Old Mrs. Xu was surprised to see the three people's harvest: "So many mushrooms, eh? And pheasants and rabbits?"
Xu Xiaoyao was more talkative than Hehua. She chattered away telling Old Lady Xu about what happened in the mountains.
"This is your luck." Old Mrs. Xu gave a thumbs up.
Xu Xiaoyao scratched her hair and smiled foolishly: "All the luck I had over the past ten years has been used up today."
Lotus felt that this sentence was wrong, and suddenly said: "No, from today on, you will have good luck every day."
Xu Xiaoyao also responded quickly. She nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, from today on, you will have good luck every day."
The four of them cleaned the mushrooms they picked.
Save some for eating today, and dry the rest in the sun.
Old Lady Zhang came to chat with Old Lady Xu. Seeing a lot of mushrooms drying outside, she was surprised and said, "Old sister, you went up the mountain to pick mushrooms today. My goodness, what a good harvest! Remember to call me next time you go up the mountain."
Old Lady Xu pointed at Xu Jiajia and the other two and said, "I didn't go up the mountain. Those three did."
Old Mrs. Zhang looked in the direction of Old Mrs. Xu's hand, her eyes lighting up: "Whose relative is this? She's so beautiful!"
Although Xu Xiaoyao and He Hua are not as pretty as Xu Jiajia, they each have their own merits.
Mrs. Xu: "Relatives from my hometown are like my own granddaughter."
Old Lady Zhang looked at Lotus and whispered to Old Lady Xu, "Does she have a partner?"
Old Mrs. Xu could see that Old Mrs. Zhang had a good impression of Lotus. However, after what she had experienced, she didn't know if she had gotten over it. "No."
Old Lady Zhang spoke in a loud voice, and Hehua heard it clearly. She was very opposed to marriage, and her voice was excited when she spoke: "Grandma Xu, I won't find a partner or get married. I will live alone in the future."
Old Mrs. Zhang didn't know what Lotus had been through. She just thought this person was quite strange. These days, which woman doesn't get married? "If someone doesn't get married, when they die, there's no place to bury them."
Lotus bit her lip and said, "I'm not afraid."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Old Lady Xu immediately agreed with her and said, "Don't worry, I won't introduce you to anyone without your consent."
Tears welled up in Hehua's eyes as she spoke word by word, "I won't marry in the future. When Jiajia and Xiaoyao have children, I'll adopt them as godparents and treat their children as my own."
She was very emotional, and Xu Jiajia was afraid that she would collapse, so she nodded immediately: "Of course, no problem. In fact, in this world, there is no rule that women must get married. Just follow your own ideas and don't care about what others think."
With Xu Jiajia's comfort, He Hua felt a little better. She tried hard to hold back her tears and choked out, "Hmm..."
Not knowing what was going on, Mrs. Zhang was stunned. Was this man mentally ill? What woman would cry at the mention of marriage?
She looked at Old Mrs. Xu, wanting her to help her solve her doubts.
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head at her.
Old Lady Zhang: “…”
Lotus doesn't want to find a partner.
Old Lady Zhang looked at Xu Xiaoyao again: "Old sister, does this person have a partner?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to answer, Xu Xiaoyao rushed to say, "No, no, grandma, do you want to introduce me to someone?"
Old Lady Zhang does have a good match: "Yes, there is, but the young man's position and rank cannot allow him to join the army."
With Xu Jiajia's help, Xu Xiaoyao is very confident about her future work. She grinned and smiled gently: "It's okay, as long as the young man is motivated and treats me well."
At this point, Xu Xiaoyao remembered something, and the smile on her face instantly turned serious: "My parents at home also need to be well. My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it dealing with my parents-in-law."
Old Lady Zhang thought this girl was really opinionated, and the more so, the more she wanted to match the couple up: "The boy's parents are related to me, and they are both honest and decent people."
Xu Xiaoyao was very straightforward: "Okay, then you arrange it and let us meet."
Old Mrs. Zhang is very efficient in her work.
The next day, he brought Captain Zhang and Xu Xiaoyao to meet by chance.
Company Commander Zhang is about 1.78 meters tall.
Dark skin.
The teeth are very white.
Grin.
Only the teeth are visible.
When Xu Xiaoyao almost fell, Captain Zhang reached out to help her up.
Set the person straight.
He immediately let go of Xu Xiaoyao.
Xu Xiaoyao said thank you and looked at Mrs. Zhang: "Grandma Zhang, good morning, where are you going?"
Old Lady Zhang glanced at Captain Zhang next to her and said with a smile, "Let's go to the grocery store."
Xu Xiaoyao nodded: "Then I'll go find Jiajia first. Come to Jiajia's house when you have time."
Old Lady Zhang responded: "Okay, next time you go up the mountain, remember to take me with you."
"no problem."
Wait until the people leave.
Old Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask the young man next to her if he liked it.
Seeing that his eyes were glued to Xu Xiaoyao.
Without asking, she knew what the other party was thinking.
However, in this matter, not only the man has to like it, but the woman also has to like it.
"In the afternoon, I'll go to Xu's house and ask Xiaoyao. If she's interested, you two can try dating for a few days."
Captain Zhang asked back, "If she likes him, shouldn't they get engaged first? Why do they need to date for a few more days?"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "No need to be so anxious?"
Captain Zhang was of course anxious. He had finally found someone he liked, and if he didn't marry her, he'd feel uneasy even on missions. "Deputy Battalion Commander Shen only took three days from meeting to getting married. Compared to him, I'm pretty slow."
Old Lady Zhang: “…”
Mrs. Zhang, who had originally planned to go to Xu's house in the afternoon, arrived at Xu's house at ten o'clock in the morning at the urging of Company Commander Zhang.
This point.
Xu Xiaoyao is reading in the rented house and is not at the Xu family.
