Chapter 9
After being rebuked by his wife, Zhao Ming could only smile awkwardly.
"It is true that there is something going on. It is the busy farming season. Is there anything that is happening at home that Yu Ping is visiting? If there is anything that needs help, please do not just ignore it and try to lend a hand if you can."
Zhao Ming felt that the Zhao family was not an unkind family, so he didn't understand why the Yu family was so confused.
"Nothing." Yu Ping thought about it. He didn't want his father-in-law to think that he was hiding something, so he said honestly, "It's my third sister. A relative in my family found a marriage for her. The man is from the city. She came up to ask around and see me."
After hearing this, Zhao Ming understood.
I thought that they knew how to do things. This relative-in-law didn't take advantage of my family at all by bringing so many things.
He didn't think a girl could bring so much meat and vegetables to them without telling her family. He instinctively thought that the Yu family was good at handling things, and that it wasn't a big deal, so he asked casually, "Whose family are you from? I want to see if I know them."
"Why don't you know him? He is Liu Yuan's son Liu Yang." Wang Lian spoke first.
Zhao Ming's expression changed immediately. "The Liu family? How can that work?" He shook his head. "Not to mention that the man in his family doesn't like your sister because she's from the countryside. Even if she does, this marriage won't work. The Liu family, no."
Yu Ping had already believed what his wife and mother-in-law said, but he didn't expect that even his father-in-law was so sure. It seemed that there was something wrong. Fortunately, his third sister came to ask him, otherwise he couldn't imagine that the family that could make his father-in-law so resistant could not be a good one.
Wang Lian also agreed, "Indeed, it's better for us to have less dealings with this family."
Zhao Ming nodded, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "Yu Ping, I won't harm your sister. The Liu family is not a good place to go. Let's put it this way. Old Liu has bad intentions. Liu Yang looks like a quiet person, but a son of a dragon will dig holes. We can't let the third girl take risks."
Wang Lian: "And if you ask around, you'll know that Liu Yang's mother is not someone who is easy to get along with. If his family really agrees to a marriage in the countryside, then I think Liu Yang must have other problems besides his limp."
The two of them were talking back and forth. Not to mention Yu Ping and Zhao Tian, even Gu Qing on the side was a little curious about the Liu family. He understood what was going on, but it was not his turn to say anything. He could only watch and eat in silence.
Finally, Zhao Tian noticed Gu Qing's embarrassment, and she interrupted, "Mom and Dad, it's okay, Gu Qing is still here, let's go downstairs and talk."
Immediately, the couple looked embarrassed. Well, why say so much in front of the guests?
But the truth is...
Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly, "I didn't treat Xiao Gu as an outsider. Haha, the old leader also knows Liu Yuan. I can't talk about his past bad deeds. If you run into him in the future, don't believe what he says."
Gu Qing nodded. He could see that the Zhao family really didn't consider him an outsider. It was quite interesting to see the couple so excited just now, as if they were afraid that the girl would jump into the fire pit.
"Yes, I understand, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Tian also smiled awkwardly, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't care, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'll stay in the factory for a few days to see if I can introduce a suitable person to my third sister."
Zhao Ming raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qing.
Isn't this a coincidence?
But then he looked regretful, it was not that he looked down on the poor and middle peasants. If he did, he wouldn't be able to become relatives with the Yu family, but this was too far away.
Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Tian saw his eyes and asked hurriedly, "Gu Qing, do you have a date? How about I introduce you to someone?" She didn't dare to be too straightforward and added, "What conditions do you want?"
It was just a casual question, but Gu Qing answered seriously, "As long as you can live a good life and understand my work, that's enough."
Now even Zhao Ming looked at him in surprise. If he was right, this meant that he was willing to take a look at Sister Yu Ping?
But he really didn't dare to think about it, so he confirmed: "You should ask the old leader about family background and other conditions."
"This is my personal matter, my grandpa listens to me, if you don't believe me, you can go ask Uncle Zhao later."
Now Zhao Tian was happy. In her opinion, her sister-in-law was still very good. Why did Liu Yang's mother still look down on her?
"Then I will boldly introduce you to my sister-in-law." She nudged her man and said, "Yu Ping, talk to Gu Qing. Don't worry about the person my father brought back. She will definitely treat my third sister well."
Although Yu Ping doesn't talk much, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to judge people. It's obvious that Gu Qing comes from an extraordinary family, and he himself holds a high position.
Everyone says to marry someone of lower status and marry someone of higher status, but can you really live a good life if the gap is too big?
When he first started dating Zhao Tian, he didn't know a lot of things Zhao Tian said. It was only when they worked in the same factory that the topic of their relationship slowly developed.
But Gu Qing couldn't talk about military affairs with his sister. Yu Ping was not very optimistic. It was not that he looked down on his third sister, but they were just not from the same world.
"Tiantian, what are you talking about? How can our family marry into the chief's family? Brother Gu, don't take it too seriously. My wife just wants to help my third sister."
These words made Zhao Tian feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't blame Yu Ping, but she felt sorry for him.
With such a situation at home and the fact that he himself had suffered so much since he was a child, he still considered others in everything.
Because of her poor health since childhood, Zhao Tian was well protected by her family. While she remained innocent, she was also quite sensitive inside.
Yu Ping saw that she was unhappy, and he panicked for a moment and felt a little at a loss.
After hearing what he said, Gu Qing did not insist. If there was no fate, then there was no fate, and there was no need for him to rush into poverty alleviation.
Because of this incident, no one spoke much afterwards. Zhao Ming was not in a good position to bring up the matter of introducing a girl to Gu Qing at the dinner table, so he decided to ask his wife to help.
This incident did not have much impact on Gu Qing. He just thought of himself as coming to Uncle Zhao's house for a meal. It was common for them to go to different houses for meals when they were in the military compound.
After dinner, Zhao Ming walked Gu Qing downstairs with a somewhat apologetic look on his face.
Gu Qing knew what the other party meant, and spoke in a more friendly manner, "Uncle Zhao, please stay. I can go back by myself."
Zhao Ming had been around for so long that he had learned to be tactful. He smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to your uncle Zhao? I want to talk to you more. If I hadn't known that you had to accompany your grandfather, I would have let you stay at home for a night."
Having said that, Zhao Ming was thinking about explaining in his mind. The old leader had done him a favor, and Gu Qing was his junior, and the two families couldn't have any grudges.
After going downstairs, he slowly talked about this matter.
"Gu Qing, don't take what happened just now too seriously. The situation in my son-in-law's family is a little special. Although they are all farmers, they are all nice people. Qingyang Village is a bit far from our county town, and we don't have much contact with each other. If the girl didn't have something to do, she might not have come. She also brought so many wild delicacies and wild boar meat. My Tiantian just feels sorry for their family..."
Gu Qing felt something was not right the more he listened, so he asked, "Uncle Zhao, where is their home in Qingyang Village?"
He finally understood why he looked so kind to Yu Pian. There seemed to be some similarities between his eyebrows and the girl's.
"What's wrong? Have you been to Qingyang Village?"
Gu Qing hummed, "I've been there once, maybe I really know their house."
The night before, after they completed their mission, he went to the mountains to look for the girl again, but he didn't see anyone or the wild boar. Although he didn't see how she got rid of the wild boar, he thought that with her good skills, it shouldn't be a problem for her to get rid of a wild boar.
Gu Qing was a little skeptical about her at first. It was very suspicious for a country girl to have such skills.
But when he followed the other party's trail and found the family, his doubts were basically eliminated. Although it was deliberately covered up, there were still traces everywhere.
They have been fighting enemy spies for so many years, and have never seen any enemy spies act so carelessly.
Thinking back to how she looked on the bus yesterday, that person was most likely Yu Ping's third sister.
Gu Qing did not suspect that the other party was approaching him on purpose. Going to Uncle Zhao's house was a spur of the moment decision. According to his previous personality, he would never go there, and he trusted his grandfather's people.
So, if it is that girl, Gu Qing might be able to do it.
Although Zhao Ming found it strange, the other party did not elaborate, which obviously meant that he did not want to say it or could not say it, so he did not ask more questions and only talked about the location of the Yu family.
"Their home is quite far from the village entrance. There is a mountain behind them and the Xiaojing River is not far in front of them. The scenery is nice. By the way, there is a big walnut tree in front of their house."
Walnut tree, that's it.
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I may have seen that girl. Please help me call my brother-in-law down so I can talk to him. If it's suitable, I would like to meet that girl."
Zhao Ming never expected that things would develop like this, but thinking about his son-in-law's temper, he couldn't help but say: "I actually know what my son-in-law is worried about. Their family is very different from yours, and he is afraid that his sister will be wronged if she goes to your house."
"Uncle Zhao, if I really have a connection with her, I will definitely treat her well. As for following the army, aren't there many sisters-in-law who come from the countryside? Who would look down on her just because she is from the countryside? That's a mistake! As for my family, look at my grandfather, can't you trust my family?"
That makes sense. There's no reason to turn down such a good marriage.
"Okay, wait, I'll go up and call people for you. How about you go up? They are all family members."
Gu Qing looked up at the sky, frowned and said, "How about this, Uncle Zhao, go back and tell your brother-in-law first, and I will come to visit you formally tomorrow at noon."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Ming felt that the marriage was almost done.
The other party is a capable person, and the son-in-law should be relieved that their family can finally help the family with some extra money.
"Okay, good boy, uncle will help you talk tonight."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"
