Back at school, just as Niu Tiangou was wondering whether to continue his relationship with Lei Xiuyun, he received a letter from Chen Lili from Yun'an County and Teresa Teng from Huaidong County to meet him.

Yun'an County is adjacent to Beihe Town, Yunyang County, and the distance is not very far.

Niu Tiangou thought about it, but decided to meet Chen Lili from Yun'an County first, so he replied and postponed the meeting with Teresa Teng in Huaidong County.

Thinking about it, Chen Lili's first letter was written for her by her young aunt.

Her aunt introduced her in the letter: "I am an employee of the Yun'an County Food Bureau, and I have a niece named Chen Lili, who is 1.61 meters tall, 24 years old, and graduated from high school. After reading your marriage posting, I think she fits your criteria perfectly. Besides, your school is not far from our Yun'an County, and it is convenient to communicate and get to know each other.

"So, I want to draw a red thread for you. My niece is honest and dedicated, not as outgoing and crazy as other girls, which is rare among girls nowadays, and you will know these things when you meet and contact her. If you're interested, send me a letter back. ”

After Niu Tiangou replied to the letter, he soon received a letter from Chen Lili herself.

In the letter, she said that the first letter was written by her young aunt, who gave it directly to her when she received the reply. My aunt has been worrying about her marriage.

She said that her home is in rural Yun'an, and now, her aunt has arranged for her to make breakfast with others at a makeshift breakfast stall next to the food bureau.

She said that if Niu Tiangou wants, she can come to her at any time at the breakfast stall. Their breakfast stall iron shed is next to the county food bureau, which is easy to find.

She also sent her photos in the letter: round face, short hair, plainly dressed squatting on the ridge of the farmland, no smiling face like a flower, no twisting and artificial, a natural rural girl's appearance, simple and real.

Later, Niu Tiangou sent her another letter and a photo of himself.

Next, Niu Tiangou was busy meeting with Wu Lanlan from Wupu Town, Cheng Ying from Jingmen County, Tang Xiaoping from Xiangliu County in Jiangnan, and Lei Xiuyun from Jingsha County, so he put down the matter of meeting her.

Now, after receiving a letter from Chen Lili to meet at the bus station, Niu Tiangou decided to take a look.

……

At about 10 o'clock in the morning that day, Niu Tiangou arrived at the Yun'an County bus station.

As soon as he got out of the car, he hurried to the door of the waiting room.

Not far from the door of the waiting room, Niu Tiangou looked at it, and Chen Lili was not seen at the door, but he saw that the person standing there with a red handbag in his hand turned out to be an old lady who was nearly 60 years old!

Niu Tiangou was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to go any further, let alone take out the book in his bag. Because one with a red handbag and the other with a book was his agreement to meet Chen Lili.

Niu Tiangou looked at the old lady who was standing there and kept looking around, and gasped.

He once heard a strange story from the teachers about an old lady in her 60s who liked to dance in a certain village, and fell in love with a young man in her 30s who was learning to dance with him. This young man who is obsessed with dancing finally marries an old lady!

After being stunned for a while, Niu Tiangou, who came to his senses, immediately turned around and walked out of the station, he wanted to go to the breakfast stall next to the county grain bureau to inquire and ask if there was such a person as Chen Lili!

Nima, an old lady was recruited for marriage, this is a big loss!

With a belly full of suspicions, Niu Tiangou asked as he walked, turned around, and finally found the Food Bureau, and saw that there was really an iron shed next to him that sold breakfast.

He came to the breakfast stall and asked a busy young man, "Excuse me...... Do any of you have a person named Chen Lili here? ”

The young man raised his head and was about to answer, when a girl in a white dress and a white hat who was cutting dough turned her head, hurriedly put down her knife, hurried out, and pulled Niu Tiangou aside.

The girl's face blushed and she whispered urgently, "I...... I'm at work now, I don't have time, my mom is waiting for you at the station gate, you go quickly...... I'll be here in a moment......"

So that's it!

It's unheard of to ask my mother to come on a date with her future son-in-law! It's up to her to figure it out!

However, in Niu Tiangou's mind, the future mother-in-law should be in her 40s, why Chen Lili's mother is so old, no wonder Niu Tiangou will misunderstand.

……

Back at the station, Niu Tiangou walked in from the door of the waiting room with a book in his hand.

There were already a few people in the waiting room, mostly sitting, and a few others were coming in one after another.

The old lady was walking around the waiting room at this time, and when she saw Niu Tiangou coming in, she was stunned for a moment, looked down at the photo in her hand, and slowly stepped forward and asked, "Are you Niu ......?"

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou hurriedly nodded at the old lady, pointed to the wooden bench next to him, and said politely, "Sit, sit!" ”

"You teach in Beihe Town?" After Niu Tiangou sat down at one end of the bench, the old lady also sat down at the other end of the bench, and then turned her head and asked.

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou replied seriously.

"Beihe Town, I know, it's not far from us."

"You...... How did you get here? Niu Tiangou asked casually. As soon as the words came out, he seemed to feel that it was very inappropriate and impolite to ask like this, and he regretted it a little.

"Lily, she can't leave the breakfast stall, I'm worried that you'll wait here for a long time, so I'm here." The old lady didn't think anything was wrong, and explained, "Yesterday Lily said she was going to meet you today...... This is a big deal, I'm just a girl like Lily, you say I don't come to see it, can I put my mind at ease? ”

Niu Tiangou listened quietly and did not interject again.

"My Lily, this kid, is always disobedient and makes us worry about it...... Her aunt introduced her to a few people, and she either didn't have a job or didn't have a high level of education. The old lady owes a debt, and then says, "Alas, this city child has a high vision, a job, and a high education, can he afford a rural girl?" ”

The old lady is really straightforward when she speaks, and she is telling the truth.

After saying that, the old lady sighed again and said, "Lily has four older brothers. Her eldest brother told me that every time he went into the city and saw other girls working in a regular unit, while his sister was busy in the iron shed, he felt his eyes sour, and his heart was not happy. ”

Niu Tiangou understands the feeling of being a big brother, rural girls are mixed in the city, and it is hard, and it is difficult for most of them to integrate into the city.

"She hasn't said anything since her aunt wrote to you...... As long as you two children are good, what else can I say as a mother? I just want her to take root, become a family, and have a home, but I have a heart......"

As she was talking, Chen Lili came.

She took off her white clothes and hat, and wore a jacket, the jacket was slightly small, and the jacket was tightened, dressed as a simple rural girl.

Chen Lili came to the middle of the bench and sat down, looking very restrained, keeping a distance of about 1 meter from Niu Tiangou.

The old lady was very interested, and immediately stopped talking, and turned her head at one end of the bench, and looked out of the window, leaving room for the two young men to talk.

"Done?" Niu Tiangou took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm." She whispered.

"How many years have you been working at the breakfast stall?"

"It's been almost two years." She tugged at the corner of her clothes, "My aunt introduced me at the end of last year." ”

"Does the unit have housing?"

"No, we are temporary workers, how can the unit have our housing." She glanced up at Niu Tiangou and said in a low voice, "I live at my aunt's house." ”

"Are you going to keep doing it forever?" Niu Tiangou looked at her and asked.

"Later...... More on that later. She lowered her head, "It depends." If...... If...... I'm just going to quit. ”

"You mean after you get married?"

"......" she lowered her head, no squeak.

“……”

Chen Lili is indeed like her aunt said, honest, responsible, not much language, Niu Tiangou asked, she replied with a slight red face or said a few words by the way, without asking, she didn't say much, let alone take the initiative to ask.

Perhaps it was because the old lady was nearby, and she was too embarrassed to let go of the young man to talk.

After talking like this for a while, Niu Tiangou finally said: "I'll discuss this matter with my parents and then write back to you, okay?" ”

At this time, the old lady turned around, looked at Niu Tiangou, and said solemnly: "I have to go home and discuss this matter with my parents...... This is a big deal, can you afford it alone? …… You can come to my house at any time and ask Chenjiawan according to the address, it is only 15 miles away from here......"

……

After saying goodbye to Chen Lili and the old lady and getting into the car, Niu Tiangou still thought about the old lady's appearance and what she said, and really regretted not inviting the old lady to dinner, after all, people are still worried about their daughter at such an old age, and they are still coming from afar.

Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
