Chapter 14
Lu Chen heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll go mail the letter soon."
Meng Yinyin said "oh", not at all curious about what Lu Chen was going to send, or to whom, she just said: "Then I'll wait for you outside the post office!"
Anyway, sending a letter can be done quickly and won’t take much time.
Seeing that she didn't seem to intend to dig deeper, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, I'm quick."
After that, the two went directly to the post office.
The town that Lu Chen brought Meng Yinyin to was not small. There were several state-owned factories in the town, and other infrastructure was also complete. As Meng Yinyin followed Lu Chen to the post office, she couldn't help but look around curiously.
When passing by a textile factory, she suddenly felt it was familiar.
After walking past the textile factory, she finally remembered where she had heard the word "textile factory". It turned out that Jiang Guihua had told her that day that her mother-in-law worked in the textile factory in the town, and also said that if Meng Yinyin wanted to come to the town to play someday, she should remember to find her at the textile factory.
But she's fine, so why should I go look for her?
So Meng Yinyin just took a look at the gate of the textile factory and quickly put the matter out of her mind.
Soon, the two arrived at the post office. Meng Yinyin stood outside the post office and let Lu Chen go in to handle his business.
In the post office, Lu Chen took out the letter he had written last night, and then took out the address that had been sealed for a long time, which even the captain was not sure was correct, and sent the letter out.
Seeing the post office staff taking his letter away, Lu Chen stared at the letter for a long time, until he could no longer see the letter, then he turned away and left.
He had placed too many hopes on this letter. If even this letter was useless, he might really have no choice but to resort to tough measures.
Outside the post office, Meng Yinyin found a place to stand under the eaves, hiding from the sun while waiting for the land to sink.
She has fair skin and outstanding looks. Today, she wore a bright-colored dress for shopping in the town. Everyone passing by paid attention to her.
They had never seen such a beauty before.
However, Meng Yinyin was already accustomed to such gazes, so she didn't even look at the others. She just stared at the door of the post office, waiting for Lu Chen to come out.
Just as she was watching Lu Chen line up and walk up to the post office staff to say something, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Meng Zhiqing, are you in town?"
Hearing this, Meng Yinyin turned around in confusion and saw Mother Wang, whom she had met before.
Mother Wang was seen looking at Meng Yinyin with a smile, as if she had seen some rare treasure, which made Meng Yinyin look confused and even a little alert.
"Uh, Wang..." Auntie?
She remembered that Jiang Guihua told her what Mother Wang's name was, but she had forgotten it.
Because Meng Yinyin had never thought about meeting her again in the future, she didn't bother to remember Mother Wang's name.
Seeing this, Mother Wang was not angry. She smiled and told Meng Yinyin her name again.
"Meng Zhiqing, my name is Zhao Shufen, you can just call me Aunt Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinyin obediently called her Aunt Zhao.
Zhao Shufen felt comfortable hearing the soft voice.
As expected, this girl is good-looking and has a nice voice. If I had such a well-behaved girl by my side, I would probably eat a few more bowls of rice just by looking at her.
Of course, there is another biggest reason why Zhao Shufen is so satisfied with Meng Yinyin. That is, after her two sons came back yesterday, the second son clearly expressed his satisfaction with Meng Yinyin.
This is the first girl that her son feels satisfied with and even likes after seeing so many girls. As a mother, she has to take her seriously!
If nothing unexpected happens, Meng Yinyin will be his daughter-in-law in the future!
"Yinyin, what are you doing in town today? Have you finished your work? If you have, why don't you go to Auntie's house for lunch? Auntie's cooking skills are great. I can cook whatever you want!"
Meng Yinyin once again felt that Zhao Shufen's enthusiasm was too much and she was a little overwhelmed.
Although she knew that she was likable, she still understood that those who showed kindness to others for no reason were either evil or thieves.
So Meng Yinyin refused without even thinking about it.
"Aunt Zhao, thank you for your kindness, but I don't have much to do. I will go back after I finish my work. I have to go back to work in the afternoon. I don't want my personal affairs to affect the progress of the entire team!"
Meng Yinyin said this in a serious manner, as if she was not the one who was desperately trying to avoid labor every day.
Zhao Shufen really didn't expect Meng Yinyin to use the matter of going to work as an excuse, and suddenly she didn't know how to continue persuading her.
She wanted to say that she could only earn a few work points a day by working, so it would be better to marry into their family and enjoy a good life, but she didn't dare to say that.
"Just have lunch. After lunch, I'll take you back to the team on my bike. It'll be quick and won't delay your other things."
Zhao Shufen was still unwilling to give up the opportunity for Meng Yinyin to be with her son.
However, Meng Yinyin still had that upright expression that said "for the sake of the whole team she can't abandon everyone".
Zhao Shufen was completely helpless. She had never expected that the educated youth from the city were actually more hardworking than the native rural people.
Seeing that she had no reason to keep Meng Yinyin at home to discuss the matter, Zhao Shufen could only hesitate and tell the truth.
"Well, Meng Zhiqing, I want to ask you something. Can you tell me?"
Here it comes, here it comes. She knew that this Aunt Zhao must be asking her for help with something!
She was extremely alert, staring at Zhao Shufen with wide eyes, waiting to counter her moves!
What she didn't expect was that Zhao Shufen actually said -
"Meng Zhiqing, do you have any plans to meet someone? Actually, I have a second son, who is 23 years old this year. He is handsome and I am not exaggerating. Moreover, my son is a backbone of the furniture factory and has a bright future. We also have a house. If my second son gets married in the future, it will be no problem for the couple to move out."
"What do you think?"
Zhao Shufen counted on her fingers the conditions of her son and his family. These conditions she mentioned were unique, not to mention in the Nanjiao Brigade, even in this town.
So before, countless girls had racked their brains to marry her second son. He is handsome and has a wealthy family. Wouldn't she have everything if she married him?
She put all these on display now, and she was not afraid that Meng Yinyin would not be tempted.
After saying this, Zhao Shufen looked at Meng Yinyin with full anticipation.
Meng Yinyin finally realized that this enthusiastic Aunt Zhao actually had a crush on her and wanted her to marry her second son!
It has to be said that after knowing Zhao Shufen's thoughts, Meng Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no way. It was because Zhao Shufen's enthusiasm had come too suddenly and strangely that she had been on guard and cautious. Now that she knew her intention, she felt relieved.
As for Zhao Shufen's second son whom she recommended to him, and her family's situation.
To be honest, if this condition was placed in front of Meng Yinyin in the past, she probably wouldn't even consider it, but now she has almost become a "phoenix in distress", which is already a good situation for her.
But if Zhao Shufen had told her about this two days earlier, she would probably have considered it seriously.
But now, who made her make up her mind to be with Lu Chenchu? She is a strong-willed and single-minded person. Now that she has chosen her partner, she will not give up halfway.
So no matter how well Zhao Shufen spoke, or how outstanding her son was, Meng Yinyin could only refuse with tears in her eyes.
She doesn't want to be that kind of indecisive woman.
"Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry. Although I'm not married yet, I actually have someone I like."
Meng Yinyin didn't want her to misunderstand again, so she refused straightforwardly.
When Zhao Shufen heard this, she was completely shocked by Meng Yinyin's words.
"Meng, Meng Zhiqing, didn't you say you were single?"
Meng Yinyin tilted her head in confusion: "I really don't have a partner, but I have someone I like. Maybe he will become my partner soon, and then my husband!"
Meng Yinyin was very happy when she thought that she might live in Lu Chen's house in the future, have a big house to live in, have meat to eat, and not have to work.
Of course, she had to admit that she felt safe and not nervous being with Lu Chen.
So even if other people had the same conditions as Lu Chen at this moment, she probably wouldn't agree so quickly.
Zhao Shufen's heart gradually cooled when she saw that the joy in her eyes when she spoke did not seem fake.
I didn't expect that after my son finally fell in love with a girl, she already had someone else in her heart.
Although Zhao Shufen likes Meng Yinyin very much, she really can't do anything to discriminate against her. Besides, it's not certain whether Meng Yinyin will let them discriminate against her.
But she still had a doubt in her heart, that is -
"Meng Zhiqing, may I ask you one more question? Is the person you like from your hometown, or did you meet him/her after you went to the countryside?"
If it was from her hometown, Zhao Shufen felt that her son might really have no hope.
Because even if she didn't know where Meng Yinyin came from, but looking at her physique and temperament, she must have been brought up as a spoiled child, and the people around her must also be of good quality.
Although their family lives in a good condition in this small town, it is definitely not as good as people in big cities.
But what if the person Meng Yinyin is talking about is someone she met after going to the countryside?
I'm afraid no one in the entire Nanjiao Brigade can compare to her son!
This way, maybe there is still hope for my son!
Seeing that Zhao Shufen still seemed to be unwilling to give up, Meng Yinyin could only sigh silently in her heart, thinking that sometimes being too charming was indeed a troublesome thing. You see, this Aunt Zhao just liked having her as her daughter-in-law too much.
But with Lu Chen around, she felt that she could only disappoint Aunt Zhao.
So the next second, Meng Yinyin said to Zhao Shufen: "I met my crush after I went to the countryside."
Zhao Shufen has already asked this much, and she will not give up if she doesn’t get the answers clearly.
"Is she the educated youth who went with Meng? Although she and Meng may have common topics and may develop feelings for each other after spending time together, Aunt Zhao is an experienced person. This sudden closeness in an unfamiliar environment may not be the love between husband and wife, but perhaps just because they want to seek..." just a companion gathering.
But before she could finish her words, Meng Yinyin immediately shook her head.
“Not an educated youth.”
Not an educated youth! ?
But after going to the countryside, the only people I met were the local members of the commune, apart from the educated youth!
Could it be that the person Meng Yinyin has her eyes on is actually a rural boy who was born and raised in the Nanjiao Brigade? ?
Zhao Shufen was stunned again.
Meng Yinyin's choice is even more surprising than her choice of educated youth.
"Yes, he's not an educated youth, but he's a very nice person and treats me very well. I like him, too."
In fact, what Meng Yinyin wanted to say was that she was quite satisfied with him.
But she couldn't just say that she wanted to be with Lu Chen because of all his qualities. It would be bad if Lu Chen heard it.
But she didn't need to explain it in such detail. After hearing that Meng Yinyin fell in love with a rural boy, Zhao Shufen looked at her with an expression of "disappointment in her marriage".
Meng Yinyin didn't want to care what she thought of her. After all, it was her own life to live, and it was enough for her to be satisfied.
So after seeing Lu Chen had handled the matter, Meng Yinyin smiled and waved to Zhao Shufen, saying goodbye: "Aunt Zhao, we're leaving first, bye!"
After saying that, Meng Yinyin trotted over to Lu Chen and looked up at him.
"Have you finished your work?"
Lu Chen nodded, and before coming out he noticed Meng Yinyin talking to Zhao Shufen.
When the Wang family went to Lu Dashan's house to discuss the marriage, he had met Zhao Shufen once and had an impression of her.
However, because Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua did not introduce him to the Wang family, Lu Chen would not take the initiative to greet Zhao Shufen at this moment, but only lowered his head to ask Meng Yinyin.
"And you?"
"Me?" Meng Yinyin realized what Lu Chen meant after noticing his gaze and shook her head. "Aunt Zhao and I have finished talking. There is nothing else to do. We can go to the next place!"
After hearing her say this, Lu Chen stopped asking questions and prepared to leave with Meng Yinyin.
Zhao Shufen, who was standing by, suddenly frowned and looked at Meng Yinyin in disbelief after seeing how Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen got along.
"Meng Zhiqing, the person you just mentioned, could it be him?"
