When Ma Xiao'e heard these words, her face suddenly turned red.
She reached out and quickly pulled Li Qiuping's arm, whispering, "Mom, let's go quickly."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go buy some vegetables." Li Qiuping said to those people with a smile.
Although it is already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the vegetable market is still open.
Li Qiuping also really liked Jiang Ling, her future son-in-law, and bought a lot of meat and vegetables.
Although my family bought a lot of New Year's goods during the Spring Festival, it was not enough.
"Mom, you bought too much. We can't finish it." Ma Xiao'e saw that her mother wanted to bring all the food from the vegetable market back, and couldn't help but persuade her.
Seeing this, Li Qiuping reached out and poked Ma Xiaoe on the head. "You silly girl, it's your fault for not telling Comrade Xiao Jiang in advance that he would bring you back. Not only did we worry about you, but we also didn't prepare any extra food."
Ma Xiao'e didn't know how to explain it to her. After all, she and Jiang Ling were just dating temporarily and it was not time to get married yet.
She hadn't originally planned to introduce Jiang Ling to her parents, but this was just a coincidence, and she didn't know what to do?
On the way back, Li Qiuping asked her daughter with a look of disappointment: "Xiao'e, tell me the truth. How far have you and Comrade Xiao Jiang gotten? When will he come to our house to propose marriage?"
Li Qiuping was also worried about her daughter. Su Yan, who was introduced to her, was now married to a pregnant woman.
The girls in the yard who were the same age as her were all married and had children.
Not only was her daughter not in a hurry to get married, she also took the college entrance examination and went to university.
Seeing that she is getting older, she and Lao Ma are really worried to death.
Now those gossipers in the yard are spreading the news that her daughter will never get married in her lifetime, and even say that her daughter has health problems.
This really pissed her off.
However, no matter what they say, her daughter really doesn't have a partner.
Jiang Ling finally came into being, and he seemed so outstanding. Li Qiuping couldn't wait any longer and wished to marry Ma Xiaoe off right away.
"Mom, although Jiang Ling and I are dating, I want to focus on my studies now and don't want to get married yet."
"What? Did Jiang Ling say that? I want to ask him what he meant." Li Qiuping's face changed immediately when she heard Ma Xiao'e say that.
She thought Jiang Ling wanted to delay her daughter's affairs, and she was so angry that she wanted to go home and settle the score with Jiang Ling.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoe quickly grabbed Li Qiuping.
"Mom, that's not what he said. He wants to marry me, but I meant to wait until after graduation." Ma Xiao'e was afraid that her mother would cause trouble for Jiang Ling, so she hurriedly explained.
Seeing this, Ma Xiao'e slapped him in anger.
"Don't make me angry to death, at your age, if you delay for another two years, I don't think anyone would want you? Xiao Jiang has such good conditions and is willing to wait for you, but you are not in a hurry, you really are..."
Ma Xiao'e covered her face and looked at Li Qiuping with grievance, "Mom, didn't you say before that you wouldn't interfere in my affairs? Jiang Ling said he would wait for me, and I have decided to marry him after graduation."
Li Qiuping sighed with heartache when she saw her daughter like this.
"My daughter, I'm not saying anything to you, but how could you be so foolish? You're lucky to have such a good man waiting for you. You don't know what will happen in the next two years, and men can change their promises at any time. Only when you hold him in your hands can I feel at ease for you."
Li Qiuping also came from a young age, and she said this because she didn't want Ma Xiao'e to lose such a good man in Jiang Ling.
"Think about it carefully." Li Qiuping said to her as they were almost home.
Ma Xiao'e covered her face which was hurt by Li Qiuping's slap, feeling very aggrieved.
However, it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
Indeed, two years is a bit too long, and she herself is not sure what to do if Jiang Ling falls in love with someone else by then?
Only now did she realize that during their time together, she had really fallen in love with Jiang Ling.
After arriving home, Jiang Ling stood up and hurried to the door to take the things from Ma Xiaoe's hand.
Just at this moment, he saw the slap mark on Ma Xiaoe's face, and his face suddenly darkened.
"What happened to your face? Who hit you?"
Ma Xiao'e quickly covered her face and shook her head, saying, "No, I scratched it myself."
How could Jiang Ling believe what she said, so he reached out and pulled her hand down.
"You think I will believe it?"
With a dark face, he helped her check the injuries on her face.
At this time, Li Qiuping also walked in.
Seeing Ma Xiao'e's expression, Jiang Ling probably guessed it.
"Xiao Jiang, go sit down and talk to your uncle for a while. Xiao E and I are in the kitchen. The meal will be ready soon." Li Qiuping greeted Jiang Ling with a smile when she saw him standing there.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked respectfully, "Auntie, why did you hit Xiao'e? Did she do anything wrong?"
Although this is Ma Xiao'e's home, as an outsider it is not convenient for him to interfere.
But when he saw the slap marks on Ma Xiao'e's face, he was of course heartbroken.
Li Qiuping didn't expect Jiang Ling to ask her directly, so she stood there in a daze for a moment.
At this time, Old Ma also came over and saw the slap marks on Ma Xiao'e's face. He also scolded her: "You too, it's New Year's Day. If you have something to say, why can't you just talk to your daughter properly? Why hit her?"
"Dad, Jiang Ling, I'm really fine, don't worry about it." Seeing this, Ma Xiaoe hurriedly explained.
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Jiang Ling.
Knowing his temper, she shook her head at Jiang Ling.
Seeing this, Li Qiuping also sighed deeply.
"Xiao Jiang, please sit down first."
Li Qiuping pulled Jiang Ling and Ma Xiaoe to sit down. Since things had come to this point, she spoke directly.
"Xiao Jiang, I was originally planning to ask you about these things after dinner, but since it's already like this, I won't beat around the bush."
"I know our family's conditions are not good enough for you. If you like our Xiao'e, you shouldn't delay her. She's not young anymore. When do you plan to come and propose marriage?"
Jiang Ling didn't expect Li Qiuping to ask him about this matter directly, but he had made these preparations before coming.
Then he glanced at Ma Xiao'e and said seriously, "I have already discussed this matter with Xiao'e. I respect her choice at all times. As long as she wants to get married, I am available at any time."
Lao Ma and Li Qiuping were still a little worried, but after seeing Jiang Ling's serious expression, they were also moved.
"We feel relieved when you say that. It's just that our Xiao'e is soft-hearted. You must not bully her. If I find out that you have done anything to let her down, I will not forgive you." Although Li Qiuping is very satisfied with Jiang Ling, her future son-in-law, in her heart, nothing is more important than her own daughter.
