Lin Qingxiang hesitated for a while before trying to probe: "Do you know the girl who cooks at the nursery?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "You mean Zhao Xiaohong! I know, what's wrong?"
Lin Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, happily pulled Lin Yi to the side, and asked, "What's the situation with that girl? How is her family?"
Lin Yi suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be that Shaojun has taken a fancy to her?"
"That's it." Lin Qingxiang said bluntly, "Everyone in the village knows that he works in a seafood restaurant and his salary is not low. At the end of this year, there were suddenly more people coming to propose marriage. Yuzhen and I were very happy, but this brat was uncharacteristically saying that he didn't want a blind date. He only revealed that he had someone in his heart when he was forced into a corner.
Yuzhen and I couldn't figure out who he could fall in love with, but Yuzhen was smart and said she wanted to ask you. He panicked all of a sudden and stammered that he fell in love with a girl who cooked in the nursery. He also said that she often went to the seafood store to buy seafood. What's going on?"
Lin Yi shook his head honestly, "You have to wait for Aqin to come back, she knows more about this."
Lin Qingxiang nodded and continued to work. At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone else had finished work and went home, but Lin Qingxiang had not left yet and waited until Lin Qin came back.
Seeing that the person had returned, Lin Yi took his little grandson away without saying a word and briefly told him about Lin Shaojun's situation.
Lin Qin was happy, and said to the uneasy Lin Qingxiang: "The Zhao family is very poor, especially in the mountains. Zhao Xiaohong has six brothers and sisters in total. She is the fourth child. She has two older brothers and a sister, and younger brothers and sisters. If the family was not too poor, the brother could not marry, and the sister could not afford the dowry and marry, it would be impossible for them to come to the city to work.
I also got to know her and thought she was a nice girl, so I helped her. Now she works in a daycare center, cooks for the children, and sells food on the stall after get off work. She can earn nearly a hundred yuan a month. If she can set up the stall for a longer time during holidays, she can earn even more.
Uncle, I told you the truth about her. You can discuss it with Auntie. If you are satisfied, then you can continue the relationship. If you are not satisfied, don’t go to her. The girl doesn’t know about this yet!"
Lin Qingxiang nodded thoughtfully, but did not express his opinion directly.
When I got home, I told my wife about the situation.
Huang Yuzhen was unhappy when she learned that the Zhao family was very poor, but when she heard that Zhao Xiaohong was very capable and could earn more than a hundred yuan a month, she became tempted. She was confused for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
When Lin Shaojun came back from get off work, Huang Yuzhen couldn't help but ask, "Is Zhao Xiaohong's family really so poor that her brothers can't even get married?"
Lin Shaojun was stunned for a moment, knowing that his parents had heard the news, he did not hide it, "Before, they were very poor and really couldn't find a wife. Before the New Year, they went back to their hometown, and someone acted as a matchmaker for her eldest brother, and it worked out. The two of them held a banquet in the village, and after the Spring Festival, they came to the city to work together.
Her mother also came. From what Xiaohong said, her mother and her sister-in-law also wanted to set up a stall here to make money, but they didn't plan to do it with Xiaohong and her sister.
These days, they bought twice as many oysters and river shrimps as last year, and the amount will probably increase in the future.
Her second brother said there was no rush and that he needed to wait a little longer. A relative of her third sister introduced a guy to her, but she didn't know if it would work out, but if it did, she would get married in the first half of this year.
She was a little worried that her third sister would get married and no longer be compatible with her."
Lin Shaojun hasn't confessed his feelings to Zhao Xiaohong yet. The reason why he knows so much is because Zhao Xiaohong ordered more seafood, and he asked around, and she didn't hide anything and told him everything.
Huang Yuzhen's tense expression eased a lot. "It seems that the situation of the Zhao family is not as bad as I thought."
Lin Shaojun was speechless, "Mom! I haven't even confessed to her yet, I'm not sure if she likes me or not, you're worrying so much, isn't it too much!"
Huang Yuzhen was immediately unhappy, "You little bastard, if you like it, why don't you tell me? If someone robs you, I don't think you'll have anywhere to cry!"
Lin Shaojun's expression changed and he turned away with a dark face.
Lin Qingxiang whispered, "Are you attracted to that girl?"
Huang Yuzhen lowered her eyes, "I don't know, but I know your son is very picky. He finally met someone he likes. If he misses the chance, he doesn't know when he can get married. Let him try."
Lin Qingxiang was speechless.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school.
Lin Qin dressed up specially and went to school with the children. She took Xu Jian and Xu Kang to their respective classes and handed them over to their class teachers, and gave them some instructions for a while before leaving.
Wait until she rushed to the senior citizens' university carrying her youngest son.
Sister Fang's eyes lit up when she saw her wearing a skirt and makeup, "Hey! What have you been doing? What day is today?"
Lin Qin explained it openly.
Sister Fang gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are really good at handling things. I don't even care so much about my own son. But at that time, our family was not well off and we were busy worrying about money, so we didn't have the time to think about these things. Now we have more money, and our son has grown up. He has his own ideas and doesn't listen to me at all. I wanted to arrange a blind date for him, but people said I had nothing better to do!"
Fortunately, Xiaohong's brothers and sisters helped me fulfill my matchmaking addiction. Let me tell you, the person I introduced to Xiaohong's third sister succeeded."
Lin Qin became interested, "What are the man's requirements?"
Seeing Lin Qin's interest, Sister Fang immediately began to talk in detail, "He's a local, and his family is a little poor. He has two brothers. The old couple built a house for their eldest son and got him a wife, but they ran out of money. When it came to the youngest son, they had nothing, so naturally no one was willing to marry him.
Look, the boy was holding back his anger, and since his parents couldn't help him, he did it himself. He went to the slaughterhouse to pull pigs in the middle of the night, and set up a stall in the morning and in the evening. He was very hardworking.
It happened that we were near Xiaoqing and Xiaohong's stall, and the two looked familiar. I saw that the man was quite caring towards our Xiaoqing, so I asked him a few questions. I didn't expect that he had already had this idea, and it worked!
The families of these two people are not able to help, so there is no betrothal gift or dowry. The man's side does have a place to live, but it's not big. What I mean is that they are still young. If they work hard for two years and make money, they can build a house and have everything. "
Lin Qin deeply agreed, "That's right. When my partner and I got married, we were also very poor. We have worked hard to get to where we are today, so it's better to rely on yourself than on others."
Sister Fang seemed to have found a soulmate. If Lin Qin wasn't about to be late for class, she really wanted to keep talking to Lin Qin for a few more hours.
A few days later, Lin Qin heard that Zhao Xiaoqing got married.
She told Lin Shaojun the whole story, and Lin Shaojun immediately couldn't sit still and planned to confess his feelings to Zhao Xiaohong. (End of this chapter)
