"Sister, your Yulan is really nice. She is hard-working, capable, and honest. She also has a sweet mouth. She has been playing with us Weiwei all her life, so she has grown up watching her. We know each other well. I think she is very good. good… "
Yulan's mother thought to herself, is this Liu Chunzhi planning to marry her daughter? She paid attention and said humbly: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth, don't be upset. I think your Yulan is very good, and I want to pair her up with our Jianping. What do you think, girl? Is our Jianping okay?"
"Tell Jianping?" Yulan's mother was surprised. This was the mother who came to propose marriage in person.
"Yes, although there is a few years difference in age between the two of them, hey, those years don't matter at all. They look very suitable to me, and besides, the two young people also have eyes for each other."
"This..." Yulan's mother didn't know what to say for a while, but then she slowly understood and felt a little happy in her heart. The Li family's business is booming now, and they are a good family. When Yulan came to their house, she was considered a high-ranking person. There was nothing wrong with her, so she smiled and said, "I thought you were going to propose marriage to Jianbo, but I didn't know it was Jianping. Jianping is also pretty good."
Liu Chunzhi murmured in her heart, Jianbo has a high vision, and now that he has gone abroad again, how can he like a country girl who can't recognize a word? This Yulan mother can really think about it.
"Then the girl agrees?"
Yulan's mother smiled and said: "I don't have any objections. This is a great happy event. It's just that the head of our family is Jianguo, so we have to ask him what he means. If he thinks it's good, then let's make a decision."
"Okay, come on, sister, please say a few nice words for our Jianping. I'm waiting for your good news."
The two mothers discussed for a while, and the discussion became more and more congenial. I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Yulan came in and said to her mother: "Mom, dad said he was going back. When will you leave?"
"Hey, are you going back now?"
"Yeah, it's past three o'clock."
Yulan's mother felt that she could chat with Jianping's mother for another two hours. They talked about the marriage of their children, the business of the hot pot restaurant, and the harvest in the fields. By the way, they also talked about some strange things in Li Ming's country.
Yulan's mother took her daughter out of the house. The mother and daughter walked to a secluded place and asked her daughter in a low voice: "Yulan, how do the Li family treat you?"
Yu Lan nodded and said: "Very good."
Yulan's mother grinned and said: "That's right. My child, you are a man of great fortune. When you get rich in the future, you should help your younger brothers and sisters."
Yulan vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to ask for confirmation. Wang Jianguo was calling for someone in front, and Yulan's mother agreed and went.
Liu Chunzhi helped pay for the fare back to Yongning, and also gave two bottles of good wine, good cigarettes, and some fried peanuts, melon seeds, etc. for the younger brothers and sisters who brought Yulan to eat.
Holding these things, Wang Jianguo felt ashamed.
"Are you saying that their family is too hospitable? They invited us to dinner and gave us such things. The Li family is really rich. Since they are so rich, they should increase Yulan's salary."
"The wages are nothing. As long as you nod, the Li family's shop will be half of ours in the future."
"Hey, why do you say that?"
Yulan's mother smiled and said: "Jianguo, you don't know yet. Jianping's mother mentioned to me the marriage of our children. I think it's okay, but I have to ask you what you mean later. If you think it's good, it will be settled ”
"Marriage? Are you talking about Jianbo?"
Yulan's mother nodded Wang Jianguo's forehead: "Jianbo is something our family can think of. I heard that he went abroad. He was talking about Jianping."
Wang Jianguo said: "Jian Ping." His previous impression of Jian Ping was actually not good. He felt that this kid was worthless, not good at reading, and didn't learn any crafts. But now... it seems to be different. He thought about it carefully before saying, "But where does the Li family have the connections to send Jian Bo abroad? Does the Li family have such relatives?"
Yulan's mother said: "It must be Jianbo's biological mother who came here. That educated youth had a child with him, but the child's father never showed up. Later, when he returned to the city, didn't he give Jianbo to the Li family to be raised? . It must be that the educated youth got rich and took back his son and gave the Li family a lot of money, otherwise their family would be able to open such a big hotpot restaurant."
All Wang Jianguo heard was the words "a large amount of money". He thought to himself that it would be fine if Jianping wanted to marry Yulan, and the matter of the betrothal gift could be properly mentioned. Their family has been raising magnolia for more than ten years, and it is not in vain.
Within two days, Wang Jianguo came to the city again, this time specifically to see the Li family. I didn’t go to the hot pot restaurant either, but came to the Li family’s home.
He looked at the several spacious and bright bungalows with whitewashed walls and felt a little jealous. Li Wei happened to be at home after school, so she went out to say hello and then went back to her room to read the newspaper.
Wang Jianguo and Li Minghua said: "I have discussed it with Yulan's mother and think this marriage is a good one, so our family has no problem at all."
Liu Chunzhi mentioned it to Li Minghua when Jianping and Yulan were together. Li Minghua originally looked down on Yulan, but Chunzhi had already spoken, and the Wang family agreed. It seemed that this matter could not go away, so he said: "This is a great event. Wait until Let’s make a decision when we return to Yongning during the Chinese New Year.”
Wang Jianguo was naturally very happy after hearing this.
Li Wei heard it in the next room and thought that Wang Yulan was really going to be his sister-in-law. She is obviously not much older than me, but I am really not used to calling her sister-in-law from now on.
The marriage between the two was suddenly decided, and Wang Yulan did not move out of the Li family immediately. Liu Chunzhi wanted her to help until the Chinese New Year. After the New Year, when the two of them were officially engaged, she would not come to help with odd jobs for the time being.
The sound of guitar came from Jianping's room again. Li Wei also admired this brother. He was completely self-taught and now he could play the guitar better than anyone else.
Li Wei did not go to Jianping's room to listen to his playing because she knew Yulan was there at the moment. After the matter between the two became clear, Yulan was not as shy as before and often ran to Jianping's house.
Li Jianping lowered his head and finished playing a piece of music. Wang Yulan finally recovered from the music and asked blankly: "Brother Li, do you like me?"
Li Jianping was a little shy by this question, and was silent for a while. He looked at Yulan's watery eyes, which were extremely clear at the moment. His heart suddenly moved, and he kissed Yulan's face, and then said: "I don't hate it. "
When Wang Yulan came out, her face was red and her eyes could drip water. This is what a girl is like when she is pregnant.
"Weiwei, let me help you dry your clothes." Yulan came over to help, and Li Wei nodded in agreement. However, Yulan held the wet clothes but didn't put them on the bamboo pole to dry for a long time, and she didn't know why she was in a daze.
