That night, after Cheng Yuanshan came back from his father-in-law's house, Cheng Laohan instructed him to call Li Chengda to Cheng's house, and calculated the wages of these days to him, Cheng Laohan is not that mean person, he has been getting older in recent years, and the work in the field is already a little inadequate, plus although the second and third are men, but one is lazy, one is playful, and it doesn't work, these days are thanks to Li Chengda's work like a child, but he has made great efforts, if there is no help from Li Chengda, the work in the field must not be so smooth, It was Cheng Laohan who gave an extra 30% of the original salary, but Li Chengda did not accept it, but still took the salary according to the original price, and thanked him, and after waiting for a while, he did not see the shadow of Jiaojiao, and left the courtyard of the Cheng family.

"Dad, Cheng San is not ambiguous when he does his work, he is a real person." After Li Chengda left, Cheng Yuanshan sat down next to his father and said good things about Li Chengda again.

Cheng Laohan smoked a dry cigarette, and only let out a faint "hmm" when he listened to his son's words.

Cheng Yuanshan said that there are traces to follow, after knowing Li Chengda's intentions for his sister, he asked someone to inquire about Li Chengda in Yushui Village carefully, and the news was that although Li Chengda had been in prison, it was rare that there was a good reputation in the village, even if it was a brutal person, such as Aunt Ye of Yushui Village, he would never say a "no" word when it came to the three words "Li Chengsan", on the contrary, if there was any contradiction between the neighbors, everyone still liked to talk to him and listened to him.

He is easy-going, open-minded, he loves to have a drink or two with friends on weekdays, but he never drinks and makes trouble, if anyone in the village encounters a happy event, he also loves to join in the fun, if anyone encounters a white thing, he also loves to help someone, he also loves to laugh with people on weekdays, but never hurts people, if he hears others talking about right and wrong behind his back, he also laughs and walks away, in addition, he treats his father to filial piety, and is extremely righteous, is to have many friends, it is said that when he was in prison, what Jiangyang thief, green forest hero, All in all, in Yushui Village, all the people who have been in contact with him, from the old man and the old lady, down to the drooping child, everyone loves to talk to him, and they all love to be close to him, I think when he was not in the cell, although the family was poor, but there were still many girls who were willing to marry him, although the matchmaker who proposed marriage to him did not break the threshold, but it was also an endless stream, and it was a bit popular in Shili and Eight Villages, but since squatting in that prison, Li Chengda was twenty-six when he was released from prison, not only delayed his own marriage, but also put his own good years into it.

As for the brother he helped out that day, the family has moved into the city, although he rarely moves around on weekdays, but the relationship is still very good, Li Chengda has never been falsely accused of this matter, but never mentioned this matter again, and everyone in the village found that Li Chengda has not changed gloomy in the past six years of imprisonment, he is still so hearty, and his temper has not changed.

"Dad, Cheng San hasn't married yet, in my opinion, ......" Cheng Yuanshan thought about speaking, but before he could finish speaking, Cheng Laohan had already buckled the cigarette pouch and interrupted his son's words: "The work in the field is almost busy, let him go back tomorrow." ”

Listening to his father's words, Cheng Yuanshan understood his father's intentions, he opened his mouth, but he was still silent in the end.

Besides, Li Chengda took the salary, so he went to the wine shop at the head of the village to drink, cut some cooked food, and sent it to Wu Si's house.

Early the next morning, Li Chengda went to a nearby town, bought cloth, weighed snacks, cut pork, beat sesame oil, and bought some children's favorite gadgets in bits and pieces.

Looking at Li Chengda sending these things, although he didn't say it in his mouth, but how could the Cheng family not understand the meaning of this, Cheng Laohan's eyes fell on the cloth and grain, and only said that Li Chengda was indeed a real person as the eldest son said, just looking at the things he sent, he also knew that they were all practical.

"Chengsan, it's not easy for you to make money, what are you giving us these things for?" Cheng Laohan's eyes fell on the young man in front of him, and asked himself, Li Chengda has been working in the Cheng family for these days, he is hardworking and decent, if he has not been in prison, Cheng Laohan is very willing to marry his daughter to him, but when he squats in prison, everything has changed.

"Uncle, these days Chengsan has been working in your house for three days, and you and your aunt have not regarded me as an outsider, these are my little thoughts, and please accept it from you and your aunt." Li Chengda stood in front of Cheng Laohan, his expression was gentle and respectful.

"Come on, don't say it better than singing, let's be happy, are you beating my sister's idea?" Cheng Yuanqiao on the side shouted, and said angrily to Li Chengda: "I knew it was nothing good when you kid first came, your eyes couldn't wait to stick to my sister, when we are all blind?" ”

Listening to Cheng Yuanqiao's words, Cheng Laohan did not say a word, obviously agreeing with Cheng Yuanqiao's statement, only smoking a dry cigarette silently, as if waiting for Li Chengda's reply.

"Yes, uncle, I like Jiaojiao, I hope you can marry her to me." Li Chengda gritted his teeth and simply admitted it.

Jiaojiao stood behind the curtain, Li Chengda's voice came into her ears clearly, she only felt that her heart was beating so fast, even her fingers were trembling slightly, and she only stood there nervously, waiting for her father's answer.

"Go for your dreams, and don't look in the mirror......" Cheng Yuanqiao looked disdainful.

"Dick!" Cheng Laohan shouted, and Cheng Yuanqiao closed his mouth.

"Cheng San, Jiaojiao is my little girl, my mother and I have the same meaning, I want to find her a good mother-in-law, it's nothing to be poor, but the character and family background must be innocent, I can't let Jiaojiao gossip behind her back, let people look down on her, and say that she followed a person who has been in prison." Cheng Laohan's voice is very peaceful, but this peace shows more weight.

Although Li Chengda has a bold and open-minded temperament, he was still very hurt in his heart when he listened to Cheng Laohan's words at this moment, his expression was gloomy, and he only laughed at himself and said: "I understand what the old man meant, you are right, I want to have a daughter myself, and I don't want her to marry someone like me." ”

Jiaojiao stood behind the curtain, listening to his words, she didn't understand why, she felt very sad, and tears rushed to her eyes.

"You take this silver...... Cheng Laohan took out a money bag, which contained almost a few hundred dollars, which deserved to be worth these things sent by Li Chengda.

"Uncle, don't bury me, this silver right is some of my thoughts on Jiaojiao, just as she gets married, I will give her a gift." Li Chengda didn't pick up the money bag, he left this sentence, said goodbye to Cheng Laohan, and walked simply.

Jiaojiao watched him stride out of his yard, and immediately walked out of the back room, seeing her, Cheng Yuanqiao suddenly said, "Jiaojiao? What are you out for? Get on board! ”
