Every Saturday after that, the brother and sister would go to the compound and see Liu Li's complexion getting better and better. The child had also grown significantly, his cheeks were plump and chubby, and he was so adorable.
Liu Li leaned against the headboard with a quilt covering her legs, holding a half-knitted hat for her son. Her son Dongdong was talking beside her, "Manman, you already have three or four nephews, don't you want to find a partner?"
"I'm still young, just like Lily said about me. I'm still a baby over 200 months old. I'm not really interested in finding a partner and getting married right now."
Liu Li was stunned for a long time by this joke. She counted on her fingers for a while before she understood what it was talking about. However, it made Xu Manman next to her laugh a lot.
"Go to hell, who would care about such a big baby?"
But to be honest, with Xu Manman's current appearance and temperament, this is the ideal daughter for the elders. Not to mention others, even her mother-in-law, every time she sees Xu Manman, her face becomes more affectionate before she even says a word.
"But my eldest cousin is really not young anymore. If you see anyone suitable, you can introduce them to me. Um...you can keep a few more. I have a lot of single brothers."
Xu Manman was indeed sincere in saying this. Chen Ming was born in 1955 and will be 24 after his birthday in the second half of this year. If he waits until graduation, it will take another two years, and he will be 26 by then. At this time, he is definitely an older young person.
She had met all her classmates when Chen Ming came to pick her up. There were a few who were interested in Chen Ming, but he didn't even glance at them. That meant they weren't attracted to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go to Liu Li.
There are several other cousins in the family. The eldest cousin Xu Jianbing is one and a half years older than Chen Ming, the second cousin is only two months older than Chen Ming, and the third cousin is only four months younger than Chen Ming. Aren’t they all waiting to find a wife?
Xu Manman counted on her fingers to Liu Li. As a younger sister, she was worrying about a group of single brothers. Liu Li didn't know what to say.
"My eldest uncle just brought his girlfriend home before the New Year. There's nothing wrong with boys getting married later now. It's not like when we were at the educated youth camp." Rather than saying that love is budding, it seems more like they are just keeping each other warm. There's nothing that can be done about it.
"I can't do anything about your other brothers who are all over the place, but Chen Ming, I can certainly help keep an eye on them."
It's her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhou. Everyone knows someone who has a girl of the right age. Besides, it would be more appropriate to ask them to introduce the girl. They know everything about the girl and will consider her family background in addition to her appearance and education. As long as the girl has no major problems with her character, she will basically be a good choice.
Moreover, Chen Ming himself is also very good, good-looking, tall, and has good character. He is also a college student with a bright future. Although his family is not as good as Xu's, his parents are both working and his younger brother is also a college student.
He has a good relationship with his in-laws, the Xu family, and they raise their children together, just like one family. Although he is not a native of Beijing, his household registration is not bad compared to those in Haishi.
Having lived in Beijing for almost two years, she followed her mother-in-law and listened to a lot of gossip about other people. She knew a lot about what people value nowadays, though not everything. So she thought it would not be difficult to find a partner for Chen Ming.
"Well, it's settled then. You keep an eye on it for me, and I'll go home and do my cousin's work."
Liu Li was stunned. "It turns out Chen Ming himself has no such intention, and it's just you, his younger sister, who's being too enthusiastic."
Xu Manman smiled awkwardly, "Every time I mentioned this to him, he changed the subject. Is he a little slow in the right mind?" She didn't dare to say out loud the horrifying guess in her heart.
"I don't know what to say about you two siblings. What are you talking about? You're the same person. He used to keep a close eye on you when you were at the educated youth camp. Look, Xue Mingxin is such a good person with good looks and a good family background. I heard from Zhou Ming that their grandfather got promoted to a higher level. Looking back now, it's a pity that you missed out on such a chance."
"That Xue... that was a long time ago. I really didn't have any feelings for him. Now that I think about it, it was a bit strange that he came up to me. I hadn't spoken to him much before that, so how could he..."
This is also the reason why Xu Manman finally refused firmly. Although she was moved, she couldn't understand it when she looked back. He seemed very affectionate, but she just felt a little awkward. In addition, she had many secrets of her own, so she decided to give up.
