Mother Zhou stood up and held Ouyang Meihua's hand without disdain:
"Hello, future in-laws, we are Zhou Chengbin's parents. We are here to thank Team Leader Tian for being the matchmaker, and we also want to discuss the marriage of our two children."
"I just didn't expect that it's already October and you are still so busy. I'm really sorry."
Mother Zhou said and glared at her son.
Ouyang Meihua was embarrassed, her hands were full of dirt:
"Hello, hello, we are just planting some vegetable seedlings, and we will be done in a day or two."
"This is our own plan. The village will no longer organize us to grow and sell together. Cheng Bin doesn't know."
"Hahaha." Mother Zhou smiled happily when she heard her future in-laws speak for her son:
"Is that so? Since it is not under the control of the village, how about we go try it? I am very interested in planting seedlings."
Facing the smiling future in-laws, Ouyang Meihua couldn't refuse.
The three Zhou family members followed Ouyang Meihua to the greenhouse, and Tian Jing, the matchmaker and aunt, also went to have a look.
Zhou's mother seems very kind and friendly, but I don't know what she thinks of Xiaomai.
Wheat and Li Liguo were still planting seedlings without knowing anything.
Seeing Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, Xiaomai was still a little dazed:
"Uncle Zhou? Aunt Sun? Why are you here?"
When Zhou's mother saw the gray wheat squatting in the field, she scolded her son distressedly:
"Cheng Bin! You brat, your father-in-law has so much work to do, and you don't come to help?"
"You are my son. If you were my daughter's partner, I would be totally unwilling to do so."
"First, I don't know how to do farm work, and second, I don't have the eyesight. Go and work for Wheat as soon as possible."
Xiaomai was so frightened that she waved her hand and refused: "Aunt Sun, Cheng Bin can't do this job."
Zhou's mother objected: "Why can't you do it? Men can't get used to it. He doesn't know how to do it. You teach him."
Wheat will not cover up the object. This person is the object’s mother, so she should know what is going on:
"Aunt Sun, any seedling can be broken in Cheng Bin's hands. His hands don't know how to use gentle force."
"How could it be?" Zhou's mother knelt down and picked up a seedling:
"Don't you just dig a hole and bury it? How can you break the seedlings... eh."
Zhou's mother looked at the seedling in her hand with leaves and roots at a ninety-degree angle in surprise: "Why did its head break?"
Xiaomai "..." She finally knew what was going on with Zhou Chengbin.
"Pfft hahaha." Ouyang Meihua laughed loudly:
"Future in-laws, let me tell you, I was the same way at the beginning. I thought forget it. Since I am not suitable for farm work, I will stop doing it and just do housework."
"Later, the village asked each household to contract thirty acres of mountain land. I can't just let my husband do it alone, right?"
"I am also like you, taking a seedling and cutting off a seedling."
"I'm not convinced. My husband's hands are so skillful as a man's. How can I be so clumsy as a woman's hands?"
"Yes, yes!"
Mother Zhou glanced at her husband, who was already following the lessons from her future in-laws and planting seedlings, and agreed with her future in-laws:
"How did you learn it later?"
Ouyang Meihua squatted down, chatting while planting:
"I couldn't bear to destroy the seedlings, so I went to pull the wild vegetables from the back mountain. When the wild vegetables first sprouted, they were even more tender than the seedlings."
"That spring, the villagers who went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables were still wondering why the wild vegetable production suddenly decreased in large quantities? Hahaha."
"Hahaha." Mother Zhou also laughed. She stood up and walked to Ouyang Meihua and squatted down:
"So, you have never done farm work before?"
"More than that?" Ouyang Meihua sighed: "Don't talk about farm work, I am a woman who can burn a house full of smoke even if I light a fire."
"Nothing is difficult in this world, only those who are determined can do it. No matter what you study, you still have to push yourself."
"Yes, yes! My future in-laws are right!"
Zhou's mother agreed, but also pointed at her son with disdain, saying that his son was like a wooden stake. He couldn't plant seedlings well. Could it be that he couldn't dig a hole well?
Zhou Chengbin could only squat next to Mai Mai and pretend to help. He did help, but the more he helped, the more trouble he got.
Now that his mother is blaming him, he has to give her face.
Seeing Zhou's mother becoming more and more speculative as she talked with Ouyang Meihua, Tian Jing felt relieved.
This is a fast-talking woman with no scheming, as carefree as Ouyang Meihua.
At noon, Zeng Jingliang came to order dinner, so everyone put down their work and went back to the courtyard to wash and scrub.
After tasting Ah Feng's cooking skills, Zhou's mother exclaimed that she had tasted delicious food in the world.
Then I heard that Ah Feng was going to open a restaurant in the back mountain. She actually asked if there was anything she could do in the back mountain. She wanted to do it for free.
Just to taste Ah Feng’s craftsmanship.
Tian Jing glanced at Zhou's father, who was also a little moved: "Unless they are checking tickets at the entrance of small attractions, other places that make money are run by the villagers themselves."
Zhou's mother thinks that checking tickets is a good thing and has no technical content, so she wants to do it.
Zhou Chengbin was anxious: "Mom, didn't you say you wanted to take care of your grandson? Why did you go astray?"
"Oh~" Only then did Zhou's mother remember the business of the day and started talking about the marriage of Xiaomai and Zhou Chengbin.
Ouyang Meihua glanced at Tian Jing:
"Ordinarily, Wheatley and Chengbin have reached their age, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to delay them any longer."
"But Mai can't bear to leave Kushan, and Cheng Bin also works as an accountant here."
"I also prepared a homestead for barley and wheat..."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she sold her son directly regardless of her husband's objection:
"It's okay to let Cheng Bin and Mai Mai live in Kushan. The new house in the county town is for them to live in during the New Year."
"You don't know, I'm used to the days when I don't seem to have a son. Ever since he grew up, he has almost stayed away from the family."
"He either lived on campus or went to school in other places. After finally graduating, he went to Kushan to work as an accountant."
"At first, I was so angry that I almost swept him out with a big broom. Fortunately, he knew how to find me a daughter-in-law."
Father Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, his wife had not completely sold her son yet.
If the man has given in to this extent, what else is there to discuss about the marriage?
Finally, it was agreed that Zhou Chengbin and Xiaomai’s marriage would be scheduled for early May of the following year.
Because if we don’t hurry up, Kushanli will really get busy.
I'm busy even now.
After seeing off the Zhou family, Afeng and Zeng Jingliang began to draw up a list of necessary items for their wedding, as well as items that needed to be customized for the restaurant on the mountain.
Zeng Jingliang didn't dare to work, so Tian Jing drove them up the mountain to see the restaurant, so they decided to climb the mountain and take the cable car up. Anyway, they had plenty of time.
Li Zhengguo stayed with County Magistrate Ji and the others for two days. As soon as he sent the people away, he heard that they were going up the mountain as soon as he returned to the courtyard, so he gave him the key he had prepared:
"There are two places for you to choose from. One is the three caves on the eagle's mouth, and the other is the wooden building opposite the eagle's mouth."
"The cave on the eagle's mouth has been divided into two floors according to the style of a wooden building. You can decide for yourself after you take a look."
"The decorators are renovating the wooden building. You can discuss with them the changes that need to be made."
Zeng Jingliang took the key and thanked him sincerely. No matter what, Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing treated Ah Feng sincerely.
After investigation by the second brother and cousin, if Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing hadn't brought Ah Feng into Kushan, Ah Feng would have been forced by the man named Wang to work in a private restaurant.
As for the reason why the second brother destroyed the Wang family, the second brother did not tell him.
