When Li Qiumei turned around, she saw her cousin Zhou Xuejuan standing not far away and looking at her.
"Qiumei, why are you here?"
Li Qiumei walked over with a smile: “Cousin, my friend lives here, I came over for dinner.
I remember your family doesn’t live in this neighborhood.”
Zhou Xuejuan glanced at Yang Huaihua and the others before speaking: "My sister-in-law lives here, and we came here to have New Year's dinner.
Qiu Mei, I went back to Beishan County yesterday, and my grandma told me that she has arranged a blind date for you on the fifth day of the New Year, and that you have to go back to Beicheng on the sixth day.
You go back and take a look first, and I'll keep an eye on it for you.
There is a suitable introduction for you.”
This cousin from my aunt's grandmother's family works in a textile factory. She rarely goes back to her parents' home and has almost no contact with Li Qiumei.
Li Qiumei was somewhat flattered by this sudden show of goodwill.
"Thank you, cousin! Thank you, cousin!"
Although privately she didn't think that this cousin would really introduce her to a good man.
After all, her grandmother introduced him to Li Qiuxiang even though she knew that he was a prisoner.
But on the surface, Li Qiumei was still busy thanking Zhou Xuejuan.
After Zhou Xuejuan left, Li Qiumei realized that Yang Huaihua and the others were still standing at the corridor entrance waiting for her.
"Why haven't you gone up yet?"
Yang Huaihua took her hand and said, “Qiumei, we are waiting for you.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you're going back to Beishan County for a blind date?"
Yang Yingsong sighed, "Qiumei, why do you always go far away instead of near?
Instead of running back to Beishan County for a blind date, why not go with me?
We've been childhood sweethearts and know each other very well. Look at me."
Li Qiumei sneered: "Yang Cheche, do you have any misunderstandings about childhood sweethearts?
We only knew each other in junior high school, so we can't be called childhood sweethearts."
Yang Huaihua snorted, "You're quite good at recommending yourself.
But, our Qiu Mei can marry a young man, why would she want to marry someone like you who is married twice?"
Yang Yingsong immediately retorted: "You and I are both second-married people, how can you look down on yourself?
Besides, that young man is not as caring as someone like me who is getting married for the second time.
A young man who is still unmarried at this age is either ugly or too poor to make ends meet.
Another type is those who have just been released from prison..."
The two people argued endlessly and didn't stop until they got home.
Yang Huaihua looked at Cheng Zhiqian's dark face and burst into laughter.
Li Qiumei just picked up the broom and wanted to sweep the floor when Yang Yingsong immediately snatched it away.
"Qiumei, we are both patients and need to follow the doctor's orders to rest.
Let the two of them who have good hands and feet do this kind of work.
Come, let's sit down and talk about life."
Li Qiumei also laughed: "Yang Cheche, I told you not to drink but you refused to listen.
I'm drunk now, and you're here to talk to me about life on New Year's Day."
Yang Yingsong was furious: "Qiumei, I'm not drunk, I'm sober.
If you don't believe me, ask the team leader and Mr. Hua if I look like someone who's drunk."
Cheng Zhiqian snorted: "You've had too much to drink. Let's go, I'll take you home."
Yang Huaihua also nodded: "I drank too much, and my words were all messed up."
“I didn’t, I really didn’t drink too much.
Qiu Mei... "
Cheng Zhiqian covered Yang Yingsong's mouth and pushed him out.
Li Qiumei and Yang Huaihua were watching TV when someone knocked on the door.
Yang Huaihua opened the door: "Miss, is Qiu Mei here?"
It’s Second Aunt who’s here.
Li Qiumei quickly stood up: "Second Aunt, come and sit down."
Second Aunt took Li Qiumei's hand and said, "Qiumei, go to Second Aunt's house and chat with her.
Li Qiumei was just about to say that they would go another day when her second aunt pulled her out.
It seems that something is going on.
"Sister Hua, I'm going out for a while."
Yang Huaihua nodded, took a box of pastries from the table and handed it to Li Qiumei.
When they came downstairs, Second Aunt pulled Li Qiumei and slowed down their pace.
"Qiumei, your second uncle has an old friend who he gets along well with, and his wife has been dead for several years.
I have a son who is the same age as you. He works in Lincheng. He is an honest and decent man, and he looks good, but he has never gotten married.
His relationship with his father is not good either, and he hardly comes back in the past two years.
Although his father has a bad character, this child has a good character and does not resemble his father at all.
I think he inherited his mother's kindness.
This year, his father brought him to my house to celebrate the New Year, hoping that we would persuade him to get married quickly.
I was thinking of asking you to go and meet him. If you like him, you can go with him to live in Lincheng.
Stay away from it, so that the Jinshu family won't bother you every other day.
Moreover, if you marry him, there will be no mother-in-law to control you, and you can be the head of the household.
As for Lao Qin, he has a job and will receive a pension in the future.
There's no need to worry about him at all, just let him do whatever he wants, and at most I'll just have to take care of it when he's sent up the mountain."
Li Qiumei felt warmed, this was truly good for her.
Unfortunately, she never thought about getting married.
"Second Aunt, I'm a divorced woman, and people might dislike me. I might even make you feel like a nobody, so forget it."
Second Aunt smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already told them both.
They agreed to meet.
Let’s go and meet him.”
Uh, okay then.
Considering Second Aunt's kindness, I'll just go through the motions.
Anyway, given the other party's conditions, it is absolutely impossible to find a second marriage in this era.
Maybe they were just giving Second Aunt a face, but Second Aunt took it seriously.
Second Aunt pulled Li Qiumei upstairs and said, “I’ve come here several times in the past two days, but you and your friend are not here.
Just now, I heard Jinguo say that when he took Ruirui downstairs to set off firecrackers, he seemed to see your friend, so I came over to take a look.
I didn’t expect you to come back.”
As soon as she entered the door, all eyes were on Li Qiumei, which frightened her so much that she was at a loss.
After greeting everyone, Second Aunt pulled Li Qiumei to sit across from her on the sofa: "Qiumei, have some candy."
Li Qiumei calmed down and felt a little contempt for herself. She had lived many lives, but was still so naive.
She looked up and saw that the other person was indeed a man with an honest and kind face.
Seeing Li Qiumei looking at him, the man named Qin Mingqiang turned his head away shyly, not daring to look her in the eye.
Li Qiumei glanced around and saw her second uncle and the Qin father and son sitting on the sofa. Zhao Dongyan was sitting on a chair next to the sofa, crossing her legs and watching TV.
Qian Rui was eating the box of pastries she had brought.
Qian Jinguo was washing dishes in the kitchen, and his second aunt also went in to help.
Second Uncle spoke: "Dongyan, why don't you guys play poker with Qiumei for a while."
Zhao Dongyan replied: "Okay."
Second uncle called Qian Jinguo again: "Jinguo, let your mother wash the dishes, and you come out and play poker with Mingqiang and the others."
Qian Jinguo also obediently put down his bowl and came over.
