This is not the end. Xu Ying specially bought a turtle and stewed a pot of turtle soup for Grandpa Xu.

It is well known that the soft-shelled turtle is an animal with the longest lifespan, which means it symbolizes longevity.

There are quite a lot of members of the Xu family. There are eight people in Xu Ying's family alone, and that's including the number of people who didn't come back from Xu Shengwu.

There are quite a few people from the second branch of the Xu family, plus people from the third branch of the Xu family, as well as people from Aunt Xu and Aunt Xu's families.

Fortunately, the yards in the countryside are large, otherwise there would not be enough space for everyone to sit in the yard.

There were more than thirty people in total, and it was so lively when they got together.

On ordinary days, Grandma Xu always had a sullen face, but today her expression softened a bit and there was joy in the corners of her eyes.

The old man has no other wish except that his children will still be by his side when he is old.

Grandpa Xu became even happier, especially when he smelled the delicious food cooked by his granddaughter on the table.

The eldest aunt of the Xu family had doubts about Xu Ying's cooking skills before, but after the duck products in the county became popular, she tried it and realized how good her niece's cooking skills were.

Now when I smell the fragrance from the dinner table, I feel even more admiration.

Her sister-in-law was right, Xu Ying was talented.

"Rulan, Ruhua, eat more and try your niece's cooking skills." Grandpa Xu talked more and said with a smile while looking at his two daughters.

"Good, it's delicious." Xu Rulan's man Zheng Xuenong couldn't help but praise.

When Xu Rulan heard this, she was very proud, as if the food was cooked by her.

"That's because our Xu family has excellent genes. The food we cook is delicious."

When Xu's mother heard this, she curled her lips. What about the Xu family's excellent genes? It was obviously her who was capable and her daughter was so capable.

"That's right, but besides the good genes of our Xu family, my eldest sister-in-law is also very capable. Look at the children she gave birth to, each one is more capable than the last.

Especially our Xu Ying, I heard from your uncle that you have two jobs now?" Xu Ruhua asked curiously.

Speaking of this, Xu Rulan also became a little curious. She ate her meal and looked at Xu Ying, wanting to know what was going on.

Xu Ying looked humble and didn't wait for her to speak.

Xu's mother couldn't help but show off. She waved her hands and said, "It's not a big deal. My daughter just made a duck product. I heard that it's very popular in the county.

There was some pressed duck sold overseas before, and the duck made by my daughter is also delicious. It was noticed by the director of the food factory, who said that this duck might be sold overseas as well.

Then he said that my daughter's job in a state-owned restaurant was a waste of her talents, so he wanted to let my daughter work in a food factory.

But my daughter likes to cook for others and she is reluctant to work in a state-owned restaurant. Of course, the factory director also liked my daughter's skills and insisted that she work part-time in his factory.

The salary is the same as that of a regular employee, and all you need to do is to develop a product every month."

Xu's mother didn't know about bonuses and commissions. She was so happy just thinking about her daughter earning a hundred yuan a month.

Xu Rulan and Xu Ruhua looked shocked, but this was fine.

"Then Yingying's monthly salary must be around a hundred yuan, right?" Xu Ruhua was extremely envious.

She and her husband relied on earning work points to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, there were many high mountains where they lived, with many wild animals, and they could also pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables to eat.

Xujia Village is also backed by a mountain, but compared with the mountain on Xu Ruhua's side, it is nothing compared.

"That's about right." Father Xu was very pleased, showing the pride of an old father.

Brother Xu was also very excited: "My little sister is pretty and capable at work. I don't know which boy she will be in the future."

Once this topic was brought up, everyone began to be curious about Xu Ying's marriage.

Brother Xu was confused and didn't know how he had made his younger sister angry.

"Sister-in-law, our Yingying is so outstanding, shouldn't she find a man from the city in the future?" Xu Rulan said.

Xu Ruhua also expressed her opinion: "I think it's enough to just find someone you really like.

As long as this man is willing to work, it is better than anything else. "

Xu Ruhua married her man because of love. Although her man's family was poor and lived in a remote area, she still married him without hesitation.

Although life after marriage was hard, her husband treated her well and was capable, so she was happy despite the hardship.

Grandma Xu had the same idea as the little girl. She and Grandpa Xu were in a free love relationship and lived a good life, so she didn't care much about it.

Father Xu cleared his throat and said in front of everyone, "What do you think of Huo Chen?"

When these words were spoken, all members of the Xu family were shocked.

Uncle Xu even howled, "Brother, are you crazy? That's a wolf cub, and you let my niece marry him.

He is so violent, what if he hits my niece? Even if all of us join together, we won’t be able to beat him! "

Uncle Xu was also shocked, but his worry was different from that of his third brother. Now it was a new society, and beating people was against the law.

And although Huo Chen had beaten people before, it was all to protect Grandma Huo.

This kid wouldn't hit someone for no reason. He was just acting in self-defense.

But this kid looks too fierce and so tall. My niece is relatively small, the kind that makes people feel pitiful just by looking at her. It’s weird to think about her being with Huo Chen.

Xu Ying had just put a piece of braised pork in her mouth, but when she heard her father's words, she was so scared that she swallowed it without chewing, and almost choked to death.

When she thought of Huo Chen, her face looked a little strange. Are she and Huo Chen a good match?

He is handsome, tall, and most importantly, he is not short of money. Although she is not poor either, she doesn't want to fall in love.

She is now like what people in later generations would call a non-marriageist. She can have a child, but forget about getting married.

She doesn't want to be in a relationship, nor does she want to be hurt.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Huo Chen and I are not suitable."

Father Xu was unhappy when he heard this: "Why are you two not suitable? Your mother and I think it's a good match. Huo Chen and I are from the same village.

If you marry him and live closer to home, if you get bullied, your brothers and I can rush over immediately.

And I think Huo Chen is a pretty good guy. He can make a lot of money now. He can earn hundreds of dollars a day and hundreds of dollars a month.

Have you seen their new house? It’s a small two-story building. Who in our village is as rich as their family?”

Xu Ying resisted: "I don't want to get married or fall in love. I think it's good to be with my parents."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he immediately looked at his wife. His guess was right.

His daughters have an abnormal attitude towards relationships. What he said before about not getting married was not just to coax them, but he was serious about it.

Xu's mother was also shocked and said quickly: "How can you not get married? If you want to be with me and your father, then marrying Huo Chen is the most suitable.

Our two families are so close, you can be with me and your dad every day."

Xu Rulan and Xu Ruhua originally wanted to tell their niece some words to help her see a man's true face, but they were shocked when they heard their niece say that she didn't want to get married.
