Chapter 1023: The Eldest Aunt has arrived

Today's livestream is the main event; even if he doesn't post a teaser, many people have their notifications turned on, waiting to pounce at any moment.

But... he still has to post an announcement explaining that the pig-slaughtering scene cannot be livestreamed.

It's too bloody and won't pass the review.

However, no sooner had the announcement been posted than he heard Xin Jun calling him from the hallway: "Zhang Yanping, it seems your mother is here."

"Don't crack jokes like that, I'm warning you." He stood up, preparing to go downstairs, while glaring at Xin Jun:

"It's almost the end of the year, the fruit business is booming, how would my mother have the time... Holy crap!"

Zhang Yanping's "underworld boss" face was about to shatter: "It really is my mother!"

The underworld bigwig instantly lost his composure, scurrying around like a panicked field mouse, but in the end, he took a deep breath, burning his bridges:

"Forget it! It's almost New Year, I can still stall!"

There were few people today, so Wu Fang couldn't be bothered to argue, and for now, she just brushed you off: "Bad, bad, bad, later you just ask them if they have a partner—Aunt, he came all this way even without doing the egg pancake business, you're really too touched... Come, come, come, go help the Seventh Uncle in the kitchen..."

You softened up: "Why are you so promising! You're getting on in years, hurry up and settle down!"

Just as you were speaking, you saw Lu Chuan walking over with Qin Yun and He Kuang. It was early in the morning, and he was worthy of the description "eyebrows like a painting": "You said yesterday you'd arrange for us to pick vegetables today, are we picking them now?"

"Don't! Don't! Don't let your aunt go into our kitchen, if I see your stingy look, I won't be able to cook the vegetables well!"

After thinking about it, she even added a reminder: "And don't let your aunt wash the vegetables; I can't bear to throw away the old leaves."

"Where are we even at? We have to set up fifteen or sixteen tables today. If you hadn't said you were coming so late, I would have booked a car in the city and brought you along on the way."

Today, he had changed into a light blue denim shirt as an inner layer; at first glance, it looked like Oxford cloth, but a closer look revealed it to be ultra-fine cashmere. His snow-white skin peeked through, paired with his exceptionally outstanding appearance, leaving the Eldest Aunt stunned on the spot.

Wu Fang was finally relieved: "Then do you know how to get up the mountain?"

Good, good, good! The essence of the Eldest Aunt—never expected it to be grasped by the Seventh Uncle!

Wu Fang:...???

You pushed people toward the kitchen, but the Seventh Uncle couldn't accept it, his eyes widening at that moment:

Lu Chuan looked down at you and gave a soft "Hmm": "I know, you go do your busy work, don't worry about us."

【Uncle, it's me, Tan Tan, why are you becoming less promising as you get older? In the first half of the year, you couldn't afford to support Grandpa, and in the second half, you can't even afford to eat pork...】

Wu Fang:...

Eldest Aunt:...

You were bewildered, then laughed: "Eldest Aunt, what are you thinking? This is my friend. Where do you see us dating?"

After he left, the Eldest Aunt's eyes seemed to glow: "Tan Tan! Is that your partner... My goodness! Who introduced him to you? He's so handsome!"

You took out your phone: "Your uncle is calling!"

She instantly felt a pang of heartache: "Then hosting them is a loss!"

【My brother's family is slaughtering five pigs today, I'm going to go share in the luck too!】

Looking at her now, she was practically a shadow of her former self.

This made your mood very complicated; after all, you had fallen out with the Eldest Brother, but your family was still barely maintaining a facade of civility.

"Are you heartless?"

The Eldest Aunt looked at Wu Fang, only to see her smiling with curved eyebrows: "Eldest Aunt, I'll get you a set of pig small intestines before you leave later!"

Wu Fang had really come back to help Wu Lan this time—after all, pig slaughtering had always been a big deal, requiring friends and relatives to come and help, but what she hadn't expected was that the courtyard was now swarming with people, clearly not lacking her bit of labor.

The Eldest Aunt instantly defected: "Oh my, you really know how to live; pig small intestines can be sold for quite a bit of money once cleaned... Wait for me to wash them, Aunt isn't afraid of getting dirty!"

The two families had long since fallen out; the Eldest Aunt understood this in her heart, she had just forgotten to change the address for a moment.

"Pah! Whose blood ties are worth less than two renminbi? Isn't it just him!"

Didn't expect Wu Lan to come herself.

"It would be good if I didn't spit on him twice, let alone invite him?! Keep dreaming!"

A good chef would cherish ingredients. But no one was stingy to that extent! The Seventh Uncle immediately walked away, fuming.

At this moment, she was still looking around: "Where's our brother? Didn't he come to help today?"

Good heavens! Song Tan was instantly furious:

Wu Fang saw it from afar and hurried over to ask: "What's wrong? Why are you angry so early in the morning?"

Lu Chuan smiled: "Don't worry, the Seventh Uncle made a list yesterday, it specifies what to pick and how much."

Wu Lan, however, had already let go; she thought to herself, you don't even know how much we're going to lose! At this, she laughed out loud:

Just...

That Moments post had been made over an hour ago, and there were quite a few comments underneath, most of which were from people wanting to buy pork, and the Eldest Aunt had earnestly replied to each one saying it wasn't for sale.

*Cough. *

Pig small intestines?!

Her own relatives all had things to do, Song Tan had only mentioned it while chatting, she hadn't intended for them to come; anyway, once the pigs were slaughtered, she could just have the children bring the meat over.

Song Tan didn't pay much attention, just staring at her phone for a moment, only to see the Eldest Aunt's Moments post—

【Does he even think highly of you for you to go share in the luck? Blood ties are worth less than two renminbi. Hosting a pig-slaughtering feast without even inviting your own brother, heh.】

Wu Fang nodded: "Right, there are many people here, and everyone is noisy, I'm afraid you won't be used to staying here. It's better to go up the mountain to pick vegetables—do you remember what to pick?"

Once she looked at the Eldest Aunt's Moments again, Wu Fang laughed out loud and quickly replied underneath:

The photo attached was one taken when the Eldest Aunt came over to visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Song Tan, look at the Moments post I made this morning, our Eldest Brother commented underneath..."

That was talking about Tan Tan's Eldest Uncle, so Song Tan waved her hand: "There are many people coming today, it's noisy, so I troubled them to keep a good watch over by the pasture, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

The Eldest Aunt wasn't willing either: "Tan Tan, don't make me stay in the kitchen, those chefs are all so heavy-handed, my blood pressure goes up just watching them—why don't you just have me clear the tables—eh?"

"Are we inviting so many people to slaughter pigs?"

Just as she was speaking, she saw the Eldest Aunt, Song Hongmei, squeeze over, holding her phone in her hand:

Not to mention anything else, when he was helping Song Hongmei make egg pancakes, she was so stingy she counted every drop of oil brushed on the pan!

The only one who hadn't replied was Song Dafang.

The reply on her own phone at this moment...

"Right, right, right!" Those cattle and sheep are valuable now, Wu Lan didn't quite understand.

The Eldest Aunt glared at her, frustrated: "What do you mean 'your friend, my friend'? This young man is so handsome, and his temperament is so good, you still treat him as just a friend after seeing him!" ===== CHAPTER 1024 =====
