After Yang Liu and her two sisters finished picking up the lichens below, they moved to another place and picked for a while. Thinking that their baskets were almost full and it looked like it was going to rain, they prepared to go home.

On the way, Yang Nan suddenly said in a gloomy tone, "Liu Liu, sometimes I feel so sorry for Gou Dan'er. How could our Yang family produce someone like Third Uncle?"

My uncle and his father are both hardworking and family-oriented. They are obviously brothers, so why are there such big differences between them?

"But you should put yourself in his shoes. Although Third Uncle is a scoundrel, Goudan is not a bad kid. He is not only sensible but also very hardworking. He will definitely achieve something in the future. The bad bamboo in his family has finally produced a good shoot. We should be happy."

"Well, you have a point. Even if Third Uncle is useless, we are still here. With the support of our two families, Goudan will definitely get better and better in the future." Yang Nan's gloomy mood suddenly brightened up after she gave him this advice.

"Liu Liu, I find that you have changed a lot recently?" Yang Nan tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Yang Liu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her elder sister discovered that she was not the original one?

"Really? What's changed?" she asked calmly.

"I can't explain it specifically, but you're more confident now than before, like a little sun." She came over, took her hand and said affectionately.

"Well, maybe it's because I survived a disaster last time, and suddenly I figured out a lot of things." After saying that, she leaned in front of Yang Nan again, winked and said, "Big sister, do you like the old me or the current me?"

Yang Nan reached out and pinched her cheek, smiling and said, "Whether you were before or you are now, I like you because you are my sister."

The two sisters talked and laughed all the way back home.

Li Qiuhuo was more nervous than Yang Liu and Chu Yue about inviting guests to dinner this time. She had done nothing for the past two days and cleaned the house inside and out. In fact, she was a hardworking and clean person. The house was already very tidy, and now it was really spotless after she cleaned it.

"Mom, please sit down and rest for a while. It's not like any important person is coming. Why are you so upset?"

Seeing her mother holding a rag and about to wipe the window again, Yang Liu hurried over to take what she was holding, supported her shoulders and let her sit on the chair.

"After all, it's Xiao Chu's colleagues who are coming. They are all city people, so they must be more particular. We can't do anything else, but cleanliness and tidiness are the most basic. Besides, didn't you say that someone who works at the town's police station is also coming? He's a big shot, we can't treat him badly." Li Qiuhuo muttered to herself, and wanted to get up and do something.

"Oh, Mom, don't worry. Our house is spotless now. It can't be any cleaner. Besides, they are just coming to our house for a meal, not for the leaders to inspect our work. You don't have to be so nervous."

On the weekend, Yang Guoqing and Li Qiuhuo got up early in the morning to prepare. They had pork and eggs at home, as well as rice and flour. They thought that since it was the first time for the guests to come to their house for dinner, they should make a sumptuous meal so as not to treat them badly.

So Yang Guoqing got up early in the morning and killed another chicken. He used the fresh mushrooms he had picked two days ago and made a perfect chicken stew with mushrooms.

When Yang Liu got up, her mother had already prepared all the dishes. She had assigned the tasks in advance yesterday. She was the chef and her mother helped her. Chu Yue set up the table and chairs and went to the village entrance to wait for Uncle Wang.

The educated youth point, because they had agreed in advance that they would go to Chu Yue's house for dinner today, some of the five of them were happy while others were worried.

Wei Donglai had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He had noticed that since Chu Yue moved back home, not only had his figure become rounder, but his face also looked rosy. It was obvious at a glance that he was fat and plump because of the care he received from his lovely wife at home.

Unlike him, who is single and comes home from work every day to find an empty stove and a cold pot of rice. All he has to eat is steamed buns or leftovers and cold dishes.

Compared with him, he felt that he was really unlucky.

He is obviously a handsome, well-behaved young man, so why is no one interested in him? But this arrogant and cold iceberg of his is lucky enough to marry such a considerate and wonderful person.

It's strange that he can feel balanced. Today, when he has the chance, he must go to that kid's house and give him a good beating.

In the room, Wei Donglai took a cracked mirror and combed his hair again and again, not leaving a single hair behind, as if he was going on a blind date today.

When he first went to the countryside, he didn't bring any hair oil with him, so now he could only go to the kitchen and get some cooking oil to apply it. Although it had a bit of a smell, the effect was still good.

After his hair was done, he changed into a set of half-worn clothes. He wore a red vest on the upper body, a white shirt on the outside, and green overalls on the lower body.

It’s true that the saying “clothes make the man” is true.

The man who usually gets covered in dirt while working in the fields looks really different now after getting dressed up like this. He immediately turns into a spirited and handsome young man.

Zhang Hongwei had an unpleasant argument with Chu Yue last time, and this time Chu Yue didn't ask for dinner personally, but just asked Wei Donglai to bring a message. He felt that the man was insincere, so he found an excuse to go out early in the morning.

Liu Fang had also dealt with those female educated youth early on.

Qin Meixia saw that she had changed into one of the few plaid shirts she owned, and her hair was combed neatly, as if she regarded this matter as something extremely sacred, and she became more and more angry.

Because her grandmother passed away, she asked for a month's leave from the team. When she came back, she heard that Chu Yue had married Yang Liu. At first, she thought they were lying to her, but she believed it after seeing it with her own eyes.

But in just one month, his brother Yue became someone else's. How could she accept this?

In addition, when she was working in the fields, she heard those aunties say that the reason why Chu Yue was willing to marry that woman was entirely because she was shameless. She pestered her brother Yue and used despicable means to force him to marry her.

Moreover, those people also said that Chu Yue didn't like Yang Liu at all at the beginning. He moved to the school the day after their marriage and rarely went home.

But this time when she came back, based on her observations in recent times, she found that it was a little different from what everyone said.

She was anxious to know what was going on and was very anxious.

She went to the school to find Chu Yue several times, wanting to ask him in person, but he refused to even see her.

Today is an opportunity.

But when she thought that if she went to their house for dinner today, it would indirectly acknowledge their marriage, she felt unwilling.
