Sun Chaohua's heart was racing like a train, and he couldn't wait to return home immediately.

The train departed from Chengdu to Xijing and took "14th Five-Year Plan" hours.

Chaohua got off the train and took a long-distance bus home, arriving home in less than two hours.

When he saw his parents, Sun Chaohua took out the tea and beef jerky he bought and gave them to his father, and shared others like watercress, rice candy, and Chaotian walnuts with his younger siblings.

Father Sun Laowan looked at the things he bought, and said angrily, "What are you buying that thing for?" Zhang Enthusiasm, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly came forward to play a round, "I said his father, the baby is kind enough to buy you something, how much is it a heart, why are you angry?" ”

"Our dad is worried about money again," Xiaoni came out and interjected, and then said with a strange face, "The specialty that my eldest brother bought is really delicious." After speaking, the corners of his mouth were wiped and he was still savoring.

"That's for you to sell rice, you can enjoy it with steamed buns, why don't you eat it alone," Sun Chaohua looked at Xiao Ni's greedy appearance and told her how to eat it.

"Big brother is back," Dani came out to greet Chaohua, and Chaohua asked her if she had eaten anything she had brought? Dani said that after eating beef jerky, she felt that the more she chewed, the more flavorful it became.

"Since you think it's delicious, let's eat more," Chaohua saw that Dani finally had a smiling face, so he persuaded, "I bought six packs of beef, and I still have that?" ”

After saying hello to his father and two younger sisters, his mother told him two things in the evening, the first thing was that Chaoqun was optimistic about talking to a partner this time, we had all met, and we were ready to get engaged in the next few days.

Mother said, "This time we are on a small scale, just invite your uncle's and aunt's family, and last time Chaoqun also said that this time I don't want people to follow the group, so I won't invite your uncle and aunt's house, so as not to be embarrassed." ”

"Is Chaoqun happy with this girl?" Chaohua asked a little puzzled.

"Satisfied or dissatisfied, he found it himself, what else can he say?" Mother said to Chaohua, speechless for a long time, and then said, "You see what I wanted to say just now, why can't I remember." ”

Chaohua saw that her mother blamed herself and said, "It's okay, tell me when you think about it." ”

The mother pondered for a while and said, "He prepared the outstanding engagement bride price for this time, and your father and I prepared it for Zhang Luo." ”

After speaking, there was silence again, Chaohua got up to say goodbye, and his mother suddenly remembered what she was going to say just now, "You take the time to go to your uncle, he said that someone else introduced you to a girl, and I can't figure out the specifics, so you just say that you can come back and find him directly." ”

"Well, I know," seeing Chaohua's response, his mother reminded him to take some of the souvenirs he brought back when he went.

The next morning, during dinner, Chaohua asked Chaoqun what he was doing now? Chaohua told him that he was now leading a small team of bricklayers with a nearby social worker to build houses for farmers in the neighborhood.

"Social love, you know the one next door to Uncle He's house, and his sister is the same age as you." Chaoqun introduced the social love situation to Chaohua.

"How's your business going?" As soon as Chaohua's voice fell, Chaoqun replied, "It's okay, it's just a small fight." ”

Chaohua asked about Chaoqun's engagement again, and Chaoqun told him that he met when he was building a brick house nearby, and after a few months of contact, he felt okay.

"Now that you're sure, do as you want!" Chaohua told Chaoqun to rest assured and think about his future.

Chaoqun talked about his uncle's search for Chaohua and asked, "When are you going to uncle?" "Tomorrow night, my uncle will drive the leader and come back late."

"Okay, we'll talk about it when you get back." Chaoqun had breakfast, and when he left, he threw out such a sentence.

Chaohua saw his uncle, and his uncle said to him, "Our construction company leader relatives have a girl who works in a woolen factory, and the relatives ask the leader to look for a partner nearby, I mentioned you, the leader said, you are just right, and said that you will come back to make an appointment," the uncle said, and specially explained that his leader is a distant uncle who has no five suits in his uncle's family, and Chaohua is also very familiar.

"Have you seen that girl?" Chaohua asked.

"I saw it once last year, and I wasn't impressed, but I still used the leadership car to pull something for her brother, and her brother is also a college student and graduated last year." Uncle replied.

"Okay then, let's talk about it when we meet!" Chaohua promised his uncle to meet.

Sun Chaohua remembered the date of the appointment, it was a summer and autumn in July of that year, it was raining very much, his uncle drove him to the office of the construction company, and after waiting for a while, a tall and burly middle-aged man led a girl to the office, and the uncle hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and then told the leader that the woman was coming.

After the uncle introduced the middle-aged man, Sun Chaohua stood up politely, nodded, and then called him uncle, and after saying hello, he only heard the uncle leader say it and said, "Let's let the two children talk to each other for a while, and the three of us will go to another room for tea." ”

Sun Chaohua was the first guest, beckoned the girl to sit down, took advantage of the gap in the pouring water, and looked at the girl, but saw that the girl was more than one meter six, with a cut hair, a typical melon seed face, a slightly red face, a slightly larger mouth, big eyes in the middle eyelids, dressed plainly, wearing a beige suit all over her body, and wearing beige long rain boots.

"Please drink water," Sun Chaohua found that the girl was also looking at him when he handed the girl water, "You're welcome," the girl turned out the teacup and put it on the tea table.

"We got to know each other by getting to know each other, is there anything you need to know?" Sun Chaohua broke the silence and asked.

"I've introduced the basics, and I just want to ask two questions, one is your age, and the other is your school name and major?"

"Ao, I was born in 1962, my surname is Chaohua, and I studied industrial economics and management in the Department of Industrial Economics of Xijing Mechanical College." After Sun Chaohua finished speaking, he took out his ID card and lit up.

"You don't have to look at your ID card, you just believe it," the girl was amused when she saw him hand it out.

"My surname is Li Mingjuan, what do you want to ask me?" The girl asked with a smile.

"I only have one question, that is, college students from peasant families are relatively poor, and they have to rely on their own struggle, are you mentally prepared for this?" Sun Chaohua was straight to the point and asked a very realistic question.

When the girl heard this, she smiled slightly, and said, "I took over my father's class to work, and I understand the current situation of rural fathers, who are on their own to provide for their children to go to college, and if it is quite difficult to get money to get engaged and marry for their children, I hope that the two of them will share weal and woe, but I don't want to only share weal and woe, not weal and woe." ”

"I don't have a problem," Sun Chaohua felt that there was nothing more to ask after listening to Li Juan's answer.

Less than 20 minutes after the meeting, Li Juan said that she still had to go to work, so she left first.

The uncle came back and told Chaohua that Li Juan's father had just entered the door and looked at Chaohua, and felt very satisfied, and said that he would go back and ask the girl what she meant, and then ask Chaohua, how did she feel about Li Juan? Chaohua replied that it was the first time they met, and it felt good.

"Then wait for them to hear back," the uncle said, telling Chaohua that their leaders asked him to send him to the station and then pick him up and go home.
