Chapter 1237: Chapter 1194: Family Chit-Chat [Double Length]
She spoke like she was really knowledgeable and assud a veteran’s stance when talking about romance, making her seem quite convincing.
After all, this was Wu Ling’s first ti in a relationship, and at night, she would overthink and even do star matching several tis, desperately needing guidance from soone experienced.
But you know…
Even though they were complints, why did she feel sothing was a bit off?
After thinking for a bit, she directly asked: “Gong Xin Zhi, your girlfriend is still hungry. Why are you eating first?”
To be honest, this truly wasn’t Gong Xin Zhi’s fault. He, who was accustod to eating takeout and cafeteria als, had never tasted the ingredients from Lao Song’s family in his lifeti.
Now, early in the morning, Qiaoqiao had cooked appetizing spicy and sour rice noodles, and the aroma had practically cast a spell on him, making his eyes go wide!
Not squatting by the stove with a bowl was his greatest perseverance; now, he was slurping noisily when he heard his girlfriend’s reproachful tone, and he froze.
After hesitating for a mont, he reluctantly put down his bowl and chopsticks: “Lingling, it’s almost noon. Let
get you a small portion. By the way, what side dishes do you want?”
There didn’t seem to be much left in the pot; he still wanted to have another serving later…
Wu Ling, however, didn’t notice, just smiled and said: “You decide.”
Song Tan was just about to comnt on so details when Qiaoqiao suddenly chid in: “Sister Lingling, is this your boyfriend?”
“Yes!” Wu Ling bead with joy: “Oh my, even our Qiaoqiao knows about boyfriends now! How is he? Not bad, right?”
Qiaoqiao thought for a mont and answered seriously: “Not as good as Brother Lun Chuan.”
“Brother Lun Chuan would directly give everything to sis, would even make her cake rolls, sweet potato pancakes, radish pancakes, waterlon ice pops, waterlon milk cakes…”
He counted on his fingers: “He even bought
beautiful shoes and clothes, bought cigarettes and wine for dad and grandpa… Brother Lun Chuan’s mom also bought sis a gold bracelet!”
The innocence in his words stung, as Qiaoqiao summarized with one sentence: “But this brother isn’t as good-looking as Sister Lingling, and he doesn’t think of his girlfriend first when eating—not even as good as Qiaoqiao! Qiaoqiao would think of sis first, right sis?”
He dealt a blow, then looked at Song Tan eagerly for praise. Song Tan watched Wu Ling’s complex and changing expression, barely managing to hold back laughter, then nodded to Qiaoqiao.
After the naive kid left joyfully, she watched Wu Ling serve half a bowl of rice noodles for Gong Xin Zhi and then retreated to advance:
“What Qiaoqiao said was kid’s talk, no need to take it seriously. I noticed Gong Xin Zhi enjoyed his food quite a bit. He’s had two bowls already, good appetite, must be in great health.”
Even though she said that, Wu Ling glanced at her, feeling like Song Tan was really out of complints for Gong Xin Zhi, coming up with such a unique angle.
This perception made her feel strange inside, as if several filters were removed when she looked at her boyfriend.
She took a bite of the rice noodles.
Yum!!!
When she went to the kitchen for a second serving, Wu Lan approached, whispering to Song Tan: “I found out that this Gong Xin Zhi is from a small county town in Qing City, and he’s with our Lingling because his mom said she likes honest and simple girls.”
Wu Lan was a bit angry: “What kind of person looks for a daughter-in-law based on being honest and simple!”
Back in their generation, people loved to introduce boys and girls like this; the subtext was that the person didn’t have other rits. But Wu Ling is pretty and generous; apart from being a bit like her brother in thinking, she had no other flaws.
Besides, although people don’t care about old customs now, they can tell right away if soone is sincere.
How can anyone visit a girl’s family during the New Year without bringing anything?
It’s not about understanding etiquette; it shows they’re careless and complacent.
Even ordinary people know to bring so fruits or milk when visiting a classmate’s ho for a couple of days.
Looking at just this point, everyone in Lao Song’s family cannot agree.
Not to ntion the call from the aunt saying sothing about going back to Gong Xin Zhi’s county to take a civil service exam or sothing.
Ha!
If civil service exams were that easy, why would Zhang Yanping be so unwilling? To take it in the county… What if he fails?
The more Wu Lan thought about it, the angrier she beca, and she comnted:
“Even your uncle doesn’t know how to raise kids; how did they both change so much when they fell in love?”
Even Song Sancheng chid in: “Look at him eating, just focusing on himself. Why didn’t he think of our Lingling? Entering the kitchen, the first bowl he serves himself… this person isn’t suitable.”
