Qi Zhijun knew what Zheng Meili was most concerned about. Zheng Yingying was there too, so he told her about the situation of the Le family.
Le Kangtai's father is the team leader of the village, her mother is the women's director of the village, and the children in the family all graduated from high school. The eldest sister of the Le family married to the next village, the second sister married an educated youth in the village, and the younger sister is still in high school.
Although the Le family favors sons, they do not neglect daughters. Several of the Le family's children go to school, and if the environment does not allow it, they may even go to college.
Le Kangtai is indeed the "baby" of the family, not only because he is a boy, but also because he was born prematurely and is in poor health, so he was named Kangtai.
After graduating from high school, Le Kangtai worked as a teacher in the village primary school. Later, the village had a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and the Le family fought for it and gave it to him.
After graduating from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, Le Kangtai went to be a teacher at Zheng Yingying's school because a female classmate in college fell in love with Le Kangtai and wanted to marry him. However, the Le family only had this son, so how could Le Kangtai agree? He directly refused.
That girl's family had some connections, which prevented Le Kangtai from going to a good place, so Le Kangtai simply applied to come to a school here.
After hearing what Qi Zhijun said, Zheng Meili frowned and asked, "Will that female classmate come to bother Le Kangtai again in the future?"
They only have this one daughter in their family, and Zheng Meili doesn't want Zheng Yingying to compete with others for a man.
"No." Qi Zhijun nodded confidently, "That female classmate has already gotten married under the arrangement of her family."
At the beginning, the female classmate took a fancy to Le Kangtai not only because of his looks, but also because of his family background. He was from the countryside and had no background. The female classmate thought that Le Kangtai would not refuse, and she was also angry because she didn't let Le Kangtai go to a good place.
Now the two of them are separated, and the girl's family has found a suitable candidate, so they got married naturally.
Speaking of which, Qi Zhijun was still satisfied with Le Kangtai's backbone. Le Kangtai knew the family background of that female classmate, but he was still willing to refuse. Just based on this kind of character, it is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.
Zheng Meili was not satisfied: "Then he can only be a teacher in the future."
Teachers nowadays are not that popular. Only in Zheng Yingying's school are there fewer problems. But teachers in other schools have a hard time.
Zheng Meili's words clearly showed that she didn't like Le Kangtai. Before Qi Zhijun could say anything, Zheng Yingying stood up first and said, "Mom, what's wrong with being a teacher? I'm still a teacher."
Le Kangtai has healthy parents and someone to help him at home. On the other hand, Zheng Yingying is an orphan whose parents have both passed away. However, Zheng Yingying did not dare to say this for fear that Zheng Meili would be angry.
Zheng Meili was indeed angry. She looked up at Zheng Yingying and said, "Why are you yelling at me? What did I say? Isn't this all for your own good?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qi Zhijun immediately said, "Yingying, sit down. We are eating. Why are you standing up?"
Although Zheng Yingying was unhappy, she still gave Qi Zhijun face and sat down.
Qi Zhijun looked at Zheng Meili again: "Meili, you have to listen to Yingying's opinion on Yingying's matter."
Zheng Meili opened her mouth to speak, but Qi Zhijun said again: "It's time to eat now. Let's discuss this after we finish eating."
Qi Zhijun had worked a day, and Zheng Meili couldn't let him go without eating, so she just watched the two of them quarreling, so she swallowed what was in her heart and silently picked up the bowl to eat.
Zheng Yingying didn't say anything else and started eating obediently.
But both of them were in a bad mood, and they finished the rice in the bowl with gritting their teeth.
After Zheng Yingying finished her meal, she wanted to have a good talk with Zheng Meili, but Zheng Meili collected the dishes and went straight to the kitchen. Zheng Yingying chased her to the kitchen, and saw Zheng Meili washing the dishes so loudly that she almost threw them on the ground with such force.
Zheng Yingying was very angry and turned around and left the kitchen.
Seeing her come out so quickly, Qi Zhijun listened to the noise in the kitchen and sighed, "Go back and rest first. I'll ask your mother later."
Zheng Yingying felt aggrieved when she heard this. What's wrong with her just wanting to find someone she can confide in? Teacher Le was so good to her, so why didn't her mother agree?
She really couldn't figure it out, but fortunately Qi Zhijun was willing to help.
Zheng Yingying looked at Qi Zhijun with gratitude: "Dad, I'll wait for your good news."
Qi Zhijun looked at her with amusement and shook his head, then went to the cupboard and got her a few pieces of peach cakes.
"I didn't eat well just now, so I'm sure I'll be hungry tonight. Take these peach cakes to the house and eat them, and then make yourself a cup of malted milk."
Zheng Yingying had no appetite to eat now, but she still took the peach cake from Qi Zhijun and went back to her room.
After cleaning the kitchen, Zheng Meili lingered for a while before coming out.
She was relieved when she saw that Zheng Yingying was not outside. She was just not satisfied with Le Kangtai and didn't want to hear Zheng Yingying say good things about the Le family.
Qi Zhijun asked her with some amusement: "Last time when Kangtai came, you didn't say you didn't like him? Why are you so opposed to it now?"
Zheng Meili thought for a moment and told the truth: "At that time, I only knew that he was a college student, but I didn't expect that his family had such a heavy burden. I was just worried that Yingying would not get along well with her rural in-laws."
Qi Zhijun, however, felt that the old couple of the Le family must be reasonable people since they could raise a son like Le Kangtai.
Zheng Meili was still worried that Zheng Yingying would be wronged, so she wanted to find a local working-class family for Zheng Yingying so that they could help the young couple in the future.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Meili still disliked the Le family because they were from the countryside.
"I've inquired about it. The Le family has a good reputation in the local area, and Le Kangtai's father is also an upright man in the village." Qi Zhijun really thought that this marriage was a good one.
Zheng Meili muttered, "If he was upright, how could he let Le Kangtai go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Seeing Zheng Meili being so stubborn, Qi Zhijun was a little angry, but he still tried his best to tell her what he knew.
"The fact that Le Kangtai was able to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University had little to do with his father being a captain, because he saved two children in the school when it was raining and the school building was about to collapse."
It was also because of this that the villagers unanimously agreed to let Le Kangtai go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Zheng Meili was shocked. She didn't expect this to happen.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Qi Zhijun asked back: "Would you agree if I told you?"
Zheng Meili didn't know either. She went straight to the bed and lay down with her back to Qi Zhijun. A voice came from under the quilt: "I'll think about it again."
What Qi Zhijun didn't say just now was that Le Kangtai's arm was broken on the spot, and the village doctor said it might not be cured. It was based on this that Le's father convinced the villagers to choose Le Kangtai to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Of course, Le Kangtai's arm was healed later, otherwise Qi Zhijun would not have agreed to their marriage.
