Father Pei continued: "Either you look crooked or crooked. We don't pick what a person looks like. It's hard to find someone who looks like you. But at least you have to be more upright. Some young people

He’s not even as tall as a holly.”

"Others, either their families are unreliable and careless, or they are widowers or divorced."

"That postman is divorced and has a daughter. The job is good, but can I marry my daughter to a divorced person? As for that? There are so many people in these ten miles and eight towns, and a good young man is not good for me.

Are you looking for me? Where can I be a stepmother?"

"Everyone of them is unreliable. I've inquired about them all. I didn't make myself mad. They dare to come to your door for anything." Father Pei complained to his heart's content.

Ye Yaodong touched his nose and felt that these words also meant something about him.

This old fox is very clever, can calculate well, and can speak well.

"My uncle is right, and he is right in considering it. When choosing a son-in-law for your daughter to marry, you are not buying pork. When buying pork, you have to choose someone who is fat or thin."

"I used to have an embroidered pillow. No one looked up to me. It was just a face. I kept asking about whose daughter I was marrying, marrying a man to a man, dressing and eating."

"Isn't it easy to inquire about someone around here? Those people are just trying their luck."

"Hard work, good character and good temper are the first priority, but you can't be too shabby. After all, our little sister is not bad either."

Father Pei nodded in agreement.

"So you are already optimistic about Chen Qishui?"

He put his hands on the hoe and started talking to Ye Yaodong.

"To tell you the truth, I'm still waiting and watching. This kid doesn't seem to be that honest, and he's also a bit naughty. We still have to look at his character. But don't worry, it also depends on Dongqing's wishes."

"When I look for a son-in-law, I don't expect him to have much ability or good family conditions. As long as the family members are responsible, the younger generation is hardworking and willing to work, his character is good, and he can live a good life."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right. As long as we can live a good life, work hard, and the family members are honest and responsible. After all, getting married is also a matter of two families, not just two people. You also have to look at other people's families.

Human character.”

"Yes, your father is hard-working and honest, and your mother is well-known as a capable person in the village. There is no discord among the brothers and sisters-in-law in the family, and they are all very capable."

"Getting married to your family is really a good thing that you can't even find in a lantern. It's a big deal for a stupid boy like A Guang. I couldn't even think about it before letting go."

"The three children at home are also suffering. They have not had a mother since they were young. Many things are inconvenient for me as a father. Now that life is getting better, I hope that they can also live well in the rest of their lives. I want to choose carefully now, hoping that I can

Pick a good one.”

Ye Yaodong echoed and listened for a while before ending the topic.

"Really, I've told you so much and dragged you here to eat at home at noon?"

"No, the food must have been cooked at home. I'll go back and help Huimei take care of the children for a while. I didn't see them for a while, and the two children almost ate shit."

Father Pei chuckled and asked a few more questions. After Ye Yaodong said that, he walked home.

Ye Huimei saw him scraping the mud under his feet on the threshold stone and asked, "What did my father say?"

"He has someone in mind and is currently checking it out. I don't need to bother him."

"Who is it? Why didn't I know?"

"Go and ask him yourself. I can't bring it up to talk about the fact that there's nothing wrong with it. It would be bad if it spreads."

"Oh, I thought they had no plans and would wait until the baby was born."

Ye Yaodong looked at the two sisters who were playing with the twins in the cage with toys, walked over and asked Ye Xiaoxi, "Do you want to go home?"

"don't want."

"Then take your sister home?"

"Okay, bring my brother too."

"My brothers eat shit, do you want to take care of them?"

Ye Xiaoxi struggled for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want my younger brother anymore."

Ye Huimei was angry, "That's nonsense. Third brother, you always teach bad children. They are just young and ignorant, but they haven't eaten either."

"That's because I was in time, otherwise it would have been in my mouth."

He held one in each hand, preparing to take the two little girls back, and also to lighten Ye Huimei's burden and save one of them.

The two little ones will not run around even if they stand in the cage, and Pei Yu and Ye Xiaoxi will have a companion when they go back.

"Third brother, take that snake back by the way. A Guang is not at home, so you can take it and eat it."

"I don't dare to deal with it, and I won't. I can only speak out, so you should keep it."

"I think if there is no Aguang among your friends, you will have to disperse."

"That's not possible. He's not that important. He would have to leave without the fat man."

What he said made sense, and she couldn't refute it.

"Gone."

Ye Yaodong took the two little girls home one by one.

The two little girls were jumping around on the road. When they saw wild flowers on the roadside, they would stop to smell them, pick them, and stick them in each other's heads.

Seeing butterflies and dragonflies will chase them.

When they got home, they all picked a lot of flowers and were very happy.

Ye Yaodong also looked at the two of them with a smile all the way. Who said that his daughter was not good? Isn't she cuter than a brat?

Two brats can only fight when they get together, but two little girls can catch butterflies, dragonflies, and pick wild flowers when they get together. They giggled all the way, how cute they looked.

The two were also good at pleasing people and gave Lin Xiuqing all the wild flowers they picked.

Lin Xiuqing was also smiling, "I picked so many wild flowers, can I make a garland for you?"

Both of them were very excited, "Okay, okay!"

"Weave a garland and bring a garland."

Lin Xiuqing brought the basket on her knees to the old lady. She was choosing vegetables and planned to stir-fry them for lunch.

"Ah Dong, go pick some willow branches and bring them back. Put the flowers in them so they won't break easily."

"OK."

After the two little girls put on garlands, they were so happy that they ran out to show off to other children.

When Lin Xiuqing was weaving the wreath, she also asked about the result.

As expected, it didn't catch anyone's attention.

But she didn't expect that their friend would catch Pei's father's eye.

"Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Wang Guangliang came to you as a matchmaker. After all, this guy is more active and has a more active mind. I've seen him always getting close to Dongqing before."

"He's not good. He's too lively, and he's also a bit talkative. He's not honest."

"Aren't you the same?"

"It's meaningless for you to say this. Can anyone be as loyal as me? This guy doesn't seem to be a law-abiding guy. I heard that everyone in the city... looks unreliable."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him confused, "What are you doing in the city?"

"It's nothing. His true nature is more completely exposed outside. Most men don't know who he is. He is also self-aware."

Lin Xiuqing knew that he was not telling the truth, but she did not hold on to him.

I have an idea of ​​what the bad shortcomings are. I can ask again later.

"Dongqing was also polite to him, and he was also smart. Otherwise, people would have come to ask questions long ago. After all, Dongqing has such good conditions, and those people all came to her like wolves."

"A clever one indeed."

Everyone knows whether there is feces on the butt or not.

In the evening, when Chen Shi came to ask, Ye Yaodong also told him the truth, saying that Pei's father already had someone in mind and asked him to change to a big tree.

"There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? There should not be many people to introduce you to it. Just find a girl who is similar to your job."

Chen Shi was not disappointed, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I... know the result, so I just... want to try it. Just try it... I'll save money first."

"Well, save money carefully. There is no need to rush to get married when you are only 20 years old. Save more, marry a wife in two years, and live a good life."

"good."

"She... is a... good girl. As long as she is happy... she is good."

"Um."

After Chen Shi went out, he did not go home. Instead, he went to the workshop to continue working and help. He was a wise man.

Ye Yaodong also followed him around the workshop, but unexpectedly he met Secretary Chen looking for him.

It turned out that he was notified to go to the party school in the town at 8 a.m. next Monday to participate in political study activities.

He was busy and forgot about it during this period, and almost forgot the party application he submitted some time ago.

"You happen to be at home, but I'm worried that you'll miss your political studies if you're not at home. You can't just ask for leave for this."
