Matchmaking

The next day was a day off. It was a hard day off, but people who were used to working did not choose to stay at home. Some went to visit relatives, some went to the city, and some went to their private plots. Everyone had their own plans.

The Liang family was no exception. As soon as the morning sun rose, the house began to get busy.

Liang Xueyong and Ma Xiuzhi were going to visit their uncle's two elders. Liang Shuqiang and Liang Junqiang were going to take their wives back to their parents' home for a day and a night, and would return tomorrow morning. In this way, only Liang Qingqing and Fan Yanxing were left at home.

Ma Xiuzhi originally wanted to take Liang Qingqing with her, but she was rejected as soon as she opened her mouth. She said that she had already made an appointment with someone to go to the city to play. Ma Xiuzhi didn't think much about it and thought that she had made an appointment with a good friend, so she didn't force it.

"Where is Fan Zhiqing?"

"I have something to do too." Fan Yanxing smiled and glanced at Liang Qingqing without a trace of tears on his face.

Hearing this, Ma Xiuzhi didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said: "No one is home today, so lock the door, I have the key."

No one else objected, and after making arrangements, everyone went out one after another.

The mountain road to the next village was difficult to walk on. Liang Junqiang's hands were full of things, so he slowed down. Although Huang Shumin was anxious, she curled her lips after seeing the small piece of pork.

She didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so generous this time. She gave her enough face. She could straighten her back when she went back later. Thinking of this, Huang Shumin slowly exhaled.

The two hurried and finally arrived at Huang's house before noon. After entering the village, they met many acquaintances. Seeing them carrying large and small bags, they couldn't help but compliment them, saying that Huang Shumin married a good in-law family. Hearing this, the couple's faces were full of light and they laughed happily.

"Mom and Dad, Junqiang and I are back." Huang Shumin started shouting as soon as she entered the courtyard.

The conditions of the Huang family were not as good as those of the Liang family. Facing the courtyard gate was a small main hall, with a kitchen on the left and a bedroom on the right. The area was not large, but fortunately there were not many people in the family. Huang's father and mother had a daughter and a son. Since Huang Shumin got married, there were only three people left in the family.

"Are you back?" Huang's mother came out of the main hall when she heard the noise. She smiled when she saw them, and then after seeing those things, the smile on her lips deepened a lot, and she hurriedly invited people to sit in the house.

"Shaofeng, your sister and the others are back, hurry up and come out!"

Huang's mother asked Huang Shaofeng to chat with Liang Junqiang in the main hall, and called Huang's father back to accompany them, and then took Huang Shumin into the kitchen to get busy. It was about to be time for dinner, so they had to hurry up and cook a few dishes.

"I guessed that you would come back today, so yesterday I asked your brother to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two big bones to make soup." Huang's mother smiled and opened the cupboard, and took out a wooden basin filled with bones.

Huang Shumin took a look. Although there was not much meat, it was at least a bit of meat. But...

how could her mother, who usually didn't love her, be so generous? She knew that her mother was willing to spend money and time on her brother, but for her daughter, she only wanted a bite to eat.

You know, the last time she went back to her parents' home, there was no meat dish on the table!

Did the sun rise from the west today? Or did the weasel pay New Year's greetings to the chicken with ulterior motives?

Huang Shumin had several thoughts in her mind, but after seeing her mother busying around, she stopped her guessing. What if her mother just wanted to save face for her in front of her new son-in-law?

After all, she brought back a lot of things when she returned home. Maybe she had tasted the sweetness and felt that she was already married and would not eat or use the family's food in the future. Instead, she would bring things back every time she came back. Being nice to them in front of the military strongmen would only bring benefits and no harm.

No matter what, she was happy that her mother was willing to treat her well.

"Then I'll go peel some radishes and put them in the soup to cook later?"

"Okay."

When the two were busy, Liang Junqiang said he wanted to come over to help, but was pulled back by Huang's father and Huang Shaofeng, "Why should a man go into the kitchen? That's a woman's job!"

"That's right, just wait for the food, how can the masters go into the kitchen." Huang's mother also drove Liang Junqiang out.

Hearing this, Huang Shumin's face flashed a little unnatural. If it was in the past, she would definitely think that this was okay, but during the time she lived in the Liang family, she saw several men in the family busy in the kitchen.

"It's not easy to come back, you can accompany your father and brother to talk." In the end, Huang Shumin still smiled and said to Liang Junqiang, the latter frowned and did not insist.

The meal went quite harmoniously. After cleaning the kitchen, the family sat in the yard and chatted for a while. Huang Shumin was called into the room by her mother and the door was closed.

Seeing this, Huang Shumin's heart skipped a beat and she asked straight to the point, "Mom, do you have something to tell me?"

"Last time I asked you to come back because I had something to discuss with you. Who knew it would rain for so many days in a row and you would be delayed." Huang's mother smiled and pulled Huang Shumin to sit on the edge of the bed and patted her hands.

"Mom, don't beat around the bush. I asked you to come here to talk about your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Huang Shumin's smile froze on her face and her brows wrinkled. Why did her mother suddenly mention Qingqing? She was shocked, so she repeated in disbelief after a long pause: "My sister-in-law?"

A beautiful face as bright as a peach blossom suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Yes, the one called Liang Qingqing." Huang's mother noticed the change in Huang Shumin's face, but her tone did not change, but she lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that people outside would hear her.

"Didn't you tell mother last time that you don't like her? She's lazy and gluttonous, has a bad temper, and eats for free at home. But your mother-in-law and her husband are so confused that they love her like the apple of their eye and give her all the good things in the house. Mother thought that this is not a solution. How can they be partial to a young lady?"

Huang Shumin tucked the hair around her ears guiltily. She wanted to retort, but didn't know how to say it, because she did say it in front of her mother. But at that time, she had just entered the Liang family not long ago and didn't know Liang Qingqing yet. She was also unhappy because her mother-in-law blamed her and Junqiang for Liang Qingqing getting drunk in the cornfield, so she gossiped about it.

When she thought that Liang Qingqing was among the things she brought back today, she felt an inexplicable shame in her heart.

"Mother..." She was about to explain the matter, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huang's mother.

"So mother has come up with a good idea for you. Just marry her off so that she won't be a bother to you!" At this, Huang's mother's face turned red with excitement. Without waiting for Huang Shumin to reply, she continued, "When you got married, I also met that girl. Putting aside other things, her face and body were impeccable, first-class."

"It just so happens that your future sister-in-law has a distant relative who wants to find a marriage partner, and specifically asked for a beautiful girl who is good at giving birth, so I thought of Liang Qingqing."

"Mom!" Huang Shumin couldn't help but interrupt Huang's mother for the first time, and even showed impatience on her face, "What good relatives can they have? Besides, how can our family interfere in my sister-in-law's marriage? My mother-in-law even said to keep her for another one or two years." If you want to get married

, you have to say it well so that you can get closer and closer. If you don't say it well, if something goes wrong in the future, they will inevitably blame them as the middlemen! Huang Shumin lives well in the Liang family, so she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Besides, the conditions of the girl who said she would marry Huang Shaofeng are the same as those of the Huang family, not to mention the distant relatives!

Who would marry their daughter off at a lower price? What's more, Liang Qingqing is so pretty, smart and resourceful. She might even become a phoenix in the future. How could she be interested in the man her mother is talking about?

"Hey, Huang Shumin! What's the tone of your voice? Who am I worrying about? You are being treated as a donkey!" Huang's mother was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She stood up and pointed at Huang Shumin and cursed her. But she thought of something and suppressed her anger. She spoke in a gentle voice. "

How can mother harm you? It must be a good marriage that she would mention it to you. Otherwise, why would she care about other people's affairs?"

"A good marriage?" If it was a good marriage, why would she tell her sister-in-law? She would probably have introduced it to the aunts and uncles in the family.

As if she could see that Huang Shumin didn't believe her, Huang's mother was so angry that she almost cursed again. She gritted her teeth and said, "The man is a small leader in the county pork factory. He has a city household registration and a house allocated to his family. The betrothal gifts are all ready. If you marry him, good days are still to come!"

"It's a pity that your cousins ​​are not good-looking and people don't like them."

After saying that, seeing Huang Shumin gasp in surprise, Huang's mother was more confident and straightened her back. She continued, "If it weren't for her high standards, she would have been married long ago! How could it be your sister-in-law's turn?"

What she said was that her sister-in-law didn't beg to get married!

But the man's conditions were really good, and there was nothing wrong with him. But for a man like him, it would be easy to find a beautiful girl in the city, so why would he run to the countryside? Could there be another cat here?

Thinking of this, Huang Shumin asked.

Huang's mother was choked by her. For the first time, she felt that it was not a good thing for her daughter to be too smart. If it were someone else, they would be so happy just by hearing this condition that they would nod and agree without caring about anything else.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" After subconsciously retorting, Huang's mother coughed lightly and said, "He's 1.75 meters tall and has a handsome appearance. He has a younger brother at home, but his younger brother also has a job, so he doesn't need his older brother to support him. It's just that his health is a little bad and he has to take medicine all year round."

Hearing Huang's mother repeatedly emphasize that there was no problem, although Huang Shumin was a little suspicious that she was hiding something, but...

"This man is so outstanding, how could he fall in love with my sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Huang Shumin asked the point at once, Huang's mother's eyes flashed, "Don't worry about that. I brought people to your Daping Village to take a secret look before, and he fell in love with her!"

"Mom, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me? And why are you so active in this matter? You even brought people here to take a secret look!"

"This is an emergency. Didn't I forget to tell you? Your mother is not stupid. She said that if the job is done, she will give me fifty yuan!" Huang's mother raised her hand, showing five fingers, her face flushed, as if she could already imagine the scene of getting the money.
