Hearing her mother's words, Zhang Rourou's mouth curled up into a triumphant smile, and she said exaggeratedly.
"Mom, that's how it should be. Find an opportunity to bring these two together and introduce them properly. It would be best if they could get to know each other well."
"Okay, let's do it!"
In this way, Zhang Rourou and her daughter hid in the room and discussed a plan to forcibly tie Zhang Yaoyao and Pei Yunbiao together, and then the two of them walked out with smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Zhang Yaoyao had no idea that Zhang Rourou wanted to pair her with Pei Yunbiao, and she was still helping Zhang Ruhai in the kitchen.
When the food was served, Zhang Yaoyao helped her uncle to put all the food on the table and put out the dishes and chopsticks. She took out the good wine that Wang Meiwei and Old Man Wang had given her from her pocket, handed it to Zhang Ruhai, and said with a smile.
"Uncle, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. This is some good wine a friend of mine asked me to bring you!"
Zhang Ruhai took the wine with a smile, looked at Zhang Yaoyao lovingly, and sighed.
"Oh, this is really a good bottle of wine. My Yaoyao is the most thoughtful one!"
He has a daughter and a niece. People say that a daughter is a father's warm and caring little cotton-padded jacket, but in Zhang Ruhai's heart, Zhang Yaoyao actually does much better than her daughter Zhang Rourou.
Take the Mid-Autumn Festival today for example. His daughter Zhang Rourou brought her boyfriend and went home with just some things. After returning home, she sat on the sofa like a big boss waiting for food, and didn't even prepare a gift for her parents.
But Zhang Yaoyao was different. In addition to bringing gifts, she also brought him a bottle of good wine. Zhang Ruhai was a worldly-wise man, and the bottle of wine Zhang Yaoyao gave him was truly top-notch, worth several months' salary.
It can be seen that in the heart of the niece, she is truly filial and wants to respect him, while his own daughter Zhang Rourou is like a debt collector.
On weekdays, she not only asked them for money as a matter of course, but also waited for them to serve her food and drinks. She opened a clothing store there, but she only knew how to sell goods in the store all day and couldn't even cook. She had to wait for him to get off work and then cook for her. She was really busy and exhausted both physically and mentally.
Compared to Zhang Ruhai's mental activities, Zhang Yaoyao didn't think much about it and replied obediently.
"Of course, uncle, since it's Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to give you a bottle of good wine. I hope you are in good health and have a happy holiday!"
While the two were talking, Pei Yunbiao also walked closer to the table and inadvertently glanced at the bottle of wine in Zhang Ruhai's hand. He was shocked and thought to himself.
"This bottle of wine is really good, quite expensive. I saw it at the luxury goods counter at the supply and marketing cooperative before, and it's worth half a year's salary. How could Zhang Yaoyao, an orphan from the countryside, be willing to spend so much money on this bottle of wine? She's quite filial."
Thinking of this, Pei Yunbiao looked at Zhang Yaoyao with a complicated look. He didn't expect that a poor country boy would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy such good wine for his uncle. It can be seen that he has a kind heart.
It's a pity that Zhang Yaoyao comes from a poor family. Not only does she have no parents to support her, she is also a poor girl from the countryside.
Otherwise, he could reluctantly pursue Zhang Yaoyao.
Thinking of this, Pei Yunbiao couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart. It was a waste that Zhang Yaoyao had such a beautiful face, and she was dragged down by her family background.
Just then, Zhang Rourou and her mother came out from the bedroom with smiles on their faces. Seeing that the food was on the table, Zhang's mother and Zhang Rourou looked at each other, and Zhang's mother greeted them warmly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that in the time it takes me to go to the house, the food is all ready and on the table. Come on, everyone, don't be shy and sit down. It's a big holiday, don't be shy, let's start eating."
As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Rourou to sit next to him and deliberately left two seats next to her free.
As for Zhang Rourou, she calmly sat down next to her mother, deliberately trying to distance herself from Pei Yunbiao.
Zhang Ruhai looked at his wife and daughter sitting at the table and greeted them warmly.
"Yes, now that the food is ready, let's all hurry to the table."
Having said that, Zhang Ruhai looked in the direction of Zhang Yaoyao and said warmly.
"Yaoyao, come sit next to me. I haven't seen you in a long time. It's so good for you to sit next to me and chat later."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Ruhai seemed to realize that Pei Yunbiao, who was standing next to the table, had no place to sit. He glanced at his daughter and found that she was looking far away with her head down, as if she didn't intend to pay attention to Pei Yunbiao. He could only greet her.
"Xiao Pei, since you're at my house, don't be so reserved. Just treat it like you're at home. Sit on the stool next to Yaoyao first!"
As he spoke, Zhang Ruhai adjusted the chair beside him, and Zhang Yaoyao sat down on it as a matter of course. Only Pei Yunbiao was left standing there awkwardly. He glanced at Zhang Rourou who was sitting far away from Zhang's mother, and then glanced at the remaining empty seat next to Zhang Yaoyao. A flash of resentment towards Zhang Rourou flashed through his heart, but he still said to Zhang Ruhai with a smile.
"Okay, uncle, I'll just sit next to my cousin. It's okay."
After everyone sat down, Zhang Ruhai began to warmly entertain them for dinner. Perhaps because it was a holiday, the rich dishes on the table quickly aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Everyone began to clink glasses and eat lively until they were almost done.
Zhang Rourou winked at her mother. Mother Zhang turned her head to look at Zhang Yaoyao and Pei Yunbiao who were sitting together for dinner and tried to speak.
"Yaoyao, how have you been lately?"
Zhang Yaoyao was casually stuffing a mouthful of food into her mouth when she suddenly heard her aunt's question. She had to chew the food in her mouth quickly and swallow it before speaking slowly.
"I'm doing OK. Thank you for your concern, auntie!"
In the original owner's memory, this aunt usually disliked her, but she didn't expect that today she would take the initiative to ask about her recent situation. Zhang Yaoyao was very surprised, so she was very cautious when answering the other party.
Seeing that Zhang Yao's answer was quite standard, the aunt's eyes swept back and forth between Pei Yunbiao and Zhang Yaoyao, brewing her emotions and speaking.
"It's like this, Yaoyao, you've grown up now. Your parents are gone, and your uncle and I are the only ones left to look after you. But we can't be involved in every aspect of your life. It's time for you to find a boyfriend and start a family. Then you'll have someone who understands you and feels your best, and your life will have a purpose."
Zhang's mother's words were very sharp and hit the nail on the head. She was almost writing the words "I want to introduce you to a boyfriend" on her face.
