At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yiman arrived at Wang's house on time. Before she even entered the door, her pretty face was flushed.
When Wang Xiaomei went to find her, she knew what the words meant as soon as she heard them. She guessed that Lei Hu had returned.
In fact, Lin Yiman has been very uneasy these days. She is the third child in the family, with two older brothers and a younger brother. As the only daughter in the family, she is usually quite favored at home. In addition, Lin's parents are both working, the eldest brother is a regular worker, and the second brother is a temporary worker. In the past few years in the countryside, her family would send her money almost every month, so, except for the heavy farm work, her life in the countryside is still quite good.
In fact, at that time, the second brother wanted him to go to the countryside and let Lin Yiman stay in the city. However, because the second brother was born with one leg longer than the other, he was not suitable for doing farm work in the countryside, so Lin Yiman went to the countryside.
My eldest brother got married last year, and I received a letter last month saying that my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a fat boy. The family expenses suddenly increased, so the letter from home revealed that they might not send money checks every month in the future. However, my family is already trying to find a job for Lin Yiman, but these days, there is only one job for each person, and it is not easy to find a job.
So the letter also mentioned another way, which was to find a partner for Lin Yiman so that she could return to the city after marriage. Then Lin Yiman was asked to send a photo back. This led to Lin Yiman going to the town to take photos by herself a few days ago.
In fact, Lin Yiman didn't know whether returning to the city to get married was the right choice. She had been in the countryside for almost five years and had basically no hope of returning to the city. Although she had adapted to rural life now, the city was where she grew up after all, and there were more opportunities in the city than in the countryside. She was willing to contribute to the construction of the countryside, but she didn't want to settle down in the countryside in the future. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to marry a rural man and live a life of working from sunrise to sunset. In fact, just thinking about it made her feel a little suffocated.
Similarly, she didn't know whether it was right to marry a stranger just to return to the city. Therefore, Lin Yiman has been very confused and entangled in recent times. The appearance of Lei Hu can be said to be another kind of light, giving her other choices, so she agreed with Yang Chunhua's statement and was willing to give herself another choice.
In the main room, Lei Hu was sitting there nervously. Suddenly, the light dimmed and a slender figure walked in from the door.
"Auntie, I'm here," a soft and gentle voice sounded in Lei Hu's ears. With just this ordinary sentence, Lei Hu felt as if he had been electrocuted and his whole body was itchy.
"Lin Zhiqing is here, come in and sit down!" Yang Chunhua stood up and pulled Lin Yiman to the table and sat down opposite Lei Hu.
Wang Xiaomei and Wang Fugui had already sent Yang Chunhua out to work, so now there were only three of them in the Wang family.
Yang Chunhua really had no experience in being a matchmaker, so her initial plan was to go straight to the point and play it straight!
"Lei Zi, what are you doing sitting there like an idiot? Go make Lin Zhiqing a bowl of sugar water!"
"Okay, auntie!" Lei Hu, who was looking at Lin Yiman straight, quickly responded and went to the kitchen.
"This stupid boy!" Yang Chunhua spat with amusement, "Lin Zhiqing, look at this boy, he's already a company commander, but he's still so useless when he sees a girl he loves!"
"Auntie!" Lin Yiman really didn't expect Yang Chunhua to be so direct. Her face turned even redder and her head almost buried in her chest.
"Here comes the water!" Lei Hu strode in with two bowls of sugar water, placing one in front of Yang Chunhua and one in front of Lin Yiman. "Lin, Comrade Lin, please, please drink some water!"
"Why are you stuttering?" Yang Chunhua was very happy to see that she also had sugar water, but seeing Lei Hu's worthless look, she joked.
"No, I didn't stutter. I was just a little nervous when I saw Lin Zhiqing, hehe." Lei Hu's dark face had actually turned red, but it couldn't be seen because it was dark.
"Silly!" Yang Chunhua looked at the silly-smiling Lei Hu, then at Lin Yiman who was almost burying her head under the table, and felt that the matter was basically settled. She picked up her own bowl and said, "You two have met before, so I won't talk too much. I'll go to the kitchen to do some needlework. You young people can have a good chat. Especially you, Lei Zi, explain yourself clearly to the girl, and don't hide or lie. Got it?"
"I know, auntie, I'm not lying!" Lei Hu stood at attention.
"Haha, okay, Lin Zhiqing, if you have anything you want to know, just ask this kid. If this kid bullies you, just tell me!"
"How could I bear to bully you," Lei Hu muttered after hearing what Yang Chunhua said. His voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear it.
Lin Yiman still lowered her head shyly, she felt like her face was about to burn.
"Haha, then I'll go to the kitchen first!" Yang Chunhua quickly left, leaving the space for the young couple.
"Hehe..." Lei Hu stood stupidly beside the table, laughing.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time and just stared at her, Lin Yiman mustered up the courage to raise her head and whispered, "Stop laughing, you, you hurry up and sit down!"
Hearing this coquettish little voice, Lei Hu felt half of his body softened, and he quickly sat down opposite Lin Yiman, saying, "I'll sit, I'll sit right now!"
After Lei Hu sat down, it was easier for him to look at Lin Yiman. His burning eyes were fixed on Lin Yiman. Lin Yiman felt like she was about to melt. "Go ahead, go ahead..."
"Say, what did you say?" Lei Hu was confused at the moment. He was only focused on looking at his little fairy and didn't remember what to do at all.
"No, don't you mean, we need to get to know each other formally?"
"Oh!" Lei Hu quickly straightened up, and said as if reporting to his leader, "My name is Lei Hu, I'm 24 years old, and I'm a glorious PLA soldier. I'm currently a company commander, with a salary of 83 yuan a month, and my family can follow the army! My parents died many years ago, and I have no brothers or sisters. I have an uncle, but we've severed ties, so I'm the only one left in my family. If you marry me, you'll be the head of our family, and you'll have the final say in all our family affairs. All the money will be given to you for safekeeping. Apart from the country, you'll be the only person I'll be loyal to in my life!"
The first half of Lei Hu's introduction is quite serious, but then it starts to get funny.
"Who, who says you are our family!" Lin Yiman glanced at Lei Hu shyly.
Lei Hu was immediately stunned by this look. He stared at Lin Yiman's charming face and said, "Yiman, you are so beautiful, just like a little fairy! Hehe..."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Lin Yiman felt that her whole body was getting hot, and it was so hot that she wanted to explode, but she still tried to suppress her shame and said, "My name is Lin Yiman, I'm 22 years old, a female educated youth who went to the countryside, my family..."
Lin Yiman also briefly explained the situation of her family, "Do you think I have too many brothers?"
"Manman, can I call you that?" Lei Hu looked at Lin Yiman tenderly.
“Yes, you can…”
Hearing Lin Yiman's agreement, Lei Hu's eyes lit up even brighter!
