"Dad, Mom... " Zhao Tianyu turned around and was about to ask Zhao Qingshan what his mother meant by this.
"Hurry up and wash the dishes. Don't try to be lazy." Zhao Qingshan stood up and walked into the house.
He had to go and check it out quickly. Meiyun didn't look very well just now. He hoped she wouldn't get mad at that silly boy.
"Xiao Yu, calm down and think about how much the Liang family has received from our family in the past few years, and how much they have given back. If you still can't figure it out, come and ask your sister, and I will help you solve it." After Zhao Zhenzhu said this, she took the two children back to the house.
Some things you have to figure out yourself.
Zhao Tianyu didn't wake up, and no matter how the people around him tried to persuade him, it was useless.
"Oh." Zhao Tianyu responded and quickly went to clean up the dishes.
It's almost time to go to work.
The supply and marketing cooperative has a lot of work to do recently. Zhao Tianyu has already taken the whole morning off, so he can’t be late in the afternoon.
Let’s talk about Liang Xiaohe.
After Liang Xiaohe went out, she hurried towards her parents' home.
The Zhao family is on the east side of the town, and the Liang family is on the west side of the town, both of which take more than ten minutes to walk to.
Before Liang Xiaohe entered the door, the Liang family of three were eating and chatting.
There was a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of pickled cabbage on the Liang family’s dining table.
Liang Tuyou and his son were sitting opposite each other drinking, each of them taking a sip of wine while eating a peanut, looking very comfortable.
"Son, how is things going between you and Juanzi? When are you going to have the wedding?" Liang Tuyou asked.
Liang Xiaobao is seventeen this year.
In rural areas, most people get married early.
The seventeen-year-old boy has reached the age to get married.
The Liang family was notorious in the town, and the matchmakers in the town avoided the Liang family. It was probably impossible for Liang Xiaobao to find a girl in the town as his wife.
Therefore, Liang Tuyou, like his mother, turned his attention to the villages around Taohua Town.
Every March 7th is the market day in Taohua Town.
Villagers from surrounding areas would come to the town to attend the market.
In the past six months, Liang Tuyou asked Liang Xiaobao to wander the streets on market days to see if there are any rural girls he likes.
Juanzi is the “target” that Liang Xiaobao set his eyes on last month.
"Juanzi's mother said that I was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. I have no job and my family doesn't even have a decent house, yet I still want to marry a beautiful girl like Juanzi." Liang Xiaobao said dejectedly.
"What? I don't even mind that they are from the countryside! It's a great advantage for them that rural people can marry into the town, okay?" Liang Tuyou was angry.
"Dad, it's also your and Mom's fault. Why can't you earn more money and build me a big tiled house?" Liang Xiaobao said sullenly.
The Liang family has only three mud houses with thatched roofs. They were built by Liang Tuyou's parents. Over the past few decades, the thatch on the roof has been replaced countless times, and the walls are also very old.
In the past, Liang Xiaobao didn’t think it was shameful to live in such a house.
There are many large courtyards where people live in the town, but their house has its own door and door, so at least it is quiet.
After being hit by Juanzi's mother a few days ago, Liang Xiaobao suddenly felt that the house he had lived in for more than ten years was no longer satisfactory.
"Oh my, Xiaobao, you can't say that! You should blame your grandparents for not leaving us any fortune. Your dad and I worked so hard to raise you and your five sisters. It wasn't easy." Jiang Yue'e didn't want to take the blame, nor did she dare to say that Liang Tuyou was lazy, so she had to pass the blame to her deceased parents-in-law.
"After all, it's still a work issue. If Xiaobao can have a job, it will be much easier to find a daughter-in-law." Liang Tuyou squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said.
Liang Tuyou is also unwilling to admit that he is lazy.
Life is only a few decades long. He is not here to suffer.
"Everyone knows that it's easy to find a wife if you have a job? The problem is that we don't have any powerful relatives! Except for my fifth sister, my four sisters all married country bumpkins." Liang Xiaobao said with a frown.
Liang Xiaobao has been accustomed to asking his sisters for whatever he wants since he was a child.
Why not ask your parents? Because even if you ask, there is no answer.
"I'll ask your fifth sister to ask some other day. Maybe she can get you a job." Liang Tuyou raised his wine glass and took a sip, then said slowly.
"Does Xiaohe's husband have this ability? I heard that he is just the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative! His sister is still farming in the countryside. Would she think of giving her job to our Xiaobao when she has one?" Jiang Yue'e asked.
"It's not that fool Zhao Tianyu, but the one in front." Liang Tuyou looked proud.
"Xiaobao's father, that incident is over a long time ago, and Xiaohe has got the job. You can't create trouble! What if Zhao Tianyu knows about Xiaohe's past and wants to divorce her?" Jiang Yue'e exclaimed.
"Then what do you say we should do? If you don't let Xiaohe go to find him, do you have the ability to find a job for Xiaobao?" Liang Tuyou scolded.
"Yes! Mom, I am the pillar of this family. As long as I am well, you and Dad can live a good life in the future. Please stop making trouble." Liang Xiaobao looked impatient.
“Then...then..." Jiang Yue'e glanced at her beloved son and the words of objection came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.
There are no capable relatives in their family.
The families that the daughters married into could only help them a little with food and drink, and could not help them at all with work.
Although bringing up the past would hurt Liang Xiaohe, in Jiang Yue'e's heart, Liang Xiaobao was more important.
"Okay, stop talking so much. Go and fry a plate of eggs and bring it to us. It'll just be a plate of peanuts and a glass of wine." Liang Tuyou crossed his legs and made arrangements.
"Oh!" Jiang Yue'e responded, and she gulped down half a bowl of porridge with the pickles in the bowl, then got up to fry eggs for her husband and son.
"Dad, I want a regular job, not a temporary one." Liang Xiaobao made a high request right away.
"Okay, Dad will let Liang Xiaohe do it." Liang Tuyou agreed immediately.
Liang Xiaohe happened to walk in at this time and heard the end of a sentence.
"Dad, what do you want me to do?" Liang Xiaohe asked.
"Come on, come on. Xiaohe, sit down first." Liang Tuyou pointed to the stool where Jiang Yue'e had just sat and said.
It was the first time that Liang Xiaohe saw such a friendly father. She was a little excited and sat down quickly.
The lunch box in the cloth bag hit the dining table, making a crisp sound.
"Sister, what did you bring back today?" Liang Xiaobao's eyes were attracted by the cloth bag and asked.
Liang Xiaohe quickly took out the lunch box and put it on the table, saying happily: "This is the braised pork that Tianyu made for lunch today. It tastes good. I'll bring it back for you to try."
"Braised pork?"
Before Liang Tuyou could say anything, Liang Xiaobao reached out and pulled the lunch box in front of him, and opened the lid impatiently.
A strong meaty aroma wafted out, and Liang Tuyou and Liang Xiaobao couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Sister, why is there only so little? Are you giving us leftovers?" Liang Xiaobao asked with a long face.
