Li Yuchun perked up as soon as she heard it, imdiately chasing after Fang Pingying with questions, "So, what’s this man’s family like, what does he do?"
Fang Pingying was both amused and bemused by her enthusiasm, laughing as she said, "Why ask so many questions? Hasn’t Fang Xiu already found soone suitable?"
When Li Yuchun heard about Fang Xiu’s matter, she sighed deeply, sounding sowhat disappointed, "Ah, I don’t even know what to say about that. I asked Xiu’er, and Xiu’er said that the person Ai Hua introduced to her was not bad, but it seems to she’s not taking it to heart. If Gao Sheng cos to our house or the shop, she would go out, but if Gao Sheng doesn’t co, she wouldn’t take the initiative to contact him. I feel like she doesn’t really like that Gao Sheng."
Actually, Fang Pingying wasn’t particularly fond of that man either. Hearing Li Yuchun say this, she casually replied, "If she really doesn’t like him, then forget it. Don’t force her."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuchun reproached with a pout, "Ah, you young people nowadays, always going on about liking this or that. Once you’re married, everything’s the sa, just getting by day to day. Like your father and I back in the day, we didn’t even know what ’liking’ was, but we’ve still made it through so many years."
Fang Pingying couldn’t be bothered to explain so much to soone of her age, simply saying, "Tis have changed, and so have the expectations. If two people aren’t compatible, forcing them together for material reasons will only lead to problems sooner or later."
Li Yuchun nodded in agreent and then added, "But with that Gao Sheng, if it really doesn’t work out, then so be it. Actually, I also feel that he is too good for our Xiu’er. I don’t know what he sees in her and why he agreed."
After a pause, Li Yuchun continued in a puzzled tone, "And also, according to Xiu’er, Gao Sheng is quite enthusiastic about her. After work or on weekends, he often sits in the shop waiting for her, saying he wants to go to a movie or have a al together. Sotis, when Xiu’er says she’s worried about Haohao at ho, Gao Sheng would even take Haohao with them."
"Really?" Fang Pingying thought that if that was indeed the case, perhaps Gao Sheng truly liked Fang Xiu. After all, matters of the heart are difficult to gauge and shouldn’t be asured by material conditions.
Li Yuchun nodded affirmatively, "Mhm."
Fang Pingying thought for a mont and said, "I’ll go and ask my mom about it tomorrow, have her probe Gao Sheng’s intentions, or ask more about his character."
Li Yuchun felt that was a good idea, "Alright, I had also planned to ask more closely."
The group was chatting in the kitchen when suddenly they heard the sound of the door opening outside. Fang Pingying initially thought Fang Xiu and the others had finished work, but soon the voices of Luo Zhiyong speaking in the hall could be heard.
After that were the voices of Huang Lin and juzi calling for Camp Chief Luo.
Even Li Yuchun and Luo Honglan in the kitchen heard them. Luo Honglan walked excitedly toward the outside, calling out, "Big brother is back."
Fang Pingying knew it was Luo Zhiyong who had co back and felt a bit excited too. She turned off the stove, put down the spatula, and went to the hall.
There stood Luo Zhiyong, clad in camouflage uniform, his tall figure dominating the living room, greeting Liu Fengsheng and the others.
Seeing Fang Pingying co out, he gave her a slight smile and then quickly stepped over to her, asking softly, "Why is it so lively at ho today?"
Fang Pingying didn’t go into detail, simply saying, "juzi said he wanted to buy the apartnt upstairs. It just so happened that the apartnt was bought by Tingting’s family, so we arranged to chat."
Luo Zhiyong winked at Fang Pingying, "What a coincidence."
Fang Pingying glared at him, aware that he said this on purpose because he didn’t like Liu Fengsheng.
As they were talking, juzi suddenly poked his head out from behind and teased them, "Yo, as soon as Camp Chief Luo returns, he’s whispering sweet nothings with sister-in-law. Such a loving couple..."
After speaking, juzi deliberately clicked her tongue a few tis loudly.
"Haha." Everyone in the living room burst into laughter imdiately.
Standing on the sofa, Liu Fengsheng also glanced at the strong man with a smile on his face but a touch of envy for Luo Zhiyong in his heart.
Being able to marry such a good woman, not many n in this world have that kind of fortune.
Luo Zhiyong smiled at the people in the hall, not minding their teasing. He just tugged at Fang Pingying and started rolling up his sleeves, heading towards the kitchen, "What’s for dinner, do you need my help?"
"No need, you go keep Brother Liu and Huang Lin company, and by the way, Huang Lin ntioned he wants to buy a house; you can give him so advice." Fang Pingying said while pushing him towards the living room, "My mom and Hong Lan are in the kitchen helping, you aren’t needed."
Luo Zhiyong, helpless, could only smile at her, "Alright, I’ll keep the guests company."
Luo Zhiyong walked over to the sofa and casually started a conversation with Liu Fengsheng, "Brother Liu, I heard from Pingying that you work at the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"
Liu Fengye replied with a light smile, "Yes, I work at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Several people chatted about the supply and marketing cooperative for a while, then suddenly it quieted down again, and the atmosphere turned a bit peculiar.
Indeed, it was strange. Both Luo Zhiyong and Liu Fengsheng were not awkward people when interacting with others, but whenever the two got together, it was always a bit awkward.
Fortunately, afterward, Huang Lin brought up the topic of buying a house, and Luo Zhiyong casually inquired, "Is the upstairs apartnt ours Mr. Liu’s?"
Liu Fengye said, "It used to belong to a friend of mine, but I just recently bought it, so now this apartnt is mine."
Fang Pingying spoke in a hurry earlier, so Luo Zhiyong thought it was Huang Lin who bought Liu Fengsheng’s apartnt. Hearing this now, he was sowhat puzzled, "Huang Lin, wasn’t it you who bought Mr. Liu’s apartnt upstairs?"
Huang Lin explained with a smile, "This apartnt originally belonged to Brother Liu’s friend. We just didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence. We intended to buy it, but Mr. Liu bought it first."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong slightly furrowed his brow. He understood what Liu Fengsheng and Huang Lin ant. In other words, it wasn’t his originally, but he just recently bought it. Could it be that he decided to buy it after knowing their family lived here?
To be honest, Luo Zhiyong felt a bit uncomfortable thinking about this possibility, but since it was just his assumption, he didn’t say much and just made small talk.
However, the relationship between Luo Zhiyong and Liu Fengsheng, which seed a bit awkward to begin with, beca even more awkward after this incident.
The two sat together, speaking sporadically, making it obvious to anyone that they were both distracted. Thankfully, with the talkative Huang Lin in the middle, the atmosphere was sowhat relieved.
Perhaps because of this, after dinner, Liu Fengsheng made the excuse that Tingting had to go to school the next day and left imdiately.
As for juzi and Huang Lin, they stayed at Fang Pingying’s house for a while longer, with Huang Lin and Luo Zhiyong in the study, apparently discussing the recent military exercise.
juzi was in the living room, talking with Fang Pingying about the house.
