Other villagers walked by and discussed in low voices.
"Did you see that? Zhang Qiang went into the cornfield with a girl."
"I saw it, I saw it, but I don't know whose girl this is."
"Her back was facing us, so we couldn't see clearly."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, all men are really the same."
"They are not married, it is normal for a man and a woman to fall in love."
"I guess he's the one."
The men walked away talking.
Zhang Qiang sent her directly to the fork in the road. Chen Xiaohong was afraid that Zhang Qiang would send her to the door and be seen by her parents.
Chen Xiaohong said: "Brother Qiang, you go ahead."
Zhang Qiang knew that this matter could not be rushed, and the most important thing was to let her know his feelings first.
Zhang Qiang said: "Hey, I'm going to go, remember to ask Liye to bring me some food in the evening.
Xiaohong, if you ever want to get married, please consider me first."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaohong felt somewhat bitter.
It's not easy for him either.
Chen Xiaohong just lowered her head. It didn't matter whether she nodded or not. Zhang Qiang thought it was enough as long as she listened.
He returned the basket and walked home alone.
As soon as Zhang Qiang arrived, he helped his parents feed the pigs and chickens, while Zhang Defu was lighting the fire for Liu Xiu in the kitchen.
Liu Xiu sighed and said, "Should we really agree to this matter of the child?"
"What else can I do if I don't agree?
What's the point of just agreeing? Don't we still have Xiao Hong?"
Liu Xiu thought about it and took another deep breath.
Dinner was cooked and placed on the table. Liu Xiu glanced at Zhang Qiang who was eating with his head down, and sighed, "I've discussed it with your father. We won't be in charge of your affairs anymore. You can handle it yourself.
We just want you to have a good time.”
Zhang Defu also sighed and said, "Yes, your mother and I have always been dissatisfied. We just want you to marry someone who is suitable for you in the future.
But most people can't stand your bad temper.
Over the past few years, you have been really cruel to yourself."
Zhang Qiang was excited and surprised.
I really didn't expect that my parents would really agree.
Zhang Qiang didn't say anything. Seeing that he didn't say anything, shouldn't Liu Xiu be happy?
Liu Xiu said: "Why don't you speak?
Don't you want to marry her? Your father and I are happy now, so why are you still unhappy?"
Zhang Qiang put down his chopsticks and sighed helplessly: "Mom and Dad, I like her and I want to marry her, but you have never thought about whether she is willing to marry you."
Liu Xiu was shocked and said, "Why? She is a divorced woman, and she despises you who is not married?
Although our family conditions are average, we know you are a person who can make a living. Could it be that she still despises you?"
Zhang Qiang said: "She is divorced, it's not bad to treat her.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with my health.”
Liu Xiu was very surprised. How could his son seem to know everything?
Liu Xiu asked: "How do you know everything?"
“I’m with Baoguo all day, so I must know what’s going on in their family.
Xiaohong has had a checkup and is healthy."
Liu Xiu naturally didn't believe it. Although she promised not to interfere in Zhang Qiang's affairs, she did not say that she would accept Chen Xiaohong.
Liu Xiu said: "Since there is nothing wrong with your body, why is there no reaction in your stomach after two years of marriage?
Besides, Yang Wei’s wife’s belly is so big, she’s almost pooped.”
"I think there's something wrong with Yang Wei."
In Liu Xiu's eyes, Zhang Qiang's words were just his way of flattering Chen Xiaohong.
Everyone has sharp eyes. If Yang Wei can't get pregnant, where did the baby in his new wife's belly come from?
Liu Xiu was afraid that Zhang Qiang would make trouble with her, so she didn't say anything more.
Even if others don't feel sorry for her own son, she will.
Liu Xiu didn't want to hear any more of these heartburning things, so he said, "Okay, stop talking and eat quickly."
Zhang Qiang seemed as silent as before. The old couple looked at each other and became even more worried.
They thought that as long as the old couple gave in, their son would feel better.
Unexpectedly, their opinions were the same whether they were said or not.
Things don't seem as simple as they imagined.
Zhang Qiang showed no reaction on his face, but he was actually very happy.
For him, the most difficult hurdle is that of his parents.
After dinner, Zhang Qiang said, "I'm going to be on duty."
Zhang Defu warned: "Don't sleep too deeply at night."
Zhang Qiang's excited voice came from the door.
"knew."
As soon as he walked out of the door, he almost jumped up and reached out to pull a handful of poplar trees on both sides of the road.
If there was a delay, Zhang Qiang would definitely run to the compound first.
But this time, he went directly to Chen Xiaohong's house.
Sooner or later, my mother-in-law will accept Chen Xiaohong. The next step is to deal with my father-in-law and mother-in-law and make them lean towards me.
Zhang Qiang looked at the bright red clouds in the sky and felt that there was still hope for the future.
When Chen Xiaohong arrived, Chen Xiaolan had already prepared dinner: cornmeal steamed buns and potatoes stewed with beans.
As soon as Chen Xiaolan came, she washed the purslane by the small river at the door, and then blanched it and made a cold dish as soon as she entered the door.
Chen Xiaohong looked at the dinner and said to Chen Xiaolan, "Let's make some soup. My parents have been working in the fields all day, so they can drink some soup to cool off."
Chen Xiaolan smiled and said, "I see."
As soon as the purslane salad and sauerkraut soup were served on the table, Zhang Qiang arrived.
Chen Kaifang was sitting under the eaves sharpening his sickle for cutting grass. When he saw Zhang Qiang, he smiled and said, "Qiangzi is here?"
"Uncle, I'm here."
In the kitchen, Chen Xiaohong heard the hand holding the bowl tremble.
Why is he here again?
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "Just now, we have prepared dinner. Let's sit down and have something to eat."
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Auntie."
If it was at that time, Zhang Qiang would definitely have left.
But today, Zhang Qiang was smiling, and looked as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Cuihua smiled and asked, "Has your mother ordered yet?"
Zhang Qiang said: "It's time."
Zhang Qiang walked over to Chen Kaifang and said, "Uncle, go eat first. I'll help you grind it."
Zhang Cuihua said, "Stop working and eat first."
Zhang Qiang said: "Aunt, I was just kidding, I've eaten at home."
Chen Liye came out of the room and pulled Zhang Qiang towards the dining table.
"Brother Qiang, try my eldest sister's cooking skills. My eldest sister's cooking skills are amazing."
Chen Xiaohong was somewhat embarrassed, as her cooking skills were actually average.
Zhang Qiang was not happy, so Chen Kaifang smiled and said, "Sit down, sit down, sit down and eat."
Zhang Cuihua also smiled and said, "Don't be polite, sit down and eat quickly."
Soon, Chen Xiaolan and her sister also sat down.
Chen Kaifang took out a steamed bun and handed it to Zhang Qiang.
"Come here, Qiangzi, let's eat the steamed bread made by my Xiaohong. Try it."
Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Xiaohong with a smile, took the steamed bun and took a big bite.
Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really delicious, soft and sweet."
Chen Xiaohong smiled faintly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
