"No need to eat, we'll go back to the county town later."
Zhang Cuihua said, "Is it so urgent? You can at least stay in the village for one more night and leave tomorrow. My Daguo always talks about you, saying that you are capable. He admires you from the bottom of his heart and wants to--"
She was interrupted by Li Mingqing before she could finish her words.
"It's so hot, Auntie, you should go home early."
Wang Daguo had already guessed what his mother was going to say.
This morning, Zhang Cuihua told him to go to the Li family to find Li Mingqing. If she couldn't help him find a job, she could help him find a wife.
Li Mingqing must have met many girls during his travels.
Zhang Lihua was dragged away by Wang Daguo.
Wang Daguo has not thought about getting married in recent years, but he didn't have this idea in the past two years.
Who doesn’t want a wife, children and a warm bed?
What a pity, his mother is really difficult to get along with.
He had already envisioned the days after he got married.
Either his mother dominates his wife, or his wife dominates his mother.
In the end, he was the one who was in trouble.
Fortunately, the child born to Wang Daya and Li Goudan was raised in the Wang family. Li Goudan has never visited him for so many years, which shows that he did not take this son seriously.
He treated the child like his own son since he was young.
No need to worry about retirement.
The most important reason is that he is old and few girls are willing to marry him.
In the past two years, the women introduced to him by matchmakers were basically widows.
Regardless of whether he is willing or not, his mother will never agree.
Zhang Cuihua was being pulled by Wang Daguo but she didn't forget to look back.
"Ming Qing, please come to eat at noon."
Old man Li said, "Old lady, what's going on? Daguo Niang is so stingy that she actually let Mingqing have dinner at her house."
"I'm afraid there's something he wants our son to help with."
"It's a shame that Daguo is such a good young man, down-to-earth and hardworking, while Li Goudan is so unreliable and has married two wives."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing said, "I think she asked me to go to dinner because of Daguo's suggestion about a wife. She hinted at it before, but I refused."
"I think Daguo and Liu Zhenzhu are quite suitable," said Li Mingli.
Zhang Lihua glared at him and said, "Don't match them up randomly. If Zhang Cuihua hears, there will be trouble."
Li Mingfang agreed, "I think it's okay. Isn't Aunt Zheng planning to let Liu Zhenzhu find another one?"
"That's different. Daguo's wife would definitely disagree. She wants Daguo to marry a woman from the city so she can take advantage of it. Thinking about it carefully, the two of them are indeed a good match, but let's not match them up randomly."
Li Mingqing lowered his voice.
Otherwise, it would damage Liu Zhenzhu's reputation if anyone heard it.
"I saw Liu Zhenzhu and Wang Daguo walking together before, and they looked like a couple. I hinted at it, but Liu Zhenzhu didn't mean it."
Yang Daya's curiosity was burning, and she told everything she knew.
Mrs. Li warned, "Don't talk about it anymore. After all, it's someone else's family affair."
"Mom, I definitely won't tell you. I've heard a lot of gossip while working at the textile factory. It's not easy for any of my aunts or uncles. I used to think people who ate commercial grain had no worries, but after working at the factory, I realized that every family has its own problems."
Li Mingqing turned around and went home.
I just cut the watermelon and haven't taken a single bite yet.
Sun Jiaxue ate two pieces of watermelon and said, "Brother Mingqing, are you going back to the county town later?"
"Let's stay in the village for one night. At least we can eat the cicada monkeys that Xiaohong caught," Li Mingqing said truthfully.
Anyway, he and Sun Jiaxue don’t have to go to work today.
As for saying that I was leaving in the afternoon, it was just to put off Zhang Cuihua.
It’s noon.
The sun is scorching and the cicadas are chirping.
Xiaohong and Xiaozhe ran back with sweat on their foreheads.
Each of them held a bunch of grapes in his hand.
"It's so hot, I'm going to have heatstroke."
The two brothers sat down, picked up the watermelon on the table and started eating it.
I ate two pieces before I felt a little cooler.
Li Mingqing asked, "He went to the back mountain?"
"Yes, not only did we pick wild grapes, we also found three pheasant eggs. We built a fire under the shade of the tree and roasted the eggs. When we peeled them, we found they were rotten."
Xiaozhe complained.
"Don't go out at noon anymore. Wait until the sun sets in the afternoon. Look how hot you two are. Your clothes are all wet, like you took a bath."
"Dad, it's just hot from the road."
Xiao Hong said, "Let's go catch cicada monkeys in the afternoon."
"You're in the village during the summer vacation, so you have plenty of time."
Sun Jiaxue brought out the washed grapes and strawberries from the kitchen.
Although the wild grapes were small, they were picked by the two children from the back mountain under the scorching sun. Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue were very polite and tasted them.
Sour and astringent.
It's too sour and I can't eat it.
Xiaohong and Xiaozhe tacitly agreed not to eat wild grapes, but to eat strawberries instead.
I tasted it right after I picked it, and it almost made my teeth fall out from the sour taste.
Li Mingqing drank a sip of boiled water and said, "Are you two really not trying to mess with us on purpose?"
"Dad, is it delicious?"
"Don't you know whether it tastes good or not? It's so sour that it almost made my teeth fall out. Even if you give these wild grapes to the pigs behind the house, they won't eat them."
"It's not that exaggerated. If you eat a few more, it won't be sour anymore."
"Save it for you guys to eat."
Li Mingqing pushed the plate of wild grapes towards the two brothers.
Niu Niu covered her mouth and laughed.
She had tasted these sour grapes once yesterday.
It was given to her by Zhao Qiang and Zhao Jun from Zhao Hongbin's family.
Zhao Qiang and Zhao Jun are in the same grade as her. Although they are not in the same class, their classes are adjacent to each other.
Sometimes we will say hello when we meet.
In addition to the children of the Li family who have good academic performance, the brothers of the Zhao family are also good students.
