Chen Ruixue, along with her father, third uncle, and grandfather, traveled by car to the Ouyang family home.
This is a place I know very well.
I have visited the Ouyang family countless times since I was a child.
As the family entered, Grandpa and Grandma Ouyang warmly invited them to sit in the living room. Grandma Ouyang pulled Chen Ruixue aside and said with a smile.
"Ruixue has grown into a beautiful young woman. Look how pretty and elegant she has become."
By the way, I heard you were sent to the countryside a while ago.
People in this circle all know about this.
"Yes, this little girl is willing to endure hardship even though she doesn't know how."
We told her not to go, but she insisted. It was a real struggle to persuade her to come back. You know how stubborn that girl is—you couldn't pull her back even with ten oxen.
The old man was scolding his granddaughter.
"Old Chen, you're not doing this right. Ruixue is just being individualistic."
Moreover, her willingness to endure hardship at the grassroots level proves that this child is destined for great things.
"I actually like her personality."
The old lady genuinely liked Chen Ruixue from the bottom of her heart. Because she and Ouyang Sheng met late and had children late, although the two families were friends, their children were actually from different generations.
But the old lady really liked Ruixue.
Old Master Chen said with a smile,
"Okay, then you can keep it at your home if you like."
When Ruixue was little, she cried and begged to be your daughter-in-law.
The old man said this in a mix of genuine and feigned joking.
Chen Ruixue's face immediately turned pale. She hadn't expected her grandfather to make fun of her in front of others.
Moreover, knowing full well that he already had someone he loved and could no longer agree to the marriage proposal from the Ouyang family, his grandfather deliberately said that.
Even a fool could see that Grandpa was doing this on purpose again; he had orchestrated so many blind dates for himself recently.
This time, they used the same old trick again.
Grandma Ouyang said with a smile,
"Sure, I really like Ruixue."
However, if Ruixue were to marry my son, there would be a generational difference. If you are willing, I would not object.
Although our third son just came back, he has a good character, is handsome, and is also very capable.
Ruixue, let me tell you, your Third Brother Ouyang is a rare and exceptional man.
Chen Ruixue had already heard that the third son of the Ouyang family had been found, but this was still awkward.
"Grandma Ouyang, please don't say that."
I call you Grandma, just like Grandpa does.
Ouyang Sange has just returned home; he'll definitely need some time to adjust.
Moreover, with such a good character as Brother Ouyang, he will definitely find a girl who is suitable for him.
My answer is no, if our two families were to have a wedding ceremony, the generations would be messed up. So, should I call you Grandma or Mom?
Chen Ruixue giggled and came up with an excuse.
How could Old Mrs. Ouyang not have noticed?
The little girl was clearly resistant.
However, she was slightly unhappy. Although her third child was someone she had just found outside, he was no different from the child who had grown up by her side.
Such an outstanding third child is bound to be looked down upon by others.
After all, given the background of the third son, many people would assume that he was found outside and had not received a good education.
Unexpectedly, even the granddaughter of the Chen family looked down on her own son.
"Yes, it's not appropriate for you two to be from different generations."
No problem, we're planning a get-together in a few days and will invite all our old friends and relatives.
Let me take this opportunity to introduce our third child to everyone, and let you all officially meet him.
Chen Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little guilty, as the old lady had watched her grow up.
My words just now were rather obvious attempts to evade responsibility.
He hurriedly said with a smile,
"Grandma, my third uncle must be a handsome man, and he will definitely find a girl who suits him."
On that day, I will definitely tell them to bring all the eligible girls, so that my third uncle can have his fill.
"Look at me, I'm like a wild girl, I'm definitely not good enough for Uncle San. Uncle San is such a handsome man, he definitely deserves a better girl."
Grandma Ouyang looked at the little girl and smiled helplessly. The little girl was very good at calming herself down. These words elevated her third son while belittling herself.
"Ruixue, you're just spouting nonsense."
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. Arrange for your fifth son and Ruixue to meet one of these days."
"I've got my eye on your fifth son. He's a real research talent; I heard he's already preparing for his PhD."
The old lady lowered her voice, her voice slightly warmed.
"Old Chen, that's enough. If your granddaughter doesn't like my grandson, why do you still want to pick and choose in our family?"
What brings you here today?
If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep dodging the issue and talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you.
We're not a vegetable vendor; you can't just pick whatever you want and choose whoever you want. Who do you think you are?
Our third son is the third son of the Ouyang family; no one else has the right to criticize him.
Grandpa Chen immediately realized that Grandma Ouyang was angry.
Thinking about my granddaughter's attitude just now, I knew that it must be because of this awkward situation. I was originally thinking of taking this opportunity to set my granddaughter up on a blind date.
Who knew that my granddaughter, who never causes trouble at other times, would suddenly abandon me like this?
But right now, the eldest son's life is more important, and it's not the best time for the granddaughter to go on a blind date.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I was wrong, I was wrong."
Grandpa Chen apologized repeatedly, and given the good relationship between the two families, Grandma Ouyang couldn't say anything.
However, he said angrily,
"I'm warning you, you're just talking nonsense in front of me, so I won't hold it against you since we're all on the same side."
"If you upset my third son in front of him, let me tell you, Ouyang won't let you off the hook."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I understand. I promise I will never make your third son angry. If your third son wants the stars, I will never give him the moon."
That ingratiating and obsequious manner amused and angered Old Mrs. Ouyang.
"Fifth Brother, come and take Ruixue and the others for a stroll in our yard, and pick a few bunches of grapes while you're at it."
Although he said that, he couldn't bear to part with Ruixue, a good girl he had watched grow up since she was little.
Whether Lao Wu and Rui Xue can get together depends on themselves. If they like each other, no one can stop them. If they don't like each other, no amount of matchmaking by the older generation will help.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen gave a thumbs up, saying that it was his sister-in-law who understood what he was thinking.
Ouyang Huainan came out of the house and led Chen Ruixue into the courtyard.
"Ruixue, when did you get back? I didn't even know you were back in the capital."
"The last time I saw your brother, he said he wanted to go to the Northwest to see you."
