Backyard, Aunt Chen's house
Aunt Chen was waiting anxiously. She knew Lin Wencui would arrive soon, but she didn't know if her niece would be so fortunate.
"Is Aunt Chen home?"
Lin Wencui knew, of course, that someone was home and the door was open, but out of politeness, she called out first.
"I'm here! The door's open, just come in, no need to be so polite."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Chen came out of the house.
“Aunt Chen, I’m so sorry! I just asked Zheng Guo, and he already has a girlfriend, so I’m afraid your niece…”
Lin Wencui was too embarrassed to continue, but she had already conveyed her meaning.
"It's alright, it's alright, maybe my Aifang just isn't lucky enough!"
Lin Wencui didn't know what to say, and turned to go back.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Wencui's mind. She thought of her nephew, Sun Zhengdong. It seemed that Zhengdong was also 19 years old this year, and it was time for him to find a partner.
Then Lin Wencui turned her head and said shyly.
"By the way, Aunt Chen, how old is your niece this year?"
Aunt Chen was feeling down right now! And then Lin Wencui suddenly pulled this stunt. What was she thinking?
Your eldest son already has a girlfriend, so you're just trying to make this old woman happy!
But then Aunt Chen suddenly remembered, "My eldest son has a girlfriend, but what about my second son? How could I be so stupid?"
Thinking about all this, Aunt Chen became excited again and said with a smile.
"Our Aifang is 18 years old this year. How about we try to matchmake your second son with her?"
"No, no, no! Don't misunderstand, my second son already has a girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen was speechless. She had become a chameleon again. It turned out that she was just teasing me. Just as she was about to explode, Lin Wencui spoke up.
“My nephew, Sun Zhengdong, has also come to our compound. He is 19 years old this year, a level 2 electrician at the steel rolling mill, earning 39.5 yuan a month. He also has a junior high school education. Do you think you can help them get together?”
After she finished speaking, Aunt Chen's expression improved. She had met Sun Zhengdong before; he was good-looking and earned a decent salary, better than the young people in the compound.
"I've met that kid. Here's what I'll do: I'll go see my brother in the next couple of days and tell him about the kid. If my brother agrees, we can arrange a time to meet. What do you think?"
"Alright! We'll do as you say, Aunt Chen. Thank you for your trouble. Don't worry, if it works out, we'll make sure you get your matchmaker's fee."
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it more grass. Lin Wencui was no exception and promised her a reward afterward.
Aunt Chen also completed the task, although it was not as expected, it was still quite good.
After the two reached an agreement, Aunt Chen happily went back to her house, and Lin Wencui also happily went home.
During dinner that evening, when Sun Dajiang learned about his son's situation, he was overjoyed and drank several extra glasses of wine, praising Sun Zhengguo profusely.
After dinner, Sun Zhengguo was pestered by his younger siblings, who insisted that he tell them what his new sister-in-law looked like.
Sun Zhengguo was so pestered that he had no choice but to tell them that she was very beautiful, and that they could imagine how beautiful she was.
The brother and sister asked for a long time, but got nowhere. They vowed that they would go with their brother on his next date. Sun Zhengguo replied that they were dreaming and that there was no way they were going to meet him.
Finally, the brother and sister were not satisfied. In order to see what their sister-in-law looked like, they came up with a new idea: to invite Yu Li and her sister along so that everyone could go and have fun together, and that would not seem out of place.
Sun Zhengguo only replied that he could consider it, and then said nothing more, indicating that he still didn't want to take them with him.
The next morning, Sun Zhengguo got up early again and began practicing his martial arts.
At this point, his kung fu had reached the peak of Ming Jin two years prior.
After completing a set of punches, Sun Zhengguo realized that he could no longer advance and his qi and blood strength had stopped increasing.
This indicates that the Ming Jin (manifest strength) has reached its limit, and further practice is useless unless one breaks through to An Jin (hidden strength).
Seeing that it was having no effect, Sun Zhengguo decided to give up. He also had medicinal herbs in his space, so he could start preparing to break through to the Dark Force realm.
"Hey! Zhengguo, you're not practicing today. It's not that I'm scolding you, but you should have done this a long time ago. Now that you're dating, you should spend more time going out and see when you can bring your wife home."
Lin Wencui was quite happy to see that her son had stopped practicing martial arts. "Practicing punches every day is nothing compared to enjoying the company of your wife," she said.
"No, Mom, Xiaowei is at work and doesn't have time right now. I'm going to the countryside to see Grandpa about something."
If Sun Zhengguo wants to break through to the level of internal strength, he definitely needs to go to the countryside. He can't try to break through blindly; at the very least, he needs to talk to his grandfather.
"Since there's something urgent, hurry back! Things aren't easy in the countryside either; there's a food shortage everywhere."
Lin Wencui was afraid that her son would not know the gravity of the situation and would harm their relatives back home, so she quickly gave him instructions.
"It's okay, Mom. I'll prepare food for them. If our family or relatives ever run out of food, just come to me."
The famine has only just begun, and no relatives have come to visit yet. If we wait a few more months, it will be hard to say what will happen. That's why Sun Zhengguo told Lin Wencui about it in advance so that she would be aware of the situation.
"Alright, alright! I know you've become capable, so I won't interfere anymore."
In recent years, Sun Zhengguo has often managed to bring back some good things, not to mention grain. He and his wife even know about the house in Ju'er Hutong.
The couple didn't ask any further questions, assuming it was just money their child had earned from translation fees over the years, along with supplies acquired through their connections.
After talking to his mother, Sun Zhengguo, who wasn't one to hesitate, decided to go today since he had made up his mind.
After all, he didn't plan to stay for long; once he broke through to the inner strength level, he would go home, which wouldn't interfere with his date.
"Hey! Bro, where are you headed?"
Sun Zheng'an, who had just gotten up, saw his brother packing his clothes and asked curiously.
"I'm going to the countryside for a few days. I'm about to make a breakthrough in my kung fu, so I'll talk to my grandfather."
Sun Zheng'an also wanted to go out and have fun, but he knew that food was scarce everywhere, and he couldn't very well go and harm his family! So he decided against it and didn't even mention it.
"I'll be away from home for the next few days, so please keep an eye on things and make dinner early tonight. Mom and Dad are tired after a long day, so they'll be happy to have a meal when they get back. Don't let them stay out all the time."
"Don't worry, brother, I've done this kind of work plenty of times. But you need to come back soon, we haven't met your wife yet!"
"Okay, okay! I'll take him home sometime, alright?"
Sun Zhengguo made a worthless promise, and only then did Sun Zheng'an feel satisfied and go to wash up.
After finishing breakfast, Sun Zhengguo said goodbye to his family and headed straight to the bus station.
