Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 281
In the afternoon, after the educated youths went to work, Meng Tao had a serious talk with Jinniu.

Jin Niu confessed with a blushing face that he and Bao Dongmei have actually started to have strange feelings since the New Year. They secretly liked each other in their hearts, but they didn't say it out loud. They usually have a tacit understanding. The two of them knew each other well and secretly rejoiced in the sweet feeling.

Taurus felt that Bao Dongmei was still young, only 17 years old, and he wanted to wait until Bao Dongmei was full before telling Meng Tao, and then asked a matchmaker to make a marriage proposal. It was indeed an unexpected opportunity for Geng Liuju and Geng Caiyue to come to make trouble that day.

In order to protect him, Dongmei revealed her heart in public. He must not let Dongmei stand in front of her. He wants to stand with her.

Bao Dongmei won't come these few days, Taurus is very anxious, muster up the courage to go to Bao's house, Dongmei's mother is not angry at all, she treats him kindly and kindly, Captain Bao punished Dongmei, but she didn't say anything to Taurus , Taurus wants to invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, Captain Bao asked Taurus to ask Taohua first, after all, Bao Dongmei is a few years younger than Taohua, and calls Taohua sister Taohua all day long, suddenly one day she will be her sister-in-law instead, I don’t know Taohua Happy or not.

"The age doesn't matter, as long as you two really like it."

Meng Tao said: "Dongmei is really good. She is hardworking, capable, lively and straightforward. She is chubby and looks festive and cute. I like her very much. She is currently the fattest girl in our village. She will gradually lose weight when she is 20 years old. Yes, Brother Taurus has a good eye."

When Jin Niu heard Meng Tao said that he also liked Dongmei, his mouth cracked until his ears. There were only him and his sister in the Meng family. He married a wife not only to satisfy himself, but also hope that his sister would accept and like it:
"I don't know what to look for, but I think it's nice that this girl is white and fat. I don't want her to be thin, so she looks good."

Meng Tao: "..."

Well, the ring is fat, the swallows are thin, everyone has their own aesthetics, as long as Brother Taurus likes it, she won't talk too much.

However, the fate of the Taurus is also very interesting. In the past and present, the marriage line has been moved at this node, and it is confirmed that it is a person who is destined to marry early.

The brothers and sisters sat and talked for a while, Meng Tao planned to go to Captain Bao's house later, since the matter had been brought to light, and if there were no accidents, they would be in-laws in the future, Meng Tao had to go to see each other, She will not be at home for a long time, and she will go out again in the next two days.

The two discussed what gifts to bring to the door. Taurus suddenly remembered something, went into the house, and came out after a while holding a ball of straw, and put it on the table for Meng Tao to see. It turned out that it was a dozen plantains. The straw is cooked, the cortex is yellow and green, all of them are fat and fat, and they look delicious when they look at the meat.

Jin Niu smiled and said: "This is from the headmaster of Wang Ergou's house. I have eaten it before. It is very sweet. I specially reserved it for you. Try it."

Meng Tao just remembered Jinniu's sick friend, and asked, "You went to Liuzhuang to see Wang Ergou last month, how is he doing now?"

"He was cured! His family had no money to be hospitalized, so he listened to local doctors at home and used folk remedies to eat herbs, and he was cured. Now Er Gouzi can eat and drink, and he can get out of bed and walk slowly... the first few days One day, his parents and sister came to our house in a bullock cart, and gave them these plantains, saying that they came to visit relatives to recognize the door, so that I would have some free time, and then go back to play with Ergou."

"Really? That's really good. I'll try a plantain. Yes, it's really sweet. It's still a white-fleshed plantain. Brother Jinniu, you can eat it too. Take a few to Dongmei's house tonight. Grandma Bao is old and her teeth are bad. Eat this." Soft. I also bought some meat, fish, eggs and sugar to put in the car, and I took some with me.”

"It doesn't need to be too much, we just have to be polite."

On the first day Meng Tao came back to the village, he had to eat dinner with the educated youths. Taurus was the assistant, and Meng Tao was the chef. He didn’t cook too many dishes in the hot weather. He only made four dishes, stewed fish cubes with braised tofu skin, stewed pork vermicelli, Stir-fried water spinach and a melon flower soup are served in large pottery pots. The combination of meat and vegetables is fresh and delicious. Everyone is very happy to eat.

Both Zhou Cuiling and Wang Tiegen came, but unfortunately Jiang Xiaodong and He Huijuan did not come back. They went to live in the commune middle school. The school allocated a dormitory for teachers. Because it is a new school, the teaching staff need to do a lot of preparations for the start of school in September. Well, probably after September, they may have free time to come back and take a look.

After dinner, Qian Xiaoyun and Jiang Limei washed the pots and pans, while Meng Tao and Jin Niu packed up a bamboo basket and went to Bao Dongmei's house with a flashlight.

The Bao family had just finished eating, and it was a bit noisy at this time. The main reason was that there were too many children, three boys and four girls, and the youngest boy was only two or three years old. , parents and grandma are also busy, and they yell a few words when they can't close their eyes. The whole house is so lively that the roof is about to fly.

The brothers and sisters looked in at the gate of the courtyard first, Meng Tao joked with Taurus: "You will have so many babies in the future, the house is so lively."

Taurus scratched his head and said, "Of course it's good."

Whoops, this guy is serious.

However, it is impossible to have seven children, because in the 80s, family planning was implemented. Bao Dongmei is not yet full this year, so they can only get engaged first, and get married next year in 1976. If they hurry up, they can have up to four children.

Bao Dongmei was helping her younger siblings to take a bath in the yard. She felt that there was a flashlight outside the gate of the yard. Looking over, she saw the two of them. She probably felt embarrassed to see Meng Tao, so she asked her older sister to take over, and hid in the house by herself.

Soon Captain Bao, Dongmei's mother, and Dongmei's grandma came out and greeted Jin Niu and Meng Tao to enter the house.

After sitting and talking for a while, Meng Tao said that Brother Jinniu and Dongmei liked each other, so they should be allowed to fall in love and marry independently, but some things need the help of adults to make decisions. I understand, I will rely on Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao to worry about it in the future.

Captain Bao and Dongmei's mother both know Peach Blossom and Taurus, and they know each other well. Knowing that she is telling the truth, they don't have to be polite and don't need to make any detours. Everyone speaks frankly, which is refreshing.

The Bao family believes that Jinniu and Dongmei should first settle down their relationship, that is, talk about the object first, hold an engagement party early next year, and get married by the end of the year.

They are not worried about Bao Dongmei's underage, but because of local customs, brothers and sisters cannot get married in the same year.

Of course Meng Tao and Taurus obeyed the woman and had no objections.

After talking about things, it was late at night, Meng Tao and Jin Niu said goodbye and went home, Bao Dongmei got permission from Grandma Bao, and walked out of the room, usually lively and cheerful, but now she looked a little timid.

Meng Tao smiled and pulled her back, had a conversation with her, and told her to go home to play tomorrow, Bao Dongmei eased up a little, and smiled, she likes Brother Taurus, she yelled out without telling Sister Meng Tao first, really I'm afraid sister Meng Tao will be unhappy.
