Thanks to "Yu Feng Ling Han" for the generous reward
…………………………
Ye Qingquan said: "When Qingya gets married and has a wife to worry about for him, we two old people can relax a little bit."
Ye Qing was immediately embarrassed. He probably thought his mother would tell her to arrange for him to go on a blind date. He had mentioned it many times on the phone before, but he was thin-skinned and never told her that he already had a girlfriend.
Sure enough, I heard Sun Huifen say: "Grandma Wang San from Wangtai Village next door has a cute little granddaughter named Lanlan. She is sixteen years old this year. She just graduated from junior high school and failed to enter high school. Now she is studying embroidery in the city.
The last time Grandma Wang San met me, she mentioned it to me and said it was for us
The youngest son of the family, Ye Qing, had a particularly good impression. He is handsome, has high medical skills, and has an excellent moral character. He was praised by people from all over the country. He wanted to bring Lan Lan and Qing Ya together. I think that girl is very pretty.
So you agreed to find another day for you two to meet?"
"Lanlan?" Ye Qing suddenly broke into a cold sweat. In his mind, he seemed to have seen him five or six years ago. The little girl had two long and slender braids. She was quite beautiful, but she was only eleven or twelve years old.
, you were doing homework in elementary school, and now you have graduated from junior high school?
She is sixteen years old, which means she is not yet sixteen. Isn't that a typical underage girl? Although marriage is early in rural areas, it is still too early. Moreover, in rural areas, it is not popular to fall in love for three to five years. I guess at most
In a year or two, the parents of both parties will be urging you to get married.
Marrying a girl who is fifteen or sixteen years old? Ye Qing feels very guilty and evil just thinking about it.
"Haha, brother is so lucky. The old cow eats tender grass, but Lanlan is much younger than me." Ye Jing couldn't help but stick out her tongue, snickering in her heart.
Ye Dadong hesitated and said: "Mom, this is not good, Lanlan is too young. I think we should find someone who can take care of Qingya. He is still a child himself." After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly, even though Ye Qing
Now his abilities have greatly improved, but in the heart of Ye Dadong, the eldest brother, Ye Qing is still a young boy and a child.
She Sina couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Qingya is about to become the director of the hospital. Why are you still looking at him with the same old eyes? Hey, you are not afraid that your brother will be angry?"
Then he turned to Ye Qing and smiled: "Your elder brother has a straight temper and says whatever comes to his mind. Don't blame him."
Ye Dadong: "..."
Xin said, "Didn't you say this to me before? In order to apologize to Ye Qing for you, why did you do the opposite now?"
Ye Qing had never gotten used to his sister-in-law's enthusiasm. At this time, he felt a little emotional, and immediately smiled and said: "Then why is it strange? Sister-in-law, you are too outspoken. We are all a family, so it's not like that."
You should avoid Big Brother more, don’t you think so?”
Ye Dadong laughed and said: "That's it, between us brothers, who is following whom?"
Little Apple's eyes were full of joy, and she shouted happily: "Uncle, uncle, do you want to marry Sister Xiaolan as your wife?"
Ye Qing sweated again. He called me uncle or his blind date sister? The whole situation was chaotic. He was about to collapse. He shrugged and said to everyone: "Look, you all heard it, right? Apple calls sister Lanlan."
Father Ye Qingquan waved his hand and said: "Don't the Wang family and our Ye family care about seniority? In rural areas, there are so many people who get married at a young age."
"Dad, I didn't mean that..." Ye Qing wanted to say that he had many girlfriends, but after all, he was still too thin-skinned and embarrassed to brag in front of so many people, especially in front of his parents. This kind of thing was even more embarrassing.
Sun Huifen said: "I have seen this kid Lan Lan. She is very lively. I think she is a good match for Qing Ya. Let's just spend the Chinese New Year period. While both of you are here, find a time for you two to meet. If you are right
Let's talk if we can get along, but if we don't get along, your parents won't force you, right?"
Ye Qing declined politely: "Mom, I still don't want to do it. What age are we in, and we are still going on a blind date?"
Sun Huifen said: "You can go on a blind date at any age, but who stipulates that you can't go on a blind date? If this child really doesn't want to go through the blind date process, it's okay for you two to just make an appointment to meet alone. How about neither of our parents showing up?"
"
She Sina said: "Qingya, why don't you ask Lanlan to go see a movie? There is a very good movie recently. Don't all young people like this tone?"
"..." Ye Qing was embarrassed. He asked a girl who had just graduated from junior high school to watch a movie? It was so funny. Even with An Xiaozhu, it made people feel more normal. After all, An Xiaozhu was an adult.
Ye Jing kept snickering, and at this moment she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mom~, don't worry about your second brother. He is such a playboy. He has provoked so many girls in Fuliu City, and he is still afraid.
Can’t you find a wife?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Even though Ye Qing showed amazing changes, had a successful career, and made a lot of money, he still could not completely change his "honest" impression in everyone's mind.
"What? Provoking a girl?" Mother Sun Huifen was the first to be stunned. She is like a mother. This boy has always been shy since he was a child. He will blush when he sees a beautiful girl and dare not say a word. Now he is really like this
Is there any future?
Father Ye Qingquan's eyes lit up, and Lao Huai was delighted. He said to himself, "This good son has finally enlightened and knows how to take the initiative to chase girls. Haha, he will have a good harvest in career and love, so good."
"Does Qingya have several girlfriends?" Ye Dadong asked with disbelief.
Sister-in-law She Sina said: "I have noticed it a long time ago. Our young lady is graceful and graceful, so she must be liked by many girls."
Little Apple shouted: "What does provoking girls mean? Uncle, have you bullied many girls? Why are you so bad?"
Seeing that everyone was either surprised, curious, admiring, or snickering, they all looked over with burning eyes. Ye Qing had no choice but to reluctantly say, "Well, I do have a few friends of the opposite sex."
"What, how many are there really?" When Sun Huifen heard this, she became unhappy and said sincerely, "Qingya, we are kind people, and it is not what we, the old Ye family, should do.
Well, don't play with other people's feelings, or you will harm others and yourself."
Ye Qing was embarrassed and said with a smile: "How could it be? Mom, you are thinking too much. I am talking about friends of the opposite sex, not girlfriends. I only have one girlfriend."
"Oh, what does she do?" Sun Huifen breathed a sigh of relief, and then inquired about her future daughter-in-law with great concern.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Qing. Even Little Apple stopped eating and drinking, looking at Ye Qing with a red face, thinking, what will my future aunt look like?
Is there any Aunt Xiaojing as beautiful as this? Hehe
"She is my colleague at the hospital. Her name is Ma Xiaoling. She is the attending physician in the obstetrics department and the director of the emergency department. After the new year, she will go to the provincial capital with me to organize the Ningcheng branch." Ye Qing answered truthfully. When he said this
, I don’t know why, I feel so sweet in my heart, as if I’ve eaten honey.
I thought, is this the taste of love? Khan, it seems that I feel this way when I think of An Xiaozhu, Ning Naoer, Yan Xueqin, Zhou Wei and others.
Are you really that bad? Falling in love with so many women at the same time? Oh, what should I do? However, there is one thing you must keep in mind, don’t let your family know, otherwise, your parents will probably
Will be angry to death
"That's good, they are a husband and wife team and they are girls from the city." Sister-in-law She Sina was filled with envy and asked, "Then what do her parents do?"
Originally, she wanted to ask directly what the financial conditions of the other party's family were like, how many houses they had, etc. Although the relationship between marriage was very important, the material conditions should not be ignored.
She had no idea that when she married Ye Dadong, she hardly considered Ye Dadong’s financial foundation.
"Her parents are teachers at Fuliu No. 1 Middle School." Ye Qing introduced with a smile.
Sun Huifen asked: "Isn't that the same school as Jingya?"
Ye Jing said: "Yes, yes, I met Sister Xiaoling and her parents last time, especially her father, who is also the vice principal of our school and has great prestige."
She Sina couldn't help but worry a little: "Then can she like our Ye family?" She said in her heart that it would be better if Ye Qing got married.
Ye Qingquan said: "What is there to look down on? If it is the kind of family that hates poverty and loves wealth, our Ye family will not bother to get married with them."
Sun Huifen said: "The key is that Qingya and the girl can get along well with each other. We can tolerate them."
Ye Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoling's parents are very good people."
Then, Sun Huifen, She Sina, and Little Apple asked Ye Qing many questions, such as how they met, how long they had been dating, what the girl looked like, what her personality was like, whether she was good to him, etc., Ye Qing
Qingdu answered truthfully one by one.
Ye Qingquan and Ye Dadong listened quietly with smiles and remained silent.
As for Ye Jing, she always had a smile in her eyes, looking at this warm scene, her black eyes like crescent moons sparkling.
She already knew everything about what happened between Ye Qing and Ma Xiaoling, and there was no need to ask. Even if there was something she didn't know, Ye Qing would definitely not tell it in public.
Ye Qingquan listened for a while and knew that Ma Xiaoling was a top choice in terms of medical skills, character, and appearance, and that his son also liked her, so he happily said: "Then make an appointment, and I'll
Go visit her home with your mother, propose a kiss or something, and show your sincerity at least." At the end of the sentence, everyone was beaming with joy, as if they had got a good daughter-in-law.
"Isn't this bad?" Ye Qing said coyly.
"Why is it bad?" Ye Qingquan asked.
Ye Qing stammered: "It feels too abrupt. I'm not mentally prepared yet. Besides, I still don't know if Xiaoling is willing." But he was a little worried in his heart. It seemed that he hadn't asked Xiaoling yet.
He proposed to me, but she never mentioned it. Could it be that he didn’t intend to marry her?
If Ma Xiaoling knew about it, she would definitely faint. Guy, when have you ever seen a girl take the initiative to propose marriage? Of course, this kind of thing requires conscious effort.
"You are just too thin-skinned," Sun Huifen chuckled, full of affection.
"Haha." Ye Qing laughed, thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't I ask Xiaoling to come over to our house to play and let you two meet each other? Anyway, I have been to her house, right? I'll give it a try in a day or two.
In the year, when everything was done, the parents of both parties sat down, had a casual meal together, and discussed the matter of marriage."
"That's okay, I think it will be tomorrow." Mother Sun Huifen was a little anxious to see her daughter-in-law.
"She may not be free tomorrow. I have no idea whether she will come or not. I'll call and ask." Ye Qing said, taking out his cell phone and dialing Ma Xiaoling's number.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ma Xiaoling's clear and hearty voice came from the other end of the phone, just like a silver bell. It was so sweet and addictive that you would never tire of listening to it.
Ye Qing wanted to say "I miss you", but when he saw so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he quickly changed his mind and went straight to the topic, saying: "I am having dinner with my family, what, with my parents?"
Talking about you, the two elders said they wanted to meet you, but I wonder if you will be free tomorrow?"
"Ah~" Ma Xiaolinghao couldn't help but twitch her wrist slightly, her beautiful eyes were moving, she was surprised and shy, and she said in a low voice and embarrassment, "You, are you inviting me to your home?"
"Yes." Ye Qing suddenly became nervous. If Xiaoling didn't want to do it, he would be embarrassed. What if he came and looked down on his own home, or if he couldn't live in or eat well, then...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shook my head in amusement, and thought to myself, who is Xiaoling? How could she be so superficial and snobbish? Don't you still understand this after having known her for so long?
"..., then, I'll go then." Ma Xiaoling was silent for a long time, and finally agreed shyly.
"Oh," Ye Qing grinned and gave a victory sign to his family.
"But I may not be able to do it tomorrow. I promised my mother that I would accompany her to buy new year's goods. How about the day after tomorrow, the 26th of the twelfth lunar month?" Ma Xiaoling said, with joy on her face, but with endless shame.
"Yeah, okay, then I'll tell my parents," Ye Qing said.
"Yeah, let's talk. By the way, say hello to my uncle and aunt for me." Ma Xiaoling knew that Ye Qing's parents were older than her parents, so according to the rules, she had to call her uncle and aunt.
Then Ye Qing said to the six people who were staring at him.
Sun Huifen was more attentive and said: "Ask that girl what she likes to eat. I will ask your dad to buy it tomorrow and then make it for her."
"Haha, my mom asked you what you like to eat?" Ye Qing smiled and continued chatting with Ma Xiaoling on the phone.
"I'll eat whatever you want," Ma Xiaoling chuckled.
"Well, I will make the decision for you. Don't be dissatisfied when the time comes," Ye Qing said jokingly.
"Tch, am I that kind of person?"
…………………………………………
After eating, Ye Qing went to the small clinic at home to help his eldest brother, diagnosing and treating patients, prescribing medicines, preparing medicinal materials, sorting them, and cleaning.
Ye Qingquan and Sun Huifen went to the town to buy things, which were nothing more than some fish and meat, dry goods from the north and south, candies and melon seeds, couplets and calendars, decorative paintings, blessing characters, firecrackers, fireworks and other new year goods.
Ye Jing went back to her room to read. She was in her third year of high school and had to take the college entrance examination within a few months of the new year. She was very imminent and her study tasks were very tight. Besides, like Ye Qing, she was a diligent child.
When I have free time, I will spend time studying.
She Sina took Little Apple to clean the house. The Spring Festival is a grand and grand festival. Every household has to change the bed sheets and quilt covers, clean the cobwebs, sweep the dust, and clean up the debris accumulated in the yard. In short,
, keep everything clean inside and outside the house
Is this the atmosphere of the New Year?
This is a traditional custom that is not only found in Yejia Village. Even the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month has been officially designated as the "Dust Removal Day"
Folk proverb goes: "On the twenty-fourth, clean the house." After the Stove Ceremony was held on the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, preparations for the New Year were officially made. According to ancient records, the Chinese nation has the habit of cleaning the courtyard at the end of the year.
"Dust dusting and sweeping the house" has a long history
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" states that sweeping dust during the Spring Festival began in the Yao and Shun era. Common people said that "dust" and "Chen" are homophonic.
We must sweep away all tangible and intangible "poor luck", "bad luck", "bad luck"...
The twelve volumes of "Qing Jia Lu" also record: "When the wax is about to die, it is appropriate to choose the day to sweep the house and remove the dust and dirt in the courtyard. Or it may be on the 23rd, 24th and 27th.
Commonly known as 'beating the dust'"
It can be seen that this custom entrusts people's desire to destroy the old and establish the new and the prayer to say goodbye to the old and usher in the new. It is also the traditional virtue of paying attention to hygiene and preventing diseases in winter accumulated by the Chinese nation in its long history.
From a medical point of view, it actually makes sense. If hygiene is improved and the home is clean, there will be fewer pathogenic bacteria. Naturally, there will be less "bad luck" and people will be healthy. As a result, a lot of medication will be saved.
,wasting money...,various factors leading to "poverty"
If you can't afford to get sick, a serious illness will lead to bankruptcy. This is not only true in modern times, but also in ancient times. At any time, prevention is far more important than rescue after the incident. "A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall." This is the wisdom of the ancients.
The Ye family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine and attaches great importance to "dusting day". Other families can do it in one day, but their family takes two or three days.
Although Ye Qing was busy at home, his heart was full of tranquility. He got up early and went to bed early. When he had nothing to do, he went into the Medical Spirit Pagoda to learn advanced medical skills. It was a rare comfort.
The next day, early in the morning, Ye Qing got up and practiced Tai Chi for a while. After breakfast, he and his father Ye Qingquan went to Majiazhuang, seven or eight miles away, for medical treatment.
In that Zhuangzi, there was an old man who was weak and had inconvenient legs and feet. He could not walk far. He got the phone number of the Ye family from somewhere, so he called and invited Ye Qingquan to come.
Ye Qingquan often provides free door-to-door clinics, so of course he happily agreed...
