Chen Guozhong and Lai Baoqing in the hall were still discussing the affairs of Ma Hua and Chen Dongliang, the two children, and Chen Guozhong didn't expect that Lai Baoqing would say every word in his heart tonight. He nodded at Lai Baoqing from time to time, and said yes as if dreaming. He even felt that he was like a fool in front of Lai Baoqing tonight, and his brain didn't turn in circles.

Lai Baoqing knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand on the bench under his buttocks a few times and then put it in his mouth and blew it, and the pipe of the cigarette pouch was blown by him, so he put the cigarette pouch in his pocket, and then coughed with a clear throat, and said: "Later, the kid from Dongliang will come back, let's talk to him about this in front of him, and see what he thinks." ”

"We can't figure out what the child thinks. Chen Guozhong smiled and said.

"We can't touch it before we talk to him. If we can touch it, we don't need to talk to him, we can just make a decision. Lai Baoqing looked at Chen Guozhong, and said in a heavy voice, "It's what he thinks, let's knock and knock together tonight, and it will be done!"

Chen Guozhong stood up, took out the foreign oil lamp that had been used for many years from the room inside and put it on the square table of the door, and lit the lamp with a bang.

Chen Guozhong shook the foreign fire pole in his hand a few times in front of him, and shook it to extinguish the fire, before he threw the foreign fire pole in his hand to the ground, and then took a step back to sit down on the bench where he was sitting just now, turned his head to look at Lai Baoqing and said: "The child's mind is different from what we estimate. This kid in my family doesn't want to talk all day long, what he's thinking in his heart, and we can't figure it out. Sometimes we ask him about it, and he always says he doesn't think about anything. ”

"I also think that this child is different from other children. Other children, if they have any thoughts, they always like to show off to adults, and they can't hold back their words in their stomachs. The child of your family does not play with other children on weekdays, even when they are together, they don't see him crazy with other children, but they see him standing alone and watching other children play. This kid has a lot of heart, don't look at him and don't like to talk, he must have a lot of eyes. Lai Baoqing pondered.

"What kind of heart can he have, he is like a stuffy gourd all day long. Chen Guozhong responded to Lai Baoqing with a smile.

"What's the saying? It's called ......," Lai Baoqing scratched his scalp and thought, "It's called...... , yes, it's called 'look up at the mother-in-law Qin Tou Han, don't work and eat'. You see the pillars of your family, you don't talk all day long, you walk with your head forward, that is, you have a lot of thoughts, a lot of hearts, and a lot of hearts. ”

"He's a fool, and he doesn't have a word when he sees people. ”

"Not to mention, Dongliang's kid is very good, although he doesn't like to talk, he will say hello when he sees the old and young masters, he should call his aunt his aunt, and he should call his uncle uncle. Lai Baoqing nodded and said, "It's quite polite." ”

Seeing Lai Baoqing commenting on his son like this, Chen Guozhong's heart was as moisturizing and sweet as pouring honey water.

"At this point, the other children in the village are not as good as the pillars of your family. Lai Baoqing still continued his own words, "This is also how well you two are often trained." ”

"On weekdays, the two of us haven't lectured him much. Chen Guozhong said with a smile.

While Chen Guozhong and Lai Baoqing were talking, Chen Dongliang came back from outside, saw Lai Mao's father sitting in his house, greeted and shouted "Uncle Lai", and was about to go to his room.

"Dongliang, sit down for a while and talk to your Uncle Lai, your Uncle Lai doesn't often come to our house. Chen Guozhong saw that his son was going to meet his room, so he called out to his son.

Chen Dongliang stopped, and dragged a small bench next to him and sat down.

"Your Uncle Lai came to our house today for something and wanted to discuss it with you. Chen Guozhong saw his son sit down and said to his son.

"What are you talking to me about?" Chen Dongliang scratched his head and said with a smile.

"I'll have to discuss this with you. Lai Baoqing turned his head to look at Chen Dongliang and said with a smile.

Chen Dongliang made Lai Baoqing feel like he had fallen into the eyes of the clouds, and he didn't know what was going on up and down, left and right, east and west, north and south, he kept scratching his head, looking at Lai Baoqing, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Good thing. Lai Baoqing smiled and sold a pass.

Chen Dongliang didn't know which play Lai Baoqing was singing, and kept scratching his head to look at Lai Baoqing.

"Your Uncle Lai wants to tell you a daughter-in-law. Chen Guozhong interjected.

"That's good wow. Chen Dongliang put down his hand and said with a smile.

"It's serious, don't think you're joking. Lai Baoqing straightened his face and said, "For a child as old as you, it's time to say that a daughter-in-law is a matchmaker." If it weren't for the fortune teller who said that there were no good days this year, he would have gotten married and started a family this year. He's still two years younger than you, you see, if you get married next year, you can have a child and become a father in a year or two. ”

"What do we compare to others? Chen Dongliang scratched his head again.

The boy spoke...... Don't you want to get married and start a family early?" Lai Baoqing looked at Chen Dongliang and said solemnly, "This has been the same thing since ancient times, men have to marry when they are older, women have to marry when they are older, and no one can escape this rule if they marry men and women." ”

Chen Dongliang didn't know how to answer Lai Baoqing, so he just scratched his head and smiled.

"It's too late. If you miss this age, it's hard to talk about matchmaking. Lai Baoqing began to talk to Chen Dongliang about his belly, "Who doesn't want to get married and marry a wife early? Get married early, start a family early, have children early and take root early." You're just going to drag it out for another ten or eight years, or that's it. If it really drags on for another ten or eight years, then the age will be too jumpy, and it will be difficult to find it. What do our little families live all their lives? work, eat, get married, and have children. It's been like this for generations, and we can't jump out of this rule. ”

"Yes, we are a small family, a small family and a small yard, and we don't think much about anything else, we have work to do, we have food to eat, and we have a life to live. Chen Guozhong took Lai Baoqing's words, looked at his son and said, "It is the heart of a father and mother that the child can grow up and get married and start a family." When the child is older, he can't get married and start a family, and his heart as a father and mother will be unsteady. ”

Chen Dongliang knew that his father's words were for himself, and since a few years ago, his father and mother have told him the idea of marrying a matchmaker, and they have told themselves their thoughts more than once. I also know in my heart that if I don't settle the marriage like other little men in the village, my father's heart will not be steady. Every father and mother is the same, the child's business is their heart, and it is also their heart. When the child's business is over, the father's and mother's worries will be gone, and the heart disease will be cured. Judging from the stubble people in the village who are a few years old from their own size, many of them have already set up matchmakers, and some have even become families, and they are still such a person, in the hearts of their parents, this is also their biggest heart and the biggest heartache. Lai Baoqing is also right, the small family of the village, one day in the morning and one day in the evening, although the father and mother are still reluctant to work as a treasure, but he was born in this family, born in this village, the sun and the moon are like this, he should also get married according to the rules of the people in the village, and then like other people in the village, go out early and return to the field to beg for food and live, and slowly carry the sun into the land. Thinking of this, he looked up at his father, then at Lai Baoqing, and said, "You can find out about this with my father and mother." People like us don't ask for anything else, just live a good life. ”

"I said this kid is sensible, and you still don't agree with me. Lai Baoqing listened to Chen Dongliang's words, turned his face to look at Chen Guozhong and said, "Look, this kid understands everything, but he just doesn't want to say it." ”

Chen Guozhong saw that his son agreed to Lai Baoqing to tell him that he was married, and his heart suddenly brightened, at first he thought that his son would have something to choose, but he didn't expect that his son would be so simple in this matter today.

Lai Baoqing glanced at Chen Dongliang, then turned his head to look at Chen Guozhong, and said: "I thought that these two children were a good match, but I didn't care about it at first, since Captain Ma mentioned this matter to me, I began to think about it in my heart, and the more I pondered, the more I felt that these two children were suitable." You also pondered carefully, these two children are really husband and wife. ”

Chen Guozhong began to ponder as if he reminded Lai Baoqing of these words, he frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly a very proud smile appeared on his face: "It's true, why don't you care about this on weekdays?"

"yes, the more I think about it, the more it looks. Lai Baoqing saw Chen Guozhong's smug face, and he was also proud of the discovery he had figured out these days, "I see, this thing will be done, God's will!"

Chen Dongliang sat next to him and looked at Lai Baoqing and his father, confused in his heart, who are they talking about?

"Dongliang, what do you think of Ma Hua's daughter?" Chen Guozhong looked at his son and asked tentatively.

"Ma Hua?" Chen Dongliang was stunned.

"Yes, Ma Hua, Captain Ma's daughter. Lai Baoqing saw that Chen Dongliang was stunned, looked at Chen Dongliang and said.

Chen Dongliang didn't expect Lai Baoqing to tell Ma Hua to himself, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't ease his senses.

"Your Uncle Lai has also pondered, there is a half-catty and eighty-tael in this matter. Speaking of matchmaking, the matchmaker has weighed it in his heart many times in advance, and there is no one who is exactly the same, and he will not be involved in this matter. Chen Guozhong looked at his son and said, "When a matchmaker says a matchmaker, he has to weigh it back and forth in his heart in advance, there is a saying, 'Good is good, Lai is good, Lai is good, scimitar is good to cut vegetables', your Uncle Lai told the two of you that this matchmaker is pulling this line, and he doesn't want to be the same, he has been thinking about it for many days." ”

Chen Dongliang looked at his father's appearance, and the dim light reflected his father's face that should not be old even more old, and his hair was knotted and lying on his father's head, like fluffy grass in the ground. During the day, he looked at his fairly flat face, and at this time it was dark like the bark of a jujube tree. Dad is also a person for half a lifetime, Dad has raised himself in this half of his life, and a lot of torment in the middle is in his eyes, and the sun and moon in the future are said to be old, and it is time to carry it himself. He didn't feel a little sour in his heart and wanted to cry, his mother was the same, when he remembered, his mother's face could still see the bright and bright light, all these years have passed, in addition to the wrinkles and the hair that has become scarce, the rest is the hands that are rough enough to be whetstones. He is their son and the pillar of their second life. But so far, what have I done for them? My father and mother felt sorry for themselves, and they were reluctant to let themselves go to the ground to contribute, and the two of them were so tightly struggling to earn such a scene, earning such a sun and moon. Thinking of this, he glanced at his father and said, "Father and mother should look at the arrangement for this matter." ”

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Dongliang doesn't have a good impression of Ma Hua, he always feels that she is too strong, she has a temper since she was a child, and she is so powerful that she can eat people. However, Lai Mao's father also said just now that when he gets married in the future, he will live a life. It's not a child's play when she was a child, even if she still has a temper, it's time to rein.

Lai Baoqing saw that Chen Dongliang asked Chen Guozhong and his family to make up their minds, and immediately said to Chen Guozhong: "I said that the child of your family is sensible, you still don't admit it, whose child can be like him? My family Lai Mao and the three of them can be half as sensible as the pillars of your family in the future, then the two of us patted our thighs and laughed." ”

Chen Guozhong was down-to-earth, his son didn't say anything, so he let himself and his mother take this idea, which he didn't expect, and at first he thought that his son would have something. He looked at Lai Baoqing Yile and said, "The children are sensible when they are older." ”
