Chapter 1805: Chapter 2: Xiao Yuer’s Love (2)

After much consideration, taking into account her physical condition, Chuxia chose to work four and a half days a week. Saturday and Sunday are her fixed days off, and the other half day is flexible.

Of course, if there’s an emergency, she would take leave in advance. For her, work is important, but family is more important.

In the blink of an eye, it’s Sunday.

Early in the morning, the Zhou family was packed with people. Lin Yanqiu and Old Madam Zhou, who were eagerly awaiting their granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law, dressed very grandly. Spotting the eldest and second sons downstairs, Lin Yanqiu waved them over. Knowing they were about to be nagged, the brothers sighed inwardly but obediently stood before the elders to receive their lectures.

"When will you let me meet someone?" Lin Yanqiu went straight to the point as soon as she spoke.

"Grandma..." Zhou Wunbei, trying to appease his grandmother, massaged her shoulders, "Don’t worry about it, these things can’t be rushed. Look at my dad, if he was too hasty, he wouldn’t have found my mom."

"Are you the same as your dad? What was your dad like when he was your age, and what are you like now?" Lin Yanqiu irritably glanced at her grandson, "At least if you were as steady as your brother, I wouldn’t worry. With your temperament, which family’s daughter dare marry you?"

Zhou Wunnan’s mouth twitched involuntarily. When it’s his turn, the complaint will be that he’s not as lively as his brother. Anyway, if he and his brother don’t bring back wives, Grandma just finds fault with them.

However, Grandma was right. When their father was their age, he was already a regiment commander, while they were just a major and a lieutenant. The difference is huge!

Regarding this, Mom explained that different generations have different circumstances. In wartime, it was common to be a regiment commander in one’s twenties, but in their father’s time, it was rare, and for them, it’s almost impossible.

He wanted to say that if he joined the Leopard Brigade like his dad, perhaps he could catch up, but Mom didn’t even need to disapprove; Dad was the first to object, saying it wasn’t suitable for him.

After investigating the situation, it was indeed unsuitable due to their family’s background. A man should achieve greatness, but not at the expense of family worry, so better let it go.

If he tried harder, even if he couldn’t compete with Dad, at least he could compare with his uncle.

Lin Wenbin, who was sitting next to Chuxia chatting, sneezed, and Yuan Hui quickly reached out to touch his forehead, "Are you catching a cold?"

"No." Lin Wenbin shook his head, "Is someone talking about me?" Saying that, his gaze fell on his daughter Lin Ruoyi sitting beside him.

"Dad, it’s not right to blame me like this. Why would I talk about you for no reason?" Lin Ruoyi looked speechless, "The way you’re talking, it seems like I’m secretly complaining about you all the time. You’re my real dad, right?"

"Okay, Daddy’s wrong. I shouldn’t have happened to look at you. Actually, I just wanted to see what you were doing."

Lin Ruoyi pouted, showing disbelief in her father’s words. Right now, everyone was waiting for Xiao Yuer’s potential girlfriend. With him saying that, who could believe it?

"We’re here!" Accompanied by an announcement, Xiao Yuer pulled a young woman in, and all eyes focused on her. Suddenly surrounded by a room full of people, the woman’s face turned crimson.

Standing at 167 centimeters tall, with fair skin, a well-proportioned body, and particularly beautiful sparkling eyes, upon closer inspection, she somewhat resembled Chuxia.

In that instant, everyone understood; Xiao Yuer really picked someone fashioned after his own mother!

"This is Great-grandfather, this is Great-grandmother, this is Maternal Great-grandfather, this is Maternal Great-grandmother, this is Grandma, this is Grandpa, this is my grandfather, this is my grandmother, this is my dad, this is my mom..."

After Xiao Yuer made his rounds of introduction, the young woman mechanically greeted each one. She probably couldn’t make out who is who herself, but when it came to Chuxia, her eyes noticeably lit up.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Chuxia let Xiao Yuer take Yue Yanan to join the younger generation.

"Yue Yanan..." Lin Ruoyi waved to Yue Yanan, "Did you see this day coming long ago, haha..."

"Yiyi..." Yue Yanan blushed, looking at Xiao Yuer beside her, feeling as aggrieved as she could be. Seeing her, Xiao Yuer’s heart trembled, and he quickly glared at his cousin, "Yiyi, don’t scare Yanan!"

"Ugh!" Lin Ruoyi pouted, "As if I wanted to! Fine, since she doesn’t want to acknowledge me as her classmate, I’m not bothered either..." With that, she walked over to Chuxia, "Aunt, I have things to do, I’ll be leaving first."

Chuxia nodded at her, "Alright, come over for lunch."

"No, I’ll manage with a little something for lunch, I’ll come over to your place for a delicious dinner." As the last word faded, she was already out the door, Yuan Hui shook her head helplessly, "This girl, when will she mature?" Then she looked at the embarrassed Yue Yanan, "Little Yue, don’t take it to heart, Yiyi is just that straightforward, she means no harm."

"Auntie, I know. Yiyi is very forthright. Actually, I was particularly worried that she wouldn’t accept me when I was with Manxi, because... because we had a little misunderstanding before, and even after explaining to her, she didn’t seem to understand."

"What misunderstanding?" Yuan Hui asked casually.

"Yiyi likes a boy in our class, but that boy borrowed my notebook, so Yiyi thought I was good with that guy. Actually, it wasn’t like that at all. I had finished my homework, and he wanted to borrow it..." She bit her lip, her face red to the point of bursting, "Borrowed it to copy." (To be continued.
