It was past five o'clock when I got home, just as Zhou Cailian returned with water.
Zhou Jiadong was sweeping the chicken coop in the backyard. The chickens had all grown up, and there was a lot of chicken droppings every day. If he didn't sweep it clean, the backyard would smell like chicken droppings.
Zhou Caixiang was doing her homework in the room when she heard Yu Qiuying and Zhou Jiahong return, so she quickly got up and went out.
"Mom, you're back." Zhou Caixiang smiled ingratiatingly at Yu Qiuying.
Yu Qiuying nodded and pushed her bicycle into the main room.
Zhou Caixiang didn't go back to her room. She waited for Yu Qiuying to come out of the room and go into the kitchen to cook dinner, and then she followed her in to help with the fire.
During dinner, Zhou Cailian remembered that Ma Yanhong had come to propose marriage to Zhou Jiadong that morning, so she told Yu Qiuying about it.
After hearing this, Yu Qiuying glanced at Zhou Jiadong but said nothing.
This made Zhou Jiadong very uneasy, and he hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Mom, I'm not still thinking about Xiao... Zhong Xiaolan, I just don't want to be in a relationship for the time being."
"You don't need to explain to me. I've already said I won't interfere in your affairs anymore. Whether you want to be in a relationship or not is your business, and you don't need to tell me anymore," Yu Qiuying said without any emotion.
Zhou Jiadong looked at Yu Qiuying cautiously, "Mom, I'll listen to you from now on..."
"No need, you can decide your own affairs. Okay, let's eat." Yu Qiuying didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Zhou Jiadong hesitated for a moment, then ultimately didn't dare say anything more.
The family had just finished dinner when Ma Yanhong came over again.
"Qiuying, have you eaten yet?"
"I've just eaten, come in and sit down." Yu Qiuying guessed why she had come and hurriedly invited her into the main room.
Then he went back to his room and brought out some melon seeds and rice cakes to treat her. "You're still here to introduce Jia Dong to someone, aren't you?"
"Yes, I came over this morning and you weren't home, so I spoke directly to Jiadong. But Jiadong said he didn't want to date. Qiuying, let me tell you, the girl I introduced him to is my sister-in-law's niece. She's the same age as Jiadong, and she's very pretty. Most importantly, she's hardworking and capable..."
Ma Yanhong went on and on, saying a lot of nice things.
