Aunt Hong watched her daughter walk away and sighed, but she did not follow her. Instead, she comforted Ma Xiaoquan: "Xiaohu, don't take Lan Lan's words to heart. But Aunt Hong is also wondering, why do you care so much?"
Yuan Lan?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Aunt Hong, it's not that I care. It's just that I promised Ma Liehuo but couldn't do it. I always feel sorry for him..."
"You kid, are you still working as a matchmaker at such a young age? Haha, okay, Lan Lan is also a little tempered, and she doesn't know about Ma Liehuo, so I'll make it clear to her when I get back and it will be fine.
"Thank you Aunt Hong~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
...
At night, when Ma Xiaoquan was getting ready to sleep, Zhao Minglan suddenly broke in.
Seeing the apology on Zhao Minglan's face, Ma Xiaoquan didn't ask any more questions. He said, "Now that you've figured it out, don't accuse me wrongly, okay."
Zhao Minglan stuck out his tongue at Ma Xiaoquan: "I'm not in Phoenix City. Of course I don't know about Ma Liehuo. Even if I know, I'm not as clear as you, so misunderstandings are inevitable. But I still don't understand. I really feel that you
There is something different about Yuan Lan..."
"what's that?"
Zhao Minglan shook his head: "It's not like I like it, but it seems a little more than like it, but no matter what, I feel like a relative..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "If I said that Yuan Lan is my mother, would you believe it?"
"You're here, you're doing this again, don't think you can deceive me by just getting some music (MP3, Ma Xiaoquan introduced it to Zhao Minglan, but Zhao Minglan couldn't remember it). Let me tell you, I can't do it in the capital.
I have seen a lot of novel objects, and although they are not as good as yours, they are not bad either."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. He didn't want to explain to Zhao Minglan anymore. With the current domestic technological level, there is no way to produce MP3 player. Not to mention domestically, there is none abroad. But it's okay. Zhao Minglan didn't believe it from beginning to end, so he didn't believe it.
.
"Hehe~~" Ma Xiaoquan laughed, "I didn't lie to you, hehe~~"
Zhao Minglan punched Ma Xiaoquan.
The atmosphere became a little ambiguous for a moment. Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and quickly pushed Zhao Minglan and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest, and you should go to bed early."
"Oh, okay~~" Zhao Minglan's tone seemed a little reluctant, but she still withdrew.
...
A few days later, Mao's mother's client brought a message to the Yuan family, saying that a wedding banquet would be held at a certain manor restaurant, and told the Yuan family not to be late. She would ask someone to come over and tell them where to go.
Yuan's father and Yuan's mother were convinced of this, and even went to the old building department store to buy a new set of clothes.
Yuan Liang always disagreed with his parents' actions, but he had no way to refute it. He looked at his sister, hoping that she would make a final struggle. Unexpectedly, Yuan Lan's face was expressionless, and everything seemed to be resigned to fate.
Just when the Yuan family was getting ready to set off, a middle-aged woman came to the Yuan family, with a kind face and a very rich appearance.
After meeting with the Yuan family's parents, this rich woman praised the two of them very familiarly, saying that such a good girl was about to get engaged, how wonderful it was, etc., etc., which made Yuan's father and Yuan's mother very happy.
"By the way, since it is the engagement banquet, you also know that your in-laws have relatively high requirements, so you specifically asked me to take Yuan Lan over first and dress her up properly. You may have to invite several high-ranking officials to the engagement banquet."
The wealthy woman took Yuan's mother's hand and said with a smile.
Mother Yuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, eldest sister, you can do whatever you want. My Lanlan doesn't have any objections."
"That's okay~" The rich woman hummed, looked at Yuan Lan, and said with a smile, "Yuan Lan, then you come with me, the car is just outside. Well, you don't need to bring anything...
"
Yuan Lan nodded and followed the wealthy woman out of Yuan's house.
Sure enough, there was a car parked outside the door.
This car is not big and has a green shell, but it is very clean. You can tell at a glance that it is a special car for a certain high official.
In the early 1980s, people who could ride in cars were either rich or noble. Father Yuan and mother Yuan looked at each other, both of them were very excited, thinking that Director Mao was different, that he had a good reputation.
The wealthy woman arranged for Yuan Lan to sit in the back seat of the car, while she sat in the front passenger seat. She rolled down the window, waved to Yuan's father and mother, and said, "Remember to come, don't be late."
"I know, I know, hey, eldest sister, goodbye~~" Father Yuan and mother Yuan waved enthusiastically to the wealthy woman.
The rich woman smiled slightly and turned her head to look forward. Her originally kind expression turned cold instantly.
"Let's drive~" the rich woman said calmly.
The woman's cold tone made Yuan Lan, who had her head down, look up involuntarily. She had a vague feeling in her heart that something bad was going to happen to her today, but she couldn't put it into words.
Yuan Lan shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking that maybe she was overthinking it. Anyway, it was like this. Maybe marrying Mao Xiaoqiang after getting engaged would be a good thing...
Watching the car start and disappear from sight, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother looked at each other again, and then smiled knowingly.
Yuan Liang clicked his tongue twice and murmured: "Why do I think that fat woman is uneasy and well-meaning?"
"Pa~~" Yuan's mother slapped her son on the back of the head and cursed, "What are you talking about? You go back and change clothes quickly. It's best to take a shower first. Don't embarrass your sister. From now on, you, my brother-in-law, will have to
Good performance."
Yuan Liang rubbed the back of his head and said with an innocent expression: "What do I have to show for it? It's not me who is getting married. Besides, Mao Xiaoqiang must treat my brother-in-law better no matter what happens in the future."
Yuan's mother rolled her eyes at Yuan Liang, and Yuan's father stepped forward and said, "Hurry up, there's so much nonsense!"
Yuan Liang shrank his neck and entered the house muttering.
...
The direction the car was traveling in was too unfamiliar to a girl like Yuan Lan who rarely traveled far. Within twenty minutes, she didn't know where she was. Yuan Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, the vehicle suddenly stopped and the rich woman got out of the passenger seat and sat next to Yuan Lan in the back seat.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to dress you up. You have to attend the engagement party beautifully, right? Oh, she is such a beautiful girl... How old is she..."
Yuan Lan said softly: "Less than twenty."
"Tsk, tsk, you are so young. Being young is good..." The rich woman pinched Yuan Lan's face with her hands, "The skin is not bad either~"
Although they were both of the same sex, Yuan Lan was still a little uncomfortable being touched like this, and she subconsciously hid.
The rich woman smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, by the way, are you thirsty? Come on, drink some water~" As she said that, the woman took out a military green kettle and handed it to Yuan Lan.
Yuan Lan hesitated and didn't drink.
"Drink, look at your dry mouth. How can I apply makeup on your lips later?"
Yuan Lan snorted and took a sip without thinking too much.
In the front driver's seat, the young driver hummed and started the car.
"Tu tu tu tu~~" The car's engine made a noisy sound, and the driver Xiao Zhang took the opportunity to sigh softly and muttered: "I'm going to ruin a girl again, ugh~~"
...
Father Yuan and Mother Yuan were ready, waiting for someone to tell them where they were going.
Time passed by minute by second, and after waiting for more than an hour, no one came to notify me.
Yuan Liang got a little impatient and complained: "What's going on? Why didn't anyone come to notify us? Where are we going?"
"Stop talking and wait..."
"Mom, it's not me who said it, why do I feel something is wrong today~" Yuan Liang said again.
Yuan's mother glared at Yuan Liang impatiently: "Why are you so frustrated? Your sister is engaged and will not die. What are you mumbling about?"
"No, I just feel something is wrong~"
"Okay, if you keep talking nonsense, don't go today..."
Yuan Liang sighed and stopped talking.
...
In a farm somewhere.
A middle-aged man slowly walked out of the room. The door behind him was not closed. The door was directly facing the bed. On the bed was Yuan Lan. There was a pool of bright red blood on the snow-white sheets.
The man twisted his neck with satisfaction, tightened his trouser pockets, and walked into another room.
In the room, Mao Jianhua was rubbing his hands anxiously waiting for the arrival of this middle-aged man. When he saw him entering the room, he quickly went up to him and helped the middle-aged man sit down like a slave. He was even more exaggerated.
Kneeling directly in front of the middle-aged man.
"Minister, you..."
The middle-aged man chuckled and patted Mao Jianhua's shoulder heavily: "Jianhua, I didn't expect that you all said that this girl has a bad reputation, but in fact, this girl is still... well
, you are very good at doing things, and there should be no problem with your official position..."
When Mao Jianhua heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Minister, as long as you are satisfied, as long as you are satisfied~"
The middle-aged man nodded. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "Okay, I have one more minute, so I won't wait any longer. You can handle the rest of the matter~ Well, you, you can't do that in the future.
It's not good to let others know about your son's engagement, you know, but you did a good job today, and I'm very satisfied."
"Okay, don't worry, Minister~! It won't happen again, it won't happen again~" Mao Jianhua nodded and bowed.
...
More than an hour has passed.
The Yuan family, Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, who had been waiting all this time, finally lost their composure.
At this moment, the door suddenly banged.
Mother Yuan quickly got up and opened the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Mrs. Mao led Mao Xiaoqiang in aggressively.
