This meant that Ye Zi should not be too polite with her eldest brother. He also noticed that Ye Zi was a little unfamiliar with her eldest brother and was afraid that Ye Zi would be too reserved in front of other family members.
"I see. I'm just a little embarrassed. It will get better slowly in the future."
Cen Zixiang knew about Ye Zi's slow-paced nature, so he just mentioned it and said nothing more: "Tell Fourth Brother, why do you want to buy so many materials?"
Ye Zi felt much more relaxed with Cen Zixiang. After all, they were not only related by blood, but also came from the same place. After talking it out, Ye Zi felt much closer to Cen Zixiang.
"Don't you find this house weird?"
Cen Zixiang looked up at the roof and said, "Is it because the house is too high and the exposed beams look uncomfortable?" He also felt that such a house looked empty and uncomfortable, so he was not very satisfied with it.
But the time is too short. There is another suitable house, but it is too far from Ye Zi's future workplace, making it inconvenient for commuting, and it doesn't feel as safe as here.
If you want to buy a house with all the necessary facilities, you will have to look for it slowly. This is the only way to deal with it for now.
"Well, you know the houses in our village are not very high. Seeing a house like this all of a sudden feels a bit strange. I thought of adding a second floor. That way, the house will have a ceiling and the space won't look so strange."
"Renovation of the house? Don't tell me, now that you mention it, I also feel that building a small second floor will make the house look much more comfortable, but can you do it alone? How about letting Feizi go back first, and I will live with you for a while and help you with it?"
He used to love watching videos on how to renovate old houses. It was quite relaxing and interesting. If he didn't have the skills, he would have wanted to try renovating an old house.
"Sure, you know I'm tired of being idle. I'll be idle all day after I get this job, so I'll just find something to do and make a living."
"Okay, but let's make a deal. If you like, do it, but don't tire yourself out. You're so young, you need to take good care of yourself to grow well."
"Ye Zi, have you grown taller again? Why do I feel like you've grown a lot taller recently?"
Everyone in the Cen family is tall. Even the two daughters-in-law who married into the family are not short. Cen Zixiang is over 185cm tall. The tallest person in the family is Ye Zi's father, Cen Boxu, who is 1.92 meters tall.
None of them had ever seen Ye Zi's biological mother, and their third uncle had never told them how tall she was. But judging from Ye Zi's head, Ye Zi's biological mother should not be short.
"It should have grown a little. Anyway, my cotton coat and trousers from last year are all broken," Ye Zi has been taller than her peers since she was a child. Even those most difficult years when she was hungry did not hinder her growth.
She has also gotten used to the fact that her clothes will become shorter when the seasons change, as she can just wear them again.
"I remember you measured your height during Chinese New Year last year, and it seemed to be 1.71 meters, right?" That was during Chinese New Year last year when everyone got together, and the conversation turned to height, so they went to the one-eyed grandfather to get a ruler to measure it.
"Oh, yes," she didn't have any problem with her height. It didn't matter if she was tall or short. At that time, most people were not tall, so it didn't matter if they were a little short.
"I see you are at least 1.75 meters tall now. Please stop growing. Why are you only growing taller and not sideways? You must eat less every meal."
The taller he is, the thinner he looks. Ye Zi is the kind of guy that girls in later generations envy, with a physique that can eat anything without gaining weight. This guy looks like a cow bean, wobbling as if his chassis is unstable.
Chen Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Is this something I can decide?"
She really likes the kind of sturdy body that looks healthy. The problem is that it’s useless for her to like it. She can’t grow up like that, no matter how hard she eats.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who says there's no short person in our family? Oh, and I have to add one more thing, there's no fat person in our family, but there's no one as thin as you either. If you were to live in the future with your body type, you'd be a model."
"Be careful not to let anyone hear this," this guy always spoke without restraint after revealing everything to her.
"No, I'm paying attention. I'm only speaking to you. Besides, I've lowered my voice so no one can hear me."
"Seriously, it's going to be hard for a girl like you, Ye Zi, to find a partner in the future. Where are you going to find a guy as tall as your uncle?"
People nowadays cannot get enough nutrition, which limits the growth of their height. They are not like the long-legged boys walking on the streets in later generations. It is really difficult to find a guy who is of the same height as your own sister.
How old is Ye Zi? She's only seventeen after the New Year. She's probably still going to grow, and she's going to have to work hard to reach 1.8 meters. There aren't many guys over 1.8 meters tall these days, and he's starting to worry about Ye Zi.
Chen Ye was too lazy to roll his eyes: "I'm not looking for a partner. It's so good for me to live alone. Besides, how old am I now? It's too early to talk about it. If you want to find someone, you should come first. You worry about yourself first."
Cen Zixiang chuckled, "It doesn't matter to me. I have three older brothers who can help me for many years. Look at our eldest brother, he's almost 30 years old and still single. I'll follow his example."
Chen Ye hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you think my grandparents will force me to go on blind dates in the future?"
"Probably not. You're different from us. You didn't grow up with your grandparents. Even if they're trying to make up for it, they'll still go along with you."
"Besides, Third Uncle is still single, how can he have the nerve to urge you to find a partner?"
"I was originally thinking of taking you back to the capital to visit your grandparents this year, but so many things have happened recently, so I may not be able to go back this year." Tsk tsk, he hasn't been back to the capital since he came here.
"Let's wait until next year. Next year I have my home leave. Ye Zi, will you come back with me to visit grandpa and grandma?"
Chen Ye paused while assembling the furniture: "Go ahead." There was obvious hesitation in his tone.
"I... am a little nervous." She could only say such useless words in front of Cen Zixiang.
If someone else asked her, she would probably just shake her head and refuse. It’s not that she doesn’t want to go, but she is afraid of seeing others looking down on her.
Cen Zixiang knew Ye Zi's life in her previous life, so he could understand her current state of mind: "You just think too much. Everyone in your family is very good. There is no such person who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak."
"Fourth brother will accompany you then. If someone really treats you badly, how about we never go back?" Cen Zixiang was quite confident in his family.
"Well, I'll... give it a try."
In fact, after all, Chen Ye still hopes to have a group of kind relatives. After all, the more people lack something, the more they want it.
