Chapter 90: Giving away a wife right away?
"Hey, what are you doing?"

When Qu Yinfeng saw Li Guoqiang put a pair of old silver bracelets on her rough and yellowed wrists, she instantly became anxious.

"I happened to see someone selling this silver bracelet when I went to the market today. I thought it would be suitable for you, so I bought it and gave it to you as a gift for your baby's birth!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly explained.

"you"

Qu Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "How do you know that today is my birthday?"

"Actually, this is what Grandpa told me, and he even prepared a baby-birth gift for you!"

Li Guoqiang's expression straightened, and then he spoke seriously.

After saying that, he immediately pulled the dazed Qu Yinfeng into the inner room, then took out something Xu Guangshan had given him before he died, and gently placed it in Qu Yinfeng's hand.

At the beginning, Xu Guangshan just said that his mind was a little confused and he was worried that he would forget about this matter, so he wanted to entrust Li Guoqiang to keep it for him temporarily and remind him when Qu Yinfeng's birthday came.

Later, when Xu Guangshan suddenly passed away, Li Guoqiang suddenly reacted and understood Xu Guangshan's true intentions.

"You old man, you have no conscience. I have worked hard to serve you for so many years, and before you leave, you still want to use this broken thing to fool me. Who are you insulting?"

Qu Yinfeng looked at the puppy made of White Rabbit milk candy in her hand, and her eyes instantly became red.

At the same time, her thoughts drifted to the time when she and Xu Guangshan had just gotten married. After they went to the county town to buy things and were about to go back, they happened to see a small stall making candy figures on the side of the road.

When she saw the sugar figures for the first time, she was instantly attracted by the lifelike twelve zodiac animals, especially the dog, which belonged to her.

Seeing this, Xu Guangshan immediately wanted to buy a candy puppy for her, but when he took out the money, he realized that all the money he brought had been spent.

In desperation, he could only promise to buy it for her when he had the chance in the future.

And this wait lasted for most of her life.

Originally, she thought Xu Guangshan had forgotten about this matter long ago, and even she herself had forgotten about it a little.

But now she realized that Xu Guangshan had actually remembered it all along!
"All right!"

Seeing that Qu Yinfeng wanted to cry, Li Guoqiang quickly spoke to comfort her: "Auntie, today is your birthday and the house is so lively, you should be happier!"

"Otherwise, if someone sees it, they'll think I'm bullying you!"

Hearing this, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, then carefully put the little sugar dog and the old silver bracelet into the kang cabinet.

At this time, there was a noisy sound coming from outside the house.

Li Guoqiang walked out quickly and found that Shang Xiuzhen and others just met Xu Guangfu and others at the gate of the courtyard.

So he hurried forward, greeted everyone one by one, and then took everyone into the house to sit on the kang. At the same time, he also took some food brought by Shang Xiuzhen and others and Xu Guangfu and others to the outer room and put them away.

Nowadays, whether you are going to someone's house for dinner or a banquet, you have to bring your own food or give food coupons.

In this regard, Li Guoqiang was not stupid enough to say no, nor did he let Qu Yinfeng cook only with fine grains. His main idea was to adapt to local customs.

After putting away the food, he was about to help Qu Yinfeng cook, but she drove him into the inner room to entertain the guests. Helplessly, he could only carry a pot of boiling water, bring some bowls in, and pour water for the guests.

Among them, Xu Guangfu and others sat on the southern kang, while Shang Xiuzhen and others sat on the northern kang.

Since the fire pit in Qu Yinfeng's home is relatively large, there is no shortage of seats.

Li Guoqiang first poured a bowl of boiling water for everyone, and then went to get two bowls of freshly fried soybeans, sprinkled a little salt on them, and it tasted so delicious.

"Hey, Qiangzi, it seems like you're living a pretty good life now! But you're still missing a wife who can warm your bed. How about asking Aunt Ma to introduce one to you tomorrow?"

Xu Yu'an reached out and picked up a few fried soybeans and threw them into his mouth. Then, while chewing, he laughed and made a suggestion.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chunmei immediately nodded and agreed, "I may not be able to help with other things, but as for introducing you to a wife, I can promise you that I can find someone that suits your taste."

"As long as you ask, I can send you a wife in the next two days!"

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face with great interest, and her heart was filled with joy.

After all, she had been a matchmaker for most of her life, and she had never tried to matchmake with such a handsome young man!

In the past, she usually went to the girl's house to beg for help, but now if she could bring a photo of Li Guoqiang over, the girl would definitely beg her instead!

"Don't!"

Li Guoqiang saw Ma Chunmei looking at him like a duck, and his heart suddenly tightened. He quickly waved his hand and refused: "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm only 19 years old now, and I'm still several years away from the age of marriage!"

"Harmful!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chunmei immediately said with a look of disapproval, "I thought it was something else! There is no problem with a few years difference in age. Who here doesn't get married at the age of 17 or 18? You can just marry your wife first and get the marriage certificate later!"

Li Guoqiang: “.”

By the way, Ma Chunmei wouldn't want to introduce him to an underage wife, right?

"okay!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's speechless expression, Xu Guangfu quickly waved his hands and said, "Qiangzi is from the city. He has been educated. Whatever he does must comply with national regulations. Chunmei, don't embarrass him."

"Also, I want to criticize you here. Don't keep telling people that marriage age is not important. Since the country has regulations, we must follow them. Don't let people accuse us of following outdated customs!"

After saying this, he glared at Ma Chunmei sternly.

Seeing this, Ma Chunmei suddenly came to her senses, and then nodded hurriedly to admit her mistake, saying, "Yes, yes, Captain, you are right to criticize me. I will pay attention next time!"

When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, he couldn't help but admire Xu Guangfu.

Otherwise, how could he become the team leader?
According to Xu Guangfu's ideological awareness, he would be more than qualified to be a team leader, let alone a commune leader.

However, at this moment he did not notice that Shang Xiuzhen, Shao Ruian and others on the north kang were looking at his close relationship with the brigade cadres with envy and jealousy on their faces.
