As the conversation went on, it somehow veered into Hua Zhian's marriage.
Hua Guangzong felt that there were some things Hua Baoguo should know, so he handed over the task of picking him up and dropping him off to Hua Baoguo. "I've been following him around these past few days. Although I can pass the time by fishing, I'm tired. Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of picking him up and dropping him off."
If you don't want to come back, you can go fishing in the nearby river. That way, you can bring some back with you when you go to work to add to your meal.
Hua Baoguo thought of the row of dried fish hanging under the eaves as he entered the house. "Dad, don't we have this many at home?"
"So what if I have some? I caught them all myself. You think you can get something for nothing?" Hua Guangzong said irritably. "You're on vacation now, so go catch as many as you want to eat."
There might even be some left over; I could treat my colleagues to a meal.
Hua Baoguo looked at Hua Zhian and said, "This kind of pick-up and drop-off isn't a solution. Why don't we settle his marriage sooner rather than later, so that others won't keep an eye on him?"
He didn't have a good impression of Zhou's daughter the last time she came back, and coupled with his grudge against her, such a person was even less suitable to enter the Hua family.
"I've been trying to find him a partner these days, but I don't know what kind of taste this kid has. He always finds something wrong with him, or he just says he doesn't like him."
Our county town is so small; if we let him keep causing trouble, we'll probably offend everyone.
Speaking of this, Hua Guangzong felt angry. Today, when he went out, he heard Liu Tiezhu laughing at him for having high standards, without even looking at his own conditions.
Hua Zhian was restless and tried to leave several times, but his older brother grabbed him each time, saying, "It's not that I want to pick a fight, it's just that they really have a lot of problems."
"Could it be that you already have someone in mind?" Hua Zhiping asked Hua Zhian thoughtfully.
"How is that possible?" Hua Zhian quickly waved his hand. "I have family members with me when I go to and from get off work. Now I avoid everyone I see."
Speaking of this, Hua Zhian was also very troubled. At first, everyone thought that his grandfather had just happened to go fishing there, but after so many days, there was a rumor in the factory that he was having an affair, and now his family disapproved and were on guard.
I don't know where this rumor came from, but it's been spreading like wildfire in the factory these past few days, and several people have already warned me about it privately.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi was there today, so they were somewhat considerate of his feelings. Soon, the family surrounded Jiang Yi again, asking about his life and work.
Hua Xiangyun and Li Lijuan went to the kitchen several times, hoping to see if there was anything they could help with, but they were always turned away.
Seeing Xun Liangfen being bossed around, the two of them really didn't want to be there.
They couldn't easily join in the conversation between the men, so the two sisters-in-law had no choice but to return to Hua Xiangyun's room.
Seeing that the room was neatly tidy and not as flashy as other girls' rooms, with books filling the desk and shelves, Li Lijuan praised her in her heart, thinking that her sister-in-law was quite diligent in her studies.
“I think Comrade Jiang is quite good,” Li Lijuan thought her mother-in-law was unreliable and even less likely to let her sister-in-law be swayed by her. “Ever since the news of your relationship spread, our relatives have been asking about it.”
Hua Xiangyun said, "The county town is quite small." There are only a few streets and a few factories, and that's about all the news that gets passed around.
"There's nothing we can do. Comrade Jiang is a celebrity, and now everyone says you've fallen into a lucky hole."
But I think Comrade Jiang got a great deal. If you weren't so young, our doorstep would have been worn down by customers long ago. How could it be his turn?
Hua Xiangyun wasn't embarrassed by the praise; instead, she smiled gracefully and said, "Sister-in-law, although we're family, you don't need to praise me like this, do you?"
“I, your sister-in-law, never lie,” Li Lijuan said, expressing her satisfaction with the Hua family, except for the somewhat unreliable mothers-in-law.
However, although his mother-in-law is unreliable, Zhiping is not close to his mother, so he probably won't take her side when things happen, which is enough.
Although her sister-in-law is pampered by her family, she has a really good temper and personality, and they treat her, her sister-in-law, with great respect, so she is willing to show her some affection in return.
"Your older brother was telling me privately that if Jiang Yi wasn't suitable in every way, he really wouldn't want you to get married so early."
"But since we'll be living close by now, if he's worried, he can go check on things morning and night, that's fine too."
After Li Lijuan finished speaking, she didn't forget to say a good word for Jiang Yi, so that her sister-in-law wouldn't be coaxed away by her mother-in-law one day. "We women still have to marry close by, so that we have our own families to help take care of us and we feel more confident."
Look, my mother married my sister and me off to the county town, so we can take care of each other if anything happens at home.
Those who marry far away, even if they say sweet things before marriage, that they will come back to visit more often.
When it comes to actually living together, there are always various reasons. Some women, even those who marry far away or to the next county, rarely come back even once a year.
Seeing Li Lijuan deep in thought, Hua Xiangyun guessed that she must have a friend or acquaintance who had married far away.
"So having wise parents can save your children and grandchildren from many detours." Hua Xiangyun also knows that many women suffer from marrying far away. It's not that marrying far away is unhappy, but that such a chance is very small.
She had a plan in mind: after she got married, she would find a way to bring her grandparents to live with her, so that she and Jiang Yi wouldn't feel too lonely.
“Yes, when we women look for a partner, we mainly look at the person. If we really talk about family background, then the comparisons will never end.” Li Lijuan came back to her senses and continued to share her experience with her sister-in-law. Such a good girl, don’t let her mother-in-law ruin her.
Hua Xiangyun followed suit, and the two sisters-in-law chatted for a while, forgetting the time outside.
The aroma of food wafted in, and Hua Xiangyun covered her mouth and laughed, "I bet these neighbors will start saying sarcastic things again when I leave tomorrow morning."
“Anyway, we’ve heard plenty of these sarcastic remarks,” Li Lijuan said, rubbing her stomach and feeling a bit hungry. “I feel like my belly has gotten a lot bigger these past few days, and I get hungry faster than before.”
Hua Xiangyun said, "That's because my little nephew is growing. If you're still worried, you can go to the hospital to have him checked."
Li Lijuan shook her head. "No need for that. Many people don't go to the hospital from pregnancy to birth. I've been there several times. Some people say I'm being fussy."
Hua Xiangyun said, "Let them say what they want. Let's get it checked out. It'll put our minds at ease. Besides, it won't cost much."
"And with a doctor helping with the checkups and taking care of us, we feel much more at ease."
Li Lijuan had no concept of prenatal checkups. Everyone around her went through the same process, but she was always going to the hospital. It was a bit unusual, and people who knew her thought she wasn't having a good pregnancy and had stopped going.
