"No, I'm starving. I didn't have time to eat on the whole journey. I came straight here after getting off the train!"
"I brought some chocolate that this little girl loves, so if she doesn't want to eat it, forget it."
Xu Wanning's eyes lit up. Chocolate? The chocolate Xu Ye gave her last time tasted so good that there were still a few left in the space that she couldn't bear to eat.
"Brother, wait a minute, I'll go cook for you."
She turned around and trotted into the kitchen, cooked a bowl of minced meat and egg noodles, and let Xu Ye eat a little first. She would make more delicious food to welcome him in the evening.
Xu Ye watched his sister chopping meat and cooking noodles skillfully, and he felt sad. His sister didn't know how to cook before, but now she can cook delicious dishes.
"Ningning, when did you learn to cook?"
"I remember you didn't like cooking before. You hated the smoke, so when mom and dad were not around, we would go to the state-owned restaurant to eat."
Xu Wanning lowered her head feeling a little guilty, and stammered to explain:
"After you went to Gangcheng, I learned a little cooking from Grandma Wang next door. After going to the countryside, I had to cook for myself, so I gradually became proficient!"
Xu Ye sat down, picked up his chopsticks and tasted the minced meat and egg noodles on the table, praising him:
"It's delicious! My sister is amazing. Even the noodles she cooks are so delicious!"
Xu Wanning blushed, holding her cheeks with both hands, and said shamelessly:
"That's right, don't you see who your sister is? There's nothing I can't learn. I'll show you my skills tonight and let you taste my specialty!"
Xu Ye raised the corners of his mouth and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, and soon the bowl was empty.
"Great, brother, I'm going to have a good meal tonight!"
After dinner, the brother and sister spent the whole afternoon chatting about family life.
Xu Wanning suggested taking Xu Ye out for a walk to experience the local customs and get familiar with the environment!
The brother and sister walked around the village one after the other, which aroused the curiosity of the villagers who were returning from work. The young man was very handsome and looked well-dressed, so he should come from a good family.
A few villagers couldn't help it and started gossiping.
"Xu Zhiqing, who is this?"
"Is this young man dating? I have a niece who is a good match for this guy. How about I introduce them to someone?"
"Xu Zhiqing, her niece is so ugly, and my daughter is so pretty. How about introducing my daughter to this young man?"
"Xu Zhiqing, don't listen to what they say. Their daughter is dark-skinned. I don't see any beauty in her. My daughter is so pretty!"
Wang Dahua came back with a basket of pig grass on her back and complained mercilessly:
"Come on, you guys, stop it. Xu Zhiqing's brother is so handsome! Why don't you take a look at your own daughters in the mirror? They're so ugly. How can they be worthy of that young man?"
Xu Ye smiled awkwardly, finally understanding what his sister meant by experiencing the "local customs"
"I appreciate the kindness of the ladies, but I have no plans to get married or find a partner right now."
The villagers looked very regretful. What a nice young man! Why didn’t he plan to get married and find a partner? It was such a pity!
Not far away, a trace of disappointment flashed across Wenjing's face. Why doesn't Brother Xu want to find a partner?
Next to him, Lin Qiqi stared at Xu Ye like an infatuated fan for a long time. Wow, Ningning's brother is really handsome!
