Chapter 32: The Old Father's Vision



"Tomorrow the commune's tractor will be going to the county. Work harder and finish the work in the morning. The team will have three and a half days off. Everyone can go to the market or rest," team leader Zhao Youtian said when they started working today.

The villagers had been counting the days a few days ago, and estimated that it would be these few days. Now they got the definite news. For the whole morning, everyone’s topic was whether they would go to the market tomorrow and what they would do if they went to the market.

Most of them were there to buy things, and there was also my son and daughter who worked in the city and wanted to deliver some food.

The educated youth's side was more lively.

Because everyone knows that these educated youth from the city have a little more money than the country people.

Aunt Guihua was also asking Yi Qingqing, "Little Yi Zhiqing, you said the other day that your mother's things might have been sent, so you should go get them tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, my mother told me repeatedly to reply immediately after receiving something. I will go back and write after work today to reassure her. I am doing well in the countryside. The aunts in our group are also taking good care of me, especially Aunt Guihua. I have also learned a lot of knowledge about farming," Yi Qingqing said with a smile.

These words immediately made Lin Guihua smile.

An aunt in the group said, "This little Yi Zhiqing's mouth is sweeter than brown sugar water. The words he said make people feel sweet in their hearts. It's really pleasant to hear."

"That's right," the other aunts echoed.

“Haha, then I’ll say more so that you can taste the sweetness without spending any money,” Yi Qingqing joked.

Suddenly, everyone in the first team of women burst into laughter, attracting the attention of people from other teams.

"Hmph, why are you showing off?" Liu Chunxing snorted coldly.

Today, Wang Lingling was close to Liu Chunxing and heard her words clearly. She frowned and looked at her, but she didn't say anything. Her suspicion grew deeper and deeper. Fortunately, she would go to the county to get the letter tomorrow.

“Brother Yun, every time you stand up, you look over there. What’s so good about it?” Gao Beizhu, the youngest son of the village chief, is in the second year of middle school. Ever since he saw Yun Guyuan hit a rabbit with a sharpened stick on the mountain, he has admired Yun Guyuan and called him Brother Yun.

Although Yun Guyuan didn't pay much attention to him, he took Yun Guyuan's behavior as an example and learned a truth from Yun Guyuan: true masters are low-key and don't talk much. He has been controlling his talkative nature for some time, but this time he really couldn't hold it back.

Yun Guyuan collected the vivid figure in his eyes and said coldly to Gao Beizhu, "Get to work!"

"Okay!" Gao Beizhu was immediately happy. This was the first time his brother Yun spoke to him today, and he even said two words at the same time. He had to listen!

The village chief Gao Weimin looked at his son with a headache and told him to study hard, but he refused to do so, saying that he couldn't concentrate. He thought that if he let his son work in the fields and suffer some hardships, he would understand how serious the situation was. Unexpectedly, he followed an educated youth all day long and never complained of being tired while working.

If Yun Zhiqing wasn't a bit better looking but a real man, he would have thought that his son had fallen in love with her.

Why are his family, including his son and daughter, so obsessed with this educated youth?

I can’t figure it out!

This son is fine. Yun Zhiqing seems to be a capable person. Maybe he can learn something good by following him.

No matter how he looked at Lu Zhiqing, the educated young man his daughter liked, he felt uneasy and always felt something was not right. But his daughter and the wife at home all said he was fine with him and said he was just a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law and he had no words to refute if he didn't like anything about him. It was really frustrating.

Section 20

Thinking of this, he glanced at the unfortunate Lu Zhiqing again.

Accidentally seeing his daughter bringing him water, the old father's heart suddenly broke into pieces, "Everyone should do their own thing! Stop running around and slacking off!"

Even when his wife Xu Dongmei gave him a sidelong look, Gao Weimin didn't bow his head. He just felt that Lu Zhiqing was being insincere.

"Guihua, you said that Old Gao is like a child. My daughter is grown up, shouldn't she get married? This Lu Zhiqing has been in my team and I have been keeping an eye on him. He is a steady and honest man, and my daughter likes him. Why doesn't Gao Weimin agree?" Xu Dongmei was so angry that she complained to her old friend.

"Don't be anxious. Let's wait and see. Xiaoxiang is only 18. She can still wait for two years. Besides, Gao Weimin is doing this for Xiaoxiang's good," Lin Guihua comforted her.

Yi Qingqing, who heard this nearby, also nodded. This was true. The village chief had a sharp eye and could tell by intuition that Lu Xianjin was not a good person even without any evidence.

Lin Guihua saw Yi Qingqing nodding as well and teased her, "Why are you nodding, little Yi Zhiqing? You are one year younger than Xiaoxiang!"

Yi Qingqing pretended not to understand, "I think Aunt Guihua is right. You can't get married too early. It's best for girls to get married and have children after they are 20. If you are young, your body won't be well developed and it will be dangerous to have children!"

If it drags on for two years, Lu Xianjin will definitely not be able to wait that long, and the plan might even fail.

However, she would not directly say that Lu Xianjin had character problems, mainly because she had no evidence. Lu Xianjin had always pretended to be a good person and there was nothing wrong with him.

The key point is that Gao Xiaoxiang loves Lu Xianjin to her core, and she may not listen to what others say. If she tries to interfere, she might end up being unpopular with everyone.

"Is there such a saying?" Xu Dongmei asked suspiciously.

Yi Qingqing used her old excuse, "Before I went to the countryside, didn't I get sick and stay in the hospital for two days? I heard from the nurse at the hospital that there was a woman who got married in the countryside at the age of 16 and never had children. Her husband's family disliked her for not being able to have children. Later, they found out that it was because she got married too early that her body was damaged. It is safest to get married and have children after the age of 20."

After listening to Yi Qingqing's detailed account, Xu Dongmei hesitated for a moment.

Yi Qingqing felt that this was enough. At least it left some impression on the village head's wife, and perhaps it could delay the marriage of Gao Xiaoxiang and Lu Xianjin.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Lu Xianjin seemed to be intentionally inquiring about the family situation of the new educated youth recently.

Although he didn't ask directly, she heard him say something like "You can even get a bicycle ticket, why would your family let you go to the countryside?" twice, once to her and once to Yun Guyuan.

As for Li Mengxue, it was also written in the Golden Book a few days ago that Lu Xianjin asked her, "The work points are not enough. Can the family support her expenses in the countryside?"

She didn't know if there was anything else behind her that she didn't see.

The word "home" is repeated too often in his mouth.

Considering his future actions in the book, it is hard not to guess that he is still selecting his targets, and Gao Xiaoxiang is just one of his choices.
