Yan Yan said naively, "If I were his fiancée, I wouldn't break off the engagement. So what if he has loans? He'll make it up quickly in business. Where can you find a man who's both a former soldier and so handsome?"
Su Xueli had a sudden inspiration and said with a smile, "That's what I thought too. That girl is unlucky. Let's see which lucky girl will choose him."
The two looked around the large shower pool and then at two individual shower stalls, both of which were spotless, with no dirt even in the nooks and crannies.
Su Xueli said sincerely, "With this kind of work ethic, it's no wonder that future generations will prosper."
"What did you say?" Yan Yan asked.
Su Xueli quickly corrected herself: "Oh, I meant he'll definitely make a fortune in the future."
"Have you two watched enough? Let's start grilling the meat, you have to work together!" Wei Mingshen called from outside.
The two of them quickly went outside.
Wow, Shao Jiang has really upgraded his equipment!
The tattered cotton coat she wore earlier was replaced by a pair of light blue jeans, a black leather jacket, and white sneakers.
His hair was combed, his beard was shaved, and he looked incredibly handsome.
"Shao Jiang is so handsome!" Su Xueli praised without reservation.
Shao Jiang grinned and chuckled, "Sister-in-law has good taste; no wonder she took a liking to my husband, Lao Wei."
Su Xueli joked, "If I had met you earlier, he wouldn't have stood a chance."
"Hahaha..." Shao Jiang laughed heartily.
Yan Yan laughed along with her.
Wei Mingshen didn't laugh. Instead, he asked her with a straight face, "What kind of taste do you have? Compared to me, he's only average-looking."
Yan Yan laughed so hard she squatted down on the ground.
The four chatted and laughed as they began preparing the barbecue. Shao Jiang lit the charcoal in the basin, Wei Mingshen went to thaw the frozen rabbit in warm water, and Su Xueli and Yan Yan went to prepare the seasonings.
Yan Yan laughed and said to Su Xueli in the kitchen, "The two of them are so funny. They made me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. You are so lucky to live with such an interesting person."
Su Xueli's heart sank, and she held back what she wanted to say: Today is a happy day, so let's not talk about unhappy things.
She said, "Yes, it's nice to be with a man who exudes masculinity like this. Yan Yan, why don't you just marry Shao Jiang?"
Yan Yan pushed her with a "Ya!" and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pinch your mouth."
Su Xueli glared at her, "You're biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a kind heart."
There were two rabbits, both very plump. They were marked with slits and stuck on two iron skewers. Wei Mingshen and Shao Jiang each took one and roasted it over the charcoal fire.
Su Xueli and Yan Yan were responsible for sprinkling salt and seasonings on the rabbit, naturally working in pairs.
Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen, a young couple, are in one group, while Yan Yan and Shao Jiang are in another.
Su Xueli deliberately sat close to Wei Mingshen, keeping a distance from the other two, and chatted with Wei Mingshen about everyday things, preventing Yan Yan and Shao Jiang from getting a word in edgewise.
Shao Jiang was very clever; he couldn't let the girl next to him be neglected, so he struck up a conversation with Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, did you come to my bathhouse before the New Year? My bathhouse is newly opened, and there are still people in our town who don't know about it."
Yan Yan smiled and said, "You're here. You're such a big boss, you have so many people to entertain every day, you didn't notice me."
Shao Jiang said in a serious tone, "No, no, no, I would definitely notice if you came."
Yan Yan truthfully said, "The day I came to take a bath, it really wasn't you who sold me the ticket. You weren't there then; a woman sold the ticket for you."
