After getting up and having a simple meal at Wallace, Lin Yifeng drove his van straight to Tiexi Village.

Tiexi Village is not far from Makino City; Lao Niao's hometown is Tiexi Village.

Lin Yifeng came to Tiexi Village this time to fulfill his promise and meet the cousin of the old bird of Tiexi Village.

The experienced person had already made a phone call in advance.

When Lin Yifeng arrived at Lao Niao's house in Tiexi Village, Lao Niao's family and his cousin's family were waiting for him.

"Oh dear, oh dear!"

"Xiao Ci's classmate is here!"

"Quick, quick, pour some wine for Xiao Ci's classmate!"

Lin Yifeng asked passersby, and as soon as he parked his van in front of Lao Niao's house, he was warmly welcomed by Lao Niao's family.

The old bird's family was very hospitable, even a little too hospitable. When Lin Yifeng stepped into the old bird's home, the old bird's family offered him food, drinks, and even cigarettes and alcohol.

This kind of setup left Lin Yifeng a little confused. It was his first time visiting Lao Niao's house, and as Lao Niao's classmate, there was no need for such a grand setup.

He's not a leader.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're too kind!"

"You really don't need to be so polite!"

Seeing how warm and hospitable the old bird family was, Lin Yifeng naturally returned to the van and took out a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine.

When he returned carrying his things, the old bird's family saw him and immediately waved their hands:

"Hey, hey, child, you're coming to our house to play, how can you bring things?"

"Take it back, child, take it back quickly!"

"Child, you absolutely mustn't take anything, or we won't let you into our house again!"

The old bird family naturally didn't want Lin Yifeng's things, even if they were very valuable.

Despite all the persuasion, the old bird family insisted on not accepting Lin Yifeng's cigarettes and alcohol, and even insisted that Lin Yifeng stay for a meal. Lin Yifeng had no choice but to agree to stay for a simple meal.

During the meal, Lin Yifeng finally understood why Lao Niao's family was so hospitable.

Firstly, it was naturally because of the old bird's cousin, Wu Pingmu.

The old bird wanted Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng to mentor his cousin. After he called his family about it, his family naturally took Lin Yifeng and Guo Fengsheng very seriously.

After all, both of them were vocational school graduates, and in this era, vocational school graduates were synonymous with top academic achievers.

Secondly, there's the matter of Lao Niao's family, who want Lin Yifeng to persuade Lao Niao to give up on Fangfang.

"Uncle, you mean..."

"You want me to break up this loving couple?"

Lin Yifeng's eyes widened when he heard the second reason.

The old bird's family wants him to stop him from giving up on Fangfang.

"It's not about breaking up a couple, it really isn't!"

"It's Fangfang who's been stringing our Xiaoci along. Xiaoci has liked this girl for five years."

"Xiaofeng, you said it yourself, five years is enough time. Even if you don't get married or have children, there should be some results by now."

"Are you a couple? Do you have plans to get married...?"

The veteran bird's mother clearly understood, and she slapped her thigh, saying, "But Fangfang, oh dear, just won't!"

"He doesn't say he likes me, nor does he define our relationship."

“My son Xiaoci is nineteen years old, which is the age for him to get married and have children. In the village, children his age can already call him Dad.”

“Our Xiaoci is quite well-off, and many people in the village have tried to arrange marriages for him, but this child is stubborn and just won’t agree. He’s determined to have his eye on Fangfang.”

"You think you can just take a liking to someone and expect them to? But it's been five years! Five years! And Fangfang still hasn't confirmed her relationship with our Xiaoci."

The old bird's mother's words were a bit repetitive and verbose, but Lin Yifeng was genuinely shocked after listening to them.

Has the veteran bird liked Fangfang for five years?

Doesn't that mean I've liked her since junior high?

And this Fangfang, has been keeping an old bird hooked for five years?

Lin Yifeng didn't have a deep impression of Fangfang.

He only remembered that the girl was of average appearance and figure, but rather arrogant. She looked down on Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream and didn't want to work for them.

But Lin Yifeng really didn't expect that she would keep an old man hanging for five years.

"Uncle, Xiao Ci has to make her own decisions about her relationship. I can only say that I'll try to persuade her, but whether she'll listen or not, I don't know!"

Lam Yat-fung has never liked interfering in other people's relationships, especially theirs. He prefers to stay out of it whenever possible.

So, Lin Yifeng verbally agreed to the old bird's parents' request, but in reality, he wouldn't do it!

Having verbally agreed to what the old bird's parents said, the old bird's parents felt much more at ease. They kept putting food on Lin Yifeng's plate, hoping that Lin Yifeng could persuade the old bird to give up Fangfang.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Yifeng called Wu Pingmu, the old bird's cousin, aside.

Wu Pingmu, at first glance, doesn't sound like a name a rural person would come up with.

Lin Yifeng thought Wu Pingmu sounded better than the name "Old Bird Wu Ci".

Wu Pingmu was about sixteen years old, similar to Xu Qingyi, but he looked older and had a rough voice. At first glance, Lin Yifeng thought Wu Pingmu was older than him.

This is an honest, simple farmer's son who hasn't had much schooling. He's a bit slow-witted, speaks haltingly, and seems to have never seen much of the world.

Lin Yifeng admired this honest and simple country boy. He admired hardworking, down-to-earth, and diligent young people the most.
