Chapter 110 Bai Wen and Bai Wei’s Marriage
In Baijia Village, Bai Youyou's home, since two people in the family were workers, Wang Yanzi stopped going to work and earning work points.
At this time, several old ladies in the village who did not go to the construction site gathered at the door of the Bai family's house and chatted with Wang Yanzi.
"Sister-in-law, your family is still the best. If I had your blessing, I would be so happy.
Look at our village now, who doesn’t know that your children are promising and have become city dwellers and factory workers.
I don’t know how your family raised your Bai Wen and Bai Wei to become city dwellers.
Alas, those little bastards in my family are the same age as Bai Wen and Bai Wei, but they just run around outside all day long. It’s so frustrating every day.”
Wang Yanzi refuted her words with a smile, "Sister, those people in your family are not bad! They are all hard workers, and everyone earns full work points. Throughout the year, your family gets the most grain, and your family is the one that has the most food.
You are still not satisfied! I think you are just worrying for nothing. Look at our village, besides me, who else has a life as good as yours?"
"Haha, isn't there someone like you in front of me? Compared to you, I'm far behind."
Wang Yanzi said proudly, "Why, you still want to compete with me? You probably can't compare, after all, my three children are all good!"
"Yes, yes, just show off with us."
At this time, someone next to him spoke.
"I say you two should stop comparing with each other. Everyone knows that you are living a good life.
Oh, by the way, Sister Wang, how old are your Bai Wen and Bai Wei this year? I see they're not young anymore, but you haven't worried about their marriages. They're not young anymore, it's time for them to get married and have children."
After hearing this, Wang Yanzi's smile faded a little, and she sighed and said:
"Of course I am worried. It's just that these two kids are busy in the factory in the city all year round, so they don't have time to come back and find a partner.
Besides, they might not even like a country girl like me, and the city girls wouldn't like a girl like me from the countryside. It's a difficult situation." Everyone nodded.
Just then, Song Xiaofen came back from the field carrying a basket on her back.
Seeing a group of people at the door, he walked up to Wang Yanzi and said hello.
After Song Xiaofen put down the things on her back, the person who had spoken before pulled Song Xiaofen over and said:
"Xiao Fen, look at how capable your children are. Do you know if they have any girls they like in the city?
I have a few girls who are a perfect match for your Bai Wen and Bai Wei, and I kept them for you."
Song Xiaofen blinked in confusion and said:
“I don’t know about this, they rarely tell me these things.
But last time Xiaowen mentioned to me that there was a female comrade in the factory who took good care of him, and he didn't say anything else.
As for the second child, I haven't mentioned it, and I don't know what he thinks. Anyway, we let the children make their own decisions."
When everyone heard this, they were instantly happy.
One of the old ladies said:
"Oh, since the boss said so, maybe good things are about to happen to your family."
Wang Yanzi was delighted and said with a smile, "I hope so. If it really works, it would be great."
"Look, you are being modest again! Xiaowen said that the girl took good care of him, which means that the girl is interested in him. Since she is interested in him, doesn't it mean good things are coming?" The person who was exchanging compliments with Wang Yanzi patted Wang Yanzi's hand and said with a smile.
As he was speaking, Bai Wen suddenly walked into the yard from outside.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw him.
"Oh, Bai Wen is back."
Everyone was talking and greeting each other.
Bai Wen responded politely, but he was a little confused as to why so many people were gathered at his doorstep.
Bai Wen entered the house, followed by Wang Yanzi and Song Xiaofen. "Xiao Wen, I just heard your mother say outside that there are female comrades in your factory taking care of you. What's going on? Come and tell grandma."
Bai Wen scratched his head and said, "Grandma, he's just a colleague at the factory. We were just helping each other. Don't listen to what my mom said. We haven't even started dating yet, so you can't ruin a girl's reputation."
Wang Yanzi smiled and said, "Xiao Wen, don't take this lightly. If it's really suitable, it's better to get married early while grandma is still healthy. Then she can take care of your children. If you wait until grandma is old and you get married, then grandma won't be able to take care of your children anymore."
"Grandma, what are you talking about? You have to be well." Bai Wen blushed slightly. "Besides, I'm still young, so I should focus on my career first. And marriage is a big deal, and we need to get along with each other before we can know."
Wang Yanzi nodded. "Okay, as long as you know what's going on. But those grandmothers and aunties outside are all worried about your marriage with Xiaowei. No matter what they ask you later, just put the blame on me, your grandmother. I'll protect you."
Bai Wen smiled helplessly, "Okay, I understand, grandma."
Song Xiaofen looked at Bai Wen with a smile and said, "Why didn't you ask someone to tell us when you came back? There's nothing to eat at home. No, I'll go buy some meat now. There's no meat at home today." After saying that, she took the money and hurried out the door.
Even Bai Wen tried to stop her from buying it, but he failed.
At this time, there was another noise outside the door. It turned out that Bai Wei had also returned.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Bai Wei and they began asking about his relationship status.
Bai Wei was frightened by this and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he just wanted to work hard and didn't want to think about getting married for the time being.
Seeing this, everyone did not give up.
Fortunately, Wang Yanzi and Bai Wen went out to rescue him. Bai Wen took him back to the house to rest, while she continued to stay in the yard and chat with them.
"Why are you back? I thought you wouldn't come back today." Bai Wen looked at Bai Wei and asked as he entered the room.
Bai Wei, who was drinking water to relieve his dry mouth, replied:
"Oh! Actually, I didn't plan to come back today. Someone swapped shifts with me, so I had a day off. I came back to see if there was anything I could do at home.
What about you? You have a day off today, but I remember you didn’t have a day off today!
"Oh! I'm also taking a shift like you and going home to see grandma and my parents. By the way, how is your factory doing?"
"It's not bad. Our workshop is very good..."
Bai Wen and Bai Wei were chatting about the latest news in the factory in the house when they suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the yard.
Aunt Zhao, the famous matchmaker in the village, also came. As soon as she came in, she said loudly:
"I heard that the two young masters of the Bai family are back, so I have to join in the fun."
Wang Yanzi hurried over to greet her: "Aunt Zhao, how come you have time to come here today? It's a rare guest. Come and sit down."
Aunt Zhao patted her hands and said, "Sister, I know that your two grandsons have returned, so I'm here to bring you good news.
Big sister, I have two particularly good girls here. They have city hukou and good family education. I’ve reserved them for your family.”
Wang Yanzi's eyes lit up, but then she felt troubled again: "Aunt Zhao, the children are busy with work, I'm afraid they don't have the time to talk about this."
Aunt Zhao waved her hand: "Work is work, and life events cannot be delayed."
Standing by the window in the house and looking at everything outside, Bai Wen and Bai Wei looked at each other, and Bai Wei whispered to Bai Wen:
"Brother, what should I do? It seems I can't hide today."
Bai Wen shrugged helplessly, then said narcissistically, "It can't be helped. We're so popular right now."
Bai Wei: …………, why is his brother so narcissistic now?
At this time, Bai Dayong also came back from the fields. Seeing the lively scene in the yard, he was also shocked. After understanding the situation, he said to everyone:
"Thank you all for your concern for our children's marriage, but it depends on their own wishes. We shouldn't rush it, and we as parents shouldn't get too involved.
Why don't we just go our separate ways today? We'll have plenty of opportunities to chat later."
Everyone thought about it and it made sense, so they gradually dispersed, and the Bai family finally returned to peace.
After entering the house, Bai Dayong exhaled, "You two little bastards, just look at your lifelong event, your house has been almost flattened by matchmakers recently."
Bai Wen said: "Dad, how can you blame us for this? We don't want this to happen!"
Bai Dayong took off one of his shoes and threw it to him. "It's not your fault. If you had just worked harder and found me a daughter-in-law, we wouldn't have matchmakers coming to our house every day."
Wang Yanzi packed up the things in the yard and walked in, then she heard Bai Dayong's words and scolded him, "What's wrong with having a matchmaker come to our house every day? It means that they are both well-off and the girl thinks highly of our family. Do you think there will be no matchmaker coming to our house?"
There are no matchmakers coming to our house because they look down on us and are unwilling to come.”
Bai Dayong touched his head and said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. What are you talking about?"
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Go check on your wife. Why hasn't she returned from the village butcher's shop to buy meat yet? Go pick her up and don't get in my way."
"Hey! I'll go right away. I won't be a bother to you here." Bai Dayong said and ran away.
Not long after Bai Dayong went out, he met Song Xiaofen walking back carrying a piece of meat. When she saw him, she exclaimed.
"Hey, why are you here? Did you see Xiaowen is back?"
Bai Dayong looked at the small piece of meat in her hand and said:
"Go back and buy some more! Xiaowei is back too, so this little section might not be enough for you."
"Oh, really? Then I'll go buy some more. This section really isn't enough."
When the two of them were walking back to the butcher's house, they met the village chief who was going to their house on the road.
The village chief saw them and took out a letter and handed it to them, "Dayong, come here, your daughter wrote a letter to your family. When I went to the city to get something today, I brought it back to your family."
"Really, thank you, village chief, thank you so much." Bai Dayong took the letter and the wrinkles on his face disappeared with joy.
"Well, what are you thanking me for? You guys go and do your work! I'm leaving." After saying this, the village chief waved goodbye and left.
After buying the meat, the couple took the letter and went home happily.
The first thing they did when they got home was to read the letter Bai Youyou wrote to them.
Of course, the glorious task of reading the letter fell on the eldest brother Bai Wen.
Bai Wen unfolded the letter, cleared his throat and read: "Dear Mom, Dad, Grandma, and brothers, I am fine here.
I met a lot of new friends here and learned a lot of new things.”
Bai Wen couldn't help but smile with relief when he read this. "I'm now a teacher at a military elementary school. The salary and benefits are good, and Sheng Zeyan is very kind to me. You don't have to worry about me anymore." When he read this, a warm atmosphere filled the room.
Then Bai Wen paused slightly and said, "Regarding the marriage of my brothers, I think as long as they like each other, there is no need to be too anxious. I will also keep an eye on it here, and if there is a suitable girl, I will introduce her to my brothers." Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Finally, Bai Wennian said, "I miss you all so much. I will go home to visit you during the Chinese New Year with gifts.
I love your Youyou." After reading the letter, the whole family was immersed in longing and happiness. Wang Yanzi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Youyou has grown up and become sensible." Everyone nodded.
Along with the letter came some money, food coupons, and cloth coupons, all of which Bai Youyou gave to her grandmother and parents as a filial gift.
…………
At night, Bai Wen and Bai Wei were lying on the bed chatting. Bai Wei turned over and said to Bai Wen:
"Brother, the enthusiasm of those aunties and grandmas today is really scary. We feel like we are being picked over like merchandise."
Bai Wen smiled and said, "After all, in the village, young men like us who work in the city do attract more attention. But I want to work hard to achieve something first, and then I'll just let marriage take its course."
The next morning, the two brothers got up early to prepare to return to the city. The family sat together for breakfast, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
Wang Yanzi couldn't help but remind him, "You must take good care of yourself in the city, and don't be too resistant to marriage. If you really meet the right girl, seize the opportunity."
"Got it, grandma."
Bai Wen and Bai Wei agreed and set off.
Back at the factory, Bai Wen discovered that his female colleague Xiaoling, who had always taken care of him, hadn't come to work today. After asking around, he learned that she was ill and in the hospital.
After get off work, Bai Wen went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy to visit the hospital.
When Xiaoling saw him coming, a blush appeared on her pale face. At this moment, Bai Wen felt a strange emotion in his heart. He realized that maybe what his family said was right. Sometimes fate comes inadvertently.
