Upon hearing this, Xu Guoliang leaned closer to look at Sun Yutang's face and said, "Really? You are a sentimental person. You have poor eyesight but you are always thinking about love. Who is it this time? Is it from the village or from which educated youth camp? Tell me so I can give you some advice."

Sun Yutang slapped him with a card and said, "Get lost!"

Xu Guoliang: "Oh, you're still keeping it a secret?"

Qian Liang: "It's not any other educated youth camp. This kid wants to eat grass near his home."

"The grass in the backyard? Who?" This time, not only Xu Guoliang, but also Jiang Xiaodong and Zhao Ming were interested and looked at Sun Yutang together.

Sun Yutang glared angrily, but Qian Liang was not afraid of him. The two were about the same height, so it would be a draw if they fought. "You can't guess it. I discovered it by accident. He wanted to give something to someone, but he didn't have the chance to give it away yet."

Xu Guoliang said, "Aren't those three girls the only ones we have around? He Huijuan and Jiang Limei have already made it clear that they want Zhao Ming, so could it be your cousin?"

Zhao Ming paused and looked up at Xu Guoliang helplessly. What could he say? The fact was that the two women had confessed to him openly. He did not accept it, but he could not stop or control their thoughts and actions. He simply let them go. Anyway, he rejected them all and did not waver for any of them. Therefore, for so long, the three of them lived in the same yard and were able to maintain a stable relationship.

Qian Liang said, "How could it be my sister? Qian Xiaoyun has someone she likes, and I haven't seen her running around the brigade headquarters all day, waiting for letters."

Xu Guoliang: "Who else?"

"You did it on purpose, right? Meng Taohua isn't a woman?" Qian Liang smiled slyly.

Sun Yutang threw out a card: "Fuck Qian Liang, you really dare to say that?"

Qian Liang: "You yourself are hesitant to do something unreliable, so what's wrong?"

Xu Guoliang clenched his fist and said, "Want to pursue our female landlord? This is really unreliable. Sun Yutang, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible! In the past, Taohua seemed a little silly and was bullied by the Tian family. In fact, it should be like what she said, she tolerated the Tian family as her closest relatives. Look at that Tian Zhigao, he is handsome, right? I heard that he is also very smart and one of the best young people in this village. Meng Taohua must love him to death. She is willing to be buried in the Tian family and suffer grievances for him. Later, Tian Zhigao changed his heart, Taohua turned hatred from love, and then became heartless, so she rebelled against the Tian family and returned to her nature.

Now Meng Taohua has suffered deep affection. She cannot accept it so quickly and believes in another man. Who dares to talk to her about her scar and make her anxious, be careful that she will drive us out!

Qian Liang echoed, "I'll beat you up too! There's no other courtyard in this village that's safer and more comfortable than the Meng family's, and Taohua's cooking is delicious. My grandmother said that some people are born with the ability to cook delicious food, and they are blessed. Taohua is that kind of person, and the Tian family is blind and missed a treasure... We can get a good meal from time to time, so we should be content and don't act rashly!"

Zhao Ming put his fist on his mouth and coughed, laughing silently.

Jiang Xiaodong looked at Xu Guoliang and Qian Liang and said, "I can't believe it. I usually see you two being funny and chatty, but you can still come up with some profound truths. Is this considered as being wise in the form of foolishness?"

Xu Guoliang snorted: "I have always been thoughtful, wise and talented."

Qian Liang: "That's right, the real person just doesn't show his face!"

Jiang Xiaodong couldn't help laughing and turned to look at Sun Yutang: "What do you say? Do you insist on pursuing our female landlord?"

Sun Yutang made a bitter face and shook his head: "I'd better take a break. I didn't know Taohua before, but after she came back, I really think Taohua is very good. She has many advantages, and she is also very cute. I think I can do it... But just now I saw her beating Shi Datou, that strength, I am a little scared..."

“Hahahaha!”

Xu Guoliang and Qian Liang were laughing so hard that they were staggering. Zhao Ming couldn't help laughing. Sun Yutang was dejected. He had broken up again before the relationship even started. Jiang Xiaodong didn't laugh with them, but patted Sun Yutang on the shoulder to comfort him.

At noon, the women went home to cook one after another, but Aunt Yang, Zhou Cuiling and Zhou Cuimei came over. They came to comfort Meng Tao, and Aunt Yang brought her some smoked meat. They sat in the main room for a while, and then Aunt Yang and Zhou Cuimei went back. Zhou Cuiling stayed to do needlework with Meng Tao and eat for a while.

Today it was the female educated youth who cooked, and the male educated youth had dispersed their card tables and were waiting for lunch. Jiang Xiaodong and Zhao Ming walked out of the courtyard to stretch their legs and said hello to Aunt Yang and Zhou Cuimei. The aunt and nephew talked in a low voice as they walked, but Jiang Xiaodong and Zhao Ming still heard a few of their words.

Zhou Cuimei: "Aunt, the Tian family is really hateful. They look down on me and are jealous of my ability. Tian Xianglan also always wants to covet Taohua's yard... I think Taohua should find a man to marry as soon as possible. With a man at home, they won't dare to get close to Taohua anymore and have no reason to do so."

Aunt Yang: "That's true. Your uncle also told me to pay close attention and help Taohua find a good partner. There are some good guys in our village, but they are either married or engaged, or too young and not suitable. I have to go to other villages to have a look..."

"Aunt, don't you think my eldest brother is quite suitable?"

"You mean our fourth child? He seems to be only eighteen years old, younger than Taohua."

"What's two years old? They say that a three-year-old is a golden age. My eldest brother wants me to pass a message to Taohua. I can't ask directly, so why don't you go and tell her? I think she's a good girl. Although Taohua has been married once, she's pretty and beautiful. Most importantly, she's capable, easy to get along with, and has her own yard..."

"Since it's Lao Si's own idea, I'll ask next time. But Taohua has to like it and agree to date first."

"That's for sure."

“…”

Aunt Yang and Zhou Cuimei walked away. Jiang Xiaodong and Zhao Ming looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Xiaodong asked: "Do you think Taohua will like the fourth son of the Zhou family?"

Zhao Ming shook his head: "In fact, they should think about it. Taohua was once betrothed to a man as talented and handsome as Tian Zhigao. Can she lower her standards and find an ordinary partner? Impossible. Moreover, you should have noticed that in addition to studying hard and absorbing knowledge and culture like a sponge, Taohua has also been constantly developing her connections outside. She has begun to like the outside world and always wants to go to the city. She has a brother in the provincial capital, an uncle in Pingjiang City, and a grandfather in another province...Xu Guoliang is right. Taohua is not in a hurry to find a partner now, nor does she want to get married. Perhaps in the near future, she will not live in this village at all."

Jiang Xiaodong nodded: "Maybe, but I..."

"Eat, eat!"

Qian Liang stuck his head out of the courtyard gate and shouted. Zhao Ming said hello, looked at Jiang Xiaodong, and walked in first.

Jiang Xiaodong sighed secretly. He originally wanted to tell Zhao Ming what was in his heart and listen to what he had to say, but he was interrupted and had to give up.

Now, the time is indeed not ripe yet. Let's wait a little longer. He is not Sun Yutang who will insist forever.

Keep it up!
