"Aunt, I heard that your niece is getting married. I have a spare piece of red cloth that's big enough to make a red veil. If you need it, I can give it to you."
Li Fangcao, who was bragging about her mother's family to others, immediately turned around and said, "Really? Xu Zhiqing, you can't fool your aunt."
Xu Xiaohua, "Really, Auntie, you take care of me so much every day. I was just wondering how to thank you."
Li Fangcao said happily, "Auntie, thank you first. You can bring it to my house after dinner tonight. You can choose what to exchange it for. Don't worry, Auntie will never let you suffer any loss."
Li Fangcao straightened her back. With this red cloth, her brother and sister-in-law from her natal family would definitely look up to her, and her niece would also remember her kindness as an aunt.
Li Fangcao's parents' home is in Xinhe Brigade, the brigade that produces a lot of fruits and supplies the fruits exclusively to the commune's cannery.
Because her mother's family is well-off, Li Fangcao has always been proud of her mother's family. Her love for her niece is second only to her eldest son and youngest son. Liu Da and her own daughter have to take the back seat.
When the women around heard that Xu Zhiqing had red cloth, they also came over and joined the chat group.
"Xu Zhiqing, do you have any red cloth? Give me some."
"Xu Zhiqing, if you have anything good, I'll trade it with you. I'm telling you, my four sons can earn a lot of work points..."
Li Fangcao was anxious. "The scorekeeper is here. Let's disperse quickly. Everyone, disperse and get back to work."
After everyone left, Li Fangcao looked at Xu Xiaohua, "Xu Zhiqing, we agreed that after lunch, no, after work, I will go to the Zhiqing site with you."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie. I heard your family is from the Xinhe Brigade?"
"Of course not. It's the Xinhe Brigade, which is rich in fruit. The fruits from my mother's brigade are all supplied to the commune cannery. They are so sweet and delicious. I'll bring some back for you to try someday."
As long as she gets the red cloth, her sister-in-law will give her as much fruit as she wants, right?
Li Fangcao became interested. "My mother's brigade is very close to the commune primary school. You know the commune primary school? One teacher there is as good as four teachers in our primary school!"
That Chen Zhiqing is far inferior to the commune primary school teacher, huh!
Xu Xiaohua exclaimed, "Wow, your nephew and niece must be very smart."
Li Fangcao raised her head high and said, "Of course, my niece has been attending the commune primary school since she was young, and then went all the way to high school. She is a high school student!"
Xu Xiaohua admired him, "You're such an outstanding high school student. The person you marry must be outstanding too!"
Li Fangcao's heart was filled with anxiety. "Of course, my nephew's son-in-law is very outstanding. He works in the commune and has a formal job!"
Humph, if it weren’t for that blind Gu Xiaowu, her niece wouldn’t have married a divorced man. She was so angry.
Li Fangcao's niece is three years older than Gu Anyang. The whole commune knows that Gu Aiguo's youngest son is a good student and handsome. In addition, he has a second aunt who is married to a man in the city, so his future is limitless.
After her niece accidentally met Gu Xiaowu, she no longer looked down on anyone else and insisted on marrying Gu Xiaowu. Li Fangcao's brother and sister-in-law were also interested in this marriage, so they asked Li Fangcao to find Liu Jinhua to test the waters.
Li Fangcao herself certainly hopes that her niece will marry Gu Xiaowu. Gu Xiaowu's success is obvious to all, and with his second uncle's support, he will definitely get a formal job after graduation. Maybe after the two families get married, her niece will also be able to get a formal job.
But Li Fangcao didn't expect that Liu Jinhua would reject her niece's good conditions without even thinking about it, and even disliked her niece's age!
Although Liu Jinhua didn't say it explicitly, something like "My little five is still young, and at this stage, we need to focus on our studies and not consider marriage for the time being."
Isn't this mocking her niece's age? Pah, the older generation also said that a woman three years older than her husband will bring her a fortune.
Her niece was proud and arrogant. After being rejected, she was so angry that she insisted on finding a man who was better than Gu Xiaowu. She picked and chose but no one suited her. She kept picking and choosing for several years and eventually became an old maid.
How could a man with a job in the city be interested in a country girl who only has a high school education and no job, and she is an old country girl?
Li Fangcao's brother and sister-in-law were extremely anxious. They used their connections to find a matchmaker and finally found her a regular job, but it turned out to be a regular job with three children to support.
The more Li Fangcao thought about it, the angrier she got. "Fuck your mother! Her niece is only three years older than Gu Xiaowu, and now Chen Zhiqing is also two years older than Gu Xiaowu." Liu Jinhua was clearly vain and had her eye on Chen Zhiqing's wealth.
Xu Xiaohua smiled and started praising Li Fangcao again, saying how lucky her niece was, how her family had a good relationship with her, and how she was waiting to enjoy a good life, etc. Li Fangcao felt so light-hearted after hearing all these flatteries.
Xu Xiaohua sighed, "Well, come to think of it, Weiwei is also a high school student. If she hadn't been broken off in Beijing, she wouldn't have gone to the countryside to become an educated youth."
Li Fangcao's eyes lit up. She held Xu Xiaohua's hand and said, "What? Chen Zhiqing was forced to go to the countryside after his engagement was broken off? Xu Zhiqing, tell me why Chen Zhiqing was broken off?"
The new arrivals, Xu Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing, were both from Beijing, and as soon as they arrived they started asking people about Chen Zhiqing. It was obvious that they knew Chen Zhiqing.
Li Fangcao's voice was loud, and it immediately attracted everyone who was working around.
Xu Xiaohua's face turned pale and she shook her head fearfully. "Aunt, I didn't say anything. I know nothing. Weiwei's engagement wasn't broken off. She took the initiative to apply to go to the countryside to help build the countryside."
Li Fangcao comforted Xu Xiaohua, "Don't be afraid, Xu Zhiqing. We all know. You didn't say anything, and we didn't hear anything."
After saying that, Li Fangcao let go of Xu Xiaohua and started whispering with the women around her, laughing for unknown reasons from time to time.
Xu Xiaohua laughed maliciously as she listened to Li Fangcao and others slandering Chen Qiangwei.
Bang!
Xu Xiaohua covered the back of her head, tears streaming down her face. "Oh, it hurts. Who is this? Why are you hitting me?"
The people who were chatting enthusiastically did not notice that someone behind them was listening to their conversation.
Li Fangcao and others looked up and saw that it was Old Lady Gu, Gu Xiaowu's grandmother. She was holding a pair of shoes in her hand. When they looked again, they saw that Old Lady Gu's right foot was bare.
Although this old lady usually doesn't show off, she is actually very tough. She is a ruthless person who led the Red Army and killed Japanese devils.
Several people dispersed at once and went about their own business.
Old Lady Gu glared at Xu Xiaohua. "Who? Qiangwei's future grandmother, what right do you have to hit someone? Just because you opened your mouth and started spouting nonsense and making up rumors."
You still have the nerve to say bad things about Qiangwei, without even looking in the mirror. You have a pointed face and monkey cheeks, a mournful expression, and you dress like your parents have died. Whoever marries you will be unlucky."
