Chapter 880: Conversation at the dinner table (1)
Seeing that both his parents endorsed the character of Mr. Wu and Zhou Mingxuan, Liu Jianjun scratched his head in embarrassment, "You can't blame me for this. I'm just worried that Xiaoxue will suffer."
Rolling his eyes at him, Liu Weihua warned him, "Don't say this again, lest it ruin the relationship between you.
Besides, even if they have that intention, with Xiaoxue's fighting ability, do you think they can accomplish it?
Xiaoxue is not afraid of taking medicine, and she has even less to worry about using strong medicine.
As for using rumors, you have to be able to catch them in the act.
Besides, this is not Xiaoxue's home. If it really doesn't work, we can just get her away. How can those rumors hurt her?
What's more, Xiaoxue has a good relationship with the production team. She has basically done favors for those aunts and uncles who like to spread gossips, and they will not help others to harm Xiaoxue."
"So what do you think about Zhou Mingxuan liking Xiaoxue?
Zhou Mingxuan said that he would confess this to you when he comes back after the holidays." Liu Jianjun asked.
“What else can I do? Like you said, let’s examine this guy first.
Didn’t that kid say he wanted to take care of Xiaoxue on his own? If that’s the case, then let him do it himself.
Could it be that he wants us to come forward and speak well of him in front of Xiaoxue?
He's dreaming. I'm glad I didn't say bad things about him in front of Xiaoxue." Liu Weihua said indignantly.
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she knew that this person was being awkward again, and a smile appeared on her face.
She also said, "Although Mingxuan is a good kid, our Xiaoxue is even better, so there's no need to rush to settle.
Since he said he would work hard to impress Xiaoxue, then it all depends on his own ability.
What should we do? We should find a suitable partner for Xiaoxue and continue looking.
It’s not like our Xiaoxue can’t get married and can only hang herself on this tree.
Maybe we can find someone who is more suitable for Xiaoxue than Mingxuan in the future. There is no need to hang ourselves on a tree."
Liu Weihua smiled when he heard this, thinking that his wife still had the solution.
Who is Zhou Mingxuan? Just because he likes Xiaoxue, does that mean Xiaoxue must marry him?
"My wife is right. Our Xiaoxue is so outstanding. There are many people who like her. There is no need for her to hang herself on a tree.
But as for Zhou Mingxuan, don't be in a hurry to reject him, just keep him hanging for now.
Anyway, he didn't tell us not to tell Xiaoxue about his feelings. We have to impress Xiaoxue ourselves.
Xiaoxue doesn't know about this, so even if they fail to succeed in the future, it won't affect Xiaoxue's reputation.
It's just like looking for a better job while you're still a donkey. Everyone can do that."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun silently lit a candle for Zhou Mingxuan in his heart.
"Brother, it looks like you'll have a hard time in the future."
However, his relationship with Xiaoxue is closer, and he would not be so close as to not distinguish between close and distant relatives and would not be so ungrateful.
He also thought that his mother's idea was good.
Although Zhou Mingxuan's conditions are pretty good, there might be someone better than him.
Given Xiaoxue's conditions, no one is worthy of her.
"Then shall we continue to find a good partner for Xiaoxue in the future?" Liu Jianjun asked tentatively.
Liu Weihua nodded vigorously, "Of course we have to find someone better than Zhou Mingxuan.
Xiulan, you should also tell the eldest brother and his wife and state the conditions.
I just don’t believe that we can’t find a better target than Zhou Mingxuan after all our efforts.”
"Just do it secretly. Don't come in a big way using Xiaoxue's name and ruin her reputation," Wang Xiulan reminded.
"That's natural."
"But should we tell Xiaoxue about finding a partner for her?
From what I heard from Xiaoxue before, I knew she had no intention of finding a partner to marry and was prepared to be single for the rest of her life." Liu Jianjun reminded.
Wang Xiulan frowned, “I’ll tell her about this.
I said before that I would have a good talk with Xiaoxue, but I haven't had the time these days.
You and the boss will be going back to the army soon. After you leave, I will talk to Xiaoxue and make sure she doesn't give up this idea."
Here, the family of three was discussing Liu Jingxue's marriage, while at the dinner table that day, Wu Yunshang of the Zhou family in Beijing also mentioned Zhou Mingxuan's marriage.
At this time, there were only four people at the dinner table: Mr. Zhou, Wu Yunshang and his wife, and Zhou Mingxuan.
It is now the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. After the sixth day of the first lunar month, the other members of the Zhou family left home one after another and returned to their jobs.
Seeing that there was no one else present, Wu Yunshang mentioned Liu Jingxue without worrying about being overheard.
"Mingxuan, your grandpa sent me a letter in December, asking me to help find a partner for Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue is one year younger than you. Her uncle and aunt are trying to find a partner for her. Should you also put finding a partner on your agenda? "
When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he immediately felt that the meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.
He said he forgot something after he came back, and it turned out that he had forgotten this thing.
"Mom, you haven't found a partner for Xiaoxue yet, right?" Zhou Mingxuan asked incoherently, without even bothering to swallow the meat in his mouth.
Zhou Yunting frowned when he heard it, "Mingxuan, swallow the food in your mouth before talking."
After quickly swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhou Mingxuan spoke again, "Mom, you haven't found a partner for Xiaoxue yet, right?"
“I’m picking.
Xiaoxue has been very kind to our family, so I have to find a good partner for her.
I'm looking around for gay men of the right age, and I want to pick the best one to introduce to Xiaoxue."
When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he quickly said, "Mom, please don't find a partner for Xiaoxue."
Wu Yunshang was stunned, and her hand that was originally about to pick up the food stopped in mid-air.
"Why, did Xiaoxue find a partner so quickly?"
But the next second, she denied it herself.
"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't you start hibernating in November? I received the letter in December, and you came back in mid-January, so there was only a month's gap in between.
Could it be that Xiaoxue has found a partner in just one month?"
Wu Yunshang became interested, "Who is Xiaoxue's partner?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the educated youth from the production team?
He can't be a villager from the production team, how can he be worthy of Xiaoxue?
Although I have never met Xiaoxue, it is not difficult to tell from the letters from you and your grandfather that Xiaoxue is the best in appearance, character, and knowledge."
Wu Yunshang frowned and said disdainfully, "It's not that I look down on country people, but how can a country boy who can't even read a single word be worthy of a good girl like Xiaoxue?"
Zhou Mingxuan frowned and said helplessly, "Mom, please stop guessing, Xiaoxue hasn't found a partner yet.
As for the male educated youth in the Red Star Production Team, except for one or two, the rest were all ugly. How could such people be worthy of Xiaoxue?
As for the villagers, just like you said, most of them are illiterate, so how could Xiaoxue be interested in them?"
After hearing what Zhou Mingxuan said, Zhou Yunting couldn't help but laugh and tease him, "Mingxuan, except for one or two, the one or two you mentioned should refer to you and Junhao."
He shook his head and said, "You are just flattering yourself and you don't even blush.
I don’t believe that there are no educated youth in your production team who are better than you.”
As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Mingxuan twice, "You just took after your mother, you have a pretty face, so you can just fool those young girls who are not very experienced in the world.
It’s really hard to describe what’s going on inside.”
