Xu Xiangdong's face turned red when he was looked at by her. The grown man felt a little helpless for a moment. Yanran looked at him like this, so she must have a good impression of him.

"Yanran, I'm going to go back first. I'll come to help you with the work in the afternoon." Xu Xiangdong scratched his forehead and said naively.

Chen Yanran nodded and watched him leave, the disgust in her eyes no longer hidden.

Dong Wenzhong is unreliable at the moment. He can't take care of himself now and can't help her at all. In addition, with the affairs of the Dong brothers, Chen Yanran feels a little resistant to the Dong family.

She needed to quickly find another person whom she could use. Without a doubt, Xu Xiangdong, a simple and honest man, was the most suitable person.

Chen Yanran's eyes were filled with loss. She looked into the distance, not knowing when she could return to the city.

Thinking that the educated youth from the next village was going to marry a villager, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Chen Yanran's eyes.

But as more and more people married into the village, life became obviously much better than before, and Chen Yanran became a little hesitant.

If she really wanted to marry someone from the village, only the Xu family would be barely acceptable to her.

Chen Yanran turned around and walked quickly back to the Youth Institute. As soon as she entered the house, Sun Yunjuan looked at her with red eyes and cried, "Yanran, you are finally back.

Xu Shengcai is actually dating a girl from the county town, she has a job and is pretty, so I don’t have any chance at all.”

"From the city? What do you do?" Chen Yanran was a little surprised.

"I work at the supply and marketing cooperative and I am the Xu Qiuye from Xu Renguo's family as mentioned by the villagers." Sun Yunjuan looked dejected.

It turned out to be her. Chen Yanran was a little shocked, and she looked down on Xu Qiuye.

Instead of seizing such a good opportunity, he ended up dating a country girl. How narrow-minded he is.

"Hiss, this is a difficult matter. How could they be together? I've never heard of them before." Chen Yanran pretended to sympathize.

Sun Yunjuan thought she understood her feelings, and tears of grievance flowed down her face. Her family background was much better than Xu Qiuye's, and if she hadn't gone to the countryside, she wouldn't be doing badly either.

Especially when she heard that Xu Shengcai had a boyfriend, she was extremely sad.

"I don't know, wuwuwuwu~" Sun Yunjuan cried with a sad face, and there was no trace of her previous arrogance.

Chen Yanran wiped the tears that flowed down her body with disgust, afraid that Sun Yunjuan's snot would rub against her, and slowly moved away.

As soon as she moved, Sun Yunjuan followed, crying.

"Yunjuan, what do you think? Do you want to just give up or try to win Shengcai's heart?"

When Sun Yunjuan heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief: "He's already with Qiu Ye, how can I win his heart? Besides, wouldn't that be being a mistress?"

She looked conflicted.

Chen Yanran disagreed: "What is a mistress? Are they married? Since you like Xu Shengcai, why don't you be brave and give it a try?

Do you think you are worse than Xu Qiuye, or you are not as pretty as her?

I think love doesn’t matter who comes first or who comes later. What matters is sincerity. If your love for Shengcai exceeds Qiuye, I think you should be with him.”

Sun Yunjuan raised her head: "Then what should I do? Should I go find Xu Sheng to confess?"

After saying this, Sun Yunjuan lowered her head shyly. How could a girl like her talk about such things so casually?

Chen Yanran smiled and whispered a few words to Sun Yunjuan's ear. A blush appeared on Sun Yunjuan's face and she nodded quickly.

Xu Ying didn't know that her second brother had been very popular with women recently. She had just arrived in the county town with Xu's mother, and after arriving, Xu's mother went to a restaurant first.

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, Sun Lifang ran over with a look of surprise on her face and gave her a big hug: "Yingying, why did you come to the restaurant when you were resting?"

"I'm here to take my mother out for a meal." Xu Ying pulled Xu's mother over and introduced her.

Sun Lifang looked at Xu's mother politely when she heard this: "Hello, Auntie. My name is Lifang, and I'm Yingying's colleague."

"Oh, Lifang, this girl is so pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?" Mother Xu asked with a smile while holding Sun Lifang's hand.

Sun Lifang was shocked and at a loss.

Seeing that her mother wanted to arrange a marriage, Xu Ying quickly pulled her back and said, "Mom, are you hungry? I've been riding for so long, I'm hungry."

When Xu's mother heard that her precious daughter was hungry, she dragged her to the dining table with concern. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to Sun Lifang: "My daughter, I'm going to eat first."

Sun Lifang nodded and hurried to work.

"Mom, what do you want to eat?" Xu Ying pointed at the menu and asked, "There are braised eggplant, spicy and sour potato shreds, fish dumplings, and shredded pork noodles..."

Xu's mother was reluctant to eat expensive food, so she only ordered a plate of fried shredded potatoes, a plate of mapo tofu, and a few steamed buns.

When Xu Ying paid, she added a dish of braised pork and braised fish. She had agreed to eat the braised pork, so she couldn't go back on her word.

When the food was served, Xu's mother saw the two meat dishes and said with a pained look on her face: "My daughter, this is a lot of money, we can make it when we go back, why waste this money?

Besides, this chef’s cooking is definitely not as good as yours, so I’m losing out on this meal.”

Chef Ge happened to pass by and stumbled. Everyone mentioned him as the imperial chef, but this old woman said that the food he cooked was not as delicious as the food cooked by the little girl Xu Ying.

This is so discouraging and so shortsighted.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Chef Ge in our restaurant is a great cook. His ancestors were imperial chefs. You should try it." Xu Ying said.

Mother Xu swallowed her saliva. She really couldn't stand the fragrance, but her daughter was more precious.

Anyway, even if the meal was delicious, she wouldn't say it was better than what her daughter cooked.

The braised pork with alternating fat and lean texture melted in the mouth, the aroma of the meat bursting in the mouth, and Xu's mother's face was full of excitement as she ate it.

Of course, he didn't forget to pick up some for his daughter to eat: "Daughter, hurry up and eat. Although it's not as delicious as what you cook, but you are worthy of being the royal chef, you are still quite skilled."

Xu Ying took a bite of the braised pork and thought her mother was talking nonsense. Chef Ge’s cooking skills were indeed amazing. The braised pork melted in the mouth and was very memorable.

The color is bright red, the braised pork is fat but not greasy, tasty, tender and juicy. She feels it is better than what she makes herself.

"Yingying, Aunt Xu." Gu Fuying's voice came, and Xu Qiuye soon followed suit, "Aunt, Yingying."

Ever since Xu Ying became the cook here, Gu Fuying came here to eat almost every day at noon, and of course she did not forget to eat with Xu Qiuye.

Ever since knowing that Xu Qiuye was the girlfriend of Xu Ying's second brother, Gu Fuying's relationship with her has become better and better out of love for her.

When Accountant Xu found out about this, he strongly supported his daughter's relationship with her. After all, the Gu family's status was much higher than his.

"Qiuye, Fuying, have you eaten? Sit down and eat together. My daughter insisted on ordering so many dishes, there is no way we can finish them just the two of us." Isn't this a waste of food?

Xu's mother was heartbroken.
