Seeing that he didn't eat the steamed buns, Li Mingqing stuffed two steamed buns into his pocket and asked him to take them back before he left.
Eating only vegetables is not enough to fill you up, and this trip to Lao Yang's house is not easy.
The furniture is made of solid wood and is not at all light.
Zhang Tiezhu quickly refused, "I can't accept this. How can you take away food when you're eating at someone else's place?"
"It's not like you're the only one who has it. Hongbin and my brother also have it."
After saying that, he stuffed two steamed buns into each person's hand.
The steamed buns are not very big, and two are just enough to fill my stomach.
Zhang Tiezhu regretted not coming to help when the house was being built. The food was really good.
He took the two steamed buns and walked quickly home. Qin Chenglan saw him coming back and said, "I steamed some corn grits. I'll bring them over to you."
"No, I ate at Lao Li's. Here, these two steamed buns are for you."
Looking at the round steamed bun, she quickly took it and put it on the plate.
"I just ate it. Save it for when you come back in the evening."
"Try it," Zhang Tiezhu knew that she wanted to save it for herself.
After saying that, he reached out and broke it in half and handed it to her.
Such delicate and fragrant steamed buns are indeed much more delicious than corn grits that make your throat hurt.
Li Mingqing pulled Sun Jiaxue, who had been busy all afternoon, over to sit down and said, "Come and have dinner. You've worked so hard to prepare a table full of dishes."
"It's just cooking a meal, that's why you're working so hard."
"Yes, we've all worked hard. I'll go with you to look at furniture later, and let Dad pick a lucky day for us to move in."
Li Mingqing took Sun Jiaxue's hand and introduced the furniture that was brought back.
"This is our closet. The big one is for your clothes, and the small one is mine."
Hearing this, Sun Jiaxue looked at him in disbelief. Such a big wardrobe could be used as a bed.
There are also dressing tables, bedside tables, etc. After seeing these, she feels that she is more refined than the girls in the city.
This day, Zhao Hongbin went to Lijia Village to propose marriage and pick up people.
Zhao Hongbin, dressed neatly, asked excitedly, "Brother, how is it?"
"Handsome, very energetic."
"Let's go. Our family of three got up before dawn and has been waiting until now."
Li Mingqing said with a smile: "Your wife won't run away, so stay calm."
"Today is a big happy event for me, I can't stay calm."
He grinned like a fool.
"Be more restrained. If the Li family sees you, they'll think you're crazy."
Zhao Hongbin immediately stopped smiling and became exceptionally dignified and serious.
When matchmaker Xu came over and saw him like this, she thought something had happened.
"What's going on? Why are you so upset on such a happy occasion?"
Zhao Hongbin immediately lost his composure and had no idea what expression he should make.
Matchmaker Xu smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Just keep calm. It's not like you haven't met the Li family before."
She looked at the white wine and snacks in his hands and nodded with satisfaction.
The etiquette is quite thoughtful. Both families are honest people and well-matched. They will definitely live a good life after marriage.
When they arrived at Lijia Village, the Li family arranged someone to pick them up at the village entrance.
The Li family has two children, a daughter named Li Xiaolan and a son named Li Xiaoqiang.
Everyone in Lijia Village came to watch the fun, especially the children, who gathered around to ask for candy.
Zhao Hongbin took out the prepared hard candies and distributed them to the children.
Mr. and Mrs. Li are very satisfied with Zhao Hongbin. They can tell at first glance that he is an honest man.
They looked at Li Mingqing and said, "This young man is really handsome. I wonder if he is engaged."
"This kid is really upright. My little girl hasn't found anyone yet, and I think this guy is quite suitable."
"Right, Lijia Village is close to our village, so it's convenient for my daughter to go back to her parents' home."
Matchmaker Xu was immediately surrounded and asked about Li Mingqing's basic situation.
"Everyone has good eyes for him. He's a promising young man in our village. He works at the supply and marketing cooperative, but he's already married."
"No wonder he looked familiar to me. Turns out he works at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"What a pity, he's someone else's son-in-law."
"I don't know which girl is so lucky to marry such a promising man."
Everyone's words fell on Li Mingqing and Zhao Hongbin's ears without missing a word.
"Dude, you have so many romantic interests."
"Stop joking, why hasn't your wife come out yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaolan came out of the house, her face as red as a red apple.
Li Mingqing looked at Zhao Hongbin who was standing aside and pushed him.
Matchmaker Xu came out from the crowd to take charge of the situation.
Finally, it came to the matter of the betrothal gift. He didn't ask for three turns and a ring, but only asked for twenty yuan.
Both families are very satisfied.
The wedding date is scheduled for the sixth day of next month, which is still half a month away.
People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. On the way back, Li Mingqing saw that Zhao Hongbin was about to fly.
After Li Mingqing returned to the village, he was surrounded by people sent by the team leader and the village chief.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Hurry up and get ready. Come with us to the town for a meeting this afternoon."
"What? Why would I go? I don't have the credentials to attend. Didn't the learning exchange conference just end?"
The village chief's face was flushed as he said, "Didn't I tell you last time that the mayor had adopted your suggestion? Several towns are going to jointly count eligible families. This time I'm going as an investigator, and the county has already approved it."
Li Mingqing was a little confused. How did he sneak into the village cadres without anyone noticing?
He is just a study team leader who is slacking off.
"Uncle, it's not appropriate for me to go. You should go instead."
"Ming Qing, you have to go. The mayor personally named you. Anyway, it was you who came up with this idea."
