Finally, at the end of the Spring Festival tea party, the third family hurriedly left.

Song Shuzhi and Xu Jingdong also went back with their two sons, but their grandparents did not allow Xu Zhinian to leave, left her behind, covered her with a quilt made of new cotton, and opened a small stove for her to fry sausages.

She slept sweetly in the warmth and deliciousness - it didn't feel too good to be a group pet.

......

In the village, any news can always go far and wide.

By noon the next day, the entire Xujiagouzi Village, from south to north, already knew that Xu Laohan's family had added a color TV, and this TV set was rumored to be more advanced than that of the village chief Xu Changqing's family.

Usually, Xu Laohan and Xu Lin are low-key, they don't like publicity, and there are not many people who come to visit the door, but today, everyone seems to have made an appointment, and they all come to greet them.

It's said to be a New Year's greeting.,In fact, it's just to rub the TV.,From the first group of people in the morning.,The TV can't be turned off.。

"I look at it, it's better than the village chief's house, you see that this screen seems to be bigger than the village chief's house, old sister, how much does this cost? You have taken out half of your life's money, right?" asked Mrs. Guo with envy on her face.

Xu Lin pursed his lips and said: "If I pay for it myself, I am reluctant to buy this thing, sell some food all year round, and I can change a TV, and I have to tighten my belt without eating or drinking, this color TV was bought by my eldest grandson Zhiqiu, this child, filial piety!"

"Ah, this color TV was really bought by Zhiqiu?" Mrs. Guo had heard of this tone before, but she couldn't believe it, on the one hand, how poor Xu Zhiqiu's family was, on the other hand, which grandson could be so filial, his family had not been lifted out of poverty, so he first hollowed out his filial piety to his ancestors?

Mrs. Guo had a loud voice, and she spread the news all of a sudden, and the people around her sighed and secretly gave Xu Zhiqiu a thumbs up.

"No, isn't Xu Zhiqiu just out of the apprenticeship for less than a month? This month, he can earn a TV? Why don't I believe it? This money can't be from the side, right?"

At this time, Xu Zhiqiu happened to come over to deliver the food, which was all done by Song Shuzhi over there, saving her grandparents from opening the stove again.

As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by neighbors.

"Xu Zhiqiu, tell me, you really bought this TV with money as a carpenter?" asked the horse widow with her arms crossed.

Xu Zhiqiu nodded honestly and said, "Yes, but it's not my credit alone, it's mainly my sister, who helped me come up with the idea." ”

"Whoever came up with the idea, are you doing this job?

"I didn't expect the business to be so good, I think, one step at a time, down-to-earth, you will be able to make money, anyway, I have the strength, be diligent......" Xu Zhiqiu scratched his head, his face was simple, and he was not used to the feeling of being the focus of everyone.

In the crowd, there was a person who looked at Xu Zhiqiu's eyes that had changed-Ge Lihua, someone once introduced her to Xu Zhiqiu, but Xu Zhiqiu's family did not agree, which made her hold a grudge, at this moment, seeing Xu Zhiqiu so capable, her heart was even more uncomfortable, as if she couldn't eat what she wanted to eat.

However, when he thought that Xu Zhiqiu had no object so far, he couldn't help but have hope in his heart again.

She walked through the crowd and quietly grabbed the sleeve of Xu Zhiqiu's clothes.

"Come out, I'll tell you something. ”

When everyone saw that Ge Lihua was so active, they all followed suit.

Xu Zhiqiu blushed, pushed Ge Lihua away, and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it here, after I finish delivering food to my grandmother, I still have to go home, a bunch of work waiting to be done." ”

Seeing that he was so diligent, Ge Lihua's heart was even more happy, she lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her two hands, and said: "I heard that you haven't said that you have a daughter-in-law, aren't I also single......?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zhiqiu's face, Xu Zhiqiu felt very embarrassed, and looked at Xu Zhinian who was watching the excitement on the kang with a pleading gaze.

Xu Zhinian yawned long and said, "Sister Lihua, it's too late for you to say this, my brother already has a girlfriend in the city." ”

"What, you have a girlfriend?"

Xu Zhiqiu wanted to deny it, but felt that he couldn't fit his sister in, so he nodded reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, Ge Lihua didn't believe it at all, so she stomped her foot and said: "Don't make up nonsense and prevaricate, you have only been in town for a few days, how can you get a girlfriend so quickly? Besides, people in the city are above the top, and they can willingly marry to the countryside? If you really have a girlfriend, tell me, what does her family do? What is her name?"

This questioning made Xu Zhiqiu even more embarrassed.

And the villagers all watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and they followed one by one.

In fact, everyone didn't believe it in their hearts, how could Xu Zhiqiu's family find a city girl in such a short period of time, either the city girl was blind, or there was something wrong with it, and it was more likely that this city girl didn't exist at all, they made it up.

"My brother's girlfriend is Li Qinglan from the Xiangyang store in the city. Xu Zhinian sat on the edge of the kang and said while shaking his legs: "If you don't believe it, go to the city to inquire, the owner of the Xiangyang store has only one daughter, her name is Li Qinglan, she is twenty-four years old this year, she has nothing to say about her appearance, character, and family background, she and my brother are in free love." ”

Xu Zhinian said that he had a nose and eyes, and everyone couldn't help but believe it, but Ge Lihua still didn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm going to inquire, I'm going to ask, and if you lie, don't even think of raising your head in the village in the future!" she said, turning and running out.

Xu Zhiqiu was a little panicked, looking at Xu Zhinian, as if asking her what to do next.

Xu Zhinian just stared at the TV screen, smiling and not saying a word.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that all the TV shows were over, and the gang finally dispersed.

Xu Zhiqiu anxiously grabbed Xu Zhinian: "Good Baoya, tell my brother quickly, what should I do? I see Ge Lihua's posture, I must go to Li Qinglan!"

"Brother, what do you think Sister Qinglan will say?"

"What can she say, she must be telling the truth, with me, it's not a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship at all..."

"Yes, brother, then wait, you will know on the third day of the Lunar New Year. ”

"The third day of the Lunar New Year?"

"That's right, when that day comes, it will be able to prove that she doesn't have you in her heart!"

After Xu Zhinian finished speaking, he jumped out to play.

Xu Zhiqiu was confused, but he believed in his sister extremely - as long as his sister felt that this matter was not a big deal, then it would definitely not be a big deal!
