"That's right, and I've found that there are more men than women in our village, so it's really difficult to find a wife here."

"That's not necessarily true. Among the people who moved here before, there were a few girls of marriageable age."

“I know that, we’ve discussed it before. But everyone’s still watching and we don’t know if these people will adapt to life here. We don’t want to marry a tyrant.”

"That's true. Let them learn in a couple more years. By then, their arrogance will have worn off." Rural life has its own wisdom; they don't make decisions lightly.

"Alright, it's almost time for you to eat. My family is waiting for me to go back. Let's have a proper chat another time." After finishing her business and getting the photos, Yun's mother got up to go home.

"How about we just grab a quick bite here?"

"Maybe next time, we have guests at home."

As he spoke, he walked out.

I ran into the Liu family father and son at the door. They had just returned from the fields. After exchanging greetings, they went home.

"What is Sister Ming doing at this hour?" Liu Zhijian put down his hoe and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Good news! They've taken a liking to our Xiaoya and want to introduce her to someone," Bai Liangfen said as she ladled fish soup from the pot, answering her husband's question.

"Where are you from? What's he like?" Liu Fengya also pricked up his ears to listen.

"She introduced her niece and even took a photo." After drying her hands, she took the photo out of the cabinet.

"Look, this is it." He pointed to Gao Jie's location and then to Gao Liang next to her, "This is her twin brother."

“Then I know who it is. This is Gao Ci’an’s daughter from Gaojia Village.”

How did you know?

“When I went there to catch snakes, the two siblings had just been admitted to prestigious universities and were having a celebration in the village. I even got to eat there myself. Since they were twins and both so successful, I couldn’t help but ask them some questions.”

"And what about her parents?"

"They are all honest people. Although her mother is a bit tough, she is reasonable. If it were his family, this marriage would be a really good one."

“This also requires Xiaoya’s consent. What do you say, Xiaoya?” Bai Liangfen then turned her gaze to her son.

"It's fine." She blushed slightly after saying that.

"They've already hit it off." The couple was quite surprised by their child's attitude. In the past, when they asked him to look at photos for blind dates, he always said he didn't feel anything. But this time, he decided after just one glance. How could they not believe it?

“I’ve seen her before. She came with Brother Cheng back then. I think she’s Brother Cheng’s cousin.”

"Oh, my silly son, you even found out about this. Why didn't you say so back then? If you had, I wouldn't have had to beat around the bush with you like this, and we might have made a decision much earlier."

"Does Si Cheng's family have a genetic predisposition to having twins? Look, they've got two sets of twins in a row." Bai Liangfen suddenly thought of Yun Qi's adorable twins and suddenly felt hopeful about the future.

"You know what, it's true. There are so many twins these days, let alone boy-girl twins. Getting pregnant with twins under these circumstances is not a good thing, since medical care can't keep up." Liu Zhijian had heard a lot about the difficult births that many women in the village had experienced recently.

"Fortunately, there are still a few retired nurses in our village, otherwise we would have been in real trouble." Bai Liangfen said, still feeling lingering fear.

"You didn't know, did you? One of the immigrants who came this time is an obstetrician and gynecologist. It seems that he used to work in a big hospital in the coastal area. There are even a few professors among them." Liu Fengya dropped this bombshell.

"Really? Who told you that?" Mr. and Mrs. Liu were very surprised, as they had never heard of it before.

"We overheard this while the village was registering people. Later, I heard Yuntao and the others say that my second grandfather and his family were discussing that once they are settled, the village will notify everyone and then they will start to focus on the education of the children."

"If that's true, that would be wonderful, a really great thing."

“That way we won’t have to worry about your children not getting any education in the future.” Bai Liangfen began to look forward to the addition of more people to the family.

"It's still far from certain, we don't even know if she'll agree." Liu Fengya had been quite interested in Gao Jie ever since he first met her. Back then, before the earthquake, he had already gathered all the information he needed to know and was preparing to find an opportunity to get closer. Unexpectedly, the disaster disrupted his plans. Later, during several outings with Si Cheng, he subtly tried to impress him, and it seemed his method had worked. Luck had finally smiled upon him. Fortunately, Si Cheng was unaware of his underhanded tactics, otherwise he certainly wouldn't have given him such a high evaluation.

The thought of having the chance to marry the girl he admired made Liu Fengya's lips curl into a smile.

“This son has grown up.” Seeing her son’s silly look, Bai Liangfen pointed at him and showed it to her husband.

“This child is just like me. Back then, I also took a liking to you at first sight, and there was no one else but you.”

"You still have the nerve to talk about the past? My son would never be as shameless as you."

"How can you find a wife without being shameless?"

Liu Fengya was caught off guard by a huge bowl of PDA, and seeing the couple showing off their love again, he turned around and went back to his house.

As soon as Yun's mother entered the house, everyone was looking at her. She proudly waved the photo in her hand, "With me in charge, what's there to worry about?"

"That's an agreement! That was so fast!" Yun Qi was stunned by this incredible move.

"What are you thinking? I just took a photo. I'll show it to A-Jie when I get back. If she's satisfied, then we can discuss further."

"I thought it was already agreed upon, look how happy you are." Yunqi muttered to himself.

"Thank you, sister. I'll talk to Xiaojie when I get back. If it's a good fit, I'll bring her over to play again." Gao Zian carefully took the photo, intending to put it in his pocket, only to realize that there was nowhere to put the photo in his t-shirt.

"No rush, let's eat first. I'll get you a bag to take it back later." Yun Ming'an brought his brother-in-law directly to the kitchen table, thinking that he should finish eating as soon as possible so that his brother-in-law could go home earlier. After all, his brother-in-law had come here in a fit of pique and hadn't explained to his family. Going home early would save his family from worrying.

"Look, we've had to trouble you all for this." Gao Zian looked at the large table full of dishes and felt a little embarrassed.

“We still have so much to say, and you’ll have to walk back later, so I won’t give you any more drinks.” She said, gesturing for him to sit down.
