"Really can't do it?"

Ping'an looked at him silently. Looking at his third cousin who was facing him with his back to the light, his eyes shining in the dark, he seemed to understand Zhang Mingyou a little.

Just because someone often pretends to be frivolous doesn't mean he is truly innocent.

Especially in the past few days, it was impossible for him not to notice that his three brothers were neglecting him, but he still came to him and talked about these ideas that were obviously likely to be rejected.

Is Zhang Mingyou stupid?

He is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, otherwise how could he have retired safely.

Whether he was speaking the truth or had other motives, his words did show his genuine affection for us brothers.

Yes, in his heart, they are brothers, and brothers who should unite together.

Maybe I ask too much of outsiders, or maybe I am used to always weighing the other person's purpose and making preconceived assumptions when meeting people or things.

After a while, Ping An looked at him and said, "If you believe me, don't do it yet. Life is long, and there will always be opportunities. Third brother, don't blame me for being harsh. You're too impetuous. I think the most important thing you should do right now is to cultivate your character."

Zhang Mingyou really didn't care. Instead, he remembered that his uncle had always made them practice calligraphy since they were young to cultivate their spirits. He laughed and asked, "Are you still practicing calligraphy now?"

"Yes! It's just not convenient here. At home, they have to write a few pieces of paper every other night for Children's Day." Ping An saw that he had almost finished talking, so he pulled him inside.

He himself was not afraid of the cold, but he was worried that it would be embarrassing for the other person, such a big person, to have a runny nose.

Zhang Mingyou still didn't give up and whispered to him, "Whenever you get a chance, remember to send a message to your third brother. Your third sister-in-law is waiting for news from you."

Ping An couldn't help but slap him. Enough! He guessed Zhang Mingyou must be doing nothing in the barracks, spending all day and night thinking about how to make money and get married. Otherwise, why would he insist on retiring?

"Remember, don't let this slip in front of your two new sisters-in-law."

Ping An glanced at him. "Do you think I am you?"

When the two brothers came in, they were chatting animatedly in the study.

"...Xiao Zuo, you guys must choose summer vacation as your next wedding..."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by getting married next time? Don't scare me. I'm still a young man."

Wuyi nodded seriously in agreement: "Yes, he is still a virgin. Comrade Ma hadn't even spoken a few words to him today, and his face was already red."

Liuyi immediately said, "Oh, that Sister Ma, is that right? Comrade Xiao Zhang, look, your older brothers have already started families and established careers. Why don't you meet my sister and arrange the wedding soon?"

Zhang Mingyou heard this as soon as he entered. Curious, he asked, "Isn't Hai Xing's surname Yang? Why is she surnamed Ma now?"

The brothers who had known that Zhang Mingzuo was secretly dating someone burst into laughter.

Zhang Mingzuo glared at his twin brother in embarrassment and anger, "What horse or sheep? You're not even close to her. I've never even held her hand."

"Tsk~ Is it going to work? If the other party is too picky, forget it."

Everyone present was family, so Zhang Mingzuo didn't hide anything. He smiled wryly and shook his head, "The other party's family is too complicated, we're not suitable. I guess Sister Ma heard about it and is in a hurry to act as a matchmaker."

Zhang Ziwen glanced at him disapprovingly. "Haven't you been dating for a while? How come you only know her details now?"

What can Zhang Mingzuo say?

He had never thought that Yang Haixing's cousin was actually the third daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. He now suspected that Yang Haixing had an ulterior motive in approaching him. Moreover, with his uncle and aunt around, he didn't want to be involved with the Zhou family, especially since Yang Haixing's mother took her daughter too seriously.

She was just an elementary school teacher, but she acted as if her daughter would be chosen as an imperial concubine. The most ridiculous thing was that she spread the word that no one could marry her daughter without the three major items and a 500 yuan gift.

Does Zhang Mingzuo still need to be servile?

Xizi patted his shoulder and said, "If there's no chance, don't drag it out. Cut it off as soon as possible while you're still together, so as not to give the other person a chance to throw dirty water on you."

Zhang Mingzuo also had this idea. Otherwise, when his two brothers were getting married and the three Ping'an brothers were at home, he would have brought her to meet everyone.

Mao Minghui's eyes flickered as she looked at her husband hesitantly, biting her lip. "How could someone give up such a good partner?" But she didn't want to make it public and force him into marriage.

Zhang Ziwen, behind everyone's back, squeezed her palm and smiled at her. Why had Xiao Zuo been denying his little flirtation with Yang Haixing? This guy had been acting so distant towards Yang Haixing, perhaps trying to test her.

With such thoughts in mind, how could he leave any opportunity or handle for the woman to get entangled with him?

But it was hard to explain this even to his wife. When he first met her, including during their relationship, he had all sorts of thoughts.

The brothers didn't want to disappoint the girl, but they didn't want to impulsively form a bad relationship and end up with endless entanglements in the future. Which of their cousins ​​didn't want to have a relationship like the one between their uncle and aunt in the future?

"It's almost time to find one. You and Xiaoyou are of the right age. If you don't decide on a partner, I think your aunt will be tempted to look for someone else."

Zhang Mingyou rolled his eyes. It was quite plausible what his cousin said. He wondered why his mother was so anxious. He had only been back a few days, and he hadn't even seen his old classmates much. Life was a big thing that needed to be carefully considered.

Everyone gathered together to chat for a while, not wanting to delay Zhang Ziwen's wedding night any longer. Zhang Mingzuo deliberately changed the subject, looked at the three Ping'an brothers, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to take you to the station tomorrow?"

Ping An shook his head slightly. "It's troublesome to send it back and forth. I still have to visit a few people in the provincial capital."

"Didn't we celebrate the New Year two days ago?"

"Aunt Yuan and my two cousins ​​need to go and say goodbye, and also meet some of my godfathers." Ping An did not hide this from them.

New Year's greetings were a must, so it would be unreasonable not to say hello to Zhao Yuanyuan and the others before leaving. Especially since Zhao Yuanyuan seemed to be pregnant again, the three brothers had to go on their parents' behalf.

His mother doesn't have many close friends. A few days ago, he saw that his aunt Yuan seemed unhappy when she mentioned some college classmates, so he had to find out for his mother.

Of course, the three brothers would like Aunt Yuan and Cousin Xiaomi to keep in touch more often so that if anything happens, they can take care of each other, as their mother said.

Seeing Ping An say this, not only Zhang Mingzuo, but even Xizi, who was planning to return to the provincial capital early, had to give up. He could only remind him to be careful.

Seeing that it was really getting late, everyone dismissed the eldest brother and the eldest cousin, who had their families with them, on the pretext that the three Ping'an brothers had to travel early the next morning. The remaining brothers were secretly delighted. This is the consequence of marrying off too early. Look, someone is holding you back.
