Chapter 168: What right does my wife have to cook for you? Just

At this moment, everyone in the room had a face full of question marks.

This...

What kind of joke is this?!!!

The person who just stood up to introduce themselves had no shortage of various award certificates and various titles of outstanding individuals.

As a result...

As a result, the leader picked someone who is good for nothing?!!!

And they even like being simple and unadorned?!!!

Everyone had a face full of question marks.

Suddenly, everyone felt as if they had been played—what's going on?

These people were speechless, and Lu Yuan was also helpless!

Who would have thought that my third condition—having a mole on the face—could attract so many people?

Lu Yuan felt this wasn't his problem.

On Earth, a Teacher Zhang once said this.

When you were in college and went to a job fair, you saw a job position with extremely generous benefits, but they were only hiring one person.

Then don't waste time applying.

Because unless your ancestral grave was struck by lightning and also caught fire.

Otherwise, this position definitely isn't yours.

And at this moment, the third uncle finally figured out what was going on.

The smile on their face could hardly be held back.

There's nothing to be done...

Really, there's nothing to be done...

Although you all are better than me, more capable than me... in front of you I am nothing...

But...

But I can't help it—I have a good son-in-law, and you don't!

Immediately, Lu Yuan didn't hesitate either; he was starving—this hesitation had already almost reached 2 PM, if he didn't go to the cafeteria to eat, there'd be nothing left.

Lu Yuan stood up directly, walking toward the door while looking at Lin Fusheng's assistant and saying:

"Brother, take him to handle the procedures; as for the rest, just help arrange it, brother—I'm going to eat first."

Having said that, Lu Yuan directly opened the door and left.

Leaving only Lin Fusheng's assistant, mouth agape, and the others.

This??

After Lu Yuan sprinted a hundred meters to the cafeteria and finished eating, he then prepared to go home.

This morning, after coming, Lu Yuan had already gone to check the greenhouse.

Today there's no need to look again.

Moreover, this is now a new round of breeding.

Replanting just requires recording the temperature; nothing else is busy at all.

Hmm... actually, even when the potatoes sprout later, it's not considered busy.

However, it's just that Lu Yuan wants to slack off, plus he wants to bring the third uncle to the city, so he arranged this.

Now there's nothing to do, so just go home.

In a couple of days, just let the third uncle handle recording the temperature and such.

After all, this just requires writing a few numbers.

No need to learn anything else.

After a while, when the potatoes sprout and we need to write something else, the third uncle will have learned about the same.

Tomorrow I'll bring the third uncle to learn how to record the temperature and such.

The day after tomorrow, Lu Yuan won't need to come.

Wait until they sprout, then Lu Yuan will come back to give a little lesson.

After Lu Yuan left the cafeteria, he saw the third uncle following Lin Fusheng's assistant around, running between departments to handle the onboarding procedures.

Upon seeing the third uncle, Lu Yuan didn't call out to him, just smiled and said:

"Just follow him for now, first learn to write, recognize characters and such; I'll come teach you tomorrow, and I'm heading back now."

The third uncle nodded repeatedly.

Subsequently, Lu Yuan then rode off on his horse.

Heading home.

When Lu Yuan returned to the Siheyuan, he happened to see Wang Yulan using the washing machine.

"Yo, you're still learning to wash clothes?"

Lu Yuan, while tying up the horse, said with a chuckle:

Wang Yulan turned around, saw that Lu Yuan had returned, and immediately also smiled, pursing her lips, and said:

"Brother Lu~"

After Lu Yuan tied up the horse, he walked over to Wang Yulan with a smile and said:

"Can you use it? Brother, let me teach you?"

Wang Yulan then smiled and shook her head, saying:

No need~ My husband taught me this morning, this thing is simple, you get it at a glance, Brother Lu Yuan, you made this thing really awesome.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then before he could say anything.

But then a noise came from behind him:

"When have you been using it?!"

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Kou Yang coming with a big basin of clothes.

The Kou family has no women, so washing clothes and such naturally falls to Kou Yang.

At this time, Kou Yang just happened to come back from the restaurant to rest.

Wang Yulan in this courtyard is always pleasant with everyone, she has a good nature.

But with Kou Yang, she's not so good.

No way, it's because Kou Yang bad-mouthed Brother Lu Yuan during the New Year.

Wang Yulan loses her temper whenever she sees Kou Yang.

Seeing Kou Yang come, Wang Yulan lifted her chin in annoyance and said:

"Just wait, I just started washing!"

Kou Yang pursed his lips, just about to say something.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something, hurried over to Kou Yang's side, and asked curiously in a low voice.

"How did that thing I told you about last time go? Did your dad agree?"

Kou Yang was stunned, then said somewhat speechlessly.

"No…… my dad didn't agree…… said I'm too young……"

Lu Yuan blinked, then wore a strange expression.

"Then we still have Plan B, right?"

Kou Yang looked at Lu Yuan with a confused expression.

"What Plan B?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"It's Plan B…… no…… I mean, I told you to go find a matchmaker and look for one yourself, have you done it?"

Kou Yang was stunned, then hurriedly nodded and said:

"I have…… this morning I just looked at the first one……"

Lu Yuan was stunned, looked at Kou Yang's current expression, then wore a strange expression.

"What's up, not satisfied with the first one?"

Kou Yang then pursed his lips and said:

"Compared to my Sister Su, she's far worse—looks different, seems stupid, not good at housework, I didn't take a liking to her."

Lu Yuan: "????"

No, you damn well, when you marry a wife, you follow my wife's standards?

So you're not planning to marry a wife in this lifetime, right?

Lu Yuan said somewhat speechlessly.

"No, when you look for a wife, you should follow the image of the wife you have in your heart, don't follow my wife."

Kou Yang blinked and said:

"The perfect wife in my heart is exactly like Sister Su."

"I will definitely look for someone like Sister Su."

"I don't need them to be identical, but I should at least follow the gourd to make a ladle, right?"

Lu Yuan: "???"

You damn it!

Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Wang Yulan, who was washing clothes on the side and eavesdropping, gave a disdainful look and said:

"You still want to find someone like Sister Su? Do you think you're worthy?"

"Someone like Sister Su would definitely marry someone like Brother Lu Yuan; why would she marry you?"

Lu Yuan deeply agreed.

Or rather, Little Yulan speaks pleasantly.

And Kou Yang was stunned, then gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and said:

"Hey, whether it's your business or not, go wash your clothes!"

Wang Yulan immediately retorted:

"What's up, you're not my husband, what right do you have to boss me around?"

Kou Yang had no way with Wang Yulan, couldn't be bothered to talk to her.

And Lu Yuan patted Kou Yang's shoulder and said:

"Blind dating, you gotta go on several dates."

"Who finds love at first sight on the first try?"

Put in more effort, bro, I'm heading home.

As long as Kou Yang is willing to go find a matchmaker, that's enough.

Sooner or later, one day even a toad will take a liking to the green bean.

After returning home, Lu Yuan checked the time; it was almost four.

In another hour and a half, his wife will be back; he plans to take a nap.

However, outside things are a bit restless.

Wang Yulan and Kou Yang were still arguing noisily.

Kou Yang complained that Wang Yulan's washing machine spun slowly, and Wang Yulan simply made Kou Yang wait.

Because of their arguing, Lu Yuan also couldn't sleep.

He immediately got up, intending to say a few words to them.

When Lu Yuan opened the door and took a look, he raised an eyebrow—Kou Yang was turning the washing machine for Wang Yulan.

"Yo, how did he end up turning it?"

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Yulan, somewhat amused, and said.

Wang Yulan, smiling, looked toward Lu Yuan and said.

"He did it willingly~"

"Willingly?"

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Kou Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"How could I not be unwilling? After you finish loafing around here, then I do the washing—I might not even get to sleep!!"

And Wang Yulan immediately replied in a coquettish voice.

"That's also your own willingness—who made you come late!"

Lu Yuan glanced at the scene before him, found it amusing, shook his head, didn't bother with them, and directly looked at Wang Yulan and said.

"Come in, sis—it's freezing outside; I have chestnut cake at my place for you to eat."

The chestnut cake Gu Qingwan made last time she came to Lu Yuan's house hasn't been finished yet.

Wang Yulan was taken aback, then smiled and nodded, saying.

"Okay, Big Brother Lu."

As she followed Lu Yuan inside, Wang Yulan didn't forget to glance at Kou Yang, raising her eyebrows and saying.

"You'd better not give me fewer rounds—wash it properly!"

Kou Yang couldn't be bothered to deal with Wang Yulan.

At around half past five, soon to be six, Su Liyan returned.

Su Liyan didn't return on her own; she came back together with her second uncle, third uncle, Su Changyu, and the Su Clan people.

That evening, after Su Liyan got off work at the threshing machine factory.

She just happened to see her second uncle, third uncle, and others there.

So they returned together.

The third uncle had taken things from home; since they hadn't been delivered yet, he brought them along.

Speaking of which, aside from Su Changliang, no one in the Su Clan knew where Lu Yuan and Su Liyan lived in that siheyuan.

Su Liyan leading a group of outsiders back actually prompted the people inside the siheyuan to come out and inquire.

Su Liyan was smiling as she introduced them to the people in the courtyard.

Seeing the Su Clan members come to Lu Yuan's house, also bringing a big bundle of stuff and a chicken.

Everyone inwardly spat.

Lu Yuan was in for another treat!

This really is squeezing Su Liyan's natal family dry—with grain rationing, city folk have it rough, and villagers have it even worse.

Even so, they still bring food for Lu Yuan?

Moreover… the timing of their arrival is off!

During this grain‑control period, only Lu Yuan's household gets to eat well and drink heartily every day!

Why didn't the Su Clan come when Su Liyan first moved in, when they were eating steamed cornbread every day?

Now it's fine.

Who knows how Lu Yuan will coax Su Liyan's natal family again!

After Su Liyan had ushered everyone inside and hadn't said anything yet, there was the sound of bicycles stopping outside.

Everyone turned to look and saw Su Changliang walking in, hehe‑laughing, and saying.

"Brother‑in‑law!"

Since the third uncle came today, he naturally also notified Su Changliang together.

So everyone will have a meal together at home tonight, drink a little liquor, and be lively.

With the second uncle and Changyu as the two cooks for tonight's meal, there's naturally no need for Su Liyan to cook.

Su Liyan is the hostess of the household, and she's pouring hot water for everyone.

Everyone pulled out the table against the wall in the main hall, sat around it, and placed on it plenty of mountain goods the third uncle had brought from home.

There were walnuts, peanuts—really, they didn't bring little; it's estimated they took out almost everything from home.

"Changliang, go pour water."

Lu Yuan pulled over a stool and had his wife sit down.

Su Changliang's visit to Lu Yuan's home was unceremonious.

Unlike Su Changyu.

After all, Su Changyu is Su Liyan's paternal cousin.

There's still a layer of relation between them.

Su Changyu's visit to Lu Yuan's home is still somewhat restrained.

Su Changliang, however, is different—Su Liyan is his biological sister, and Lu Yuan is his brother‑in‑law.

After arriving, he just sat down and started grabbing peanuts to eat.

Of course, Lu Yuan also wasn't polite to Su Changliang; after speaking, he kicked him.

This is my own little brother-in-law; just beat him up.

Su Changliang, who had been kicked by Lu Yuan, didn't dare say anything to his brother-in-law; he only glanced at his sister.

At this moment, Su Liyan wrapped both arms around her man's arm and pressed her body against him.

He looked at Su Changliang with a proud expression, even raising his clenched little fist.

Su Liyan's meaning is… how about this? You don't listen to your older sister's words, yet you dare not listen to your brother-in-law's?

I'll have your brother-in-law beat you~

Su Changliang got up with a black line on his face, muttered after relying on power to bully others, then picked up a water cup and began pouring water while turning in circles.

Meanwhile, the second and third uncles watched this scene with squinting smiles.

Lu Yuan took a sip of hot water, then looked at the third uncle and said:

"Third uncle, did you finish everything today?"

"The third uncle also nodded repeatedly and said:"

"It's all done, son-in-law; I'll go learn culture tomorrow morning."

Lu Yuan nodded and said:

"Is everything still okay at home?"

"Speaking of this, the third uncle also smiled and said:"

"It's all thanks to you, son-in-law; that day we let Changliang ride the bike back to deliver news, and we went ahead and stockpiled some grain."

"Now our Su Clan in Qiu Qiu Village can eat good things."

"Su Changliang, who was pouring water nearby, said somewhat proudly:"

"After my brother-in-law told me that, I zoomed home on the bike, stood up and pedaled—the chain almost came off from my pedaling."

"Su Changliang's words caused everyone to burst into laughter."

"And Su Liyan sweetly leaned against her man's shoulder."

"My heart is so proud it's indescribable."

"My man is definitely the most capable person in the world~"

"After the people chatted a while longer, the second uncle, third uncle, and Changyu went together to wash vegetables and cook."

"Lu Yuan then held his wife, looked at Su Changliang who was just sitting there eating peanuts, and laughed:"

"You didn't buy anything for yourself?"

Su Changliang was taken aback, then shook his head and said:

"No, by the time I got home it was already past nine; I was tired, so I went to sleep, and the next day I didn't bother going out."

Lu Yuan nodded and then said:

"When you go back tonight, send a hundred jin via cart to Wang Ping—his family is large, so you don't need to take any for your dorm."

"Whenever you want to eat something good, just come over and make something yourself."

Su Changliang blinked and said:

"Why isn't my sister making it for me?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, gave Su Changliang a kick and said:

"What, you didn't know your sister is pregnant?"

"Besides, what right does my wife have to cook for you?"

Su Liyan beside them also smiled sweetly and chimed in:

"Exactly, exactly~ I'm the Lu Family's daughter-in-law~ letting you come here to eat is already good enough~"

"And you still want me to cook for you? You're dreaming—I only cook for my man~"

While everyone was chatting and laughing,

Lu Yuan suddenly froze, then stared blankly out the window.

What are those?

Sky-Lifting Guard!

Lu Yuan even thought his eyes were playing tricks—how could the Sky-Lifting Guard appear in his own courtyard?

Come to find him?

While Lu Yuan stood there bewildered, this squad of Sky-Lifting Guards marched straight toward Pang Kaige's house.

Lu Yuan hurriedly got up, opened the door, and waited outside.

He saw Pang Kaige and Wang Yulan being dragged out by that squad of Sky-Lifting Guards.

This show of force…… is it to raid the house?!
