Chapter 356: Hey, many excellent single military officers are already taken

At four-something in the afternoon, Pei Yao returned to her sister's house carrying two freshwater fish whose names she couldn't call out.

She had said goodbye to Xiao Hai at the entrance of the military region; tomorrow, the other party would take her to another place to play.

"Grandfather, I'm back!"

At this time, people who went to work hadn't returned yet.

In the courtyard, there were only two elders and a young girl helping to take care of the babies.

"Yaoyao is back, come and drink some water. This is Amei, helping us share the pressure of taking care of the babies."

Old Master Pei simply introduced the two, then his gaze fell on the fish in his granddaughter's hand, and he asked suspiciously:

"You went to the reservoir to fish?"

"Yeah, that's right. I also met a few old gentlemen; they, they were very enthusiastic."

Pei Yao had originally wanted to show off, but thought better of it.

That group of old gentlemen had retired and probably didn't want to be disturbed.

And Xiao Hai said they often came to Sister Shen Man's house, so maybe they already knew her grandfather.

Better not show off; if it was a case of "the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple" (a misunderstanding among family), it would be embarrassing for her.

"Alright, you rest for a while. These two fish are freshwater fish; I'll go gut them, and we'll add a dish to the table tonight..."

Old Master Pei knew what was going on when he heard his granddaughter mention a few old gentlemen and that they were enthusiastic.

Besides Old Lin and the others, who else could it be?

"Grandpa Pei, let me handle it."

Amei had changed the diapers for the little ones, and the four diapers in her hand also needed to be washed.

The fish was to be eaten, so she could kill the fish first, process it clean, and then wash the diapers.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Amei."

Old Master Pei saw Amei's firm attitude and gave up his insistence.

The two swapped positions, and he took over for Amei, watching the children crawling around on the straw mat.

"Grandfather, I went around the Sea Island today and finally understood why you didn't return to the Capital and wanted to stay here to retire."

Pei Yao nodded slightly to Amei; after all, they weren't familiar, so she didn't make much small talk.

After the other party went to the water well, she pulled a small stool from the side and sat opposite her grandfather, with the posture of "I want to have a good chat with you."

"How was your play today? If you've had enough, you should go back."

Old Master Pei looked like he didn't want to talk much; it was obvious he didn't want to chat with his granddaughter.

"Grandfather!"

Pei Yao was angry, glaring at her grandfather, just like when she was a child, grabbing her grandfather's arm and shaking it.

"Oh my, stop shaking, I'm already a pile of old bones, I can't take your shaking."

Old Master Pei sighed and begged for mercy, thinking that both the big and small ones were debt collectors.

"Grandfather, are you being biased? You didn't treat me like this before."

Pei Yao said unhappily. Her entire childhood and teenage years were spent growing up by her grandfather's side. A child who had received pampering and favoritism would always be a bit unreasonable.

In these two years, oh, it shouldn't be said, in these five or six years, her sister first took the military medical exam and chased her love to the Sea Island, not coming home for three years, and then her grandfather retired and came to the Sea Island to rely on her sister, not coming home for another two years!

Heaven knows she could only live in the dormitory assigned by her unit when she rested; there was no one at home, and her parents were researching their academic stuff all day long, living at the school and not coming home at all!

She didn't dare to stay in the family courtyard for too long by herself, because those neighbors and aunts were always trying to find ways to introduce her to partners, as if she had no other use besides getting married.

And what was the situation this year?

It was as if she was already very old, and if she couldn't find a partner now, she wouldn't be able to find one!

Although she was a "womb-to-now" single person who had never dated or liked anyone, she didn't want to settle!

So, whether it was said she was avoiding it or she wanted peace and quiet, anyway, she took her saved vacation and specifically came to the Sea Island to find her grandfather and sister, wanting to gain strength from them and wanting them to help her come up with ideas.

Yesterday, when she said she wanted Manman's husband to help her look for a single military officer, it couldn't be said to be completely joking.

Excellent people hang out with excellent people; according to this law, if Manman's husband had single military officer friends, then their character and appearance shouldn't be too bad, right?

Sigh, unfortunately, it seemed she was a step late; it seemed that at the beginning of the month, the Sea Island had already held a single military officer matchmaking event!

Hey, many excellent single military officers were already taken.

If she wanted to find a partner among the military officers, it would probably be next year.

Next year, she must come to the Sea Island in advance next year, she must sign up in advance!

"What nonsense are you talking about? You, just like your sister, are the apple of our Pei family's eye in my heart."

Old Master Pei didn't dare to continue; sigh, she was already such a big girl, and still acting spoiled.

Resignedly coaxing her, he finally made his granddaughter happy.

"Auntie, eat."

Perhaps it was blood kinship; Lian Lian, seeing this auntie who looked so much like her mother sad and upset, also dug out a piece of chicken cake she had hidden and handed it to her auntie.

"Thank you, Lian Lian, Auntie likes it very much."

Pei Yao was quite moved when she saw the thing that had already been mashed into an unrecognizable mess.

This was a pastry the little one had hidden?

Mm, no matter what, it was the little one's heart.

Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi didn't have much affection for this auntie; after seeing their sister's action, they both covered their little pockets tightly in unison.

Sister, your pastry has already been given to your auntie, but the pastries in our pockets are to be saved for our mommy and daddy, you are not allowed to come and grab ours!

Lian Lian sat on the straw mat, then looked at her little sister Si Si.

Si Si was a few months younger after all, and her brain hadn't opened up yet.

Completely unaware of the eye contact between her brother and sister, she was still happily playing with the ball in her arms, occasionally taking a few bites, leaving a corner of drool.

When Lian Lian crawled over to dig into her little sister's pocket, she found that there was no hidden cake in her sister's pocket. Why?

Not believing in evil, she went to dig into her sister's little shoes; nothing, empty, and then there was no then.

Pei Yao didn't understand what the interaction between the little ones represented, but Old Master Pei understood, and immediately cried and laughed, pinching the little great-granddaughter's cheek.

"Don't bully Si Si, she is younger than you, she is your sister.

You, let's see if you'll pretend to be generous in the future?"

Lian Lian hugged her arms like a little adult, huffing angrily—

"Hmph hmph."

Fine, fine, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.

Next time she would hide two pieces of small cake in her pocket!

It was also at this time that Pei Yao realized belatedly that her little niece seemed to regret giving her the small snack!

"Grandfather, why do I feel that the little ones' IQ is much higher than mine when I was little?"

"Guess."

If Old Master Pei knew the answer, how could he be played around by the little cubs? ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
