During the meal, Xiao Mingxuan insisted on sitting next to Huo Haocheng. There was no other way but to let him sit between Huo Haocheng and Lan Chaoyang. After the meal, a group of people sat and chatted. The three old people were in one group, reminiscing about the past, while the four young people were in another group, talking about work. Wang Qun took Xiao Mingxuan for a nap.
"Chaoxi, I want to ask you, are you dating anyone?" She only found out this morning that Chaoxi was about the same age as her. She had heard them talk about this girl before, but she had never heard that she was dating anyone.
"Sister...I..." When Ruan Ruan asked this question, Chao Xi didn't know how to answer. Actually, for a girl her age, it was a bit unreasonable not to be engaged yet.
Judging from her expression, Ruan Ruan thought, "She must have some unspeakable trouble."
"If it is..." Ruan Ruan wanted to say that if there was some unspeakable reason, then there was no need to say it.
“Sister, there’s really nothing we can’t talk about.” The two sisters said at the same time, and seeing that she was willing to talk, Ruan Ruan shut up.
"Sister, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but actually, when I was little, my family arranged a marriage for me. But last year, when I turned 18, my grandfather wrote a letter to the family I was engaged to, asking them to come and discuss the marriage. They felt that I was no longer good enough for them, so they wrote a letter to break off the engagement. After that, the news of my broken engagement spread throughout the village, so no one was willing to arrange a marriage for me anymore."
It's obvious without even thinking that it was her dear sister-in-law who did it.
Even if Chaoyang wasn't the one who ruined his sister's marriage proposal, he still felt quite sorry for Chaoxi. The Lan family's current predicament was mostly because of him.
"Chaoxi, don't be sad. As the saying goes, blessed people don't marry into unblemished families. Our Chaoxi is such a beautiful girl, it's their loss if they break off the engagement. You wait, tomorrow, no, tonight, I'll have your brother-in-law bring his comrades over. You can choose whichever one you like. If you see one you like, have your brother-in-law talk to him. The people in our army are so much better than those ugly ducklings outside."
Ruan Ruan felt angry when she heard that her younger sister's engagement had been broken off. Although they had only met today, she had already seen through Chao Xi in the past few hours. She was a gentle and kind girl who was very well-mannered. Just look at the lunch she had prepared. She was a very family-oriented person. If they didn't want someone like that, it meant that the family wasn't any better. It was better not to have her.
"Did you hear that? Anyway, you're all off these two days, so go find them in a bit and take them with you to help your uncle and uncle out. I already talked to Xuyang and the others about the house, and it's already been cleaned. In a bit, you can go with Chaoyang and the others to the supermarket to help buy some furniture. Then come over for dinner tonight. It'll be a good opportunity for Chaoxi to meet them."
Ruan Ruan still didn't believe it. Among so many single people, apart from her cousin Ruan Shaolin, there was no way to find a couple.
Hearing his wife's words, Huo Haocheng looked at her again and again, wanting to see if what she said was true or just casual talk. Obviously, it was true.
Okay, I'll go in a bit.
"Sister, actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Chao Xi was prepared to be looked down upon by Ruan Ruan. After all, when she was at home, the girls she used to get along with in the village stopped playing with her after hearing that her engagement had been broken off. When they met in the village, they even told her to stay away from them so that she wouldn't be dragged down and unable to find a partner either.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Ruan is not an ordinary person. After hearing that her engagement had been broken off, she was even angrier than her. To be honest, Chao Xi and her childhood sweetheart didn't really have any feelings for each other. One reason was that their families lived far apart, and the other was that their interests were different and they couldn't see eye to eye at all.
So when she received the letter announcing the end of her marriage, she was actually relieved, but she was still quite upset that her family members were being gossiped about.
"No rush, I'm not in a hurry at all. Let's get to know each other first. If we hit it off, great. We can take our time and date for a year or two, get to know each other well, and then discuss marriage. If we don't, we'll just keep looking. Anyway, there are plenty of single men in the army. If this batch doesn't work out, we'll just find the next one..."
Ruan Ruan got more and more excited as she talked, completely unaware of the gazes of the people around her.
Hearing his wife's words, he was initially quite normal, but how did she suddenly veer off course? If it weren't for her big belly, Huo Haocheng would have really wanted to teach her a lesson. If this batch doesn't work, just switch to the next batch. Is this a blind date or a wholesale business?
Chaoyang and Chaoxi, the siblings, were also taken aback by Ruanruan's bold statement; they had never heard such a daring remark before. However, after careful consideration, they found it quite reasonable.
"Honey, it's getting late, and you must be tired. Let me help you inside to rest first, and then we'll go find them. Don't worry, my cousin's matter will definitely be resolved tonight."
Worried that his wife might say something interesting again, Huo Haocheng immediately helped her up and carried her into the room.
Watching them leave, Chaoxi thought that finding a brother-in-law like her wouldn't be bad. "Brother, do you think I could find someone like you if I looked for a brother-in-law?"
"I think it's a good idea. Didn't you hear what Ruan Ruan said? She's introducing you to people from Huo Haocheng's team. They spend so much time together, they're probably all pretty much the same. If they're not good people, your sister can get him to bring them all. Besides, judging from what Ruan Ruan said earlier, they must get together often, so they must have a good relationship. When your brother-in-law brings them over later, take a good look at them. Maybe it'll actually work out."
In less than two hours, Lan Chaoyang had developed a romantic view of Huo Haocheng, thinking that if she were to marry, she should marry a soldier. Soldiers are good; they are good to their wives, good to their families, and even better to their children. Of course, it would be even better if they didn't compete with him for his son.
