"Alan is getting engaged today, did you know?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard her mention it."

"I don't know either."

Jiang Shubai suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said slowly, "Maybe she wants to give us a surprise?"

It was indeed someone involved who did mention it vaguely yesterday, but he didn't explain it clearly at the time and they didn't understand what he meant, so they didn't know what was going to happen today.

"I think it's possible."

In contrast, several people sincerely wished Song Tanglan well in their hearts, but Zhou Xiaoli wanted to kill her and take her place.

The truth is that her life has not been easy since she made a fool of herself last time, especially those men who had been attentive to her before, now all stay away from her.

Without the food delivered to her from time to time to improve her diet, she now feels hungry all day and looks pale and thin.

But when she was in the most difficult time, she heard about their happy event. How could she not be jealous?

She just thought about the medicine she had gotten with great difficulty. She had wasted so much of it last time, and now there was only a little left. If it didn't work, then she really had no other choice.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel jealous to the point of madness.

However, the people around her did not notice the changes in Zhou Xiaoli, because they were unwilling to pay attention to her.

Ever since she did something so embarrassing last time, no one in the team wants to talk to her anymore.

With this happy event as a start, the aunts started chatting again.

…

"Why don't you just find him a match? But I heard the daughter of the captain next door married an educated youth named Liu. What do you think the captain next door thinks? His daughter is in poor health and is always sick. Now she has found an educated youth who can't earn many work points. She will have to rely on their family for support every day from now on."

"Who says it's not true? Even though her daughter is fair and tender, she coughs and takes medicine every day, which costs a lot of money. Now she has to support an educated youth who can't do any work. You think his daughters-in-law don't have any objections?"

"How can you not have any opinions? Even if you have any, you wouldn't dare to say it. Besides, even if you have any opinions, you wouldn't dare to make a fuss. After all, the captain next door is very concerned about his reputation."

"That's what you said."

…

The aunts were chatting animatedly in the fields, but the protagonist Song Tanglan was unaware of this.

As soon as the two parties poured tea, they were sent aside to get along well.

As for the wedding date, it was left to the matchmaker and the two aunts.

Song Tangcheng and Cheng Fangyuan were waiting for them to choose a date and decide the final answer.

"Brother Xu, what kind of date do you think the aunts will choose?"

"It shouldn't be too soon. You've seen the condition of the house. I've had people come and renovate it. Previously, only the three rooms we live in are in decent condition. When you marry in, I'll definitely have to tidy up the other rooms to put your things in. Plus, my room doesn't have much furniture, so it's impossible to do it in the near future."

Xu Qi now feels a little regretful. Why didn't he ask someone to clean up the house earlier?

He had been into the little girl's room and found a separate bathroom inside. He must have one for the little girl.

Then we have to clean up a storage room for the girl to put her things, and the kang where he sleeps has to be enlarged.

"That will indeed take quite some time, but when I went to see my aunt, I didn't realize there were so many problems."

Song Tanglan thought about the time she went to see Aunt Xu before, but she didn’t find so many problems!

"That's because I live in the backyard and I didn't pay much attention to it before, so it got a little damaged."

Xu Qi took the little girl to the peach tree in the backyard, found a place to sit, and just held her hand and played with her.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, but I need you to supervise the work. When it's almost done, I'll take you to check it out. You can see if there's anything missing and we can fill it in."

Song Tanglan thought about it and nodded. After all, he would still have to live in that house for three years after getting married.

Living in an environment you like can also make you happy.

"I like a spacious and bright house, preferably with two windows, so it doesn't look so dark."

"Okay, I'll ask them to open an extra window then." Xu Qi happily agreed to the little girl's small request.

After all, it doesn't take much effort to make a window, it's just the glass that's a little troublesome. If he uses his connections a little more, he can still get some glass.
