At this moment, only Song Xiaojuan and Hu Tou were left at Mai Xiangdong's house; everyone else had gone out to work.
After Hutou ran out, Song Xiaojuan also followed him out to check the situation.
Seeing that it was Mai Xiangbei's family, Song Xiaojuan hurriedly welcomed them in.
"Uncle Four, Aunt Four, you are here, come in and sit down."
Then he sent Hu Tou to the village committee to ask Mai Xiangdong to go home.
In fact, there was no need for Hu Tou to call out, because Mai Xiangdong had already learned from the villagers that Mai Lao San was with him.
The two said yesterday that they would go into the city to find Mai Xiangbei and ask about Mai Sui's relationship, but they didn't expect that Mai Xiangbei would come back on his own today.
Don’t you think this is a coincidence?
When Mai Laosan and Mai Xiangdong came over together, they saw that not only his younger brother Mai Xiangbei and his family of three were sitting in the yard, but there was also a young man.
Mai Xiangbei saw the two and stood up immediately: "Big brother! Third brother!"
Lu Chengye also quickly stood up and greeted politely.
Mai Xiangdong responded with a smile, then turned to Mai Xiangbei and asked, "Old Four, who is this...?"
"Brother, third brother, let me introduce you. This is the son of our machinery factory director, Lu Chengye, 23 years old.
Currently working at the Chengnan Police Station, he is already the captain of the criminal investigation team at a young age. His future is limitless.”
Mai Xiangbei's love for Lu Chengye is beyond words.
However, Mai Xiangdong and Mai Laosan were completely confused.
Afterwards, Mai Xiangbei found an excuse, pulled the two of them into the kitchen, and quietly explained his purpose.
"Third brother, the last time you brought Mai Sui to my house for dinner, Chengye happened to see you.
Didn’t you ask me to be a matchmaker for Mai Sui? I think Chengye is a very good kid.
The other party doesn't mind that Mai Sui is not very smart.
So, I took the initiative and brought the person here.
You go back quickly and tell Mai Sui that we will have lunch at eldest brother’s house so that the two children can see each other.
If it's not appropriate, just say you're my friend and came back with me. It won't affect Mai Sui's reputation."
When Mai Laosan heard that the other party was coming for his daughter, his brainstorming started going into high gear.
In addition, Mai Xiangbei kept listing Lu Chengye's advantages, which made him somewhat tempted.
The other party is the son of the factory director, and he has a good job. After marriage, he will be given a city hukou.
If she is still not satisfied with such a son-in-law, she can only go to heaven and marry the Jade Emperor.
Mai Lao San slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Mai Sui to dress up properly."
As for Shen Xingchen, he had long been forgotten by Mai Lao San.
The policy of sending educated youth to the countryside has been implemented for more than 20 years. Many educated youth have stayed in the countryside for their entire lives and cannot return to the city. Mai Laosan doesn't even want to talk about it.
Between a young and promising city son-in-law and a sickly educated youth, even a fool would know how to choose!
Moreover, in Mai Lao San's opinion, Lu Chengye is no worse than Shen Xingchen in appearance.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and is 183cm tall. If Mai Sui is still not satisfied, he will stand upside down and eat shit!
However, the slap in the face came so quickly.
When Mai Laosan went back to tell Mai Sui, Mai Sui flatly refused.
The advantages mentioned by Mai Lao San are all dispensable to Mai Sui.
Mai Sui doesn’t care about city hukou or a bright future. When she chooses a man, she only looks at his appearance!
In Mai Sui's opinion, Shen Xingchen's looks are top-notch.
What a pure hobby, what a noble character, Mai Laosan didn’t know what to say.
"Then at least go have a meal? Just think of it as going to see your uncle. He brought back a lot of delicious food from the city. They are all your favorites."
Mai Hongcai also helped to persuade: "Yes, sister, every time my uncle comes back, we will go to my uncle's house for a meal. Let's just treat it as a normal meal today."
Mai Sui thought about it and finally agreed: "Okay."
Because if she didn't go, there would be no one at home to cook at noon, and Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai would definitely go over to eat.
Although she could use force to make Mai Lao San and the others stay and cook, using tough measures too much would not be a good idea.
Or maybe, that guy named Lu Chengye is as handsome as Shen Xingchen, so she won’t lose out if she goes to take a look at him.
I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They both hoped that Mai Sui would like Lu Chengye and did not like the sickly Shen Xingchen.
Shen Xingchen rested for a day yesterday and took the medicine he brought from Beijing. He felt much better today.
But Mai Xiangdong was afraid that something might happen to him, so he gave him one more day off.
However, Yang Lin does not need to take a holiday. Shen Xingchen can already take care of herself, so Yang Lin can go back to work in the fields as usual.
Yang Lin: Woo woo woo….
"Cars entering the village" caused a sensation in the entire Lotus Village. Li Qiming and his friends talked about it when they came back for lunch at noon, and Shen Xingchen also knew about it.
When Shen Xingchen heard that in addition to Mai Xiangbei's family, there was also a young man in his early twenties, for some reason, he suddenly had an ominous sixth sense and ate two less bites of his meal.
At this moment, Mai Xiangdong's house was a scene of joy and peace.
Not only Mai Laosan's family came, but Mai Xiangnan's family also came.
There were exactly twenty people in total, and one table couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to eat at two tables in the yard.
Mai Xiangbei was afraid that his elder brother and sister-in-law were not prepared, so he specially bought pork from the city and brought it back.
Add to that the fish that Mai Sui caught the day before, and it was like New Year’s Day with both fish and meat.
As soon as Lu Chengye saw the wheat ears, his heart started pounding and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands.
Mai Sui looked at the other person openly. His wheat-colored skin made him look very healthy.
The shirt wraps around the muscles of his upper body, and you can vaguely see his good figure with eight pack abdominal muscles. It should be nice to touch.
His eyes are bright and his teeth are white, giving people the feeling that he is upright and full of sunshine and vitality.
Compared with Shen Xingchen, who is cold, abstinent, sickly and distant, they are completely different types of people.
There is no doubt that Lu Chengye is also a handsome guy, but he is not the type that Mai Sui likes.
When Mai Sui saw Lu Chengye, she didn't want to get close to him, but wanted to learn from him.
With just this, it would be strange if you could succeed!
Mai Laosan had been silently paying attention to Mai Sui's reaction. When he saw that she didn't have any girlish shyness and just kept eating, he knew there was no hope.
What Mai Lao San didn't know was that Mai Sui also saw the same dead look in Shen Xingchen's eyes.
Mai Sui’s liking is just pure liking, and she hasn’t really understood the relationship between men and women yet.
Mai Xiangdong didn't want his niece to miss such a good marriage, so he kept busy.
He picked up a piece of fish for Lu Chengye and introduced it enthusiastically:
"Chengye, come and eat more. This is the fish that Mai Sui caught himself."
After saying that, he winked at Lu Chengye, asking him to take the initiative.
Mai Xiangdong could see that Lu Chengye was extremely satisfied with Mai Sui. As long as Mai Sui nodded, the matter would be settled.
Lu Chengye glanced at Mai Xiangdong gratefully, then turned to Mai Sui and said:
"Comrade Mai Sui, do you know how to fish? I can, too. Why don't we go fishing together some other day?"
"I think we should do it today instead of another day. After dinner, you can go fishing by the river. The fish in the river are especially plump at this time of year."
Mai Xiangdong made the decision for them directly.
Today's meal was prepared by Tian Guifen and Guo Hongmei.
Their cooking skills are many times better than those of Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai, and Mai Sui ate too much without realizing it.
So, he simply agreed to go to the river with Lu Chengye to walk and digest the food, but he didn't take the fishing rod.
Lu Chengye didn't really want to go fishing, he just wanted to talk to Mai Sui and spend more time with her.
The two of them came to the river.
The riverside was very close to the educated youth point.
Shen Xingchen didn't know what was wrong with him, but he somehow decided to go to the river to get some fresh air.
Then, I met Mai Sui and Lu Chengye who were on a 'date'.
