In the afternoon, they were all planning to go back to bed when they saw Mrs. Ding coming to the barbecue restaurant.

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised, but asked, "Why are you here?"

The Ding family's milk tea shop was given as a dowry to the married Ding Ping'an. Ding Pingshun specially prepared it for Ding Ping'an. Later, he opened a shop selling wool and sheepskin. Aunt Ding visited the shop every day, which made it much easier.

Auntie Ding smiled and said, "I want to tell you something." Then she asked, "Is Ankang back?"

"No." Mao Xiaosui sighed, "A letter came from the capital at the end of the year. I don't know where it is now." (Li Ankang went out when he was fifteen and did not come back. He is sixteen this year.)

Auntie Ding nodded, smiled and said, "I want to tell you something."

Mao Xiaosui laughed, "Why are you so polite today."

Sister-in-law Ding also laughed, and then said, "I want to ask Ruyi something, I'm not young anymore."

Li Ruyi was equally surprised and glanced at Mao Xiaosui.

Ding Pingshun is twenty-three this year, and he is always gossiped about in the village and town.

Someone took the initiative to mention this matter to Aunt Ding a few years ago, but Aunt Ding didn't respond, and she hasn't mentioned it all these years. Li Ruyi is now sixteen, so it's no wonder Aunt Ding is anxious.

There was no one in the store at the moment, so Mao Xiaosui pulled up a stool and sat down, asking her directly, "What does smooth mean?"

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I didn't have time to ask." She looked at Li Ruyi, "Ruyi, what do you think? What do you think of Pingshun?"

Everyone knows that Li Ruyi has liked Ding Pingshun since she was a child, but after all, what she liked when she was a child is not necessarily the same as what she liked when she grew up. Aunt Ding was actually a little nervous when she asked this question.

Li Ruyi naturally had no objection and nodded with a blushing face.

Mao Xiaosui said, "Then you tell Pingshun and let him propose marriage and then hire me."

Aunt Ding looked at Li Yunshan, "Yunshan also agrees, right?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "It's better to marry Pingshun than to marry someone else. We can rest assured."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ding breathed a sigh of relief. She came here this time to put things on the agenda. She smiled and suddenly said, "I don't know when Ankang will come back. If you want to marry, he has to be your brother." Appear."

This is indeed a problem. Mao Xiaosui said, "Let's propose marriage first and prepare. Ankang should be back by the end of the year."

Aunt Ding felt relieved and glanced at the busy Shen Guzi and said, "It's time to come back, but we can't delay this girl's life-long event."

Mao Xiaosui: "Pingshun was delayed by Ruyi."

Sister-in-law Ding waved her hand, "The boy is fine. You can marry him if you delay, but you can't delay the girl."

Mao Xiaosui responded with a smile.

They went home after Aunt Ding returned. Li Ruyi's face had been red since Aunt Ding mentioned this.

Mao Xiaosui asked casually, "Why are you so obsessed with Pingshun at such a young age? Does it have anything to do with you that Pingshun didn't get married when he was a teenager?"

Li Ruyi shook his head, "I don't know, but I just like brother Pingshun."

Li Yunshan laughed, "When you were a child... when you were two or three years old, you cried to prevent Pingshun from finding a wife in the future."

Mao Xiaosui: "Maybe she was two years old. She cried when Pingshun got married. At that time, Brother Ding wanted to marry her to Pingsui. But she still held a grudge because of this. She didn't like Pingsui and bullied Pingsui. So…”

Li Ruyi naturally didn't remember. But she does like Ding Pingshun very much.

At first I thought Ding Pingshun was good-looking, gentler than Li Ankang, and could coax people. She couldn't tell what it meant to like him, she just wanted to stick to him. Later, when she was nine years old, Ding Pingshun asked her something.

Ding Pingshun asked her, "Ruyi will grow up to be a big girl in a few years. What kind of person do you want to live with in the future?"

Li Ruyi vaguely knew what he was talking about at that time, so she replied, "I want to live with Pingshun."

Later, Ding Pingshun didn't say anything, he just started to be very nice to her, which was different from the previous ones.

Li Ruyi thought that if the person she liked very much since she was a child also liked her when she grew up, it must be fate.

Auntie Ding might have specifically told Ding Pingshun about this.

Ding Pingshun came to the house the next morning, when Mao Xiaosui was planning to cook.

Ding Pingshun didn't bring anything with him, so he looked at Li Ruyi when he entered the door.

After the matter was revealed, Li Ruyi inevitably became a little more shy and called out "Pingshun."

Ding Pingshun said "hmm".

Li Yunshan was no longer in a hurry to sweep the yard and asked him, "Did your mother tell you?"

Ding Pingshun nodded, "My mother said I'd like to see a good day on the day of appointment, so I'm just here to ask you if you have any requirements?"

Mao Xiaosui looked at Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi read too many words and blurted out, "That must be known to others. You have to come with the betrothal gift and beating gongs and drums..."

Mao Xiaosui didn't know what to ask for. Since Li Ruyi had her own ideas, that was the best.

Ding Pingshun listened carefully. After listening, he said seriously, "I'll try my best." Then he asked, "Where do you want to buy the house?"

The year before last, Ding Ping'an got married and married into a shop. The Ding family has been renting a house these years. Since they are getting married, they naturally have to buy a house and settle down.

Li Ruyi subconsciously said, "Let's buy it here, it's close to my parents."

Mao Xiaosui couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. He gave Li Ruyi a slap and said, "The town is not far away. I can see you anytime you want. Please ask your parents for their opinions on Pingshun."

Ding Pingshun replied, "My parents don't live with me. They just asked me to ask Ruyi."

Mao Xiaosui thought this was good. After all, they didn't plan to live with Li Ankang in the future, so there would be less trouble if they were separated.

But he still said, "In this case, it's better to buy a house for your parents instead of renting it all the time."

Ding Pingshun nodded, "I want to buy it, wait until next year."

Li Ruyi said at this time, "I have money, I can give you money."

Ding Pingshun laughed, "No, keep your money to buy nice clothes."

Mao Xiaosuixin said that she doesn't earn as much as you, but it's still quite a lot. Can she buy beautiful clothes? You are planning to open a store, but she didn’t say anything.

Ding Pingsui generally likes learning but is still studying. The primary school in the town has now grown in size, and the number of teachers has increased from one to four. Although the teachers are not as knowledgeable as those in the county, it is still possible to teach some children in the town to read.

Mao Xiaosui also asked casually, "Does Ping Sui want to take the scientific examination?"

Ding Pingshun smiled, "He entered school late and is not very smart. His master is very strict. He will be beaten if he fails to complete his homework or fail the exam. He is not a child anymore. He has high self-esteem and is unwilling to go. These days, he is I told my mother about this, saying that she wanted to do business with me, but my mother might still want him to come back as a scholar, but she is still hesitating."

Mao Xiaosui: "The exam is difficult."

"Yes." Ding Pingshun said, "Studying is always more promising, it depends on himself."

Mao Xiaosui: "You are very promising this way. It is more important to choose the path that suits you than to choose the path that everyone thinks is right."

Ding Pingshun was stunned for a moment and then laughed again, "Auntie's words are always so heart-warming."

Li Yunshan next to him also gave a short laugh: "Your little aunt is really good at this."

Mao Xiaosui elbowed him and raised his eyebrows, "Am I wrong?"

"Yes." Li Yunshan said immediately.

Ding Pingshun was already used to the interaction between the two, and he just smiled when he saw it.
