Zhou Zhoulang walked up to Saturday Lang and shook his head. After shaking his head, he made a bowl of soup and called Shang Daji to eat naan in the store.
Zhou Lijun followed Qiu Peiniang into the backyard of their house. Old man Qiu and his mother were processing the sheep delivered in the morning. Seeing his daughter coming in with red eyes, he asked in surprise, "Why, have you been bullied?"
Qiu Peiniang suppressed tears and said, "No."
After finishing speaking, he pushed the door open and entered the room. Zhou Lijun chased them in, greeted them and squeezed into the room.
Old man Qiu and his wife looked at each other, old man Qiu put down his knife and wiped his hands and went out, while mother Qiu quietly looked into the room through the crack of the window, vaguely seeing Zhou Lijun sitting opposite her daughter.
But she heard what they said.
Zhou Lijun took out a handkerchief to wipe Qiu Peiniang's tears, and asked, "Sister Qiu, is it because my sixth uncle's inability to speak made you angry?"
Qiu Peiniang turned her back, wiped her tears and said angrily: "If he doesn't mean that, don't come to talk to me, I'm the only one in my family, but I don't let anyone bully me casually, what does he mean by that? "
Zhou Lijun was very curious about what her sixth uncle said.
So she turned to Qiu Peiniang and asked, "Sister Qiu, tell me what my sixth uncle said to you first?"
Qiu Peiniang's expression changed a few times, and then she spat, "Go and ask him yourself."
"Oh, why bother telling me to run back and forth again? Tell me quickly, is it because my sixth uncle finally got the hang of it and proposed marriage to you?"
Qiu Peiniang's eyes became redder, and tears couldn't help falling down. She sobbed and wiped away her tears and choked up, "Bah, who is he proposing marriage for? Whether he is proposing marriage for himself or for others, he should find my parents and me." what happened?"
Zhou Lijun was at a loss when he heard this, "Who else can my sixth uncle propose marriage to besides myself? Oh, sister Qiu, I'm not an outsider anymore, why are you still saying such angry words, you can't be half the master of your marriage? "
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been engaged until now, isn't it because her parents liked it and she didn't like it, and her parents didn't want to be a son-in-law because of what she liked, so it's been delayed until now
Qiu Peiniang is not a stingy person either. She wiped away her tears and repeated what Lang Gang said to her on Saturday, and then asked Zhou Lijun, "Does he want to tell me to a passing businessman, or does he want to elope with me? What is casual?" Where, go around?"
Zhou Lijun: ...
Now she can be sure that her sixth uncle has taken a fancy to him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him this question.
Thinking of her sixth uncle's age, if she doesn't talk about marriage, I'm afraid she really won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
So she coughed lightly and said, "Sister Qiu, you really misunderstood my sixth uncle. Of course, it's also my fault that my sixth uncle can't speak."
She said: "In fact, he has no other intentions, but his ambition is a bit different from others. Do you know why my sixth uncle has never married a wife?"
Qiu Peiniang had already calmed down, she wiped away her tears and asked, "Why?"
"Because he just likes to eat and also likes to make money. He wants to go out to eat delicious food and learn some skills in the future. He thinks that after marrying a wife, he can no longer go out," Zhou Lijun said meaningfully: "So, No matter how my grandparents urged me, my sixth uncle gritted his teeth and refused to talk about the relationship. If he didn't like it very much, he definitely couldn't mention it."
Qiu Peiniang's entire face turned bright red, but soon the redness faded, and she turned pale, "But, what about the parents and the elderly? They can't go around, right?"
Zhou Lijun said: "What's so difficult about this? My grandparents have my uncle and the others. It's fine for them to go back when they get old. As for your parents, don't worry about it. You think my sixth uncle can leave as soon as they say it." He wants to eat more delicious food and learn more skills, these things in the capital alone are enough for him to learn for a few years."
Qiu Peiniang's heart beat up.
Zhou Lijun bumped into her shoulder, "How about sister Qiu, shall I call you Aunt Six from now on?"
Qiu Peiniang blushed, turned around and said angrily, "Don't yell, it's not even a word."
"Then don't cry, or Uncle Qiu will say that my sixth uncle bullied you."
Qiu Peiniang couldn't help sighing when she heard her address, "Look at your address, I heard your sixth uncle call me brother dad yesterday, but I still called him brother Saturday, what's the matter with this seniority."
Zhou Lijun didn't care and said: "Once we make a marriage appointment, we will change it naturally."
Qiu Peiniang's face was flushed, she grabbed her handkerchief and stopped talking.
Zhou Lijun asked her in a low voice, "Then you agree or not?"
Qiu Peiniang whispered: "What's the use of my promise or not? This matter depends on the words of the parents and the matchmaker, right?"
"My fourth uncle and fifth uncle are here, but they can't be my sixth uncle's master, but don't be afraid, there is my sister-in-law here, and my sister-in-law can be my grandparents' master."
Qiu Peiniang also knows Man Bao, and has met her several times. She is familiar with Zhou Lijun, and she has heard her mention her sister-in-law more than once.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Will your sister-in-law like me?"
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is very nice. I'll bring her to see you when I'm free some other day..."
Even if the matter was temporarily uncovered, Mother Qiu quietly slipped away from under the window. Before noon, while Qiu Peiniang was cleaning the tables and chairs in front, Mother Qiu told him what she had heard in the morning.
Then he said: "Listen to this, Liu Liulang is a person who often travels far away."
The old man Qiu was stewing mutton, when he heard this, he said, "Why are you worrying about such an invisible thing? I think Li Jun is right, there are so many delicious foods in this capital city, and so do the surrounding cities and counties. I don't know how many years it will be."
"Then what will happen after he finishes visiting these places?"
"Hey, you elm head, by then he will even have a child, and he can leave the child and run away by himself. If we have a headache, will the girl leave us and go?" Old man Qiu said to this He was very open about this kind of disappearance, and he said: "Isn't it because he is filial, courteous and stable when we first set our sights on him? As long as there is no problem with his character, it will be fine."
Mother Qiu sighed, "I think Pei Niang is very willing."
"Don't you want to?" Old Man Qiu said, "Don't talk about the whole street, just talk about the people she has met in these years, who is more handsome and polite than him?"
Old Han Qiu paused and said: "I saw his fourth brother today, not to mention, he is two points more handsome than them, and looking at the younger ones in their family, the Zhou family's children are all good-looking ah."
So if his daughter had a baby...
The old man Qiu narrowed his eyes with joy, lowered his voice and asked, "I just talked to that Zhou Lang, guess what he said?"
"What did you say?"
"He said that his wife gave birth to another son. Now there are only three grandchildren in their family, but there are eight grandsons!"
Mother Qiu: ...
The old man Qiu sighed, "If there are too many of these things, they are worthless, and the grandson is the same, so I thought, for me, I don't want to marry Saturday Lang, and when I have a son in the future, I can just give the surname Qiu. "
