Chapter 15 God is really good!
The old lady was carrying a backpack and holding Minghui's hand when she returned home. She heard Lingxi mumbling softly that God was quite kind.
"What, Ling Xier, are you not afraid of God?"
In recent years, because of Pei Fuzhu's outrageous actions, Pei Lingxi, who originally did not believe in the existence of God, began to be very secretive about God, and even worried that if he offended Pei Fuzhu, he would be struck by lightning.
She found it quite strange to hear Lingxi talking about God for the first time.
The old lady didn't mean to ask any more questions, it was really...
In their family, with Pei Bok Joo's publicity, things from God are really not uncommon.
When talking about God, one cannot help but mention Pei Bok Joo, and mentioning Pei Bok Joo brings up bad luck.
The old lady carried the backpack she brought back, lifted the bamboo mat on the wall, and entered Lingxi's small kitchen. "Grandma bought a lot of beef. After dinner, I'll make you some beef jerky."
Hey, beef?
Lingxi was surprised. In her memory, Pei Lingxi seemed to have only eaten this dish when she was very young, when her father was still alive.
"Yes! There was a cow in Gujia Village that fell into a ravine and died. I bought a lot of milk from it."
Beef is really rare these days.
Cows are a labor force and it is not allowed to kill them privately.
I encountered it this time, but I don’t know when the next time will be!
The old lady has been thinking about going to Gujia Village in person these days to find out about the quality of the young man introduced by her aunt.
Unexpectedly, it just so happened that this time when they went back to Gujia Village to sell beef, she would not be conspicuous at all when she went there.
The young man from Gujia Village, his biological father is the team leader, and he himself is a formal worker in the city. He is good-looking and has a good job. He has a good reputation in the village and is a filial and upright person.
In his family, his two brothers and his sister-in-law are all down-to-earth and hard-working people.
The only drawback is that he has a brother-in-law who is lazy and doesn't want to work.
But, they have parents at home, and he has two older brothers, so no matter what happens, it is not the turn of the third son of the Gu family to raise his uncle.
After the family is divided, we will be two families.
Even if the family didn't split up, the young man would work in the city, and Ling Xier would follow him to the city. What the family was like would have nothing to do with her.
The old lady thought about it again and again, and felt that this candidate was really good.
She was just about to have a good talk with Lingxi when she saw Lingxi coming in with a backpack.
Lingxi came over with a smile, "Grandma, I have some pork belly here, please make braised pork for me. It's delicious. I like the braised pork you make the most."
When she just woke up a few days ago, the old lady also made it, but she ate it alone. This time there was more meat and she finally didn’t have to eat it alone.
"Good good."
Her dearest sweetheart Ling Xier wanted to eat, so the old lady naturally agreed, but she came to her senses in an instant.
pork?
Where is it?
She glanced over and saw what was in the basket and was stunned.
"Is this... from a wild boar?"
Encountered a wild boar?
The old lady subconsciously thought that Lingxi encountered a wild boar, thought it was too heavy to bring back, and only cut off a piece of meat and chopped off a leg?
Ling Xier was raised by them and had never lacked for anything, but she was always spoiled.
This is something she can really do.
She didn't care about the lost meat, and pulled Lingxi's arm to look her up and down: "Next time you see a wild boar, just run away. Didn't you say you won't go into the mountains? How can you encounter a big one in the forest?"
Lingxi hurried to comfort him.
"No, no, this was given to me by someone else."
As she spoke, her face turned red and her eyes wandered around, not daring to look at the old lady.
old lady:"……"
!!!
ha?
She was stunned for a while, and finally realized that it was not her illusion. The old lady's face instantly smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"My dear Lingxi, you've grown up. Do you have a boy you like?" She pulled Lingxi up and down and looked her up and down. Seeing Lingxi's face getting redder and redder, she wished she could hide herself and smiled even more happily.
"Oh my, to be liked by our Lingxi, the boy must be good-looking."
Lingxi blinked, ahaha…
Is her attribute of being obsessed with looks so obvious?
By the way, Fourth Brother is really handsome!
The old lady tapped her head and said, "I raised you with my mother, how could she not know you?"
Lingxi smiled, lowered her head and rubbed the old lady's arm, saying coquettishly: "Grandma, please keep it a secret for me, I want to take a closer look..."
"Okay, okay, we need to take a closer look.
What is his family situation, what kind of person is he, will he beat his wife in the future, can he support his family.
I'll help you find out when the time comes, we're not in a hurry."
The more Lingxi listened, the more guilty she felt.
She, she, she, she, she doesn’t know what Fourth Brother’s situation is now!
The old lady had already focused her attention on the backpack. She took out the meat from the basket one by one. She did not notice Lingxi's guilty look at this moment. When she looked at the meat, she felt a little relieved.
Nowadays, bringing two pounds of meat to someone's house can be used as a marriage proposal gift.
Still not shabby at all.
Now, people are so generous as to give a pork leg and five or six pounds of pork belly, and they give it to you for free. So, the young man that Ling Xier likes should be in good condition.
That shouldn't be too bad.
Seeing that the old lady stopped asking questions and took the meat to the well to clean it up, Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't hide her thoughts on her face, and if she said a few more words to the old lady, she was afraid that she would be exposed.
She slipped away quietly and returned to her room, but saw little Minghui, who had been there for who knows how long, winking at her.
Lingxi: “…”
what……
Little boy, what do you mean?
The four-year-old Minghui made a hushing gesture, quietly pulled Lingxi's skirt away from the small kitchen, and then lowered his voice: "Aunt, you are feeling guilty!"
Lingxi: “…”
!!!
She subconsciously glanced towards the small kitchen.
The next moment, there was a sudden pause.
what……
This makes him seem even more guilty!
"Little Aunt Minghui wants to eat gaogao." Little Minghui negotiated with Lingxi, "After eating gaogao, Minghui won't be able to see anything."
Lingxi: “…”
"Then my aunt thanks Minghui!"
"You're welcome." Little Minghui waved his hand seriously.
Lingxi couldn't stop laughing. She held him in her arms and sat on the narrow kang by the window in the outer room. She pulled over the box of snacks, took out two pieces of mung bean cakes, put them on a small plate and handed them to him.
"Don't eat too much, we'll have meat to eat in the evening, Minghui has to save some space for the meat!"
It seems like children can't eat too much of anything.
Little Minghui took the cake and nodded contentedly. His aunt used to only give him one piece a day.
Little Minghui was eating happily when he suddenly thought of something. He said mysteriously in a low voice, "Aunt, grandma went to buy meat today and chatted with many old ladies. She is asking about your future uncle-in-law!"
Grandma seemed quite satisfied."
Minghui is a very smart child. Uncle Pei and Pei Jin started to teach him the Three Character Classic when he was only three years old.
Therefore, he spoke in a very organized manner.
