Chapter 1059: Why?

After pushing and shoving for a while, everyone had different things to say about where to stand.

Song Tan didn't bother to participate and touched a dried chestnut—it was too dry, and she could hear the chestnut kernel rattling in the dry shell when she shook it. No wonder there were still a dozen left on the plate; who could chew this thing?

She pinched the shell open, trying to roughly peel off the brown soft skin that couldn't be peeled off anymore, but failed, so she planned to eat it muddled like that.

But when she turned her face, she saw Lu Chuan beside her frowning, and was stunned:

"Do you want to eat too? Here, for you!"

Lu Chuan was stunned, then reached out hesitantly to take the chestnut, saw that it still had a layer of brown soft skin on it, paused, and then patiently tried to pick it open…

Also failed.

After all, the chestnut kernel had dried up with the skin; it would be strange if it could be peeled off.

He wasn't in a hurry either, turned around to find a disposable bowl, threw the chestnut kernel in, and poured half a bowl of hot water to soak it.

Only then did he ponder: "Those two purchasers, and Old Man Zhu's family, shouldn't just be what they said, right?"

It didn't feel like it when there were many people, only knowing that this city leader was exceptionally humble and low-key. But when taking the photo, the two of them pushed and yielded to each other and didn't dare to touch the other person at all…

Song Tan also saw it, but she was confident that her family's food wouldn't offend anyone. Taking photos was a small problem, let them toss themselves.

…

The host wasn't in a hurry, so Lu Chuan was naturally even less in a hurry.

He turned around and picked the chestnut kernel out of the hot water, carefully peeling off the soft skin bit by bit again. However, just after peeling half of it, he suddenly heard Wu Lan happily greeting him:

"Lu Chuan, come, come, come, you are a distinguished guest today! Let's take one with us too!"

It must be said, if the city leader hadn't come to the house, the guests of honor today would definitely be Lu Chuan and his mother!

It's a pity that the young man didn't drink at noon, and couldn't find anyone in the family to accompany him.

Isn't that right, the leader has been humbly dawdling there for a long time, Wu Lan's face is beautifully painted, and she just wants to take a photo with Lu Chuan alone first.

The photographer is ready-made, so it's fine to take a few more.

Lu Chuan: …

He thought he was going to be added to that pile of people. He put the chestnut kernel he had finally peeled clean into Song Tan's palm and quickly stepped forward to make a suggestion—

"Auntie, there are many people today, taking one photo will be too crowded and not good-looking, and it won't show the focus."

"How about this, you guys take a group photo with Little Secretary Zhu and his family first. Then it's the two uncles here—finally, take one with our leader alone."

He said sincerely: "You don't have to enlarge all the photos, but make them into a photo wall or display stand of different sizes, it would look better at home, right?"

Wu Lan's eyes lit up.

Song Sancheng was even more overjoyed, and quickly greeted: "Right, right, right! Come, come, come! The old men are old, why don't we take it first?"

When this was said, Cong Yun, Secretary Wang, and the city leader all breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, without anyone greeting, they quickly found their positions. The old men stood in the back row, Wu Lan, Little Secretary Zhu, and Song Sancheng stood side by side in the front, how good!

This made the photographer breathe a sigh of relief.

"Click!"

The picture was frozen, it was perfect.

And Song Tan used her front teeth to try hard to "grind the skin" of the dried chestnut, and now looking at Lu Chuan who was soaking the chestnut again, she couldn't help but click her tongue in praise:

"Not bad, you really have it! You will definitely be a good hand at managing the family in the future!"

Lu Chuan had never received praise from this angle in his life, thought about it slightly, and nodded without modesty:

"That is indeed true."

……

The two of them were standing in the courtyard looking at the scenery, and the people looking at the scenery were greeting them upstairs:

"Chuan! Chuan! Peel two chestnuts for me too!"

Qin Yun was leaning on the railing on the terrace looking down, his voice suppressed very low: "Both of our stomachs are better."

But saying this inevitably brought two parts of melancholy.

Because half an hour after drinking the pig liver soup, they were sure they were better. But at this moment, they couldn't even squeeze out a rice ball, so they had to reach out to touch the pumpkin dried rice stalks and the like.

Can't say these don't taste good, the key is thinking about the pig-slaughtering dishes at noon, the more they eat, the more greedy they get.

But Lu Chuan was standing side by side with Song Tan, handsome men and beautiful women, looking bright, and eating sweetly, which made Qin Yun's intestines sour with jealousy—

How can there be such perfect people!

Writing books earns more than him, looks better than him, and the rewards for doing good deeds are so outstanding!

But the two of them were not promising, and finally caught up with a big meal but got a stomachache… Now opening his mouth to ask for chestnuts is not greed, purely to test the brotherhood.

Song Tan raised her head, that white face under the sun was about to glow, it was really good-looking!

And Lu Chuan also raised his head, the baseball cap covered half of his looks, but couldn't cover his bad intentions: "Can you still chew chestnuts? How much did the root canal treatment cost before?"

This sentence was like hitting a groundhog, Qin Yun instantly shrank his head and didn't make a sound.

After all, the bitterness of dentistry is known to whoever sees it.

It was He Kuang who was "click, click, click" chewing the rice stalks, feeling that his mouth was blistered but refused to stop, and chuckled:

"How big is your face? You expect Chuan to peel chestnuts for you, hahaha…"

Qin Yun hummed: "He peeled them for Song Tan, very attentive, I am a brother, why is he still partial?"

Thinking about it, he suddenly smiled badly, leaned on the railing again and took a "click" photo of the two people standing below, and then sent it to Lu Jing:

"Auntie, look how well they match standing together!"

Lu Jing was just about to take a photo when she saw the news, and her heart was startled!

Taking advantage of Lu Chuan also standing by her side waiting to take a photo, she quickly whispered:

"Chuan, you must not fall in love with Tan Tan now!"

Before, she had thought it through wrong, always feeling that her son was quite good, and if he could be with Tan Tan, she could openly stay here.

But just now, while applying makeup for Until Wu Lan, she realized—

Among young people today, who has the patience to live with their mother-in-law day and night before they're even married? And what would it look like for her to stay here? Wouldn't that be taking advantage of the girl's side before they've even started a family?

Thinking of this, Lu Jing nervously emphasized again: "Xiao Chuan, you're not that old yet; there's no rush to find a partner. You and Tan Tan must not rush into dating!"

Coincidentally, Song Tan was also pushed over to stand there, and Lu Jing hurriedly shut her mouth. Looking at Song Tan's fair side profile at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a wave of regret—

Although they aren't rushing to date now, after she stays for a while and everyone gets along, could it happen then?

Who knew that as soon as this thought crossed her mind, she suddenly heard Qiao Qiao, who had stopped in front, ask curiously:

"Why?"

The young man had an exceptionally innocent look in his eyes, asking an even more innocent question:

"Why aren't the pretty brother and sister in a rush to date?"
