Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Zhang family is sitting together...

The Cheng family was sitting together for dinner, and the news that Cheng Xin was suspected of having a boyfriend quickly spread throughout the team.

Xu Fengxia warmly invited Chen Ying to eat. There were guests at home today, and there were both meat and vegetarian dishes on the table, which was rare.

Cheng Cunzhi went into the kitchen and made scrambled eggs with black fungus, shredded radish meatballs, and cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge.

There were many guests at home today, so Geng Yunye had to worry about her again. Cheng Xin went to the kitchen to make a dish of salted fish stewed with radish and shredded potato pancakes.

Chen Ying had not yet recovered from the extravagant life in her previous life. In the first few days after her rebirth, she could not eat the pig-like food at home, and she had to be ordered around to work. She couldn't stand it and found an excuse to run away to visit her relatives.

She knew that Geng Yunye was rich. In her previous life, Cheng Xin's material conditions were very good after she married Geng Yunye, and she benefited a lot from it.

Chen Ying picked the eggs and put them into her bowl, then wolfed down her meal, showing no sign of girlish reserve at all.

She didn't care that the potato pancake was hot and stuffed it into her mouth while blowing on it.

Xu Fengxia felt distressed when she saw this. "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself. How has your mother been these years?"

Xu Fengxia grew up with Liu Cuicui when she was a child. Their mothers were sisters. Later, Liu Cuicui fell in love with a foreigner and insisted on marrying far away. The two had contact in the early years, but after Xu Fengxia got married, she only heard about Liu Cuicui from her family.

Chen Ying chewed the potato pancake with big mouthfuls: "My mother is fine. She asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. She said she hasn't seen you for many years and she will come to visit in person if she has the chance."

Xu Fengxia thought of her cousin and felt as if she had returned to her youth. "I remember you have an older brother. Is he married?"

Chen Ying paused and swallowed the food in her throat. "My brother is not here yet. My parents are looking for him."

Xu Fengxia, who had just found a date for her daughter a while ago, felt the same way.

"You have to take your time to find the right one. Nowadays people love freely. Doesn't your brother have any girl he likes?"

Chen Ying held the potato pancake in her hand and forced a smile: "My family is not well off, so it's hard to find him one."

It's not just that her conditions are average. Since she has traveled through time, why should she be born in a family that favors boys over girls and sacrifice her marriage in exchange for a dowry for her brother?

Xu Fengxia suddenly remembered something and quickly smiled and invited everyone to eat.

Chen Ying was so busy eating that she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to care about Geng Yunye.

When she turned her attention to Geng Yunye, her emotions were instantly controlled by jealousy.

Geng Yunye did not lose his composure in front of a large table of rich dishes. Instead, he picked up two pieces of fish meat to help Cheng Xin pick out the fish bones. Because he was particular about hygiene, he did not eat a single bite himself, and used all his chopsticks to pick out the bones for Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin put the plot of the novel out of her mind while cooking. One cannot believe everything in dreams. Old people often say that dreams are the opposite of reality.

Cheng Xin was too embarrassed to look up. She used her chopsticks to pick at the fish in the bowl and urged Geng Yunye in a low voice, "You eat too. Stop picking food for me all the time."

How could he be so stupid? He didn't even rush to eat the food on the table. Xiao Lei had already finished them all.

Geng Yunye was about to speak when Chen Ying suddenly said loudly, "Brother-in-law is so good to you. I'm afraid we'll have a wedding banquet soon."

Xu Fengxia quickly interrupted: "How can it be that fast? Your uncle's illness has not been cured yet. We have to wait until he gets better before we can prepare a dowry for your sister."

She was very satisfied with Geng Yunye, but she was not willing to marry her daughter off after just meeting him twice.

Chen Ying deliberately wanted to make Cheng Xin angry and embarrassed in public. She knew that Cheng Xin was thin-skinned and had a strong sense of self-esteem and could not take a joke.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xin did not refute in public. Instead, she echoed her mother's words and warned Chen Ying: "Cousin, please don't make fun of Comrade Geng and me in the future. We both know our limits."

Chen Ying couldn't figure out what went wrong. Cheng Xin was obviously a very twisted and sensitive woman. In the past, she would have dropped her chopsticks and left, leaving behind a question like "Who wants to marry him?" Why was she speaking up for Geng Yunye now?

Chen Ying apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Sister Cheng Xin, I just thought that Brother Geng was really caring towards you, and I thought you two were about to get married."

Cheng Lei wiped the oil stains from his mouth and burped: "If you want to marry my sister, you have to get past me first!"

Cheng Xin threw him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe the oil around your mouth before you speak. You're so dirty. Don't let this pass. You'll be seduced by anyone who gives you something delicious."

Cheng Xin couldn't understand why her brother was such a greedy pig. There was nothing he didn't like to eat. He would stuff hailstones into his mouth, and even when the river froze in winter, he would try the taste of ice.

Cheng Lei scratched his head and said, "Then I will be your backer. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you beat him up."

Cheng Lei's words were full of hidden meaning, obviously intended to intimidate his future brother-in-law.

Geng Yunye smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I am pursuing Comrade Cheng Xin. Don't put pressure on her. She has the right to reject me."

After he said this, everyone present had different thoughts.

Cheng Xin put a big piece of fish into his bowl and said, "Eat it quickly." She quickly covered his mouth and it was so embarrassing to make a solemn statement in front of her family.

Xu Fengxia is even more satisfied with her future son-in-law. Look at this man, he is indeed a retired soldier from the army, and his ideological awareness is very high.

Cheng Cunzhi looked at Geng Yunye with a lofty gaze. It seemed that when he was young, he did not have such sophisticated means to pursue his wife.

Chen Ying put her hands under the table and pinched her palms so hard that they hurt.

Cheng Lei was very angry. He felt that the other party was declaring war on him.

After dinner, Geng Yunye stood beside Cheng Xin to help her clean the table, and Xu Fengxia came over to drive them away.

"Just clean the table, and let Xiaolei wash the dishes."

Xu Fengxia's words were beyond Geng Yunye's expectation. You know, in the countryside, daughters basically take care of all the chores at home, and sons are rarely asked to do housework. Especially things like cooking and washing dishes, which are all done by women by default.

Cheng Xin was used to this. She looked up at Geng Yunye and said, "We have a clear division of labor in our family. My mom and I cook, and my dad and brother wash the dishes. On the contrary, they cook and we wash the dishes. We don't keep idle people at home."

Geng Yunye raised a smile at the corner of his lips: "I understand. Our family will abide by your rules and regulations in the future."

Cheng Xin threw the rag at him and glared at him angrily: "Who wants to follow your family?"

Cheng Xin went to the yard to clean the rabbit's nest. Rabbits are very clean animals and need to be cleaned every day. Moreover, the temperature is high in summer, and if the yard is not cleaned for two days, there will be a smell.

After taking the medicine, Mr. Cheng's cough symptoms were relieved a lot. He would start coughing while holding on to the wall after walking a few steps.

Cheng Lei was squatting in the yard washing dishes, and Cheng Cunzhi called Geng Yunye aside.

"Comrade Geng," he began hesitantly, "I'm a little busy and would like to ask you for a hand."

Geng Yunye said solemnly: "Uncle Cheng, you said that I will try my best as long as I can do it."

Cheng Cunzhi waved his hand quickly, "Hey, it's not a big deal. It's been raining a lot recently and our roof is leaking a little. I want you to help me see where it's broken."

"You should know my physical condition. I wanted to climb up and take a look, but my mother and I disagreed. We have guests coming to our house, and if it rains tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we can't let the guests sleep in the rain with us."

Geng Yunye immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Cheng, I'll go up and check it out right away."
