Chen Yao thought that the taciturn Gu Lin might really need some stimulation to open up, so she pretended to be shy and responded to Xu Huilan:
"Mom, if there really is a suitable person, then I will listen to your and my aunt's arrangements. After all, it's just a meeting, so there's nothing wrong with it."
Just meet and have a meal, and whether it's suitable or not is another matter. This is a truth that both parties understand, so Chen Yao doesn't need to worry about anything.
Xu Huilan was immediately amused: "You are much more cooperative than your brother."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "My brother is just too busy and has no time to think about these things."
Xu Huilan curled her lips and said, "If there's no time, he'll get old. Look at the young guys in our team who are about his age. Who doesn't have a baby or two?"
Chen Che was already 24 years old. In the countryside of that era, it was indeed time for him to get married and have children. What's more, most of his childhood playmates had children. It was no wonder that Xu Huilan was anxious.
However, Chen Yao still advised: "Mom, this kind of thing really can't be rushed. It's a matter of life and death, and my brother has to figure it out on his own."
Xu Huilan understood the truth, but she couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw others holding their grandchildren. Moreover, she was really worried that it would be more difficult for Chen Che to find a wife as he got older.
After all, what girl would like a rough old man instead of a young guy?
Plus, her son is stupid and naive, and he doesn't seem to know how to make a girl happy. Oh, it makes her worried.
But maybe her Yaoyao will be faster?
Maybe the first baby she will be able to hold in her arms will be a cute little grandson.
Thinking of this, Xu Huilan's heart began to flutter again, and she couldn't wait to hold the well-behaved and cute little baby in her arms.
…
Perhaps because Xu Huilan and Shen Yao were talking about Chen Che, Chen Che, who was digging a canal, sneezed several times in a row.
He smiled at Gu Lin sheepishly, then touched his nose uncomfortably and said, "Maybe my mother is talking about me to my sister right now."
Gu Lin showed some rare interest. He raised his eyes and looked at him and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Chen Che curled his lips and said dimly, "Nine out of ten, you're talking about me not getting married even though I'm older."
Gu Lin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you older? Aren't you only 24? If I remember correctly, you are even one year younger than me."
Then, for some reason, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Do your family members think 24 is old?"
Hearing this, Shen Che looked at Gu Lin in surprise. Why did he always feel that there was a hint of nervousness in the battalion commander's tone when he asked this question?
So, would a man like the battalion commander, who seems almost omnipotent, also be nervous because of his age?
Chen Che thought about it and answered him according to his own thoughts: "Captain, it shouldn't be. They just dislike me, not the fact that I'm 24 years old."
Gu Lin: That’s good.
Chen Che:???
Why did he feel like the battalion commander seemed... suddenly... relieved? Was it just his imagination?
He thought about it again and again, and asked Gu Lin curiously: "Battalion Commander, do your family members also urge you to get married?"
Gu Lin was stunned. Urge?
He couldn't help but recall that a few months ago when he was on vacation at home, his mother, Ms. Xu Yin, looked at him with a cold voice, her nose not a nose, her eyes not eyes, and said:
"If you haven't made any progress before the New Year this year, don't blame me for looking for a husband for you everywhere in the compound. It's still close anyway, and I can often take my grandchildren to their grandmother's house to play."
Gu Lin: ...
He immediately replied recklessly, "If you really want to have a baby that much, why don't you and my dad have another one?"
Then his father threw an angry teacup towards him. Fortunately, he dodged it in time, otherwise...
When Shen Che asked this question, it just happened to bring back this memory of his. However, he naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so -
He thought about it and replied calmly, "My family is fine."
When he said this, Shen Che was extremely envious. After all, he was younger than the battalion commander, but he was being urged to get married. However, the battalion commander was 25 years old and no one was urging him. Isn't he too comfortable?
What he didn't know was that the so-called comfortable Captain Gu was actually in an even more difficult situation than he was.
…
In the evening, while cooking, Chen Yao quietly dripped some spiritual spring water into the water tank at home, and then added some oil and some food from the kitchen.
She did all of this very cautiously, to the point where it was almost unnoticeable. After all, in this era, it was better to be cautious.
As for the food supplies in her space, when she officially starts working and gets paid, she can bring back a little meat or grain from time to time, and then she can say that she bought them with her salary and tickets.
During dinner in the evening, in order to celebrate Chen Yao's successful admission, Shen Zhishan got some wine from somewhere, poured some into everyone's bowl, and then clinked their bowls together.
"I'm very happy today, so I wanted to have a drink together. Come, let's clink glasses." Shen Zhishan said with a smile.
Xu Huilan followed up by saying, "I wish my daughter Yaoyao smooth sailing in her future work and all the best."
Shen Che: "I wish my sister all the best."
Gu Lin pursed his lips and said, "I wish you all the best."
…
It's just a little bit of wine, just a simple clink for the atmosphere and to make myself happy. There's no other meaning, and it won't make you drunk. I just want to taste it.
