“Chengcai, Zhuzi, why didn’t you say you were back? You’ve been carrying quite a lot of stuff. Your mother and I would have been better off picking you up.”

"Dad, we just wanted to give you and Mom a surprise."

"Alright, hurry back inside. Your mother is overjoyed to see you. She's been talking about you every day since she knew you were coming back."

"Wife, stop what you're doing and look up."

"Hey, you bunch of rascals, you didn't even say you were coming back. Jianjun, you should tell the kids to put their things down quickly."

"Fine, fine, you're not going to listen to your mother anymore."

"We'll have to prepare some good food later. What would you all like to eat? Start ordering now."

"Mom, let's have hot pot. We've already eaten at the ones in Xia City, this time we want something spicy."

"Okay, okay, we'll do whatever you say. And this juice, we'll prepare it for you too."

The surprise and joy of the child's return kept Tingting smiling.

In middle age, all I want is family happiness. I haven't seen my children this year, and I've noticed they've all grown quite a bit taller.

Before they could finish their conversation, there was a knock on the door.

"Jianjun, who else is here? All the children have come back?"

"Jianjun, Tingting, are you home?"

"Here you are. Go and see Jianjun. Is something wrong?"

As soon as Jianjun opened the door, he saw Wang Pozi, the village matchmaker.

"Hey, Jianjun, all your kids are back! You and Tingting are so lucky. Every single one of your children is so promising."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. Aunt, is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's right, Jianjun, I really have something to say."

"Auntie, why don't you come inside and talk? It's cold outside right now."

"Good, good, good, this is great news today."

When Tingting and Jianjun exchanged a glance, they knew exactly what he was there for, and they felt quite helpless.

"Aunt Wang, have some water."

"Oh, Aunt Wang just used ordinary hot water, who would have thought to add brown sugar?"

This made Jianjun and his family even more satisfied. In her opinion, if it weren't for the fact that so many people in the village wanted her to be their matchmaker…

She can't come; everyone with eyes can see that Zhang Tingting didn't agree to Cheng Cai arranging a marriage here.

She remembered that, but no matter what, too many people had entrusted her with this task, so she had to come.

"Jianjun, Tingting, I've come here, and you should have guessed why."

“Many people in this village have asked me to arrange marriages for them. Your children are all still unmarried.”

"Settle down first, so your mind is settled, then you can develop your career, don't you think?"

"Besides, there are quite a lot of people here. I brought a lot of photos with me. Take a look and see if there are any you like."

"Auntie, now that you put it that way, I understand what you mean."

"But to be honest, my son Chengcai is already engaged in Xia City."

"It's already decided. So, what about your pillars? And the rest of the ones?"

"Mother, I won't look for her."

When Tingting heard Zhu Zi say that, she felt something was wrong. She knew her own child best.

Normally, Zhu Zi wouldn't care and wouldn't even bother with him.

But today's unusual behavior made Tingting guess what was going on.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. To be honest, these children will be staying in Xia City from now on and won't be able to come back."

"We haven't thought that far ahead yet."

"Okay, Tingting, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll head over and get ready."

Before leaving, Aunt Wang finished the brown sugar water on the table in one gulp, then got up and left.

Tingting was exasperated; what kind of trouble was this every day?
