"This is a high request, and you don't have enough money!" Chen Lijuan knows the difference between right and wrong. If she hadn't gotten married, she would have helped her nephew. But now she is married and has her own children. She is also a housewife with no source of income. Although her husband Liu gave her all the money for safekeeping, she can't lend it out casually.

"Don't worry, auntie. My mother said that she has some personal savings that can help me cover my expenses for a while. Once I save enough money, it will be enough for me to spend." Chen Zhiwei hastened to assure her. He is an adult now and understood what his aunt meant.

"Okay, I'll help you find some during this period. If there's a suitable one, I'll take you to see it and try to find one with a suitable price." Chen Lijuan felt a little embarrassed when she heard her nephew say this.

"Thank you, Auntie. Sorry for the trouble. I bought these at the supply and marketing cooperative when I just came here." Chen Zhiwei took out a bag of brown sugar and a bag of peach cakes from his shoulder bag and handed them to Chen Lijuan.

"You kid, you spend money recklessly before you even have a few dollars saved. Don't bring money with you in the future." Although Chen Lijuan said these words of reprimand, she felt very sad. She felt warm in her heart when the younger generation thought of her.

"I won't bring it next time. It's been a while since I came to see my aunt."

"Don't talk about this. You have gone to the countryside, so how can you come here? Your aunt knows. Come in and sit down. I will pour you some tea. You can go back after lunch." Chen Lijuan saw that it was getting late, so she thought about preparing lunch quickly. Her husband Liu would be back from get off work soon.

Qin's Zhao Yun and Qin Xue were busy in the kitchen. Zhao Yun looked up at his daughter and asked tentatively, "Are you really determined to date this Chen Zhiwei?"

Qin Xue paused while washing the vegetables. "Mom, don't you feel okay?"

"It's not that he can't do it, it's just that this kid doesn't seem to be very capable." Zhao Yun tried to sound as nice as possible. In fact, in her opinion, Chen Zhiwei was just honest and useless. If he had ulterior motives and hid them very deeply, that would be even worse. Dating a ulterior motive boy, whether it was dating or getting married, was a very troublesome thing.

"What kind of lid should I use for the casserole? We are both the same, and no one is much better than the other." Qin Xue spoke frankly. She couldn't say that she would generally look for a very outstanding person. Then why would the other person like her?

"You...listen to what you are saying, kid. Who doesn't want to find a good partner? You can't choose your own background, but you can choose who to marry. You can't choose your parents, but you still have the right to choose your husband. Who would be willing to make do if there is no other way to live? At the beginning, you lowered your requirements and were willing to make do. Your life will only get worse in the future." Zhao Yun looked at his daughter in front of him with an expressionless face, as if she was not the one who was going to date. Zhao Yun was furious, but he still controlled his temper and spoke to his daughter earnestly.

"Forget it, think about it carefully. You are the one who lives your own life. We are just giving you some suggestions. Cook some dishes quickly and then we will go to help next door after dinner. They are having a dinner party today. I saw that they bought a lot of food in the morning. They are too busy for the two of them. We can go over to help after dinner." Zhao Yun only told Qin Xue to think about it carefully. No matter how many opinions they gave, it would not be as good as their daughter making the decision herself.

When Qin Xue heard this, although she didn't say anything, she washed the vegetables much faster. The two of them quickly prepared the meal. Captain Qin was sitting in the house waiting for dinner. He was a little impatient when he saw that Qin Xue brought him stir-fried vegetables, but when he thought of the family savings, he endured it and said nothing.

"After dinner, let's go out and borrow some tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and chopsticks. We only have one big table at home, and I'm afraid there won't be enough space for people to sit, so let's borrow another table." Song Zhi said while eating.

Gu Huaijin nodded after hearing this.

After dinner, Gu Huaijin went to the cafeteria to borrow tables, chairs, benches, and bowls. Just as Gu Huaijin left, Zhao Yun and Qin Xue arrived. Song Zhi was washing lotus roots when she saw them approach. She wiped her hands and asked curiously, "Why are you here now? How was your date this morning?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "We thought you might be too busy today, so we came early to help. This morning... is fine."

Hearing Zhao Yun's answer, Song Zhi noticed that her smile seemed a little forced, so she looked at Qin Xue curiously.

Qin Xue responded with a smile: "Hello sister-in-law, thank you for the clothes, they look good, I want to try it with him."

"It won't hurt to try getting along with each other and then make a decision after understanding each other." Song Zhi was a little unsure about Zhao Yun's attitude, so he could only comfort him in this ambiguous way.

Then he smiled and said, "I was just about to go over and ask you guys. Do you have any food restrictions?"

"There's no such thing as dietary restrictions! There's no need to ask them. Men are thick-skinned and strong-willed. Soldiers just need to have food to eat. How can they be picky?" Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing after hearing what Song Zhi said. This little Song is quite polite!

"That's fine. Then I'll do it my own way." Song Zhi invited Zhao Yun and her daughter to sit down and wanted to pour them some water.

"No, no, we are here to help, not to be guests. Can you see if there is anything you can help with?" Zhao Yun hurriedly grabbed Song Zhi who was heading towards the kitchen.

Song Zhi was embarrassed to ask them to help, but seeing Aunt Zhao's resolute attitude, he couldn't refuse her kindness, so he said, "Aunt, please help blanch the ribs and chicken. Xiaoxue and I will wash the vegetables."

"Okay, we can save time by assigning the work." Zhao Yun was actually happy to see that Song Zhi was finally willing to assign the work, as this showed that Song Zhi did not treat him as an outsider.

Gu Huaijin quickly brought back the tables, chairs and benches, and Zhao Shitou came back with him.

When Gu Huaijin came in and saw Aunt Zhao and Qin Xue, he greeted them first, and Zhao Shitou followed suit and greeted them one by one.

The five people started busying themselves with cutting vegetables and cooking. After Song Zhi arranged their work, she thought about making some drinks. Some things are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so she planned to make an apple hot orange tea, which is sour and sweet with the fragrance of fruit. Children might like it.

As soon as I thought of it, I started to act. I first cut the apple into slices and broke the orange apart. There was no need to be particularly regular, just break it apart randomly. Then I added some tea leaves and slowly cooked it on the fire.

I looked at the time and steamed some more sweet potatoes to make some sweet potato cakes. I felt that one dessert was not enough, so I thought about it and decided to add a red date glutinous rice cake. First, I removed the core of the red dates, then kneaded the glutinous rice flour into a ball and stuffed it into the red dates.

Qin Xue finished the tasks assigned by Song Zhi and walked up to him, very curious, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
