Shen Lang smiled slightly: "Auntie, you still look the same, still so young."
"You little rascal, you're so good with words." Aunt Ning patted Shen Lang's shoulder happily after being praised, then looked at Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er behind Shen Lang and asked, "San'er, who are these two?"
Shen Lang pointed to Yu Xian'er and introduced her with a smile: "Auntie, this is my girlfriend, her name is Yu Xian'er."
He then introduced her to Yu Xian'er, saying, "Xian'er, this is my aunt."
Yu Xian'er nodded slightly to Aunt Ning: "Hello, Auntie."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ning immediately walked up to Yu Xian'er, took her hand with her rough hands, and exclaimed, "Shen Lang is such a lucky guy to have found such a beautiful girlfriend like you. You're even prettier than the celebrities on TV."
Yu Xian'er smiled gently and said, "Auntie, you flatter me."
Then Aunt Ning said to Shen Lang, "Third son, the girl is so beautiful, you must treat her well and not bully her."
Yu Xian'er smiled and said, "Auntie, Shen Lang is very good to me."
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Ning looked at Yu Xian'er with increasing satisfaction, just like she was looking at her own daughter-in-law: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come to Auntie's house, Auntie will cook for you."
Yu Xian'er turned her gaze to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Auntie." Seeing that Shen Lang agreed, Yu Xian'er also agreed.
Then Aunt Ning pulled Yu Xian'er along ahead, and praised the women resting in the shade of the trees, "Look, this is San'er's girlfriend."
It's like introducing your own daughter-in-law.
"Wow! That mistress's really made something of herself, finding such a beautiful girlfriend."
"No wonder she's a city girl, she's so pretty."
"..."
The older women kept praising it.
Aunt Ning proudly pulled Yu Xian'er toward her home.
Shuang'er and Shen Lang walked side by side behind, and Shuang'er said with a hint of resentment, "Young Master, why didn't you introduce me?"
Shen Lang glanced at her: "I said you're my little maid?"
Shuang'er gave a soft hum: "I am your head housekeeper."
"...part-time maid"
Shen Lang looked at Shuang'er, who was dressed in sportswear and had her hair in a high ponytail, and said with disdain, "No, your feet stink."
Then he took a quick step forward.
Enraged, Shuang'er behind him silently bared her teeth and claws at Shen Lang's back.
As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Ning called out to the house, "Huanhuan, your third brother is back."
Then a figure suddenly rushed out of the room: "Third Brother?"
Shen Lang looked at the short girl in front of him, waved, and smiled, "Xiao Huan!"
"Oh! Third Brother, you're really back!" The girl ran happily to Shen Lang, opening her arms as if to hug him. But seeing two other very pretty girls beside Shen Lang, she quickly withdrew her arms.
"You brat, you've already graduated from university and you're still so reckless." Aunt Ning scolded her with a smile, then introduced Yu Xian'er to her daughter: "This is your third brother's girlfriend."
The girl bowed slightly very politely: "Hello, sister! My name is Chen Huan, and I'm Third Brother's sister!"
Aunt Ning smiled at Yu Xian'er and said, "Miss, don't mind her. This crazy girl has been close to San'er since she was little."
Yu Xian'er smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, Auntie."
"Alright! You young people can chat all you want. I'll go cook for you. Your uncle caught a wild rabbit yesterday, and I'll make it for you."
As she spoke, Aunt Ning walked toward her own kitchen.
At this moment, Shen Huan no longer had eyes for Shen Lang. Instead, she ran up to Yu Xian'er, staring intently at her, and said, "Sister, look closely."
Yu Xian'er covered her mouth and smiled: "You look beautiful too, little sister."
Shen Huan lowered her head in disappointment: "I'm not pretty at all."
"Am I pretty or not!" Shuang'er jumped out at this moment, pointing to herself with her finger.
Shen Huan glanced at Shuang'er and quickly nodded: "You're beautiful too, sister! But who are you?"
No one introduced Shuang'er to her, so she didn't know who Shuang'er was.
Shuang'er's big eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something, then a mischievous smile appeared on her lips as she said, "I'm also your third brother's girlfriend. Sister Xian'er is your third brother's first wife, and I'm his second wife!"
"Ah!" Shen Huan felt her mind was a little slow to process what was happening, and asked blankly, "Really?"
"Of course..."
Before Shuang'er could finish speaking, Shen Lang slapped her on the back of the head.
Shen Lang then explained to Shen Huan, "This is my housekeeper; she was just joking with you."
"Oh, oh!" Shen Huan nodded: "You scared me to death. I thought you really had two wives, Third Brother."
"Hmph." Shuang'er snorted heavily, then pouted and turned her head to the side.
Looking at her sulking expression, Shen Lang thought to himself: Why does this girl seem so in need of discipline? Should I find a chance to take her in?
Then Shen Huan warmly invited the three of them to sit in her living room, serving them tea and water.
Shen Lang and Shen Huan had a pretty good relationship. They often played together when they were very young, and Shen Huan was Shen Lang's little shadow. After Shen Lang left Nanhui Village, they saw each other much less often. They could only meet occasionally when he returned to the village.
But Shen Huan, being a stubborn and unyielding person, started chattering incessantly with Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er after sitting down, asking them all sorts of questions. This was a bit overwhelming for Yu Xian'er, who rarely interacted with strangers.
Fortunately, Shuang'er was able to hold on, and then the two of them sat together, their little mouths never stopping.
Before long, it was noon.
Aunt Ning prepared a table full of dishes, including chicken, fish, and braised pork. The most tempting dish was the wild rabbit meat in the pressure cooker.
The vegetarian dishes included shredded potatoes and stir-fried eggs with chives...
The meal consisted of a mix of meat and vegetables, with over a dozen dishes in total.
Moreover, Aunt Ning knew that Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er were from the city, so she specially made a pot of soup.
At Aunt Ning's urging, the group sat around a small table.
Aunt Ning pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile, "Miss Xian'er, this is our rural food, please don't mind it!"
Yu Xian'er smiled and said, "How could that be, Auntie? I should thank you for cooking so many dishes to treat us."
"Eat quickly! Eat quickly!"
After taking his seat, Shen Lang asked while eating, "Auntie, isn't my uncle home?"
Aunt Ning said, "Your uncle went to Xiao Huan's aunt's house to help with the wheat harvest. He won't be back until evening."
Shen Lang nodded, then asked Shen Huan, "Xiao Huan, now that you've graduated from university, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam and start looking for a job?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Huan looked distressed: "Third Brother, I really don't want to study anymore, but my parents insist that I take the postgraduate entrance exam. Can you help me persuade them?"
"You brat, what good job can you find if you don't pursue a master's degree?" Aunt Ning said fiercely. "College graduates are everywhere these days. What future do you have without a higher education?"
Shen Huan pouted and whispered in protest, "My third brother hasn't even gone to university yet."
