Chen Xiaohong said: "You must not talk nonsense.
She has never been married, and I, who am married, am not worthy of her.
Don't tell anyone else about this, got it?"
"Sister, what I said is true.
Brother Qiangzi said he wants to marry you."
Chen Xiaohong was extremely shocked. In her mind was the pair of eyes that stared at her every time she saw Zhang Qiang.
Could it be that...
Then think about it, she just bent down to work just now, and Zhang Qiang yelled at her in front of so many people. Was he worried about her?
Chen Xiaohong was a little skeptical.
Chen Liye said: "Sister, he is a really nice person.
He said, it's not your fault that you have a hard life.
Sister, please think about it carefully. "
Chen Xiaohong felt heavy in her heart and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After the meal was served, Zhang Cuiying said, "Qiangzi is a really good kid. He has been taking care of us when Jianguo and Baoguo were not at home."
Chen Kaifang said: "That's right, such a good boy doesn't have a girlfriend right now, and his parents are worried."
Zhang Cuiyi said: "Jiji is indeed not small."
Chen Liye glanced at Chen Xiaohong, but Chen Xiaohong just lowered her head and ate.
Chen Xiaolan asked: "Why doesn't he get married?
Brother Qiangzi is not a bad person, right?"
Chen Liye deliberately glanced at Chen Xiaohong again and said, "She has someone in her heart."
Chen Xiaolan smiled and said, "Isn't that girl very happy?"
Zhang Cuiyi laughed and said, "What do you know, little girl?"
Chen Xiaolan just giggled.
Chen Xiaohong felt so uncomfortable after eating that meal.
This kid Chen Liye said these things in front of her on purpose.
By noon, Zhang Defu and Liu Xiu had already known about what happened.
The matchmaker's gossip on the road soon spread throughout the village.
As soon as Liu Xiu came back, he cooked with a heavy heart.
Zhang Defu leaned against the pillar under the eaves in silence, smoking his pipe quietly.
After Zhang Qiang came back, Liu Xiu came out of the kitchen with a spoon in his hand.
Liu Xiu saw Zhang Qiang follow Chen Liye and the others.
Seeing her son coming back, she said with a gloomy face, "Can you be more promising?
The matchmaker just came to our house and you followed her everywhere. Are you trying to piss me and your dad off to death?"
Zhang Qiang didn't want to break up with his family, so he took a deep breath and said, "Mom, can you just stop interfering in our young people's affairs?
I know it's hard for you to accept it, but I like her.
No matter if it's one or two times, I won't give up.
She doesn't get married, and I don't get married either, and that's fine too."
Liu Xiu no longer had the heart to cook. She threw away the spoon in her hand and collapsed under the eaves, crying bitterly.
It seems that Chen Xiaohong's plan has failed.
If this plan fails, his son will probably suffer as well.
Liu Xiu watched Zhang Qiang go into the house in silence, and she cried for a long time.
Zhang Defu was also sighing.
After a long while, Zhang Defu said, "Okay, stop crying. There's no point in crying. Don't let the neighbors laugh at you."
Liu Xiu wiped her tears, sat up from the ground with difficulty, and went back to cooking.
Zhang Qiang didn't eat lunch. He lay on the bed with his hands on his pillow, with Chen Xiaohong's face in his mind.
Once you like someone, it's for life.
At the dinner table, Liu Xiu winked at Zhang Defu, asking him to call Zhang Qiang to come for dinner.
Zhang Defu said: "Just let him be alone."
Liu Xiu had no appetite either, and she began to cry silently again.
"Tell me, is he going to starve himself to death?"
Zhang Defu sighed and said, "No, don't worry.
If it really doesn't work, let's just ignore the matter between him and Chen Xiaohong.
You know this kid's temper."
Whenever Liu Xiu thought about this, he felt extremely tormented.
She also wanted to take care of it, but Chen Xiaohong couldn't have children.
If she could have children, she wouldn't mind being a married woman.
Liu Xiu said: "Then we won't even have grandchildren to hold in our arms in the future."
Zhang Defu said with a sullen face: "Why would you care about what happens after death when you are still alive?
Let him be. Life is just like the chives on the field. One crop after another is harvested. Who knows what life will be like for our son? "
Liu Xiu wiped her tears. She originally wanted to find Chen Xiaohong's boyfriend, but now she didn't want to do that anymore.
After you've finished, what should you say?
It is your son who wants to marry someone, not someone else who is pursuing marriage.
If anyone is to blame, it should be his own son.
Zhang Qiang didn't eat lunch. When he went to the fields in the afternoon, Chen Xiaohong also came.
A group of women in the village were picking cucumbers and large pieces of cucumbers before the buds bloomed. After blanching and drying them, they were handed over to the team and finally sold to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When Zhang Qiang passed by, he saw Chen Xiaohong there and he paused.
Not far away, Liu Xiu was keeping an eye on his son.
When she saw this scene, she felt angry and distressed.
Zhao Hong, who was standing by, saw Liu Xiu sighing and asked, "Qiangzi's mother, you have been sighing all afternoon. Are you worried about something?"
It would have been better if Zhao Hong didn't ask, because after asking, Liu Xiu felt even more uncomfortable.
Qiangzi and Dazhuang have a good relationship. Look at Dazhuang, his wife is already seven months pregnant.
Liu Xiu said: "It's nothing, I just haven't had a good appetite these past two days."
Zhao Hong wanted to show some concern for Liu Xiu, as they had a good relationship. From the way Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Qiang, she could probably guess why she was feeling upset.
I guess it was because of Qiangzi's marriage.
Zhang Cuiying said: "If you have a poor appetite, you should go and see. It's probably because the weather has been too hot these past two days."
In fact, Liu Xiu felt a little resentful towards the Chen family, and at this moment she was not willing to pay attention to Zhang Cuiying.
She knew in her heart that the Chen family could not be blamed for this matter, but she just couldn't control herself.
Liu Xiu responded indifferently and said nothing more.
After the sun set, Chen Xiaolan went back to cook.
The wind was very cool in the evening, and Chen Xiaohong felt that now was the right time to work.
Ma Xiu Lian's belly was big, Zhao Hong was worried, so she took her away first.
After everyone had gone to bed, Chen Xiaohong took a basket and picked half a basket of purslane in the cornfield.
Almost everyone in the field had dispersed. Chen Xiaohong had just emerged from the cornfield. She stood by the stalks of the field, patting the corn cobs hanging on her body. Zhang Qiang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Chen Xiaohong was startled.
For a moment, Chen Xiaohong felt panicky.
Zhang Qiang was also surprised. Didn’t she go home a long time ago?
Zhang Qiang's eyes fell on the basket in Chen Xiaohong's hand and he saw it clearly.
Both of them appeared so suddenly that they were all speechless for a moment.
"you…"
"you…"
The two paused, then spoke in unison.
"You go first..."
"You go first..."
There was silence between the two of them.
Zhang Qiang coughed dryly and asked, "Why are you picking so many vegetables?"
"Well, there are many people in my family. How about I give you half and you can take it back and let Auntie cook it for you."
