Qin Jianye was not full or thirsty, so he prepared to ask for some more food.
As soon as I opened my mouth, before any sound came out, I heard a gurgling sound.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Wei Xu's slightly red ears.
Qin Jianye was embarrassed for once and coughed lightly. "Well, Goudan, you're already in your twenties and there's no elder in your family to help you arrange a marriage. How about you just marry my daughter?"
"Dad?" Qin Siyue looked at Qin Jianye in disbelief.
Qin Jianye touched his nose guiltily and continued to sell: "My daughter Siyue is very pretty, the most beautiful girl in the whole village. My daughter Siyue is also well-educated, a junior high school student, and always ranks first in the exams!"
Qin Siyue covered her face with her hands, wondering what her father was doing. She was only a few years old, but he wanted to force her to marry his savior. How was this different from repaying kindness with enmity?
Wei Xu was also shocked, thinking that after not seeing Uncle Jianye for a few years, why did he become so crazy?
Look at his daughter, she's so dark and skinny, how can she be called pretty?
How thick is this filter?
Wei Xu had a heart attack, and after a long pause, he said, "Uncle, I'm not Goudan anymore. I have a real name, Wei Xu. And I'm eighteen!"
Qin Siyue looked at the young man in front of him through his fingers.
Eighteen years old, so young. A few years younger than when she traveled through time.
He was 1.75 meters tall, and standing there, he looked like a young poplar, though a little thin.
(PS: He will grow taller, at least 1.8 meters. It’s all because of the famine, people are starving and becoming shorter. And the heroine will give me a cheat code.)
But being thin is normal. After years of disasters, being able to survive is considered a blessing. There is no extra food to keep them fat and strong.
Looking again, the yellow-green military uniform was very different from the uniforms of later generations. However, it looked particularly capable on Wei Xu.
If you are not just meeting this kind of person, you might consider developing a relationship with him.
"Besides, Si...Si Yue is only as tall as my armpit. She's so young, how can she be my wife? It's not easy to be a soldier these days, uncle, please don't make me make a mistake!"
Qin Jianye was silent for a while, then looked up and said, "How about you two get engaged first? Wait until my daughter comes of age, and then get the marriage certificate?"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room became a little gloomy.
Wei Xu frowned, and although he didn't say anything, the coldness from his body was emitting desperately.
Qin Siyue saw with his own eyes that he pinched his fingertips into his palm.
After measuring the physiques of his father and Wei Xu, he quickly said, "Dad, let's forget it. Brother Wei was kind enough to save me, we can't repay kindness with hatred."
He spoke carefully, and saw Wei Xu's fist loosen slightly from the corner of his eye. He continued, "Besides, I'm just a little girl, how can I get married? What if someone reports me for trafficking people..."
Qin Jianye hadn't expected his daughter to be so aggressive, so he quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth. "What are you talking about? What if someone hears you? It's bullshit! I didn't ask Goudan for a betrothal gift!"
Qin Siyue felt very uncomfortable with Qin Jianye's rough big hands covering her. More importantly, her father had a bad smell on his body, which was similar to the farm manure that had been fermented for several years, and it made her almost breathless.
Qin Siyue struggled left and right, finally escaping from the hands that were clamping her. She took a few deep breaths and said, "Dad, what do you smell like?"
"What?" Qin Jianye raised his arm and sniffed, then shook his head: "No smell! Girl, is there something wrong with your nose?"
Qin Siyue curled her lips in a nonsensical way and looked at Wei Xu. The other person's mouth twitched, but he said nothing in the end.
Qin Jianye sat on the kang as if no one was around and reasoned with Qin Siyue: "My daughter, it's not that Dad is cruel, but the whole team knows that Goudan saved you.
If he doesn't take responsibility, your reputation will be ruined. How will you get married in the future?
"Then I won't get married!" Qin Siyue responded subconsciously.
"Nonsense! How can a girl stay at home all her life? Your mother and I want to live a quiet life for a few years!"
After Qin Jianye blew his beard and glared, he began to take a conciliatory approach: "Besides, with our family's conditions, how can we afford to support you?
Didn’t you see how fair and cute you were before? Now you’re as skinny as a skeleton.
If you follow Goudan, at least you can survive. Even if your mother and I die, we can rest in peace."
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. In his excitement, he even slapped his thigh, perfectly portraying his desperate state.
"Dad, don't say that. Our family supports each other and we will definitely get through this. You and my mom will definitely live a long life!"
Qin Jianye's performance was so contagious that it not only frightened Qin Siyue, but even Wei Xu didn't realize he was pretending.
His face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil and struggle.
It's true that he hasn't married yet and doesn't have a lover, but Qin Siyue is too young. When he is with her, he feels like an animal.
Moreover, he was not at fault in this matter. If he compromised, it would be unfair and would only create obstacles for the other brothers.
At that time, if someone does something bad and slanders the soldier for ruining the girl's innocence, will they give in or retire?
Therefore, Wei Xu did not want to set this precedent!
But seeing Uncle Jianye crying, I really couldn't bear it.
But he quickly realized: "Uncle, don't you have a job?"
Life shouldn't be this hard if I have a job in the city!
Qin Jianye was not at all flustered by the questioning, but cried even more miserably: "I used to have one, as a temporary worker, relying on the little monthly supply and the help from my family to barely support Siyue and her mother.
But you also know that this year was bad and there was a food shortage throughout the country. Especially this year, even the old grain was gone.
Factories were shut down, grain stations were empty, and the city couldn’t even pay regular workers, let alone temporary workers like us who got in through connections.
