Chapter 3(1/2)
The three members of the Li family arrived at the entrance of Zhaocun half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
The women under the ancient locust tree were very trustworthy. As soon as they appeared, they all looked at the Li family, especially Li Dasheng.
Li Dasheng is indeed tall and average-looking, but the bicycle he sits on is a plus, making him look different from ordinary village boys.
A very good young man.
Li Dasheng's mother deliberately pushed the two baskets behind her. When all the old women in Zhao Village saw her things, she got off the oxcart, walked to Mrs. Zhao, and said enthusiastically: "Aunt Wu
Son, have you been waiting for a long time? Get on the bullock cart quickly."
Mrs. Zhao smiled kindly, "It's okay, I'm just chatting with you guys."
Li Dasheng's mother helped people get into the car and moved the two baskets intentionally or unintentionally.
The women glanced over, but couldn't see much because they were covered with cloth. They only winked at each other and whispered what they were guessing.
Aunt Dong didn't see anyone else, so she asked straightforwardly: "Is this a date and you bring something with you?"
Li Dasheng's mother pretended to be very reserved, but in fact she was very proud, "It's nothing, it's my first time visiting, so it's hard to be empty-handed."
No matter what it is, in these days when materials are scarce, it’s amazing to bring something with you.
Women, especially those with daughters at home, began to have sore eyes.
Mrs. Zhao was smiling throughout the whole process, Accountant Li took notice of her, and she also had a good face.
Aunt Dong didn't have a girl, so she couldn't help but say sourly: "No wonder the old Zhao family attaches great importance to it. Even the second girl of her family came back from the commune. We don't have the conditions of your family. If we continue to compare, my son will not be able to marry a wife~
"
Li Dasheng's mother's eyes flashed, and she quietly hit her husband's lower back with her elbow.
Accountant Li didn't have any other reaction. He turned around and asked Mrs. Zhao to sit tight before driving the ox cart into the village.
Li Dasheng's mother looked at her son again. Li Dasheng held the handle with one hand, looking very cool and cool.
She suddenly raised her eyebrows again, with a son like this, what kind of girl can't be married to him?
A few minutes later, the Zhao family——
Zhao Feng was sitting next to the well washing vegetables, raising his head and shouting: "Dad! Mom! The fifth wife is here!"
Yu Xiulan and Zhao Jianguo heard the sound and came out from the main room to greet him.
In the kitchen, Zhao Ke stood up from the stove and stood behind the door to observe.
Accountant Li looks honest and honest.
As soon as Li Dasheng's mother entered the Zhao's courtyard, she started to look around. Her eyes paused on the bicycle in the courtyard, and then she turned away as if nothing had happened.
Li Dasheng...
It's not that Zhao Ke is biased. His eyebrows are scattered and his eyes are squinting... He doesn't look as honest as his father.
Zhao Mian, however, was not curious at all and picked up the ladle to pour hot water into the kettle.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao introduced the two families to each other, and first said good things to the Zhao family: "This family all earns work points, and the second girl is still a worker. Although it cost a lot to educate three children before, life will be good in the future.
"
Accountant Li smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
When Yu Xiulan went to the brigade meeting with the production team leader, she met Accountant Li. She was also very cheerful. She directly invited Zhao Wu Nai and the three members of the Li family into the main room, and then shouted to the kitchen: "Xiao Mian, bring some for Wu Nai and the guests."
Come water!"
After a while, Zhao Mian walked into the main room carrying a kettle and several teapots.
As soon as she appeared, Li Dasheng stared straight at her with astonishment.
Zhao Mian didn't look at him. After calling someone, he lowered his head and poured water.
Mrs. Zhao praised her: "Zhao Mian is the best girl in our village. She is beautiful and neat. She is still a junior high school student. She teaches in the primary school of our production team and is loved by the children."
Both the Li family and his wife looked at Zhao Mian.
Li Dasheng's mother was very picky and could not fault her for being unattractive. She smiled and praised Yu Xiulan: "How did you raise this girl, Director Yu? She is so handsome."
Li Dasheng's eyes kept following Zhao Mian, it was very hot.
Zhao Mian's face was burning.
Zhao Wu Nai immediately laughed and joked: "Young girl is thin-skinned, so you should stop it soon."
Li Dasheng's mother turned her head and saw her son's hopeless look, and coughed heavily.
Li Dasheng calmed down, but his eyes still glanced towards Zhao Mian unconsciously.
Mrs. Zhao Wu laughed even more happily, and Li Dasheng's mother also echoed her, laughing.
In the kitchen, Zhao Ke heard laughter and frowned.
The atmosphere is pretty good?
After a while, the kitchen door was pushed open and Zhao Mian walked in.
"sister?"
Zhao Mian shook his head slightly, "Mom asked me to go to her closet to get some food to entertain the guests."
Zhao Ke took a plate from the bowl rack and handed it over without changing his expression.
Outside the hospital, Zhao Feng, who was carrying water, caught a glimpse of the plate in the eldest sister's hand and turned his head guiltily.
In the main room, Zhao Mian brought a plate of melon seeds and peanuts and placed it in the middle of the table.
No candy bars.
Yu Xiulan subconsciously looked outside, and sure enough, Zhao Feng was probing around.
When a brat languishes and loses his temper, he is causing mischief.
Yu Xiulan couldn't help but lecture her son in front of outsiders, so she took a deep breath.
Next to him, Zhao Jianguo greeted the guests like no one else.
These days, Sunflower Seeds and Peanuts are doing a great job entertaining people, and the Li family doesn't feel like they're being treated poorly.
Li Dasheng's mother knocked a handful of shells on the table and glanced out the door, "Director Yu, I heard from people in your village that your second girl is back too? Can you call her out so we can take a look?"
As soon as she said this, the room fell silent.
Li Dasheng's eyes glanced left and right, trying to get people started.
Yu Xiulan was unhappy.
Watching? What are you watching? You’re not an opera singer.
Besides, dating is dating, and unmarried single young people must avoid suspicion. If there is any misunderstanding, wouldn't it be a conflict?
This mother is not a good person, and her son is also dishonest.
Mrs. Zhao got to know her better, Yu Xiulan, and tried to smooth things over: "Look, you are so impatient. If Dasheng and Xiao Mian fall in love with her, they will have many opportunities to visit relatives in the future. Forget it today."
The matchmaker spoke, and Accountant Li tapped the cigarette rod towards his wife, "Aunt Five is right, what are you in a hurry for?"
Li Dasheng's mother heard what the man in charge said and quickly made amends: "I love my daughter the most. I have heard that the second girl in your family has a lot of potential. I am envious of her. I think that if we become in-laws in the future, we will all be relatives and we will not see anyone outside."
Zhao Wunai has been a matchmaker for many years, and Yu Xiulan spends her days taking care of the affairs of the young women in the village, but you can't see her little bit of innocence.
The two of them were indifferent to today's blind date, but the process still had to go through, after all, they were fellow villagers.
Zhao Wu Nai turned to Yu Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, let Xiao Mian take Da Sheng out to talk."
Yu Xiulan greeted Zhao Mian: "Xiao Mian, please greet the guests well."
Zhao Mian is not stupid either. She doesn't care about it herself, but when it comes to her sister, she becomes very concerned about it.
It's just that she has a gentle look, and others can't tell.
The kitchen was in the west room, and Zhao Ke was there. Zhao Mian led Li Dasheng to the eaves of the landlord, where there was a bench where she often sat and worked when the weather was nice.
However, Zhao Ke kept listening to the noise in the main room. Thinking that there was no way his eldest sister could lead Li Dasheng to the kitchen, he slipped by the wall and went around to the back of the room, climbed back through the back window and eavesdropped.
Unexpectedly, the front window was not closed. When she went to close the window, she happened to slap a mask on the two people outside the front window.
The two sisters looked at each other, and Zhao Ke said: "..." Should I say it was a tacit understanding or a coincidence?
For a few seconds of silence, Li Dasheng looked at Zhao Ke up and down, his eyes full of consideration.
She's pretty good looking, but she's just too tall. She's not as pretty as her sister, which suits his aesthetic better, but she earns a salary and can get extra points.
Li Dasheng put on a smile, flipped up his hair in a pretense of coolness, and took the initiative to say: "Is this the second sister Zhao? My name is Li Dasheng."
Who is your sister?
Zhao Ke was really speechless, especially when he looked down at him just now.
Zhao Mian didn't like it either and said politely: "Brother Li, don't disturb my sister's rest. Let's go over there."
Li Dasheng didn't move his feet and smiled at Zhao Ke again, "Since I saw you and know each other, I will invite you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner."
There was no smile on Zhao Mian's face.
