"But what can you guarantee? Didn’t Aunt only find out at the end?" Tao YanZhen originally didn’t want to speak, but seeing her cousin act so indifferent, she was really worried about her.
"That’s because my mom only has eyes for my dad. Sotis even if she senses sothing amiss, she deceives herself. I won’t be like this. I’ll never lose sight of things for a man in this lifeti."
Now Tao YanZhen was at a loss for words; it seed her cousin had already thought things through.
Guodong dropped the family at ho, and Li Yunqiao gave him a reminder before letting him leave.
After the couple had their intimate mont that night, Lu Fengzhen asked, "When do you think Manjiang will be able to get married?"
"Soon, they’ve already been inford, and the mail they send will be registered and very fast.
Let’s go to the building the day after tomorrow when we have a holiday and buy a sewing machine."
"Is it for Manjiang?"
"Yes, giving money to the sister-in-law won’t be accepted, so let’s just give her things."
"Indeed, we can’t let her keep supporting us; I feel quite embarrassed."
Hong Lin and his wife were also discussing this matter. "We’ve got quite a few industrial coupons; let’s give big brother a pair of thermos flasks."
"Sure, are you embarrassed?"
"Yes, Aunt is too kind to our sisters-in-law, and every ti she gives so much fine grain, I’m embarrassed."
"Alright, then we’ll buy two pairs of thermos flasks, and give one to Aunt."
"Alright, let’s do that, and also buy two enal basins."
When Guodong got ho, he saw the light still glowing in Aunt Jiang’s room, knowing she was waiting for him.
He called out from outside the window, got a response, then went to bed.
Zhao Xiaoli lay in Old Yang’s arms, "With how Guodong is, will Uncle Lv be jealous? Sons are still not as good as daughters; I really hope this one will be a girl."
Old Yang also liked girls but didn’t want to put pressure on his wife. "Anything is fine, they’re all our children."
His wife used to want a son, now there’s a son, her mindset has changed, and now she prefers a daughter. Really changeable.
At Li Yunqiang’s house, Liu Cuilan was nagging Xiang Dong.
"Do you have soone you like? Bring them ho for to see."
"No."
"Since you don’t, why are you not interested in Tao? That girl is so good."
Xiang Dong really had no choice. "Mom, she is indeed very good, but she won’t be interested in ."
"Why wouldn’t she be interested in my son? My son has a stable job and can drive a truck and tractor."
"Mom, I think they’re of a big family; they won’t stay in the village. Stop ddling with matters of the heart; it’s embarrassing."
Can’t Mom see that the Tao girl is quite cold to her? Where does Mom’s confidence co from, just because of having a stable job?
It’s simply ridiculous. "Mom, I’ll find a spouse with a formal job in the city in the future, don’t worry about it.
When there’s soone suitable, I’ll definitely bring them back for you to see."
"But then you’ll all live in the city. What about ?"
"There’s Dad at ho and three brothers."
"Your dad ignores , and I’m not close with those three either. When you have a ho in the city, I’ll go live with you."
Xiang Dong nodded; he couldn’t refuse that. If she’s going, she’s going, but when he finds a wife in the future, she needs to be formidable, or she’d be bullied by Mom.
Li Yunqiang listened to his wife’s words outside, sneered a little, and waited to see.
Li Manjiang lay on the bed, feeling quite excited. Although he hadn’t spent ti alone with his wife, she was already his wife, and it wouldn’t take long before they’d be a legitimate couple?
He hadn’t expected that this trip ho would allow him to get married.
Old Li Manjiang may look naive, but he’s actually the most like Li Yunqiao, knowing everything, and always thinking ahead two or three steps.
With a wife from a military family, it’s impossible not to be tempted.
In the future, she will definitely help him; just being given a chance would be enough, he’d work hard.
He’s been away for six years. Of course, he doesn’t hope to return ho; even if he gets an arranged job, he wouldn’t want it.
He likes being a soldier. He likes that feeling of fighting on the battlefield. Of course, he also has pride.
Having a wife, a wife who can help his career, is a dream co true.
Next morning, everyone went to work. Today Li Cunshan took most of the laborers to pick cotton, while the rest went to the threshing ground to thresh corn.
Once the corn kernels are thresh, they dry easily. They’re just trying to submit enough grain for the task.
If the grain depot disagrees, everyone will be given sorghum.
For the sake of the chicken farm, no one would complain.
However, it’s just a last resort.
Li Yungui went to the township again; Xing Mingying read the letter and saw Li Yungui was coming again. "Old Li, the grain depot doesn’t agree to exchange old grain, but they can exchange with this year’s new sorghum."
Li Yungui was very pleased to hear the news. This year we have several tens of thousands of jin of sorghum; after eting the task, we can all exchange for corn. Then everyone gets the old grain.
"Xing Xiangzhang, since that’s the case, we won’t submit our corn at all. We can use sorghum instead."
"You’re quick thinking, alright, we can do that."
Now Li Yungui was satisfied. "Xing Xiangzhang, our village’s cotton yield is guaranteed to be high, so find a way to get us a cotton ginning machine. We’ll gin the cotton ourselves."
"Isn’t it good to co to the township?"
"Xing Xiangzhang, I just feel that everyone’s idle if they’re idle, and here’s the application. You sign it, so we can buy the machinery."
"You, you’ve already prepared in advance. If you can submit more cotton, I’ll decide to have the grain depot buy cotton at a high price, the sa price as public grain, and give you corn."
"Thank you very much, Xing Xiangzhang. Certainly, I’ll submit the top-grade cotton to the governnt, and everyone shares the second and third-grade cotton. After all, planting cotton for a year, everyone wants to add so fresh cotton to their cotton clothes."
"Alright. How much can you submit this year?"
"Approximately ten thousand jin?"
"That much? Nice, very nice." Xing Mingying was genuinely delighted this ti, planning to visit Li Family Village when there’s ti.
Li Yungui, happy, returned ho. Now there’s no worry about corn for next year’s chicken farm. He wonders if they can raise pigs?
Thinking of this, Li Yungui couldn’t sit still, so he went to the field to find Jiang Xinyu directly.
Jiang Xinyu saw the smile on Li Yungui’s face, knowing there must be good news.
"Teacher Jiang, the township agreed to buy our cotton at a high price and sell us corn at a low price."
"That’s good news."
"Teacher Jiang, can we raise pigs?"
"Of course we can. If pigs ate chicken feed, they can be market-ready in a few months, very quickly."
