"If that's the case, I'd be willing to move." Jian Shu smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity I don't have such good luck."
"Okay, let's not spread this matter out. It's enough for our family to know about it." Meng Ying thought more and gave special instructions.
The current situation is special, so keeping a low profile is the right thing to do. If this matter gets out, it may not be a good thing. There will definitely be many people coming to watch the fun, and with so many people, who knows what kind of news will spread?
In addition, there is a pregnant woman at home who is about to give birth, so this cannot become the central argument of right and wrong.
"I understand!" Jian Shu and the other two knew what was going on. Their expressions became serious for a moment, and they nodded in response.
"Mom, let's keep this radish for two more days. It would be a shame to eat such a big radish. Let me play with it for two more days!" Zhao Yueling was reluctant to eat the radish and completely forgot what she had said when she pulled the radish earlier.
Meng Ying was also a little reluctant, and nodded immediately after hearing this, "Okay, we can keep it even when the weather gets cold. Let's eat the remaining radishes first, and save this for now."
"Great! I'll get the camera and take a picture with the big radish!" Zhao Yueling ran into the house happily, ready to freeze the big radish in the photo forever.
Meng Ying looked at her with amusement, picked up all the radish leaves on the ground and put them in the basket, then carried the basket to the chicken coop, threw all the leaves and radish tops in to feed the chickens, and then carried the remaining ten or so radishes into the kitchen.
"How do you want to eat these radishes?"
Jianshu had already made plans, "Use two radishes to make radish balls, and as for the rest, just dry them in the sun."
You can’t finish it in one or two meals. Besides, there are many dishes at home, so there is no need to eat radish for every meal. Eating too much of it will cause heartburn.
"Then I'll make you meatball soup tonight. The chickens laid four eggs today. I'll also cut some leeks and scrambled eggs for you." Meng Ying confirmed the recipe.
Jianshu nodded. She had no opinion on what to eat. Nowadays, she enjoyed everything she ate. There was no food she didn’t want to eat, only food she couldn’t get enough of.
"It's great to raise chickens at home. You can eat the eggs warm. It's a pity that we can't raise them after you're out of confinement." Meng Ying mentioned this with some regret.
Having chickens at home is much better than buying eggs. Money is secondary, but you need tickets. The monthly supply is limited, and if you want more, you have to trade with others. Not only is it troublesome, but the eggs may not be fresh.
"Raising chickens at home is troublesome. Not only do you have to remember to feed them every day, but they are also dirty, smelly and noisy," Jianshu continued.
"That's true." Meng Ying deeply agreed with this point. After all, these chickens were basically taken care of by her these days.
But for many people, what does noise matter? What does dirt matter? They don't mind! Compared to the benefits they get, they are willing to endure these.
Unfortunately, many people can’t afford it.
While the two were chatting, Zhao Yueling quickly found the camera and ran back.
"Sister, hurry up and take a few more pictures for me!" She stuffed the camera into Jianshu's hand, and posed while holding the carrot, waiting expectantly.
Jianshu worked tirelessly to take photos of his sister, directing her while trying to find the camera. "Come over here, the light is too dim!"
"Okay, let's try another move."
"You sit in the radish field, holding the radish, and I'll take another picture of you!"
“…”
After taking many photos in a row, Meng Ying felt a little itchy and soon joined in.
Individual photos, couple photos, group photos... the clicking sounds never stopped.
Knowing that Meng Ying had gone to cook, he stopped with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
"Lingling, go bring in all the things drying outside. The sun is about to set, and there will be dew if you stay up late."
"Oh, I get it." Zhao Yueling reluctantly put down the camera, looked at the dust on her body, and went back to the room to change clothes.
On the other side, Gu Mingjing had just left the office after get off work when he met young people who came to chat with him one after another. Their words were all about asking about Zhao Yueling's situation.
Gu Mingjing didn't look away. After the other person finished speaking for a long time, he replied with two words lightly, "No way!"
He didn't dare to make any promises outside. Zhao Yueling had parents above her and brothers and sisters before her. How could it be his turn to worry about this?
After turning away several young men in a row, he met an even more shameless one. He pretended not to understand his refusal and continued to approach him, saying with a playful smile: "Captain, what do you say about me being your brother-in-law? Marriage is a lifelong event for me. If I don't choose the right person, it will be a waste of time. I have to find someone who knows me well. How can outsiders be as reliable as our own people?"
Gu Mingjing rolled his eyes at him, "It's useless to tell me, stop wasting time!"
"Then can you help me with something? I'll fight for it myself! Hehe, you see, I'm not bad either. My family conditions are good too. I was promoted to battalion commander just before the New Year. I'm a young talent anyway. Maybe our girl will like someone like me?"
"Matchmaking?" Gu Mingjing stopped.
"Yes, just pull a string!"
Gu Mingjing sneered and still uttered those two familiar words, "No way!"
"No, Captain, can you bear to see me being single?"
"How can you be so cruel!" Gu Mingjing was cold-blooded and heartless, without any sympathy at all.
Sympathize with him? Then who will sympathize with me?
Forget about matchmaking, if he mentioned it in Jian Shu's writing, he would probably be kicked out of the house that night.
In his wife's eyes, her sister is still young, so why rush?
And that big Buddha far away in Beijing, if he knew that he was introducing a boyfriend to his daughter, he would probably try to trip him up again.
Gu Mingjing quickened his pace, shook off the group of people behind him, and rushed back home.
Seeing that he looked as if he was being chased by a ghost, the people at home understood what was going on.
"Is someone pestering you to be a matchmaker again?" Jian Shu was asking Gu Mingjing, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Yueling, full of mockery.
"Our Lingling is a grown-up girl now, and has attracted a group of young men to like her." Meng Ying felt a mixture of pride and bitterness as if her daughter had grown up.
"That's normal. A daughter of one family is sought after by hundreds of families. What's more, our Lingling is so outstanding, of course someone likes her." Jianshu looked very proud, as if she was the one being pursued.
Of course, your own sister is the best.
Zhao Yueling blushed, "Sister——"
"Oh, you're still shy. Weren't there any boys who liked you in school? Tell me quietly, I promise not to tell anyone else!" Jian Shu leaned close to Zhao Yueling's ear and gossiped.
"Oh, I won't talk to you anymore!" Zhao Yueling glanced at Meng Ying and Gu Mingjing beside her, kicked the chair away and ran away.
Jianshu was unwilling to give up, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chased after him.
"I'll go check it out!"
"Dinner is almost ready, remember to come out and eat!" Meng Ying said, but didn't follow.
It was even more impossible for Gu Mingjing to follow them. The two sisters were having a heart-to-heart talk, why would he follow them? To get beaten?
