Chapter 84 Xue Guixian's Visit
The day before Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lin Su'e sent Zhao Zhenxin to her eldest brother's house and asked her eldest sister-in-law to take care of him for a day.
Early in the morning.
She set off for Pu County on her bicycle.
Just entered the gate of the family compound.
He Mian's voice came from directly above: "Sister Su'e, you are here. No need to come up. I will let Guixian come down right away."
Lin Su'e looked up and saw He Mian standing on the balcony waving at her.
She waved, "Okay."
He took two steps back toward the wall so as not to block the door.
Several middle-aged women were washing clothes in the yard. A familiar one who was standing nearby asked her, "Big sister, I've seen you several times. Your name is Lin Su'e. You're a matchmaker, right?"
"My eldest sister guessed correctly."
Lin Su'e smiled warmly and took the initiative to say, "Big sister, if there are young men or women of appropriate age in your family or in the families of your relatives or friends, you can ask me to introduce them to you. I will definitely introduce someone suitable."
The middle-aged woman smiled cheerfully: "Sure, sure."
Then, he approached Lin Su'e and whispered in her ear: "Guixian was also raised by me, and she calls me aunt. Can you tell me whether the man's family is well-off and what he does?"
Lin Su'e glanced at her and deliberately dragged out her words: "The man, he is..."
Not far away, Xue Guixian called her, "Auntie."
Lin Su'e immediately turned around and answered loudly: "Hey~"
It was seen that Xue Guixian had curled her long hair into curls at some point, and had her hair half-loose, pinned up with a pearl hairpin, with no other decorations.
She was wearing a round-neck spotted white dress, a pair of white socks that reached her ankles, a pair of black round-toed leather shoes, and a light blue canvas bag slung across her body.
The overall combination is elegant, gentle and bookish, which dilutes her own cold and alienated feeling.
With this outfit, she looks like a good girl that the elders would like. It can be seen that Xue Guixian attaches great importance to this visit to Zhao Hehua's home.
To this.
Lin Su'e praised with 70% truth and 30% falsehood, her eyes shining: "Oh my, Guixian is dressed so beautifully today, like a little fairy. Hehua's uncle and aunt will definitely fall in love with you at first sight."
70% true, which is a sincere praise for Xue Guixian.
Her outfit today is really eye-catching. It's true: there are only lazy women in the world, but no ugly women.
The 3 points were fake to get rid of the gossipy questions from the elder sister.
Since the Xue family did not take the initiative to make it public, as a matchmaker, she certainly couldn't just talk nonsense.
Hearing this.
Xue Guixian's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "Aunt, you're joking. I just wore it casually."
Lin Su'e waved her hand: "You are being modest, aren't you?"
Xue Guixian blushed and was speechless.
Lin Su'e was also teased by her, and talked about business: "Okay, let's talk on the way, let's go."
"Um."
Turning around, the elder sister looked at her, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Lin Su'e smiled at her apologetically and said, "Let's go, big sister. We'll talk next time."
The eldest sister nodded in disappointment: "...Okay."
…
Lin Su'e planned to ride her on horseback.
Xue Guixian said, "Aunt, how about I ride it and you sit in the back?"
Hearing this, Lin Su'e smiled and shook her head: "Let me do it. You are dressed so beautifully today, you can't ride until you are sweaty~"
Hearing this.
Xue Guixian did not insist: "Well, thank you for your hard work, auntie."
Lin Su'e didn't care: "How heavy can you be? Come up quickly."
"good."
"Hold on tight, let's go."
After leaving the city, Lin Su'e started to find something to talk about. She had no idea what to do for a moment, but when she saw what Xue Guixian was holding, she had an idea: "Guixian, you brought gifts too? What are they?"
Xue Guixian answered honestly: "Yes, my parents prepared it. It's nothing special, just some dried seafood, a box of malted milk and a box of longan."
Lin Su'e sighed: "Wow, these are not seen in the countryside, your parents are really thoughtful."
According to the customs here.
The man has to bring a gift when he goes to the woman's house, but the woman usually does not bring a gift when she goes to the man's house.
After all, the man has to take the initiative.
The woman should be reserved.
Unexpectedly, Xue Guixian came to my house and brought so many good things.
But, on second thought, Lin Su'e understood a little: their marriage was different from an ordinary one. Xue Guixian was seeking a son-in-law, while Zhao Hehua was going to be a live-in son-in-law.
Xue Guixian is in the male role, so she has to be more polite.
Moreover, this can also express their family's importance to Zhao Hehua and his family, and reassure them. This is the same as worrying that their daughter will not live a good life after getting married.
Comparing Zhao Hehua to a "daughter", Lin Su'e found it a little funny.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Xue Guixian said seriously: "It should be. My parents said that we will be a family from now on, so we must be filial to our elders."
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e thought to herself: Xue Zhixiong and He Mian are really good people~
She stopped, turned her head and said to Xue Guixian, "Give these things to me, I'll hang them on the handlebars so you don't have to carry them."
Xue Guixian nodded: "Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome."
…
The other side.
Guanqiao Village, Sun Mingcai’s home.
There are a total of 7 people in the Sun family, including the couple Sun Mingcai and Wang Ping, their nephew Zhao Hehua, and their own 4 children, the eldest son Sun Decai, the second son Sun Defu, the third son Sun Deyun and the youngest daughter Sun Dehua.
now.
The whole family was dressed neatly and cleanly, waiting for Xue Guixian and Lin Su'e to come home.
Wang Ping was restless: "It's almost 10 o'clock, is the person coming soon?"
Sun Mingcai nodded: "It should be about the same."
Wang Ping wanted to go and see, but she felt it was not a good idea, so she directed her little girl, saying, "Little sister, you have seen Aunt Lin San, go to the village head and see, if you see anyone, come back and let me know."
Sun Dehua nodded and ran out.
Wang Ping looked around and found that her eldest son's feet were dirty. She immediately scolded him, "Big brother, where did the mud get on your shoes? Go wash them!"
Sun Decai lowered his head quickly: "It must have been an accident. I'll go clean it up right away."
"Go quickly."
Wang Ping waved her hand and called her second son, "Second son, go get the broom and sweep the floor..."
Sun Defu nodded: "Oh, okay."
Wang Ping looked at her third son again: "Third son, you..."
Sun Mingcai finally couldn't help but hold her back and said, "Okay, there's only a mud spot on the boss's shoes. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice it. We cleaned the house yesterday and it's very clean. Don't panic."
Hearing this, Wang Ping glared at him in response: "What do you know? The girl is from the city, and her family lives in an apartment building with cement floors. I'm afraid this is her first time living in a mud house like ours, so we have to clean it up to avoid leaving a bad impression on her."
"I'm doing this for your nephew~!"
Sun Mingcai couldn't argue with him, so he admitted his mistake from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault, old lady, you did the right thing."
Sun Decai and his brothers looked at each other and dared not speak.
Zhao Hehua sat quietly on a stool by the door with his head slightly lowered. Everyone thought he was nervous, but when they looked closer, they could see that he was actually distracted.
