Talking

Ma Xiuzhi choked, unable to find words to refute the lady.

The two continued to walk forward. The dusk had not yet ended, and a faint warm yellow hung in the distance.

"Fan Zhiqing must have good fortune after surviving a disaster, thanks to you saving him..." Ma Xiuzhi pursed her lips and asked tentatively: "Qingqing, your method really saved people? But your elder brother is so knowledgeable and has read so many books. I asked him, and he said he didn't know."

At first, when Ma Xiuzhi heard about this, her first reaction was to not believe it, but later she got confirmation from Liang Xueyong, and she couldn't understand it anymore. Qingqing has always been smart and would not do anything that would not benefit herself.

But it just happened!

Qingqing's reputation in the village was not very good to begin with, and this incident made it even worse. Just from what those people said just now, it can be seen. For

a girl, how important is reputation? Qingqing must know it without her saying it.

"Of course it was to save people. If it wasn't to save people, there's nothing wrong with my brain. How could I kiss Fan Yanxing in that situation?" Liang Qingqing sighed helplessly. If it were in the future, even if a man and a woman kissed on the street, it would not attract special attention. It's not like now that she would be doing something treasonous if she saved someone.

But she also knew that medical knowledge had not been widely popularized in this era, and many people didn't know what artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation were. When they first saw her kissing Fan Yanxing's mouth, they would definitely feel surprised and shocked.

She expected some gossip to spread, but she had no other choice at the time. If she didn't save him, Fan Yanxing might die, and her bright and prosperous future would be ruined. So even if she had to explain it to people again and again and listen to people's gossip again and again, she didn't regret it.

"Brother doesn't know because there are no medical books among the books he usually reads. I only found out when I went to the county town and happened to see a doctor saving a drowning person by the river." Liang Qingqing took out the reason she had thought of long ago and said it without blushing or beating her heart.

Ma Xiuzhi trusted her daughter and put aside her previous doubts. She smiled again, but then she thought of something and collapsed. "That group of people actually had the nerve to say that you did it on purpose in order to marry Fan Zhiqing! Bah!" Hearing this

, Liang Qingqing felt a little guilty. Although she didn't have this idea when she saved the man, fundamentally speaking, this was indeed her purpose.

"My daughter is kind and sensible, but she saved a life!" Ma Xiuzhi's face showed obvious pride. She praised Liang Qingqing again and again, and finally reminded her: "Mom knows that you must have made the decision in an emergency in order to save people."

"But isn't it too impulsive? Don't you care about your own reputation?"

Liang Qingqing knew that Ma Xiuzhi was just trying to make her remember and didn't really mean to blame her, so she hugged Ma Xiuzhi tighter and laughed: "Mom, I know all these reasons, next time I will definitely..."

"What next time? There will be no next time!"

"Okay, okay, whatever mom says is right."

The atmosphere eased a lot because of Liang Qingqing's soft and coquettish voice. The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. They bought salt from the salesperson before setting off on their way home.

Ma Xiuzhi took this opportunity to talk to Liang Qingqing about serious matters: "You are old enough to get married. Although I haven't told you, I have been looking for you in secret."

"There are several families with good conditions and interest in you, but they have been silent after this incident..."

After the voice fell, Ma Xiuzhi sighed, seeming to be quite regretful, while Liang Qingqing's eyes widened. Mother was looking for a partner for her? How come she didn't notice it at all?

Thinking of Fan Yanxing who was still at home helping Liang Junqiang to fetch water, Liang Qingqing suddenly felt a little itchy and cold on her back.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me?" She stretched out the tail tone, obviously unwilling.

Ma Xiuzhi glared at her coquettishly, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you are too shy, and you followed Su..."

Ma Xiuzhi suddenly stopped talking halfway, but Liang Qingqing guessed what she was going to say, which was nothing more than that the original owner had always been following Su Jinchuan and was determined to marry him, and then she came to this world by accident and pretended to be heartbroken, so Ma Xiuzhi didn't tell her about it. In addition, nowadays,

dating and marriage are all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Generally, the parents and the matchmaker will discuss and see each other, and at the end they will notify the younger generation in the family, and then they will meet each other secretly at home. If they are attracted to each other, they will proceed to the next step, and if they are not attracted to each other, they will change to another family.

"Anyway, mother is keeping an eye out for you. I will definitely find you a good family and won't let you suffer any loss." Ma Xiuzhi said this with a complicated look in her eyes. It's not that easy to marry a daughter off. If you choose the wrong person, it will ruin your daughter's life for nothing! So you have to be careful, and be careful again.

Liang Qingqing held her forehead and negotiated helplessly: "Mom, I have my own ideas. Can you please stop showing me your boyfriend for now? I can't bear to leave you and dad, and I don't want to get married so soon..."

"Do you think mom can bear to do that?" Ma Xiuzhi's voice trembled, "But if I don't show you your boyfriend, you will become an old maid, and you won't be able to get married. Mom and dad can't be with you for the rest of your life. Although your two brothers are good to you, they are not the same after all. What can you do?"

"Mom, you are doing this for my own good. I understand the truth. But how can I not get married? Thanks to you and dad, I am so beautiful. It's not my loss if I can't get married." Liang Qingqing saw that Ma Xiuzhi was in a bad mood, and hurriedly held her face with a smile, smiling jokingly.

"Besides, who says you have to get married? Everyone has their own choices. I think you can live a good life without getting married."

Hearing the first sentence, Ma Xiuzhi squinted her eyes with joy, but when she heard the second half, she was frightened and exclaimed: "How can you not get married? Qingqing, you can't have such an idea."

"Oh, I'm just talking." Liang Qingqing didn't want to argue with Ma Xiuzhi about this topic, so she continued: "Anyway, mother, don't help me find someone for now. Let's wait until this storm is over."

Ma Xiuzhi thought so too. Now is the time when rumors are rampant. It is estimated that no matter who they find someone, they will be discouraged by the rumors in the end. It is better to wait for some time.

The two continued to walk forward. Liang Qingqing suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "Mom, why don't you consider Fan Zhiqing?"

When something like this happens, wouldn't they usually force her to be with Fan Yanxing? It would not only calm the rumors, but also create a good story. Even when Fan Yanxing first learned about this in the hospital, his first reaction was to take responsibility for her, although she refused...

And according to her, her family admired Fan Yanxing very much, so there was no reason not to mention him at all?

After she finished speaking, she was full of doubts when she saw Ma Xiuzhi look at her with a complicated expression, and then hesitantly for a long time without being able to say anything.

Suddenly, a string in Liang Qingqing's mind snapped. No way? Everyone in her family actually agreed that she was not worthy of Fan Yanxing!

So it was not that she didn't mention it, but she didn't dare to mention it, for fear of being rejected by Fan Yanxing. Then it would be embarrassing, and she would lose face and destroy the originally friendly relationship.

Okay, okay, Liang Qingqing was almost laughing, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the facts were in front of her. She was indeed not worthy of Fan Yanxing in all aspects. Let alone marrying him, to put it bluntly, she was not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingqing was glad that such a man had fallen in love with her and could help her realize her dream of having no worries about food and clothing. But on the other hand, she felt aggrieved. She had always been someone else's child, excellent in every way, and had never been crushed to this extent.

After a long pause, Liang Qingqing gritted her teeth and tried to smooth things over: "I misunderstood. Fan Zhiqing is the kind of person who wants to build a career before starting a family. How could he think about these things?"

"Fan Zhiqing is four years older than you. He has been in the village for so long and has never thought of getting married and having children. Mother thinks he is waiting for the opportunity to return to the city. Not only him, mother thinks all the educated youth have this idea. If there is a chance to return to the city in the future, they will definitely seize it."

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing was stunned. She didn't expect Ma Xiuzhi to think so far ahead and guess so accurately. In the future, when the educated youth return to the city, there will be quite a few who will abandon their wives and children. In the end, the only ones who will suffer are the rural people who start a family with them.

"Mom can see that Fan Zhiqing is a young man with great ambitions, and he is a good destination. However, things are unpredictable. Mom just wants you to live in peace and happiness for the rest of your life, so it is better to find a down-to-earth and capable young man. By our side, your parents and your brother and sister-in-law can also help."

"If you are wronged, your brother's slap will hit him in the face in the next second. Isn't this better than anything else?"

Ma Xiuzhi looked forward and did not notice Liang Qingqing's complicated eyes.

She didn't expect Ma Xiuzhi to think this way, and she was destined to disappoint her.

The conversation between the mother and daughter ended a second before they entered the house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Songzi sitting on the porch holding paper and pen, waiting. As soon as they saw them, they rushed up and hugged Liang Qingqing's legs.

"This child." Ma Xiuzhi smiled and shook her head, then carried the salt pot to the kitchen, "Take him to paint."

"Okay, let's go, Songzi." Liang Qingqing followed the agreement and led Songzi to the main hall. She looked around the yard with the corner of her eyes, but didn't see any familiar figures, so she asked casually: "Where are your father and second uncle?"

"Dad and mother went to the private plot, second uncle and uncle Yanxing were chopping firewood in the backyard, second sister-in-law was helping, and grandpa was still at Grandpa Chen's house and hadn't come back yet." Songzi was well-behaved and told everyone in the family about their movements.

After fetching water, he found another job for himself. So diligent? Don't you know how to take a break?

Liang Qingqing glanced in the direction of the backyard and then retracted his gaze, and began to concentrate on teaching Songzi to draw. After teaching for a while, he was already able to draw some common flowers and plants in a decent manner. It

was not until it was completely dark that they put away the paper and pens for fear of damaging their eyes.
