She had a feeling of sympathy for Zhang Jiuyue. She had liked her for a long time and knew her well, but her son didn't want her.
"Then why don't you ask mom? If she is willing, then find a time to do it?" Wang Xi asked.
"Okay!" Aunt Xi couldn't help herself, "I'll ask her mother tomorrow!"
Aunt Xi was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. The next day, after feeding the pigs, she came to see Zhang's mother with a can of malted milk and a bag of brown sugar.
When she came, Zhang Jiuyue happened to be at home. Because it was still early, she usually sold melon seeds at the cinema after noon.
Her brother is not here because he went to school.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Zhang Jiuyue was watching her mother brewing medicine and was surprised to see Aunt Xi coming.
Aunt Xi smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with your mother. Is your mother asleep now?"
Although Zhang Jiuyue didn't know why she came, she still said, "Wake up." As she spoke, she led her in and brought a stool for her.
Although the family was extremely poor, it did not stop Zhang Jiuyue from keeping the house very tidy and clean. Even though there was a sick mother in bed, there was no dirt at all.
Aunt Xi saw all of this and started to greet Zhang's mother when she saw her.
We have been neighbors for more than ten years and are familiar with each other.
Mother Zhang looked sick and was very thin. She originally thought that Aunt Xi had simply come to see her and was a little puzzled and confused.
But she soon realized what Aunt Xi meant, which made her more energetic.
"To be honest with you, sister-in-law, as for the two siblings, I'm not afraid of Xiaoqi because he's a boy and it won't be a problem for him to get married later when he grows up. But the one I'm most worried about is Jiuyue. This girl has really been delayed by me, but she is also stubborn. I told her to get married quickly and stop taking care of the family a few years ago, but she just wouldn't agree to do so, until now, she is already this age." Zhang's mother sighed.
My daughter is already ten years old. She is still unmarried at this age. She is truly an old maid.
She was really worried that her daughter would not be able to get married, or that she would just marry someone randomly.
Aunt Xi readily took over the conversation and said, "This is just not the right time. Look at my Xizi, isn't it the same? When he was introduced by Changdong to the coal yard and had a stable job, I wanted him to get married, but he just didn't want to. Over the past few years, our family conditions have become more and more comfortable, and I have also raised pigs and chickens, which can help to supplement the family expenses to some extent."
"Sister-in-law, you are getting better now." said Zhang's mother.
"Yes, life won't always be bad, it will get better slowly, but I'm also worried. You see, life is stable now and he can get married. I've urged him many times, but he just won't marry. I only have this one son, so isn't he looking forward to having a grandson soon? But no matter how anxious I am, he just won't marry, and I've scolded him many times." Aunt Xi complained.
Zhang's mother asked, "Is it because fate hasn't arrived yet?"
Aunt Xi: "Before, it was not the right time, so I didn't realize it. But now I know it, and it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law. I'm really worried. I'm thinking that I have to ask the matchmaker to find a girl for Xizi to meet!"
When Zhang's mother heard this, she was almost certain.
She was very happy, and a little out of breath. Aunt Xi quickly rubbed her back and said, "Slow down, slow down. Don't rush."
After a while, Zhang's mother calmed down and said, "Why should you be so anxious? I watched Xizi grow up. I may not know others, but how could I not know Xizi? He is very honest, especially now that he is so successful. Are you afraid that he won't be able to find a wife?"
