Zheng Juan’s house.
Zheng Xiu, Zheng Juan, and Zheng Guangming are all here.
Because of what happened yesterday, they didn't go out to set up a stall today.
Zheng Xiu and Zheng Juan were busy wearing candied haws. Zheng Guangming polished the bottom of the bottle.
"Juan'er, what do you think of Zhou Bingkun?" Zheng Xiu, the old lady, asked pretending to be casual. She had other expectations for Zhou Bingkun.
"Very good." Zheng Juan said casually. She was busy putting on her clothes and didn't think much about Zheng Xiu's question.
"Juan'er, do you think Zhou Bingkun likes to fight?" Zheng Xiu asked.
"Probably not." Zheng Juan said casually.
"Zhou Bingkun knocked down a dozen young men by himself yesterday. He is so powerful, why doesn't he like to fight?" Zheng Xiu continued to ask. There was some worry in her eyes, she was afraid that Zhou Bingkun was a bad guy.
"Mom, did you forget that Zhou Bingkun's hand was injured after the fight yesterday? He must not fight often, so his hand was worn out." Zheng Juan said casually. After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment. She understood what Zheng Xiu meant. She smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, don't worry about Zhou Bingkun. He is a worker and has a good family background. He looks down on our family."
"Juan'er, you look very nice. Zhou Bingkun was stunned when he looked at you yesterday. Maybe you and Zhou Bingkun can make it work." Zheng Xiu made it clear when he saw that the conversation was open. She was previously worried that Zhou Bingkun liked to fight and cause trouble, but now she knew that was not the case, so she wanted to bring Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan together.
"Even if Zhou Bingkun had an idea, his family would probably disagree if they knew about our family's situation." Zheng Juan said with a helpless smile.
"It's me and Guangming who are dragging you down, Juan'er. If it's really possible, you'll get married and leave me and Guangming alone." Zheng Xiudao.
"Sister, you don't have to worry about me. The abbot of Beituo Temple wants to accept me as his apprentice. I have a place to go." Zheng Guangming also spoke. He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Zheng Juan shook her head and continued to wear strings. It was impossible for her to leave Zheng Xiu and Zheng Guangming alone.
"Juan'er, you are 18 years old. It's time to find a good family to marry. If you delay a few years, you will be in trouble." Zheng Xiudao. She was worried that Zheng Juan was getting older and could only marry an old man or a second marriage. Then, life would be even more difficult. She was struggling day by day and never expected to live a good life.
"Mom, I understand." Zheng Juan responded. She understood what Zheng Xiu said, but finding a good family was not that easy. Her family's conditions are like this, so don't be wishful thinking.
Zheng Xiu and Zheng Juan continued to wear strings. Zheng Guangming held the bottom of the bottle and was silently in a daze.
Facing the pressure of survival, they are constantly struggling. They prayed to God for a way to survive.
...
At the door of Zheng Juan's house, a fat middle-aged woman came. She is Xue Fengmei, and she was asked by Li Suhua to arrange the marriage.
"Sister Zheng, is Sister Zheng at home?" Xue Fengmei shouted.
"Hey, here we come." The old lady Zheng Xiu came out reluctantly. She recognized the voice, it was Xue Fengmei. She doesn't like Xue Fengmei because Xue Fengmei mobilizes young people to go to the countryside.
"Sister Zheng, don't worry. It's a good thing that I came to visit today. I didn't ask Zheng Juan to go to the countryside." Xue Fengmei could tell at a glance what Zheng Xiu was worried about, and she said with a smile.
"Ah?" Zheng Xiu was a little confused. She didn't know what good things Xue Fengmei wanted to do with her? Is there a job coming? Looking for work from her and Zheng Juan? Aren't Xue Fengmei's things always in vain? Did you give money this time?
"You don't believe it?" Xue Fengmei walked towards the house as she spoke.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside first." Zheng Xiu let Xue Fengmei in unhappily. She was worried that Xue Fengmei would let Zheng Juan go to the countryside. If Zheng Juan went to the countryside, she would definitely be in bigger trouble.
"Oh, Zheng Juan and Guangming are here too, haha." Xue Fengmei smiled after entering the room.
"Auntie, are you here?" Zheng Juan responded hurriedly.
"Auntie." Zheng Guangming also called out.
"Hey, this Zheng Juan is really getting more and more likable, haha." Xue Fengmei stared at Zheng Juan hard.
"Auntie, please drink some hot water." Zheng Juan helped pour the hot water.
"Okay." Xue Fengmei took the water and kept looking at Zheng Juan up and down.
"Her aunt, is there something wrong?" Zheng Xiu asked proactively when Xue Fengmei didn't speak.
"Sister Zheng, I told you clearly that Zhou Bingkun of the Zhou family has fallen in love with your Zheng Juan, and the Zhou family asked me to come over to arrange the marriage." Xue Fengmei said with a smile.
"Ah!" The old lady Zheng Xiu was a little shocked. Although she had some thoughts about what happened yesterday, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Is Zhou Bingkun so anxious? Will there be any problem?
Zheng Juan was also panicked. She blushed instantly and turned around hastily, not daring to look at Xue Fengmei. She just turned her ear to Xue Fengmei, wanting to know what happened next.
"Sister Zheng, you must have met Zhou Bingkun yesterday, right?" Xue Fengmei asked.
"I've seen it before." Zheng Xiu nodded.
"That's good. Sister Zheng, let me tell you about the situation of the Zhou family first. Zhou Bingkun's father's name is Zhou Zhigang. He is a worker. He is now responding to the country's call and going to mountain cities to support national construction. He is an eighth-level worker and earns a monthly income of... ..,
Bingkun's mother's name is Li Suhua. She has nothing to do at home. She is sensible and kind. She has never been embarrassed by her neighbors. She will definitely be a good mother-in-law who is easy to get along with in the future...
Bingkun's brother Zhou Bingyi went to the Construction Corps. He is a high school student in a key middle school and will definitely have a big future...,
Bingkun's sister Zhou Rong is also a high school student in a good school, and she is also very beautiful.
Bingkun is the oldest member of the Zhou family. He graduated from junior high school and is 17 years old this year. He is an honest boy. He is in good health and has no problems. He never fights with others...
Sister Zheng, this is the situation of the Zhou family. What do you think? "Xue Fengmei directly told the truth about the Zhou family's situation.
"Well, I wonder if the Zhou family knows about my family's situation?" Zheng Xiu said nervously. She was quite satisfied with the situation of the Zhou family, but she was worried that the Zhou family would look down on her family.
"I know everything. Bingkun's mother and I have found out clearly. Yesterday we secretly took a look at Zheng Juan, haha." Xue Fengmei said with a smile. She accompanied Li Suhua yesterday to inquire about the situation.
"Zheng Juan and Guangming don't have household registration..." Zheng Xiu hesitated.
"I know this. I have already told Bingkun's mother. You don't have to worry. There is always a way to solve the household registration matter." Xue Fengmei smiled. She was very satisfied with Zheng Xiu's exposure of his shortcomings.
"My family Guangming..." Zheng Xiu hesitated. She wanted to talk about Zheng Guangming's eyes.
"Your Guangming Eyes, the Zhou family also knows about it and agrees that Zheng Juan will take care of Guangming in the future." Xue Fengmei directly pointed out what Zheng Xiu was worried about.
Yesterday, she also reminded Li Suhua about the Zheng family's situation, saying that the Zheng family's situation was not good, the elder was old and the younger was disabled.
Fortunately, Li Suhua said it today, Bingkun's father agreed, and Bingkun didn't dislike Guangming, so there was no problem.
"Auntie, I don't need my sister to take care of me. I'm going to Beituo Temple. The abbot there wants to accept me as a disciple." Zheng Guangming spoke in time.
His words silenced everyone in the house.
"Silly boy, Bingkun promised to take care of you, so you don't have to become a monk." Xue Fengmei was a little moved. Her eyes were a little moist. People are easily moved and jealous, which are all determined by their status.
"Auntie, I want to go to Beituo Temple. It's very nice there." Zheng Guangming continued.
Zheng Xiu shed tears, but she did not speak.
"Guangming, even if I don't get married, I won't let you go to Beituo Temple." Zheng Juan said firmly. She also cried.
"Sister, the abbot of Beituo Temple treats me very well, and I like it there too." Zheng Guangming said with a smile. His tears also flowed down.
"Well, Guangming, don't worry in advance. Let's talk about Bingkun and Zheng Juan's marriage first. Sister Zheng, Zheng Juan, what do you think?" Xue Fengmei asked.
Zheng Xiu wanted to agree, but she didn't dare to be Zheng Juan's boss. She looked at Zheng Juan.
"Auntie, Zhou... Zhou Bingkun is only 17 years old. Isn't he a bit young?" Zheng Juan said hesitantly. Her face felt a little hot.
"Oh, you're talking about age. Bingkun's mother said to get engaged first and then get married after a year." Xue Fengmei said with a smile. "A good thing has happened," she thought.
"Mom, you make the decision." Zheng Juan looked at Zheng Xiu and said shyly.
"Okay, okay, um, her aunt, let's go outside and have a few words." Zheng Xiu said happily. Zheng Juan had a good place to go, and a stone fell in her heart. As for her and Zheng Guangming, there is always a way to survive.
Zheng Guangming on the side also smiled. He decided that after Zheng Juan got married, he would go to Beituo Temple to become a monk. He will never drag Zheng Juan down.
