After hearing what Lu Yuanshan said, Xiaorou's mother smiled even more.
But she quickly stopped smiling and asked worriedly, "Yuanshan, your idea is good, but I have something to say."
Lu Yuanshan pretended to listen attentively.
Xiaorou's mother took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I know that you drivers have your own backgrounds. If Xiaorou follows you in the future, she will definitely have no worries about food.
But is the source of the betrothal money you paid legitimate?
This is a bicycle and a sewing machine. If it is too high-profile and reported by jealous people, then......"
She hesitated to speak. Xiaorou's father felt that his wife's words were too disrespectful to Lu Yuanshan.
He immediately glared at her and said, "Look at what you said. Yuanshan dared to take out so many things. They were all his own intentions and must have come from legitimate sources."
Lu Yuanshan looked at the person sitting next to him with a worried smile on his face, and felt a little warm in his heart.
"I have been working for four or five years. I usually spend my own money in the factory and hardly spend my salary.
Apart from buying some things for my daughter, parents and others, there is basically nothing big to do.
I can save one or two hundred yuan a year to support the betrothal gifts, which is considered to be most of my family's assets.
As for what you said, I can only say one thing, I will never let Xiaorou fall into such danger in the future. "
His powerful words reached the ears and eyes of the old couple, and immediately made them feel relieved.
"well........."
Xiaorou's mother was so happy that she was spinning around on the spot, and her hands that were holding Xiaorou's arm were shaking a little.
After lunch, Xiaorou followed Lu Yuanshan to the county party committee compound.
In the yard, Xiaorou's mother reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Her red eyes and trembling hands all showed her happiness.
She turned her head and looked at the old man beside her: "Our daughter finally has a place to stay in the future.
She treats the girl as her own, so when she gets old, she won't end up with no one to see her off to the grave."
Xiaorou's father also felt a sore throat. He coughed heavily and asked, "How is the matter I asked you to find out?"
“Everyone in the village said he was a hard-working man, and no matter how many people the matchmaker introduced to him, he was unwilling to get married.
If he takes the initiative to ask to marry our Xiaorou now, he will definitely treat her well in the future."
Hearing this, Xiaorou's father was immediately relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
But there are always people who want to be that blind eye.
"Hey, you're not even married yet, and you're already talking about this?
If you ask me, maybe they just noticed that she can’t have children.”
Old Mrs. Qian came over from behind, eating melon seeds.
His words hit home directly, and Xiao Rouniang's face immediately turned dark.
"If you keep talking nonsense here, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?"
Old Madam Qian curled her lips and snorted coldly: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
She straightened her clothes and hair, and said proudly, "There is one thing you may not know, our Jianhua went to run for advanced individual today.
That's the best of the best, huh! Some people are just unlucky, unlucky. Look at our Jianhua, he's living a good life without her, and his career is booming."
Seeing her getting more and more excited, Xiaorou's mother spat fiercely on the ground: "Bah! You are just running for advanced individual, and the dust hasn't settled yet, and you are already bragging here!
If I don’t win the election, it will be really laughable.”
After saying this, Xiaorou's mother, ignoring the distorted expression on Old Lady Qian's face, pulled the old man towards home.
On the way back, Xiaorou's father sighed and said, "I heard some news before. Alas! I heard that he even asked his uncle for help. This time, he will most likely be selected."
Xiaorou's mother slapped her old man hard and said, "Why do you have to tell me such sad things on such a happy day?"
Xiaorou's father was slapped in the face, grimacing in pain, and muttered softly, "You can't kill me, though!"
The old couple's joy was dashed and they returned home in a depressed mood.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auditorium was almost full of people.
There was a cardboard box at the front desk. County Magistrate Tao ignored the angry faces of the people around him and drank his tea leisurely.
As the young woman walked onto the stage with a smile on her face, she reached into the cardboard box.
Finally, he took out a piece of paper and said, "The next step is the exciting moment. I believe that all of you are very much looking forward to it and are very nervous.
The ten advanced representatives on the list have excellent qualities that are very worthy of learning for all comrades......."
As the names were called out one by one, everyone dressed neatly and walked slowly to the stage.
County Magistrate Tao and the person next to him looked at each other, and the two of them walked towards Honghua, one on the left and one on the right.
When the ninth person's name was called, Lu Yuanshan lowered his eyes in disappointment. It seemed that he had no hope this time.
Director Gong patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "It's okay, there will be another chance next time!"
The man with glasses on the other side was feeling very nervous. He quickly turned his head to look at the leader's seat. When he saw the smile on the man's lips, he immediately felt relieved.
The announcer on the stage paused, and deliberately kept everyone in suspense and said, "Who will get the last spot? I'm sure everyone is very curious about this. Now I announce that the tenth advanced individual representative is..."
Before the announcer could even call out the name, the man with glasses, Qian Jianhua, half of his butt was raised up.
His confident look surprised everyone around him.
However, the words the announcer shouted out: "Comrade Lu Yuanshan!"
Qian Jianhua's body stiffened, with a smug smile still on his face, and his eyes seemed unable to move.
I could only feel a buzzing sound in my ears, and the mocking voices of people around me came over: "Look at that comrade, he was about to stand up before anyone even called his name, and in the end it was still him, how ridiculous."
"Who said it wasn't? You don't know, he was arrogant before. I think it's natural that he wasn't chosen."
"That's right, that's right. His mother and his wife are not easy to get along with. It's a pity that he was not chosen, otherwise he would be so proud."
The voices of the crowd were like sharp knives, stabbing Qian Jianhua hard.
He stood up suddenly and opened his mouth to shout, but a look from County Magistrate Tao on the stage frightened him so much that he shuddered, regained his senses, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He forced an awkward smile on his face, apologized quickly, and sat down quickly.
