I remember once I happened to be delivering something to you, and I included the yams that uncle gave me. Didn't you see the note I wrote for you? It mentioned this, and it was tucked inside that bundle of yams.
“I remember this. I was wondering why you brought me a bundle of yams that time, but I didn’t see the note. Maybe it fell off on the way.”
"Probably. I didn't put it in carefully. It's okay, you won't hold it against me for such a small thing."
Xiao Yunying smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, we're family, we ate it, so tell me how the two of them met."
"Oh, the uncle twisted his ankle while doing farm work, so I asked him to deliver the things. This young man is more composed than his father. He personally delivered the things to me before leaving, which gave me the opportunity to tell them about it."
They said it was alright, it didn't matter who ate it, and they continued to send things over from time to time. Once, when I wasn't in the store, Yingying helped me receive the things.
Later on, I don't know if the two of them made an appointment, but every time the young man came to deliver things, it was during Yingying's lunch break.
After Yingying finishes lunch, I teach her at the counter how to keep accounts and use an abacus. Whenever he comes to deliver things, Yingying takes them and carries them to the kitchen in the back. That's how we got used to it.
Xiao Yunying looked at the young man: "This is our first proper meeting, and you're calling me 'sister'? Are you following Yingying's way of addressing me?"
This is a subtle way of asking if the guy wants to date Duan Yingying.
Duan Yingying blushed and lowered her head without saying a word, but the young man calmly and generously admitted, "I do have this intention, and I hope Sister Yunying will not think I am being presumptuous."
"Sister Cheng Yue knows, right?" Xiao Yunying then looked at Duan Yingying's mother and asked, "Does Auntie know about this?"
“I only found out a couple of days ago when I moved in. Yingying didn’t tell me before. She came over to help me pack and clean the house the day I moved in, and that’s when I found out.”
Xiao Yunying could tell from Duan Yingying's mother's expression that she was quite satisfied with this young man who might become her son-in-law in the future.
However, having witnessed the wickedness of human nature, she was inevitably more cautious about people who suddenly appeared.
She asked many questions, mostly inquiring about the specific circumstances of the other person's family.
No one thought she was meddling; everyone listened quietly to their conversation.
After a few calm exchanges, Xiao Yunying gained a general understanding of the young man's family situation.
His surname is Zhou, and his given name is Liang. His family lives in a village outside the north of the city.
His grandfather passed away from illness more than two years ago. The family has since split up. His grandmother lives with his eldest son, while his father is the third son in the family. He only needs to pay some grain and a small amount of money to support his mother each year.
This means that the original thousand taels of silver notes now belong entirely to their family; they don't need to hand them over to their grandmother or share them with anyone else.
