Chapter 261: Grandma Cai Swallows Paper
"What?! Xiaoshan and Yinzhu?!"
Li Xiu sat up straight with sparkling eyes. She wanted to say something but her man covered her mouth the next moment.
"Keep your voice down. Your son is shy."
Lian Dahai sat beside the bed and whispered to his wife all the details he had observed today.
"You didn't see Xiaoshan's expression. His eyes were almost glued to Yinzhu. He was really well hidden."
Li Xiu didn't know what she was thinking about, her face turned red, and she pinched the man's waist.
"Just like his father."
After hearing this, Lian Dahai was reminded of his youth twenty years ago and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It would be better to be like me, with a good wife and a good son."
Lian Dahai feels that except for his parents who are a bit annoying, everything else in his life is great.
"Xiuniang, what do you think? Xiaoshan likes Yinzhu very much. I think they are both interested in each other."
"I like Yinzhu, too. Her mother is kind and has taught her well. She has been able to support a family at a young age, and has never complained about raising Jinbao. It makes me feel sorry for her."
As Li Xiu was speaking, she suddenly remembered what Yinzhu had said, that she would wait until Jinbao grew up before getting married.
"No wonder Xiaoshan refused to marry me when I asked him to find a girl. He refused several times and I thought he really didn't want to get married soon. It turns out he already has a crush on someone."
This is a bit troublesome.
"Master, Yinzhu has told everyone in the village that she will wait until Jinbao grows up before getting married. It's not a good idea for us to propose marriage, right? Has Xiaoshan told us about his plans?"
"Xiaoshan? This guy is prepared to wait patiently. If I hadn't discovered it, he would probably have waited until Jinbao grew up before letting us propose marriage."
Even the sea wants to hit his son on the head.
Once you have found a wife you like, you must quickly bring her to your home. If you delay, things may go wrong easily.
Over the next few years, who knows what accidents might happen.
"Since you also like Yinzhu, I will go talk to Xiaoshan and ask him to discuss it with Yinzhu."
"What are you discussing?"
"Let's discuss whether to get engaged first or get married right away."
Lian Dahai already had a plan.
"If Yinzhu doesn't want to get married so soon, then let's get engaged first. That way, when Xiaoshan comes over to give her some gifts or help her out in the future, he won't have to do it secretly and get talked about. We can also openly invite her home to have fun together during festivals."
Li Xiu nodded repeatedly.
"If Yinzhu is not opposed to getting married and is only concerned about Jinbao, then we can build another house in our yard. When Yinzhu moves in, she can take Jinbao to live with her. Jinbao is a good kid and will definitely get along well with our family."
Li Xiu had no opinion.
Since the head of the household has thought of everything and she also likes Yinzhu, there is nothing wrong with this marriage.
"Then you should go and tell your son as soon as possible. If he really gets married, our family will be very busy."
The eldest son is getting married, the second son is also getting married, and the family needs to build a house.
Li Xiu only regretted that her health was not good enough and she needed some time to recover before she could help her family.
"I'll go find Xiaoshan right away. Xiuniang, don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself. Our family will be lively in the future."
Li Xiu nodded seriously. She had to take medicine and recuperate in order to recover her health as soon as possible.

"Wow!! What is this!! So ugly!"
Anan was embarrassed as soon as he entered the kitchen."
On the table stood two big, ugly, spider-like things.
"It looks ugly, but tastes delicious."
Jiang Wan was boiling water, preparing to steam a large pot of seafood for lunch.
Today, they caught four coconut crabs on Coconut Island. She and Yinzhu Xiaoshan grilled two of them. When they got off the boat, they wanted to give one to Uncle Dahai, but he refused.
So now there are two coconut crabs left at home, and Jiang Wan plans to steam them and eat them. She will also steam the blue crabs at the same time.
Jiang Wan was not worried at all about the big pot of cold food.
Who made her have a mother who is a doctor?
After eating crabs, drink some ginger tea and take a pill to ward off the cold, and I guarantee that nothing will happen.
"Anan, do you remember what you said when you were eating sea urchin?"
Anan thought for a moment.
I think I said sea urchin was ugly when I saw it, but it turned out to be so delicious.
My face turns red when I think back on it.
“Is this thing really that delicious?”
Jiang Wan nodded affirmatively.
“Better than sea urchin!”
Anan was somewhat shocked and somewhat unconvinced.
"Things in the sea are really strange. The uglier they look, the tastier they taste?"
She watched with curiosity as Jiang Wan put the two ugly things into the pot, covered it and steamed them.
"This is called coconut crab, a type of crab. It will be steamed in a while. Anan, go call Baozhu."
Anan laughed when he heard it.
"Why bother calling me? I'll have something delicious ready in a minute. I'll come right over by myself."
"Well, you're talking about me behind my back again!"
As soon as Baozhu entered the room, she rushed straight towards Anan, stretching out her claws to tickle her. The two chased each other and ran into the yard.
It’s only when it’s almost time for dinner that you see them making so much noise. Normally, they are forced by their mother to study medicine, just like the good kids.
"Ouch! You have no eyes, you little bitch!"
An unpleasant voice indicates that the person is difficult to get along with.
Jiang Wan thought it sounded familiar, so she leaned over and took a look and laughed.
It turned out to be the famous Mrs. Cai
Ever since her family had their heads shaved, almost no one was seen leaving her house during the day.
Today she actually came home wearing a headscarf.
What a rare guest.
Jiang Wan looked at her covering her head with a headscarf, scolded Anan and Baozhu, and went into the pharmacy.
If I remember correctly, her family still owes money to my mother for medicine. What is she doing here today?
Pay back the money?
Don't believe it.
Jiang Wan waved to Baozhu and Anan, asking them to help watch the fire, and went to the pharmacy.
"Doctor Yin, please prescribe some medicine. They all say you are a miracle doctor, you will definitely be able to do it."
Mrs. Cai changed her arrogant attitude in the yard and her tone became extremely gentle.
"Grandma Cai, I've told you that your son's illness is something I can't prescribe because I don't have the pulse and I'm not good at it. You can take him to the city and try."
Jiang Wan almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
It turned out that Grandma Cai wanted my mother to cure her son's illness.
"Doctor Yin, you are a miracle doctor! I believe you can cure him! Please just give me some medicine. My son is still so young. If he can't find a wife, he will have no one to see him off. How miserable it would be. Please have mercy on him."
Mrs. Cai begged Yin Huaixi pitifully, but Yin Huaixi remained unmoved and silently took out a small notebook from the drawer.
"Grandma Cai, since you are here, let's settle the bill first."
Yin Huaixi opened the booklet, took out the abacus and started clacking away.
"Your daughter-in-law's medicine and meals are all included in my bill, the total is..."
Without waiting for Yin Huaixi to finish speaking, Mrs. Cai tore off the paper and put it into her mouth.
Chew, chew, eat...
