Luo Yamei is getting older. Although she bought a sleeper berth, she still didn't have a good rest on the train. When she arrived in the provincial capital, she didn't go directly to Yongning County but stayed one night. Because it was a private matter, she didn't alert anyone in the province.
lead.
Pei Yue went to the post office and called Zhao Kang and said to him: "Tomorrow Aunt Luo will take me to Tian's house to propose marriage. Please let Tian Shao know and let her prepare in advance."
Zhao Kang asked in surprise: "You didn't tell Tian Shao before?"
"I told you, Yuan Jin helped convey it, so I didn't call to inform you."
Zhao Kang asked in confusion: "Who is Yuan Jin?"
"Xiao Shao's bodyguard, protect her safety." Pei Yue said.
Zhao Kang was very perceptive and immediately asked after hearing this: "What did Tian Shao do that the superiors actually sent someone to protect her?"
Although Pei Yue trusted Zhao Kang, Tian Shao did not want too many people to know about it, so it was not easy to tell him: "Because it is not appropriate for the outside world to know about this matter now, and it is not convenient to tell you for the time being."
Zhao Kang was surprised and didn't know what Tian Shao did to reach the confidentiality level, but he knew the rules and didn't continue to ask.
Zhao Kang made a special trip to Tianjiacun for this matter and told Tian Shao about it: "This is a big leader from Sijiu City. You should be treated well!"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Then you can bring more meat and ribs tomorrow, and I will cook some of my specialty dishes for Aunt Luo to eat."
Anyway, everything for the reception is ready, just waiting for the people to arrive. She has met Luo Yamei once and he is a very kind person, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I'll give you ten pounds of meat and ten pounds of ribs tomorrow."
When Li Guihua and Tian Dalin came back from work, Tian Shao told them about Pei Yue's arrival tomorrow: "He should arrive before noon tomorrow."
Tian Dalin is a restless person, so he goes to work with Li Guihua when he doesn't have to go to school during the holidays. He also gets work points when he works in the fields, and they are all credited to Li Guihua.
“No matter how fast we take the bus from the provincial capital to the county, it’s still around three or four in the afternoon!”
Tian Shao said: "You're talking about taking a shuttle bus. Aunt Luo came all the way to propose marriage, and Pei Yue must have arranged a car. Mom, I don't know how many people are coming, let's prepare two tables of dishes! By then,
I invited my uncle over for dinner."
Tian Dalin had no objection. After the matter was finalized, Li Guihua went to ask for leave from the captain.
The family got busy the next day, because the division of labor was clear and well-organized. When the couple went outside with chickens and ducks, someone saw them and asked, "What happy event is there today?"
Li Guihua said with a smile on her face: "Today, Xiao Pei's aunt came to propose marriage. She must not be treated well."
Because Pei Yue's family settled on the marriage without coming to propose marriage, someone in the village secretly spread a rumor that Pei Yue's family thought the Tian family was all daughters, and they were afraid that she would have daughters in the future and would not agree to the marriage. The rumor spread, and Li Guihua was very angry.
no.
To say that the person who spread the rumors is heart-breaking. Tian Shao is beautiful and is still a Beijing University student with a bright future. She is impeccable, so she started with Li Guihua. Nowadays, many people are superstitious and believe that the daughter's physical constitution will follow the mother's, and the mother will not be able to give birth to a child.
Son, that daughter is also destined to give birth to a girl.
The villagers asked in surprise: "The day after tomorrow is not Daya's engagement day, so why are you proposing marriage now?"
Li Guihua explained with a smile: "His uncle and aunt are both senior cadres in Forty-Nine City and are very busy on weekdays. Xiao Pei didn't want to trouble them at first, but when they found out, they scolded Xiao Pei and said it was too rude.
He said he would make up for all the gifts."
She knew it was Pei Yue's leader, but it was too troublesome to explain, so she vaguely said it was Aunt Pei Yue.
If you put it this way, the villagers would understand.
At half past eleven, Luo Yamei and Pei Yue drove directly to Tianjiacun. Cars are a rarity in such a backward mountain village. As soon as the car stopped, children who were playing next to them swarmed up.
Pei Yue didn't care and called the driver and bodyguard to carry the gifts and went to Tian's house with Luo Yamei.
When Li Guihua and Tian Dalin heard that Pei Yue was coming, they immediately took the three little ones out to greet them. On a day like today, in order not to be rude, Li Guihua and Tian Dalin endured their heartache and put on the new clothes Tian Shao bought for them. The three little ones
The new clothes that Zhiye wore were made for them by Sanya two months ago.
Neighbors had already stood in front of Tian's house to watch the excitement, but Luo Yamei still recognized Tian Dalin and Li Guihua at first sight. The reason was also very simple, Tian Shao and the two still had some similarities.
Luo Yamei stepped forward, held Li Guihua's hand and said apologetically: "My dear, I'm so sorry. This kid Pei Yue is so incompetent. He dared to go through with such a big deal vaguely. It's a shame.
You were too generous to argue with him, otherwise he would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life."
Li Guihua knew her true identity, so she would not blame Pei Yue: "No, no, Xiao Pei is a hard-working and capable kid. His father and I like him very much. Although the engagement is a bit unethical, his father is not like that.
Method."
Luo Yamei smiled and praised: "This kid is just lucky to meet such a good girl like Xiao Shao and such a reasonable father-in-law and mother-in-law like you."
After knowing this, she asked Liao Buda why the old chief did not let Pei Yue recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. It would be understandable if Pei Yue couldn't support him and rejected him, but this child was so good that Tan recognized him.
Luo Yamei really couldn't understand that the old chief never acknowledged her even though her family was so glorious. Unfortunately, Liao Buda didn't know either.
Seeing the two of them praising each other, Tian Shao hurriedly said: "Father, mother, Aunt Luo, let's go into the house and talk!"
After entering, Luo Yamei saw the spacious yard and suddenly understood why Tian Shao liked bungalows. After living in such a big house for a long time, she would not be used to living in a building.
Pei Yue's aunt came to propose marriage in a car, which soon caused a sensation in the whole village. After hearing this, many people ran to the entrance of the village to see the car. Several people were chatting there, guessing about Luo Yamei's identity.
An elderly woman asked the daughter-in-law of former brigade captain Tian Xibei: "You have seen the big world, how can you afford to ride in a small car?"
Tian Xibei's wife shook her head and said: "I don't know, but the top leaders in our county only have jeeps and no cars like this. They are at least high-ranking cadres at the level of district chiefs. Da Ya has such a vicious vision and found such a good family.
"
One of the onlookers was Tian Shao's aunt. When she heard this, she was not happy and said loudly: "Northwestern daughter-in-law, my eldest daughter is good in appearance and ability. If Xiao Pei can marry eldest daughter, that's it."
His blessing."
Tian Xibei's daughter-in-law glanced at the other party and retorted rudely: "When Dalinzi was poor, you laughed at Guihua Huan for not having a son, and said that Dalinzi's branch would be cut off. Why, these
Have you forgotten?"
The aunt didn't expect that she would suddenly go back on her previous account. Those words were indeed what she said, and she didn't dare to make any noise and go home in despair.
