Chapter 215 Isn’t there one here
In fact, even later on, this kind of address is very casual. Just don't call people "dad" or "mom" unless necessary. The others are just polite nouns.
But Sanni felt that the "Auntie" Qi Jinzhou called her was different from the way people usually called acquaintances on the street. But she couldn't put her finger on what was different, and even if she could, she couldn't say it.
Sanni frowned and looked at him for a long time, "Aren't you... cold?"
Qi Jinzhou looked at his upper body, then at Sanni, tilted his head, and asked in a voice that both of them could hear, "Shy?"
"You're so shy! In the fields in the summer, everyone except the women is shirtless." Sanni rolled her eyes. "If you're not cold, just eat like this."
As he said this, he picked up the bricks lying nearby and piled them up to serve as stools. There was no other way, there were too many people.
Qi Jinzhou thought about it and put on the sweater. The wind was blowing away the sweat, and it was getting colder and colder. There was no need to risk himself just to look cool.
Liang Shengdi arrived on time. She went to the mountain again today, but she didn't have a tricycle, so she couldn't dig much with the basket she carried. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Qi Jinzhou.
"Hey, isn't this the guy from the same street?"
Qi Jinzhou:?
Chen Chunhua: (ーー;)
This old lady never cares about anyone's life or death. You can say it's the young man who saved Sanni, or the young man in the city, or the young driver! Even the young man who uses tap water is better than the young man who is not on the same road!
She quickly stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Liang Shengdi's mouth, "Mom! What are you talking about? Sit down and eat! It's cold, the food is getting cold!"
Liang Shengdi said "Oh" and sat down next to Qi Jinzhou, directing Sanni to serve her food. "How old is the boy?"
Qi Jinzhou just heard Sanni calling Liang Shengdi "Grandma", so he answered politely while holding a bowl of rice.
"Grandma, I'm 24."
Liang Shengdi smacked her lips. "You're 24 now, so you should have a partner, right?"
Qi Jinzhou smiled and said, "No, grandma, I'm a bachelor."
"Bachelor? Great! Bachelor is great!" Liang Shengdi was instantly overjoyed, and even the big white rice in her hand could not tempt her anymore.
The men around her were all grinning from ear to ear. They always waited for the old lady at lunch! When she was around, there was always fun. Meals were always lively and boisterous.
"Auntie, look at what you're saying. How can being single be good? There's no one to care about you back home. The 24-year-old boys in our village have children who can go out to play! Do you still want to say they're not good?"
"Country people get married early! You kids all stop studying early! What else can you do if you don't get married? Xiao Qi, you must be an educated person, right?"
Qi Jinzhou: "It's just a high school graduate."
"Look!" Liang Shengdi slapped her thigh. "High school graduates! How many are there in our village? From your generation, there are only Fuqiang and Sanni's father, right? For younger people, there's only Jinshui's son. Who else is there?"
"Shuying is about to graduate from high school, and she may become a college student by then. And my fifth sister may become a normal school student in the second half of this year." Sanni sat opposite, next to Chen Chunhua, and quickly replied to the old lady's words.
Liang Shengdi tutted, "I know all the girls in my family are good. I'm asking about boys now!" She added, "A boy around your age!"
Ma Sanni: ...
Everyone thought about it and thought it was amazing. It seemed like the boys in the village were just average at studying. But the men didn't want to discuss this potentially embarrassing topic, so they simply changed the subject while eating.
"Hey, Xiao Qi, you're already 24, why don't you have a partner? You're a driver, you have a good job, you earn a lot of money, you're handsome, and you're a nice person. Don't you think anyone is introducing you to someone? Aren't your parents anxious?"
Qi Jinzhou's expression remained unchanged, he was still smiling, but what he said made everyone silent for a moment.
"My parents passed away early, and my grandparents are gone too. I'm the only one left in my family, and no one is pushing me."
"My family background isn't very good, so not many people introduce me to potential partners."
All the grown men opened their mouths, not knowing how to continue. This kid...his life isn't going well either!
Only Liang Shengdi saw a completely different focus.
Bad class background? You are already a driver. No matter whether your class background is good or not, people in the countryside are all farmers. Since you can't find a partner in the city, why don't you come to the countryside to find one?
No parents anymore? Then wouldn't it be a good opportunity for me to marry into your family?
She wanted to ask directly, but Chen Chunhua and Sanni were staring at her intently, especially Sanni. Her expression was simply unbearable! It felt like she was going to pounce on her and cover her mouth if she said another word.
There was no way. As relatives, they knew Liang Shengdi too well.
If no one else was here today, it would be fine. At most, I would lose face. But there were so many grown men here! They were the most indiscriminate people. Whatever Liang Shengdi said now would probably spread by evening.
No matter how much Sanni ignored the gossip, she was still forced to jump into the river.
Liang Shengdi seemed to react suddenly and swallowed the words that were about to come to her throat, but then she felt her tongue itchy, so she changed her words and said something else.
"What era is this? What's the point of class? You're such a good guy, you're sure to find a partner! I'll see if there's any older woman who doesn't mind, and I'll introduce you to one."
Liang Shengdi's words opened up everyone's conversation again, and the atmosphere instantly returned to normal.
"That's right, a good guy like you can't find a wife?"
"Hey! Xiao Qi! Don't look at my aunt's age, she can row her sailboat all the way to the city without stopping! She knows a lot of people walking around the streets, and maybe this job can be done if we give it to her!"
"That's true! The people I know are all here to buy and sell vegetables. They're the most well-informed! Let me tell you! You city people are too cunning! What's the point of not knowing what's in the family?! Aren't we all doing business now?"
"Yeah! It's even worse than our country! Ten years ago, class background didn't matter! Even less so now!"
"Hey! That's right! Xiao Qi! If you can't find one in the city, you can also look for a wife in the countryside!"
"People in the city use food coupons to make a living. You marry a country girl and bring her back home. Do you think you can feed two people with just one food coupon? Where's your brain?!"
Qi Jinzhou finished a bowl of rice while listening to everyone discussing himself. He put down his empty bowl and wiped his mouth.
"I really don't mind the countryside in the city. At most, I can just spend a little more money to buy food from the countryside. I can still afford this amount of food."
The men immediately started to cheer.
"Auntie! Then you have to look for her carefully! There are so many good girls in our country!"
"That's right! Hey! There's one right here! Our Sanni is also a very good girl!"
