When the first batch of vegetable pancakes came out of the oven, I heard voices outside. Listening carefully, I recognized the familiar voices.
Su Chenhao, why is he here? Thinking of what Li Meihua said before, it seems that the person my second brother went to ask for help was Su Chenhao.
Qiao Xiaoshan led Su Chenhao into his room. In his haste to leave, he didn't even tidy up the things on the kang (a heated brick bed). He quickly took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, and rolled up the quilt to the side.
"I'm usually too lazy to tidy up the house, so it's like this. Don't laugh at me, Brother Chenhao."
Su Chenhao sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). "My family is similar to yours. We're both bachelors, so who's going to laugh at whom? No one cleans up my house either; it's just piled up to the side."
"Haha! That's right, let's not make fun of each other."
The hardships of being a single man are only truly understood by those who have experienced it firsthand; the bed is always cold at night.
"You're so frivolous! When you sleep alone, no one's going to steal your blanket. If it's warm, it'll catch fire."
Qiao Xiaoshan was amused and burst into laughter.
Qiao Xiaoni overheard their conversation unintentionally; men really do talk about anything.
Qiao Xiaoshan was in a better mood and less reserved than before. "Haven't you found a girlfriend in all these years? I've heard that the girls out there are very pretty. Haven't you found one you like?"
Su Chenhao is already over 25 years old, which is considered quite old for a young man in the countryside.
People usually get engaged at 20, date for a year or two, and then get married. By 25, they already have kids crawling all over the place.
Su Chenhao: "It's not as easy to get by outside as you imagine, and besides, I don't have that kind of interest."
"You're thinking about getting a wife, aren't you? Have your family set you up with any? What kind of girl are you looking for?"
"They haven't arranged any matches for me yet. You know my family's circumstances; the number of girls we can find is very limited."
I don't have many requirements, as long as it's a woman, that way it won't be so cold when I sleep at night.
"You little rascal! Is that all you ask for? That's too unambitious. Two people need to be compatible to be together."
"Otherwise, what's the point of arguing all the time? The most important thing about the wife I want is that she understands me and silently supports me. That's what gives our lives something to look forward to." Su Chenhao chuckled after saying this. "Such a person is hard to find. You're still too young. You'll understand when you're older."
Qiao Xiaoshan touched his head and said, "I don't quite understand. You've traveled all over the country and seen more than me, so you must have higher expectations of me."
However, I do know one thing: fate determines who is meant to be. Perhaps you'll meet the girl you've been longing for without even realizing it.
"Maybe!" Su Chenhao said, glancing towards the kitchen. A rich aroma wafted to his nose. He was hungry because he hadn't eaten breakfast, and he rubbed his stomach.
"You called me over so early in the morning, shouldn't your family provide breakfast?"
"I'll take care of it! Breakfast is a must. The vegetable pancakes should be ready by now. I'll go get you one. My sister makes such delicious vegetable pancakes, they're absolutely amazing. You didn't see the scene yesterday when they were buying things, they were fighting over them like they were free."
"Okay, go get me one. I want to try it and see what's so good about this vegetable pancake," Su Chenhao replied without hesitation. He had been called over to help out, and since he didn't have anything to do at home, it was normal for the Qiao family to provide a meal.
