Yang Yang had to admit, "She is indeed very pretty. She and your eldest cousin are a match made in heaven."
Wang Zhen teased her, "Old Five still knows about the talented scholar and the beautiful lady. Old Liu's brother has found the beautiful lady, but where is your talented scholar?"
Hearing this, Yang Yang's face drooped. "I think I should just follow the youngest. I'm still young, so there's no rush."
Xu Manman hadn't asked about the follow-up between Yang Yang and that person these days. Now when she heard this, she knew that the situation was probably not good.
Wang Zhen also heard about it from Yang Yang, "Why, did you break up with that guy?"
"Well, sort of. He retired and returned to his hometown."
When Xu Manman heard the result, she also knew the man's choice and patted her head. "It's okay, Fifth Sister. The next one will be better."
Wang Zhen also nodded. "Yes, Lao Wu, you are still young. We still have several years to go before graduation. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yang Yang looked around and said, "Hmm." But the disappointment in his eyes could not be dispelled.
Yang Yang's love life was full of twists and turns, but Chen Ming and Zhang Wenjun were doing well.
There were young couples killing time nearby. Time quickly entered July, which also meant that the final exams were approaching.
As her studies became more demanding and the weather got hotter, Xu Manman said she was unwilling to go out and suffer with the young couple no matter what.
Taking weather reasons into consideration and the advice of the helper, the two decided to meet at Xu's yard. It was not good for the two girls to go to other people's homes all the time, even if there were no adults around, so they would always bring Zhang Wenwu with them.
As a result, Xu Manman also took the opportunity to say that it was too pitiful to leave Jin Zichu alone at home. Therefore, every weekend, the Xu family yard was particularly lively.
However, except for Jin Zichu, everyone else has to work hard for the final exams, so it is impossible for them to play mahjong all day like before.
Under the grape trellis in the yard, there is a large summer bed with a low table on it. It is very comfortable to eat, read and write here in the summer.
Moreover, this is the grape harvest season. Bunches of plump grapes hang overhead, and you can just reach out and pick the freshest ones.
This grape variety is good, not sour at all, and the flesh is firm. It tastes even better than the rose variety she ate in her previous life, and tastes a bit like red grapes.
Xu Manman took a bamboo basket and put some waste newspaper underneath. The boy stretched out his long arms and took the scissors to cut the bunch of grapes. The girl took it and put it in the bamboo basket.
Some that were not fully ripe were left, and the rest filled four large bamboo baskets.
Chen Ming said, "While it's still early, Wenwu and I will go to the compound first."
With so many grapes ripening at the same time, Xu Manman and Chen Ming naturally could not eat them all, so they planned to harvest them today and give some to each family.
In the compound, Uncle Wang's family, Uncle Zhou's family, and Uncle Qian's family had to be sent off. Chen Ming meant that since they had already been sent off, they might as well go to Zhang's family as well, so that they wouldn't have to carry so many things when they went back at night.
"With so many, can you two handle it?" The speaker was Zhang Wenjun.
"Sure, Zichu made a shelf a while ago, and it can hold two baskets on each side steadily."
Two bicycles were loaded with four baskets of grapes. Chen Ming and Jin Zichu used their bicycles. Xu Manman's bicycle was a bit stretched to carry such heavy things.
The Zhang family does have bicycles, but they are used by Zhang's father and mother for work, so when the Zhang sisters come over, they usually take the bus.
In fact, Xu Manman was a little disappointed. If it was just Sister Wenjun, without so many burdens, wouldn't her cousin be able to pick her up and drop her off?
Imagine the scene: a handsome and tall boy in a white shirt is riding a bicycle, with his young and beautiful girlfriend in a skirt sitting on the back seat. The breeze blows, the boy's shirt bulges slightly, and the girl's skirt also flutters in the wind. Isn't this the most classic scene in campus romance?
She was just thinking about this situation for the time being. In the initial stage, even if Zhang's parents were worried, they would not dare to let their daughter go out alone with a boy. Moreover, although Chen Ming is much better now, they are still worried about leaving Xu Manman alone.
After Chen Ming and Zhang Wenwu left, the remaining Zhang sisters, Xu Manman and Jin Zichu were not idle either. Chen Ming and the others brought grapes from their own yard, but when Jin Zichu came this morning, he also brought two baskets of grapes. It was because of this that they thought of picking half of the grapes on the racks and giving them away first.
