This was the first time Sun Ziqiang had finally come to his senses! When Song Tan looked at him, his cheeks flushed red.
Looking at Tian Tian again, she and Tian Ye went to wash the Houttuynia cordata again. I didn't see the look in their eyes, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then I let out a sigh of relief too early!
I only heard Song Tan ask in a low voice:
"How about it? Do you need my mom to act as a matchmaker for you? Or do you want to have a free love relationship?"
Sun Ziqiang's face was now red all the way to his ears!
He looked around in panic, then groaned, "No... No... That's not the case!"
Isn't that the case?!
Song Tan looked at him with a half-smile:
"Xiao Sun, think carefully. A girl like Tian Tian who is filial, kind, and responsible, if you don't get straight to the point, I'm afraid she won't fall in love until her family's debts are paid off."
"She's not like you. One person feeds the whole family. According to their family's debts and expenses, they have to work in the fields in the hot summer for at least two or three more years!"
Song Tan pretended not to notice Sun Ziqiang's distressed and somewhat disappointed expression, and continued: "Look, how long have you been doing this job? Your skin has been tanned like that, and you look haggard..."
Isn’t it
Sun Ziqiang himself could see it, otherwise he wouldn't have left the tea and eggs he had used to fill his stomach for them today.
Just like Song Tan said, Tian Tian was kind and responsible. She received a salary of 200 yuan, and her brother had to go to school, so she worked until noon every day.
The ladies who were packing the marinade all went home after 9 o'clock, but she carefully cleaned up until after 10 o'clock. In the afternoon, she came early and left late...
Before he could calm down, he heard Song Tan sigh again:
"You said that Tian Tian is smart, kind, and hardworking. How many girls as good as her can be found nowadays? That Zhou Tianyu is just a fool and doesn't like her."
That’s right! That’s right! Sun Ziqiang thought: He had seen it when they were eating fried August cakes on the mountain. These two were not the same kind of people.
"My aunt is the same - what family do you want to see? With Tian Tian's character, if the young man works hard for two years, he will definitely be able to live a good life!"
Her words sounded very old-fashioned, but Sun Ziqiang didn't notice it at all. He just kept nodding in his heart:
Yes, yes, yes, that’s absolutely right!
Sun Ziqiang was also poor in the past. He suffered a lot because of his biased parents. Although he is young now, he actually knows a lot!
He even knew that Song Tan was right.
Tian Tian is a person who doesn't want to be a burden to others. If he wants to pursue her, there is no possibility that Tian Tian will agree to him within two years!
But... But every day when I was working, I saw her working silently by the pond, sweating profusely, but she refused to be lazy at all...
Before he knew it, he couldn't take his eyes away.
Sun Ziqiang felt bad that the girl he liked worked so hard every day. He even calculated his savings again.
The excavator is second-hand, but fortunately the loan is not much, only two to three thousand yuan a month, and it can be paid off in two years.
I still have more than 30,000 yuan in savings.
However, I can continue working for Song Tan for a long time. Although the salary is not high, only 1,500 yuan a day, but after deducting various maintenance, oil and other expenses, I can still save 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.
Looking at Song Tan's clear eyes at this moment, he couldn't help but be shaken.
But... what if the deal doesn't work out? What if Tian Tian just doesn't like him like this
If that's the case, wouldn't it be awkward to get along with each other in the future
He couldn't lose his job, and Tian Tian's job couldn't be lost either. Thinking about it this way, it was really inappropriate to bring it up now.
But if she doesn't say anything, Tian Tian will have to work hard again, and her family will urge her to do important things in her life. In turn, she will have to persuade her family not to think too much... Wouldn't that make her life even more anxious
He had no other intention, he just wanted to say to Tian Tian:
"Don't be afraid if you're tired. There's someone holding you up. You can rest."
His thoughts were in a mess, and before he could make up his mind, he heard Tian Tian calling out:
"Song Tan, I'm drying the Houttuynia cordata. Tian Ye and I will go back first. He will come over at 3 pm to turn it over and dry it again. You don't have to worry about it."
Sun Ziqiang was stunned again—
She looks so beautiful when she smiles!
Her skin is darker than the one I saw a while ago. She is thinner, and her eyes are particularly bright. The dimples on her cheeks are so cute! But her face is a little flaky and her lips are dry...
Is it too hard
Of course!
When her motorcycle rang, Sun Ziqiang finally retracted his gaze and said to Song Tan solemnly:
"Then... could you please trouble Aunt Wulan to tell Tian Tian's family about this for me?"
…
Can matchmaking be considered troublesome
Especially young people, the kind that their families particularly appreciate.
When Wulan heard this, she laughed so hard that her teeth were showing:
"Don't worry, little grandson! I, your aunt, will help you! I guarantee it will work!"
They have been together for such a long time and eat at the same table. In addition, there are relatives or acquaintances between villages, even if there are many twists and turns. Wulan knows Sun Ziqiang inside and out.
only…
"Little Sun, you are three years younger than Tian Tian! I can't guarantee whether this girl likes younger guys or not. But don't worry, auntie will definitely try her best!"
At the same time, she praised him for his good vision and high efficiency: "Our little Sun is really good at vision, otherwise in two months, I would have planned to give it to my nephew."
Sun Ziqiang, who didn’t even think about the age difference:…
He immediately became anxious: "Aunt, talk to her family. I can decide my marriage. And we won't rush to get married even if we have reached an agreement. It will take at least two years! I can either save up money for a down payment or save up money to build a house in the village. It all depends on her opinion. I will definitely not let Tian Tian suffer any grievances!"
Wu Lan opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she saw that Sun Ziqiang, in order to show his credibility, even pulled the head of the engineering team who had just arrived today and said:
"If you don't believe me, ask Brother Xu. I've already discussed it with him. After we finish the work here, I'll go to the construction site with him. I'll earn more then! Ten thousand or twenty thousand is possible. I can earn enough for the down payment and the betrothal gift!"
He was so anxious that Wu Lan had trouble saying anything.
I have to say it.
"Xiao Sun, you think long-term. I just want to remind you that even if you want to get married, you can't. Have you forgotten that you are not even 22 yet?"
Sun Ziqiang: …
His face instantly turned red again.
Finally, he groaned and didn't know what to say, so he added:
"Aunt, I know Tian Tian is the head of the family now. Tell her... even if we are in a relationship and are getting married, it is her responsibility to take care of the family. Don't feel burdened."
