The Song family has been quite busy lately.
Song Zhicheng's eldest son, Song Qiumin, has found a girlfriend and they are planning to get married in August.
Grandpa and Grandma Song go out every few days.
The woman is from the city and works as a kindergarten teacher. Her father owns a stationery store, and her mother is a nurse at a hospital. She and Song Qiumin fell in love on their own and dated for two months before meeting each other's parents.
The third and fifth brothers learned about this from Xu Songyuan.
Song Jianmin is busy preparing for the college entrance examination in July, and he studies every day after get off work.
Today is Saturday, and the third and fifth brothers are off work. Xu Songyuan didn't go to the shop this morning, but he brought up Song Qiumin's wedding while eating breakfast.
"Hey, third brother, you're already twenty-five and still no girlfriend? You're a decent-looking young man, why aren't you dating anyone?" Xu Songyuan shook his head and clicked his tongue.
Song Anmin frowned. "Uncle, I don't have that plan right now."
Xu Songyuan glared at him. "What do you mean you have no plans? You're still young. Once you're over twenty-eight, no girl will be interested in you. Take advantage of your current relaxed work schedule and free time, or you'll waste your precious youth!"
Song Jianmin nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's right."
Song Anmin looked at Song Jianmin, speechless. "You still have the nerve to urge me? Have you forgotten about you and Zhang Qingli?"
"Third brother, speak properly. Zhang Qingli's story is from hundreds of years ago."
"Third brother, let's not get sidetracked," Xu Songyuan brought the topic back.
Song Jianmin: "Third brother, I think Chen Zhou is pretty good. He's even taking the college entrance exam."
Song Jianmin now views anyone who is going to university and has good grades through a biased lens.
For example, Song Rongrong, Song Yingying, and Chen Zhou.
"Besides, Chen Zhou has treated us to meals a few times, but I don't believe it was just to treat me."
Song Anmin frowned. "He's still taking the college entrance exam. These things are all too far off. He's not even twenty yet. I'm not a beast."
Xu Songyuan nodded, "Indeed, the age gap is too big. After Chen Zhou enters university, there will be so many male classmates, he may not be interested in Lao San. Forget it, Lao San, why don't you also go to university and improve yourself?"
Song Anmin: "…………"
Song Jianmin laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
That evening, there was some beef and pork left in the shop. After returning from the shop, Xu Songyuan went to the Song family to deliver the meat.
It was Xu Guiying who opened the door.
"Sister, take this meat."
Xu Guiying didn't stand on ceremony with him, "Is the shop busy today?"
Xu Songyuan: "Busy, busy every day."
"We haven't hired anyone yet."
Xu Songyuan's fried rice is delicious, and customers come in droves at noon and in the evening. Xu Songyuan himself is too busy to keep up. He hired a helper before, but she had to leave after two days because of a family emergency.
Xu Songyuan has not been able to find a suitable one.
Xu Songyuan shook his head and then talked about Xu Xue.
"Big sister, I heard from Captain Mo the other day that there is still no news about Xu Xue and her mother. I can't rest easy until they catch them."
Xu Songyuan had previously gone to the police station to inquire about the situation.
It's highly likely that Xu Xue and her mother escaped separately.
Police conducted interviews and investigations near Xu Xue's home. An elderly woman first saw someone with a similar build leave, and then saw Sun Xiumin leave.
There was a 20-minute gap between Sun Xiumin leaving and the police searching Xu's house.
Twenty minutes was enough for Sun Xiumin to escape.
Xu Guiying told Xu Songyuan not to worry, "As long as he's alive, he'll show up."
Xu Songyuan sighed and then talked about the third brother.
Xu Guiying: "You go about your business and don't worry about Lao San. He has to take care of his own affairs. You can't expect anyone to introduce him to a potential partner."
Seeing that his elder sister didn't want to talk about it anymore, Xu Songyuan said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Go back and rest quickly."
Xu Guiying went inside and prepared to go to sleep.
Before turning off the lights, Song Xinfu suddenly said something.
"Old woman, I lent out some money today."
Xu Guiying opened her eyes.
"How much? Who? When will it be returned?"
Song Xinfu coughed lightly: "It's not much, just ten yuan. My apprentice's younger brother is about to go to high school, and he's a little short of money."
Xu Guiying had almost forgotten that Song Xinfu had an apprentice who would occasionally visit her home. He was a quiet and honest young man.
Xu Guiying hummed in agreement.
Song Xinfu: "Sigh, he's about the same age as Lao Wu, but their temperaments are worlds apart."
Xu Guiying turned over, too lazy to listen.
Song Xinfu spoke to himself.
"I grew up without parents and raised my younger brother on my own. And look at that bastard Song Jianmin. Forget it, I don't want to talk about it. I'll be too angry to sleep later."
Xu Guiying: "Song Xinfu, if you're not going to sleep, go sleep on the floor outside. I'll be busy tomorrow."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep," Song Xinfu said quickly, then remembered something and woke Xu Guiying up.
"Rongrong said she'll be back on June 12th."
Xu Guiying: "Yes! Go read the letter tomorrow morning."
It's been ten months since Rongrong left.
Having not seen his daughter for ten months, Song Xinfu missed her terribly.
-
Since having the idea of divorce, Xiong Jing has visited the prison two or three times and met with Zhuang Pinghua.
I don't know how she managed to persuade her.
In short, Zhuang Pinghua agreed to the divorce.
Xiong Jing started to gravitate towards Song Guomin, often bumping into him on his way home. Each time, she would use the excuse of looking for a job. Since Song Guomin lived in the city center, it was normal to run into him.
Xiong Jing hesitated several times before speaking, her face showing the helplessness that life had worn her down, and asked Song Guomin if his bank was still short of staff.
Song Guomin didn't see through Xiong Jing's other intentions; he only saw that Xiong Jing wanted to use him to climb the social ladder.
