Zhang Miaomiao replied, "I'm here to buy something." Glancing at the counter, Zhang Miaomiao asked Yang Wenfang to get four toothbrushes and a tube of cold acid toothpaste. Under Yang Wenfang's guidance, Zhang Miaocao bought a pair of Jiefang sneakers from the cloth counter.
"You're only buying for Miao Cao? Aren't you afraid that Aunt will vent her anger on Miao Cao? "Yang Wenfang knew Chen Xiuzhen well. Seeing Zhang Miaomiao's purchases, she immediately asked.
Zhang Miaomiao frowned. She thought for a while and bought a pair of Jiefang sneakers for her parents, spending a total of fifteen yuan.
Yang Wenfang saw Zhang Miaomiao's generosity and teased, "Third cousin, are you rich?"
Zhang Miaomiao replied, "I'm not as rich as you."
The two sisters immediately started to argue. After teasing each other for a while, Yang Wenfang suddenly said, "Are you free on the ninth of next month? Come and help me at the counter. I'm going to the county to take our wedding photos with your cousin-in-law. "
"Cousin-in-law's vacation is so long this time?" Cousin-in-law was a soldier, and his vacation was always interrupted. Her cousin complained about this a lot.
"Sigh, it's only this time. Including the wedding leave, it's only two months." Yang Wenfang said with a hint of reluctance.
"Cousin-in-law is a battalion commander, right? Why don't you apply to follow the army?" Speaking of this, Zhang Miaomiao was puzzled. "You can do your business anywhere."
"You think I don't want to? They've reached their quota this year, and they'll apply next year. "
"It's almost the end of July. Next year will be here in the blink of an eye." Zhang Miaomiao persuaded.
Yang Wenfang glanced at Zhang Miaomiao indifferently. "You don't know that when lovers are together, they complain that it's too short, and when they're apart, they complain that it's too long. It'll be hard to endure in the future."
Zhang Miaomiao was caught off guard. Her heart choked and she said coldly, "Cousin, don't you want me to help you next month? How dare you show off your love in front of someone who just broke up with me. "
Yang Wenfang immediately hugged Zhang Miaomiao's arm, "Sanya, my good cousin. I was wrong. " The sincerity of the apology was not enough. Yang Wenfang's eyes flashed with the light of gossip as she asked, "Miao Miao, what's going on? I heard that Eldest Aunt has been acting up for many days. Did you abandon the son of the political commissar? "
"It seems that you really don't want to take pictures," Zhang Miaomiao threatened.
"My dear cousin, I actually approve of your breakup. When my aunt came back last year, she said that the man was handsome and was from a government official's family. At that time, I thought that it would be difficult for us to get along with each other in the future. It's better for you to split up. Let's find a family of the same social status, and it'll be worthwhile for us. If you feel wronged in the future, I can also support you. "
"You know that I broke up, but you still show off your love?" Zhang Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and said deliberately. But she was very touched in her heart. Although her cousin had been living a more realistic life, it was real. The phrase "a family of the same social status" was really the true meaning of a marriage.
"My cousin is talented and beautiful. You won't have to worry about young men pursuing you." Yang Wenfang teased. But when she said that, she suddenly thought of Qiao Chengguang, who worked in the county's family planning committee. Thinking that Qiao Chengguang was also quite good-looking, she immediately grabbed Zhang Miaomiao and asked, "Cousin, someone in our village has been asking about you. Are you interested in finding out more?"
Zhang Miaomiao graduated from university at the age of 23. In the village, people who were the same age as Zhang Miaomiao were already mothers of a few children. Although she was not interested in dating now, Zhang Miaomiao knew that it was time for her to date someone. So she asked, "Who is that person?"
Seeing that Zhang Miaomiao was really interested, Yang Wenfang immediately said, "He works in the county's family planning committee. His name is …"
"Cousin, stop it." Zhang Miaomiao immediately interrupted Yang Wenfang when she heard that she worked in the family planning committee.
Yang Wenfang was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"I don't like working in the family planning committee."
Yang Wenfang chuckled. "You're discriminating against me because of your job?"
"The way they do things is really too inhumane. There was a woman in our village who was almost eight months pregnant. Her child was aborted. I heard that it was a boy, and the whole family cried. "
"Don't you hate the patriarchal society?"
"It's one thing to hate the patriarchal society. But a woman who was eight months pregnant was a life. She was drugged to death. It's so wicked. I don't like it. "
Yang Wenfang thought to herself, "She works in the county's family planning committee. But seeing that Zhang Miaomiao was very resistant, she didn't continue the topic.
Zhang Miaomiao chatted with Yang Wenfang for a while longer before she went home with her things.
But when she arrived at the door, she saw a group of people surrounding her house.
Zhang Miaomiao walked through the crowd and saw Qin Shan, Grandma Qin, and the old secretary of the village sitting in the courtyard. Her mother, Chen Xiuzhen, was furious, but she couldn't see her father's expression.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at Zhang Miaomiao when they saw her.
Qin Shan smiled at Zhang Miaomiao, revealing his white teeth. "Young Vegetable Seedling is back."
Grandma Qin slapped the back of Qin Shan's head. "What nonsense are you talking about?" Grandma Qin said to Zhang Miaomiao. "Miao Miao is back from the market?"
Zhang Miaomiao was annoyed that Qin Shan always teased her and gave her a random name. But for the sake of Miss Xia, she still tolerated him. As for Grandma Qin, Zhang Miaomiao didn't dislike her. Seeing the old lady ask her, Zhang Miaomiao still responded politely.
"Third girl, hurry up and get into the house." Chen Xiuzhen shouted at Zhang Miaomiao unhappily. But she was a little nervous. Things had not been settled yet, and she was worried that something might happen to Zhang Miaomiao. So she wanted to drive Zhang Miaomiao back to her room.
Zhang Miaomiao looked at the people in the courtyard indifferently. Thinking that she also had something to put in the house, she didn't say anything and went into the house according to Chen Xiuzhen's words.
Qin Shan saw that Chen Xiuzhen treated Zhang Miaomiao like that, and his face darkened.
Grandma Qin saw that this little brat dared to show displeasure to Chen Xiuzhen, and she immediately pinched his hand. She signaled Qin Shan to restrain himself with her eyes.
Qin Shan thought that Chen Xiuzhen was Zhang Miaomiao's mother after all, and he had to restrain his anger before things were settled, lest Chen Xiuzhen disliked him and disagreed with him. Thinking of this, Qin Shan's expression slowly eased.
Zhang Miaomiao entered her room, and Zhang Miaocao, who was leaning on the window, hurriedly ran over and pulled Zhang Miaomiao's hand excitedly. "Third Sister, Third Sister, Old Secretary is here to arrange a marriage for you."
"Arrange a marriage?" Zhang Miaomiao frowned and asked in disbelief, "Who do you think Old Secretary is going to arrange a marriage for?"
"Third Sister, it's for you."
Zhang Miaomiao thought of Qin Shan and Grandma Qin in the yard. Could the groom be related to them? Zhang Miaomiao asked again, "Where is the groom from?"
Zhang Miaocao said, "Third Sister, don't be angry when I tell you."
"…" Zhang Miaomiao was speechless.
"It's Qin Shan. Your junior high teacher's son is here to propose marriage. "Zhang Miaocao squinted his eyes and said. Zhang Miaocao also knew that Qin Shan was a gangster in the town and the county, and he was said to be doing business at the bus station. Zhang Miaocao thought that such a person was not good enough for his Third Sister. He did not know where Qin Shan got the courage to come here directly.
Zhang Miaomiao was so shocked that he could not close his mouth. She thought that she had heard wrong and repeated, "Did you say Qin Shan?"
Was he really the Qin Shan that she knew? She had met him in Miss Xia's office when she was in junior high. He was always pulling her braids or giving her weird names. Now, she met the Qin Shan who still teased her.
Zhang Miaocao nodded. "Mom was very angry when Old Secretary said that he would be a matchmaker for Qin Shan. But when she heard that Qin Shan could take out a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift, she stopped talking."
Zhang Miaomiao lifted the curtain and looked outside, but she did not expect to meet Qin Shan's bright eyes. When he saw her, he grinned at Zhang Miaomiao, revealing his white teeth.
Zhang Miaomiao said fiercely, "What tricks are you playing now?"
