When Song Minglan said they wanted to go together, the two-person trip turned into a three-person trip.
Along the way, Song Minglan took the initiative to casually talk about her and Feng Xuejun's partner, saying that they were introduced by their leader. She didn't want to talk about her partner at first, but she didn't want to offend her leader, so she met Feng Xuejun.
After being together for some time, she found that their personalities were not compatible and there was not much affection between them. She felt that it was not a good match, so she took the initiative to reject him this time.
As Song Minglan spoke, she looked at her face carefully. Seeing that there was no expression on her face, she couldn't see through her thoughts and couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Shuying, for us women, finding a partner is a lifelong thing, it's not easy, don't you think?" She also said that she was particularly envious of her and Ye Shuning for being lucky enough to find a good partner, and it would be great if she could have the blessing of two people.
"Comrade Song, we're downstairs at Zhou's building!"
This relatively spacious, newly built building is a building for senior officials. It is relatively spacious and well ventilated.
Each household has an area of ten square meters, and the Zhou family lives on the third floor.
As they were about to reach Zhou's house, Song Minglan became more and more anxious. The reason why she was so anxious to reject Feng Xuejun was because Ye Shuning wanted to reunite her with Ye Cen Ning.
She used to think that Feng Xuejun had good qualifications, but how could he compare to Ye Cen Ning now?
Even since she learned about the identities of the Ye brothers and sisters, she regretted breaking up with Ye Cen Ning. Over the years, she has dated several people, but none of them treated her as well as Ye Cen Ning.
In the past, her mother disliked Ye Cen Ning because he had no background and had a younger sister who was just a poor soldier, so she did not agree to their marriage.
At that time, she told the Ye brothers and sisters that her stepfather did not agree and deliberately asked for a sky-high price for the bride price, which was actually her idea.
But she didn't expect that the biological father of the Ye brothers and sisters was Political Commissar Ye. Now that she knew it, she absolutely did not want to miss this opportunity again. What's more, she is older now, and it is almost impossible for her to find a better partner than Ye Cen Ning.
Before going upstairs, Song Minglan suddenly begged, "Shuying, can you please not tell Shu Ning about what happened just now?"
To be honest, if Song Minglan hadn't said so much, she really wouldn't have thought much about it. Now that she said so much, she really couldn't help but think too much.
Shuying gave her a meaningful look and said innocently, "Comrade Song, it's your own business if you broke up with your partner. What can I say to Sister Ye?"
Song Minglan had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yang Shuying continue, "It's just a pity. Sister Ye wanted to match you up with the eldest brother of the Ye family. I never thought that Comrade Song, you are such a dedicated female military doctor. For the sake of work, you don't even want to find a partner!"
Song Minglan: “?”
"Comrade Song, don't worry. If Sister Ye tries to match you up with the eldest brother of the Ye family, and you can't refuse, I will help you. I will definitely not hinder you from doing your job well in the future! All right, let's go upstairs!"
Shuying took the child upstairs first. Song Minglan, who was a little dumbfounded, hurriedly followed behind them. Her face turned red and she looked anxious to say something but couldn't utter a word. She could only watch Yang Shuying take the child into the Zhou family first.
Aunt Zhou and Ye Shuning were both at home. Aunt Zhou liked the Chen family of three very much. As soon as Shuying came with the child, she immediately went to the door to greet them. The two talked for a while, and then Aunt Zhou took the child to get food. Chen Yi raised his head and looked at his aunt eagerly, and followed after getting his aunt's consent.
Ye Shuning entertained the two of them.
Ye Shuning was also very happy to see Shuying and Song Minglan, and hurriedly asked them to sit down. Ye Shuning first said a few words to Shuying, and then asked how the two of them came to her place at the same time. Then, she said to Song Minglan, "Song Jie, my brother will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
If she wanted to bring people together, she had to ask the parties involved. Ye Shuning felt that Sister Song might still be interested in her brother. She had hinted at it several times before, and she had not refused even with a blushing face. Ye Shuning felt that there was a 100% chance of it happening.
Her eldest brother is already quite old, and there is a malicious stepmother at home who tries to interfere in her eldest brother's relationship from time to time. Isn't Ye Shuning a little anxious?
Song Minglan's cheeks turned red subconsciously, and she lowered her head shyly, not agreeing nor refusing, wanting to tacitly agree. Shuying suddenly said, "Sister Ye, Comrade Song just told me downstairs that he doesn't want to find a partner, he just wants to work hard!"
Ye Shuning hurriedly asked Song Minglan.
Song Minglan was simply feeling bitter but couldn't say anything. She was afraid that Yang Shuying would say more to Ye Shuning. She gritted her teeth and decided to take a long-term view. As long as Ye Cenning still had feelings for her, Yang Shuying would not be able to stop her from marrying into the Ye family.
Song Minglan always thought that Ye Cen Ning had never married another woman, so he must have her in his heart. Thinking of this, she was no longer anxious and temporarily rejected Ye Shuning, saying, "Shuning, Shuying is right. I just want to work hard for now!"
Something that had been set in stone just flew away like that, and Ye Shuning looked disappointed, but one can't force things in the relationship.
Ye Shuning didn't mention the dating matter again.
Song Minglan had to leave early because of something else.
Ye Shuning watched Song Minglan leave in disappointment, and complained to Shuying, "I thought Sister Song was still interested in my brother! It seems I was overthinking!"
She never thought that the other party would refuse to meet her brother.
Ye Shuning thought to herself that her eldest brother was no less capable than her husband, he was handsome, and had a good family. Apart from having a stepmother as a burden, his family conditions were very good.
As she spoke, Ye Shuning complained to Shu Ying that her stepmother wanted to interfere in her eldest brother's marriage.
Shuying felt that it would be bad for Ye Shuning to act too hastily. Now Political Commissar Ye no longer trusted stepmother Ye Jie as much as before, so he would never hand over the matter of his own son's partner to an unreliable stepmother.
After Shuying gave Ye Shuning some words of advice, he felt a little relieved.
Ye Shuning added, "My eldest brother has not found a partner at this age. Seeing that other families of the same age as my eldest brother have grandchildren, not only am I anxious, but my father is also anxious! He wishes my eldest brother could find a partner right away!"
In fact, Ye Shuning has always suspected that her brother has not been dating since he broke up with Sister Ye. He might have been unable to forget her and that's why he hasn't found a partner. Secondly, Sister Song's family is a bit complicated, but she is a nice person, so she wanted to bring them together.
Ye Shuning did not treat Shuying as an outsider and told her everything in detail.
She also said that if it weren't for her stepmother's interference and the quarrel between her father and eldest brother, her brother would not have been separated from Sister Song because of the bride price.
Ye Shuning was quite satisfied with Song Minglan, but somewhat dissatisfied with her family.
Song Jie Niang is a stepmother, and being a stepmother is not easy. She had met Song's mother before, and she was a very gentle person, but unfortunately her character was too soft and weak, and she was always suppressed by her ex-wife's children.
Back then, the three siblings had a quarrel with their father and moved out of the office building to live on their own. Her second brother had a job at the time, but he got married soon after and had to take care of his own family first. She didn't have a job at the time and had to rely on her eldest brother for support.
The Song family didn't know her family background and disliked her brother for being a soldier and having a poor child to burden them. So the Lion asked for a sky-high dowry from her brother. Her eldest brother wanted to send his salary to her at the time, but she refused.
The two people who had never discussed marriage broke up immediately.
Because of this, Ye Shuning has always felt a little guilty.
The more Shuying listened to Sister Ye talking about the Song family, the more she frowned. If her own brother had a partner with such a complicated background, she might not agree.
When two people get married, they represent not only two people, but two families.
She always felt that if Song Minglan really got together with the eldest brother of the Ye family, the Ye political commissar's family would never have a peaceful life in the future.
It’s okay now that we’re far away, but what will happen when we return to Kyoto in the future?
Moreover, she always felt that Song Minglan was too scheming, no less than Sister Ye's stepmother. However, Sister Ye had a good relationship with Song Minglan, so she didn't want to gossip about her.
If the eldest brother of the Ye family really has some feelings for Comrade Song, it would be difficult for her, an outsider, to be a bad person.
Shuying could only advise: "Sister Ye, it's useless to worry yourself. You might as well wait for your eldest brother to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and ask him what he thinks. Then you can make plans! What if your good intentions go wrong? After all, marriage is a lifelong matter and a matter for two families!"
The shadows of the trees were just a hint of the sun outside. It was getting brighter and brighter. It was almost noon, so she took the children and left.
Ye Shuning saw them off to the door.
After Shuying took the children away, Aunt Zhou came out of the kitchen. She also heard what her daughter-in-law had just said to Axi's wife. At first, Aunt Zhou was in favor of the eldest brother of the Ye family finding a partner, but after hearing about the complicated background of Comrade Song's family, Aunt Zhou, like Axi's wife, did not agree with her daughter-in-law to match her eldest brother with a partner with such a complicated background.
The Ye family is now in unrest because of a stepmother. If the eldest son of the Ye family really marries Comrade Song and has a family that is not easy to deal with, can the Ye family still expect to live a peaceful life?
And now we still don't know whether Comrade Song is a good person or a traitor. If he is a good person, it's fine. But if he is a traitor, not only will the eldest son of the Ye family have a hard time in the future, but Political Commissar Ye will probably have a hard time in the future too. After all, the eldest son of the Ye family is the eldest son.
Aunt Zhou usually didn't get involved in the affairs of the Ye family, but this time she spoke up: "Shuning, I think what Axi's wife said is right. Don't be too hasty about your eldest brother's choice of partner. Wait for your eldest brother to come back and ask him what he thinks. Don't do something with good intentions and then mess it up. If your eldest brother doesn't agree, what will the lesbian do? Gay men are thick-skinned, but lesbians need to have dignity."
Auntie Zhou's words completely put an end to Ye Shuning's idea of matchmaking.
On the other side, facing the warm sun, Shuying led the child towards his home, and as he walked, he looked at his child's trouser pockets which were stuffed with peanuts, rice cakes and candies.
Well, almost every time I go to Zhou’s house, this little guy’s trouser pockets are bulging.
I have to say, Auntie Zhou is really good to this child.
Chen Yi even took out a glutinous rice noodle and stood on tiptoe to feed it to Shu Ying: "Auntie, here you go!"
"I don't want to eat, you eat it by yourself!" Shuying asked the child what he wanted to eat for lunch.
"Meat!" Chen Yi blurted out, and quickly replied: "I love everything that Auntie cooks! Auntie, I love you so much!"
What a sweet little mouth.
Shuying thought that there should be a lot of eels, loaches and lobsters at this time of year. She had made braised eels and loaches many times, but she had never made lobster. Her husband and children loved spicy lobster and hot and spicy lobster.
Shuying plans to go to the countryside or the market to buy some lobsters, and then buy a watermelon to take home when the weather gets warmer.
Passing by Gao's house, Shuying heard the three brothers playing. He let the child in to play without restraining him, and told him to wait for lunch as the Gao family would have lunch soon, and then he went home to have lunch.
Children of this age love to play with their friends, and Chen Yi is no exception. He was eager to play when he heard the voices of the three Gao brothers.
Chen Yi nodded, and before running in, he suddenly said with his big eyes, "Auntie, I don't want to eat meat anymore. You give me a brother, and our family can save money to raise him!"
