Chapter 1160

Everyone seemed very happy.

Wu Ling sat by the stove, absentmindedly picking at a chestnut, watching Gong Xinzhi chat enthusiastically with the relatives, his face beaming. At this moment, with gestures and data, he had built a commercial empire in his words in no time at all...

He seemed very capable.

But... why was she the only one not happy?

But she couldn't say exactly where it was. She just felt that after coming back, she had developed an inexplicable sense of comparison, and she actually felt that her boyfriend was bad at this and didn't do that right, even his current bragging...

Look! She even felt in her heart that the other party was "bragging"!

Wu Ling shook her head silently, but the shadow cast over her heart couldn't be dispelled for a while. After thinking it over, she turned and went into the kitchen to find Qiao Qiao.

Her unreliable brother was single-mindedly focused on the cattle and sheep and had run off long ago. Song Tan seemed to have a lot of social experience, but...

Lingling felt that it was only after listening to her that she had inexplicably developed a sense of comparison. This wasn't good; she wasn't with Gong Xinzhi because of his conditions or anything like that; she just wanted to find the kind of sincere and simple love her parents had.

The eldest aunt, who was busy preparing various gifts for Wu Lan, sneezed violently.

Emmm...

At the time, she was just moved, and she hadn't thought carefully about the sesame leaves Gong Xinzhi said he bought overnight, but at that moment, she figured it was all an autumn affair, and the sesame was about to be harvested.

That's right, why did Gong Xinzhi bring gifts?

I curled my lips happily: "You wanted to date too, but Brother said you aren't old enough yet and need to study first, so you're just memorizing knowledge now."

Song Tan was speechless for a moment: "Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, in this world, only your Brother Lu Chuan is the peerless good man..."

"When Sister wants to eat, Brother Lu Chuan always peels them, and even soaks them before handing them over—I saw it with my own eyes."

"So if Sister Lingling's taste is like that, I can be tolerant too! The Secretary Sister's grandfather said he loved eating stinky mandarin fish when he was young!"

Your mother clearly used to say often that "a pretty face can't be eaten as a meal"!

"Brother, Sister Lingling wants to eat chestnuts."

But the smile had just hung on the corner of her mouth when the whole person realized—

Subconsciously, Gong Xinzhi put the chestnut back into Song Tan's hand: "Look at you, I'm chatting about future plans here, why are you bringing Wu Ling over to cause trouble... Come, the chestnuts are on this table, if you want to eat, take them yourself. I'm not eating."

Wu Ling sighed: "He doesn't even peel chestnuts for you... Hmph!"

Wu Ling, however, had already started counting on her fingers: "He always walks in front and doesn't look at Sister Lingling. That's not the same as Brother Lu Chuan at all; he always looks at Sister!"

Gong Xinzhi was just a bit ordinary-looking, how was that embarrassing?

While speaking, her fingers subconsciously picked at the crisp chestnut, and when seen by Shen Gu, it was another "Oh my":

The rice had just been cooked in the pot, so there was no rush to cook. Wu Ling washed her hands and took her to the room next door to warm up by the fire:

"It's alright, just a little bit."

She left after saying that, leaving Song Tan alone in the kitchen, feeling lost.

"I'm not being tolerant of him." Shen Gu was very surprised: "I'm being tolerant of you, Sister Lingling! Your taste is like that, so it's only right that I be tolerant for a bit, isn't it?"

"Come, I'll teach you!"

"It just so happens that Teacher Xin has gone home to accumulate experience."

"Don't worry, as long as you work a little harder, be a little more obedient, and find a higher-paying job after graduation, and then take the civil service exam or get a position—oh, it's best not to be in the township, it's embarrassing to say, it has to be in the city."

Even though Song Tan's mood was complex, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment: "You have money? How much money could you have?"

But this matter was too groundbreaking for her imagination. After pondering for a long time, the more she pondered, the more her heart surged. Song Tan interrupted her thoughts with difficulty and hurriedly pulled the topic back:

Song Tan shook her head: "Your skills are so good, who would want to eat what he makes? But why are there still sesame leaves when it's almost the New Year?"

After a long while, she spoke stutteringly, her voice so low it was unlike her: "You, you're talking nonsense. How many sentences have you even chatted? How could Gong Xinzhi talk about those things? I haven't even graduated yet, and his mother chats with me often and has never said anything like that."

What's wrong? I'm dating an ordinary boyfriend, why do I need to be tolerated and insulted?

Her original intention was to show off a bit, but Wu Ling didn't understand at all, and at this moment pointed to the empty stove next to her: "Then let him do it! There are sesame leaves at home too."

In short, it was just saying that the metaphor wasn't reasonable, and Shen Gu's "tolerance" made her feel very stifled.

She silently emphasized in her heart, deciding to clear her boyfriend's name later!

"Of course it is!" Shen Gu said righteously: "Brother said that being a sister's boyfriend is about making her life easier and more interesting than living alone, that's the only way a boyfriend has meaning."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Wu Ling take the chestnut from her hand and then walk directly to Gong Xinzhi, who was chatting with the relatives:

Song Tan twitched the corner of her mouth, just about to say something to cover it up, when she heard Wu Ling say happily: "I'm comforting Sister Lingling! I'm not afraid of her being embarrassed! Sister, don't be afraid either!"

Does a boyfriend have to be rich, capable, and good-looking?

Sister had instructed in the morning that the rice noodles should be made a little less than the amount for three people, so that she could observe the details.

Then she rushed to deliver them before the dormitory lights went out, making the girls in the dormitory exclaim in surprise.

"Sigh, what's so good about looking at a phone? If I didn't say it, I didn't say it, no big deal. Don't worry, the eldest aunt said, as long as you like him yourself, any kind is fine."

Song Tan wasn't interested in this "Teacher Xin" at all; she just asked in surprise: "Eight million? Did you say it wrong, eight million?"

Wu Ling shook her head, looking sympathetic: "That's because Wu Ling has grown herself and knows how to be considerate of others. Sister said that some people's tastes are very unique, they just like things that others think are bad... Sister Lingling, you're unique!"

Wu Ling calculated: "About eight million, I'm not sure exactly how much. Sister said that after the New Year, when Teacher Xin comes, she'll teach me how to balance the accounts."

"Otherwise, why date? To waste life?"

"Song Tan, don't worry, we'll explain it to the relatives."

Aunt Lianhua on the side widened her eyes, and Wu Ling was even more half-understanding, listening without blinking.

Song Tan was amused: "Oh my, then do I have to bring gifts when I come to play at your place?"

"He didn't bring gifts when he came to my house... Teacher Xin taught me that the first time you visit someone else's house, if there are elders present, unless it's a matter of life and death, you must buy something if you can... I also buy things when I go to play at a friend's house."

Wu Ling gestured: "Originally there were many, many things I didn't like. He doesn't take care of Sister Lingling, doesn't talk to me seriously, doesn't like me, and still brags about doing business... Hmph! Sister said that poor men are the best at bragging, and he doesn't even have as much money as I do!"

Qiao Qiao laid out the conditions in one breath, and at this moment, looking at Song Tan again, he couldn't help but nod in agreement: "You are very hardworking in everything you do, and quite persistent. If you prepare for the civil service exam for two or three years, you should be able to pass."

She struggled, and at this moment subconsciously asked: "Shen Gu, do you not like Gong Xinzhi?"

Song Tan couldn't even speak now.

As for the ones grown at home... that's impossible, he doesn't have land, and he cooked it with an electric pot in the dormitory, so he couldn't have brought that from home, right?

Embarrassing? Where was it embarrassing?

"Sister Lingling, you're so stupid! You don't even know how to eat chestnuts."

"Wu Ling, you just said that originally there were many things you didn't like, is it because he performed better later that you feel he's a little bit better now?"

Gong Xinzhi was stunned for a moment, and Song Tan was also stunned.

He was very solemn: "Teacher Xin taught me that as long as other people's hobbies aren't criminal or illegal, I can't point fingers."

Actually, it was only occasionally, not always walking in front. Most of the time we were still holding hands!

He looked at Shen Gu sympathetically: "Sister Lingling, if you like him, then like him, I'm not afraid of you being embarrassed."

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment, and recalled carefully, it seems there wasn't, right? When dating, the two of them walked hand in hand, then put their arms around each other's waists, and then later...

His words were childish, but they sounded like a mix of five flavors in Song Tan's heart. After all, not to mention character and conditions, just purely peeling a chestnut... how could Gong Xinzhi still be dragging his feet?

Clearly Shen Gu's voice was innocent and happy, and the kitchen was steaming with fragrance, but while she felt greedy, her heart was still fluttering.

Not to mention comparing her own boyfriend to stinky mandarin fish—what kind of thing is that? How stinky is it?

She hurriedly took out her phone, trying to find the chat history to prove her powerful rebuttal, but Qiao Qiao just blinked, lightly and carelessly:

"Wu Ling, why did you give your chestnut to Gong Xinzhi?"

Coming to Wu Ling's house was too hasty, and there was no time to prepare, which she could understand. But the matter of returning to his own home for the New Year was clearly planned a long time ago, and even his father and mother had greeted them in a video call and said polite things...

Wu Ling was very strange: "Don't you want to eat? This chestnut shell is very hard to peel, and it's very hard to bite, it needs to be soaked in hot water."

In the middle of the night, where did he buy sesame leaves? The vegetable market couldn't even open its doors.

You have the ability to point out his shortcomings directly!

"Giving birth to a child is even less to worry about, it's so simple! Gong Xinzhi's mother said she has seen your photos, you have a large pelvis, it's easy to give birth, no problem! You even have the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme! You don't even have to fear a C-section!"

Then he turned his head to look at Shen Gu, with a face full of "you're so stupid": "Look, you'll be able to eat it in a while."

"By the way, don't apply to every unit or department, pick the kind with higher wages and more holidays, which is convenient for taking care of the children later."

Song Tan's earlobes turned red, and she was so ashamed and annoyed that she almost couldn't stay there.

"Not at all."

Her words were sonorous and powerful, as if it were Gong Xinzhi's mother issuing an offer on the spot:

Various doubts gathered in her heart, Song Tan twitched the corner of her mouth, and couldn't even laugh.

"And oh, he always serves you first when eating in the morning! Clearly you were still standing there, and he had already started eating. And when serving the second bowl, he didn't even ask you..."

He observed for a whole morning and learned so much.

Why did no one mention preparing gifts?

Shen Gu held that ordinary chestnut, always feeling that something was wrong.

Song Tan laughed: "He really can! Once I wanted to eat sesame leaf noodles, he made me a bowl himself."

Song Tan recalled the last few dates, it seems... probably...

Her heart instantly felt painful.

"If you really can't buy it, don't just stand there stupidly, you have to say polite things when you arrive—Sister Lingling, I can say quite a few polite things, do you want to hear them?"

Why didn't Qiao Qiao even look?

"But don't have too much pressure, I asked, Gong Xinzhi's mother said you are the girlfriend she is most satisfied with."

However, Wu Ling was still counting:

She struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Then thank you—what do you think Gong Xinzhi wants you to tolerate?"

Wu Lan's shoulders even slumped.

After a long while, Song Tan cleared her throat: "That, Wu Ling, what do you think Gong Xinzhi is not good enough at, that would lower your standards?"

"Sigh! It's nothing! Song Tan, don't listen to Wu Ling, he hasn't dated either—I just asked, you are the girlfriend Gong Xinzhi's mother is most satisfied with."

Seeing Wu Ling come over, he was also curious: "Sister Lingling, why did you come over? Are you hungry? Then I can share a stove for your boyfriend, let him make you something to eat first."

Just at that moment, Qiao Qiao also came over:

"Hey, Song Tan, what are you doing here?"

But isn't that exactly what makes people go crazy!

Song Tan's mindset was a bit chaotic.

Song Tan:???

Only Song Tan's brain at this moment seemed to have a cat rolling a ball of yarn, rolling her mood into a mess.

Of course, outsiders might not understand his goodness, but as a girlfriend, you can always understand his inner excellence, but he doesn't say anything and just says to tolerate you...

"No," Aunt Lianhua, who had been silent, spoke up: "Wu Ling's live streaming fans have exceeded one million, that's the signing fee given by the platform... Lingling, don't say anything about this. Your boyfriend can't say it either. Otherwise, if Wu Ling's situation gets out, what if someone has evil intentions?"

It's just that the taste is quite ordinary.

Song Tan's face instantly turned red, hot and spicy, but her heart was cold.

Shen Gu thought for a moment and said earnestly: "Probably because it's embarrassing to take this brother out."

Shen Gu still knew the gravity of the situation, and at this moment closed her mouth, pressing all the thumping shock back into her heart: "Hmm, I won't say!"

"Frozen in the summer." Shen Gu said as a matter of course: "Does your boyfriend's family grow sesame too?"

I don't know why, but when these words were said, everyone in the Song family looked over, and their eyes were quite complex.

After a long while, she numbly flipped through her phone again, unwilling to give up: "Aunt really didn't say that, I can show you the chat history..."

"After all, you also know that children's education is too competitive now. Our family only has Gong Xinzhi as a boy, you have to give birth to at least two to be safe."

She thought for a moment and turned to find Wu Ling.

Then she returned to the kitchen gracefully.

And outside the kitchen, Aunt Lianhua was filling the fire in front of the stove, Qiao Qiao was cutting vegetables slowly, and the timing was handled with ease.

Song Tan instantly became happy: "I know how to eat, it's just that I'm too lazy to gnaw, so I'll take it to kill time—"
