The two sat by the window, listening intently to the sounds outside.
After a moment of thought, Aunt Zhou said, "Ye Zhiqing, please speak frankly."
Ye Qingsong nodded and said politely, "Please go ahead."
Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Auntie, look, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to settle down. Most people your age already have kids old enough to run errands!"
Ye Qingsong: ...
Are you being polite?
What do you mean I'm not young anymore?
Do I look that old?
He coughed and, before Aunt Zhou could speak, said, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. My family isn't pressuring me either; they just told me to study hard in the team and not to overthink things."
The implication is that I don't plan to get married, and my family doesn't plan for me to get married either.
Aunt Zhou choked up for a moment.
She said disappointedly, "Oh, is that so!"
Just as she was about to try to persuade him again, she saw that Ye Zhiqing in front of her had a firm look in his eyes and a face full of resistance.
After thinking for a while, she tentatively asked, "Ye Zhiqing, you don't have some kind of hidden trouble, do you?"
Otherwise, how could a man of such an advanced age be so detached from worldly desires?
Ye Qingsong: ? !!! !
He quickly shook his head, saying with a wry smile, "There's no particular reason, it's just that I don't have any plans to get married right now."
Inside the house, Song Chi, who understood Aunt Zhou's implied meaning, tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Jiang Fan nudged him with his elbow, looking completely bewildered.
Song Chi ruffled his hair vigorously and said, "You'll understand when you grow up."
Jiang Fan felt that Song Chi was just giving him the runaround.
His grandmother used to treat him like this when he was a child.
He rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Stop being so mysterious."
Song Chi smiled and didn't explain further. He opened the window a crack, just enough to see Ye Qingsong's face.
A speechless expression on his face.
Aunt Zhou sighed. Since the young man didn't want to get married, she couldn't force him.
She then asked, "Is Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, here? I want to talk to him."
Jiang Fan, whose name was called out, shook his head vigorously.
Not here!
I'm not here!
Ye Qingsong paused for a moment, then said, "He seems to have gone out. Where did he go? I don't know."
Aunt Zhou was suspicious.
Looking towards the house of the male educated youth.
Song Chi pressed Jiang Fan's head down and nodded to Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou nodded as well.
Xiao Song, a former educated youth, was quite good-looking, fair-skinned, and educated, but his family background was not good.
If something happens, it could easily implicate her granddaughter.
She stood up and said to Ye Zhiqing, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Come over to my house to chat another day when you have time."
Ye Qingsong said "okay".
They saw Aunt Zhou off.
Lock the door from the inside.
Turning around, I saw Jiang Fan looking shocked.
He pointed to himself and said, "You've taken a liking to me?"
Ye Qingsong nodded.
Jiang Fan was still incredulous. He scratched his head and said, "I feel like I'm still young."
Ye Qingsong patted him on the shoulder and said, "People in the brigade get married early; there are plenty of people who get married at sixteen or seventeen."
He took a closer look at Jiang Fan.
Perhaps because his family was well-off, he received support from his family after he went to the countryside.
They've never experienced hardship.
It also has a student-like quality.
It does look a bit immature.
Song Chi, who was the same age as him, looked even smaller standing next to him.
Jiang Fan still found it unbelievable.
He never expected anyone to introduce him to a potential partner.
Marriage and children seem so far away for him.
Zhao Chunyu sighed and said, "I'm just a poor wretch. I really don't have much money. Nobody believes me when I say that. They all think I'm very rich."
Chen Ergou was still trying to curry favor with her.
He seemed to think she was unaware that he was fawning over Qing'er.
They're casting a wide net!
What were they, the female educated youth?
He's acting like a local tyrant, holding a concubine selection!
It's disgusting to even think about.
Fang Yuyan was extremely annoyed. Her family was well-off, and she didn't hide it, often going to the county town to buy food.
No one used to care about finding her a boyfriend.
Is it because she's become too good-tempered these days?
Every man thinks he can control her.
It looks like a big fight is about to break out.
Suddenly, her clothes were tugged. She turned around and saw Zhao Qing'er standing anxiously beside her.
She frowned.
Zhao Qing'er said, "...Go to the team leader's house."
Fang Yuyan said "Oh," and asked, "Who's going?"
“I’ll go!” Zhao Chunyu stepped forward.
Try it first!
If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else!
If all else fails, we'll just knock them out!
So, Fang Yuyan walked ahead with her head held high.
Following behind were Ye Qingsong, Zhao Chunyu, Zhao Qing'er, and Jiang Fan.
The group of people walked out with the feeling of an army.
Qin Baoguo was sitting in the courtyard smoking when he saw five educated youths standing at the door, their faces expressionless.
His heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's wrong? Did you get into another fight?"
"Are we those kinds of people?" Fang Yuyan was the first to walk in, pulled up a stool, and sat down opposite the captain.
The others stood behind Fang Yuyan.
Qin Baoguo extinguished his cigarette and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Fang Yuyan complained, "Captain, don't you know the whole team is watching us..."
She rattled off a string of words.
Qin Baoguo was genuinely surprised. He instinctively doubted it and asked with a suspicious look, "Really?"
Ye Qingsong then recounted the names of all the people who had introduced him to potential partners.
He has a very good memory and often helps others fill in the gaps.
Qin Baoguo took a deep breath. He was truly terrified of poverty; he would do anything for money.
