"Hey, cousin." Yun Zhiping responded happily as he looked at Meng Zhiyu, whose appearance and impression had changed a lot.
In the past, even if you met him and took the initiative to talk to him, he might not pay attention to you, and there was no such situation as calling him actively like now.
They all knew that it was because her biological mother was not with her, and how could she have a good life with her stepmother and scumbag father? They suggested taking her away more than once, but they didn't know what her uncle said to her, but she refused to do so.
Now I see that she has obviously changed a lot. Although life in the countryside is hard, she looks energetic and my worries are finally relieved.
They were talking quite loudly, and when Li Tingman and the others heard the noise they all ran to the door. Meng Zhiyu then introduced her cousin and her friends to each other.
Then he said, "My eldest cousin's surname is Yun. If you don't mind, you can just call him Brother Yun."
Yun Zhiping greeted everyone warmly. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Their family lives far away from each other, and if there is an emergency, they are powerless even if they want to. They have to rely on their cousins and other friends.
The house was too small to accommodate so many people, so we simply moved out the wooden table that had been placed in the yard, and each person brought a bench to sit in the yard and talk.
"Brother Zhou San, are you still going to the county town?" Seeing Zhou Songbai helping to move the benches, Meng Zhiyu thought of him as his eldest cousin whom he would meet on his way to the county town.
Even if something happened, Zhou Songbai would not go back. Although Yun Zhiping was his cousin, he was also his brother-in-law. He felt it was better for him to stay here with him.
"It's okay. It's not urgent. It's okay to go tomorrow." Zhou Songbai took the bench from Meng Zhiyu's hand, looked at her little face and replied softly.
Meng Zhiyu suddenly felt a little nervous. Was she going to bring her boyfriend to meet her parents?
They were just in the dating stage. Meng Zhiyu took the kettle and poured brown sugar water. After struggling for a while, she decided that if her cousin noticed anything wrong, she would tell him the truth.
Meng Zhiyu walked into the yard with a kettle of brown sugar water. There were already a lot of peanuts, melon seeds and milk candies on the table. Mu Ziwei, Zhou Songbai and others were having a good chat with his cousin.
Seeing that they got along well, Meng Zhiyu started to tell her private matters to the little sisters.
Li Tingman asked softly, "Did you tell your cousin about you and Zhou Songbai?"
Meng Zhiyu nodded, "Just tell me if my cousin asks."
Li Tingman hummed, "That's good."
Yun Zhiping talked to Zhou Songbai and others with a smile, but he was a little worried in his heart. Logically, Zhou Songbai was the one who led the way for him, and now that he had arrived, he should leave.
It's not that he wants to chase people away, but except for those with whom he has a very good relationship, he has never seen anyone giving directions make others sit down and not leave.
It seems that my little cousin has a good relationship with Zhou Songbai, but I don’t know if they are unrequited love or they are dating?
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Songbai inconspicuously. Well, he had a good figure and looked quite strong. His facial features were also good, but his skin was a little dark!
"Brother Zhou is from this team?"
"Yes, my ancestors are all here." Zhou Songbai clasped his hands together with a decent smile on his face.
Is this referring to his family's three generations of poor peasants? Yun Zhiping muttered to himself, then nodded seriously, "That's good. What's your rank in the family, Brother Zhou?"
Mu Ziwei and Song Guangye stopped talking and, like Li Tingman and the others, they quietly watched the two people asking and answering each other, acting as qualified background boards.
Li Qingqing secretly poked Meng Zhiyu and winked at her. Li Tingman was not surprised. She had seen this scene many times in her previous life and had experienced it personally.
As an older single man, Meng Zhiyu had only seen this kind of questions and answers in novels. The male and female protagonists in the novels were described as very tense. There was a group of fierce brothers-in-law, and the cold man turned into a gentle and elegant younger brother to deal with the brothers-in-law's one dilemma after another.
Now it was her turn. Meng Zhiyu didn't feel nervous at all. She looked at Zhou Songbai carefully and concluded that he wasn't nervous either. Her eldest cousin was also very kind and friendly, and only asked the most basic questions.
She was impressed by her cousin's sharp eyes, but she didn't know where she had missed the clue that allowed him to see the relationship between her and Zhou Songbai.
If you ask Zhou Songbai if he is nervous, of course he is nervous. He knows that Zhiyu has no biological brother, so his cousin is his first brother-in-law.
Yun Zhiping got a general understanding of the Zhou family's situation and had an idea in his mind. The Zhou family had three sons and one daughter. If the elderly in the Zhou family had any minor pain or illness in the future, his little cousin would not be under too much pressure.
The problem of retirement is not a big deal. He sees that Zhou Songbai does not look like a strong and self-righteous man, nor is he patriarchal. Although the family is a little poor, he can work hard to make money in the future, but character is something that can never be earned.
While talking to him, she would occasionally glance behind him. Needless to say, she was looking at his cousin. I guess they have a good relationship.
The rest couldn't be seen for the time being. Yun Zhiping thought thoughtfully that he had to find a reason to go to Zhou's house before leaving to see the atmosphere of the Zhou family and the personalities of the other members of the Zhou family.
"Cousin, how many days can you stay here?" Seeing that they didn't say anything, Meng Zhiyu asked the question that concerned him most.
Yun Zhiping smiled at her gently, "It's no problem for me to stay here with you for ten days."
"Brother Yun, I have an empty room at my house. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house." While the few of them were talking, Yun Zhiping was getting to know him, and he was also getting to know each other.
Mu Ziwei said, "Brother Yun, if you don't want to live at Zhou's, you can share a room with me. Although the room is not big, it can accommodate two people without any problem."
Zhiyu's cousin is also his cousin. He sees that this man really cares about Zhiyu, which is a good guy.
Meng Zhiyu had originally heard from Sister Man or Qingqing that she would move into one of their houses and take turns staying there for a few days, and let Yun Zhiping live in her house.
Although there were already two options, she still expressed her thoughts. If her eldest cousin didn't like living in someone else's house, her cousin's room should be fine.
When Yun Zhiping heard that his cousin was willing to give up her small house, he felt very satisfied and happy because he had a ready-made house and would not let his cousin squeeze into the same house with others.
"Thank you, Brother Mu. I'm not a very good sleeper. Since there's a vacant room at Zhou's house, I'll stay there."
Then he smiled and whispered to Meng Zhiyu, "Little sister, big brother is going to live at Zhou's house."
It just so happens that I don’t have to find another reason to visit the Zhou family. With these seventy, eighty, or ninety days, I will definitely have no problem getting to know the Zhou family thoroughly.
