Li Qingyun didn't want to tell the villagers how much to pay the workers, for this reason, because he was afraid that relatives and neighbors would want to enter the farm. However, there is a high possibility that the farm will be expanded next year, and a lot of people will need to be added, and he does not care about these three or two people from the same family.
After hearing Li Qingyun's answer, the sixth aunt was very happy. She kept talking about Li Qingyun's good qualities. She also praised Mao Dan a few words and said that he was promising. If he followed Li Qingyun and worked hard, he would marry a wife and have children in the future, and he would definitely live a prosperous life.
Fire, happiness and contentment.
Li Qingyun was very happy to hear this. Who said Aunt Six couldn't talk? No, when she was happy, she could talk more smoothly than anything else.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the shadow of Nanwang Tower could already be seen. Aunt Six began to tell Mao Dan what to pay attention to. Don't be stingy about giving up cigarettes, say polite words, be sweeter, and remember to call people... And Mao Dan had already unzipped his down jacket.
, revealing the suit underneath.
Mao Dan took out a box of Jiaozi cigarettes and opened them. He rummaged through his pockets but couldn't find a lighter: "Huh? I obviously put them in my pocket today, why can't I find them? I don't usually smoke. I don't have a habit.
The habit of carrying a lighter with you..."
Li Qingyun glanced at the white Jiaozi in his hand. This was sold locally for ten yuan a pack. It was considered a good cigarette. After all, people in the village usually only smoked cigarettes worth three and a half yuan. Ten yuan was considered a high-end cigarette for work.
Cigarettes.
"Don't worry, I have a few lighters and a few packs of cigarettes in the glove box of my car. They are all ready. When you get off the car later, you can choose a lighter and bring an extra pack of cigarettes. Others have too many cigarettes."
Li Qingyun doesn't smoke either, but when Wang Chao, Tian Mu and others come to eat, he usually brings two boxes of wine and two good cigarettes. He always keeps a few boxes in the car. If he encounters a traffic policeman checking the car and there is a small problem, he just throws two boxes of wine and two good cigarettes.
A pack of cigarettes will solve the problem.
After Mao Dan heard this, he felt relieved and said that he had no experience in blind dates. He was already nervous. He said that if he didn't have enough cigarettes, he could buy more, but if he said the wrong thing, would the woman scold him?
Then he added: "By the way. When I introduce myself, should I tell the other party my first name, Li Xuejun, or my nickname, Mao Dan?"
This question stunned Li Qingyun and Aunt Six. No one had considered this issue before coming here. Moreover, they were used to it, and Li Qingyun almost forgot the name of Mao Dan.
"Maodan...well, it's a bit unsightly to call yourself Maodan in front of a girl, so let's call yourself Li Xuejun." Li Qingyun thought for a moment and suggested.
As he said that, the car went up a slope, and the terrain in front of him became flat. A few hundred meters ahead, there were two large piles of stones. You can still see the traces of the fortifications, on both sides of the village road, one on the left and one on the right.
It is four to five meters high. It is said that a wooden shed was built on it in the past, which can accommodate four people. The height is close to ten meters.
Li Qingyun parked the car at the entrance of the village. He opened the glove box, took out a lighter, and threw it to Mao Dan. There were three packs of cigarettes in it, one opened and two unopened. They were from Purple Box Tianjiao. Retail price was 1
One hundred boxes.
This kind of cigarette is rare in the town, and most people don’t know it, let alone the price. It’s a waste to take it out to smoke. But this is when the brothers are doing business, and Li Qingyun doesn’t care about this thing. He stuffed two unopened cigarettes into it.
Don’t be stingy about the pockets of Mao Dan’s down jacket, and let others smoke when you see them.
"I, the driver, won't go in. It's hard to turn around inside. Just park the car at the entrance of the village. Brother, I wish you good luck." After getting out of the car, Li Qingyun patted Mao Dan on the shoulder and said.
"Well, I will try my best." Mao Dan was very excited and nervous. He slipped and almost fell down.
When Aunt Six saw people coming out of the village to watch the fun, she immediately said: "Be careful, if you fall down, it will be a big joke. I will introduce it to you later, and you can shout whatever I tell you."
.Not only men smoke in this village, there are also women who smoke. If I ask you to let me smoke, just let me smoke. Don’t hesitate."
After not walking far, they turned right and entered a small alley. People in the village who came to watch the excitement did not meet Mao Dan, so they had to walk a few steps further to the entrance of the village to see the pickup truck driven by Li Qingyun.
"Good guy, this boy came on a blind date, and he actually drove here. His family is rich. His aunt, do you know whose house he is going to?" A man in the village asked the person next to him in a low voice.
A middle-aged woman replied: "If you turn into that alley, you must be heading towards Xiao Min's house. The girl is so delicate, and there were several matchmakers when she came back. Two came yesterday, and one came this morning.
I haven't left yet, but here comes another one."
This is what matchmaking is like in rural areas. It is possible for a beautiful girl to have ten men come to her door in a day. Li Qingyun only had a blind date once, that is with Tang Yuelian. The reason why Tang Yuelian was so arrogant was that when she came back for a blind date, at most twenty men came to her door in a day.
He was quite famous in their little Tangzhuang. However, he later married Chen Ergou and made a lot of jokes. First, Chen Ergou had no money.
Li Qingyun was bored, so he took out most of the box of cigarettes in the car and gave them to the villagers who gathered around to see the hot spot. While giving the cigarettes, he smiled and said: "Uncle and aunt, what's going on? I came with my brother on a blind date, and this girl's family is
Are you easy to get along with?"
The men who received the cigarette immediately lit a fire, took a nice puff, and praised: "Well, this cigarette smokes well. It looks like a good cigarette smoked by city people. Where do you come from? Who gave it to your brother?"
To whom to introduce?”
Li Qingyun hurriedly replied with a few sentences in the strong dialect of his family: "We are not from the city, we are not from outside, we are from Lijiazhai. The one who walked in front just now is the matchmaker, my sixth aunt, her natal family is from your Nanwang Tower
.”
Hearing Li Qingyun's accent, the young and old men next to him suddenly became enthusiastic and laughed: "It turns out they are from Lijiazhai. I thought they were from the county. You Lijiazhai did a good job this year and built roads.
, the phone and Internet cables were connected, and I heard that several farms and several hotels have been built. We just came back from work this year and haven’t had the chance to go there to see it yet.”
"Nothing has changed. There are just a few more bamboo buildings. When uncles and aunts have time, you can go there and have a look. My family lives at the south end of the village. If you are tired, you can come to my house to rest and drink a cup of hot tea." Li Qingyun said enthusiastically.
said.
This friendship was not in vain. After we got to know each other better, we soon found out about the situation of Mao Dan’s blind date. The girl’s name was Xiao Min. She was quite pretty. She often worked in other places. She dressed more fashionably than she had ever seen before.
The worldly girl has a more "urban flavor". There is a brother above her who works in the same factory as her, and he is in strict control, and there is no gossip.
About half an hour before Mao Dan arrived, a young man riding a motorcycle came and brought a matchmaker into Xiao Min's house. They must have been on a blind date. Maybe Mao Dan and the young man had already met.
The local folk customs are fierce, and fights between competitors often occur. Although they are more civilized and have more legal awareness now, petty fights are still inevitable.
Li Qingyun couldn't be anxious about this, so he could only say good things to Mao Dan from the side, saying that he could endure hardship, be smart, and capable... Working at Lijiazhai Farm, the salary was very high, and the boss valued him very much, earning four to five thousand a month.
Once the marriage is settled, we will build a house in the spring, and it will be a building.
When the uncles and aunts next to him heard this, they were immediately envious, saying that this young man had capital, was so tall, and was not bad looking. As long as the woman saw eye to eye, the marriage would be a success. Because he was rich, and the woman asked for a bride price.
It's not a problem at all, so why worry about it? You can choose to say, if this one doesn't work, you can talk to other families. At that time, two aunts said that their niece was nineteen this year and she was pretty good. If today's marriage was about to happen,
If not, she can help introduce it.
Li Qingyun quickly thanked him and said that he let his aunt worry about it. After a while, his brother came out and asked him about the situation. If it doesn't work, I will drive to your niece's house immediately. The business is settled. Not only will there be red carp to eat, but also a big red envelope will be given.
As soon as this was promised, several women nearby were eager to give it a try, and they all said that they had familiar girls of marriageable age and could help introduce them.
Good guy, Li Qingyun just realized that he usually ignored his brother's marriage matters. Marriage is quite easy to introduce. Look, after just chatting for a while, there are six or seven aunts willing to help introduce partners.
However, two children who ran to watch the fun suddenly came back, shouting excitedly.
"Mom, go to Xiao Min's house and watch the excitement. Two men who came for a blind date are fighting."
"Second uncle, come and see, there is a fight, the nose is bleeding..."
On this snowy day, everyone was so idle. When they heard that there was a lot of fun, they immediately followed. Li Qingyun locked the car and followed anxiously. The man Maodan was a bit thin. Although he was not weak, but the town would
There are many young people who are good at boxing and kicking, so I am afraid that he will suffer a loss.
When Li Qingyun ran over, he saw two or three villagers standing in the small fenced yard of Xiao Min's house watching the fun. Mao Dan was fighting with a sturdy young man with a crew cut. Both noses were bleeding. It looked like they were beaten.
It was a tie.
At this time, the young man with a flat head scolded angrily: "Little turtle grandson, what are you pretending to be? Why didn't you take out the good cigarettes earlier and make me embarrassed?"
Mao Dan spat out blood-stained spit and said in defense and rebuttal: "You are too arrogant. I let Jiaozi smoke, but you said it was shameful and let everyone smoke your soft jade stream. I don't smoke.
, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad. When I saw Da Yan taking your cigarettes, I was too embarrassed to let him go. After a while, I remembered that my brother had stuffed two packs of good cigarettes into my coat pocket, so I opened them.
Open a pack and give it to everyone... You are still talking about cigarettes, can my brother give me cigarettes? I just contradicted you and said that the cigarettes are good and bad, it is all my intention, just right
The guy sitting inside recognized my cigarette and said it was a good cigarette and it cost 100 yuan a pack. The boss of his factory smoked this cigarette. So you turned your back on me and scolded me, saying I was faking?
I called him out and said he wanted to practice alone?"
When Li Qingyun heard this, he was immediately depressed. He kindly gave Mao Dan two packs of good cigarettes to help him. Looking at the young man with a flat head, he felt even more disgusted. It's okay if you don't have a good blind date, but you are still fighting at the woman's house. If you cause trouble,
I'm going to deal with you because you ruined Mao Dan's good deeds.
