adding burden to others. However, although this person has average character, he has a good appearance. She shook her head slightly and said, "This young girl doesn't understand emotions."
Zhao Guihua agreed with this.
Su Jinlai curled his lips in disdain, but he didn't care in his heart. He was very proud of himself.
Although today was a working day and many people were not in the yard, the news of Li Weiwei's failed blind date still spread. The main reason was that the situation at the scene was too outrageous. Zhuang Zhixi heard about it while walking on the street before he got home from get off work.
The person traveling with him was not someone else but Li Weiwei's biological father, Yang Lixin.
Yang Lixin, the father, was very worried and said, "Do you think my Xiaowei will not be able to find a wife?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's not the case."
A boy who is not even 20 years old, why is he in such a hurry?
He said, "It's normal to get married at 24 or 25 nowadays. Your family is considered relatively early. You don't need to worry so much."
Yang Lixin looked at Zhuang Zhixi's face, sighed even more worriedly, and said, "If someone else said this, it would be somewhat convincing, but you don't. You are good-looking anyway."
The best-looking boy in their compound is Zhuang Zhixi. Actually, Yang Lixin is not bad-looking either. If he were not good-looking, he would not be able to be a live-in son-in-law. But the problem is that Li Weiwei is a child. He has picked out all the bad aspects of his parents.
That good thing is not inherited at all.
Although Yang Lixin has not received much education and started working as a cook apprentice when he was a teenager, he has the face of an educated man and is relatively fair-skinned. However, Li Weiwei is dark-skinned and looks more like a member of the Li family. He is a bit burly and tall.
He is not fat, but very strong, and looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.
Yang Lixin was particularly worried: "He doesn't look good, it's really hard to find him."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Not everyone looks at the face."
Yang Lixin glanced at Zhuang Zhixi again and said, "What you said is not convincing."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He saw that Yang Lixin was genuinely worried and said, "Don't think too much about it."
Yang Lixin: "How can I not think about it? I..."
He paused and said, "Hey, isn't that Chen Yuan?"
Although they did not live in the same compound, they were still very familiar with Chen Yuan. After all, his wife Tao Yuye was still in the machinery factory. Chen Yuan held the little girl's arm, and the two walked together very closely.
Although the trend is different now than it was ten years ago, this situation is still rare. It is really surprising to see them walking arm in arm like this.
"What the hell. What the hell."
A cry of surprise came from behind.
Zhuang Zhixi looked back and saw Zhou Qun had caught up with him. He stared at the two people with eyes shining with gossip. He quickly took out a handkerchief, covered his face with it and pretended to cough, saying, "I'll go and take a look."
He was about to catch up, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu said, "Didn't we agree to buy a TV after get off work today?"
Zhou Qun: “Ah!”
He almost screamed.
Buying a TV is important, but finding out some gossip is also important. He is a bit torn.
Jiang Lu: "Don't worry too much about other people's family affairs."
Jiang Lu's life is particularly comfortable now. Although she is also gossipy on weekdays, she is not as enthusiastic as Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun is really reluctant to leave: "I really want to go and see it."
He was excited: "This is promiscuous."
Jiang Lu: "Then I'll go buy a TV myself?"
Zhou Qun: "Go by yourself."
Jiang Lu's face darkened, and Zhou Qun muttered, "Didn't you say you would go by yourself? Aren't you too hard to talk to?"
He looked at Chen Yuan reluctantly, knowing that he had missed the opportunity to gossip. He could only follow Jiang Lu to buy a TV. Alas, it was very hard.
Zhou Qun reluctantly let Jiang Lu go.
Jiang Lu: "Stop meddling in other people's business. There are so many other things you can do with your time. Really."
Zhou Qun groaned, thinking that his wife was really troublesome. He said, "Xiao Zhuang, why don't you go and see what's going on with Chen Yuan?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who said I'm fine? Don't I still have to comfort Yang Lixin?"
Yang Lixin: "That's not necessary."
Why does he need comfort? He doesn't need it.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and shrugged. In fact, he felt that there was really no need to inquire about Chen Yuan's affairs. Although Chen Yuan was a little eccentric, he was not a fool. He would not bring a completely unrelated person to show off in public.
He smiled and said, "Let's go. I want to see what grandpa's flower bed looks like."
Yang Lixin: "It would be great if we could find a place to raise two more chickens. It's boring to raise flowers."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I think growing flowers is good. Grandpa is so old, and he would be happier growing flowers."
Raising chickens and raising flowers are completely different concepts.
Yang Lixin: "I don't understand. Oh, oh, I forgot to bring my lunch box."
He was almost home when he realized that he had forgotten to bring his lunch box. He was really devastated by his son's failed blind date. Yang Lixin hurried back. Zhuang Zhixi shook his head and walked back alone. When he passed by a small shop, he looked at the window casually and saw two pots of flowers in the window.
Zhuang Zhixi became interested and went straight into the door. After a while, he came out with two pots of Clivia.
If Zhao Guihua was here at this time, she would know that this was exactly where she and others were, and today, she had seen these two pots of flowers. Zhao Guihua was reminded of her past life, but although she remembered it, she did not think of buying it.
Zhuang Zhixi was not like her. He did not have any foresight, but when he came here, he was moved.
Sometimes, wealth is also destined.
This is a small agency, mainly selling daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. They don't sell flowers. The two pots of flowers are just for the sake of beauty. But since Zhuang Zhi came in to buy, they naturally sold it.
In the eyes of ordinary people, two pots of flowers are not worth much, and if they can be sold for money, it would be a good thing.
The boss of the agency was thinking of putting two more pots of flowers tomorrow, hoping that the fool would come to buy flowers again. Zhuang Zhixi bought two pots of flowers, which were not cheap but not expensive either. He just wanted to have fun with these things.
Zhuang Zhixi actually didn't know much about flowers, but he just saw Lan Sihai making a flower bed and decided to grow two pots of flowers, after all, they were pretty. Zhuang Zhixi went home with the flower pots. Everyone had already gone off work. Zhao Guihua came out and saw her youngest son holding the flowers, and her eyelids twitched.
So, did this guy start growing flowers today? She looked at Zhuang Zhixi deeply and said, "This flower is good. It may be worth a lot of money in the future. You should take good care of it."
Zhuang Zhixi thought his mother was joking and said, "Okay, I'll take good care of him."
He brought the flowers back home, and when he came out he saw his son and daughter doing their winter vacation homework in the old lady's room. He sneered and said, "You guys went out to play again today. School will start in a few days. Let's see what you will do."
Yuanyuan said softly, "We can finish writing. Dad, please don't disturb us. We need to write quickly because we have to go to my great-grandfather's house to watch cartoons."
Zhuang Zhixi didn't stop the children, but just said, "Just wait and see, you won't have time when school starts."
The two children stuck out their tongues, thinking that it was obviously true, but they didn't refute their father.
Zhuang Zhixi came to the pot and asked, "What are we having today?"
Zhao Guihua: "Sour cabbage."
Liang Meifen came back early today and was already helping Zhao Guihua.
Zhao Guihua: "Do I need to tell you this?"
Leung Mei-fun remained silent.
Zhuang Zhixi approached his son and daughter indifferently and watched them do their winter vacation homework.
"Osmanthus, Osmanthus." Zhao Guihua: "What?"
The one who is calling out is Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang said excitedly: "Guihua, my Xiaowei has a blind date the day after tomorrow. I want you to go with me, I wonder if it's convenient."
Zhao Guihua: "Sure, it's not inconvenient."
Aunt Wang: "What a coincidence! The girl Aunt Lian introduced this time is from Yang Lixin's village. Although she is a country girl, she is said to be good at work even though she is not good-looking. We have decided to meet at the girl's home."
Normally, it is either at the man's home or at the matchmaker's home. It is not common to have a blind date at the woman's home. But Aunt Wang learned a lesson from today and did not want to have a blind date in their yard, lest Su Jinlai mess up again.
As for the introducer, Aunt Lian… Aunt Lian's home is really not convenient for anyone to trust. Her home is small and full of things. These are all his part-time jobs, so he really has no idea where to start.
Zhao Guihua: "Was this introduced by Aunt Lian?"
"Yes, that's her."
Aunt Wang was very happy and said, "When my son-in-law came back just now, I asked around and he said that this girl is very nice and her family members are all reasonable."
She was already 80% enthusiastic, and now it has become 100%.
She said happily: "I think my Xiaowei is very lucky this year."
Zhao Guihua nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Aunt Wang left in a hurry. Zhuang Zhixi: "You guys are going together, it will scare people."
Zhao Guihua: "What's the big deal? Besides, she didn't call me just for a blind date."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows: "Fan family?"
Zhao Guihua: “That’s right.”
They were all old sisters, and although they didn't say anything, they understood each other's meaning without having to say it clearly. So Zhao Guihua immediately heard the subtext in the words.
If we all go together, we can see what the Fan family is like now.
Although so many years have passed, they still remember this family. Although they haven't heard anything about their family in all these years, and haven't asked about this family, but when Yangjia Village is mentioned, they can still think of this family immediately.
After all, it is rare to find such a vicious family.
Although this family had nothing to do with them, He Lan was their neighbor after all, so everyone was quite indignant.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't think his family is doing very well."
Zhao Guihua: "Generally speaking, people who are immoral and have no moral integrity are thick-skinned and willing to take risks. They may not have a bad life."
If you put it that way, it is true.
However, Zhuang Zhixi still felt that his family was not living well.
When Mingmei came back and heard them discussing the long-lost Fan family, she sighed, "It's a pity that I can't go and watch the fun."
She really wanted to go and watch the fun, but unfortunately she couldn't.
Zhao Guihua: "I'll convey the spirit to you when I come back."
If you think about it, there is still a fundamental difference between the 1970s and the 1980s. Although you still need tickets to buy things now, there is a significant difference in clothing. The day after tomorrow came quickly. Li Weiwei borrowed a wool coat and combed his hair like a cow licked it.
If this were the 1970s, this kind of dress would be somewhat informal.
But now I think it's quite fashionable.
Aunt Wang, Zhao Guihua and Aunt Lian, three old ladies took Li Weiwei to the countryside alone. As the old saying goes, the eldest is simple-minded and the second is cunning, but this is not the case with his family. Li Weiwei is not cunning. He was very excited along the way.
But if there is anything similar, it is that people nowadays are still unwilling to find a rural girl. After all, there is still a big gap between urban and rural areas in this era. But Li Weiwei is okay.
He is not a person who insists on this. After all, his father is from the countryside.
Although the blind date was in Yang Lixin's hometown, Yang Lixin did not come because he had to go to work. Li Weiwei asked: "Shall we go to my grandparents' house?"
Aunt Wang: "Of course I have to go. How can you not go to your grandparents' house when you are here?"
Because Yang Lixin was a son-in-law, and Chef Li and Aunt Wang only had Li Fang as their child, they were particularly worried that Yang Lixin would say one thing and do another, so they were quite wary of Yang Lixin in the first few years of their marriage.
They were not happy for Yang Lixin to contact their family, fearing that he would be coaxed back by their family. They also kept their children from coming back. So although the two families were in-laws, they did not have much contact. Yang Lixin only came back once or twice a year, and that was because they had been married for a long time and their children had grown up.
Their family gradually calmed down, and the two families began to interact more frequently.
Aunt Wang: "This bag is for your grandparents."
They are indeed more relaxed in the city than in the countryside, so the gifts she brought are those that are hard to buy in the countryside without tickets. This is Zhao Guihua's first time to Yangjia Village, and she is somewhat curious. Li Weiwei led people to his grandparents' house. At this time, everyone is working. Now that the land has been divided into households, it is all their own work, so naturally they are diligent.
He shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma and grandpa, I'm Xiaowei, I'm here."
"Cousin?"
When the children of Li Weiwei's second uncle saw him, they quickly welcomed him in, and soon the Yang family came back. Although Yang Lixin's child was not close to him, he was still a grandson after all, and there was no conflict if they did not live together. The old couple of the Yang family liked him very much.
Aunt Wang introduced everyone to each other and explained the purpose of their visit.
Aunt Yang nodded in agreement: "You are right, the girl from the Tian family is indeed hardworking, and she is good at doing housework. There are many girls in this village, and she is one of the best."
"That's good, that's good."
However, the young man who called Li Weiwei cousin just now suddenly looked ugly, as if his mother had died.
Zhao Guihua: “???”
The young man hesitated to speak.
Aunt Wang and Li Weiwei didn't notice it, but Zhao Guihua did. She looked at the young man, and the young man avoided her gaze and pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
Zhao Guihua: “???”
There is a sense of foreboding.
She smiled and asked, "Does your second son have a girlfriend?"
Aunt Yang: "Not yet. He has looked at two candidates in a row and they both failed. I don't know what kind of person he wants to find."
Zhao Guihua: “…Oh.”
She smiled and said, "What kind of person are you looking for?"
Her chatter made the young man even more embarrassed. All of a sudden, he knelt down and said, "Grandma, I like Tian Fang. We have been in love for a long time."
He lowered his head and said, "We have been in love for a long time. It's her family who has always wanted her to marry in the city, but she is not that kind of person. We like each other. Cousin, please don't fight with me for Tian Fang. You admit that the conditions are so good that you can find anyone you want. Just give Tian Fang to me."
The scene was as quiet as if a pin had dropped.
Zhao Guihua: “…” She said, something was not right, and sure enough, it was really not right.
When this guy said this, Aunt Lian was shocked. Isn't this destroying his reputation? This is the person she introduced.
Aunt Wang even hesitated. She had just failed in a blind date the day before yesterday, and now she couldn't have failed in a blind date today? She had never thought that this would involve her family. She was at a loss.
This kind of thing is the internal affairs of the family, Zhao Guihua is not in a good position to interfere, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk in the village."
"You go, you go."
Zhao Guihua went out awkwardly, and as soon as she came out, she heard crackling sounds coming from the house.
Zhao Guihua: “…”
She felt that he shouldn't have come with her. She thought it was fine, but she never expected...
Zhao Guihua went out, thinking that she had come along because she thought things could work out, and she could also see the situation of the Fan family. But she never expected that the person who was dating Li Weiwei actually had a special relationship with his cousin.
Tell me about this.
She sat at the gate, saying she was taking a walk, but after all, she was an outsider, and it was not good to walk around in someone else's village. As soon as she sat down, someone came up to her and greeted her: "Big sister, are you here to visit relatives?"
Zhao Guihua: "Yeah then."
She didn't explain any more, and just said, "You live next door?"
"Yes, my name is Aunt Zaohua, and I live here. What happened to the Yang family?"
The sounds of quarreling in the house could be heard.
Zhao Guihua: "I don't really know..."
She didn't want to discuss this, so she simply said, "You guys are already working before the spring thaw has even started? You're too diligent."
“That’s what it’s like to farm your own land.”
Aunt Zaohua was also a talkative person. Perhaps because she saw that Zhao Guihua was from the city, she was also very curious and asked, "What kind of relative are you to the Yang family?"
Zhao Guihua: "From the Yang family's in-laws' side."
Aunt Zaohua said "oh" in understanding.
She was about to speak when she suddenly rushed out, grabbed the middle-aged man who was passing by, and said, "Fan Jianguo, where are you running to? When will you pay back the money you owe my family?"
Completely living up to her kindness to Zhao Guihua, she held the middle-aged man tightly.
When Zhao Guihua heard the name Fan Jianguo, she jumped up immediately. She looked Fan Jianguo up and down and saw that he was wearing a patched cotton jacket. She didn't know how long it had been since the clothes were washed, but they were already shiny.
His hair was messy and gray, and he looked very old. At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man, but looking at his face, he looked at least fifty years old.
Zhao Guihua's eyes sparkled. She remembered that the third child of his family had said that Fan Jianguo was good-looking and tall, much better than Bai Fendou. Of course, if he didn't have a good appearance, it would be impossible for him to coax one female comrade after another.
But now looking at this person, he is sloppy and dirty, and he looks listless, wretched and dirty. You can't say that you have worked in vain. He is not even as good as the old man of his family, Lao Nian'er.
The whole person looked like an opium smoker in the old society, with a hunched back and an untidy manner.
At this time, Fan Jianguo was grabbed by Aunt Zaohua. He smiled carefully and said flatteringly: "Aunt, please give me two days, please give me two more days. If I win money in a few days, I will definitely return it to you."
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you giving me back? You said this years ago."
Aunt Zaohua was furious: "How can you be like this? You are an old man who is so dishonest all day long. I don't care. You have to pay me back. What kind of people are you in the Fan family? You are so disgusting. If you don't pay me back today, I will not be polite."
Fan Jianguo laughed bitterly, but still put on a smile: "No, it's not that I don't want to pay back the money, I really don't have it. Look, my family didn't even buy a new piece of clothing during the Chinese New Year, so I really don't have anything..."
"You should gamble less, you..."
Aunt Zaohua was about to preach, but this man pushed someone away and ran away.
Aunt Zaohua was furious: "You bastard, I will kill you!"
She chased after him, but Fan Jianguo didn't care about anything else and ran away. However, his body seemed to be in poor condition. After running for a while, he fell flat on the ground with a bang. Blood immediately gushed out of his nose. But he didn't care about anything else, and barely got up and continued running.
Aunt Zaohua watched the man run away and stamped her feet in anger: "This bastard."
Zhao Guihua quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with this person? He borrowed money and didn't pay it back? This kind of person is the most disgusting."
Aunt Zaohua: "Who said it wasn't?"
She put her hands on her hips and said, "The Fan family is the troublemaker in our village. They are all wicked people and none of them are decent people. We dare not lend them money. This old man stole my chicken during the National Day last year, and the village chief sentenced him to pay me five yuan. Five yuan, and he still hasn't paid me back. Every time he sees me, he runs away. Don't you think he is a jerk?"
An old hen is a laying hen.
She was so angry that she said, "Look at this guy, he has no manners at all and he only knows how to gamble all day. There is nothing left in the house, even mice don't want to visit."
Zhao Guihua: "Doesn't he have a wife? I see he's not young anymore."
"Wife, why would a man like him marry? He did marry a wife in his early years, but his family was vicious at that time, and they schemed against the girl. They relied on her bad background to bully her. Later, they drove away the young wife, and didn't even want their own child. But later I heard that the child was gone, which made sense. The child was a premature baby, and it was hard to raise, and he suffered in his family. Later, the young wife left, and as a young wife with a bad background, I wonder how hard her life must have been. This child can't be established, right?"
Zhao Guihua's eyes flickered. This must be the rumor spread by Bai Fendou. At that time, she suggested that Bai Fendou and his friends report their household registration in the evening. Bai Fendou said that he wanted to spread a rumor, although it didn't sound auspicious.
But it doesn’t matter whether it sounds auspicious or not. What matters is how much trouble it saves the child in the future.
Zhao Guihua: "So he didn't look for her again?"
"Why didn't he find one? He found a girl whose family was an official, but before they got married, the girl saw through his family's true colors. In the end, it didn't work out. Later, he was fired for beating someone in the street. How can a person change so much? More than ten years ago, he was a famous young talent in our village, but after being fired, he became a street urchin in our village. Everyone hates him. He's really despised."
Although they are strangers, it is very easy for lesbians to start chatting with each other.
Aunt Zaohua: "His family lost money and it was hard for him to find a partner, so he ended up living with a widow. But it didn't last long, and the widow even despised him. He hasn't been able to find another one in these years. He's just an old bachelor."
Zhao Guihua laughed: "Isn't this what you deserve?"
"That's right. His family is crooked from top to bottom. The old couple are mean and vicious. His brothers are the same. They fight all day long for a few rooms in the house."
Aunt Zaohua seems very excited when she talks about other people's gossip.
She thought Zhao Guihua was a really nice person, very interactive, which aroused her greater interest in gossip. As for whether it was strange for Zhao Guihua to watch the fun, it was not strange. Nowadays, people don't have much fun. Even if they don't know each other, they can still talk about the family affairs for 300 episodes.
Speaking of the Fan family, they were notorious in their village. Back then, the Fan family thought they could make money by redeeming the man. But who would have thought that this was not the case. Fan Jianguo was fired. The family was in an uproar, because they had already emptied their savings to pay the compensation.
The other sons in the family were not happy about the compensation. They felt that their parents and Fan Jianguo should not have paid the compensation. They just went to jail. Saving three thousand yuan was better than anything else.
It was because of this that the family was turned upside down.
But the money was in the hands of the old couple at the time, and no matter how unwilling the son was, he could not stop it, because the old couple did not want to suffer.
Especially when Fan Jianguo also wanted to go home to farm, it stirred up a hornet's nest. The other brothers of the Fan family tried desperately to divide the family. Even the old couple of the Fan family were beaten by the other sons. There was no filial piety at all. They also thought about asking Guan Guiling and his wife to return the money. However, they didn't expect that Guan Guiling was also a ruthless person. She would rather hurt herself to blackmail the Fan family again.
The Fan family later paid compensation again.
But at the same time, they were also frightened by Guan Guiling. How could they not be afraid? This woman wanted money more than life. The Fan family looked domineering, and they really didn't dare to do anything when they encountered something. After all, they still cherished their lives. Every time they came back, they would curse, so the villagers knew everything.
It is certain that the money from Guan Guiling will not be returned, and the family dispute over separation will become even more serious.
They quarreled for nearly a year, and finally had no choice but to separate.
The old couple couldn't stand up to their three grown and strong sons, so they were kicked out of the house, and Fan Jianguo was also kicked out.
But even if they were kicked out, his family still had a hard time. His family used to be rich, and they could eat and drink well even if they worked lazily. But now it is not the case. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The whole family is lazy but still wants to eat and drink well. There are quarrels and fights at home all day long.
No matter which room it is, it's the same. There is no rest all day long, and it provides endless laughter for the villagers.
As for the old couple and Fan Jianguo, they moved to their old house, which was an adobe house.
The three of them lived there together. The brothers of the Fan family were unwilling to work, let alone Fan Jianguo. He found a widow and married her, but the two of them did not register, they just set up a table and considered themselves married.
However, Fan Jianguo was driven away by the widow after only half a year. The widow wanted to find a man to rely on, but Fan Jianguo wanted to rely on others, which was naturally not possible. Later, he "married" several times, but without exception, they did not last more than half a year.
After three or four years, he couldn't find the right person anymore and had nowhere to go so he had to return to his old house.
The three members of the family dislike each other, but they live under the same roof.
The old man of the Fan family passed away a few years ago because of the hard life. When he died, his sons refused to attend. Fan Jianguo didn't spend any money, just wrapped the body quickly and buried it. After the old man died, there are only Fan Jianguo and his old lady there.
Fan Jianguo is a man after all. If Mrs. Fan doesn't agree with him, he will beat people. Although he is timid outside, he is very fierce at home. Mrs. Fan probably also realized that the other sons are definitely not reliable.
Although Fan Jianguo was not good, he could still take care of the funeral affairs and was the only support. Now he coaxed Fan Jianguo very much and served his son like a master. In fact, his family had a daughter, but when Fan Lian saw the mess at home, she found a partner and would rather live a hard life and get married quickly and left. She never returned to her parents' home.
When Old Lady Fan went to look for her, Fan Lian also refused to acknowledge the marriage.
His family is cold and selfish at heart.
Old Lady Fan couldn't control her son or Fan Lian, so she could only rely on Fan Jianguo. But although she was like a servant in front of her son, she was very naughty outside, taking advantage of others and hating everyone.
No one in the whole village talked to her.
She was complacent and thought that everyone was afraid of her.
Fan Jianguo learned gambling from someone in a neighboring village three years ago, and he couldn't stop. He was a bully at home, and the first people he stole from were his relatives. His three brothers were often "visited" by him.
Anyway, he is not afraid of being beaten, and his brother cannot send him to jail, so he doesn't care now.
These three families were severely bullied by him. They were already poor, and he stole everything from them.
Now the second son of the Fan family divorced because of him, and his wife left with the children. The eldest son of the Fan family did not leave, but his sons have grown up and beat him when they see Fan Jianguo. So Fan Jianguo doesn't dare to go there much now.
The third son of the Fan family saw that he was the only one left, so he got a letter of introduction, sold his house, and took his wife and children to work in the south. It seemed that he was not going to come back.
Ten years ago, the Fan family lived a prosperous life thanks to their large population and the money they got from He Lan. They were one of the best families in the village, but now they are the worst. Fan Jianguo can't steal his brother's money now. He can only steal from the villagers. He doesn't dare to steal much, just a chicken or a fish.
Often get beaten.
He was only about thirty-four or thirty-five, but he looked over fifty, a dirty old bachelor who was annoying to everyone. Whenever he had a little money, he would go to the gambling den in the neighboring village.
Nine times out of ten, he loses when gambling, but this person is eager to add money to the game and never gets tired of it.
The Fan family is completely broken up.
Zhao Guihua hadn't heard the gossip here for ten years. This time, she felt even more relieved than she had imagined. They were all normal people, so they naturally couldn't stand seeing such a dirty villain. Now seeing them end up like this, Zhao Guihua could only curse them for what they deserved.
She was also glad that she had given advice at the time, so that Bai Qingqing would not be involved with the Fan family. Otherwise, if she was entangled by a gambling father, it would be a real death. Zhao Guihua once again sighed at her own wisdom.
Zhao Guihua felt relieved after eating the gossip from the Fan family, and Aunt Zaohua also felt refreshed after gossiping for a while. Both parties said that the chat was very pleasant and the other party was really a nice person.
Well, I ate too much melon.
Zhao Guihua had been talking for most of the morning, and Aunt Zaohua was thirsty. She said, "I'm going home to drink some water. Do you want some?"
Zhao Guihua: “No, no, no.”
She was mainly listening, and the one who was really telling the story was Aunt Zaohua.
Aunt Zaohua went home to drink water. Zhao Guihua looked back at the Yang family. Well, they hadn't figured out what was going on yet. Her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply didn't go into the yard and ran to the public toilet. She saw it when she entered the village.
Zhao Guihua walked all the way to the toilet. There were not many people there and it looked quite clean.
She muttered, "This countryside isn't dirty."
Actually, Zhao Guihua was wrong. The reason why this place is not dirty is because no one uses it. Now that each family has their own land, everyone keeps the land within their family. If you can go home to use the toilet, you will never waste it for the village.
This also needs to be used to feed the fields.
If you can use it at home, you definitely won't go to a public toilet.
This is naturally clean since no one uses it.
Zhao Guihua entered the room. Before she could untie her belt, she suddenly felt the toilet door being hit. Soon, a man rushed in with a knife in his hand. He pointed the knife directly at Zhao Guihua and said viciously, "Robbery! Hand over your money!"
Zhao Guihua: “!!!”
Upon seeing this, wow! This was no one else but the gambler they had been chatting about for the whole morning - Fan Jianguo.
Fan Jianguo smiled grimly. He had been eyeing this person for a long time. An old lady from the city must be rich!
Fan Jianguo looked at Zhao Guihua fiercely and said, "Hand over all the money you have!"
Zhao Guihua: Mingmei, help! (End of chapter)
