Chapter 1173: The Eldest Cousin

The way the eldest aunt's family thought really caught everyone off guard.

If you wanted to talk about efficiency, it was truly high.

But this marriage business...

"Isn't it a bit too rash?" Grandma asked hesitantly.

But Wu Lan thought about it and nodded at the eldest aunt: "Sister-in-law, I think this girl might be the one."

Why wouldn't she be?

With Zhu spiritual energy's daily stingy and eccentric ways, if that girl could still agree to date him, it proved she had her eyes on this guy for a long time!

Maybe she had liked him for quite a while.

Come to think of it, Zhu spiritual energy didn't smoke, gamble, or drink, he did all the housework, and he knew all sorts of skills just to save money... His job was stable too; wasn't he a pretty good guy for living a domestic life?

Now, about the durian thing...

However, just at that moment, a cluster of golden fluff suddenly sped past them!

Kiwis, grapes, pomelos, cherries...

The two sisters busied themselves and finally left the house carrying their baskets.

Exercising and saving money, the little family was also quite annoying!

Little Tian cried out in excitement—help! It didn't want to play with Little Orange at all!

Just as they were standing at the door chatting, they suddenly heard a car horn, and saw a strange new car at the entrance. Wu Lei poked his head out: "Zhu spiritual energy, why did you come so early?"

"Meow—"

It had to be said, watching fluffy little animals play together, one wouldn't feel bored even after watching for a whole day. Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, taking out his phone to snap a quick photo before realizing—

When Chen Yunyun mentioned this, Yun Duo didn't have much of an impression; she was too young. But she understood Chen Yunyun, and at this moment, she remained silent, squatting down to organize the things in the basket—

Bringing it home for a meal, confirming the relationship, and then going to visit her family after buying durians—it wouldn't look like they were coming empty-handed, and it wouldn't cost extra money.

"Sigh, you've never eaten any fine food. Finding a partner is simply despairing."

A stove was lit in the room, and everyone was playing on their phones in the warmth. It was the New Year, so no one was sick, and there were no eccentric relatives or her mother's nagging...

Opening her eyes at this moment, there was no confusion from a nap; instead, she felt refreshed, and her mind was exceptionally clear.

Everything is difficult.

In any case, she was very used to Zhu spiritual energy's appearance, so she nodded at this moment: "The dumplings you brought over earlier, I ate a big bowl this morning—why did you come so early?"

"Hiss—"

Wu Ling:...

The room fell silent, and after a long while, Song Song Sancheng stood up: "Well, spiritual energy, since you have a partner, let me pack some snacks for you to take back to her..."

So... was it because of Tan Tan that he felt more at ease here, and even slept better?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard a car horn outside.

Chen Yunyun also choked on her words.

"Otherwise, with so many people during the New Year, I'm afraid she'll be embarrassed."

"Don't be shy! I've already told them we'd drop by in the morning. Don't be so awkward."

Guo Dong quickly grabbed him: "No need, you're the head chef. The head chef doesn't need to do such trivial things. Conserve your energy; cooking a big meal at noon is the most important thing!"

This...

Wu Fang smiled: "We have it, we have it. Mom and my eldest brother have it too. But those won't be moved down; we'll take them when we leave."

She only felt that this was the way adults should relax; being alone was simply wonderful!

He tidied his clothes, hesitating for a moment as he looked at the suit he had worn in the morning. Recalling the shocked expressions of Qi Han and the others, even though he felt a bit embarrassed, he ultimately put it back on.

Just then, Wu Ling also leaned over to greet him: "It's my mom who's in a rush... Qi Han's boyfriend is here, and as soon as she saw the WeChat Moments, she dragged me up..."

Zhu spiritual energy thought for a moment and said seriously: "Coming early is right. You need to see more to raise your standards."

She had no talent, and her studies were mediocre. Those moving inspirations and ambitions that had once touched her heart were slowly worn away by cruel reality.

Actually, this didn't look much like the family she had imagined.

He moved the fruit down and then pointed to the back seat:

And at Chen Yunyun's house, she was also urging Yun Duo to leave:

The eldest aunt gritted her teeth—spend it if you have to! The girl was quite smart, knowing to start with the future children and health...

She didn't expect the in-laws to become generous from now on, but as long as they didn't complain and were used to spending money on her...

Lu Chuan was woken up by his alarm.

If you study, your heart can go out! If you study more, your heart can stay away from this place for a lifetime...

Getting up to wash, he suddenly felt a fluffy sensation at his feet.

Yun Duo didn't want to go even more: "These are all things I brought for you... I found many people to specifically pick good mushrooms. You can't buy these even if you want to eat them here."

The girl's situation was complicated; she knew that. But she couldn't ignore her because of that. What other people's daughters-in-law had, her daughter-in-law had to have too.

Lu Chuan stepped down the stairs and found that the person who said this looked at most seventy or eighty years old. How could their seniority be so high?

If she studied well enough and enough, in the future, she might be able to stop more men like her father...

"Besides, if the future really isn't going to be bad, then why did the Song family you talk about all return to the village?"

At this hour, the relatives should have almost all arrived.

"Are you going back to your hometown tomorrow or the day after? That's the stuff my mom prepared... Hurry up, if you scrub yourself two more times, my tattoo will be worn off."

Although the eldest aunt was stingy, she was well aware of her own family's stinginess. Since the girl was talking about fruit and meat, it was clear that no matter how others in the family ate, she had to live normally.

Old staff quarters, didn't every household have those trivial chores?

Was the top floor leaking? He knew a bit about waterproofing, and buying the materials himself wouldn't be too expensive...

Qi Han felt even prouder.

Yun Duo was very depressed: "When do people visit relatives during the New Year and ask such things... Sister, that school of mine is also very good. Don't worry so much about whether I study or not."

But it didn't matter: "Our Song Tan has such good skills; whatever she makes, I'm sure you'll love to eat. When Brother Zhang Yanping gets married, you'll definitely be the biggest contributor!"

Don't laugh at me for that anymore.

Wu Lan guessed that it was probably because although the girl liked the person, she couldn't stand the stinginess and wanted to use a slow, grinding effort to change him little by little.

As for whether being alone during the New Year would seem lonely or pitiful...

But Yun Duo was different from her; Yun Duo definitely had to study well.

But Yun Duo is the same as you; if Yun Duo wants to study, she must study properly.

"Mushrooms are not as important as your future—Yun Duo, I don't have as much education as you, but I know that in this life, if you can hear a piece of advice at a good time, it's better than anything."

"If it weren't for that poverty alleviation cadre who was so angry when talking to our dad, saying that we were just limited by our vision, and once we walked out of the mountains, our lives would be better than we could imagine..."

Zhu spiritual energy got out of the car, opening the trunk while saying: "My mom thinks you're too pitiful being alone, nagging every day at home, urging me... Sigh, actually, I think being alone is especially comfortable, right?"

That way, feelings wouldn't be hurt!

Good, good, good!

Qi Han heard this and felt a surge of heroism: "That's right! Now only I can hold up the kitchen! I must work hard—what does Guo Yi want to eat? I'll go check the vegetables."

It was really quite comfortable.

And Song Song Sancheng's movements stiffened.

Then he worked hard to perform well, fixing light bulbs and tightening water pipes for his father-in-law, tidying up tables and chairs, and even cleaning the house and washing curtains for them...

The eldest cousin planned silently in his heart, deciding to keep performing like this and strive to get married by the end of next year!

It was pretty good! Their spiritual energy probably wouldn't find anyone better than this in the future!

Hearing that the girl lived on the top floor, he could grit his teeth and spend a few hundred yuan to buy a booster pump to install, saving the trouble of unstable water pressure and unstable hot water while showering...

Qi Han felt even prouder.

Wu Lan smiled: "It's okay, I have a spare one."

Thinking about it this way, although Qi Han was pretty good, there was no rush to get married; let's date for three or five years first!

Qi Han remained calm; after all, she was professionally trained in medicine. As long as she was bold, there were a hundred ways to deal with... cough, cough, cough.

Wu Lan was still steadily scrolling through her phone in her clinic.

Turning around, he nimbly got out of the car, his expression deep and his eyes fierce. He didn't look like he was going to see his girlfriend, but rather like he wanted to step on the gas and run someone over.

"Good, good, good!" Qi Han replied, while urging him: "Don't just stand there! I've already agreed with Guo Yi that she's coming here today. Go pick her up!"

"No."

And as the family chatted, they heard another car sound outside. This time, it was the family of the second aunt, Wu Fang.

But that day, the other party stood in front of her father and didn't let him take her away, saying things in such a set way, but it made her feel for a moment that studying was so important!

Anyway, whatever was popular in the market now, they moved it, moving Song Qiao Song Qiao to keep refusing: "I've already told Zhang Yanping, don't bring things, don't bring things..."

Qi Han looked: "Okay, I'll go right now."

It was good that the Song family was used to it. Seeing him drive, they didn't forget to urge him: "Ask what Guo Yi wants to eat at noon? Does she eat strawberries? If she does, you two go pick them yourselves."

Zhu spiritual energy looked at the time; it was only past four. He couldn't help but be puzzled: "You came so late... why did everyone come so early?"

But looking at his bachelor son...

Qi Han was still that lazy self, just that he hadn't seen her for a few days and was visibly haggard. Clearly, staying at home wasn't as comfortable as being here with Guo Dong—

So much so that she sat steadily in her chair, only feeling that life was so beautiful.

She wanted everyone to know that Gong Gong Xinzhi had problems, but that didn't mean everyone else's partner was perfect!

Before going to sleep, she was afraid she would oversleep, and since Qi Han wouldn't come to call her, she specifically set her alarm for 10 o'clock.

That cadre spoke in a very set way and was especially particular about rules. We originally took it as a joke when he came to the village to handle affairs.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

Hadn't life been pretty good before?

"That's none of my business."

There wasn't, absolutely not!

Song Tan looked at her lively family and took the initiative to pick up a basket: "I'll go pick strawberries for Brother Zhang Yanping."

He looked down and saw a fat, sturdy Little Orange wandering around his feet, meowing coquettishly.

Even Grandma sighed silently—with this child like this, it's good enough that there's a girl willing to date him.

"Little niece, I'll leave it to you, Auntie."

Zhang Zhang Yanping held his large water bottle and waved his hand: "Uncle, there's no rush. It's not appropriate to confirm the relationship during the New Year. I still have to visit and give gifts, which costs money... Wait until after the New Year when I go to work! Then I'll invite her to come home and eat with me!"

That way, when visiting the father-in-law after the New Year, they would be family, and sending some good things wouldn't hurt his heart!

Guo Dong didn't know either.

"Second Aunt, Happy New Year!"

"I sell fruit every day; what does it matter if my own family can't eat it? The fruit varieties were all picked by Zhu spiritual energy; they're delicious!"

Their car was a small van, convenient for hauling goods. Just as the car stopped, before they could even exchange pleasantries, the second uncle opened the trunk and started hugging boxes of fruit out one by one.

And then, walking down the stairs, just as they reached the corner of the first floor, they heard a strange, young female voice saying:

The second aunt also said "Oh my": "Yes, Zhang Yanping, hurry up. Those boxes over there are for me, and the cigarettes and alcohol gifts piled in the back seat are for you to take when you follow me home in the next two days..."

Chen Yunyun's expression was very serious: "You know the learning conditions on our side. Even with that, you were able to get into college, proving you have the talent for studying. Since you have it, study well. Your future won't be bad."

She was only seventeen or eighteen at the time, and her father was ready to trade her for a motorcycle; the deal was already negotiated. That poverty alleviation cadre led people over several mountains and stopped them at the house.

In that instant, the fat, sturdy Little Orange, which had been squinting its eyes in enjoyment, leaped with an agility and speed completely inconsistent with its size, firmly pinning the golden lucky bag under itself.

Ah! Time to go downstairs!

He made a series of plans in his heart and was full of confidence.

And the next moment, everyone in the first-floor living room heard the movement and looked over.

After a long while, she sighed: "I don't know how to explain it, but you have to go. They have skills, and listening to them more will always be good for you—Go! Take that basket of things with you."

Dating a partner who can't be shown in public, and you're still going to be nailed to the pillar of shame, right? ===== CHAPTER 1174 =====

I made a series of plans in my heart, and thus I was full of confidence.

……

At that moment, the young men in the first-floor living room heard the commotion, so they all looked over.

After a long while, you sighed: "You know how to talk about it; anyway, he has to go. Since others don't have the ability, it's always good for him to listen more—go! Take this basket of things with you."

You talked about a boyfriend who couldn't be shown in public, and you're still going to be nailed to the pillar of shame for it, right?
