The next morning, Chen Jianguo and Su Xia each had a child on their chests, at the school where Daya now works.
The couple stood like guardian deities at the school gate, gazing at the wooden door before them.
Su Xia pouted. It really happened to be Xiaoxue's school, the same place where Dabao and Erbao go.
The county town now has two primary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and a vocational school, which was just built last year.
The car that Chen Jianguo mentioned before has started operating, and a movie theater has been added. It will occasionally be shown in rural areas. When Chen's parents came to visit before, they mentioned this.
Just as Su Xia was marveling at the development of the county town, a surprised voice rang out.
"Teacher Chen...and who are these two...?" Sister Li came early today, and even brought her sister-in-law along, thinking she could take a look at the women before going to work in the morning, just in case they were fertile.
Sister Li disapproved of her sister-in-law's superstitious ways, but there was nothing she could do, since she was just a middleman.
Daya discovered that it was Sister Li, who was usually very kind to her, but after carefully considering it yesterday, she felt that this person was truly kind to her.
Sister Li was taken aback. Why did Teacher Chen seem a bit serious today, not as friendly as usual?
"Hello, Teacher Li!" The formulaic greeting made her tremble even more.
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo exchanged a glance, and the couple immediately guessed that it was the man in front of them, the one they wanted to introduce to Daya.
The atmosphere grew tense. Everyone involved noticed the problem, but Sister Li and her sister-in-law seemed oblivious, staring intently at Daya.
Daya felt a chill run down her spine, because in her eyes, the old woman's gaze was like that of someone picking and choosing pork at a grocery store.
Su Xia: "Xiao Chun, is this your business?" It's best not to call someone by their nickname in front of outsiders.
Daya nodded. "Uncle, Aunt, this is Teacher Li!"
Then she looked at Sister Li, thought for a moment, and said directly, "Teacher Li, these are your uncle and aunt. They heard you were going to introduce you to a man, so they came to take a look!"
Sister Li was taken aback. Why didn't Chen Chun call out "Sister Li!"
But before she could figure it out, her sister-in-law, who was standing next to her, started introducing herself without waiting for her to do so.
"You must be Chen Chun, right? You're Teacher Li's sister-in-law, and Li Wei's mother!" The tone was quite proud.
Da Ya... took a step back. This person was too enthusiastic. She was a bit socially awkward, so Su Xia immediately stood in front of Da Ya.
The little girl in her arms spit out a mouthful of saliva at Sister Li.
This scene was truly a bit comical. Not to mention Su Xia, Chen Jianguo, and Da Ya, even Teacher Li was stunned for a moment.
He immediately went over to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Don't scare Teacher Chen!"
Sister-in-law Li stumbled as her sister-in-law pulled her, and then, with saliva on her face, she looked at her blankly.
Su Xia felt embarrassed and immediately took out some toilet paper from the book and handed it over.
"Teacher Li, I'm so sorry, here's some tissue, hurry up and wipe yourself!"
"oh oh...."
"Sister-in-law, wipe it off first!"
After wiping it clean, Sister-in-law Li realized what had happened, but when she looked at the little girl's face, she started babbling, "Eeya eeya..."
What else can be done about a nursing baby? This time, attention also turned to Su Xia, Chen Jianguo, and the two children in her arms.
"Are you two Teacher Chen's uncle and aunt?"
Chen Jianguo looked at Su Xia, "Yes, Xiaochun's parents asked us to come and take a look!"
Sister-in-law Li nodded, but at this moment, everyone in the neighborhood was already shocked. Her uncle and aunt, especially Su Xia, were fair-skinned and their clothes were without patches. They were all washed until they were faded, just like her.
It's obvious that the family is lacking these things, and there are two children with chubby little arms. She's never seen such chubby children before.
At this moment, Sister Li also realized that she had originally thought that Teacher Chen was from a village and that his parents were farmers.
Although he had graduated from high school and become a teacher, he still tried to change the habits of the villagers.
That's when she thought about taking money from her older brother's family. All her wages went to her brother's family, not to mention they also had a house in the county town.
But now, seeing the knowing looks in the eyes of other people's uncles and aunts, she felt a surge of emotion.
I wanted to take my sister-in-law back with me, but she was clearly intoxicated.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and get to the point! If it's true, we'll go see Li Wei this afternoon!"
Li Da Sao was completely oblivious to the thoughtful expressions of the others, instead immersing herself in her own joy.
Sister Li...
Daya stayed hidden behind Su Xia because she noticed that the future mother-in-law introduced by Sister Li across the street looked a lot like Xia Laidi in her speech, expression and movements. She was her mother.
She hated it the most in the village, so she hid behind Su Xia and tugged at Su Xia's clothes.
Su Xia felt Daya trembling and touched her hand to comfort her.
Seeing that her sister-in-law had already started talking, Sister Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, it's like this, my nephew's name is Li Wei. He works in a furniture factory and is a permanent employee. He lives in an apartment building and is about the same age as Teacher Chen..."
"Bye, Li Wei is my son. I mean, he's handsome and tall, and he'd be a perfect match for your daughter..."
Sister Li was stunned; it was the first time she had ever heard her sister-in-law speak in such a refined and literary manner.
"Nee-ji, your sister-in-law definitely didn't lie to you, your nephew is a person of impeccable character and appearance!"
"But if Chen Zhi marries into our family, she only needs to go to work. She'll take care of everything at home, even if the young couple has children!"
"My nephew's family both work, so they might end up with four children in the future..."
"Yes, I have two sons and a daughter, all of whom are in school now and will be factory workers in the future!" He said with great pride.
......
Su Xia's lips twitched. She hadn't said a word, but these two were talking about ancestors and even saying that Da Ya's child had grown up...
"Gentlemen, don't speak too soon. The parties involved haven't even met. Aren't you saying it's too early?"
Su Xia broke off the relationship between the two, then broke it off again, and said it was noon.
Sister Li and Sister-in-law Li looked at each other, and Sister-in-law Li's face immediately fell.
Man said to Su Xia, "You're Teacher Chen's aunt, right? Her parents haven't said anything, so why are you objecting?"
Su Xia pouted, "Hey, my Xiaochun, she finally graduated from high school, and now she's a teacher. She has a good job, she's good-looking, and she'll definitely be able to find a boyfriend easily in the future!"
What does that mean—that their family is just any ordinary family?
The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, exchanged a glance, their suspicions growing. Then, Sister Li asked in surprise.
"You mean...anywhere at our house...?" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Su Xia rolled her eyes. "That's not what I said!"
Da Ya behind him suppressed a laugh, while Chen Jianguo gave Su Xialu a doting smile.
Sisters-in-law...
"Yes, my family has such good conditions, and I haven't looked down on you because you're from the village!" Sister-in-law Li couldn't hold back her anger.
Sister Li didn't stop her; she felt that it would be best for Chen Chun to marry her nephew.
"What do I care?" Su Xia said. "So what if they're from the village? Can you guarantee your ancestors were from the village?"
Sister-in-law Li...
Her family and her husband's family are both from the village, but what can she do about it!
"You too, your parents are from the village, and the men in your family are workers, and there will be even more workers in your family in the future!"
After saying that, he glanced at Daya, who was looking down, and now he just disliked her.
"Besides, she also has a younger brother who's still in school, I heard. Let me tell you, if she really marries your son, she'll have to hand over her entire salary. You can imagine having a daughter-in-law who's constantly sending money to her parents' home!"
......
Su Xia wasn't angry; instead, she was pleased that people could show their true colors so quickly.
