I live in the countryside

Chapter 21 Introduce an object to Ranran
Qiao Churan didn't expect that when she went out, she would run into an alumnus.

She exchanged wechat numbers with Qin Muzhou, pointed out places for him to visit, and then went home humming a little tune.

On the way back, I did not forget to chat happily with Rhubarb and Wangcai.

"How can there be such a coincidence in this world?"

"The first two times we met, I didn't even recognize me at all. Senior brother obviously recognized me a long time ago. Oh, it's really embarrassing."

Rhubarb and Wangcai looked at Qiao Churan with puzzled faces and murmured: "Wow!"

Thinking of Qin Muzhou's praise of himself just now, Qiao Churan felt a little excited again, "Hey! It's all a few years ago, is it still being remembered by others? Why do you think I'm a little vain and proud?"

Rhubarb remained indifferent: "Wow!"

Qiao Churan smiled and licked the dog's head. When she got home, Qiao Yuzhu and Wu Minghai were playing with Lele on the grain drying field in Qiao's yard. The third aunt next door also came to visit when she heard that Qiao Yuzhu was back. , talking with Chen Mei.

Grandma Qiao gave birth to three sons and a daughter. Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao lived in the city. Uncle Qiao went out to work and stayed at home during the Chinese New Year all year round. Only Qiao Zongming and his wife were there, so Grandma Qiao lived with Qiao Zongming's family. .

Seeing Qiao Churan come back, Chen Mei said, "Why did it take me so long to pick a dish? I can go there twice."

Qiao Churan put down the bamboo dustpan, came over with a clean basket, and said while choosing vegetables, "On the way, I met someone from the Agricultural Economics Society who came to investigate. Grandma Wei can't speak Mandarin, so I helped translate it."

"Investigate again." The third aunt glanced at her lips: "I investigate every year, but I don't see anything that can help. I also sell food to buy chickens. With so many people in the family, there is not enough food for a year. How can I sell it?"

"That's right." Chen Mei was also very dissatisfied with the Agricultural Economics Society, "If you want to sell grain, you can just sell it at the rice shop in the town. What else do you want to do with the Agricultural Economics Society? They just want to take a cut, black heart!"

Qiao Churan originally wanted to say with great interest that her senior brother in college worked in the Agricultural Economics Society. Hearing what Chen Mei and the third aunt said, she couldn't speak anymore, so she said sullenly: "It's not as good as you said. Not good, isn’t that also subsidizing chicken seedlings for poor families?”

"It was given by the state!" The third aunt said in a loud voice, "Anyway, I am not optimistic about them. I am torturing people. At the beginning of this year, I also called women from all villages in Wuxi Town. What to do to be laid off and reemployed, let us learn how to do it. Vegetables, who knows how to cook? Is it possible to learn to be a chef in a restaurant in the city? Besides, after learning, where do we cook and go out to work? Someone wants someone who is uneducated? And what about the place at home? , What do children do, what do old people do, isn’t this messing around?”

When it comes to this, the third aunt has a lot of complaints, and Chen Mei is not optimistic.

Qiao Churan listened, and really didn't know how to make an evaluation. She knew that the Agricultural Economic Society wanted to find a way for the farmers in Wuxi Town, but there were many restrictions and the wrong method, so they were so opposed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't figure out how Qin Muzhou would be willing to come to work in Wuxi Town, which was so far away.

On the contrary, the third aunt looked at Qiao Churan who was busy, and suddenly said, "Ranran, will you really not return to the city after the next year?"

After all, she and Chen Mei are relatives, and the third aunt knows a lot.

Qiao Churan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

The third aunt patted her thigh: "It's like this, second sister-in-law, I want to introduce a marriage to Ranran."

Chen Mei was surprised, "Marriage?"

"No! As far as my natal family is concerned, the cousin's son is two or three years older than Ranran. He lived in the county since he was a child. After graduation, he worked in Guangzhou Province. He plans to return to the province to develop after the next year. So far, he has no one. I see that our family Ranran is not the right age, do you want to introduce him?"

As soon as Chen Mei heard it, she became interested: "Really? Tell me about it?"

"Hey, that kid is handsome and filial..."

Qiao Churan heard black lines all over her head, "Third Aunt, I'm not in a hurry!"

Chen Mei retorted: "You're not in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, and don't check when you are, what's wrong with the people you know?"

Qiao Yuzhu, who was teasing her son, was obviously also interested, and came over to join the conversation.

Qiao Churan's expression gradually faded, not to mention that he has no plans to fall in love now, the relationship is too close, and Qiao Churan is not used to it: "Mom, third aunt, I really don't have to worry about it, I don't have any at the moment. This plan."

After finishing speaking, she took the vegetable basket and went to the kitchen. Chen Mei was very angry, and the third aunt was also a little unhappy when she saw that her intentions were refuted: "Ranran is very capable, so I don't like my nephew."

"Nothing, this girl is stubborn!" Chen Mei continued.

Qiao Yuzhu was also in high spirits: "That's right, my sister is used to doing that kind of thing, it's not that she didn't see people so she didn't want to, she got along slowly, just like me and Ah Hai, Third Aunt, when the New Year comes If it’s a holiday or something, you’re going to visit relatives, you just bring someone to show my sister, and if you meet, you can get married.”

Qiao Churan was washing rice and cooking in the kitchen, unaware of their plans outside.

At the lunch table, Chen Mei also mentioned this matter: "Don't refuse so quickly, I heard your third aunt said that it's pretty good, you have a job and some money, you will know people when the time comes."

Qiao Churan opened her mouth to refuse, and Chen Mei put down her words: "At least I've met the person, we'll talk about it later if it works."

Qiao Churan was annoyed: "Why are you so embarrassing? As I said, if you really ask Third Aunt to bring someone here, I will definitely not see anyone. I refuse now. Don't say I will be there."

After speaking, she took the bowl and left, rejecting Chen Mei's persuasion.

"You child!" Chen Mei was helpless.

*
After lunch, Qiao Yuzhu took her husband and son back to the city. After giving birth, she didn't want to go back to her mother's house for the New Year, saying that the child didn't like it.

Although Chen Mei wanted to keep her, she had no choice but to reluctantly send her away.

After seeing off Qiao Yuzhu and his wife, Qiao Churan returned home and saw a message on WeChat, which was sent by Qin Muzhou, half an hour ago, with a photo followed by a sentence: " Is it your house?"

It should be that he passed by during the visit and took a photo of the back of Qiao's tile-roofed house.

Qiao Churan replied immediately: "Yes."

After returning, I feel like chatting with customers, and there is a cute rabbit expression at home.

Just after posting, Qin Muzhou also finished replying: "I just visited a group of people, and I'm leaving the village now."

Qiao Churan sent back an "hmm" emoji.

Over there, Qin Muzhou didn't reply to the message for the time being. When Qiao Churan first joined Qin Muzhou, he hadn't modified the remarks. At this moment, the other party's WeChat name is just a simple "Q", so Qiao Churan clicked in and modified the remarks. , After typing Qin Muzhou's name, he thought for a while, and added the word "senior brother" after the name.

Only then did Qin Muzhou reply: "I just made a call."

This needs to be explained specifically, Qiao Churan smiled, and typed back: "Brother, busy first."

The upper left corner indicated that there was a new message coming in. Qiao Churan exited Qin Muzhou's dialog box, saw that the message was from Gao Tingting and disappeared, saying that she had arrived in the provincial capital.

Qiao Churan felt relieved, and immediately shared with Gao Tingting: "Do you know Qin Muzhou? He is also from Beicheng University."
