Chapter 316 Li Dalin
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing just returned home at this time. They had sold another washing machine today, and Zhang Jing went with Zhao Yi to help with the debugging, so they came back late.
As soon as I got home, the two little ones had already hung up the washed clothes.
"Mom, let's go out and play."
The two little guys said hello and disappeared in a flash.
"Is Xiaoyi at home?"
At this time Li Dalin walked in.
"Second uncle."
When Zhao Yi saw that the person coming was his second uncle, he greeted him quickly.
"Baohua is getting married the day after tomorrow. I have been busy with his affairs these days and have not had time to come to the city to inform you. I came here today because I have less things to do."
My second uncle Li Dalin had a smile on his face at this time.
The family's house is now a red brick and tile house, and it is considered a relatively luxurious house in the village. Her son is getting married soon, and she doesn't have to worry about her two daughters, who work at Zhao Yi's home.
He can save several hundred yuan every year. Although he gives the money to his family for safekeeping, Li Dalin still plans to let his daughter take it with her when she gets married.
"That's a big deal. Xiaojing and I will definitely be there."
Zhao Yi nodded quickly.
"I didn't invite anyone there. I just told your mom that if she wants to go, she can come with your dad. If she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to go. Just don't bring Zhao Gang and the others with you."
The Li family still drew a clear line between themselves and Zhao Gang and his companions, especially Li Baohua, who specifically told his father several times that he did not want to see those people on such a happy day anymore.
"Got it, second uncle. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go get you two dishes and some drinks for dinner."
Zhao Yi said as he prepared to cook.
"I ate at your brother's place, and he forced me to drink several cups. Now I can't drink at all. If I drink more, I will talk nonsense."
Li Dalin waved his hands quickly.
How could I want to leave without eating after visiting Li Baoguo's house? The relationship between the two families has always been very good.
After chatting for a while, Li Dalin walked over to the other side.
When the sisters Li Baoyu and Li Baoqin saw their father, they hurried forward. As they spoke, Li Baoqin took out her canned food and let her father taste it.
"You are already eighteen years old. I am your age and I have already started a family, but you are not in a hurry at all. People often come to your house to propose marriage. Your mother and I have seen several young men who are not bad. You can try to get to know them when you go back this year."
Li Dalin said in a low voice.
"No, I want to play for another two years."
Li Baoyu immediately shook his head.
"Dad, I'm not even eighteen yet. It's too early for this."
Li Baoqin said directly that they really did not want to get married now and wanted to have fun until they were 20 years old before getting married. Most girls in the city got married at this age.
"I can't control you guys in the city, but you have to take care of your own business."
After saying this, Li Dalin no longer talked about this topic. Now that his daughter is so promising, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get married.
Zhang Jing just came over and heard what they were talking about. She glanced at Li Baoyu but didn't expose the girl's thoughts.
The girls have been working here for a long time, and now they are almost 18 or 19 years old, which is the prime of their life. Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi are not stingy, so they buy many clothes for them at the purchase price.
She dresses up beautifully every day, so naturally there are young men who want to date her. For example, Chen Jiao and Li Baoyu have already started contacting someone. The other party's family is a working-class family. Both of her parents have come here to talk to Li Baoyu and told her that they don't mind that she is from the countryside.
Being able to work as a waitress in the city and earn thirty-six yuan a month means she is a capable girl, even if she comes from the countryside.
After work every day, the four little girls would go to the park square for a stroll, or go to the cinema to watch a movie together. They had some good feelings for each other, but Li Baoyu did not formally agree to date her. He just said that they should get to know each other for a while.
Of course, everyone pays for their own expenses when they go out to consume.
Nowadays, people who are dating are very sensible. They don’t hold hands on the street, and they talk without a sense of boundaries. The red armbands that you see passing by on the street from time to time are not just for decoration.
"Then I'll go to your eldest brother's house first. I have to go back early tomorrow morning. You guys just come back with your brother Yi and play for a day."
After saying this, Li Dalin said hello to Zhao Yi and walked back towards Park Hutong.
"You silly girl, you obviously have someone you like, why don't you tell your uncle clearly?"
Zhang Jing joked.
"Sister-in-law ignores you."
Li Baoyu's face turned red immediately.
"I've been to Xiao Deng's house, and the family tradition is pretty good. If you find the right one, grab it, but don't miss it and regret it later."
Zhang Jing looked at Li Baoyu and said.
Zhang Jing had indeed been there. The family next door to the one where Zhao Yi went to debug the washing machine today was the one that Li Baoyu was dating. They had a good reputation around them, and Xiao Deng's mother had a formal job.
They said that as long as Li Baoyu got married, he would give up his job and stay at home to take care of their children.
"I'm ignoring you."
Li Baoyu ran straight back to the house they rented together.
"This silly girl is still shy. I met your brother Yi once before, and my parents said he was a nice guy. We have become a family now."
Zhang Jing looked at Li Baoqin and said.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still young."
Li Baoqin doesn't want to get married early. Now she earns her own money and spends it herself, so she has no pressure. Comrade Wang Caini, who often comes to the department store to eat, is now 21 years old and still unmarried.
Zhang Jing shook her head. Nowadays, young people need to date for a month or so before they can start dating.
I recalled the first time I met Zhao Yi. At that time, we didn't meet directly at home, but the matchmaker took the man to the playground, or to the field where he was working, and they could just glance at each other from a distance of about ten meters.
If both parties are satisfied, they will pay a formal visit with prepared gifts, indicating that both parties are willing to start a family. After the gifts are accepted, they are considered engaged.
The parents of both parties sat together to discuss when and how to go about the wedding.
Rural areas are collective, and families can't afford any decent gifts. If someone can bring half a pound of fruit candy, they are considered to be from a relatively wealthy family.
As for how many tables to set up, that depends on how much food is stored at home. Most of the time, they are used to entertain close relatives for a meal.
Gifts have always been given as gifts, a few eggs from one family, a handful of noodles from another, or a few kilograms of grain as gifts.
Most young people still listen to their parents, and if their parents think it is okay, they will just start a family without thinking.
If a girl has a boyfriend without her parents knowing, the women in the village can tell it more interestingly than the storytellers.
In rural areas, it is popular to use the virtual age of a person. Most people get married at the age of 18 or 19. If someone is over 21 or 22 and still hasn't found a partner, people will gossip about him or her. Not only will the parents lose face, they will also gradually become worried, wondering if their son or daughter is really unwanted.
So when he was about to start dating, Xiao Deng brought his parents here to find Chen Fen and asked Chen Fen to help introduce him to someone.
Li Baoyu himself has not yet decided whether to have a girlfriend. Now it is not just a casual talk to have a girlfriend. It won't be long before he starts to get married.
