The two old people have experienced so many things, and talking about the past makes people feel very emotional.
Everyone chatted about the past and recent events, and of course Ye Zhiqiu was also caught up in the conversation to talk about his future.
In desperation, he could only reveal some of what happened today.
"Don't worry about my partner! Today, Banghua and his brother are discussing marriage, and they also asked me to meet his cousin!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaolan immediately asked excitedly, "Son, how do you two see each other? Is that girl to your liking?"
Even Liu Cuihua said with a gossipy look on her face, "Zhiqiu, please tell me quickly! Don't keep me in suspense, you're driving me crazy!"
Not to mention the two of them, even Ye Bailu looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked curiously: "Brother, are you going to marry me a sister-in-law?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a puzzled look, "What the hell? So Big Brother is looking for a partner just for you..."
It's hard to say about this girl. I think she's quite interesting, but I'm not sure if she's interested in me. And you might not get along with her easily, as she has some flaws."
"Defect? What's going on? Tell me the details quickly."
Ye Zhiqiu picked up the wine and invited her to drink a glass. After finishing the drink, he poured her some wine while explaining, "When she was a child, her parents sent her back to her hometown due to work. As a result, her grandmother favored boys over girls and treated her very badly!
Anyway, it made her afraid to talk to strangers! She had a stern face and didn't say anything all day long. She looked cold, but in fact, she was very nervous and didn't dare to talk to anyone.
"Oh my! How can there be such a person who treats his own granddaughter like this!"
"That's right, favoring boys over girls is unacceptable!"
Anyway, the whole family started to fight, and no one cared about Feng Xiaomei's character flaws as described by Ye Zhiqiu.
This made him ask, "This girl is afraid of strangers and doesn't dare to talk to anyone! Why don't you think it's a bad idea?"
Ye Tianya nodded and said, "This character flaw is indeed a bit problematic, but as long as you think it's okay, that's fine!"
Wang Fugui also smiled and said, "Grandson, you can't think like that, because it's you and her who are living together, and other people's opinions are actually not important!"
Wang Xiaolan agreed and said, "Godfather is right! I was just bullied and a little quiet, that's all. It's not a big flaw!"
The key is that we are not familiar with each other! Once we are familiar with each other, we will definitely not stop talking. As long as you like the girl, then I will like this daughter-in-law!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a helpless smile: "Okay! Mom, please stop talking. If you keep talking, we'll have to talk about marriage! We've only just met, and even if I like her, I have to be willing to let her not dislike me!"
Everyone was giving him advice, but Qian Dafu said firmly, "Zhiqiu, you have to solve one problem first. Get past her parents first!
"For a girl like this who's shy and quiet, once you've dealt with her parents, you'll naturally be able to get along with her. After a while, she won't be afraid of you anymore, and you can be a normal couple, right?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's right. Son, do you know where her parents work?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Mother, do you still want to personally go and talk to them in person?"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "How can we just meet and talk suddenly? I just want to get some information first. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!"
"Don't worry about it, thank you! The girl's father is a scientific researcher and is not in Beijing right now. Her mother is quite impressive, she's the director of the women's department at Shougang!
That aura is so strong, I’m afraid you won’t be able to speak clearly when you meet people...”
Although Wang Xiaolan was a little surprised to hear that it was a cadre, she really didn't say that she was nervous or anything.
Ye Zhiqiu thought he understood this cheap old lady and felt that she was a social terrorist who would strike up a conversation with anyone wherever she went.
But I never thought that Wang Xiaolan was born so brave!
If she wasn't brave enough, she wouldn't have gotten to know all the ladies in the Sanlitun Subdistrict Office in just two months!
So Ye Zhiqiu really underestimated Wang Xiaolan!
At this moment, she was searching in her head to find out which relatives they mentioned could be connected to the people from Shougang!
It was just that Ye Zhiqiu didn't know, otherwise he would have to beg for mercy. He really just met the girl once, and it still depends on whether he can ask the girl out later!
How can you use such a big move before the event even starts and ask parents to go meet their parents?
After a lively meal, everyone went outside to the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Ye Zhiqiu washed the pears, cut them into pieces, and cut the mooncakes. Unfortunately, everyone had just finished their meal and no one wanted to eat them.
After lighting a few loose cigarettes for the smokers, Ye Zhiqiu pondered his next steps. Today was the 27th, Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still three days until National Day.
It is impossible to go to the factory to work. I have to go out and have fun these days. Otherwise, if I stay at home and sleep all day, I can't conjure up supplies out of thin air!
By the way, we have to get some sweet potatoes back tomorrow. The factory hasn’t paid Wang Xiaolan and her husband yet for the vermicelli we just sold!
He immediately took out his notebook, looked at it, and said to the few people who had finished cleaning and were sitting aside chatting about gossip, "Mom, Aunt Liu, this vermicelli Zuo Tian weighed a total of 51 kilograms, and sold it for 35.70 yuan.
I'll keep 12.70 yuan to buy sweet potatoes, and you can each take 10 yuan from the rest. The remaining 3 yuan will be given as a reward to the old man and the second son who helped with the mill. Do you have any objections to this distribution?"
"No problem, I feel hot holding these ten yuan, how about you give me less?"
"Hey! Is there anyone who thinks money is too much? Auntie, you are so funny!"
The money was divided among the people. As for the three dollars, two were given to Ye Tianya, who was smiling from ear to ear, and one was given to Ye Wubing, who was so excited that his eyebrows were curved.
Look how happy these two are, what a loser...
But Wang Xiaolan and Liu Cuihua were the same, as if they had never seen money before.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu knew the reason why they were happy. It was nothing more than that they could earn a salary after a busy month, so they were so excited.
After dividing the money, Ye Zhiqiu asked Wang Fugui, "Grandpa, do you know when Secretary Wang will be back? Why did you take so long to study?"
Wang Fugui nodded and replied, "It should be in the next two days. This is the rule. For someone like Wang Weihua who has been promoted to deputy division-level cadres, he must study for a month."
Speaking of it, the administrative level of the commune secretary is section chief. Wang Weihua, the commune secretary, is really lucky. Because of the establishment of the street office, he was promoted to deputy director of the street office at the deputy division level.
So Ye Zhiqiu is looking forward to him coming back from his studies so that he can arrange for his mother Wang Xiaolan to work in the street office!
