It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 272 Lao Xu is a good matchmaker for you!
"That's not a dog, that's a wolf."

Lao Cao glanced back and looked at the living creature following behind him, "This is an old wolf. Look, his mouth has turned white. He was driven out by the wolves because he was too old."

"Oh……"

Sun Jianping looked thoughtfully at the old wolf following the carriage, "This wolf probably contributed a lot to the wolf pack when he was young. When he gets old and is no longer useful, he kicks him out. This wolf pack is also inhumane."

Both Lao Zhang and Lao Cao laughed, "If wolves had humanity, they would not be wolves, but humans."

"Looking at this wolf, I think of my three sons. Lao Cao, tell me, which of the three can support me in my old age?"

"This is a question... you don't know which of the sons you gave birth to can provide for you in old age?" Lao Cao laughed, "Anyway, my son and daughter-in-law are pretty good, and they can definitely provide for me in old age."

"Damn it, you're showing off your daughter-in-law again!" Zhang Ziyi scratched his head with some melancholy, "My wife is pretty good too... But if you can't see that I can't do any work in the future, then I'll pull my legs off the kang and throw her away!"

"If you don't tell me, I still can't remember it. Your wife hasn't come over yet, so why does she come here every now and then?"

"I'm embarrassed to say this about Emma. Liu Si and his wife are scheming. They told Guiying that the married girl threw water and thought she ate too much at home. They encouraged her to come to my house, saying they could Save a lot of food."

When Lao Cao heard this, he burst into laughter, "Lao Xu has secured a good match for you! Why did you choose such a family!"

Zhang Ziyi glanced at the old wolf following the carriage with a frown, and scratched his neck depressedly, "It's true, I have never seen such parents, but I am still very rare for my daughter-in-law, the little girl's hands and feet She is diligent, has a bright eye, and her mother is very fond of children. She said that she has been looking forward to a daughter for half her life, so why not give her a big daughter now?"

"I think that girl is not bad, she is gentle and quiet, but I have to remind you, you are also a cadre now, don't take the lead in doing illegal things, why are you getting engaged at the age of sixteen or seventeen? You have to wait until I’m twenty before I get married and have children!”

"I know this ink stain!"

Lao Zhang yawned and looked at the lush green gauze tents on the roadside, hoping for a good harvest this year!

Then the whole family will be able to have several full meals!
As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they saw the eldest brother, Zhang Fucai, and Liu Guiying, each carrying a large bag of gray vegetables into the courtyard. Zhang Qi hurriedly took it and helped her future daughter-in-law pat away the grass leaves and grass stains on their bodies. Dust said, "Guiying must be tired. Go into the house and have a rest. How can I let you work as a guest?"

"It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired!" Liu Guiying raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead, turned her head and glanced outside, "My dad is back!"

Zhang Ziyi jumped off the carriage, waved to Lao Cao and Sun Jianping, and strode into the yard. Liu Guiying hurried over and called her dad affectionately!

"Hey, good boy, if you have any work, just let your brother do it. Come and stay at home and don't do anything!"

"I'm used to it, I'm not tired anyway." Liu Guiying diligently brought a basin of water, and handed over a towel and soap, so that her future father-in-law could wash his face and cool down.

"Dad, you are so rich, and you still use soap! A bar of soap in our family lasts for a year, and my mother is reluctant to let me use it!" Liu Guiying looked at the yellow-white slippery round soap in her hand. The outline of the petals still remains.

"What? Who is willing to spend that money to buy soap? Your brother Jianping made it yourself. Send me a bag and take a few pieces back when you get home."

Zhang Ziyi smiled heartily and Liu Guiying tilted her head, "Brother Jianping is so stupid, I think he fixed a lot of things in the village!"

"No, he comes from a big city, he is scientific, he is polite, and he is good-looking. If his daughter were to marry him, her ancestral graves would be filled with smoke!"

Mrs. Zhang Qi took a few pieces of wood and stuffed them into the stove outside. The weather was too hot, so she had to take the stove out and put it outside to cook and light the fire. "Master, what can I cook for Guiying today?"

"Mom, there's no need to work anymore. I'll just have a bite with you..." Liu Guiying's face turned red and she hurriedly waved her hand to refuse. Lao Zhang poured the water from the basin into the yard, "Boss, you and Guiying go to your private plot to pick some beans. After the stew is done, I'll go to the river to see if I can fill up two fishes. When the old girl comes, don't make the soup too watery. If you tell me, people will laugh!"

The cry of "old girl" made Liu Guiying feel warm in her heart. With a red face, she pulled a wicker basket and called Zhang Fucai. The two children jumped and ran towards their home. "What did Jianping say? The children here are called childhood sweethearts!"

Zhang Ziyi looked at the two children walking away and laughed.

My son, stupid people have stupid blessings!

He pulled a birch pole, tied a hemp rope to one end, heated a sewing needle red, and bent it into a fishhook. He then found a pole hook from the grass and hung it on the fishhook, and threw off the big fish hook. Long legs, humming a tune and walking towards the river.

As soon as he arrived at the river, he saw Sun Jianping squatting by the river, his eyes staring straight at the rolling river water. The old civet cat from Lao Cao's house beside him also tilted his head and looked at it when he heard the footsteps. It turned its head and glanced, meowing.

"Uncle Zhang, give it!"

Sun Jianping handed him a brown paper bag with a lot of beef jerky in it. Lao Zhang took it, took out one and gnawed on it, "Did you make it in the wool factory?"

"Well, I have a toothache these days and I can't bite." Sun Jianping stared at the river, "Who is it? Captain Hu Laifu, the new guy from Xiaoxishan, came to my house."

"What is he here for?"

Lao Zhang looked surprised, took off his low-soled shoes, knocked the soil inside, put it under his butt, threw the simple fishing rod into the water, and asked.

"What else can I do? Ask Uncle Cao how to organize the production team. The man talks too harshly. I annoyed him, so I went out to fish."

"That person is indeed... slimy... and has an annoying energy to him."

Zhang Ziyi was lying on the ground, looking at the blue tiled sky and white clouds, and yawned, "Jianping, I hear what Lao Cao means, the rice seems to have to be fertilized twice?"

"Well, Uncle Cao is afraid that the rice will not grow well, so he wants to spread the horse manure retting in the spring."

"This old kid is just messing around every day." Zhang Ziyi sat up and looked at the Gulu River flowing eastward in front of him, "How do you think this militia training should be organized? I have no clue now."

"Didn't the superiors issue a militia training manual? It involves training formations, shooting fixed and moving targets, and then cavalry training..." Sun Jianping suddenly thought of a person, "Uncle, if you are afraid that it will not be done properly, I will do it in two days." Go to the wool factory, and you should follow me to find Director Bilige, who was a cavalryman back then."

"Looking for him?"

Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "My child, you don't know. We were both struggling a lot back then. He chased me and I chased him... Jianping, do you know what I did before?"

Sun Jianping turned to look at him and smiled.

"Weren't you a cook before?"

"Yes, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I worked as an apprentice at Hecheng Dafanzhuang. I worked there for three years. Do you know what I did after that?"

Zhang Ziyi asked with a smile.

Sun Jianping turned to look at Erhu Mountain in the distance and smiled again.

　Well, the issue of child brides was very common in rural areas in the past. My family had an aunt who was an aunt. She had no food at home, so she lived with her husband's family all year round. She had not yet married, so her husband's family supported her as a daughter.
