Chapter 655: 655. Gossip Zhu Xin_1
The young lad driving the car back to Yun City on leave was nad Zhu Xin, with a smile that revealed two small canine teeth and a slightly dark complexion—
In Song Tan’s social circle, apart from Qiaoqiao, it was hard for her to et anyone with fair skin, and she had gotten used to it by now.
But this Zhu Xin, he was a chatterbox.
“Aiyo aiyo, our Princess is coming with you? That’s fantastic, when I saw Da Wang in the squad, I just thought, you’re really good at raising them!”
While talking, he confidently pulled out his phone: “Co on, let’s add each other on WeChat—What year were you born? Which month… oh oh oh we’re the sa age… wow! Fate! You’re just a month older than … Sis, you’re so pretty, do you have a boyfriend yet… ”
The person in charge’s face turned dark as he hurriedly urged him: “Stop dawdling, hurry up and settle down, so Princess and the others can rest.”
He still glared at Zhu Xin: “Be serious!”
Zhu Xin nodded quickly, fixed his expression, and then got straight into the car.
Only when the car had rged onto the main road did Song Tan’s phone ring again—
“Sis, it’s so boring just driving, let’s chat, we’re fellow villagers after all—what does your dog eat every day?”
Song Tan: …I haven’t encountered such a talker since coming back.
As for what it eats, before she could answer, the other side started rambling again:
“Ah, I’m asking for nothing! Just looking at the state of your dog, it must be eating red at, white at, all sorts of combinations every day, probably eats better than … Our squad’s chef is actually not bad, Sis, have you ever tried it? The braised pork is really good…”
Then he said: “Oh right, Sis, do you have a partner? If not, what are your criteria? I can introduce soone to you! But you have to rule
out, I’m taken.”
Song Tan: …
While driving, she glanced at her phone call screen, already hesitating whether to hang up or not.
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Xin seed completely oblivious to his babbling, continuing his tirade:
“Sis, let
tell you, don’t be shy! I’m actually going back for my cousin’s wedding, her partner is in the military, a whole line of officers for groomsn, all with crew cuts, square faces, great figures, and all single…”
“Sis, think about it, we don’t care if they suit our tastes or not, at the very least, the nation has screened them for us first, much more reliable than our relatives doing the screening.”
“Besides, Sis, you’re so pretty, don’t just marry anyone—tell
your criteria, I’ll have my cousin screen them for you, we’re not talking about dating here, just start as friends…”
Song Tan: …
If she didn’t say anything, Zhu Xin might have already arranged which kindergarten her child would attend.
At that mont, she cleared her throat: “Here’s the thing, Xiaozhu, I’m a country bumpkin, so I only have one requirent for a partner: they need to be hardworking.”
“Seeing as I know so many people, why don’t we organize it, and you co help
harvest rice next year? Then I can take my pick?”
“I promise, if you get
a list this year, I won’t date anyone next year, just waiting for our own people.”
Zhu Xin: …
In his more than twenty years of life, it was the first ti he’d t his match!
He beca even more enthusiastic: “Why wait until next year? Isn’t this the perfect ti since everyone is on leave? Let
see if a few have ti. Any other work in the fields, just tell them to co over!”
“That won’t work,” Song Tan was principled:
“The aunties in my village ntioned this to
before, and it might be arranged within these two months… We’ve got to go in the order of who ca first.”
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Xin was for once at a loss for words.
After a while, all he could let out was a long sigh:
“Sis, tell
the truth, is it that there isn’t enough rice to harvest this year?”
Song Tan was driving, but a smile appeared on her face, “We’re family, why speak so bluntly?”
“Right, Xiaozhu, didn’t you say our sister is getting married tomorrow? Do you have ti in the afternoon to have a al at my place and bring so specialties for our relatives?”
“There’s no need for a al, I still have to hurry back and help with the work…”
Song Tan burst into laughter, this ti she said nothing more, just pondering—
When she gets back, she should treat the young man to so waterlon first.
To be fair, the lad talks too much, but he knows his limits and doesn’t say anything he shouldn’t.
With him there, the four-plus-hour return journey didn’t feel so boring.
It’s just that… the ears do suffer quite a bit.
When the car stopped in front of the house, Zhu Xin was still rambling on the phone:
“Wow, Sis! No wonder you keep so many dogs, such a rich family! Look at this villa, my girlfriend would be so jealous… Hey, what’s this sun-drying? Sesa and mung beans? These must sll amazing when fried…”
Blah blah blah blah, his mouth was like machine-gunning until there was no more sound coming from the phone.
Zhu Xin pushed open the car door and looked at Song Tan, who shook her phone, “The battery’s dead.”
Zhu Xin then got excited again, turned, and opened the door on the other side:
“Ah, I thought you were tired of
talking too much… co on, Yingjun, do you want bro to carry you down? Ah, watch that leg, don’t overdo it!”
“Princess? Can Princess manage by herself? Amazing, you’ve co down without needing my help!”
“Oh, Duoduo, we’re not close, but you should still call
‘Brother’… Co on, Sister Duoduo, don’t wiggle, bro will cushion your landing with a mat—don’t move! You can’t ss with that wound, it’s been troubleso for so long and still not healed…”
“Cang Er, you’re down by yourself? Good job, why aren’t you minding , oh I forgot, my voice is too soft… co here, Cang Er, this way!”
“Look, this big villa will be your ho from now on! Don’t be shy, we’ll still co to visit you…”
Wu Lan who just ca out: …
Where did this chatty young man co from?
Qiaoqiao spotted the new dogs right away and exclaid, “Sister, you’re amazing! Did you trade for them with the King? Why are they all injured? Did they lose a fight?”
King: “Woof?”
Song Tan couldn’t help but smile, “I couldn’t bear to part with King… These are all sick, they’ve co to our house to recuperate.”
Qiaoqiao understood, “Okay! Can I make them a bed in the corridor? There are no more houses up in the mountains.”
“Sure!” Song Tan agreed imdiately, and with that, she pushed Zhu Xin, who hadn’t yet had a chance to speak, over, “Here, Qiaoqiao, this is the firefighter brother, you can take him to eat waterlon.”
Better stuff the chatty mouth before it tires
out any further.
A firefighter?! Like the one in the cartoons? Wow!
Qiaoqiao was instantly delighted, “Brother, let’s go eat waterlon! The brother who operates the excavator here loves waterlon too!”
She said, grabbing Zhu Xin’s wrist, and headed straight into the house.
anwhile, Wu Lan sighed, “I knew you couldn’t part with those three thousand yuan.”
Look at what she’s brought back, these must cost a pretty penny to care for, right?
