The family was chatting lively.
Suddenly, someone outside called out, "Grandma, we have guests."
Qian Shulan was a little surprised. Who else could come? She turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Shengnan.
She was riding a bicycle and was sweating profusely.
Qian Shulan hurried out and asked her to park the bicycle in the yard, and also reminded the children not to touch the bicycles.
Then he pulled Jiang Shengnan aside and asked, "Why did you come alone?"
Jiang Shengnan carried the items unloaded from the car and waved her hands, "I am a police officer, who would want to kill me?"
Qian Shulan's mouth twitched. Is the identity of a police officer so useful
Jiang Shengnan took out what she had brought, which was two meters of cloth.
She smiled and explained, "I couldn't think of anything else. My mother said cloth coupons were hard to come by in the countryside, so she let me take this."
Qian Shulan was a little surprised, "You come to our house to play, and you even bring cloth coupons? That's too polite."
Jiang Shengnan was a little embarrassed. "I want to buy some eggs to take back. Can I?"
So that's how it is! Qian Shulan agreed readily, "Okay!" Then he took her to the main room.
As soon as she entered, Jiang Shengnan was so scared that she almost retreated. The main room was packed with people.
Qian Shulan introduced them to her, "These are my sons. They work in the county town. They just came back from a three-day vacation. We got together to chat."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Shengnan felt very embarrassed. She had finally had some time to chat with her family, but it was ruined by her.
Seeing her face blushing with embarrassment, Qian Shulan hurriedly said with a smile, "It's okay, they will stay at home for three days."
Just then, Sun Daqin and Zhou Xuemei came over with the dishes.
Qian Shulan pulled Jiang Shengnan to sit down and said, "You must be hungry after riding all the way. Come eat with us."
Sun Daqin then noticed that there was a young girl. Her eyes lit up and she looked at the girl. She was pretty and educated. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, yes, come eat with us."
Qian Shulan glanced at her and felt that she was a little too enthusiastic today. But she didn't say anything and invited Jiang Shengnan to eat.
Jungkook and Seo Lizhen also came to eat together.
Wang Shouren said to Qian Shulan, "Mom, I'm going out to play."
Qian Shulan agreed without thinking, "Go ahead!"
The other sons also went. Wang Shouzhi was not familiar with the villagers, so he wanted to take Jiang Yuying for a walk.
Seeing that her mother still had to entertain guests, Jiang Yuying agreed.
Li Chunhua still had clothes to make, so she went back to the house.
Zhou Xuemei stood under the eaves and watched her two sons playing in the yard, and asked Xiaotao about her boyfriend.
Wang Danzhi and Du Damei went to the chicken farm to feed the chickens. Zhengkang and Liu Fangming went back to their room to rest. Zhengjun and Sun Daqin went back to the east room.
There were only three people eating in the main room, plus Qian Shulan and the little donkey.
Qian Shulan saw that Xiao Maolu was in a bad mood because he broke up with his girlfriend, so she came over to comfort him, "Since you two are not destined to be together, there is no need to force it. There will definitely be a good girl waiting for you in the future."
Everyone said so, which made the little donkey even sadder. He said gloomily, "Grandma, are conditions so important? We were getting along well before, but she backed off when her parents objected."
Qian Shulan sighed. People in this era were more particular about matching one's social status than later generations.
First of all, the political background must match! The five black categories and the five red categories cannot marry each other, even if both parties are very determined, because the brigade secretary will never give you a letter of introduction. If you insist, he will criticize you for having problems with your ideological awareness.
If a family member is classified as one of the "five black categories", the other family members must distance themselves from him or she will be punished and overthrown together. If a parent is in trouble, the children must sever ties with the parent. If a couple is in trouble, the spouses must divorce.
In this era, the five black categories can only marry the five black categories, and the five red categories can only marry the five red categories.
Secondly, it is the external conditions. The external conditions here are not just the man's appearance, height, etc. The most important thing is the ability to make money, whether he is a worker, how much income he has, etc.
In the case of Xiao Maolu, he comes from a single-parent family and is a worker. Logically speaking, his conditions are already quite good.
But the woman's family is much better off than hers. There are actually very few Phoenix men in this era. Because most people still hold the idea of favoring boys over girls.
Even if you divorce your wife, you have to give birth to a son when you remarry.
It is extremely rare for a family to have only one daughter.
The family that Little Donkey is dating has two sons and only one daughter.
Although her family was very kind to her daughter, they probably wanted her to consolidate their relationship with them, so they would not let her marry someone of lower status. Of course, these were just her conjectures.
Maybe he just wants his daughter to have a better life.
Qian Shulan told him that there was no room for lingering on this matter, "Stop thinking about her."
When the little donkey heard what his grandma said, although he felt very sad, he knew that it was useless to be sad.
It was impossible for him to meet the other party's requirements in a short period of time.
Qian Shulan patted the donkey's hand and said to Jiang Shengnan, "I'll go to the east room first. Call me after dinner."
Jiang Shengnan agreed immediately.
Zhengguo took the food and sat next to the donkey.
His bowl contained noodles topped with shredded potatoes, celery and chicken.
Zhengguo said while eating, "Do you want me to introduce you to someone? I tell you, the accountant in our machinery factory is pretty."
The little donkey looked up at him, and with his sharp eyes he immediately noticed that Xu Lizhen was a little unhappy.
He smiled like a little fox, pointed at Xu Lizhen's back, and said silently, "You are in trouble. Your wife is jealous."
Zhengguo followed the direction he pointed and turned around to see Xu Lizhen pouting and glaring at him.
Zhengguo thought back to what he had just said, and he knew the reason as soon as he thought about it, so he didn't bother to comfort the little donkey, and hurriedly sat back at the table with a lick on his face, picking up food for Xu Lizhen, "No one is as pretty as my wife."
Hearing this, Xu Lizhen could no longer pretend to be angry, and pouted her lips and said, "You are smart!"
Zhengguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained in his heart, it's obviously the man who suffers when the woman is pregnant, not the woman.
Because of her pregnancy, Xu Lizhen took too much supplements. Not only did her face become fatter, her legs also became thicker, and what's even more frightening is that she also got spots on her face.
Being three years older than Zhengguo, she has a low self-esteem. Zhengguo often has to coax her.
Jiang Shengnan watched the young couple from the side and was secretly amazed.
This young wife's face is so green, like a rotten vegetable leaf, how can she look good
What surprised her the most was this man. He was good-looking and tall, and was a worker in a machinery factory. How could he choose such an ugly wife
Jiang Shengnan is not someone who can hide her emotions, and her surprise is all written on her face.
Zhengguo also noticed it, but since he was a guest, he couldn't say anything.
Xu Lizhen felt a little uncomfortable and patted Zhengguo on the leg.
Zheng Guo also patted back, and then greeted Jiang Shengnan with a smile, "Why did you go to the countryside alone? You didn't come with your partner."
Jiang Shengnan was stunned for a moment, "I don't have a partner."
Finally, she could look at Zhengguo openly. The more she looked, the more she felt that the two of them were not a good match. But it was none of her business. Apart from complaining in her heart, she didn't have any other thoughts.
Zhengguo smiled and said, "Then let my cousin take you to the chicken farm later."
Jiang Shengnan was startled. Cousin? Isn't that a gay man
She waved her hand quickly, "No need! I'll just let my aunt take me there."
Zhengguo smiled and explained to her, "My grandma has to go to the chicken farm to work. She may not be able to take care of you. Let one more person follow you."
Xu Lizhen was speechless. This was a bit too much. A man and a woman strolling in a chicken farm, so many people watching would definitely misunderstand.
The little donkey also came to his senses and realized that the cousin Zhengguo was referring to was him. He was about to refuse when he heard Zhengguo speak.
Seeing that Jiang Shengnan wanted to refuse, Zhengguo quickly added, "Let my sister go with you."
Jiang Shengnan didn't refuse because she thought there was a female comrade following her.
Zhengguo put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the east room, where he found his grandmother chatting with his mother.
So he smiled and said to Qian Shulan, "Grandma, let Little Donkey and Little Peach take Comrade Jiang Shengnan to the chicken farm later. You can go and do your thing first."
Qian Shulan thought about it and decided it was a good idea, so she asked Sun Daqin to go with her to the chicken farm right away.
When we got to the yard, we told Xiao Min to stay at home and play and not run around.
Xiao Min was having fun and agreed immediately.
Xiao Tao was dragged out by Zheng Guoqiang to make a couple, but she was not angry. After all, her good sister Xiao Lian was still at her aunt's house in the county town and had not returned yet.
She talked to her mother for a while and was a little bored.
She stepped forward, took Jiang Shengnan's hand, and asked enthusiastically, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Shengnan was a little embarrassed. "I heard that your production team has a chicken farm and greenhouse vegetables. I want to go and have a look."
Xiaotao tilted her head and glanced at her mother.
Zhou Xuemei explained to Jiang Shengnan apologetically, "There are no more vegetables in the greenhouse. Now there are only empty shelves. Come back in winter to see them."
Jiang Shengnan was a little disappointed, but she soon became happy again because Xiaotao said, "Then let's go to the chicken farm. The chicken farm in our production team is very big. There are a lot of hens."
Jiang Shengnan's eyes were sparkling as she followed Xiaotao out.
The little donkey looked at the backs of the two and glared at Zhengguo angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Zhengguo glanced at him and said, "I just want to introduce you to a lesbian. I think this girl is pretty good and has a lively personality. She's a perfect match for a taciturn person like you."
The little donkey was so angry that his teeth itched.
Xu Lizhen tried to smooth things over, "Yan Ming, don't be angry, Zheng Guo is doing this for your own good. Even if you two can't be a couple, it's good to have a friend. Didn't my grandma always say that more friends mean more options?"
Having said that, it’s not that forced.
The little donkey glared at Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo, who was originally speaking righteously, immediately admitted his mistake with a bitter face after being pushed by Xu Lizhen. "Okay, I was wrong. Just think of it as giving me face and being the host for once."
Seeing that he was willing to admit his mistake so quickly, and seeing that he was so cowardly after listening to Xu Lizhen's words, the little donkey deliberately laughed at him, "Since you have admitted your mistake, I will forgive you generously."
Zheng Guo was so angry at the smug look on his face that he gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and go! They've already gone far away."
When the little donkey turned his head, the two men had disappeared, so he immediately ran out of the yard.
After the donkey left, Xu Lizhen glared at Zhengguo with a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you just tell her to let Xiaotao and the donkey go shopping together? You had to tell them separately. Be careful that people will think you have ulterior motives."
Zhengguo was a little proud, "You don't know this, right? What I said just now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that I am trying to match her up with Little Donkey. She will definitely be very curious about who Little Donkey is, and will unconsciously pay attention to him."
Xu Lizhen looked him up and down and said, "You are too cunning."
Jungkook waved his hands modestly, “No, no, it’s just a little trick.”
Xu Lizhen's face darkened. "You won't use this trick on me again in the future, will you?"
Damn! I've brought disaster upon myself! Zhengguo wanted to cry but he still said shamelessly, "How could I? You are my great contributor, how could I play tricks on you."
Xu Lizhen rolled her eyes and complained in her heart, "You're not being very cunning when it comes to me."
Seeing that his family was not there, Zhengguo changed his previous playful smile and said to Xu Lizhen, "You rest at home first. I'll go and bring something to our grandfather."
Xu Lizhen glanced at the sky and said, "It's too early now. I guess someone will be watching."
Zhengguo waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll carry the package during the day and say it's for my grandma. When it's dark and everyone at the chicken farm has left, I'll give the package to grandpa."
Xu Lizhen thought about it and warned him, "Then be careful."
Jungkook nodded and hurried away with the package.
