Ye Changsheng: "Then this Boss Liu is quite down-to-earth."

Ye Changning: "Don't think he's just chatting and laughing with us, this Brother Liu is a ruthless person."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "My eldest brother used to work in the mines. Third brother, why do you say that my eldest brother doesn't want to leave with Boss Liu?"

Ye Changning: "Brother, mining was so dangerous before. Our family doesn't need a money-maker like you. Besides, Boss Liu's mines are all in other places, so brother will definitely not want to leave home.

I found a job for my eldest brother just to make it easier for my children to go to school.”

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. Third brother was very thoughtful.

"Then we have nothing else to do, so we can go back?"

Ye Changning: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's play for a while."

Ye Changsheng looked at the opposite side in confusion. Every New Year's Day, he would see people gathering together to play cards in the town. Some people played big and it turned into gambling.

I don't think San Ge wants to go gambling.

That won’t work.

Ye Changsheng pulled Ye Xiaoxiao aside and whispered something to her.

Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Third brother, are you planning to go out and play secretly, and then use me and my brother as shields?"

Ye Changning: "I don't have any."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “You have it.”

Ye Changning smiled slightly: "I just made an appointment with my friends to go out and play."

Ye Changsheng: "With your friends?"

Ye Changning: “…”

What should I do if my younger brother or sister is too sharp?

Because Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Changning were watching closely, Ye Changning did not go to play with that group of friends.

In fact, they were just a few classmates who used to play cards together at home. However, he did not bring Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Changsheng with him, so he did not go himself.

These two little burdens are so hard to fool.

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Why don't we go visit Comrade Zhen Wanlin at his home?"

Ye Changning: "Why go to his house?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "See if he is telling the truth about what kind of person his mother is at home."

Originally, Miao Cuifang and the others were also planning to examine the character of the future mother-in-law when the two families met.

But Ye Xiaoxiao felt that although this sudden visit was impolite, it was a good way to get to the bottom of the situation.

Ye Changning thought: "Then I still need to buy something."

There's no point in coming empty-handed.

Ye Xiaoxiao pushed Ye Changning and said, "Let's go, Third Brother. Can't I pay for it? I have money."

Ye Changning: "Yes, you are a little rich woman."

Ye Changning was just joking with Ye Xiaoxiao, and he also knew that his sister did have her own little piggy bank, otherwise he would never let her spend money.

Ye Xiaoxiao took out the money and bought a gift.

But there wasn’t much, just a bag of brown sugar, a bag of peach cakes, and a pot of oil.

They are all practical things, and it looks like the younger generation visiting the older generation, and it doesn't seem to have any other purpose.

The things have been bought, but I still don’t know where Zhen Wanlin lives.

Ye Changning walked ahead with great fanfare, "He is a postman. Let's go to the post office and ask around."

The three of them arrived at the post office, and the people inside told them that they were asking about Zhen Wanlin's home, so they showed them the way.

Ye Changning was lying in front of the post office counter chatting with someone: "Excuse me, comrade, how did Zhen Wanlin get along with everyone when he was here?"

"Comrade Zhen Wanlin has a very good temper, is willing to help others, and works seriously."

The female comrades in the post office have a relatively high opinion of Zhen Wanlin.

After finding out the news, Ye Changning left the post office with his younger brother and sister.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Zhen Wanlin is a good person."

She heard everything that was said just now.

Ye Changning seemed to be thinking about something, "He is just an honest man. Even though he is so good, no one is willing to marry him. It can only be said that those people just like to ask him for help, but they don't want to marry him."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

The third brother's ideas are quite trendy.

No matter whether you are an honest person or a good person, you just need to be responsible to your family.

The three of them followed the directions given by others and came to Zhen Wanlin's house. There were not so many houses in the town, so they found it quickly.

The two wooden doors were closed and Ye Changning was holding something in his hands.

Ye Changsheng went to knock on the door.

“I am here.”

A woman's voice came from inside.

The door creaked open and a woman with her hair tied up came in.

She is definitely older than Miao Cuifang and Li Guilan, but she doesn't look old and looks very energetic.

"Who are you?"

Zhen's mother looked puzzled, because they didn't have such good-looking relatives.

"Auntie, we are from the Ye family of Baishi Village. Brother Zhen came to our house to meet my eldest sister. We happened to be in town today, so we thought we would come to visit. Is it okay to disturb you?"

Ye Changning explained seriously.

Zhen's mother suddenly realized, "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. I'm doing some work at home and have nothing to do. Children, come in and talk to me."

Ye Changning went in with his younger brother and sister.

There is a room in the upper house of the yard, which is enough for mother and son.

The yard was clean, with a row of neatly piled firewood against the wall and many tool storage rooms.

There are a few chickens and ducks in the yard. They are let out to walk around for a while during the day and locked up in the shed at night.

There aren't many things in the house, but they are all arranged very reasonably.

"Are you guys coming to town to play? Where are you staying tonight? Baishi Village is far away, so don't walk around at night."

Zhen's mother poured hot water for the children and asked about the news.

Ye Changning: "We will stay at grandma's house tonight and go back early tomorrow."

Zhen's mother stood up and said, "Let's have a meal at home for a while. I'll go prepare the dishes."

How can I have the nerve to eat at someone else's house in this cold winter?

Ye Changning stopped her and said, "Auntie, we have something else to do later, so we won't stay here any longer. We'll come to our house for dinner next time we have a chance."

Ye Changsheng also nodded, "Yes, we have something to do."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Is Brother Zhen not at home?"

Zhen's mother had no choice but to sit down and say, "Wan Lin has gone to deliver letters to several villages around. It will probably take a few more hours for him to come back."

Ye Xiaoxiao and the others said they would not eat here, so Zhen's mother just chatted with them.

"I didn't expect you kids to be so thoughtful and come to town to see me. Wan Lin and your sister went on a blind date last time, and it went well. Wan Lin came back and told me that Ye Lian is a good kid."

Zhen's mother knew that she had two children, but she was not there.

Her son is already in his thirties, and finding a compatible wife to live with is better than anything else.

Ye Changning did not dare to tell Zhen's mother anything, and only said, "My uncle and the others have also discussed it. The specific matters will be discussed when the two families have dinner. We young people dare not say anything."

Zhen's mother also said readily: "We should have a meal. When Zhen Wanlin takes a rest, we can sit down together and talk."

After staying at the Zhen family for a while, Ye Changning left early.

Zhen's mother saw them off to the door, and she was still sighing when she returned to the house, saying that the children of the Ye family were all well-behaved, and were good at speaking at a young age, not as timid as the children in the village.
