Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Ye Tan twisted her braid between her fingers...
Ye Tan twisted the braid between his fingers and said slowly, "Brother, you think too much. I don't think Gu Zhao is that kind of person."
Ye Tan believed that he was quite good at judging people. Although he had only met Gu Zhao a few times, he was sure that he was not the kind of person who would deliberately keep girls hanging, not to mention that he was quite innocent and cute when it came to feelings.
Thinking of the man's blushing face, Ye Tan couldn't help laughing.
Seeing his younger sister's charming smile, Ye Yanlin slapped his thigh in anger, "You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance. Little sister, don't be fooled by his appearance. Li Congjun is a lesson for us."
Xu Huiling turned around and patted her son, "Stop talking nonsense."
Ye Jianguo: "Don't speak one-sidedly. Did you see him hooking up with another girl?"
Ye Yanlin kept silent.
Ye Jianguo glared at him, then turned to his wife and daughter and said, "From what we know now, he seems to be a good person. If you want to get to know him better, you'll have to look around a lot."
Ye Yanlin complained in a low voice again: "That little sister is really at a disadvantage." He is not ashamed of being an old cow eating young grass.
Ye Jianguo: "What's the big deal? As long as the partner is suitable, it's fine. Besides, their conditions are better than ours."
"But he's older, nine years older than me! He's too old."
If you think carefully, they might even be of a different generation than their brothers and sisters.
Xu Huiling glared at him in reproach: "Then go find a younger and better-looking man for your little sister."
Ye Yanlin was speechless for a long time after being scolded by his mother.
Is it that he doesn't want to find one? The key is that the people around him are not as good as him, so how can they be worthy of his beautiful little sister?
Seeing her son was silent, Xu Huiling continued, "Then take a look at Gu Zhao. Besides his age, are his other qualities good?"
Ye Yanlin curled his lips, thinking of the person he had secretly seen today. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he couldn't say it against his conscience. "He looks okay, he's quite tall, but he attracts a lot of attention..."
Ye Jianguo interrupted him: "I told you not to make conclusions based on your own one-sided statements. Or have you found out clearly that he really did provoke the female lesbian?"
Ye Yanlin muttered, "That's not the case."
Ye Jianguo slapped him on the head and said angrily, "What were you talking about just now? You even said that he was deliberately flirting with lesbians. How can you say such things casually?"
Ye Yanlin covered his head and moved away at arm's length, yelling, "Just because others don't say it doesn't mean it's not happening in private. Maybe they're just trying to save face for him. I think we should take a closer look."
"Look more? Don't you see how urgent it is to go to the countryside? How can you have time to look more?"
Xu Huiling couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and chased her son away, scolding him with a smile, "Get lost! You're just looking for trouble after eating your fill. If you have the time, can you please marry me a daughter-in-law?"
Ye Yanlin jumped up and ran out of the yard, waving and winking at Ye Tan: "Just wait for me, I'll go find out everything for you. If he really hooks up with that little girl, I'll make him pay!"
Ye Jianguo looked at his suddenly jumping son in the living room and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You little bastard, get out of here!"
Ye Yanlin rolled out the door, and Xu Huiling chased him a few steps to the door: "Don't stay out too late."
Ye Yanlin replied and disappeared at the entrance of the alley in a blink of an eye.
Ye Tan held his chin and looked at the lively family with a smile. This kind of simple and happy life together as a family is really nostalgic.
It would be great if she could stay at home and not get married all her life, but unfortunately the times did not allow her to be rebellious.
"Mom and Dad, what do you think? Do you want this partner or not?"
Xu Huiling tapped her daughter's forehead and said, "What do you want or not? Just spend a few days together and see how it goes."
Ye Jianguo thought so too, "It won't hurt to learn more."
Xu Huiling thought of the call to go to the countryside and immediately said, "We can't delay it too long. If it's suitable, we should decide quickly. If not, we still have time to look for the next one."
Ye Tan understood it slowly but urgently.
The next day, Ye Tan had lunch and rested for a while before getting up, packing himself up and going out with a cloth bag.
The cinema was on the other side of the supply and marketing cooperative. Ye Tan walked out of the alley under the shade of the trees and put on the straw hat he was holding. It could block out the sun and light from his vision, so it had multiple uses. The only drawback was that it was a bit ugly, but he couldn't afford to be so particular about it at the moment. Practicality was more important.
Wearing a straw hat, Ye Tan ran through several streets. This time, in order to avoid the sun, he did not take the shortcut he had taken before, but took another one along the river.
The cool river breeze blew on my body, and the heat was immediately relieved.
Ye Tan slowed down his pace unconsciously. Anyway, the movie would start at three o'clock in the afternoon, so there was no rush.
Ye Tan walked slowly, occasionally picking a wild flower to play with when he saw it on the roadside.
I walked to a big tree in a windy place and was just about to enjoy the breeze when I stopped when I heard familiar voices coming from the steps leading down to the river behind a few trees.
"What on earth do you want to do? I've already given you the money!" His voice was deliberately suppressed with anger.
Then a female voice followed, first with a "Pah" sound, then a curse: "Li, you are so heartless. I have been following you for several years without any status, and now I am injured. Do you think you can get rid of me with a few filthy coins? You have ruined the rest of my life, you must be responsible!"
Ye Tan couldn't see the person, but he knew from the voice that the woman was a young girl. So was she Li Congjun's other lover?
Before, there was the widow, the female colleague, and now there is another young girl. Li Congjun is quite good at seducing people.
You're trying to juggle so many things, and you never know when one will capsize.
After listening to a few words, Ye Tan lost interest. Anyway, she had already escaped, and this had nothing to do with her.
Ye Tan calmly raised his leg and continued walking, leaving the two people who were entangled behind him.
Turning a corner ahead is the street of the supply and marketing cooperative. There are more people nearby, including old men and women buying vegetables, children chattering like little sparrows, and young men and women with red faces going to the movies.
There are clear barriers on both sides, and a row of bicycles in the middle.
Ye Tan walked over and took a look. There were quite a few people with cars nearby. They were all wealthy people of this era.
The three workers in their family were reluctant to buy one, mainly because bicycle tickets were difficult to get.
"Ye Tan?"
A "ding-ling-ling" sound came from the side and behind, followed by the sound of a bicycle brake. Just then a gust of wind blew over, and Ye Tan reached out to hold the brim of his hat that was almost blown away. When he looked up again, he saw an unwelcome person standing next to him.
Ye Tan turned his gaze away in disgust.
Li Cong seemed very surprised, but upon closer inspection, he saw a hint of self-satisfaction in his expression. "Why, are you waiting for me here?"
Ye Tan, who was about to continue walking, stopped and glanced at him with an indifferent and emotionless look, as if he was looking at a weed on the side of the road.
It was obvious that she was too lazy to talk to him, but she also bluntly expressed her disregard for who he was.
Li Congjun...
He seemed to be hurt by Ye Tan's attitude. His expression flickered, and his composure was gone. He was overwhelmed by shame and anger, which made him feel even more humiliated than the day when he was broken off the engagement and kicked out.
"Ye Tan!"
