Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After Wang Dashan, Du Xiaojuan, and Wang Xiaohua left, the living room had a table full of leftover rice and dishes that needed clearing.

Wang Erhai said to Liu Mei Qi:

"Go wash the bowls and chopsticks."

Liu Mei Qi was somewhat displeased.

"Wasn't it agreed that you would make the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"I made the New Year's Eve dinner, shouldn't you wash the bowls and chopsticks?" Wang Erhai pulled a long face, and also said, "You wouldn't not want to do anything at all, would you?"

Liu Mei Qi really did not want to do it.

She originally did not even want Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan to spend the New Year at her place.

"Alright, alright, you two stop quarreling, I'll go wash them!"

Li Xiulan stepped forward voluntarily at this time.

"It's the New Year, we should tolerate each other a bit, say fewer unlucky words. Mei Qi, you rest, I'll go wash the dishes."

Wang Erhai said nothing more.

But he glared at Liu Mei Qi.

That look seemed as if he wanted to eat Liu Mei Qi.

Liu Mei Qi knew that if she did not go wash the dishes, after Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan left, she would definitely be given a beating by Wang Erhai again.

So although unwilling, she still went to wash the dishes with Li Xiulan.

"Wang Erhai, buy a dishwasher later!"

While washing the dishes, Liu Mei Qi suddenly said this to Wang Erhai.

"Alright, I'll go buy it when I have time."

Wang Erhai had also had enough of the quarrels brought by washing dishes.

So he also felt buying a dishwasher was very necessary.

Li Xiulan said instead:

"Why buy that thing? Bowls and chopsticks still have to be washed by hand to be clean, just like clothes, washing machines don't wash them clean!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly explained:

"Mom, machines nowadays are very high-tech, not only cleaner than hand washing, they even come with disinfection and sterilization functions!"

Li Xiulan said instead:

"How expensive would that be!"

Wang Erhai was speechless.

It was indeed quite expensive.

Bottom line, Li Xiulan was just used to saving and did not want to spend that money.

She was just like that, if she could not spend money, she would not spend money.

She would rather be troublesome and spend more time than be willing to spend money.

This might be one of the reasons she had been poor all her life.

Her thinking had always stayed at the lowest level, never realizing that for a person's whole life, the most valuable thing is time, because everyone's life is limited, if you spend your time on trivial matters, then naturally you have no time to study other more meaningful things.

So, some trivial matters in life, if they can be solved by machines, then one should not spend a lot of time personally doing them.

Additionally, personally doing these trivial matters consumes not only time, but also mental energy; once mental energy is consumed, you have no mental energy to do other things.

"Mom, rest assured, the dishwasher won't cost much money, we have that money, no need to be so thrifty."

Liu Mei Qi said this.

Then she said to Wang Erhai:

"Wang Erhai, come take care of the trash, take it downstairs to throw away, don't leave it overnight!"

Wang Erhai was speechless:

"I was thinking of taking Mom and Dad out shopping later, can I throw it away after going downstairs later?"

Liu Mei Qi said instead:

"No, go throw it away now!"

She just couldn't stand Wang Erhai lounging with his legs crossed doing nothing.

Wang Erhai did not want to quarrel with Liu Mei Qi, so he finally compromised.

He took the trash downstairs to throw it away in a sullen mood.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Wang Dashan, Du Xiaojuan, and Wang Xiaohua had already come to Xiao Xueqing's residence.

Xiao Xueqing's residence was in Aoyuan Villa District.

This was the earliest villa district in this small county town.

Very luxurious.

All were detached villas.

Actually this small county town only had two villa districts, one Aoyuan, one Country Garden.

Aoyuan is near the center of County Town, just a five-minute drive from the County Government.

The Bigu Yuan Villa District is farther away, in a scenic mountainous area outside County Town, nestled against mountains and water, with a very good environment.

When Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai got married together before, the villa Wang Erhai booked was the Bigu Yuan Villa.

Park the car in the parking space outside the detached villa.

Du Xiaojuan opened the trunk and took out the gifts prepared in advance for Xiao Xueqing.

Then she gave one of the gifts to Wang Xiaohua.

"Xiao Hua, you give this to Xiao Xueqing."

What Du Xiaojuan gave Wang Xiaohua was that thermos cup.

She thought for a moment and felt that Wang Xiaohua giving a thermos cup did not quite match his status.

So she changed the gift again.

She handed that fountain pen worth tens of thousands of yuan to Wang Xiaohua:

"You'd better give this to Xiao Xueqing; this better matches your identity as a Tsinghua University student."

Wang Xiaohua didn't think much about it; he had no idea this fountain pen cost tens of thousands of yuan.

He thought it was just a small gift worth one or two hundred yuan.

So he nodded readily:

"Alright, Eldest Sister-in-law."

Du Xiaojuan handed the thermos cup to Wang Dashan:

"You take this!"

Wang Dashan followed the arrangement and took the thermos cup over.

Du Xiaojuan held that box of cosmetics.

That way, all three of them had gifts in hand.

They wouldn't be empty-handed and rude to others.

The three of them walked into the villa courtyard together.

Xiao Xueqing came out personally to welcome them.

The three of them all presented their gifts.

Xiao Xueqing smiled politely and said:

"Just come, why bring any gifts?"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"They're just some inexpensive little things, just a small gesture; please accept them, County Magistrate Xiao!"

Xiao Xueqing glanced at them and felt that besides the box of cosmetics being a bit more expensive, the other two were probably not worth much, so she smiled and accepted them.

If she knew they were too expensive, she wouldn't dare to accept them instead.

After all, accepting gifts that are too expensive is equivalent to taking bribes.

That would leave people with leverage over her.

It can only be said that Du Xiaojuan is too cunning.

The fountain pen she had Wang Xiaohua give didn't even have a gift box; it was just a single fountain pen.

And Xiao Xueqing didn't know much about fountain pens; who would know that this unremarkable fountain pen was worth tens of thousands of yuan?

When she later checks the true value of this fountain pen, she'll probably be shocked.

Other guests had also come to Xiao Xueqing's home.

They were all relatives and friends.

Xiao Xueqing's parents were also there.

Additionally, there were relatives from her Waimu's side, saying they came to propose a match.

When Du Xiaojuan and the others came in, while Xiao Xueqing was pouring tea to receive guests, an old auntie kept chattering nonstop, saying she wanted to introduce a sea-returned PhD to Xiao Xueqing.

Xiao Xueqing smiled and said only:

"Aunt Gui, you have him add my WeChat later; I'll chat with him on WeChat. If we get along, we'll develop it; if we don't, it can only be said we have no fate."

"Xueqing, you can't be picky anymore. Although you are Deputy County Magistrate, you're already in your late thirties. If you keep being choosy, you'll be forty in the blink of an eye!"

Aunt Gui spoke earnestly and said:

"He's a sea-returned PhD; his conditions are not bad!"

Xiao Xueqing smiled politely:

"I don't dislike him; maybe he dislikes me! To put it nicely, I'm Deputy County Magistrate; to put it bluntly, I'm just a small county civil servant. How would a sea-returned PhD look up to me?"

Wang Xiaohua and the others saw this and were all somewhat refreshed in their cognition.

They were secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xueqing, such a great beauty in the system with both beauty and power, would actually worry about finding a partner.

It can only be said that the real world is cruel to women.

Once a woman passes thirty and becomes a leftover woman, it's hard to find a partner.

Especially for women with good conditions, it's even harder.

Because finding someone with worse conditions than themselves, they are unwilling to settle downward.

Finding someone with better conditions, the groom's home would think: they have those conditions, so why find a leftover woman in her thirties? Isn't it better to find a simple young girl in her twenties?

Leftover women are very realistic; you spend money and effort, but you might not necessarily get her heart.

Simple young girls in their twenties are different; you spend a little money, don't need to put in too much effort, and can make her happy, and she can also provide you with good emotional value.

Women need emotional value; don't men need it the same way?
