Geng Zhiqin sneered: "It's impossible for the mayor's daughter to marry your son."
Yu Wentao was choked and speechless.
Ye Fan suddenly understood something: "You said it wrong."
Geng Zhiqin was so busy arguing with her mother that she didn't notice her sister-in-law, so she didn't understand: "Wrong?"
Ye Fan: "The daughter of the mayor of the capital city, Laifu, is currently out of reach, but the daughter of the mayor of Tianjin or Hangzhou is really not sure."
"What did sister-in-law say?" Geng Zhiqin was speechless.
Ye Fan was sure that until today, she still thought it was wrong to marry Sun Laifu. Wasn't it explained clearly before? If there is such a reason, then she has to say: "Chang Guangrong took the initiative to bring up the matter between you and Laifu, but don't think that whoever brings it up first will rush to curry favor with the other party."
Geng Zhiqin opened his mouth, sighed again, and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, Sun Laifu is not Chang Laifu."
Does this still mean that she is getting married? So the reason why she has been unwilling to do so is not only because she did not talk about Sun Laifu herself.
You’re in your thirties and you can’t see through it! Ye Fan really didn't expect it, so he stopped being polite: "He is Chang Guangrong's younger brother. His parents are still alive, his father has not retired yet, he is a master's degree, and there is an old doctor who personally takes care of him. The lowest blind date is the daughter of the municipal/party secretary , it’s not your turn!”
This day happened to be Saturday night, and Geng Huihui was also at home. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't it?"
Ye Fan glanced at his sister-in-law who looked suspicious: "It seems you really don't understand the blind date market. Dabao, Sensen, come here and listen!"
The brothers dragged Erbao into the room and listened carefully.
Ye Fan: "Looks or height are not scarce, but looks and height are scarce together. Only one person with looks, height, education and ability can be selected. None of my dozen or so employees are so complete. They have good tempers and clean family backgrounds. , I have no bad habits, and I have a rich and powerful brother-in-law. My brothers and sisters are honest and don’t cause trouble. This kind of person is one in a million!”
Geng Huihui covered her mouth in disbelief.
Ye Fan said: "Huihui, your college and graduate classmates are not in their fifties or sixties but in their twenties and thirties, right? Do you think there is such a complete range?"
Geng Huihui thought about it carefully, some were tall but not good-looking, and some were good-looking but not brother-in-law like Chang Guangrong. There were a few who looked good and tall, but were very aloof, and Geng Huihui didn't even bother to talk to them.
Geng Huihui thought about her high school classmates again. One of them was good-looking and good at studying, but the eldest young man had a bad temper. Her family background is not as good as that of her aunt and uncle, and she has a bad temper than Dabao.
Geng Huihui shook her head: "Sun Laifu has no shortcomings."
Ye Fan: "No, he hasn't started school yet. His parents are from the countryside and have no pension. He doesn't own a house. His eldest brother and sister also need him to take care of them. These are all shortcomings. In two years, his eldest brother and sister will settle down in the capital. His salary has improved, he has his own house, he is not a young boy, he is mature and stable, and the mayor of the capital has taken a liking to him, so the mayor will agree to the marriage for the sake of the Chang family. "
< br>
"Sister-in-law, the more you talk, the more exaggerated you are." Geng Zhiqin said this, but in fact he felt guilty.
Ye Fan could hear the hesitation in her words. He was not as determined as he was when he mocked her mother just now. He couldn't help but sneer: "Exaggeration? Today you break up with Sun Laifu. Tomorrow I will call Cheng Zhenhua and introduce him to the city leader's daughter. She also said You will thank me and Cheng Zhenhua!”
Geng Huihui couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, is it true?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Whoever introduces you to someone in the future, say which professor's son he is, don't think you are not worthy."
Although Geng Huihui has no intention of dating anyone yet, she also wants to know whether her market situation is good: "Auntie, let's talk about it later."
Ye Fan: "The professor's son is also fine, but he must have the same academic qualifications as you, have his own house, and have a good appearance, height and temperament."
Geng Zhiqin couldn't help asking: "Why don't you ask the mayor's daughter to find Huihui like you said?"
Ye Fan: "Do you think she is not as good as the mayor's daughter? The secretary is polite when he sees your second brother, and the mayor must be polite in front of the secretary."
Geng Huihui asked quickly: "Is my father so powerful?"
"Your dad said he was a fitter. Do you really think he is a fitter?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her, "Maybe the principal of your school wouldn't dare to call him Lao Geng when he sees him. Geng Zhiqin, where is your dad?"
Geng Zhiqin couldn't answer.
Yu Wentao didn't expect that she was about to get married. She also disliked Sun Laifu's background, and said angrily: "If you don't live with your third brother and three sister-in-law, you will only have a singing mother. Do you think you are a rich lady? Our eldest daughter is Huihui. , the little daughter is the second treasure!”
Ye Fan: "Xiao Qin, don't think I'm ugly. Chang Guangrong doesn't like you after we are separated. Don't think you have a high degree of education. But you are older. I don't plan to be a DINK, and I will take the birth of children into consideration when looking for a partner. In two years, you will be an advanced maternal age, and you will accidentally kill two people. Many families cannot afford the gamble.”
Huihui agrees with this point: "Sister-in-law, I am ten years younger than you, and you are Sun Laifu. Should I find someone four years older than you or six years younger than you?"
Geng Zhiqin hesitated for a moment: "...It would be too vulgar to only look for someone younger."
Ye Fan: "If you are not vulgar, why don't you find someone who is not good-looking?"
"I——" Geng Zhiqin couldn't refute.
Ye Fan: "It's not like you can't reach people who are younger than you. Why not find someone who is worthy of you? Geng Zhiqin, I'm warning you, if you get divorced because of your problems, we will help Sun Laifu find a new home. As for you, you can take care of yourself!"< br>
Geng Zhiqin looked at her mother, but Yu Wentao didn't wait for her to speak: "I told your sister-in-law that if you feel sorry for her, we will be responsible for helping her find a good one!"
"You - you're unreasonable!" Geng Zhiqin went out and didn't even eat dinner.
Huihui wanted to go behind to see her but Yu Wentao stopped her: "I'm used to it all, I don't know how high the world is!"
The next day Geng Zhiqin returned to the front yard for dinner and no one paid attention to her.
Sun Laifu was on vacation in two days, and Geng Zhiqin asked for leave. The two tried on wedding dresses and suits and went back to Ye Fan's house for lunch. Geng Zhiqin didn't talk much and seemed to be in a normal mood. He didn't dare to embarrass Sun Laifu in front of his sister-in-law and her mother.
Geng Zhiqin went to the kitchen to wash pots and dishes, and Yu Wentao told Sun Laifu, "If Xiaoqin bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will take care of her. Don't spoil her, she was spoiled by me and her father."
Ye Fan's house is small, so if you make a little louder noise in the main room, you can hear it clearly in the kitchen. Geng Zhiqin made sure her mother wasn't trying to scare her and finally stopped.
As for whether she would return to her old ways, Ye Fan didn't know. Anyway, she had put down her words, and if Geng Zhiqin did it again, he wouldn't be able to enter her house. Yu Wentao also agreed.
—
Having said that, when giving money to Sun Laifu, Erbao was outside, and Erbao didn’t know about the money: “Shouldn’t Laifu pay for the wedding dress?”
Ye Fan: "That's what your sister-in-law thinks. Your grandma thought your sister-in-law was not satisfied. She asked your sister-in-law to pay but was afraid that she wouldn't pay when the time came, so she asked her to take out the money and your grandma gave the money to Laifu."< br>
Erbao said: "Laifu's temper will be returned to my sister-in-law."
Ye Fan: "That's their business. As long as Laifu knows it wasn't your grandma, the mother-in-law, who instigated it."
Erbao clicked his tongue: "This is the first time I see my mother-in-law picking herself off so cleanly."
Yu Wentao came in from the outside: "It's not that your sister is ignorant, I don't want to help her clean up the mess."
Erbao hugged her: "Grandma is not angry, not angry. My sister-in-law is not sensible, but we are sensible."
Yu Wentao: "Your sister-in-law is sensible even though she is as old as you. I don't know why, but she secretly talked to the person once and she didn't know her last name."
Ye Fan: "Don't say that Liu Ning led her astray. Liu Ning has known about the virtues of his parents since then, and he is very eye-catching when looking for a partner."
Erbao knew everything about Liu Ning: "Grandma, Xiao Ming said that Liu Ning's daughter-in-law is very powerful. In fact, the two of them have a very good relationship. I have seen them several times, and they had dinner together. Liu Ning and her daughter-in-law met me several times. Sorry.”
Ye Fan: "Liu Ning's wife is also a teacher at your school?"
Erbao nodded: "Junior high school teacher, the school doesn't seem to trust her to teach high school students. Maybe her alma mater is an ordinary university, and the school is worried that high school parents will cause trouble if they find out. By the way, it was his wife who chased him. In fact, there are several female teachers in our school Chasing Liu Ning. My classmates also said that Liu Ning is blind and looking for someone from the countryside. I would think so if I didn’t know that Sister Liu Ning is as good as Wang Aihe.”
Ye Fan pulled Erbao over and said, "Don't pester your grandma."
Erbao: "Grandma, my sister-in-law was scolded by you and her mother that day. She will definitely not dare to look down on Laifu again."
When Ye Fan saw Geng Huihui, he suddenly remembered something: "Huihui, which school is your junior sister currently serving as a substitute teacher?"
Geng Huihui: "Introduce her to Cousin Hongwei? No, it's not appropriate to have one in the West City and one in the East City. I asked her and she felt it was a pity. I will ask other people when I go back to school tomorrow. Is Cousin Hongwei the right one? Twenty-four?”
Ye Fan nodded.
"That's not bad. Almost all the junior sisters graduating this year are in their twenties and thirties. The junior sisters graduating next year are also 21 or 2 years old this year." Geng Huihui said, "We are similar in age, so we can meet next year."
Ye Fan: "You asked earlier. If you want to meet, ask her and you to be your sister-in-law's bridesmaids, and ask Leilei and Hongwei to be the best men for Laifu."
Geng Huihui said quickly: "We can't ask Leilei to come over. What if junior sister doesn't like Hongwei and cousin likes Leilei? It would be embarrassing."
Erbao: "Mom, let my brother be the best man."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "That's okay. Your brother looks like a half-grown high school student when he puts on an adult's suit. People look down on him."
Yu Wentao asked Ye Fan to write a wedding invitation, and she and Ye Fan sent it there another day, just in time to let Ye Fan recognize the person.
Ye Fan called Dabao in to write wedding invitations.
Dabao muttered while writing: "It's really troublesome for my sister-in-law to get married. Erbao, don't be like my sister-in-law in the future."
Erbao: "I am not a little sister who only has romantic affairs in her head. I want to find a leading actor in a Qiong Yao drama."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment: "Er Bao, what did you say?"
Erbao was confused by the question. After thinking about it, Erbao suddenly realized: "Mom, my sister-in-law doesn't really want to marry Laifu. In addition to thinking that Laifu is not good enough for her, she must also think that she is not romantic."
Yu Wentao: "Can romance be a meal? When I was young, people invited me to watch movies every day. If I were married, your uncle would still be a bachelor now."
"My sister-in-law used to love writing, and she seemed to have submitted manuscripts to publishing houses. She was very thoughtful. Besides, my sister-in-law has never suffered any hardships." Erbao said, "For example, my brother and I set up a stall selling couplets together when we were young. Know that love is not important.”
Ye Fan touched his daughter's little head and said, "You can pursue love, and mom will protect you."
Erbao shook his head: "I won't marry unless it's love. My mother can support me, but I can't use our family's money to support others."
Geng Huihui nodded.
Ye Fan: "If you two are like this, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future. No one is perfect."
Erbao said: "I know how to measure, but I can't imitate my sister-in-law."
Geng Huihui said: "My uncle may be worried about my premature love. He has reminded me a long time ago, don't look at what people say, but look at what they do. That seems to be the meaning. I can't remember it clearly for many years in the past."
Ye Fan looked at his son and nephew.
Dabao: "If you want to be a mother-in-law, you have to wait at least fourteen years. Because I plan to find you again in thirteen years when I am thirty."
Ye Fanxin said that if the plan cannot keep up with the changes, it will be useless even if you have already planned it.
"Talk too much! Hurry up and write the invitation."
The next morning, Ye Fan and her mother-in-law took the bus all over the city to deliver invitations. Although the city is full of people, there are actually only about a dozen of them. The next morning, Ye Fan followed her to Yujia Village.
The invitations sent by Geng Zhiqin were combined with those sent by Ye Fan. Ye Fan calculated the number of people and found out that the entire alley had to be paid by the neighbors and the Zhang family. Han Dawei asked Geng Zhiqin when he would get married, but Ye Fan didn't say the specific time.
Seeing her like this, Han Dawei understood that Ye Fan didn't intend to invite him. In fact, he also guessed that the person who was getting married was her sister-in-law, not her children. Except for two uncles' families in Yujiacun, each cousin's family only gives one invitation. Yu Wentao's cousins were not invited. Yu Wentao does not intend to associate with them.
Ye Fan counted the approximate number of people and gave it to Chang Guangrong. Chang Guangrong calculated the banquet he had ordered and found that there were two more tables. Chang Guangrong asked Ye Fan: "If there are two tables left, will I call my hair boy and your wholesaler?"
Ye Fan: "I don't count the children. I definitely want to go if the children don't have class on Sundays. If there are too many people, I will send Erbao, Huihui, Leilei and Sensen home."
Hearing this, Chang Guangrong said: "Forget it. If you ask someone to come to dinner for a happy event, they will have to force it on if you don't charge a share of the meal. If you can't finish the meal, we will pack it, so as not to waste money on others."
As expected, Zhang Xiaoming's stepdaughter wanted to go on October 5th, and so did several children from the next-door neighbor's house. The daughter-in-law of the uncle next door doesn't want the children to go. Ye Fan came out and said, "Go ahead. If there's no seat, I'll sit in your arms."
Dabao pointed at Little Douding: "Ask him to sit in your arms."
The neighbor's uncle's daughter-in-law also wanted the child to have a good meal, so she took the child with her after hearing this.
Chang Guangrong found someone to get a car and acted as the driver himself to pick up Geng Zhiqin from Ye Fan's house. When Geng Huihui saw the car, she ran back to the main room and whispered in her aunt's ear: "You have to ride a bicycle to marry someone else." Before her aunt could say anything, "I know you are noble and would rather sit on a bicycle than a jeep. In my opinion, you I just want this and that, but I don’t dare to fight for it.”
Geng Zhiqin glared at her: "Are you done?"
Geng Huihui nodded: "But I still want to say congratulations. Congratulations, grandma, you don't have to worry about you."
Geng Zhiqin cried angrily.
Aunt Li and others came in to watch the excitement. When they saw this, they advised her not to cry at such a happy event.
Geng Huihui curled her lips and smiled, "Hide your merits and fame deeply."
Before the National Day holiday, Geng Huihui called her junior sister who had graduated and asked her if she wanted to be a bridesmaid. Her school is good, and if she wants to be transferred to a high school near Yu Hongwei's junior high school, she doesn't need to go through the back door through accomplices.
There is a high school at Yu Hongwei's side that is as good as her junior sister's high school. The junior sister thinks it's not worth the trouble, and wants to see what Yu Hongwei looks like, so she has to be a bridesmaid.
Geng Huihui found another junior sister who was transferred to Dongcheng.
When Ye Fan heard about this, he scolded her for her nonsense, and he was not afraid that the two girls would fight each other at the wedding banquet.
Geng Huihui did it on purpose.
Although Yu Wentao has been ignoring her recently, she looks very tired. Now there is a breakfast vendor at the entrance of the alley. Yu Wentao doesn't have to go far to buy breakfast. Erbao can go there. She should be relaxed.
When Geng Huihui thought that there was only one troublemaker in the family, she felt sorry for her sister-in-law.
However, both bridesmaids fell in love with Geng Leile when they arrived at the hotel. Taking advantage of Geng Huihui being alone, the two of them approached Geng Huihui and asked if Geng Leilei was a relative of hers.
Geng Huihui estimated their conditions and said apologetically: "No! He wants to find someone who is a good match."
The two junior sisters asked without giving up: "For example?"
Geng Huihui: "The daughter of a university professor or a teacher, or the daughter of the mayor of our city."
The parents of the two junior sisters are ordinary workers. They can get into college all by themselves, except for their academic qualifications. Only at this moment did Geng Huihui understand why her aunt thought she was qualified for a blind date with the mayor's son. Her overall condition is indeed much higher than that of the two junior sisters.
But the two junior sisters did not give up and looked for an opportunity to talk to Geng Leilei. Geng Leilei is not as smooth as Geng Sensen. In Geng Sensen's words, his brother is a nerd who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
The two of them looked at the blind man seductively.
Seeing this scene, Geng Huihui also realized why her junior sister was not attracted to Sun Laifu in the past. It was because Sun Laifu was a foreigner and she did not like Sun Laifu like her aunt.
Geng Huihui thought of this and looked at her sister-in-law. She saw that her sister-in-law smiled without force and frequently looked at her junior sister, as if on guard against others, so she immediately reported to her aunt: "You woke her up by scolding her."
Ye Fan: "I finally realized that she is an old girl and doesn't have much advantage over your junior sister."
Geng Huihui: "Shall I have dinner with you?"
Ye Fan nodded.
Geng Huihui brought her tableware. Sun Laifu and Geng Zhiqin came to toast, and Geng Huihui asked deliberately: "I haven't drank yet. I am also a guest, so you don't look down on me?"
Sun Laifu wanted to smooth things over, but when he saw Geng Huihui staring directly at Geng Zhiqin, he didn't dare to interfere. Geng Zhiqin stared and asked: "Are you deliberately causing trouble for me? I loved you before in vain!"
Geng Huihui: "Isn't it good for you? Sister-in-law, you can't think like this."
Geng Zhiqin was so angry that he took Sun Laifu to the next table.
Geng Huihui muttered: "I treat myself as a child."
Ye Fan reminded: "It's almost done."
After the wedding banquet was over, Geng Zhiqin cried when he returned to his new house. He didn't dare to say that she had upset the whole family by not looking down on Sun Laifu before. Sun Laifu asked her what was wrong. She said she was angry with Geng Huihui.
The two went to Chang's house the day after the wedding, because Sun Laifu's parents were at Chang Guangrong's house. Geng Zhiqin came to Ye Fan's house for lunch on the third day and was about to leave. Sun Laifu is embarrassed.
Ye Fan deliberately said that Xiaoqin wanted to be alone with him. Sun Laifu and Geng Zhiqin went back.
When the two of them were far away, Yu Wentao said: "You are still angry with us."
Ye Fan: "In the beginning, I just lived alone and bought whatever I wanted. It was comfortable and free, and I definitely felt that it was good to have a small family. When her salary was gone at the end of the month, she became honest."
Ye Fan's family Ye Fan buys steamed buns and steamed buns, and occasionally pays for breakfast. She also asks Zhang Xiaoming to drive rice noodles and briquettes. She also buys daily necessities. Just give my mother-in-law fifty yuan a month.
Geng Zhiqin had to buy everything when he got married. He had to buy all kinds of things in the first month, and he couldn't even cover his two months' salary.
Yu Wentao: "What if I want to save face and suffer the consequences?"
Ye Fan: "Can't you ask your son-in-law when he will come over for dinner on vacation? Will your son-in-law call you daughter when he comes over?"
Sure enough, in mid-November, Sun Laifu took a weekend vacation, and he came over, and so did Geng Zhiqin.
Geng Huihui knew that her mother was worried about her sister-in-law and hoped that her sister-in-law would come back often. This time she did not deliberately anger her. When her sister-in-law was in the main room, she went to the kitchen to help cook. When her sister-in-law went to the kitchen to wash the pots, she went to the second child's room.
Erbao asked: "Aren't you and my sister-in-law still talking?"
"She ignored me," Geng Huihui said. "I did that because she was trying to screw her. I didn't want her to keep screwing her. I didn't want to pay attention to her because she was so ignorant. You know, everything she said to me before was ignored by me. Tell grandma and aunt that she can break up with me.”
Erbao: "Will you tell my mother what I tell you?"
"Do you have a secret?"
Erbao has no secrets, and there is nothing that her mother cannot know, so she changed the subject: "Who are you introducing to Uncle Hongwei?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Huihui was annoyed when it was mentioned. Fortunately, she even mentioned it to her aunt and uncle secretly. Fortunately, I didn't tell Yu Hongwei, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Erbao: "Find Uncle Hongwei someone who works in a bank. You can also find him a nurse. They graduated from a technical secondary school and are not as well-educated as my sister-in-law and your junior sister, so they are arrogant."
"My junior sister is also very down-to-earth." Geng Huihui said as she went to the main room. When she got there, she asked: "Uncle Laifu, are there any nurses in their early twenties who have no partners in your unit?"
Geng Zhiqin heard this in the kitchen and asked her mother: "What does your granddaughter want to do?"
"It's impossible to give a child to Laifuna." Yu Wentao said in a tone that annoyed her and sounded unpleasant. After she finished speaking, Sun Laifu asked: "Is something wrong?"
Geng Huihui nodded: "Find a partner for Uncle Hongwei."
"Cousin Hongwei?"
Geng Huihui: "Yes, the one who will be your best man."
"It's not suitable for him to be in Dongcheng, which is far away from the hospital." Sun Laifu said.
Geng Huihui forgot this: "Yes." Suddenly thought of someone: "Third Aunt!"
Ye Fan had a headache: "Keep your voice down."
"Third uncle's uncle——"
Ye Fan planned: "He is also your father's uncle."
"I forgot, I forgot, there are too many uncles." Geng Huihui said, "Isn't my uncle in Dongcheng? Not far from Uncle Hongwei's school, right? Let my uncle ask."
Ye Fan looked at the sky and saw that it was still early before dark: "Follow me to your aunt and grandma's house?"
Geng Huihui is looking for scarves and hats.
Erbao ran out: "And me!"
Ye Fan: "Geng Dabao, come out and play with your sister."
Er Bao grabbed Ye Fan's arm and refused to let go: "I want to play with mom."
"I don't want to play with you!" Ye Fan took off her hand, and Dabao dragged Erbao to the main room and pointed at his sister, "Just stay here."
Erbao muttered: "Mom is partial and doesn't hurt me."
Dabao: "Er Bao, you are fourteen years old this year, not four. This kind of complaining is useless."
Huihui went to the door and waved to Erbao. Erbao was so angry that he raised his palm and wanted to hit her in the air. Geng Huihui dragged her aunt and ran away. When she arrived at the bus stop, Geng Huihui asked: "Auntie, what if I never forgive me?"
Ye Fan: "Don't force it. Your grandma was closer to her biological sister than you and your aunt when she was little. Now, aren't you still inseparable? Friends break up as time goes by, and relatives also have to talk about fate."
"Just like us and my grandma and grandpa?"
Ye Fan nodded: "People's thoughts will change with social work and life. If there is no conflict this year, it does not mean that there will not be any conflicts in a few years. If Leilei was not deliberately trained by your uncle for a period of time, he and Sensen's brothers would not talk to each other. There are many sentences.”
"Will it get better in the future?"
Ye Fan: "It's possible! Time can dilute everything."
"Then I'll be relieved. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for grandma to be caught in the middle." Geng Huihui has often reflected recently on whether she shouldn't have intentionally caused trouble on her aunt's wedding day.
Ye Fan said, "Don't worry about your aunt's affairs. Didn't you see that today I didn't ask your aunt if she and Laifu had a quarrel, and when did they plan to have a child?"
Geng Huihui thought about it carefully. When her aunt and uncle came over, her aunt was polite, like she was treating the Yu family's uncle: "I want to learn from you."
Ye Fan: "You don't have to study hard. When I was as old as you, I thought I knew a lot and could take care of everything. In a few years, you will know when you are older. If you have advised and warned her, she will still go all the way to the dark side, so I wish her the best." Get your wish.”
