Liang put down the tea and left. She went back to her parents' home in the afternoon and it took her two hours to go back and forth. Naturally, she had to sit for a while when she got to her parents' home.

Lin Yiyi walked in carrying some tea leaves. The more she smelled the tea leaves, the more comfortable they became.

Xiao Yu: "The tea sent by the third daughter-in-law?" He also heard Liang's voice, "There is indeed a lot of tea in the Hongcha production team. Half of the mountain is covered with tea."

Lin Yiyi: "You know? Have you been there?"

Xiao Yu: "I've been there when I was a kid. My grandmother's home is in Dongshan Village Production Brigade, right next to Hongcha Production Brigade. When we go to Dongshan Village Production Brigade, we'll pass by Hongcha Production Brigade and see the tea trees halfway up the mountain. When we went there as a kid, my cousins ​​would take us there to play. By the way, my third brother's wife was introduced to him by my second aunt. My second aunt is also from Hongcha Production Brigade and is a little familiar with my third brother's wife's family. She saw that my third brother's wife was a nice person, so she introduced her to him." Also, at that time people said that wives were cheap.

Lin Yiyi: "So that's how it is. I heard from my third brother's wife that the Hongcha production team is very poor."

Xiao Yu: "Well, the tea trees on the hillside took up a lot of land, especially when the tea harvest was in season and it was the busy farming season, they were too busy to handle it, delaying here and there, plus the tea was cheap, so the Hongcha production brigade could be said to be the poorest in the entire commune."

Lin Yiyi listened and couldn't help sighing. In this era, ordinary people don't drink tea. How many people drink tea? You know, this is an era when most people are ordinary people.

However, Lin Yiyi already had an idea about the Yuhong Tea Production Brigade. She planned to talk to President Cheng about it after she went to work at the commune. There was something more important at the moment. "What did Zhang Gongan say about my cousin?"

Xiao Yu repeated Zhang Ming's words: "What do you think?"

Lin Yiyi said, "Tomorrow is Saturday. I'll talk to mom later. I'll go to grandma's house tomorrow and tell my aunt about this. When you go to work tomorrow, tell Zhang Ming to come over for lunch on Sunday. Even if my cousin has something else to do tomorrow, it's not a big deal for Zhang Ming to come over for dinner."

Xiao Yu said: "Okay."

After eating and cleaning up, Lin Yiyi went to look for Qin Xiangju. On the way, she met Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu with Xiao Jixiang. The three children came to their house to play.

"Second aunt."

"Second aunt."

The three children called out obediently. Children in the countryside like to visit their neighbors after dinner.

Lin Yiyi: "Hey, go play, Xiaowu and Sijun are

. "

The three children went there skipping and jumping.

Lin Yiyi went to the Xiao family's old house and told Qin Xiangju about this. Qin Xiangju said, "Why don't we go to Dongshan Village tomorrow? Why don't we go now? It's still early and riding a bicycle is pretty fast."

Lin Yiyi thought about it. It was only six o'clock, but it was summer, so it got dark more slowly. She said, "Okay."

So, Lin Yiyi went home and pushed the bicycle out.

Xiao Yu: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yiyi: "My mother and I are going to my aunt's house. My mother said it would be better to go now. If it's not convenient there tomorrow, it will save Zhang the trouble of going back and forth."

Xiao Yu: "...Okay, be careful on the road." The two female comrades were so energetic and could really make some trouble.

Forty minutes later, Lin Yiyi drove Qin Xiangju to the Dongshan Village Production Brigade. The road was not that far, but the road conditions were not very good, so Lin Yiyi rode slowly.

The Qin family had split up a long time ago. It wasn't because the Qin family's grandparents were open-minded, but because there were too many sons in the Qin family. Qin Xiangju was the only daughter. With so many sons, the sons would marry wives and have grandchildren. If the family didn't split up, how would they live here? Even a big house wouldn't be enough to accommodate them.

Qin Xiangju has five older brothers and one younger brother, and six brothers from her mother's side. When she was a girl, no one dared to bully her no matter where she went in the countryside.

Not all of the six brothers of the Qin family live close to each other, but Uncle Qin lives with his grandparents, and Uncle Qin II also lives close to them, so when Lin Yiyi brought Qin Xiangju here, Uncle Qin II's family was also watching the house.

To be honest, when she saw the elderly sister-in-law riding a bicycle towards her, Aunt Qin thought she was seeing things. When she came to her senses, she shouted, "Xiangju...Xiangju, why are you here?" Then she ran outside.

All the children from Uncle Qin's family followed him out, both big and small.

"Auntie..." Several children shouted at Qin Xiangju.

However, Qin Xiangju was facing a group of children and had no food with her.

Qin Xiangju said, "I'm here to see my eldest sister-in-law. I have something to tell you. Second sister-in-law, I'll go over there first and talk to you later."

Qin's second uncle: "I'll go with you." And listen to some gossip. People who like to tell others about their relatives usually like to listen to gossip.

Aunt Qin from next door had heard the noise from here a long time ago. She and Grandma Qin and others had been watching at the door. When they saw Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju coming over, Grandma Qin said first: "Xiangju, why are you here with your grandson's wife?" And they came at this time.

Qin Xiangju said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law and I are here to see my eldest sister-in-law.

. "

Lin Yiyi: "Grandma, aunt."

Aunt Qin: "Come to see me, what is this?"

Qin Xiangju: "Let's talk about it inside."

Two minutes later

Aunt Qin was stunned: "Really? The other party is a public security officer, with such a good status, would he... would he like our Yuanyuan?" She had never thought that a public security officer would like her daughter.

Qin Xiangju: "What happened to Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan's cousin is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau."

After Qin Xiangju said this, Grandma Qin had an idea: "Isn't it because Xiao Yuer is the deputy director that she agreed to the blind date? Will this harm Xiao Yuer?"

Lin Yiyi said: "No, if the other party is a person of bad character, Brother Yu will not help. Why would he introduce such a person to his cousin?" She had met Zhang Ming before, and she could tell at the first meeting that he was not a person of bad character. Of course, she had only met him two or three times, so she couldn't guarantee how good this person was, but Xiao Yu had worked with him for two or three years, so she was sure of Zhang Ming's character.

Aunt Qin said, "Yes, yes, yes, that person is someone Xiaoyuer knows, and Xiaoyuer will not introduce a person with bad character to his cousin. In this case, we are relieved. Yuanyuan and I will come over on Sunday morning. Yiyi, this matter is largely thanks to you. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, your kindness will be remembered by Aunt Qin."

Lin Yiyi said: "They are all relatives, it's nothing."

After telling the Qin family about Zhang Ming, Qin Xiangju took the opportunity to tell them that Lin Yiyi was going to work in the commune. Everyone in the Qin family was shocked.

To be honest, the county town was too far away from them, and the commune cadres were the high-ranking officials they could approach.

After Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju left, Qin's second aunt said, "My sister-in-law is so lucky. She gave birth to a promising son and married a filial daughter-in-law. Among our relatives, whose son is as promising as Xiaoyu'er? He became the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau at a young age. And Xiaoyu's daughter-in-law is the same. She first made money with a pen, then earned a job as a worker for Daqiang, and now she has become a commune official." Although they knew how to make money from royalties, it was too unrealistic. But working in a commune was different. It was real.

Grandma Qin nodded and said, "That's right. Xiangju is so lucky to have found such a good in-law family." When she was young, because she was the only daughter-in-law, her family loved her. After she married into the Xiao family, the Xiao family treated her very well. Now that her son has grown up and his wife is filial, this girl is very happy.

If one can live like this in life, there will be no regrets.

Sunday

Because Zhang Ming and Qin Yuanyuan were going to have a blind date at home today, Lin Yiyi got up early. Just after breakfast, Aunt Qin came with Qin Yuanyuan: "One by one..."

Lin Yiyi said: "Yes."

Aunt Qin said, "Yiyi, I'm feeling uneasy, so I came here early. Also, Yuanyuan is not as smart as you, so I brought her here early. If you can give her some advice, please give her some advice."

Qin Yuanyuan: "Cousin's wife."

Xiao Yu came out of the house, holding Lin Wudi in his arms: "Aunt, Yuanyuan."

Aunt Qin: "Xiao Yu'er is here too."

Qin Yuanyuan: "Second cousin."

Xiao Yu: "You guys chat, I'll go out for a walk."

Lin Wudi was held by Xiao Yu without resistance, and then asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, where are we going? Are we going fishing? Or shrimp fishing? Brother-in-law, can you fish for shrimp?"

Jin-Woo covered his mouth with a hand.

Looking at the two of them, one big and one small, Lin Yiyi shook her head and sighed, then said to Aunt Qin and Qin Yuanyuan, "Aunt Qin, Yuanyuan, come inside and talk."

Aunt Qin: "Hey."

In the hall, Lin Yiyi poured tea for Aunt Qin and Qin Yuanyuan. Then she asked, "Yuanyuan, do you want to go over and sweep the blinds?"

Qin Yuanyuan was a little confused, but still said: "If possible, I am willing to go to the literacy training. Although I can't be as good as my cousin's wife, I know that knowing more words is always good, so I want to know a few more words, but... but there is no such opportunity."

Lin Yiyi said, "That's fine. When I go to the commune, I want to persuade it to open blindness elimination classes for each brigade. Remember to sign up then."

Aunt Qin: "Is this possible?"

Lin Yiyi: "I don't know if it will work, but we have to try. But let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about Zhang Ming. I have met Zhang Ming before, he is a relatively enthusiastic male comrade, our public security comrade, his character must be good, otherwise your cousin would not introduce him. There is an older brother and a younger sister in the family, both of whom are married. Zhang Ming said that if he gets married, he will apply for a vocational college and then separate from the family. In fact, such separation is very common in the county. For example, Grandma Wang next door to my house also separated after her two sons got married. So, if Yuanyuan marries Zhang Ming, her life will definitely be good."

Qin Yuanyuan blushed, but she was also self-aware: "Cousin, I... I don't have any advantages, and I don't look... I don't look that good, so Zhang Gongan will...

Do you fancy me? "

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "I don't know if he will be interested in you, but you may not be interested in him either."

Qin Yuanyuan: “Ah?”

Lin Yiyi said: "Don't be nervous when you meet him, act more relaxed. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes."

Qin Yuanyuan: "But I can't relax."

Lin Yiyi: "I'll teach you an easy way."

Qin Yuanyuan: “?”

Lin Yiyi: "Just think about it, the worst result is that the blind date is unsuccessful, what's so great about this gay man?"

Qin Yuanyuan: “…It seems to make sense.”

Lin Yiyi looked at her attire: a floral top, black trousers, two braids, clean and tidy, with black cloth shoes. However, Qin Yuanyuan's naked height of 163cm was considered tall, and because she was a little thin, she looked even taller.

However, Qin Yuanyuan is a bit dark, with a high forehead, a bald forehead, and because of the two braids, she doesn't look very clean.

Lin Yiyi said: "Yuanyuan can tie her hair up like me, into a ponytail, and cut bangs in the front."

Qin Yuanyuan: "Then I'll take off my braid, but I can't cut my bangs now."

Aunt Qin said, "Wouldn't it look good with the braid tied like this?"

Lin Yiyi: "It's hot now, and it will be even hotter at noon. Can you bear it, cousin?"

Qin Yuanyuan: "Cousin, can you help me cut my bangs? I really feel hot like this."

Lin Yiyi: "Then let me try? I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Qin Yuanyuan said: "It doesn't matter if the haircut is not good. Just like my cousin's wife said, the worst that can happen is that the blind date will not be successful."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, wash your front hair first, otherwise it will be hard to style it in the front after it's been tied."

After Qin Yuanyuan washed her hair, Lin Yiyi cut her bangs. She was afraid of cutting it badly, so she cut it carefully, even cutting a few strands at a time, so it was quite successful after the cut. Then she used a towel to dry the moisture from Qin Yuanyuan's front hair, and then tied her hair into a ponytail. After tying it, she asked Qin's aunt: "Aunt, how is it?" In Lin Yiyi's opinion, it looks better this way, clean and tidy, and the whole person looks much fresher. It's not that the braid is not good-looking, but Qin Yuanyuan is not white and has a high forehead, so the braid is not as clean as a ponytail.

Aunt Qin said: "It is indeed so good, one by one the eyes are still the best."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "I have just mentioned Zhang Ming's conditions. My cousin meets all of his requirements. The only thing she lacks is literacy. Zhang Ming

I hope to find someone who can read, but I am also willing to meet my cousin. I think that when we get to know each other, my cousin can talk about her desire to learn to read and that she thinks it is good for girls to know more words... Of course, these are just little thoughts. If you are satisfied with Zhang Gongan, you can show it. If you are not satisfied with him, you don't have to show it. This is a blind date. He is qualified to choose you, and you are also qualified to choose him. "

Qin Yuanyuan listened.

In fact, Lin Yiyi didn't understand these things. Although she had been on many blind dates, she didn't know much about men. But according to her thinking, Zhang Ming would definitely like ambitious girls, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he wanted to find someone like her, after all, the image she gave to others was that of an ambitious person.
