Second, the love is agreeable

Li Minqiang had just finished dinner and was helping his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"You just finished eating?"

"Xiujuan is here." Sit in the fast room, Xiuqin said happily.

"No, I have something to do with Brother Minqiang."

Song Xiuqin snatched the chopsticks in Minqiang's hand and said with a smile: "Xiujuan is looking for you, go quickly." ”

Li Minqiang put on his coat and walked out of the courtyard with Xiujuan.

Li Xiaoying smiled and said, "Mother, are they engaging in a match?" ”

"Don't be foolish, little ones." Xiaoying grimaced and went back to the inner room to do her homework.

Song Xiuqin smiled and said to Baiwang: "Don't say it, they are quite a good match." ”

Li Baiwang smoked a cigarette and smiled, but did not squeak.

Li Minqiang and Yang Xiujuan came to the village committee office. After sitting down, Xiujuan asked, "Brother Minqiang, why did you return the money to me again?" ”

"I've already handed it over for Grandma Dong, how can I accept you again."

"I know you have more money than me, and you may have a little money to change jobs, but you're not rich either!"

"I'm not a rich man, but when I see people in their homes, all the furniture is not worth a lot of money. Do you think I can not help them? ”

"Yes, some households can only survive by applying for government assistance."

"I must try to make every household in our village rich as soon as possible. Do you believe it? ”

"Believe, the people are strong!" Yang Xiujuan said happily, "This is great! The streets are lit with bright street lamps and running water, which is not the same as in the city. ”

"When our village is rich, let the villagers live in buildings like city people."

"You're beautiful enough!"

"There are things in the world that you can't think of, and there are things you can't do. To do something, you must first dare to think, and you can't even think about how it can be realized. ”

A beautiful vista emerged in Xiujuan's heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. How happy it is to live with such aspiring and talented people!

Yang Xiujuan said with confidence: "I believe that this day will come true sooner or later." ”

"I'm also full of confidence. Only then can it be regarded as a new socialist countryside. Let's work together towards this goal. ”

"Hmm." Yang Xiujuan nodded deeply.

Li Minqiang said: "But we should also think that the future is bright, and the road is tortuous. Doing anything will not be smooth sailing, there will always be problems of one kind or another in the process of moving forward, and we should be fully mentally prepared to do it. ”

Yang Xiujuan said with a serious expression: "When you talk about this, I will tell you that the letter to Uncle Datian asking for flour was written by Li Xuewen. ”

Li Minqiang was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

"Jianming told me that the letter to Uncle Datian asking for flour was given to him by Liu Erhu of Liu Village, so I went to Liu Village to find Liu Erhu, he said that he and Wang Xuewen were classmates, one night Wang Xuewen found him, said that he was asked to do something, asked him what was the matter, Wang Xuewen said: 'A letter was brought from the reservoir construction site, I accidentally lost it, I rewrote it according to the meaning of the original letter, I wrote it badly, you can copy it for me.' Liu Erhu then recopied it for him. After copying it, Wang Xuewen said, "The mayor of the town wants me to go to the city tomorrow to do something urgent, and trouble the old classmate to run for me and hand over this letter to Accountant Li in our village." ’”

Li Minqiang couldn't help but be surprised: "He's borrowing a knife to kill people!" ”。

Wang Xuewen also took out ten yuan to give Wang Erhu, but Wang Erhu didn't ask for it. I suspect that this matter may have something to do with Wang Wensi. Because the matter has not been finally clarified, it has not been told to you. ”

Li Minqiang smiled and said, "No wonder I didn't see you today, it turns out that you went to be a detective." ”

"Detective, I'm here to find out the facts. As the saying goes, a dog that bites people must not be on guard, and a person with a crooked heart must not be careful. I always feel that Wang Wensi is not very decent. ”

"You can't rely on suspicion, you have to have a factual basis."

"You can't contain the fire in the paper, if you don't want people to know unless you do it, I'll go to the town tomorrow to find Wang Xuewen, and I must find out."

Li Minqiang pondered and said, "I don't think you need to check." ”

"Why? Are you afraid that I will offend people? Xiujuan asked puzzled.

"I think, you report this situation to Secretary Tian, it is better for him to come forward, Secretary Tian is also very concerned about this matter."

"Well, I'll listen to you."

"Xiujuan, I have one more thing, Uncle Datian is sick, I discussed it with Yulin and Jianxin, and I want to hear your opinion again."

"What's the matter?"

"I went to our village primary school to have a look, and there is only one teacher in the school, and more than 40 students from the first to the fourth grade are all in the same classroom, and each grade can only attend classes for half a day every day, which will inevitably affect the learning effect."

"yes. If the child does not go to class, and the parents have little control, they will definitely not learn well if they scatter on the street. What do you think? ”

"Although our village is not rich, no matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard we are, we can't be poor in children. I think it's better to have separate classes in the first and third grades in one classroom and second and fourth grades in the same classroom. In this way, there are not enough teachers, and I want Xiaobao to substitute for the school, he is a high school student, and I heard that he has a good academic performance in school. ”

"Do you want Xiaobao to be a teacher?"

"Hmm. I think this has two benefits: one is that students can attend classes throughout the day, which improves the quality of teaching; The second is that Xiaobao can also receive some subsidies to solve his difficulties in life. ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid that the mud won't be able to support the wall, and I'm worried that his hanger can't teach well."

"If you don't see each other for three days, don't look at it as before. You can't look at people with old eyes, people will change, his performance at the reservoir construction site is good, there has been a big change from before, we also have to create a good environment for him. He lives alone, life is too hard, I am going to take out a little from my transfer fee to buy him a few pieces of furniture, paint the house, he also has to find a daughter-in-law! ”

Yang Xiujuan smiled and said, "I am single, I still care about others, and I laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

"We're all brothers."

Min Qiang looked at his watch, it was already past nine o'clock, and said, "You should go home, or the old man will not worry." ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Li Baiwang went to someone else's house to play cards, Li Xiaoying did her homework at the same school and didn't come back, Song Xiuqin sat alone on the kang in the back room to do needlework, and while she was busy with her work, she thought: Minqiang's marriage is always a piece of my mother's heart, and I talked with the girl in the city for more than a year and blew it again. It's okay to blow it, a woman like this who hates the poor and loves the rich can't have it, the forced husband and wife have a hard life, and the two mouthfuls of the willing are sweet. Thanks to not getting married, people with this kind of thinking can't have a good life even if they get married. But such a big guy always dangles in front of his eyes and can't make a family, he doesn't care, but can I, a mother, not worry about him! She was thinking like this, Minqiang was back.

"Mother, I haven't rested yet."

"Ahh They haven't come back yet. Minqiang, you sit for a while. ”

Li Minqiang sat next to his mother: "Mother, do you have something?" ”

Song Xiuqin asked with a smile: "That girl in the city blew with you, should you consider finding another one?" ”

"Mother, what's the hurry, you see I'm busy all day long, how can I think about it. Besides, there is no suitable one. ”

"What do you think of Xiujuan's girl?" Xiuqin asked with a smile.

"Pretty good, what's up?"

"Can I tell you?"

Li Minqiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No." ”

"Why? You don't like her? ”

"No, there are already people."

"How do you know? I haven't heard of it! ”

"She told me in person, and it can be fake."

"Which village, who?"

"I know! I didn't ask in detail. ”

Song Xiuqin stopped what she was doing and said with a serious expression: "I have to say a few more words, since people have taken a fancy to others, you don't always have to be alone with Xiujuan, you don't have a partner yet, others will gossip when lonely men and widows are together, our countryside is not as open as in the city." ”

"We're talking about work together, nothing else."

"That's not good, you are a cadre in the village, you must pay attention to the influence."

"I see."

"You're so old, you have to think about your own marriage."

"If there is a suitable one, I will consider it, it depends on whether there is fate or not."

"Well, then you go and rest, I'll wait for your father and Xiaoying for a while." As he spoke, he picked up the needlework again.

Li Minqiang left, and Song Xiuqin began to think again: I'm not afraid of not being in the best time, but I'm afraid of mistaking the good time. Minqiang is twenty-eight years old, let alone having a boy and a girl, and now he doesn't even have a partner, he is not in a hurry, I have to worry about being a mother. She thought of Yang Xiujuan again, this child is reasonable and good-looking, who does she fall in love with? I have to inquire, or I have to talk to Minqiang.

In fact, Li Minqiang is also in love with Yang Xiujuan, he not only likes her appearance, but also likes her cheerful, lively, reasonable personality, her charitable heart, and her clear adherence to justice. She is so consistent with her own ambitions, and living with such a person will not only be happy in life, but also be of great help in work. But people already have a target to pursue, how can I insert a lever in the middle? Besides, people don't necessarily like me! Don't look at her usually caring about me and helping me a lot, but that's for work, for the development of Shagang Village, feelings and work are two different things after all. Li Minqiang thought so.

The next morning, Song Xiuqin pushed open the door of Aunt Wang's house.

"What is his aunt up to?"

"What can I do? Find some cloth and make a gown for my little grandson. Xiuqin, sit down, you see the chaos in my house. Second Aunt Wang said as she cleaned up the mess on the kang.

"Everybody's like this."

Second Aunt Wang asked with a smile: "Xiuqin, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

"You're well-informed and want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" The second aunt was stunned.

"Xiujuan has a partner, do you know?"

"I haven't heard of it! How do you know? ”

"I've also heard what others say, and I don't know if it's true or not. If it does, forget it. ”

"What do you mean......"

"I mean, if she hasn't already, she can't tell us Minqiang."

Second Aunt Wang smiled and said, "You are really worried about being a mother." ”

"His second aunt, don't talk about this, do you think they can do it?"

"Talented men and women, they are quite a good match, but I don't know if Xiujuan's girl really has a goal." After pondering for a while, he said, "If a family has a hundred women who ask, I will ask if she has it." ”

"Thank you then."

"Thank you, I'm not an outsider."

Second Aunt Wang is also an anxious child, and as soon as Xiuqin told her, she went to Yang Lishan's house.

"Is Jin Yu at home?"

"Her second aunt, come into the house quickly." Cui Jinyu came out of the house and said.

Aunt Wang entered the house, looked at it and said, "Are you home alone?" ”

Tateyama went to the orchard, and Xiujuan was on her grandfather's side. What's wrong with you? ”

Aunt Wang said: "It's nothing, come and sit and chat together, I'm very bored at home alone." I heard that our girl Xiujuan has a partner? ”

Cui Jinyu smiled and said, "No, I'm worried about this all day long, this girl is in her twenties, and I'm not in a hurry." Last month, her second aunt introduced her to one, the young man was two years older than Xiujuan, he worked at the county cultural center, and the photos were also brought, and he looked quite energetic, but this girl was unwilling to live or die. ”

"I heard she found herself."

"Sensei listened to other people's nonsense, there is nothing to do, the day before yesterday I asked her if she was in a hurry."

Aunt Wang was happy when she heard this, and said, "This woman is easy to find a man, but it is really not easy to find a good man." You say this woman, you can live a lifetime with anyone, and you can have children with anyone, but you may not be happy with anyone. The best time in this life is just a matter of dozens of years, if these decades have not been good, and if they have not understood, this life will not be blind. Isn't that the reason, you say? ”

Cui Jinyu said with a smile: "What you said is right, it is difficult to find a man who is satisfied." ”

"Otherwise, if the girl doesn't look for it, how about I introduce him to one?"

"Thank you so much, how are you?" Cui Jinyu said happily.

"I think they are a good match, it can be said that they are a golden boy and a jade girl."

Cui Jinyu smiled happily: "Look at your praise, who is it, from that village?" ”

"From our village, what do you think of this guy from Qiangzi?"

"Minqiang?"

"Ahh

"Of course it's good, I'm afraid that the people will not want to."

"You discuss it with Tateyama and see what Xiujuan means."

"Sensei discuss, I don't think it's a problem, Xiujuan always talks about how Minqiang is good at home."

"You have no opinion, then I'll talk to Xiuqin again and see if they are willing."

"Thank you."

"What's the hard work, I'm happy to break my leg for the child's business."

Aunt Wang left Yang Lishan's house and came to Baiwang's house happily, and said happily when she entered the door: "Xiuqin, there is a door." ”

Song Xiuqin asked: "Xiujuan has no object?" ”

"Nope. As soon as I mentioned Qiangzi, Jin Yu agreed, but she was afraid that Qiangzi would not want to. ”

"What do you mean by Xiujuan?"

"Xiujuan is not at home, Jin Yu said that Xiujuan is always talking about the good son at home, I think there is a way to do this. You talk to Qiangzi to see what his opinion is, and I'll give Jin Yu a reply. ”

"Okay."

"You're busy, I'm leaving."

"Sit down for a while."

"Don't sit down, you're busy."

As soon as Yang Xiujuan returned home, Jin Yu asked, "Juanzi, are you looking for a partner?" ”

Yang Xiujuan tilted her head and said, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, can I tell you if I find a partner." ”

Cui Jinyu smiled: "I said mile." Then he said seriously, "You are not too young, and you should find a mother-in-law." ”

"Mother, don't worry about this."

"Do you want to stay at home for the rest of your life?"

Yang Xiujuan smiled and said, "Dad, you see what my mother said, she always wants to marry me off immediately." ”

Yang Lishan said: "Don't be smiling, can you not worry about your affairs when you are an adult?" Your mother is talking about the right thing, don't take it seriously. ”

Yang Xiujuan smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to get married?" Don't worry, I'll catch one for you in the near future, okay? ”

Cui Jinyu also smiled and said: "You kid, it's so easy to catch chickens and cats, you don't have a proper shape." Juanzi, when will your second aunt Wang come to our house. ”

"What's wrong?"

"She's going to introduce you to someone."

Yang Xiujuan blushed a little and said, "Mother, didn't I say it, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Cui Jinyu smiled and said, "I'm your mother, I don't worry about who cares about that." Ay! Juanzi, what do you think of this guy Minqiang? ”

"Minqiang?"

"Ahh Your second aunt said that she wanted to introduce him to you. ”

Yang Xiujuan was happy in her heart, and asked with a red face: "What do you mean by Minqiang?" ”

"If you agree, I'll give your second aunt a reply."

"People are strong, but they are not necessarily willing."

Cui Jinyu understood when she heard this, and said, "I'll go to your second aunt." ”

"Mother, you're in such a hurry, don't cook!"

"It's not too late, I'll do it again when I come back." As he spoke, he took off his apron, tidied up his clothes, and went out with a smile.

Yang Xiujuan lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled.
