Chen Xin’s eldest sister is Chen Xianghong, and she has been married for a long time.
However, after marriage, I would go back to Chen's house from time to time.
In addition, Chen Xin's parents would always ask Chen Xianghong for advice whenever they encountered any problem.
As time went by, the married daughter became the head of the Chen family. However, no one in the Chen family found it strange, as if it was a customary thing to let Chen Xianghong be the head of the family.
When Chen Xin returned home, dinner was already prepared.
On the dining table, there were freshly cooked shredded radish, a bowl of cabbage stalks stewed with carrots, and a large pot of mixed porridge.
Then there were a few dry steamed buns that were harder than stone.
There wasn't a trace of oil in the food, which was much worse than the food in the canteen of a state-owned factory.
Chen Xianghong poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled, "Fourth brother, you're back. Hurry and wash your hands and eat."
Chen Xianghong was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, which was a little small and tightly wrapped around her flesh, especially her stomach and chest, as if it would burst at any time.
She had a woolen scarf around her neck.
Because the neck is short, after wearing the scarf, it looks like there is no neck, as if the whole person is only left with the head and body, just like a round snowball.
Chen Xin didn't think there was anything wrong with dressing like this. Instead, he listened to his elder sister and went to wash his hands obediently.
The eldest sister of the Chen family also went into the room and called her brothers and sisters.
Apart from my second sister who got married and never came back, there are still many people in the Chen family who are still eating.
Chen Xin’s third brother has never been married. He is almost thirty years old, but he can’t find a good partner. He either thinks others are not good enough in one way or another.
As he was past the best age for marriage, the women introduced to him by matchmakers were either widowed or from the countryside. Chen Xinsan's third brother felt that the matchmaker was teasing him and beat her up. His parents not only had to pay the gift but also the medical expenses.
From then on, no matchmaker was willing to arrange marriage, so Chen Xinsan's brother simply lived at home, taking each day as it came.
Sister Chen raised her voice, and soon everyone came out of the house.
Sister Chen didn't say anything, and the group of people gathered together to eat.
The food was divided up and started with eldest sister Chen. She and Chen's parents got the most, followed by the oldest third son of the Chen family, then Chen Xin's three younger siblings, and finally Chen Xin.
When it was his turn, there was only a little clear porridge left in the bowl, and the steamed bun was the smallest.
Chen Xin was concentrating on eating when Sister Chen spoke.
"Fourth brother, when will your date come to our house again? I'm telling you, that girl looks pretty good. She's good-looking, well-dressed, and generous..."
Chen Xin nodded in agreement, "Chunrong is a good person, and she likes big sister very much."
Sister Chen's eyes narrowed into a straight line in an instant. Her eyes, which were already small to begin with, were rounded to the point of disappearing.
She continued, "Fourth brother, you can date this person for now. We won't suffer any loss anyway! But when it comes to getting married, don't rush. Mom and I haven't decided yet!"
Chen Xin's mother nodded quickly, "Your eldest sister is right. Dating is dating, and marriage is marriage. They can't be confused."
Chen Xin's face turned pale in an instant, and the porridge in front of him seemed to have lost its taste all of a sudden.
At this time, Sister Chen said again: "Have you asked her what her family conditions are? She must be from the countryside, right? Let me tell you, my good sister's workplace has a girl from the countryside pretending to be from the city."
