Chapter 176: Looking for a Husband
If you are interested in him, then you definitely must have a look first, Aunt Cai said with a smile. She knew that a door was available to open. I will ask. He is back on the weekends, so in four days.
Thats fine. You and I will be working hard these days. Lets go and have a look after, Mother Ji said.
Aunt Cai nodded, and told Mother Ji other details about him. The salary is not very high now, but 20 yuan a month should be enough. The school provides accommodation, so the money can basically be saved. Also, being a teacher is an iron rice bowl. He will earn more in the future. Isnt your fourth son also teaching? You should know about it.
Mother Ji nodded.
I asked him if he kept the money or if he took it back to his family, and he said, I am a bit filial to my parents, and I will keep the rest. This young man knows that he should save some money for when he marries his wife, Aunt Cai said with a smile.
This made Mother Ji very satisfied. She wanted to ask her daughter to come back immediately.
However, her expression remained calm, and she said, If he is as good as you say, then the red envelope money will be for you without a doubt.
Why would I do it for some red envelope money? I saw Yunyun grow up. I also hope for the best for her, Aunt Cai said.
Mother Ji liked hearing this.
Although there were many persimmons, the dried persimmons were made quickly. This was because Aunt Cai was experienced, and it was one more worker to help out.
It was going to take a few days for the sugar powder to appear.
Su Danhong didnt know that Aunt Cai actually talked to her mother-in-law. She didnt say anything, but she could see that her mother-in-law was in high spirits. She didnt know if Ji Yunyun would like the guy.
When Mother Ji and Aunt Cai left, Su Danhong brought it up to Ji Jianyun.
Ji Jianyun asked, Is it the second son from Butcher Lis family in Dawan Village?
It seems like it, Su Danhong said. Do you know him?
Ive met a few times, Ji Jianyun said. He studies well and he doesnt look bad. If he ends up with Yunyun, itll be good.
As for Butcher Lis family, it would be great. Ji Jianyun had seen Butcher Lis skills of killing pigs since he was young and he admired it. He also thought that when he grew up, he would learn to kill pigs from him.
After a lot of thinking, he went to join the army.
These were memories from his childhood.
Su Danhong wondered, Will Yunyun like him?
Lets see where fate takes them. Butcher Lis family is a very good family. Aunt Cai wont introduce people casually, Ji Jianyun said.
Su Danhong nodded.
If Ji Yunyun could settle down, her parents would feel relieved. Although Su Danhongs relationship with Ji Yunyun was so-so, it was not to the point where Su Danhong didnt want a good future for her.
Mother Ji and Aunt Cai went in the morning and came back at about noon. Su Danhong saw Mother Jis rosy face when she came back. Mother, how was it?
If it happens, then Yunyun will be blessed, Mother Ji said with a smile.
If Mother Ji was talking to someone else, then she would not be so direct. She would at least be more reserved. However, this was her daughter-in-law, and the one she was closest to, so there was nothing to hide.
She was extremely satisfied with the young man. He was tall and thin, not very robust, but he looked pretty good. Aunt Cai said that he was not inferior to Jianyun, and he had a different disposition from Jianyun. This young man had a strong scholar character, which was developed from how he pursued education.
She knew a lot about that. He taught important third year students in high school, and he was important to the school. It could be said that his future was bright.
There was also Butcher Lis place. At home, there were four fat pigs, as well as many chickens.
In short, the familys situation was also very good. It is now easier to live life, but it was rare to find this kind of family.
And how old were Butcher Li and his wife now? They were just over fifty, so still young.
Butcher Lis family was also very open-minded. They jokingly said to Mother Ji that if their second son married her daughter, she could marry without a dowry.
Mother Ji would definitely prepare a dowry, since she was trying to maintain her reputation. But Butcher Lis stance on it showed how they really felt about it, right?
Considering these conditions, Mother Ji was really satisfied.
Yunyun should be back for New Years. During that time, he will also be on winter vacation. Lets ask him to visit and meet Yunyun, Su Danhong said when she saw her mother-in-law was so satisfied.
Oka! Mother Ji nodded. Ill go to the village committee to make a call first.
Su Danhong knew that she was going to talk to Ji Jianwen. Ji Yunyun most likely went to her fourth brothers place in Jiangshui City.
She had guessed right. Ji Yunyun was indeed in Jiangshui City.
Her fourth brother had bought a place in this nice neighborhood. It was more than 80 square feet, with two rooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, and a very nice balcony.
Those who could buy an apartment in this community all had good family statuses, such as her fourth brother. When he bought the apartment, he borrowed some money from his parents and paid it back. It was only those married women at home who caused trouble about it.
Now, how much has the place gone up? It hasnt been two or three years, and yet its increased by more than half!
Her fourth sister-in-law had good foresight. Ji Jianwens family had settled in Jiangshui City. Later, Yaner would be looked upon highly. Ji Jianwen was nothing like her third brother. Although Ji Jianyun earned some money, he was not as scholarly, and his vision for the future was not as good. What future was there to work at home like him?
Yunyun. Ji Jianwen and Yun Lili came home from work and saw her wandering around downstairs.
Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law! Ji Yunyun greeted them with a smile.
Have you eaten? Ji Jianwen asked.
Yes, I went out to eat dumplings. Right now Im taking a walk. Did you guys eat at school? Ji Yunyun said.
Yes, Ji Jianwen replied.
Yun Lili said, Just now, mother called. *:*: . : *:*
What did she say? They walked up the stairs.
Mother did not say much. She just said to let you stay here and come back with us during New Years, Ji Jianwen said.
Okay, Ill go back then. Ji Yunyun nodded.
Whats going on with school? Why havent you been there? Dont you want to graduate? Ji Jianwen also mentioned.
Its no use getting a lousy diploma. Besides, that school is too terrible for me to attend, Im not interested in studying there. Ji Yunyun frowned.
Who told you not to study hard? You need to apply yourself, Ji Jianwen lectured.
Fourth brother, you dont need to tell me. You tell that to your students at school all the time. Give me a break, Ji Yunyun defended.
Ji Jianwen was really tired. He thought about how his mother was looking for a good husband for her, but he did not care.
