"How old are you two boys, and you still want to compete with me? Just wait a few more years!" Chen Zian laughed heartily, and his hands were not slow at all.
Su Jiujiu and Accountant Li both wanted to come forward and say hello to Chen Zian. It took a lot of effort to get such a big leader here. How could they not fawn over him?
Who would have known that this leader was so approachable that he could even stand on a tree in a blink of an eye.
They could only look up with their necks raised.
"Minister Chen, you are a guest, how can I let you pick pears? Come down quickly!" Accountant Li said flatteringly, his eyes rolling.
"Why, I'm such a big man and can't even pick a fruit?" Chen Zian said in disgust.
I just happened to catch it today, and I don’t have to look for other reasons to show my presence in front of my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. What a great thing!
This accountant Li is really indifferent.
How did Accountant Li know that Chen Zian was trying to please his future mother-in-law?
He was really worried about what he would do if his leader fell from the tree?
Su Jiujiu was really baffled by Chen Zian's behavior. This master was not a good-tempered master. Why was he so down-to-earth?
He looked thoughtfully at the Su family, and they also looked confused.
Although Chen Zian is a leader, he has to be praised for his quick hands and feet. He can pick fruits as fast as two or three people by himself.
Several men in the Su family refused to admit defeat and felt that they could not be compared to a city man.
After looking at each other, several people in the Su family also held their breath and picked fruits faster.
Su Manxiu, a capable person, helped under the tree, and the old Su family picked the tree the fastest.
"Be careful, don't just try to be quick." Grandma Su shouted worriedly.
"Mom, I got it, don't worry, it's not the first year we've climbed the tree." Su Laosan replied in a loud voice, not slow in his movements.
Soon, the fruits on the trees were piled on the ground like a hill.
At this time, other people's trees still had less than half of the fruits that had not been picked, but the old Su family had already finished its harvest.
The other members and comrades looked on with envy.
"This is the benefit of having more sons!" Mrs. Chang said with emotion: "Don't blame me for always thinking about having a grandson. Look at the old Su family, how good would it be to have more grandsons?"
The Chang family's daughters-in-law didn't say anything, but they were still envious in their hearts.
As he was talking, he saw people from the old Su family climbing down from the tree.
"Let's help the educated youth pick the fruits from the tree!" Grandma Su said cheerfully as she saw the fruitful results.
These two educated youth comrades are teachers in the school, and their children are all in school.
Doing this is also a way of showing off to them.
The female teacher looked at the tall and handsome Chen Zian, and heard that he was the leader of the county. She blushed and secretly glanced at him from time to time.
Just taking one look at it makes me feel like a deer bumping into each other.
The female teacher's name is Sang Chunlan, and she is a girl from a big city.
She is also considered a knowledgeable person, but now she feels that she has never seen such a handsome and tall man even in a big city.
The most important thing is that the tall and handsome man in front of me is also a leader.
As a leader, he can still be so approachable, which shows that he is a gentle and considerate person.
She just didn't know if he had a family yet. It would be great if he didn't have a family yet. She said he might not have a chance.
Sang Chunlan has been an educated youth in the Red Heart Brigade for six or seven years. She was sixteen when she came here and is now a twenty-three-year-old girl.
Marriage is the most important thing right now.
There were also matchmakers in the brigade, but she didn't want to stay in the countryside like this all her life, so she had no choice but to refuse.
She thought about returning to the city one day, but as time passed, she felt that the hope of returning to the city was getting slimmer.
She desperately hoped to find someone who would let her return to the city, and Chen Zian's appearance made her see this possibility.
Kang Yiye on the other side looked at Chen Zian with stars in his eyes.
Such a handsome man could outshine everyone in the entire team. If something could happen with such a man, she would be satisfied.
To be honest, the men in the brigade were very smelly. If it wasn't for the benefit, she really didn't want to get involved with such men.
No, she must hook up with the man in front of her. If she can hook up with this man, she will be safe for the rest of her life.
Kang Yiye's eyes flickered and he kept looking in the direction of the old Su family.
Chen Zian's heart and eyes were all focused on Su Manxiu, and he didn't pay attention to anyone else at all.
Little did she know that there were already two female educated youths who had unwanted thoughts about her.
And Su Xiaotian is also observing Su Manxiu and Chen Zian.
She felt that the two people's visit this time was different from before.
Especially Chen Zian looked at Su Manxiu with deep affection in his eyes.
Something definitely happened between these two people. Don't ask her why she knows so much at such a young age, because she already knew it in her previous life.
Su Xiaotian asked Lao Lishu, but Lao Lishu didn't know anything.
It is well-informed, but as a tree, it really doesn’t understand human feelings!
Su Xiaotian was speechless.
The Su family picked two pears. It was still early and there was still some time before the sun set.
Since today's tasks were assigned according to the assignment, Su Jiujiu could not let people from the old Su family do the work for others. He simply asked the people from the Su family to go home and greet Minister Chen.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su took Chen Zian and Su Manxiu home first.
Others in the family are still helping in the pear garden.
Su Jiujiu also agreed with this.
Everyone working together and helping each other is a positive attitude.
But after all, Minister Chen is the leader of the county. They don't have the face to ask the leaders to help the people in the brigade pick fruits.
Chen Zian took down a lot of gifts from the car, including tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, all in double portions. In addition, there were pastries, dried fruits and the like.
Both of his hands were covered with various items.
Grandma Su said with a smile: "My Xiu'er has troubled Minister Chen during this period. We are already very sorry. How can we still accept these things from Minister Chen? Take them back quickly. They are all gold and precious things, which are not something people like us can enjoy.
of."
Grandma Su is truly grateful to Chen Zian.
Can you not thank me? If Chen Zian hadn't brought Su Manxiu to the city, how much pressure would Su Manxiu have to bear if he stayed at home?
Chen Zian shook his head resolutely, but because he was still outside, he didn't say much. He just followed the old Su family home firmly.
Seeing that Chen Zian refused to listen, Grandma Su could only ask Su Manxiu to help carry the things.
Chen Zian still refused and insisted on carrying a lot of items.
All the way to the hall of the old Su family.
Grandpa Su repeatedly asked Chen Zian to sit down, but Chen Zian refused.
He placed the gifts he had brought on the table in the main room and stood in front of the two elders in a dignified manner.
"Minister Chen, what are you doing today?" Grandma Su asked.
Could it be that they still want their family members to help with something?
"Minister Chen, if you have something to do, just ask. Whatever the old man can do, he will definitely do it."
"Auntie, I came here today because I have something to tell you, my elder brother. You, my elder brother, must accept these gifts no matter what. Otherwise, I dare not speak."
Well, the word "dare not" is true. Chen Zian never thought that he would be so cowardly in his life.
Grandpa Su looked at Chen Zian and said nothing.
Grandma Su looked at Chen Zian and then at Su Manxiu, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
Could it be that Chen Zian did something to offend Su Manxiu? Did he bring disaster to the baby Manxiu?
Don't blame Grandma Su for not wanting the two of them to be in love. The main reason is that Chen Zian is too good, and her daughter is divorced and cannot have children.
In Grandma Su's view, except for those whose wives have died and have children, most men would not look down on such a person.
"Xiu'er, what's wrong with you two?" Grandma Su's voice trembled slightly.
It is already very difficult for a daughter to be divorced, but it will be even more difficult if she is brought into trouble again.
She couldn't even help but wipe her tears, she was such a miserable girl.
If I had known earlier, I would have let this baby stay at home, which would have been better than this!
"Mom, it's nothing, no, it's not, it's just something!" Su Manxiu said incoherently.
This is the first time she has said this. When she married Wang Gouzi, her family did not ask for her opinion, let alone the need to speak out about the marriage herself.
Chen Zian calmly pulled Su Manxiu and said, "Uncle, aunt, I brought Xiu'er here today to ask you to marry Xiu'er to me."
What?
The old cigarette in Grandpa Su's hand fell to the ground. Grandma Su wiped away half of her tears and forgot what to do next.
"What did you say? Minister Chen?"
"I want to ask Xiu'er, the second veteran general, to marry me!" Chen Zian said again, his tone was very steady and not at all frivolous.
Grandma Su thought about it and thought about it, feeling that she might have heard wrong.
This is impossible. How can a mother like her know what her daughter’s condition is?
Grandpa Su finally came to his senses and said directly: "We can't agree!"
Chen Zian didn't expect that Grandpa Su would refuse directly.
Isn't he good enough? They can even like people like Wang Gouzi, so why don't they look down on themselves?
Chen Zian felt that he had been hit. Anyway, he felt that he was much stronger than Wang Gouzi, right?
"Uncle, if there is anything wrong with me, tell me and I will correct it!" Chen Zian said very sincerely.
"Qi Da Fei Ou!"
Grandma Su finally came to her senses. No wonder Chen Zian came in and got a different gift than before. There was no shortage of four-color gifts, and there was still double.
It turned out that he was here to propose marriage in such a solemn manner.
But why would a talent like Chen Zian be interested in his own daughter who wants nothing?
"Minister Chen, we are just farmers. Xiu'er has been married and divorced. She is not worthy of Minister Chen."
Although Grandma Su wanted her daughter to find another family to live a good life, she never thought about finding someone like this.
"She is worthy of her. Xiu'er is diligent, honest and kind, and is more than worthy of me."
In Chen Zian's mind, Su Manxiu is a perfect woman!
Grandma Su wanted to say that no matter how good she was, she couldn't have a baby, but she couldn't say this in front of her daughter.
As a mother, who can bear to stab a daughter in the heart?
"Minister Chen, you need to be a match for a marriage!" Grandpa Su said: "Our old Su family appreciates your kindness, but our daughter cannot marry. From now on, Xiu'er will not go to the county town anymore, so she will stay at home!"
Su Manxiu was dumbfounded. Her father was so opposed to not letting her work in the county?
During this time in the city, she felt quite at home, and felt that she could finally live like a human being for one day in her life.
"Dad!" Su Manxiu shouted hurriedly.
"Xiu'er, dad is doing this for your own good."
Grandpa Su took a deep look at his daughter, hoping that her daughter was not confused, could understand his feelings, and not be resentful of him as a father because he refused the marriage.
"Uncle, aunt, I know what you are worried about. I have also discussed this issue with Xiu'er. It doesn't matter if you don't have children. As long as the two of us can support you for the rest of our lives, our life will be enough." Chen Zian looked at it affectionately.
Su Manxiu said with a glance.
"If Xiu'er likes the child, we can adopt one in two years. If Xiu'er doesn't like it, it's just the two of us, and I don't have any problem with it."
"Uncle, our family did have some family background in the past, but times have changed. Those things have passed. I lost my parents when I was a teenager. I joined the army and followed the old leader all the time. My family background is innocent, and our family's family background is also different.
Not worthy."
"The most important thing is that I like Xiu'er as a person. I feel sorry for her that she suffered so much in the past. I just want to take good care of her in the future and let her live a stable life."
"You are still young and don't know the importance. Once you get married, it will be too late to regret it!" Grandma Su said, wiping away tears.
Manxiu has already been divorced once. If she gets divorced again, there will really be no way to survive.
This society is deeply hostile to women, and she knows it all too well.
"I am thirty-four this year, and Xiu'er is twenty-nine. We are not young anymore. Auntie, I have already thought about everything you said."
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were silent. They didn't know whether they should believe Chen Zian.
After all, they never imagined that such a day would come.
When the rest of the Su family came back, they saw this scene.
For a moment, everyone in the Su family was stunned in the yard, not knowing what to say.
Is Chen Zian here to propose marriage?
A big leader wants to propose marriage to Su Manxiu, a divorced woman who cannot have children?
This is impossible no matter how you think about it!
The most important thing is that not only the Su family is back, but also several people are back with the Su family.
Among them were Su Jiujiu, Accountant Li, and two teachers from the school.
Su Jiujiu and Accountant Li are the leaders of the brigade, so of course they have to get closer to the leader.
But the arrival of the two teachers was a little strange.
However, when the four outsiders heard what Chen Zian said, they were unable to advance or retreat for a moment.
Sang Chunlan looked even pale. She came to Su's house mainly to ask Grandma Su for help in asking what Chen Zian meant.
She fell in love with Chen Zian and hoped to get a chance for herself.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Chen Zian's words and his face turned red immediately.
Chen Zian does not have a wife, but he is attracted to Su Manxiu.
The female teacher looked at Su Manxiu and didn't know what she was feeling.
Su Manxiu is a divorced woman who cannot have children yet. Why does such an outstanding man as Chen Zian fall in love with her?
