"The second kid from the Li family in the next brigade is pretty good. He's 19, almost 20, and I heard he's very capable. He always gets full work points, and you can tell he's got a very strong physique."
When A Cui's aunt heard this, she immediately asked about the situation of the second son of the Li family.
Although most people in their brigade favor boys over girls, they also want their daughters to marry into a good family and find a good husband's family so that they don't waste their lives every day.
Yes, there are always a few people who think differently. To them, marrying off their daughter is like selling her. As long as the money is in place, it doesn’t matter what family the daughter comes from.
There are several old women in their team, and that's how it is.
Song Tanglan had heard of all this.
"Sister Chen, is your little daughter engaged?"
"It was decided some time ago. When the time comes, I'll invite you all to the wedding banquet." Aunt Chen replied happily when she heard them mention her little girl.
"Which one is it?"
"He's the second son of the doctor at the Qinghe Brigade Health Center."
"His family, your daughter will enjoy a good life in the future. He has only one son, and I heard that his son knows some medical skills. Who knows, maybe his son will inherit the business in the future!"
"Yes, yes, it seems Qing girl will be blessed in the future."
Song Tanglan listened silently to the aunts gossiping. When she heard them mention Aunt Chen's little girl, she remembered the little girl who was the same age as her. She was a very gentle and shy girl with delicate features.
He is also very capable and often helps with housework.
But when she heard them mention the Qinghe Brigade Health Center, she remembered the look the old man gave them. She didn't expect that the world was so small.
"Xiao Song, educated youth, do you have a partner?"
When Song Tanglan heard their questions, he felt a little embarrassed. He was actually still eating the melon and didn't expect to eat himself.
"Yes, young educated youth, has your family found a suitable partner for you?"
Faced with such enthusiastic aunts, Song Tanglan could only shake her head awkwardly: "No, I'm still young."
"You're not young anymore. You're already 18 this year. I already had children at your age. Look at Aunt Chen's little girl, she's the same age as you and she's already settled. You should ask your second sister to find a suitable one for you."
"That's right, young educated youth, I'm telling you, when you're looking for a partner, don't just look for someone with a pretty face. Look for someone who's capable and can support the family, so you don't have to work so hard to make money."
"That's right, young educated youth, you are so beautiful, you must keep your eyes open."
Song Tanglan was very troubled by the constant chatter from the aunts. How could this bring up the issue of finding a partner for her? She was not even an adult yet!
Even if she died without a partner in her previous life, she shouldn't be so anxious in this life!!
Aunt Chen saw the little girl was stunned by the question, so she interrupted helplessly, "Okay, okay, the young educated youth is still young, his family will worry about him, you might as well worry about the young men in your family and save money to find a partner for them."
"Sister Chen, it's easy for you to say that. Every time I ask my boy to go see a girl, he always refuses to do so. He's already in his twenties and doesn't know how to find a girl to live with."
"Exactly. My brat is the same. He insists that he hasn't saved enough money and doesn't dare to propose marriage."
"My daughter has dated several men but hasn't found anyone she likes. By the way, Miss Chen, has your daughter-in-law's brother found a partner yet? He has such good conditions, how come he's almost 20 and still hasn't found a partner?"
Song Tanglan originally heard them change the topic, so she moved aside, fearing that they would drag her out to get married again.
But I didn't expect to hear a familiar person, and immediately put my ears close to listen to the gossip.
"Are you talking about Xiao Xu? His mother is worried too, but there's been no movement around him, so he's still single!"
"Didn't they say that the little girl who's coming home soon has a crush on Xiao Xu?"
"What you said is true. If she likes Xiao Xu, it has to be Xiao Xu who likes her. Which girl here doesn't like Xiao Xu? She is capable, has a stable job, and has a simple family relationship. She only has a younger brother and an old mother. If she marries him, she will be the head of the family. Who wouldn't be eyeing this sweet cake? If I were 20 years younger, I might like Xiao Xu too!"
"That's true, but you're such a shameless old woman! You already have several children, and you're still 20 years younger than me!"
"I wasn't just talking, I was just giving you an analogy, why did you take it so seriously?"
Aunt Chen heard that they were about to start arguing again and interrupted them helplessly.
Song Tanglan didn't expect to hear gossip about Xu Qi again at her aunt's place. She didn't expect that Brother Xu was so popular among her aunts.
The aunts are right. She is good in every way, but she is too nagging. Her nagging is no less than that of the aunts.
Just as she was daydreaming, several educated youth came over from a distance.
When I turned around, I saw Su Tao, Zheng Hongying and others. Several female educated youth were happily walking to their side.
"Lanlan, did you finish shopping so quickly? We just came back from the post office. You don't know how long the line was there. We stood there for more than half an hour before ours arrived."
After saying that, he slapped his head in annoyance.
"Yes, I came back after shopping. I went to the post office first. There were not many people there at that time."
"I would have gone to the post office earlier. I just wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early so I could grab some good stuff. I didn't expect there would be so many people there. I spent quite a bit of time there! Oh, Lanlan, Sun Zhiqing and the others went to the scrap yard and found a lot of newspapers. We plan to take them back to use as wall paper."
