So, Sun Zhengguo, who had just returned home and hadn't even settled in yet, was given a critical mission. He took the big black coin handed to him by his mother, didn't even ask for the ticket, pushed his bicycle, and headed out of the yard.
"No, Zhengguo, you just got back, why are you running off again?"
Yan Bugui, standing at the door, asked with a puzzled look.
"Uncle, I'm just destined to be a busybody. My cousin is on a blind date, so I'm going out to help him buy some groceries."
Sun Zhengguo didn't have time to chat with Yan Bugui. After finishing his sentence, he walked out, as he needed to quickly retrieve the vegetables and not delay his business.
Even after Sun Zhengguo left, Yan Bugui still looked puzzled.
If he remembered correctly, Lin Wencui had bought groceries that morning.
"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't know what this young man from the Sun family is up to?"
Yan Bugui muttered to himself.
After leaving the compound, Sun Zhengguo wandered around for ten minutes before finding a secluded spot.
He took out a slaughtered chicken, two pounds of pork, and a three-pound carp from his storage space, put them in a bag, hung them on his bicycle, and then slowly drove home.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, Yan Bugui, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again. What did he see?
In no time, the young man from the Sun family returned, with a bulging bag hanging in his car.
Needless to say, what's inside this bag? It's self-evident.
But that's not the point. The point is that Sun Zhengguo was able to get these things back in a short time.
This shows that he has some ability. What Lin Wencui couldn't do, her son could do. Doesn't that prove something?
Yan Bugui decided that he must cultivate a good relationship with Sun Zhengguo so that if supplies become scarce in the future, he could ask him to help buy some. He didn't need to ask for a cheap price; as long as he could buy some, that would be fine.
"Jung-guk, you bought it so quickly."
Looking at Yan Bugui's face, which was all smiles, Sun Zhengguo had no idea what he was up to this time.
"Uncle, isn't this just a lucky coincidence? I just arrived at the market and ran into someone selling things. I'm pretty fortunate."
Yan Bugui certainly wouldn't believe Sun Zhengguo's nonsense.
It takes less than twenty minutes to go round trip. Even if you have a car, it's only enough for a round trip at most, not to mention you have to get off to buy groceries.
Clearly, these vegetables weren't bought at the market, which further confirms Yan Bugui's suspicion that Sun Zhengguo is capable and has powerful connections.
"It's good that you bought it. Take it back quickly, it's getting late, don't delay your business."
Sun Zhengguo didn't expect Yan Bugui to have changed today; he didn't even ask what was in the bag.
However, this suited his wishes, and he didn't have time to argue about it, so he quickly headed home.
Once home, Sun Zhengguo handed in his task and then left it at that.
Lin Wencui took the bag, opened it, and was overjoyed.
Her son only spent 5 yuan and didn't even ask for a ticket, yet he bought so many things. How could she not be happy?
However, Lin Wencui didn't have time to look at it. She quickly grabbed her things and headed to the kitchen.
Around 10:30 in the morning, Aunt Chen from the backyard led a young and pretty girl into the courtyard.
Yan Bugui, who was standing at the door, saw the girl and felt a little resentful. How come the Sun family got all the good things? His son was 19 years old this year, so why didn't anyone try to match them up?
If someone were to act as a matchmaker, we might even save on matchmaker fees.
Seeing Yan Bugui's poor and shabby appearance, Aunt Chen didn't have time to pay him any attention and took her niece to Sun Dajiang's house.
"Wen Cui, stop busying yourself. I've brought the person. Come out and take a look."
From afar, Aunt Chen could smell the aroma. When she got closer, she saw Lin Wencui busy in the kitchen and called out loudly.
"He's here, Aunt Chen, come in and have a seat."
Lin Wencui stopped what she was doing, quickly came out of the kitchen, and led the two people to the main room.
After arriving at the main room, the two sides briefly looked each other over and got to know each other. Lin Wencui then arranged for them to sit down.
"Zhengguo, go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it for Mom. Make sure it doesn't burn. It's almost done."
"Zheng'an, don't just stand there, hurry up and make some tea."
"Zheng Hong, go inside and get the melon seeds and candies for Aunt Chen and the others to try."
After Lin Wencui's series of arrangements, the room felt much more spacious, and then the two sides began to introduce themselves.
Lin Wencui first introduced her nephew, of course, only saying nice things, praising him for being handsome and earning a high salary, and almost asking, "What do you think, young lady?"
Aunt Chen had already told her niece about Sun Zhengdong's situation, but there was no harm in hearing it again.
After Lin Wencui finished her introduction, it was Aunt Chen's turn to introduce herself.
Aunt Chen was no slouch either; her niece, Wang Aifang, although temporarily unemployed, was very beautiful!
So Aunt Chen went on and on, praising the girl to the skies, saying that suitors had come knocking so many times that the doorstep was worn out, and that she was capable and filial at home. She used every good word she could think of in her life.
After the introductions were completed, Aunt Chen suggested that the two young people chat amongst themselves for a while.
So everyone went outside to give the two young people some space so they could get to know each other.
Lin Wencui returned to the kitchen, and Aunt Chen, having nothing else to do, went in to help.
"He's an older woman, do you think these two can make it work?"
"I don't know? Let's ask them after they finish talking."
Lin Wencui thought the girl was nice, but he didn't know what his nephew was thinking, so he could only say helplessly.
Of course, Aunt Chen also hoped it would work out, because then she would have someone to rely on in this compound.
Whether it will work out or not, Aunt Chen didn't know, but she was definitely going to have to eat today.
Looking at the dishes in the Sun family's kitchen, Aunt Chen couldn't help but exclaim! The Sun family is really generous; we're in for a treat today!
As noon approached, the two young people, having enjoyed their conversation, were temporarily stopped so everyone could start eating.
When all the dishes were served, Wang Aifang was very happy to see them, which showed that the man valued her highly.
She already had feelings for Sun Zhengdong, and now she was captivated by a table full of delicious food. She had already made up her mind that as long as the man next to her didn't mind, she would marry him.
Instead of just thinking about it, Wang Aifang did the opposite during the meal, frequently putting food on Sun Zhengdong's plate, saying that he had worked hard and should eat more.
Wang Aifang was very polite to Sun Dajiang and his wife, addressing them as "Uncle" and "Auntie" repeatedly, which made Lin Wencui very happy.
After the meal, there was no need for either of them to ask any more questions; Wang Aifang's attitude was clear: she would marry no one but him.
As for Sun Zhengdong, that simpleton, just by looking at his silly grin, you can tell he's secretly delighted!
Aunt Chen gave Lin Wencui a wink, and the two went outside.
"This woman is an old lady, and she already has two kids?"
Aunt Chen said with a happy smile.
In this situation, there's no point in waiting for a letter; even a fool could see that.
"It's settled, Aunt Chen, I should thank you! Your niece is indeed sensible, I have high hopes for her."
Lin Wencui was also very happy. If her brother-in-law's child got married, it would put many people's minds at ease.
"Then I'll go back and discuss it with my brother again, and see what the next steps should be?"
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply. It's settled then."
Hehehe!
Aunt Chen was delighted and led her niece back to the backyard.
Lin Wencui was satisfied. After finishing the housework, the group went to work together.
