"Oh, binary. What a coincidence."

Chen Dazhu seemed oblivious to Huang Eryuan's earlier act of pretending not to see him, and greeted him warmly twice.

Huang Eryuan didn't want to talk to him, so he casually replied, "Yes, what a coincidence," and tried to walk away.

Chen Dazhu felt displeased that he was being disrespectful to him, and deliberately asked, "Why are you leaving as soon as you see me? You're not still holding a grudge about your daughter's failed relationship, are you?"

"How could that be? It's just a meeting, we don't care. Besides, my daughter already has a boyfriend."

What Huang Eryuan really wanted to say was: Don't you have any self-awareness about whether you're still holding a grudge?! If Chen Ermei and Xu Jingui hadn't met on the day their daughter was being considered for marriage, and hadn't deliberately revealed on the day of their engagement that they had also been considered for marriage before, then nobody would care whether they were engaged or not!

Pah! Shameless bastard!

Chen Dazhu was genuinely surprised this time. He really didn't know that Huang Qinqin already had a boyfriend. However, he thought that Huang Qinqin's boyfriend was definitely not as good as his son-in-law, so he congratulated her insincerely, saying, "Then congratulations! If the man is willing to get married, maybe your daughter won't have to go to the countryside."

"Yes, that's why I'm here to exchange some meat coupons. My daughter's boyfriend said he's bringing his parents over for dinner tomorrow. Hehe."

Huang Eryuan deliberately took out the meat coupon from his pocket and showed it to Chen Dazhu, thinking to himself that Chen Dazhu was extremely hypocritical.

What do you mean by "if the man is willing to marry"? It's like your daughter is in a bad position! Your daughter graduated from high school!

"I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I have a ton of things to do when I get back. It's their first time visiting, so we have to treat them well, right?"

Chen Dazhu felt that Huang Eryuan was mocking him because on the day Xu Jingui came to get engaged, his family only bought one jin of meat, but invited dozens of relatives over, and in the end, no one was very happy eating it.

But at this point, all he could do was force a smile and say, "Yes, then you go ahead and get busy, I'll head back now..."

Chen Dazhu kept comforting himself, thinking that Huang Eryuan's son-in-law was definitely not as good as his own son-in-law, and that his eldest son would definitely get better and better after he got a job.

Huang Eryuan is so smug now because both of his family members work, and now both of his sons have jobs.

The more Chen Dazhu thought about it, the more he felt that the world was unfair. Why was it so easy for the Huang family to find jobs, while he was the only one in his family with a job?

We still need to get our second daughter married off as soon as possible. After all, it's awkward to ask about our eldest daughter's job until she's married. But once she's married, she'll be family, and there'll be no reason to be embarrassed to ask.

......

When Huang Eryuan returned home, he was startled to see the damp yard. He asked in a panic, "Why is it so wet? Did the water tank break?"

Chen Zhaodi couldn't be bothered with him. Didn't he see they were washing things? Of course the yard would get wet if they were washing things, and the water tank was broken. How could he even think of that?

Seeing that no one answered Huang Eryuan's question, Huang Qinqin came to the rescue, saying, "Dad, it's okay, we're doing a big clean-up."

"oh oh..."

Seeing that someone was finally paying attention to him, Huang Eryuan quickly went down the steps and handed the meat ticket to Chen Zhaodi.

“I traded two jin of meat coupons with other people, but they didn’t want the coupons. I traded them for two mao (0.2 yuan).

Chen Zhaodi looked at the meat coupons in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief: "Two cents is fine, as long as I can get meat coupons. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if people came tomorrow and there wasn't even any meat."

"Honey, get up early tomorrow morning so we can go grocery shopping early, otherwise we won't be able to buy good meat."

"Okay, Mom, please wake me up when the time comes. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up, hehe."

"Um"

......

When Xu Junhui returned home, he only saw his elderly father. He looked around in the kitchen and asked, "Dad, where are Mom and the others?"

Xu Weiguo said irritably, "All you ever do is look for your mother. I'm a grown man right here, can't you see me? Why do you have to go to your mother for everything? Can't I have my own way?"

"Oh, Qinqin's family said they're free tomorrow and they want us to come over tomorrow at noon. What do you think we should bring with us?"

Xu Weiguo: ......

"Just ask your mom for this little thing. Your mom and Hongxia have already gone to buy the things to take over tomorrow."

Seeing Xu Weiguo's composure last less than two minutes, Xu Junhui shrugged, indicating he was used to it, and squatted down to help him paste cardboard boxes.

Looking at the large pile of cardboard boxes left on the ground, he asked with a headache, "Dad, how many cardboard boxes did Mom bring back? It seems like there's still a huge pile left?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I started this morning and it's still going on now. I don't want to do it anymore. Why don't you talk to your mom and tell her not to take on these kinds of odd jobs anymore?"

“I won’t tell, and even if I did, Mom wouldn’t listen to me. Why don’t you tell her yourself?” Xu Junhui said, feeling helpless.

"Do you think I haven't said it before? Every time I say it, I agree, but next time it happens, I'll still take it."

"The problem is that every time she takes on freelance work, we're the ones who help her with it. I feel more tired during rest than when I'm working a regular job..."

Just as Zhang Yumei reached the door, she overheard Xu Weiguo's last words.

She immediately objected, saying unhappily, "What? Are you so unhappy at home? It's even more tiring than going to work! Then you might as well just stay at the office and never come back!"

Upon hearing her words, Xu Weiguo guessed that she had only heard the second half of the sentence, and quickly explained, "No, that's not what I meant!"
