"Mom, please sit back first."

Lu Chaoli pointed at Lu's mother's small stool and motioned for her to sit back first.

This was the first time in all these years that Mother Lu heard Lu Chaoli say that he had someone he liked. In the past, he had always tried to fool her.

Mother Lu believed it without a doubt. She sat back on the small stool and looked at Lu Chaoli excitedly.

"Chao Li, really? Whose daughter is she? Tell mother quickly!"

Even Mr. Lu, who never got involved in such matters, put down his chopsticks, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Lu Chaoli's eyes were evasive: "Mom, don't ask me yet. I will tell you when the time is right!"

"Chao Li, son, what's the matter that you can't tell me now? Just tell me who that girl is secretly. Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Mother Lu immediately brought a small stool to Lu Chaoli's side and looked at him expectantly.

But Lu Chaoli's attitude was very firm. He refused to tell Lu's mother anything before the outcome was even decided.

"Chao Li, just tell your mother. Silly boy, why are you still shy in front of your mother? Don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone else before the matter is completed. Even if the girl doesn't like you, we won't be embarrassed!"

In order to get the girl's identity out of Lu Chaoli, Lu's mother said all kinds of good and bad things.

Lu Chaoli raised his head and drank the last mouthful of soup, then quickly stood up and walked out of the yard: "Dad and Mom, I'm full, I'll go to Huzi's house to help!"

"Hey, Chaoli, Chaoli, don't be in such a hurry to leave! You haven't told me whose daughter you are yet!"

Lu's mother called out from behind, but Lu Chaoli walked out the door without even looking back.

"Tell me about this kid, why are you hiding this from me?"

Mother Lu sat back on the small stool, mumbling something but with a big smile on her face.

She turned her head to look at Father Lu and said excitedly, "Dad, do you think Chao Li really has a girl he likes?"

Without waiting for Father Lu to answer, Mother Lu smiled to herself and said, "I think it's true! He used to get angry whenever I mentioned this, but I didn't expect him to admit it today! Oh, thank God, is it finally my turn to be the happy mother-in-law?"

"Chao Li is such a jerk. He actually kept this good thing from us. How can I give him advice if he doesn't tell me?"

"Oh no! Chaoli is such a careless brat that he can't even take care of himself, so how can he care about others? Will the girl dislike him?"

Mother Lu, who had been quite excited, suddenly became worried. She put the chopsticks back on the bowl and lost all mood to eat.

Father Lu, who was eating at the side, shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, eat your meal! You keep complaining about this all day long, no wonder your son doesn't want to listen!"

Mother Lu glanced at him with a sharp look, and Father Lu quickly changed his words and said, "What I mean is that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just let him go. You keep urging him all day long. Will Chaoli listen to you?"

Mother Lu quietly put away the 40-meter-long sword she had drawn, and muttered quietly, "I've seen all the guys Chaoli played with get married. Chaoli isn't very active in relationships, so what's he going to do if he remains single for the rest of his life?"

Lu Chaoli is the only child in the Lu family, and he has no brothers or sisters to support him. Lu's mother is afraid that Lu Chaoli will end up being a bachelor and be alone for the rest of his life.

"Even if he is single, it is his own choice. You know how stubborn Chao Li is. He doesn't care about this matter. It's useless even if you keep chasing him."

Father Lu poured a bowl of soup for Mother Lu and advised, "Chao Li has always been a man with plans. Let's not interfere in his affairs and not put too much pressure on him."

Mother Lu sighed and rarely stopped arguing with Father Lu.

As a couple who have been together for more than 20 years, Father Lu naturally understood the worries in Mother Lu's heart. He patted Mother Lu on the back and comforted her.

"Okay, fate can't be stopped. Since Chao Li said he has a girl he likes, do you think he will just sit there and wait for death?"

She knows her son well. He is not the timid type. If he finds a girl he likes, he will definitely take the initiative to pursue her!

Father Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it. This matter will have a result sooner or later. Just wait."

"His father is right! Well, when you are with Chaoli, don't teach him about raising pigs every day. Teach him some other experiences."

Mother Lu said that was enough and then quickly lowered her head to eat.

After understanding her hint, Father Lu smiled and added some dishes to Mother Lu's bowl. Without Lu Chaoli's interference, the atmosphere between the old couple instantly became harmonious.

Lu Chaoli came to Hu Zi's house whistling.

Nowadays, marriage can be finalized quickly after the engagement. Hu Zi had just made eye contact with the girl in the morning and had already started preparing for their marriage in the afternoon.

When Lu Chaoli arrived at Hu Zi's house, Hu Zi was cleaning up branches in the yard with several other brothers.

A familiar whistle sounded behind them, and everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw Lu Chaoli walking out the door with his hands in his pockets.

"Boss, you're back!"

Hu Zi threw away the branch in his hand and walked towards Lu Chaoli.

Lu Chaoli raised his eyebrows and patted Hu Zi on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Good boy, do great things quietly!"

"That's right. I was still asleep when Hu Zi came to my house just now. I was shocked when I heard the news!"

Several other brothers who played with Lu Chaoli also came over with a smile and followed suit.

"Huzi, why did Auntie suddenly ask Matchmaker Wang to come to your house to propose marriage to you?"

The brothers looked at Hu Zi with gossipy eyes. Hu Zi scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually...actually I noticed Sister Fang a long time ago, but I just didn't have the courage to tell my mother. Yesterday I heard that Matchmaker Wang was planning to arrange a marriage for Sister Fang, so I asked my mother to go to Matchmaker Wang's house and tell her about it."

Hu Zi blushed and was about to skip the matter, but there happened to be a group of brothers who were talkative.

"Yo yo yo, sister Fang~"

"So Hu Zi couldn't sit still after hearing that Matchmaker Wang was going to arrange a marriage for Sister Fang?"

The brothers looked at Hu Zi with a smile on their faces.

"Go away, stop calling me like that! From now on, just call me sister-in-law!"

After saying that, Hu Zi ran away with a red face, and continued to pick up the branches in the yard, pretending to be very busy.

"Look, look, he's blushing!"

"After all, I'm a married man now, and my face has become thinner!"

"Now, among our brothers, even the youngest, Hu Zi, has found a wife, the only one left is the eldest brother!"

As they spoke, several people looked at Lu Chaoli standing aside.

"Boss, when are you going to... No, Boss, why are you so silly?"
