Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 371 Blind Date

Her two sons have higher standards than each other. I don’t know what they are thinking. They went on blind dates for a long time yesterday, but didn’t find any one they liked.

Man Yue is younger than them and has already married with children, but they haven't even seen the shadow of a wife.

Alas, when will this day end?

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Second Aunt, could it be that Wei Min and Wei Bing have already found someone they like?"

"It would be great if there really is one. I thought so at first, and even tried to find out, but I didn't hear anything. I guess there isn't one."

Aunt Xu sighed.

In fact, she also understood in her heart that her two sons did not want to get married for the time being, simply because one more person would mean one more mouth to feed, and if they had children, there would be several more mouths to feed.

Although no one in my family is starving for the time being, we still haven't had a full meal every day.

They are afraid that life at home will become more difficult after they get married.

But people have to get married in this life, and they are both almost twenty-five years old.

Men of this age are definitely considered old in the countryside. People of the same age as them have children who can already take care of the family, but only these two are reluctant to get married.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment. It seemed that the two of them didn't want to get married.

As for the reasons, she could more or less guess them.

Fortunately, this great famine will soon be over, and everyone will no longer have to worry about starving to death at any time.

"Second Aunt, why don't you go back and have a good talk with my brother and the others? Maybe they will agree."

Twenty-five is not young to be unmarried.

What’s more, Chinese New Year is coming the day after tomorrow, and my two cousins will be 26 years old in the blink of an eye.

Second Aunt Xu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let them be."

"I'm old anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'm a year or two older. Maybe life will get better in two years."

Anyway, the couple has already prepared the betrothal gifts for them to marry their wives. Whenever they want to get married, they just need to say a word and they can get married at any time.

"Man Yue, you should have a good rest. Your second uncle and I will go back first. We will come to see you when we are free in the future."

Xu Manyue smiled and nodded, "Okay, Uncle and Aunt, take care."

After everyone left, the old lady brought the child back to Xu Manyue.

"Third daughter-in-law, it's time to feed the baby. After you finish feeding the baby, hold the baby and let him sleep for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you."

Xu Manyue took the child and said, "Okay."

During the days when she returned home, her meals were basically cooked by the old lady herself, using the few fine grains at home, sometimes noodles, sometimes buns, and sometimes dumplings.

In short, the little white flour at home basically went into her mouth.

She had said it before, but the old lady wouldn't listen and insisted on taking good care of her body.

Xu Manyue couldn't persuade her, so she just let her be.

However, she didn't eat much each time. At first, the old lady forced her to finish it, until she found that she really couldn't eat that much. This time, she cooked less every time.

In fact, when the old lady is not around, or every morning or evening, Xu Manyue will go into her own independent little kitchen.

Make soybean stewed pig's feet, crucian carp soup, black chicken soup, and various other tonics.

This incident caused a lot of damage to her body, although she had the postpartum recovery pill which was slowly repairing her body.

But relying solely on the power of pills is not enough, it also requires good supplements to quickly restore the body to health.

Now the child can only rely on her for breastfeeding. If she is not in good health, the child will suffer as well.

Fortunately, her body was not as weak and serious as imagined, and she would be fine after a few months of recuperation.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Chinese New Year.

The old lady had been waiting at the door for her son to come back soon, but she waited and waited from morning to afternoon, but there was no sign of Shen Jianping.

She was becoming more and more worried, and just when she was about to ask her eldest son to check on the situation.

From a distance, a tall and familiar figure walked over carrying a bag.

The old lady recognized her eldest son at a glance and waved her hand quickly, "Old Four, Old Four, why did you come back just now? Did something happen on the way?"

When Shen Jianping heard his mother's cry, he ran over and placed the things he was holding in front of the old lady. "Mom, look, what did I bring back for you?"

The old lady looked up, her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help swallowing, "Oh my god, meat, where did you get the meat?"

"Is my vision blurry? Is this... is this really meat?"

This small piece weighs at least half a pound, enough for their family to have a good meal.

It is a time when there is a shortage of meat. Even Lao Si’s master has a hard time getting a meal of meat. Where does he get the meat?

Shen Jianping smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's meat."

"I asked someone to get it. As for the meat ticket, it was a reward from my superiors for completing an important task at work this time."

When the old lady heard this, her face wrinkled with laughter. "My son is really amazing. I told you, my son Wang Wanhua is no lazy bum."

"Besides the reward of a meat ticket, did your leader say anything else, like when you'll be officially hired?"

Shen Jianping shook his head. "No, Mom, I've only been working here for less than a year and haven't learned anything real yet. How can I get a permanent position so quickly? Even if I want to be a permanent employee, I have to pass the assessment to have this opportunity."

He actually wants to become a regular employee. Recently, when he saw the formal work-based housing, he was almost envious.

That is a house in the city, representing the identity of a city worker.

Unfortunately, he was just an apprentice. Not to mention getting a room, he didn't even have some basic benefits.

A trace of disappointment flashed across the old lady's eyes, but she quickly recovered and pulled Shen Jianping back to the house. "You may not know yet, but your third sister-in-law gave birth to a boy. Your third brother has an heir."

"I've been looking at my adorable grandson lately, and I like him more and more. You should go over and see him soon, and try to settle down in the city as soon as possible, find a wife, and give me a big, fat grandson."

"When the time comes, I will also go to take care of your wife during the confinement period and help you take care of the child."

Shen Jianping's ears turned slightly red, "Mom, it's still early, why are you saying this?"

The old lady keenly sensed something was wrong. She paused, turned her head and stared at Shen Jianping's face, "Fourth Brother, tell me honestly, are you interested in a girl this time?"

She suddenly recalled what the second brother had said a few days ago.

The daughter of the deputy director of the machinery factory, she graduated from high school, is quite pretty, and often follows the fourth brother.

Could it be that the girl the fourth brother likes now is this girl?
