I didn't expect that she is so sensible now. The last time I came here, this girl was still a willful child!
"Okay, okay, Lao Xu, it's a pity that my family only has a useless little boy, otherwise I would have wanted to marry you."
Father Xu glared at him with disdain and retorted unhappily:
"I say, Lao Zhang, please give up this idea right away. I can't help but want to beat up that brat of yours. Please don't try to harm my daughter."
Liu Jianshe, who was standing by, burst into laughter and then started to complain:
"Hey, Lao Zhang, it's been so long, and you still haven't given up the idea of marrying Guohua."
"I'm not making fun of you, but look at that beautiful girl Xu, she's also well-behaved and sensible."
"Look at that brat of yours. He hangs out with a bunch of hooligans every day. He's either fighting, drinking, or molesting girls."
"Do you think Miss Xu would be interested in him?"
Zhang Shengli frowned when he heard this. He had a headache whenever he mentioned his son, who was always teasing cats and dogs all day long.
This girl is so sensible now, but that boy in his family plays rogue to him every day, trying to trick him into giving him money. If he wasn't his biological father, he would have beaten the brat to death.
"Fuck you, don't mention that brat to me. I'll just pretend I don't have this son."
"I'm planning to send him to the countryside too. He's been idling around at home all day, and it makes me angry when I see him."
The corner of Xu Wanning's mouth twitched. She remembered from her mother's memory who this bad boy they were talking about was. He was Zhang Wenbin, the son of Zhang Shengli.
He grew up with his master, but when he was young, this kid often played pranks to scare his master. His master often frightened him and cried loudly, so gradually his master stopped playing with him.
Later I heard that this guy often hung out with a group of unscrupulous young men. He had long hair and looked like a typical gangster.
Xu Wanning turned around and went to the kitchen to cut a large plate of braised pig's head, and also cut some braised large intestines and other braised pig offal.
There were a total of eight dishes and one soup, which was considered an excellent meal at that time, with plenty of meat, soup and vegetables.
Several grown men ate with grease drooling in their mouths, praising her cooking skills as they ate. They ate all the dishes on the table cleanly and almost lay on the table to lick the plates.
He also drank half a bottle of Moutai liquor, and when he left, he kept muttering that the food here is better than what the chef in the state-owned restaurant makes, and he wants to come back for a free meal next time.
Xu Wanning cleaned up the dishes with a smile, then went to the kitchen to wash them, cleaned up the mess, and then turned back to her room to rest.

Late at night, Han Jinghuai tossed and turned on the hot kang, but couldn't fall asleep. His heart felt like an old house on fire, burning hot. He had no choice but to get up and take a cold shower in the yard.
After he came back and lay down, he still couldn't sleep, thinking that he must have been suffering from lovesickness. Ever since the little girl came home, he had no appetite and no desire to eat or drink.
His mind started to wander. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the little girl's cute and lovely appearance. He had been suffering from insomnia for several nights in a row.
Han Jinghuai sighed deeply. He guessed that the heartless boy had already forgotten about him and must be happy at home every day.
He was the only one who was sick with homesickness and wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Haicheng immediately.
Thinking of this, he simply got up from the kang and refused to sleep. Since he couldn't fall asleep anyway, he ran to the yard and chopped firewood like crazy all night long. He didn't feel sleepy at all until dawn.
In the morning, when Zhao Erniu came in from outside, he stared at the dark circles under his eyes in surprise, then scratched his head and asked curiously:
"Brother Han, you haven't been chopping wood all night, have you?"
