"Me?" Chen Simei was shocked and shook her head hurriedly, "Shouldn't the third sister go first?"
In rural areas, people talk about marriage from the oldest to the youngest, and the younger ones do not go first before the older ones.
After all, it is not easy to get married. The older one is older, so of course he has to start a family first.
"Originally, your third sister should have gone first, but now Sun Changyuan has taken a liking to you. I'm afraid of trouble, and he won't dare to settle on someone else. Sanmei, don't you blame Mom for being partial, right?"
Chen Sanmei shook her head, "Of course not." She didn't want to get married at all now.
"Isn't Sun Changyuan arrested?" Chen Zhaozhao laughed, "Mom, don't worry about him."
"I was afraid that he would be released after being arrested," Liu Guihua said. "I heard in the factory that some people acted like gangsters and were released within two days of being arrested."
"The situation should be different." Chen Zhaozhao said: "Sun Changyuan will not be released. Even if he is released, he will not be able to return here."
"Is this so?" Liu Guihua was still worried, and said, "Even if there is no Sun Changyuan, the eldest daughter of three plums and four plums is quite a young man, so it's time to get married."
"I'm not getting married, I'm not in a hurry." Chen Sanmei said, "I'm still young."
"Why are you so young? You are so old." Liu Guihua disagreed, "If you don't get married, you two will become old girls. Others as old as you will have two children."
People these days get married early, and if a girl doesn’t get married until she is twenty, her parents will be really anxious.
Outsiders also look at people through colored glasses.
I wonder if there is something wrong with this girl. The older she gets, the harder it is to find a family.
As for Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei, there were rumors in the village that they could not have children or could only have girls, so no one came to propose marriage.
Although Chen Zhaozhao persuaded Liu Guihua, his deep-rooted thoughts are not so easy to change.
Chen Zhaozhao understood Liu Guihua's mood, but, "Mom, don't be anxious. I'll meet the good guy you mentioned first to see how he's doing. You can't rush or be hasty about this."
"Yes, yes, Zhao Zhao has a look first. I believe in Zhao Zhao's vision." Chen Simei said immediately.
"Go and see it with her," Liu Guihua said.
Chen Simei shook her head, "I won't go."
"why are you not going?"
"I..." Chen Simei hesitated.
She looked at Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Sanmei for help.
The two looked at her encouragingly, but she shook her head hesitantly, feeling embarrassed.
"What are you guys doing here and there?" Liu Guihua asked with a frown.
"Oh, Mom, Simei has someone she likes." Chen Sanmei couldn't stand what Chen Simei had to say, so she told Liu Guihua directly so that she wouldn't be in a hurry to introduce someone to Chen Simei.
Chen Simei wanted to stop it, but she didn't really want to. After hearing Chen Sanmei's words, she exhaled and looked at Liu Guihua with embarrassment.
Liu Guihua frowned and looked at her, "Do you have someone you like? Who?"
"Just..." Chen Simei told Lu Linfeng's situation.
Liu Guihua knew that Chen Simei was rescued by a comrade in the mountains, but she hadn't been back for a while, so she didn't know the recent events.
When Chen Zhaozhao talked about Sun Changyuan just now, he didn't mention Lu Linfeng either.
"This Comrade Lu..." Liu Guihua said sadly after hearing this: "I'm afraid we can't afford to live in a family like that."
She previously wanted Chen Zhaozhao to marry Yu Jinggui because Yu Jinggui said he wanted to marry Chen Zhaozhao and they already had a child.
No matter how high you climb, you can still get married.
That was a special situation, but if it were a normal situation, she would have a lot to consider and worry about.
Chen Simei looked at Chen Zhaozhao for help.
Chen Zhaozhao said: "Mom, let's not talk about whether we are high or not. The fourth sister has goals, so you should not introduce people to her."
Chen Simei looked at Liu Guihua eagerly and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Guihua looked at her for a while, then turned to Chen Sanmei, "Then Sanmei, you go."
"Me?" Chen Sanmei shook her head in horror, "I won't go. Didn't you say that person is suitable for Simei?"
"It's also suitable for you." Liu Guihua said.
Chen Sanmei, "..."
"Then I won't go either. I just want to make money now and don't want to get married."
"You are so old and you are still not married. It will be difficult for you to get married in the future. Do you really want to be an old girl at home?"
"Mom, don't worry." Chen Zhaozhao said, "In a year or two, the sisters will become better and there will be more to choose from."
Liu Guihua wanted to retort, but Chen Zhaozhao gave her a reassuring look and looked at Chen Sanmei, "Third sister, why don't you go and have a look? It's okay to meet you anyway, just in case you fall in love with her."
My sisters now stay at home every day and don't see anyone. It's really difficult to get married without getting to know people through introductions.
It's impossible to really be an old girl forever. If you don't get married now, just look at the person. If you fall in love with her, you might as well get in touch first.
Moreover, after meeting people, Liu Guihua felt better and felt a little more at ease.
Since Chen Zhaozhao said this, Chen Sanmei agreed, and Liu Guihua was also happy.
Chen Damei and Chen Ermei came out of the kitchen and called for dinner.
Chen Zhaozhao went to the backyard to call Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan, who were repairing the chicken coop. The weather was getting warmer and there were two hens trying to hatch eggs.
I happened to raise two broods of chickens for Chen Damei to eat during her confinement period.
If you raise a lot of chickens, you have to build a separate chicken coop in the backyard.
Just behind the original chicken coop, there is an area for chickens to move around.
The next day, Liu Guihua went to work early, while Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Sanmei went later. They made an appointment to have lunch together.
After seizing the time to finish the morning's work, Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Sanmei dressed up and set off to the county soy sauce factory.
When they arrived, they waited for a while before getting off work at noon. Liu Guihua hurriedly came out to pick them up, registered at the gate, and took them to the cafeteria.
Their purpose this time was not to have a formal blind date, but to get to know each other.
It was decided to be in the staff canteen of the soy sauce factory.
Nowadays, people usually treat guests at home, or more formally in state-owned hotels in county towns. Workers in factories usually treat guests in canteens.
"I have already made an agreement with people." Liu Guihua explained as she walked to the canteen. It was obvious that she was very nervous, "Comrade Li has already gone to the canteen. Sanmei, you have to behave well in a while."
"Yeah." Chen Sanmei responded calmly.
Liu Guihua rolled her eyes and said, "Be more serious."
Chen Zhaozhao secretly patted the back of Chen Sanmei's hand, and Chen Sanmei immediately said seriously: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely perform well. You see, I have dressed up well today, which proves that I attach great importance to this meeting."
"Yes." Liu Guihua glanced at Chen Sanmei and nodded with satisfaction.
Her daughter is so beautiful, countless times more beautiful than all the city girls in the factory, and she is a perfect match for Comrade Li Mubai.
The three of them soon arrived outside the canteen. It was lunch time and there were many people in the canteen and it was noisy.
Chen Sanmei walked in the middle, holding Liu Guihua's right arm, and Chen Zhaozhao held her right arm, and the three of them entered the cafeteria side by side.
Round tables are arranged neatly in the canteen. Some people have already bought food and are eating around the table, while others are still queuing up.
Huixi County Soy Sauce Factory is not big, with about 200 people. The cafeteria is large and there are three windows for serving food, so it is not crowded.
As soon as the three of them entered the dining hall, they immediately attracted the attention of most people.
Liu Guihua pointed to a seat by the window on the left, "Let's go there and wait."
She had already made an appointment with Li Mubai to eat at that table, but there was no one at that table at the moment. "Comrade Li should still be waiting in line for food. You go and wait there while I go to line up for food."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao agreed, holding Chen Simei's arm as he walked to his seat. Many eyes followed him along the way. Chen Zhaozhao didn't care, but Chen Sanmei was not used to it, and was nervous and embarrassed.
Chen Zhaozhao pulled Chen Sanmei to sit down and glanced around. Those people looked away in embarrassment and started whispering to each other while eating.
Chen Zhaozhao smiled lightly and said to Chen Sanmei in a low voice: "Let's take a look at the queue and guess which one is Li Mubai."
