"Once, during a casual chat in the office, a colleague asked who didn't live in the dormitory... A few days later, Sister Li told me that she had a nephew!"
Daya's voice grew softer and softer. She wasn't stupid, and she herself hoped to find someone simple, whose family wasn't so complicated, preferably not like her mother.
Su Xia scoffed, "Are you saying that you own a house in the county town?"
Daya glanced at her aunt and nodded, "Yes, they were quite surprised at the time. I told them it was my mother's house, for our convenience when going to school!"
Su Xia felt contempt in her heart; it seemed this family not only coveted Daya, but also the house.
Indeed, at that moment, Sister Li was also rushing to find her sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Li initially looked down on the girl because she was from the village, but when she heard that she was a teacher and a permanent employee, she changed her mind.
They're already somewhat interested. "I never expected a high school student to come to the village!"
Sister Li was also surprised. "I thought the girl was from the county town, but it turns out she's from the village. I heard she has two younger sisters who are also studying in the county town. One of them is taking the high school entrance exam this year. I wonder if she'll be able to pass?"
Sister-in-law Li was taken aback, then excitedly asked, "Don't you have a son in the family?"
Sister Li glared at her sister-in-law, "Of course she is! She's attending primary school in the village!"
Sister-in-law Li said awkwardly, "I thought you didn't have a son!"
Sister Li almost spat out her saliva—even if someone has a son, doesn't they still send their daughters to school?
"So this girl is the eldest, and she'll marry her later, while the younger brother is still so young...?"
Sister-in-law Li frowned, feeling that this was not quite right.
Seeing her like this, Sister Li carefully advised, "Sister-in-law, don't you think about it? What decent family in the county would want a girl like that to come to your house?"
Sister-in-law Li...
"You don't want someone who's unemployed? You think Chen Chun is about the same age and has a permanent job. Once he comes in, he'll hand over his salary, and then the family will have another source of income!"
"Don't forget, you still have two little ones, they'll be expenses in the future!" Seeing that her sister-in-law was still hesitating, Sister Li went straight for the drastic measure.
Sister-in-law Li then shut up. Indeed, her family's conditions seemed good, but it was precisely because Li Wei was the eldest son with younger brothers and sisters that it was difficult for him to find a partner.
"Then how about we meet in person?"
Sister Li was satisfied with the pickled vegetables. Then, remembering something, she leaned over and whispered, "This Chen Chun's family has a house in the county town. It's a detached house with a courtyard, much bigger than yours!"
Sister-in-law Li was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Sister Li nodded, "It's true, they live at home and walk to and from get off work every day!"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Li was already certain in her heart that this was her eldest son's wife.
What excellent conditions! If I were to marry her, her salary, even the house...
ah....
Seeing her sister-in-law immersed in her beautiful daydreams, Sister Li didn't interrupt. If her child weren't so young, she wouldn't have let her nephew have such a good time.
(As for why they wanted a house, in their view, Da Ya's younger brother was so young, and it was uncertain whether he would come to the county town in the future. It would be better to wait until he got married, and then gradually make it their own under the guise of borrowing it. There are many such examples.)
When Chen Jianguo returned home with his two children that evening, he saw Daya in the living room with his little one and greeted her warmly.
Niu Niu was the first to run over excitedly, "Big Sister Ya, when did you arrive?"
Da Ya smiled and said, "I came this afternoon!"
"Hello, Uncle, Da Bao, and Er Bao!"
Da Bao and Er Bao: "Big Sister Da Ya...!"
Chen Jianguo: "Okay... stay here while your uncle makes you something delicious!"
Daya nodded, and then Niu Niu pulled her along to start chatting.
Da Bao and Er Bao threw down their schoolbags and ran to the yard to play ball.
In the kitchen, Su Xia saw Chen Jianguo return and briefly told him about Da Ya's situation.
Chen Jianguo frowned more and more as he listened, and in the end he almost rushed over to settle scores with someone.
Su Xia quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
If this were Niu Niu, she probably wouldn't be able to get through lying down on her own.
"Should we tell the second son?" Chen Jianguo
Su Xia shook her head. "No need. Jian Dang isn't someone who doesn't understand things. What if Xia Lai Di agrees to tell him now?"
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. That sister-in-law was just too easily swayed. When the man heard this, everyone thought it was a good thing.
Su Xia had already figured out what to do. "Tomorrow I'll go to school with Da Ya to see that Sister Li. It's best if we don't meet!"
Chen Jianguo nodded. "Should I go too?"
Su Xia glanced at the man's large frame and thought that going there might be more effective.
"Okay, but the most important thing is still Da Ya's marriage!"
Chen Jianguo certainly knew, "I'll check if there are any suitable young men in my unit!"
Su Xia was finally satisfied. "Ideally, it would be a family with simple backgrounds and no complicated relationships. Da Ya's personality doesn't suit that kind of complicated family!"
Chen Jianguo blinked. "Your home is simple, I understand. But how exactly is it simple?"
Without a second thought, Su Xia wanted someone with a house and a car, a stable, full-time job, good character and values, preferably orphaned, but if they were alive, an only child would be fine too!
Chen Jianguo.....
I almost spat out a mouthful of blood. My lips trembled for a long time. I really couldn't understand how my wife could say that her rosy lips were colder than winter snow.
Everyone was happy during the meal, and Daya was also happy. Her favorite people were her aunt and Niu Niu, and the way they got along.
Unlike her mother, who always asks about food ration coupons and tries to save as much as possible during mealtimes, telling her to take the leftover food home...
Concealing her thoughts, she ate in small bites, when suddenly a piece of meat appeared in her bowl. Looking up, Su Xia said, "Eat more, look how thin you are!"
Daya nodded, then noticed Chen Jianguo staring blankly and asked curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Yes, it seems like Mom and Dad have been like this since just now!" Niu Niu said curiously.
Su Xia glanced at the man beside her, and only stopped him when the spoon was almost in Xiao Bao's nose.
Chen Jianguo woke up with a start, then realized everyone was staring at him. His second son, Erbao, even boldly asked, "Dad, what happened? You almost made my brother's nose bleed!"
Chen Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then looked down and found that the spoon was indeed next to his youngest son's nose.
Xiao Bao also said "Ah ah..."
Little Fatty struggled to push him away, but Chen Jianguo gave an awkward smile and said, "It's nothing...it's nothing..."
Big Girl.....
Niu Niu, Da Bao, Er Bao.....
Is everything alright?
After dinner, Chen Jianguo's eyes never left Daya. Although his wife's conditions were far from ideal, upon closer reflection, he realized that if they were true, Daya's life would be much less troublesome.
Daya felt a chill run down her spine, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Chen Jianguo thought for a moment and asked, "Da Ya, what kind of girl are you looking for?"
Daya's face instantly turned bright red. When her aunt asked, she wasn't so shy, but her uncle, a grown man...
Finally, she whispered, "I want to find someone simple, someone who's good to me, and doesn't have many complicated relationships!"
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. This was exactly what his wife thought was good!
"What about your siblings?" The question was phrased tactfully.
Daya blinked, remembering what her aunt had said that afternoon: "A car and a house, a stable job (or a permanent position), preferably orphaned, no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues, and able to be in charge of your own household. But an only child would be even better, since everything would be for the young couple, and your in-laws would help take care of the children!"
Da Ya initially thought it was a strange story, but after thinking about it for an afternoon, she realized that if it were true, it would actually suit her quite well.
"Uncle, you know my family. If it were like this, the relationships would be too complicated. It's better if we don't have that many siblings!"
Chen Jianguo asked nervously, "How many are there?"
Daya gritted her teeth, "The best one, an only child!"
Chen Jianguo.....
