Officer Li: "Auntie, did I hear that right? You're saying my cousin is just missing a wife like Wang Xiaoman?"
Li Guixiang looked at her silly nephew with disdain: "Well, your cousin is just missing a wife like that."
"Is my cousin your biological son?" Officer Li had always suspected that his cousin wasn't his aunt's biological son, but he hadn't dared to ask. Today, he took this opportunity to ask.
Li Guixiang glared at her nephew: "Are you looking for a beating? If he weren't my own son, would I care about him? Come on, come home with your aunt."
"Is my cousin really your biological son?"
"Are you looking for a beating?"
"Then how did you find him such a capable wife?"
“Your cousin needs to find a strong wife. Come on, let’s go home with your aunt.”
"Auntie, I have to go to work this afternoon." His aunt's house is quite far from here.
"Then let's go to your house, let's go."
"Come to my house?"
"Um."
"You're looking for my mother?"
"Um."
"Let's go then."
"good."
Officer Li's house wasn't far from here; we'd be there in no time. As soon as she entered, Li Guixiang called out loudly, "Xiulan, is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"
Cui Xiulan came out of the house: "Auntie, you're here. Come in quickly."
"Hmm. Is there anything to eat?"
Yes. Come inside.
"Um."
Officer Li wanted to go back to his room to sleep for a while: "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room and rest."
Cui Xiulan wanted to ask her son if he had eaten, but before she could, Li Guixiang spoke up: "Why are you going back inside? Your aunt has something to ask you. Come on, let's go inside."
After they went inside, Cui Xiulan started preparing food for Li Guixiang.
Officer Li found a chair and sat down: "Auntie, what would you like to ask? Go ahead and ask."
"What's that girl's name?"
"Wang Xiaoman".
Where is your home?
"Red Flag Village".
How many people are in your family?
"Five people: father, mother, younger brother, and younger sister."
Cui Xiulan came in carrying food: "Auntie, why haven't you eaten yet?"
"This noon, I went to Li's shop to buy something, and as soon as I went in, I saw your son..." Li Jiaxiang recounted what had happened.
Officer Li: "Auntie, you've been starving all this time just to ask me if I like Wang Xiaoman?"
"Um."
"You're really something. I'm your nephew. Why don't you ask whenever you want? Why do you have to wait on an empty stomach?"
"That won't do. What if you deny it later?"
Officer Li touched his nose: "Would I dare? If I didn't admit it, wouldn't you beat me up?"
"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"
Officer Li let out a silent lament. He'd dug himself a hole.
Cui Xiulan smiled at her son. "Son, is that girl really that amazing?"
"Um."
Li Guixiang picked up her bowl: "I'll eat some rice first."
"Auntie, may I go now?"
"no."
"Why isn't it working?"
"Weren't you going to teach Xiaoman to drive? When are you going to start?"
"I don't know, she's been busy these past few days. She said she'd come see me when she has time."
"So when do you think she'll come looking for you?"
"How could I possibly guess that?"
Li Guixiang glanced at her nephew: "How can you be so stupid?"
"Yes, yes, I'm clumsy. Auntie, can I go back to my room now?"
Li Guixiang waved her hand.
After finishing her meal, Li Guixiang looked at Cui Xiulan and said, "Don't you think this girl is both smart and capable?"
"yes."
"I want her to marry Junjun."
"What? You want her to marry Junjun?!"
"Um."
"This...isn't that inappropriate? She's from the countryside and doesn't have a job."
"My family is not short of money."
"Is the child willing?"
“I’m willing. I told him a long time ago that he needs to marry a strong-willed wife.”
"This... I still don't think it's appropriate."
“Perfect match. My son lacks nothing except a capable wife.”
"This...she's so amazing, won't she bully Junjun?"
Li Guixiang thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give her a try first."
How do we test it?
"I haven't decided yet. Okay, I'm leaving, you should rest too."
"Okay. Come over if you're free."
"Um."
After buying milk powder, Xiaoman and her father also bought two sets of farm tools and some cooking utensils. Passing by a pharmacy, Xiaoman went in and bought a lot of medicinal herbs.
Xiaoman's father: "Daughter, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?"
"study."
"study?"
"Um."
"You child, you're always wasting money. Your mother will scold you again when you get home."
Xiaoman smiled. Her mother was just saying it casually. "Let's go. Let's get these things to the valley first."
"good."
It was already dark, and her daughter and husband still hadn't returned. Xiaoman's mother went out to check several times.
As soon as Xiaoman and her father entered the gate, Xiaoman's mother came out of the house with a dark face: "Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"
Xiaoman's father secretly told Xiaoman's mother that they had sent some things to the valley.
Xiaoman's mother glared at him: "Can't you deliver it tomorrow? You have to go today?"
Xiaoman's dad: "Isn't this on the way? Hehe..."
Little Black called out a few times from inside the house: "Master, Master, someone is threatening me."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to check on Xiao Hei."
Xiaoman's dad: "Go ahead."
Xiaoman's mother: "What's so interesting about it?"
Little Black called out a few more times, "Master, Master, come in quickly."
As soon as Xiaoman entered, Xiaohei raised its two front hooves: "Master, come and comfort me, I was so scared today."
"Scared?" Xiaoman patted its paw. "Tell me, who was so blind?"
"Your grandma."
Did she discover that you can understand human speech?
"Yes." Xiao Hei recounted what had happened that morning.
Xiaoman patted its head: "Naughty. That old lady is very nice, don't tease her."
"She scared me first. By the way, how much does she know?"
“She knew I wasn’t her granddaughter.”
"I knew you wouldn't tell her. Master, I'm clever, aren't I?"
Xiaoman pinched Xiaohei's ear: "Smart, alright? Okay, I'll brew you some medicine, you can soak in it."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiaoman patted Xiaohei's head: "Wait."
"Um."
When Xiaoman's mother saw her brewing medicine, she asked her what she was doing. Xiaoman said she was brewing it to bathe Xiaohei. Xiaoman's mother thought Xiaoman was wasting money, but... thinking of her daughter's hunting skills, she didn't say anything.
The next day, Xiao Hei was able to stand up. As soon as it stood up, it asked Grandma Wang where her house was. After Xiao Man told it, it ran to Grandma Wang and showed off. The message was: I can walk now, you can't threaten me anymore.
Grandma Wang was so angry that she kicked it out.
Xiaoman and her father were about to go to the valley when the postman arrived. "Wang Xiaoman, your letter."
"Thank you." Xiaoman took the letter and tore it open. She finished reading it in a few seconds.
After reading it, she asked the postman if he could mail a reply for her.
The mailman said yes.
A little while later, Xiaoman finished writing her reply.
After the postman left, Xiaoman's father looked at his daughter and said, "My daughter is so smart, she can even write letters now."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I only wrote two words."
"Two words?"
