"I'm glad you know! Next time you come, bring that girl with you!"
"OK!"
Xia Yulan talked to Old Lady Xu about family matters for a while. She did not mention that Li Yuanshan was going to the army. It would not be too late to talk about it after the matter was completely confirmed and settled. It was not appropriate to make it public now.
Old Mrs. Xu pulled Li Yuanbing over again and took out some snacks from the cupboard.
Although the snack had been broken into pieces, he still ate it with relish.
Li Yuanshan: So no one noticed me being such a big person here. Is my presence so low?
Grandma, why is it that we are both your eldest grandson, but you give snacks to Bingzi while I can’t even get the crumbs of the snacks?
Old Man Xia: My eldest grandson, your grandfather is here to keep you company. I, your grandfather, am such a grown-up, but I have become a background wall and no one pays any attention to me.
Old Mrs. Xu: You have grown up and Bingzi is still young. Don’t be jealous of your own brother.
As the mother and daughter were talking, they talked about the marriage of Brother Xia's son, Junzi.
It turned out that during this period, Xiao Hehua arranged a marriage for Junzi.
But Old Mrs. Xu looked down on her granddaughter-in-law a thousand times, but she had no one to complain to. She couldn't go out and tell outsiders that her granddaughter-in-law was not good in this way or that way, after all, family disgrace should not be made public, right?
"That Wang Daya, I don't like her no matter how I look at her, but your sister-in-law insists on saying that Wang Daya is good, and I don't feel happy about it either!"
Xia Yulan was a little puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you wait and see? Why make such a hasty decision?"
"Hey, it's your sister-in-law. I heard from her family, I don't know who is instigating it, that they consulted an expert and found that Wang Daya's horoscope is particularly good for our Junzi.
You know your sister-in-law is especially obedient to her mother. Even her mother's farts smell good. And your sister-in-law is not a good person either."
When Old Mrs. Xu thought of this, her heart began to ache again.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yulan exchanged a glance with Li Yuanshan, and both of them thought to themselves, I wonder which expert has the experience to tell fortunes for their own daughter/sister.
Li Yuanshan: Oh my god, you finally see your grown-up son.
The mother and daughter chatted with each other, and soon it was noon.
Xia Zhiyuan, Xia Jun and Xia Dong also came back from work. Although it was not the busy farming season at this time, everyone could not go to work if they wanted to, and some people who wanted to go could also go.
The Xia family did not live a well-off life. They had many men and much to eat, so they would go to work whenever they could. They could earn more work points and get more food.
As soon as Xia Dong came back, he pulled Li Yuanshan aside to talk. The two were of similar age and had been good friends since childhood.
As soon as Xia Zhiyuan entered the door, he asked why Li Shuhua didn't come. He liked his brother-in-law very much.
Xia Yulan repeated what she had said to Old Mrs. Xu.
Soon the meal was served and the family sat at the table to eat.
At the dinner table, Old Man Xia kept picking up food for Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing.
Xiao Hehua only fried a leek and egg dish, but Old Man Xia took several chopsticks to give to his two grandsons. This made Xiao Hehua very sad, and she cursed her father-in-law for being partial.
She felt that her father-in-law was stupid because he ignored his own eldest grandson and cared more for his grandson from another family.
After dinner, Xia Yulan saw her elder brother and sister-in-law go into the house, so she called her eldest nephew to her mother's room.
There was no way. As an aunt, I was still very concerned about my nephew's marriage.
Xiao Hehua gave birth to Xia Jun before Xia Yulan got married. Xia Yulan helped take care of the child at that time. She did not get married until Junzi was over one year old, so she has a deep relationship with her nephew.
Xia Jun was not as good at studying as Xia Dong, and his brain was not as flexible as Xia Dong's. He was not good at studying, so he only went to elementary school and helped with housework.
But Xia Jun is a down-to-earth and hardworking person, not cunning. He is tall and has a square face, which is the type that most women of this era like.
Xia Jun came to Old Lady Xu's room, and before Xia Yulan could ask anything, Xia Jun spoke himself.
As soon as her nephew said this, Xia Yulan was shocked.
"Aunt, can I ask you for a favor? Can you help me cancel my marriage with Wang Daya?"
"What did you say, Junzi?"
Xia Yulan only listened to a few words from her mother before she thought of calling her nephew over to ask him whether he was willing to get married. However, she didn't expect that her nephew would drop a big bomb on her as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Yuanbing, who was playing by himself, was shocked, not to mention Old Mrs. Xu. When she heard what her eldest grandson said, she stopped lying down and stood up.
Xia Yulan immediately supported Old Mrs. Xu, fearing that she would faint from being too excited.
The key point is that the eldest grandson’s words were too stimulating, and Mrs. Xu could hardly accept it.
"Junzi, you are a grown man now, but you have to be responsible for your words and actions. You have only been engaged to Wang Daya for less than a month. If you rashly cancel the engagement now, have you ever thought about what will happen next?"
Xia Jun is an honest and introverted person. When he heard his aunt say this, he didn't know what to say and was a little speechless.
He lowered his head and thought over and over again about what his aunt had said.
When Xia Yulan saw her nephew like this, she didn't disturb him and let him think for himself.
Old Mrs. Xu wanted to speak many times, but was stopped by Xia Yulan.
Seeing her nephew like this, Xia Yulan felt a little distressed and said, "Junzi, if you have any thoughts or problems in your mind, you must tell your aunt clearly so that I can know how to help you!"
Xia Jun thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to speak out what was on his mind.
"Aunt, if I say that the person I went on a blind date with wasn't Wang Daya, would you believe me?"
Xia Jun asked while looking at Xia Yulan with anticipation.
Then he shook his head in self-mockery and continued, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. After all, I told my mother about this on the day we got engaged, but she just didn't believe me and said I remembered it wrongly!
My mother said that, and seeing so many relatives present, I kept it to myself. These past few days, when I had some free time, I went wandering around Wulong Village. I wanted to find Wang Daya, the woman I had a blind date with, but I wandered around for so many days and couldn't find her!
As Xia Jun spoke, he lowered his head again.
When Old Lady Xu heard her grandson's words, she immediately became anxious: "Junzi, you can't talk nonsense. This Wang Daya is not that Wang Daya. Then who is this Wang Daya?"
Xia Jun said: "I don't know which one is Wang Daya now. I only know that the Wang Daya who went on a blind date with me was not the Wang Daya who was engaged to me.
The girl was thin, tall, with a fair complexion and two dimples when she smiled.
When Xia Jun talked about the girl he had a blind date with, he couldn't help but blush.
