Chapter 69: Li Yifei came to propose
Qinglian and everyone panicked, but Li Yifei said calmly: "Second brother, I will drink three cups at most, and I won't drink one more drop, I'm sorry." ”
He Hongshan glanced at him with satisfaction, and Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief. The uncle and aunt suddenly remembered that the second son could come, and they also gave him the wine bowl.
Although Jiejun was not convinced, he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he hummed angrily and stuffed a chopstick braised pork into his mouth.
The remaining three cousins didn't dare to "do it", so they had to look at Li Yifei with resentment, they couldn't stand someone taking away their hearts and sisters.
Uncle He Hongyun looked at Li Yifei and spoke: "Our He family is honest, and we speak straightforwardly, don't mind." My Qinglian is a good girl, and we all want her to find a safe home. But your family's situation is too unsuitable for us, and your father has kidnapped my daughter. ”
The eldest brother said what He Hongshan said in his heart, he looked at the eldest brother approvingly, and then looked at Li Yifei's performance and listened to how he answered.
Li Yifei heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he immediately said sincerely: "Last time, it was my father who did something wrong, so I sent Qinglian back privately, in fact, my father was a mistake, but he is not a heinous person, and I promise that he will never do the slightest harm to Qinglian in the future." ”
"How can you guarantee this, in the future, my daughter will marry into your family, but she will live in the same courtyard with your father?" He Hongshan spoke.
Li Yifei choked for a while, because he felt that no matter how much he swore to promise, he was very weak at the moment.
Qinglian saw that her beloved was embarrassed, so she pulled her father's sleeve and said, "Dad, look at your ......"
He Hongshan said to Li Yifei apologetically: "Young man, to be honest, I have a good impression of you, and you are the benefactor of our family, I don't want to embarrass you at all." But I can't ignore the safety of my daughter, your father is a person who gambles, drinks heavily, beats people, and mixes very poorly in your village, and you don't have a mother, no brothers and sisters, so you and your father depend on each other, I really don't dare to marry my daughter to your family. ”
Li Yifei's face gradually turned red, which showed that he was struggling in his heart. He suddenly spoke: "Then we won't live with my father in the future, right?" ”
Qinglian was stunned: she knew that although Li Yifei hated his father, he was a conscientious person and an out-and-out filial son, and he actually said this sentence today in order to seek her father's approval. Qinglian's eyes blurred.
But He Hongshan was still not satisfied, he said to the end: "I'll make a real friend with you, if you really like my Qinglian, you will leave your father and come to my house as a son-in-law." ”
He Hongyun immediately picked up and said: "Yes, there are only four girls in my brother's family, and the boss must recruit a son-in-law to take care of this family." ”
"Yes, that's it!" Several cousins applauded unanimously.
So that their precious cousin won't leave them.
The sweat on Li Yifei's forehead flowed.
Being a door-to-door son-in-law is not only to live in the mother-in-law's house, but also to follow the woman's surname for the children born in the future, and if you are a door-to-door son-in-law, no matter how strong you are, people will look down on you.
Li Yifei, a dignified straight man, how can he accept being a son-in-law?
Seeing that his breathing became more and more rapid, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped on the table, several cousins were triumphant, and said in their hearts, now you should get out.
He Hongshan didn't look smug at all, on the contrary, he was reluctant, such a good young man, he was reluctant to let him be someone else's son-in-law!
Li Yifei slowly stood up, Qinglian burst into tears, she was about to speak, Li Yifei stood straight and said a word: "I agree, but I can't ignore my father." ”
Yes...... Did he really agree to be a son-in-law, such a good young man? The whole family was stunned.
Qinglian cried "wow", she sobbed and hugged Li Yifei's arm, and said movingly: "Thank you, thank you......"
Suddenly, she wiped her tears, looked at her father with tough eyes and said to her uncle: "Dad, uncle, cousin, I don't agree with him to be a son-in-law." ”
The whole family was stunned again.
Li Yifei looked at Qinglian deeply.
Qinglian said solemnly: "Dad, uncle, you know, the son-in-law has no status in our village, and he will be inferior in front of everyone, I don't want my husband to be like this." Dad, you yourself said that it doesn't matter if you have a son or not, you just want your daughter to live well and be happy, right? If you force me to recruit a son-in-law, then I will not be happy. ”
He Hongshan shook his eyebrows and did not respond.
Qinglian walked over to her father, rubbed his back and said, "Dad, I know that you love your daughter, and I can't wait to tie your four daughters to your belt, but we will grow up after all, and we have the right to pursue our own happiness, so let Dad let it go." Your daughter is not stupid, your daughter knows where her happiness lies......"
He Hongshan cried, and several cousins also had red eyes.
He Hongshan wiped his tears and raised his head, suddenly laughed twice, waved his hand to Li Yifei to sit down, and said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, I just tried Yifei, you kid, to see if you are sincere to my daughter." I agree with you. Pick a good day, you ask your dad and the matchmaker to come over. ”
"Daddy!" Qinglian hugged his neck excitedly.
Li Yifei was not good at talking, and he couldn't speak when he was excited. He picked up the wine bottle in a panic and poured a full glass of wine, raised his hands and said to He Hongshan: "Uncle, thank you so much, I won't say anything, I salute you." ”
He Hongshan laughed and said: "You just said, you don't have more than three cups, I don't want you to break this rule, my son-in-law can't gamble, second, can't drink, and can't bully my daughter, you can remember." ”
Li Yifei swore and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't commit any of the three." ”
Qinglian smiled sweetly, snatched the glass of wine in his hand, touched his father's wine glass and said, "Did I drink it for him?" lest you turn around and say that Yifei is rude. ”
"Hahaha......" He Hongyun laughed at both of them.
The drunken Qingjun also grinned incomprehensibly, and the remaining two cousins could not say anything, so they had to laugh a few times.
Dad finally spat out, and the matter between the two was finally agreed by one of the parents. Thinking of the tragedy of the previous life, Qinglian was full of joy and sorrow, she drank a cup and poured herself a cup, held it high and said to the relatives present: "Dad, uncle and aunt, brothers, I can finally be with Yifei, you all bless us, we will be happy......"
She couldn't stop crying.
Li Yifei and everyone didn't understand why she was so strong, and besides, she said this as if she had known Li Yifei for several lifetimes.
Li Yifei patted her shoulder distressedly, calmed her down, and said to him with a smile: "I'm happy......"
Li Yifei went home and waited for a good day to prepare for the blind date, Qinglian here was not "carried away by love", she had collected the garlic, and she had to dig the cellar and build a greenhouse quickly.
With so much garlic, this greenhouse has to be built. Fortunately, there is a lot of wasteland in this era, and there are dozens of acres of wasteland in the south of their village. Because it is located in a low-lying area, it is flooded every year during the rainy season, so it is always empty.
It happened that Qinglian picked up the cheap, but she didn't "eat alone", she asked her cousin's family to dig a greenhouse and plant the garlic at home, Qingjun witnessed his cousin's garlic yellow pulled to the county and was robbed madly, so he did not hesitate to buy the items used in the greenhouse.
It takes a lot of effort to dig a cellar and build a warm shed, not to mention that if you want to build more than two acres of land, you have to find strong labor to operate.
It's the winter farming season, and it's not difficult to find someone to help, as long as you take care of the wine and meat, it's no problem to let them help you work for ten days and a half.
Early in the morning, He Hongshan led a dozen young men from the village to dig cellars in the field.
It's winter, the ground is frozen, and it's very hard to dig, and you have to dig more than a foot deep before there is no frozen soil, so it's very tiring.
People are tired to work for you, but you have to let the family eat well. At noon, Qinglian found Qiu Ju's sister-in-law, who worked well in the alley, and helped cook for everyone with Meiling.
Because she had to continue to work in the afternoon, Qinglian didn't prepare wine at noon, and she didn't make so many dishes, but just steamed a big pot of white steamed buns, stewed a big pot of cabbage stewed meat, and mixed a big pot of sour radish strips to eat, so that everyone could eat hot and sour.
The three of them were busy talking in the kitchen, Qinglian steamed steamed buns, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law cut shredded radish and mixed radish, Meiling cut the meat slices, cut the cabbage and began to stew.
At this time, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law spoke.
