"Brother Ge, what's that boy's family situation?"
Chen Ji, Chen's mother Chen Jiandang, Xia Laidi, and Chen Jianguo standing to the side.
A group of people were on the road. Xia Laidi got a little excited and started asking about the boy's home.
Chen Jianguo's lips curled slightly. "I have a house and a car, I'm officially married, but the key thing is that my mother isn't here!"
The group was taken aback. "Mother is not here" -- what does that mean?
The initially cheerful atmosphere suddenly turned heavy, and Chen Jianguo wondered why no one was saying anything.
Turning around, seeing the somber atmosphere among the group, a thought flashed through my mind, and I slapped my forehead in frustration.
“Father, Mother, Second Brother, your Sister Li is wrong. It’s not that Mother is not here; it’s that both of the boy’s mothers are soldiers and are always in the army. They rarely come home throughout the year!”
Whew...
The group in the oxcart breathed a sigh of relief, while Chen's mother glared at Chen Jianguo's retreating figure.
"Old man, I've noticed you're becoming more and more unserious, and your words are all incoherent!"
Chen Jianguo felt embarrassed, so he didn't refute it.
"Brother, it's so far away. Will you be able to adapt if you marry her?"
"What if you encounter family members who are difficult to get along with?" Chen Jianguo asked worriedly.
Before Chen Jianguo could speak, Xia Laidi retorted, "With such good conditions, what are you still being picky about? If you keep being picky, you'll really be an old maid!"
Chen Jiandang immediately glared at her and said, "Shut up! My girl, even if she's an old maid, is yours to keep!"
Although Xia Laidi was angry, she still shut up out of fear.
Chen Jianguo then explained, but the Chen family members had a different opinion after hearing it.
"Unlike Su Xia, what if he has a different opinion?" Chen Jiandang said. "Brother, he's just an only child, without any brothers or sisters. What if something happens to him in the future...?"
Xia Laidi was strangely excited. Seeing that Chen Jiandang was not satisfied, she directly retorted, "Why do you say so much? We have many children, that's all. In the future, Grandpa's salary can continue to be given to the family!"
"Xia Laidi, believe it or not, if you keep arguing, I'll send you flying back right now!" Chen Jiandang raised his hand, and if anyone continued talking nonsense, he was immediately sent flying.
Chen's mother didn't stop him; the second son's mouth can be really sharp sometimes.
Chen Jianguo was speechless, never expecting that his second sister-in-law would still be thinking about his daughter's post-marital salary.
"Second brother, your daughter wants to find someone from a simple family with no complicated relationships. Besides, your sister-in-law's initial conditions were even more impressive."
"Owns a house and a car, ideally both parents deceased, so no need to take care of in-laws!"
Chen's mother... Does the old lady look down on the two of them?
Chen Jiandang and Xia Laidi were among the most shocked, and when they finally saw Chen's mother, her face darkened.
Chen Jiandang smiled wryly and coughed several times. Chen Jianguo turned around in confusion and found that Chen Jianguo's mother seemed to be overthinking things.
Coming to her senses, she quickly added, "Xiaxia said, 'Parents like Dad and Mom are hard to find...'"
After saying this, Chen's mother immediately brightened up and even proudly raised her chin.
He would occasionally glance at Chen Jiandang and his wife, as if to say, "Your daughter won't find such good in-laws as you!"
Chen Jiandang... speechless!
Xia Laidi... thought to herself, "They have the same in-laws, but it's better to be with Sister-in-law!"
After arriving in the county town, Chen's mother immediately abandoned her daughter's affairs, leaving her alone with the child.
"Xiao Bao, have you missed Grandpa?"
Little Bao... "Eeya eeya..."
"Little girl... come and call Grandma!"
Little girl...."Ah ah....."
Chen Jiandang and Xia Laidi wanted to report, but unfortunately Chen's mother never gave them the chance.
Chen Jiandang went to buy meat, and also bought vegetables brought from the village.
Soon, with Xia Laidi's help, Su Xia prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Chen Jiandang went to pick up Geya. To be honest, when Geya heard that her relatives were looking for her, her first thought was that something had happened to her family.
After learning the situation, I felt a little embarrassed and shocked, and I actually did look for the place as my aunt had suggested.
There really are only children; I learned that term from my aunt.
She sat bewildered on the back of her friend's bicycle, not hearing a word Chen Jiandang said.
After everyone left, Sister Li said to the others, "Country people are just hopeless, they don't even know how to talk to anyone!"
Everyone else... stay away. Although Teacher Chen is dark-skinned, he's dressed cleanly and neatly, and he even has a bicycle. He's better off than them, okay?
Sister Li pouted, turned her head, snorted, and walked away, still itching to get back at Brother Ge's scolding.
Especially my sister-in-law, she said things she shouldn't have said, and then blamed it all on me. It makes me so angry.
Station Master Lei had taken his nephew to buy a gift early in the morning. His wife kept giving him instructions. Looking at her nephew standing in front of her, he was tall, with a strong appearance and a straight posture. At first glance, he seemed good-looking.
Upon closer inspection—"Cong Jin, can you please stop looking so long?"
"Yeah, it's like everyone owes you money!" Station Master Lei complained.
His wife glared at him. "Shut up! How can you talk to a child like that?"
Station Master Lei shut up, then sighed... "I can't even talk to him!"
Zhou Congjin wanted to laugh, but he had always been a serious soldier and never smiled, so his smile now was a little creepy.
"Auntie, you know this is how it is!"
"Of course I know, but the little girl doesn't know. Don't you see how many girls have been scared away by your cold face!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Congjin did not refute it, but instead followed his aunt's lead in arranging his clothes.
After a long and difficult time, the three of them finally finished and left the house. It was almost eleven o'clock.
"Hurry up, old man! Why didn't you remind me?"
"Why didn't you remind me? You were the one dawdling, weren't you?"
"What did you say...?" The volume increased.
Station Master Lei immediately backed down again. Zhou Congjin, watching the two get along, couldn't help but feel envious and looked forward to their upcoming meeting.
After seeing Xia Ya return home, Su Xia immediately handed over her work to Xia Laidi, saying, "Second sister-in-law, you watch over things here!"
"OK...!"
"Where did Auntie go?"
"Let me change your clothes and make you look nice!"
꺶Ya immediately blushed and followed behind with her head down.
When Chen's mother saw this, she said to Chen Jiandang, "That old couple treats your daughter-in-law better than you do your wife!"
Chen Jiandang felt no shame; instead, he smiled, still with that same feeling of being moved.
In the bedroom, Su Xia took a dress out of the closet and threw it to Ge Ya, telling her to change.
Gye-ya was at a loss. The dress was a white dress, but it was precisely because it was so white that she was afraid.
"Auntie, let's not change it!"
"Why didn't you dress up a bit better for a blind date!"
"How about we find something a bit older?"
"Old what? You think there's anything old here?"
Oh dear... I forgot that Auntie is not short of things.
Finally, under Su Xia's strictness, she changed into a dress. Su Xia then found a pair of leather shoes, which Ya wouldn't refuse, especially her aunt.
She had no choice but to transform from a gray blouse and black trousers into a white dress and black leather shoes, and Su Xia directly changed her ponytail to a high ponytail.
Braids—to her, they were too...
Sitting in front of the dressing table, letting her aunt fuss over her, Su Xia said after 10 minutes, "Okay, take a look for yourself!"
She opened her eyes and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Touching her cheek in disbelief, she exclaimed, "This is...?"
Su Xia smiled with satisfaction. "Of course, isn't it beautiful!"
After a long pause, she nodded, "Mmm..."
