After matchmaker Zhang finished delivering the message and gifts, she left the Huang family with a smile.
It's my first time visiting, just to express a man's attitude.
Whether it works or not, the woman has to think about it for a few days.
But no matter what the outcome is, in the end, we still have to ask Matchmaker Zhang to pass the message back.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, a young man with his trouser legs rolled up and a little yellow mud on his body reached out and took out a can of sugary oranges from his net bag and looked at it: "When can Li Paitou's family afford so many things?"
He put down the canned oranges with sugar water and picked up a pack of Hongmei cigarettes to open and taste them.
But a figure suddenly emerged from the back room, snatched the cigarette from his hand and said, "Brother, are you still willing to smoke this?"
Huang Gui looked at his sister Huang Yun helplessly and said, "They want to give it to themselves, what's wrong if I take a pack?"
Huang Yun handed the cigarette to her old man and said, "This is also for the old man."
She watched Li Shiqiang buy these things all the way, so she naturally knew how expensive these things were.
While she was touched that Li Shiqiang could give such a precious thing for the sake of two people, she also felt sorry for him.
Huang Qingyun has been coveting these Hongmei cigarettes for a while. He usually goes to the commune for meetings and sees everyone else smoking paper cigarettes, but he is the only one still smoking dry cigarettes.
When his daughter handed him a cigarette, he quickly opened it and lit one for himself.
He was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the second son of Li Paitou's family, but in his heart he still hoped that this would happen.
After all, Jinsha Village is now entirely supported by Li Paitou and the people in the village. If Li Paitou quits in the future, Li Laoer can continue to work.
What's more, his own daughter has already fallen in love with Li Laoer, and it would be great if the marriage can happen.
Different from Huang Qingyun's inner thoughts, Zhou Fenglan was still very resistant to this marriage.
All she wanted was for her daughter to marry into a commune, at least find a worker husband and have public meals, instead of having to stay in the countryside like herself, having to get up at dawn every day to prepare breakfast, and then go to the fields to earn work points.
"can!"
Therefore, when she heard her youngest son's pitiful voice again, she grabbed his mouth and said angrily: "Why do you taste so delicious? This is not from our family, don't eat it. If you want to eat it, wait. Your old man will buy it for you!”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"No! I want to eat it!"
The child immediately started crying when he saw that he could not eat his beloved canned oranges with sugar water and was pinched.
Seeing this, Huang Yun quickly touched his head and said, "My youngest, don't cry. I'll open a can for you."
After saying that, she picked up the can on the table and prepared to open it.
"Who asked you to open it? We don't want the things sent by the Li family. We will ask Matchmaker Zhang to send them back tomorrow."
Zhou Fenglan was talking to her daughter with eyes wide open, but she saw her turning to look at Huang Qingyun and saying, "Old man, I've already started smoking, how can I get rid of this thing?"
"Then buy a new pack."
"Bo!"
Huang Yun looked at the opened can of orange juice in her hand with a smile and said, "What if this one is also opened?"
"you!"
Zhou Fenglan looked angry and pointed at her: "Do you really want to marry Li Erwa?"
Huang Yun was a little desperate at this time, and nodded directly: "I just want to marry Brother Qiang, what's wrong? Brother Qiang is so good to me, I just want to be with him every day!"
"Snapped!"
Listening to her daughter saying such shameful words, Zhou Fenglan slapped her hand on the table: "What's the benefit of marrying him! He's just a peasant! If you marry into a commune..."
"Snapped!"
Before Zhou Fenglan finished speaking, Huang Qingyun slapped the table with an angry face: "What do you mean by a peasant?! Are you an enemy of the bourgeoisie? Do you want our family to be arrested and criticized?"
Zhou Fenglan also realized that she had said something wrong in her desperation.
If others heard this and reported it, their family would be in trouble.
She stood up and walked to the door of the main room with a guilty conscience. After looking outside, she turned around and said, "I just don't want the third child to stay in the countryside like me. What's wrong! If she marries a worker, not only will she not have to go to the fields to earn work points, but she will also I can eat commercial food.”
"I do!"
Huang Yun raised her head and said with a serious face: "No matter how hard and tiring it is, I am willing to marry Brother Qiang. When the old man was still digging fields in the mountains, you weren't married to him!"
"It's different now!"
Zhou Fenglan shook her head, and returned to the table and sat down again with some boredom.
Seeing that Huang Yun was unable to persuade her mother, she felt a little anxious.
She picked up a pack of Hongmei cigarettes on the table and handed it to her eldest brother Huang Gui, with a pleading look in her eyes.
As the eldest brother, Huang Gui couldn't bear to see his sister so pitiful. Although he felt that what his mother said was somewhat reasonable, he still hesitated and said, "Mom, how about this? Since you want Yunmei to live a good life, Life, then let’s set a condition for Li Erwa.”
"If he can do it, it means he has the strength to give Yun Mei a good life, then let Yun Mei marry him. If he can't do it, then we can't be blamed."
Zhou Fenglan thought about it for a while and quickly asked: "What are the conditions?"
Huang Gui glanced at the bicycle lane in his yard: "I heard that in the city and in the commune, there is a popular saying that the three major wedding items are bicycles, sewing machines, and watches. If Li Erwa has the ability to buy these things, , then let Yun Mei marry him."
When Huang Yun heard the names of these three major items, she quickly stared at her eldest brother.
But Zhou Fenglan's eyes lit up and she quickly shouted: "Okay!"
However, just after she finished speaking, she continued: "It's not enough. At least we can afford a blue-tiled house. Otherwise, where would the Li family have a place to live?"
"Mom, the total of these is probably a thousand yuan. Who can afford so much money? Can't you do without those three major items? Just let Brother Qiang build a room." Huang Yun looked anxious. shouted quickly.
"No way!"
Zhou Fenglan waved her hands very simply and said: "It's settled, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to come up with these things!"
Huang Yun's eyes were so anxious that her eyes were red. She quickly turned to look at Huang Qingyun and said, "Old man, say something! Who needs so many things to get married? I'm not made of gold!"
Huang Qingyun looked at the cigarette in his hand, turned his head and was about to say something, but Zhou Fenglan on the side stared at him sideways and said: "Do you think that the third child, like the second child, has to go out to earn money while pregnant with a baby?" Work points? Did you see the second child when he went back to his parents’ house during the Chinese New Year? How thin has the second child become?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Qingyun immediately sighed, turned to Huang Yun and said, "I have no choice but to look at Li Erwa's ability."
"I'm going to find Brother Qiang!"
Huang Yun endured the sadness in her heart, first grabbed the cigarette from her elder brother's hand, and then ran out directly.
