After the two parties sat down and exchanged greetings, they were first led by the intermediaries Yang Huazhong and Li Jia to talk about topics that were personal and personal. This was an entry point that both parties were familiar with and could accept.

Li Wei sat quietly aside, patiently listening to the elders' speeches, and getting up from time to time to refill their bowls of tea.

I don't know how much he listened to the adults' talk, and I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, but there was no hint of impatience on his face.

Yang Yongjin seemed to be chatting with Li Jia and Li Y, but he glanced at Li Wei from the corner of his eye.

Cao Bamei is different. She came here specifically to take a good look at Li Wei with her own eyes.

…

The tea is fragrant, the wine is good, and the people are attractive to each other.

The sun turned to the west, and both parties dispersed with satisfaction.

On the way back, Yang Yongjin drove the car in front, Yang Huazhong sat side by side with him, and Cao Bamei sat in the back car. The three of them talked about the meeting between their parents today.

"Li Jia and Li Yi have a very good attitude and what they say is very pertinent. They should be sensible elders." Yang Yongjin expressed his opinion.

"What can I say about this younger generation, Li Wei? He seems to be quite loyal and honest. He is also hard-working and attentive. He brings us tea and vegetables, and does all kinds of courtesies very well. Even though I talk to his father and his uncle

What he said was a bit boring for his age, and I didn’t see him being worried or impatient, so I think he has a gentle temper.”

"only……"

When Yang Yongjin said this, he paused, tightened his grip on the reins, pursed his lips, and stopped talking.

Yang Huazhong glanced sideways at him, a little surprised.

Cao Bamei in the carriage also heard some clues. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned out half of her body: "Yongjin, go on, do you see something dissatisfying?"

Yang Yongjin thought to himself that Eight Sisters still understand me, and he glanced at Yang Huazhong beside him.

Yang Huazhong said: "Yongjin, if you have anything to say, my third uncle will help you think about it together."

Yang Yongjin laughed dryly: "I don't know if it's because I'm too worried, or because I don't know Li Wei well enough to see it. I also said a few words to him today. Originally, I wanted to ask him about his plans for the future.

, do you want to stay at home and help his father take care of the crops, or do you want to learn a trade, or get some capital to start a small business or something."

"A man is seventeen or eighteen years old. He can't just do whatever his parents arrange. He has to have a plan in his mind. I just want to hear his plan."

Yang Huazhong then asked: "Then what is his plan?"

Yang Yongjin shook his head, "As soon as I asked him, he looked at my naive smile, groaned and couldn't explain the reason. It happened that the tea in my bowl was gone, and he immediately got up to change the tea and water for me.

, which is quite careful and diligent.”

"I wasn't willing to accept it. Later, when the food was served, I took an opportunity to ask again. He looked like that again, as if I had asked him a difficult question to test him. He was squeaking and smiling with a loyal and honest face.

, his father and his uncle answered for him, and said that his aunt's house opened a beef vermicelli shop in the town, where Li Wei helped learn the business, and that Li Wei followed his cousin to fish and shrimp in his spare time, and seemed to know everything.

It’s like I have a hand in it.”

"Later, when the food was served, they took turns toasting to me, so I couldn't ask this question alone. After the banquet was over, I really couldn't fault Li Jia and the other three, but I asked Li Wei alone about his future plans.

I'm still in the dark about this, and I don't know what his truest inner plan is, which makes me a little unsure!"

After listening to Yang Yongjin's words, Yang Huazhong also fell into thinking.

Cao Bamei breathed a sigh of relief, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I was shocked when I saw your embarrassed look just now. I thought Li Wei had done something bad to make you dissatisfied. It turns out it was for this."

ah?"

"Hey, people of their age have parents to help them. As long as they are diligent and can endure hardships, isn't it enough?"

"I am optimistic about Li Wei's character. He is careful and considerate, and he should be able to take care of others."

"Moreover, he is tall and big, has a strong body, eats a lot, eats meat and vegetables, and is strong enough to eat. No matter what he does or learns in the future, he will definitely be good."

"Hey, you women only look at things on the surface. The most important thing for a man is to be responsible and have a plan," Yang Yongjin somewhat disagreed with Cao Bamei's words.

"A small home is like a ship. The man at the helm must have a plan and cannot just drift with the tide with his eyes closed!"

"If Li Wei doesn't have a plan and everything is arranged by his parents, then what will happen to him in his life? He will never be able to surpass his father and his uncle. Are you willing to marry Xiuxiu to a man like that?"

Yang Yongjin asked again in an aggravated tone.

Cao Bamei was a little speechless when asked.

Although she agreed with Yang Yongjin's words that men should be responsible, she also saw Li Wei's image and temper in her eyes. If he could talk to his mother-in-law, he would be a suitable son-in-law.

"I still say the same thing. If I have to choose between temperament and ability, I would still choose temperament." Cao Bamei also raised her voice.

"If a man has extraordinary abilities, but has a bad temper and many tricks, then my daughter will be played around with him when she gets married."

"As a woman, I admit that my vision is narrow and short-sighted, but my wish is also very small. I don't care how prosperous my son-in-law will be in the future. I just want him to truly hold my daughter in his hands and love him, even if he stays in the village and works for the rest of his life.

I also recognize the banker!"

"Besides, what's wrong with the farmers? Our ancestors have been farmers for generations. Yongjin, don't go to a county restaurant and stay there for more than ten years and then drift away and forget where your roots are!"

The more Cao Bamei spoke, the louder and harsher her voice became, and her face became flushed with excitement.

When she said these words, Yang Huazhong had turned his head and looked at her twice in a row, with confusion in his eyes.

And Yang Yongjin directly stopped the carriage, jumped out of the car and went to the side of the back carriage, lifted up the curtain and said loudly to Cao Bamei: "What's going on with you? Did you drink too much at noon? What are you doing? How do you discuss things in such a neat way?

Is it like a quarrel? It goes to the point of questioning me for forgetting my roots, what’s going on with you?”

Cao Bamei blushed, "I don't want to quarrel with you, I just think it's inappropriate for you to say that about Li Wei. Don't think that he has no future just because he hasn't discussed his future plans with you."

Maybe he just has that kind of personality, he knows what he knows and doesn’t like to talk too much..."
