The matchmaking event was a great success; shy young women could be seen in almost every corner. A certain leader didn't hold back in praising his daughter, showering her with compliments all the way back to his office.
Li Pengfei sighed, "Old Xiao, if Shishi hadn't suffered mental damage, I really can't imagine how intelligent she would be."
Ding Youliang chimed in, "Yes, designing is a talent, you could say it's a gift from God."
"But matchmaking seems simple, but there are actually many things to consider. Shishi has a firm grasp on so many couples. No experienced matchmaker could do that."
"Alas, what a pity for our little genius. If she had grown up normally, how much benefit she could have brought to the country."
Xiao Dan disagreed, saying, "My Shishi is very smart now. She's just still young. She'll grow out of it."
The phrase "It'll be good when you grow up" shocked the two of them.
If you're not grown up at 18, how many more years do you have to be to truly grow up?
What they didn't know was that Xiao Dan's "growing up" didn't refer to physical growth, but rather to inner growth.
She was no longer the clueless brat she was when she first arrived on the island; she was like a pearl covered in dust, gradually shedding its outer layer of concealment.
Many times he felt that his children had grown up, such as hiding his second son's leg ailment and sending him over to reunite with the couple, as well as the preparations for today's matchmaking event and the speech he gave on stage.
However, she did not completely break free from the constraints, as if she was being hindered by invisible barriers that limited her intelligence, causing her to behave childishly.
He had a premonition that as long as there was an opportunity to break through that invisible barrier and let her grow naturally, one day his precious daughter would transform into someone that could only be gazed upon.
As a father, he doesn't ask his child to achieve great things; he only hopes she will always be happy and retain her innocence, unaffected by worldly influences.
After the blind date, there was no need to go to training. Liu Guodong told Ming Hailiang to boil water and stay in the cafeteria to wait, wanting to see for himself whether his sister-in-law could really catch pheasants quickly.
Without saying a word, Ming Hailiang went to boil water. "Don't worry, I promise I'll save you a big chicken leg."
Liu Guodong was shocked. "Squad Leader Ming, you trust your wife that much? In such a short time, even if she could catch her, it would be too late."
Ming Hailiang didn't reply, but gave him a look that said, "You're so ignorant."
The water had just been boiled when a familiar sound came from outside.
Shishi led a group of little creatures in.
"Xiao Mingzi, come and catch the chicken."
Ming Hailiang glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 10:50. There was still an hour before dinner, which was plenty of time to kill the chicken and cook.
He raised an eyebrow at Liu Guodong, "Did you hear that? Your sister-in-law is here. You're getting your chicken leg for lunch, so come and help."
Liu Guodong's eyes lit up instantly. It turned out his sister-in-law hadn't been all talk; there really was a chicken leg.
"Hey, here it comes~"
Xiao Xiangbei didn't manage to catch any pheasants, but there was chicken soup at home, a token of his sister's love for him. He gulped down a bowl of soup, his mouth glistening with oil.
"Thanks to my younger sister, I'm even luckier than a new mother in her postpartum period."
"Shishi, you're so good to me. When you're in postpartum confinement, I promise I'll give you even better treatment than this."
Shishi took a bite of the chicken leg skin, chewed it, and swallowed it. "What exactly constitutes postpartum confinement?"
"It's called 'sitting the month' when you stay in your room for a month after giving birth and have someone take care of your food and drink."
With chicken feet in hand, Xiao Xiangbei was chewing them with great relish when he suddenly sensed a dangerous glint in his eye. He looked up and received a sarcastic remark from his younger sister.
"If you want to have a postpartum period, let your eighth sister-in-law give birth. I won't give birth, I won't give birth."
Suddenly, the chicken leg in my hand didn't taste good anymore; it was even a bit greasy. I stuffed it into Xie Lin's bowl, picked up a piece of pickled cabbage, and put it in my mouth to suppress the greasiness.
Xie Lin glanced at his brother-in-law, got up, took an empty bowl, tore off a piece of chicken leg meat, put some pickled cabbage into the bowl, added some chili sauce, and mixed it up.
"Shishi, you won't get tired of eating it like this. Be good, finish the chicken leg."
There were two chicken drumsticks, one for her and one for her mother-in-law. That was the established rule. Her mother-in-law had almost finished eating, while she had only taken two bites. It was all her brother-in-law's fault for talking nonsense.
Shishi smelled it; it was sour and spicy, not greasy at all. She poured half a bowl of rice in and mixed it in before eating. "Delicious!"
Xiao Dan and his wife are taking a natural approach to having children. When this was mentioned, Zhang Tong asked Xiao Xiangbei a question in return.
“Xiao Sheng is over 4 years old. You two can consider having a third child. If you can have a girl, Mom will give you a reward of 500 yuan.”
"Dad will also give a reward of 500."
Xiao Dan looked at the chubby little girl in the stroller, holding her bottle and drinking milk, and couldn't help but love her.
"Look how chubby and cute the little girl is, don't you want a daughter?"
Xiao Xiangbei was speechless. "Dad, Mom, don't you two know what kind of genes our family has? Our great-great-grandfather's generation didn't have any daughters. You can't force me to have one."
"Xiaojing and I both have to work. If we're pregnant, we'll have the baby. If not, this is how it is. Anyway, we can only have a son."
The couple: ......
After leaving his parents speechless, Xiao Xiangbei immediately changed the subject, "Little sister, I have to go back to the team. I haven't had any wild boar meat yet."
He wasn't going to catch pheasants, but he couldn't miss out on catching wild boars, he thought to himself as he munched on a chicken foot.
Then……
While Xiao Xiangbei was taking a nap because of the three chickens, Shishi brought back five wild boars. She took four to the canteen and kept one for herself, intending to make pork jerky to give to her grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews in Beijing.
"Little sister, why didn't you invite me to come along?!"
The big guy made a pig-like squeal.
No man dislikes hunting. The outcome isn't important, but the process is enjoyable: you chase small prey, big prey chase you, it's all about the adrenaline rush.
Shishi stabbed him in the heart: "You're half-crippled, you can't run as fast as a wild boar, so your parents won't let you go up the mountain."
Xiao Xiangbei, who was ordered not to engage in strenuous exercise for three months, was speechless.
