Li Yutong returned to the village. Her father Li Hongwei and her mother Liu Lanxiang had contracted several acres of land and felt it was not cost-effective to hire people to work on the land, so they made Li Yutong work for three days before letting her go to the county town.
Otherwise, they would say, "You go to the county town all day and have nothing to do. There are so many things to do at home, but you don't do any of them. Do you want to tire us to death?"
Li Yutong said: "Our family is not short of money, you can hire someone to do it..."
Her mother Liu Lanxiang scolded her: "How much does it cost to hire someone for a day? Calculate it from beginning to end. When we sell the grain during the autumn harvest, the little money we earn is all used as wages. Does that mean we have worked for nothing all year round?"
Li Yutong had suffered enough from the hardships of farm work in her previous life. Now that she had money in this life, she didn't want to work so hard anymore, but she couldn't change her parents' ideas.
I have said it many times, if you look after a store in the county town and pay them a few hundred yuan a month, you can earn several thousand yuan a year. It is much better than farming, and it is easy and profitable.
No, the couple just didn't want to: "We are rural people, if we don't farm, what else can we do?"
"If you say that, then everyone will go to the city to work. Who will farm the land? What will people across the country eat?"
They think farmers are really great!
Rural areas have also made a lot of contributions to the country.
But only a few city dwellers would thank the rural people for growing food. City people buy the food with money and think that they are exchanging the fruits of your labor, so there is no need to thank the rural people for growing the crops.
People don’t talk to you about feelings or emotions.
What's more, they really don't like living in the city and dealing with city people.
Li Yutong had no choice but to work at home for three days. It was her grandmother Chen Xiaoying who felt something was wrong and called her back.
In the evening, Li Yutong took a shower and wanted to have a good sleep.
Her grandmother said with a complicated expression: "Your aunt is here to see me."
Li Yutong was drying her hair while curiously asking, "I didn't expect she would actually come. What's the matter?"
She found that her grandmother Chen Xiaoying didn't seem angry.
Could it be a good thing?
Chen Xiaoying sighed, "She came here to propose marriage to you. She even took me to see the man. He looks gentle and refined, a little taller than your father, and has a fair complexion. You can tell at first glance that he is a learned man. I heard that he worked in Hai City in his early years and had been to Jing City. People said that he had seen the world..."
Speaking of which.
Li Yutong smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm still in school. It will take me several years to graduate."
Then, she couldn't help but remain silent for a moment. Her grandma had never known that Shen Jiaze had been contacting her. The two of them didn't say anything about the meaning.
But in the eyes of her roommates, she had a boyfriend. She didn't know how to explain it, but she had to say that she was attracted to Shen Jiaze. He was good-looking, talented, steady, and gentle. Most importantly, she felt comfortable talking to him. He didn't have to accommodate her, and she didn't have to consider him. It was very natural.
When other people fall in love, there are always occasional frictions and even quarrels at the beginning because of personality, habits, hobbies, etc.
But they never had.
"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu?" Seeing that her granddaughter was in a daze and didn't even bother to wipe her hair, Chen Xiaoying called her a few times.
Li Yutong came to her senses: "Grandma, are you done?"
Chen Xiaoying said helplessly: "That's all. Tell me, are you willing to meet him?"
Li Yutong was shocked that her grandmother actually wanted her to go on a blind date while she was still in school.
She was in a daze just now and didn't hear the key point.
"Grandma, do you also think that guy is good? What do you like about him?" she asked curiously.
Chen Xiaoying sighed, "Haven't we talked about your future marriage before? I want to find you a local man who I know well and whose family conditions are similar to ours. He should be a young man who is five years older than you, looks energetic, and is steady, responsible, and responsible. That's about right."
"You see the kind of things shown on TV, sometimes they love, sometimes they don't love, they cry, they quarrel, they get married, they quarrel again, and then there are mistresses who interfere, and the mother-in-law quarrels with the mother-in-law, it's endless. We can't stand that in our daily lives."
Chen Xiaoying has always believed that it would be good for Li Yutong to find someone like Wang Tianlei.
Li Yutong listened and smiled: "Grandma, but..."
"Don't say buts. He has really good conditions. He works in a hospital. The director is his uncle. His uncle has only one daughter. I heard that she takes special care of him. His father is the leader of the Education Bureau. His mother has a gentle personality. He has only one sister. After she married in Hai City, she usually doesn't come back."
“It seems there is nothing to complain about.”
"Besides, we are just on a blind date. Just one look doesn't mean we will get married."
Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying had good intentions. After saying so much, she thought of someone and her mood became complicated: "Shen Jiaze is a good guy, but he doesn't look like someone like us who lives with a family. He's like a big star in a TV show."
"I just think that if Wang Tianlei is a good guy, you should not let yourself be delayed because of Shen Jiaze who is out of your reach."
"Grandma, what about me going to school?" Li Yutong saw that her grandma was serious: "Can he wait for me?"
"Your aunt said that we are not far from the provincial capital, and Wang Tianlei has his own car. You two can meet every day if you want." Chen Xiaoying said.
She also didn't want her granddaughter to fall in love while she was in college, but Wang Tianlei's conditions were exactly within her ideal range, as if he was tailor-made for her granddaughter, and she was reluctant to give up.
"Xiao Yu, how about waiting until tomorrow and I'll take you to find someone to tell you what your marriage fate is like in this life?"
In her previous life, the granddaughter lived a miserable life which ended in divorce.
Of course, there is no need to consider the grandson-in-law in this life.
Li Yutong lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She had good intentions. If she missed Wang Tianlei, who had such good conditions, she and her husband would have a hard time in the future. They might wonder if they missed the destined one from the beginning.
"Okay, grandma, let's do the math first."
Just take it as a way to comfort her.
Chen Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep.
Li Yutong looked at her grandmother's back and felt touched and amused. Her grandmother had no feelings for her grandfather all her life, so the ideal marriage is that the couple respects and understands each other and works together to live a good life, not the love stories shown on TV.
She didn't care, it was just a blind date anyway. She was also a little curious, why did her smart aunt not give such a good candidate to someone else but to her?
People always exchange interests. Her grandmother has lived in the county for more than ten years and is already rich. She lives so close to her aunt, but her aunt has never come to see her, which shows that her grandmother is rich. In the eyes of her aunt, whose sons are all working in the government, she is just an old woman who sells food. She doesn't need her, so there is no need to build a relationship with her or talk about feelings with her.
Then why was such a popular guy like Wang Tianlei brought to her?
Li Yutong was puzzled. It seemed that she had to go and meet him to find out what was going on.
