There are many young people working in the reed pond. The most eye-catching one is Qiao Yonghui. His movements are smooth and nimble. Whether he is digging lotus roots or catching fish, he almost never makes a mistake. Many children on the shore cast envious and admiring glances at him. , he seemed unaware and just concentrated on working.

Song Hongguo couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Huo Minglou asked in a low voice, "Does it look good?"

Song Hongguo blinked and said, "Huh?"

Huo Minglou asked again, "Prettier than me?"

Song Hongguo, "..."

After being stunned for a few seconds, she burst into laughter. There were many people around, and it was not easy for her to act too affectionate in a large crowd, so she followed his example and whispered, "I'm not as good-looking as you, you are the prettiest. "

Hearing this, Huo Minglou was satisfied, but he still said, "I thought, if you really appreciate that kind of heroic appearance, it's not like I can't get into the water."

Song Hongguo raised her eyebrows, "Can you do it?"

Huo Minglou said with a smile, "When I was a child, there was a pond at home. It was not as big as here, but it also had a lot of lotus plants. I often went fishing in the water at that time, so I developed some skills."

Song Hongguo gave him a thumbs up.

Huo Minglou's tone was full of temptation, "Do you want to see me get into the water?"

Song Hongguo said without thinking, "Goodbye, the water is too cold and it is easy to get the root of the disease. You will suffer when you are older."

There were no protective measures at this time, so she had to grit her teeth and hold on, so only young people were allowed to get into the water. She couldn't bear the pain Huo Minglou suffered.

"You still feel sorry for me."

"..."

Didn't she just look at Qiao Yonghui a few more times? Why was it like this?

The two of them whispered while staring at the children, fearing that they would be naughty and fall into the reed pond after a fight. After a while, Zhao Yulian came over, and Huo Minglou saw that she had something to say to Song Hongguo, So after a few pleasantries, he made an excuse and walked away.

Zhao Yulian said, "You have good taste. You have found the right person for this. There is no one in the ten villages who is more outstanding and pleasing to the eye than him."

Song Hongguo just smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yulian asked again, "Why is he here today? What's the matter?"

Song Hongguo said, "Nothing, just bringing my nephew over to play."

Zhao Yulian looked at the two brothers who were playing with Ling Zhi and Man Yuan not far away, and said with emotion, "As expected of the children in the army compound, they look energetic and energetic enough to follow their uncle to our place. Wan'er, it seems that I'm quite considerate of my little aunt like you, so I just want to be an outsider."

Song Hongguo said, "Well, they are all quite sensible."

Zhao Yulian suggested, "Then you, who are someone's aunt, should be more considerate. Although I am not related to you by blood, for the sake of men, you have to be nice to them. You have paid the price. There will be a response from the other end, it’s better to combine two good things into one, and neither of you will suffer.”

Song Hongguo nodded, "I understand, Second Aunt."

Replace your sincerity with your sincerity.

"It's good to understand..." Zhao Yulian thought that she didn't have any serious elders to teach them about human affairs, so she couldn't help but say a few more words, "I'll bring more lotus roots and fish back later and cook something good for them." Children are always greedy for food. If you catch their appetite, they will be close to you from now on." Song Hongguo smiled and said "Okay", then asked, "Second aunt, Do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhao Yulian said, "I want to ask you something. Your uncle went to see me last night and told me about recruiting workers to build a house. He wanted to ask your cousin Zhenli to go..."

"Cousin doesn't want to go?"

"That's not true. How can you not want to do it when it comes to making money? I just want to ask, is that job really reliable and how long can you do it?"

"It's reliable. I don't know how long it will take to work, because right now, I don't know how many employees have paid to buy houses. The more they buy, the more buildings need to be built, and accordingly, the construction period will be limited."

Zhao Yulian nodded, "Actually, as long as I can work until the end of the year, I'll be content. According to your uncle, if it's only one yuan a day, then by the end of the year, I can save fifty or sixty yuan, and then I can give it to your second cousin." You’ll have enough money to marry a wife.”

"Cousin Zhensheng has a partner?"

"Not yet. I'm helping him look for it. The factory has introduced him to it, but they are very demanding. A gift of one hundred and ten yuan, not to mention buying it, is not enough, but there must be two things to show off. That’s it. The most important thing is that we have to have a house. People don’t want to come and live in our village.”

Song Hongguo considered it and said, "If the person you are introducing to your cousin is a female employee in the factory, then these requirements are not too much. At present, this is generally the market situation."

"I know those people didn't mean to lie, but what are our conditions? I can't afford to serve him. I asked him to find someone from the countryside, but he still didn't want to. He was quarreling with me..."

"Just because you're looking for a partner?"

"No, there is still something about the house..."

Song Hongguo knew her purpose clearly, "Second aunt, the factory has been announcing the construction of a house by itself for several days. As long as the money is in place, construction can start at any time. Even if the second cousin has not become a full-time employee, he has also bought a house." With his qualifications, many young people have booked a house as a wedding room. It is normal for him to have this idea."

Zhao Yulian frowned and said, "That little brat is normal, but the family that has caused trouble has been abnormal recently. Your cousin-in-law is watching me like a thief, because she is afraid that I will secretly give all the money saved at home to your second cousin to buy a house. , she didn’t even think about it, am I just a son? No matter how partial I am, I won’t be able to hold the water levelly. "

"So you do?"

"It's impossible to buy a house. I don't have that much money. I just want to know what conditions and connections are needed if I want to split a house."

Song Hongguo couldn't give her any hope, "Second aunt, the housing shortage in the factory is huge. Self-financed housing can alleviate some of this, but it's still far from enough. If you want to allocate housing according to normal procedures, you'll have to wait." Generally, people are queued up according to their seniority and seniority, or those who have made special contributions to the factory can be given priority."

Hearing this, Zhao Yulian's eyes darkened, "In other words, pointing out your second cousin to share a house will be enough in the past few years, right?"

Song Hongguo didn't say anything, "If I'm lucky, maybe I can pick up points?"

The chance of picking something up was too small. Zhao Yulian shook her head, "It seems that we can no longer count on that. In order to avoid raising your second cousin's heart, it is better to marry someone from the countryside who is not as delicate as in the city."

Song Hongguo's eyes flickered and she didn't answer.

After she left, Huo Minglou came back, followed by several children, all holding lotus roots in their hands. Huo Huaichen was the most powerful, and he could even catch a fish with his bare hands. The fish was quite big, weighing seven or eight pounds. It was heavy, wagging its head and tail, and splashed him with water, but he didn't care.

When he saw her, he shouted happily, "Auntie, let's just eat this fish for lunch, okay?"

"Who gave it to you?"

Ling Zhi took the words and said, "My uncle gave it to me. He said that you helped the village a lot and found jobs for the members. It is appropriate to give you fish and lotus roots. Take these back to eat first. After digging them all, you can give them to others." Give some to your home.”
