Zhang Fugui waved his hand to signal Zhang Lao Da to go back first. He sat opposite Zhang Lao San and said, "Lao San, you are twenty this year. It is time to marry a wife."
Suddenly hearing Zhang Fugui say that it was time for him to marry a wife, Zhang Lao San, who was wiping his body, froze. He looked at Zhang Fugui doubtfully. He didn't understand why Zhang Fugui suddenly said such a sentence.
Zhang Fugui was annoyed by Zhang Lao San's doubtful look, but he continued to smile and said, "Lao San, do you have a girl you like? If you do, tell Father. Father will find someone to help you talk to her. "
Zhang Fugui's appearance at this moment was really like a loving father who was thinking about his child.
However, Zhang Lao San was used to Zhang Fugui's indifference to him and turning a blind eye to him. When Zhang Fugui suddenly treated him well, Zhang Lao San was particularly uncomfortable.
Zhang Lao San looked at Zhang Fugui sitting opposite him. He thought for a moment and said, "Father, I am stupid. If you have something to say, just say it."
Even if Zhang Fugui found him a problematic wife, he would accept it. But please don't use such a strange tone to talk to him. He was really cautious.
Zhang Fugui didn't expect that Zhang Lao San would be like this when he talked to him nicely. He was a little unhappy in an instant. His face fell and he asked with a gloomy face, "Tell me honestly. What is going on between you and the girl from the city?"
Zhang Lao San suddenly heard Zhang Fugui ask about Jiujiu. He was stunned and subconsciously denied, "I am a farmer. What can I do with a girl?"
Zhang Fugui didn't expect that Zhang Lao San, who had always been a man of few words, would actually start to lie. He raised his hand and slammed it on the table. He said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense with Father. Don't think that Father doesn't know that you go to that girl's house every day when you come back from the fields."
Zhang Lao San looked at Zhang Fugui in amazement. He didn't expect Zhang Fugui to know that he went to Jiujiu's house. He blushed and said, "Father, the girl's family has something that she wants me to help with. Don't say it so harshly."
"My words are harsh. How dare you say that you haven't spent a few hours in that girl's room? Don't think that I don't know that you've taken a fancy to that girl."
Zhang Fugui snorted and coldly looked at Zhang Laosan. His face was full of disbelief. Don't think that just because he said that he went to help the girl, he would believe him. There were so many people in the village who needed help, but he didn't see Zhang Laosan going to help. Wasn't it because the girl was beautiful that he went to help? Besides, a single man and a single woman, just like what the boss said, how could there be no problem?
Zhang Fugui pursed his lips and said, "If you really like the girl, then nod your head. Even if I have to be thick-skinned, I'll send someone to tell her. If you don't like her, then you should give up on this idea, lest you harm others and yourself."
After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he gave Zhang Laosan a look that said, "Take care of yourself." Then, he went back to his room.
Because of Zhang Fugui's words, Zhang Laosan didn't sleep well the whole night. The next day, he was listless when he worked. At night, when everyone had left, he still stayed in the field and dilly-dallied. It wasn't until it was really late that he picked up the hoe and went home.
Originally, he didn't want to go to Jiujiu's house today, but when he thought of Jiujiu's words last night, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but walk toward Jiujiu's house.
When he saw Jiujiu standing outside the fence waiting for him, Zhang Laosan's face couldn't help but soften a lot.
Seeing Zhang Laosan appear, Jiujiu immediately smiled and waved at him. As she walked into the house, she said, "I just made some puffs today. Big Brother Zhang, try it later and see if it's delicious."
Hearing Jiujiu's sweet voice that was as soft as a fruit cake, Zhang Laosan's heart was like soaked in water. Looking at Jiujiu's face, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't. But if he didn't speak, he was afraid that Zhang Fugui would really send someone to propose marriage.
Whether Jiujiu agreed or not, Zhang Fugui's heart wasn't particularly good.
If Jiujiu agreed, with Zhang Fugui's bias, he would definitely ask Jiujiu to build a brick house for their family. If Jiujiu didn't agree, he would become a toad that wanted to eat swan meat. No matter which one it was, it wouldn't be good.
Because of this matter in his heart, Zhang Laosan was particularly tangled in his work today. He almost looked at Jiujiu for a while, and then looked at Jiujiu for a while. Even if Jiujiu was busy knitting, she felt Zhang Laosan's uneasy gaze.
Jiujiu put down the knitting needle in her hand and looked up at Zhang Laosan. She wondered, "Big Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"
Zhang Laosan looked at Jiujiu's white and clean face. He thought for a while and finally said, "Jiujiu, I won't come tomorrow."
Hearing Zhang Laosan say that he wouldn't come tomorrow, Jiujiu asked in confusion, "Why won't you come? Is it because I didn't pay?"
"No." Zhang Laosan shook his head. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to tell Jiujiu that his biological father had such bad intentions.
Zhang Fugui licked his lips and finally said, "It's not your business. It's my business."
Zhang Fugui almost said to Jiujiu with a dry throat, "I'm old now. I'm at the age of marrying a wife. My father said that he would help me find a suitable partner. It's not good for me to come to you."
Zhang Laosan almost choked when he said this. After he finished speaking, his cheeks were about to burn.
Hearing Zhang Laosan's words, Jiujiu was startled. She looked at Zhang Laosan's back and nodded, "That's also true. I was negligent. I thought …"
Jiujiu paused, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Then, Big Brother Zhang, do you have a girl you like? If you do, please let me know in advance so that I can prepare a gift for sister-in-law in advance. Treat it as a thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."
Hearing that Jiujiu wanted to buy a gift for his future wife, even if Jiujiu didn't say it, Zhang Laosan knew that the gift Jiujiu wanted to buy was definitely expensive.
Zhang Laosan quickly waved his hand, "No need. You've given me so much delicious food during this time. It's enough."
Jiujiu sighed faintly. She looked at Zhang Laosan, who had his back to her, and whispered, "Big Brother Zhang, what do you think of me?"
Suddenly hearing Jiujiu ask him how she was, Zhang Laosan's heart immediately jumped uncontrollably. He almost subconsciously said, "You're very good."
Not only was she good-looking, but she also had a good heart. Most importantly, she was …
What was it? Zhang Laosan didn't even dare to think about it. Because Jiujiu was too good, he became more and more humble. He couldn't think of any bad thoughts. It was as if thinking about it would tarnish Jiujiu.
