On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

Ouyang Ya smiled and said, "You can buy local specialties. I occasionally go out to relax when I have time, but I never think of buying local specialties."

"Maybe I'm just picky about food, I don't think it tastes good, so I don't want to buy it."

Ouyang Ya couldn't eat many of the local specialties and snacks.

"Every time I go to a place, I will buy some local specialties to bring back for my family to try. Sometimes I buy too much and give some to relatives and friends as gifts."

Zhan Yuan always spoke with a smile, and when he looked at me with a smile, it was easy to get the illusion that he liked me.

A calm person like Ouyang Ya always feels happy when facing the gentle Zhan Yuan.

No wonder her sister had a special liking for Zhan Yuan when she first met him, and would praise him from time to time, so much so that she always felt that her sister liked Zhan Yuan.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Ouyang Ya retracted her gaze and did not meet Zhan Yuan's eyes.

She enjoyed her lunch gracefully.

She was very satisfied with the lunch Zhan Yuan prepared for her.

"I'll eat later."

Zhan Yuan liked watching his wife elegantly savor the meals he prepared for her.

I thought to myself that he was born to love breakfast, probably just for Ouyang Ya.

Grandma was also very capable. She carefully selected and traveled thousands of miles to find him a wife with a sharp tongue.

If it weren’t for his excellent cooking skills, he would not be able to get this wife.

At that time, they will do as their fourth brother did, giving up the wife candidate chosen by grandma for them and chasing after one on their own.

Zhan Yuan felt that it was too time-consuming to choose and pursue on his own, so he decided to follow the red line laid out by his grandmother. At least he had a goal and he didn't have to spend time choosing on his own.

Save yourself some trouble.

If he had that much time, he might as well cook a few more dishes.

For Zhan Yuan, who loves cooking, he would rather stay in the kitchen and cook than go on blind dates or chase after a wife.

Unless his future wife is very challenging for him, like Ouyang Ya.

In short, Zhan Yuan now has only one thought when looking at Ouyang Ya: if he cannot marry Ouyang Ya, Ouyang Ya may remain single and be an old aunt for the rest of her life.

Ouyang Ya: ...You put so much gold on your face!

Zhan Yuan not only watched Ouyang Ya eat, but also watched her intently with gentle eyes and brows. Anyone who didn't know the truth would definitely say that he was looking at his beloved.

"When you look at me like this, I feel like I've become a delicious dish in your eyes."

Ouyang Ya had to say something to him.

Being stared at like this by him, Ouyang Ya, who had a strong sense of self-control, was a little overwhelmed.

"Miss, you eat very elegantly and beautifully. As a chef, I like to watch diners happily enjoy the delicious food I cook."

Zhan Yuan would not be stupid enough to tell Ouyang Ya that she was his future daughter-in-law.

There is not even a hint of fate yet.

He treated Ouyang Ya as his own wife, but Ouyang Ya treated him as a chef.

If he told it out, Ouyang Ya would fire him immediately.

Ouyang Ya smiled and said, "I'll go back to the hotel to eat tonight, so you don't have to bring it over. Also, let's eat dinner together, and stop staring at me while I eat."

She was a little affected.

He stared at her while she ate, making her feel like he wanted to eat her.

Zhan Yuan responded in a gentle voice: "Okay, as long as the young lady doesn't mind my ugly eating manners, then I will respectfully obey your command."

"You seem to be a very cultured and well-mannered person, and you look gentle as jade. Although I haven't eaten at the same table with you, I guess you don't look bad when you eat."

Zhan Yuan smiled.

I praised in my heart: You are worthy of being Zhan Yuan’s wife, you have a unique vision and are so accurate!

Ouyang Ya: ...Who is your wife?

"By the way, there is something I want to know in advance."

Zhan Yuan looked at her gently, waiting for her to ask questions.

"During the Chinese New Year, are you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year? It's quite far from where we are to Wancheng. I heard that the winter in your Wancheng is not cold at all."

Zhan Yuan replied: "I will go back to my hometown for the New Year. Is there a place for Miss's three meals a day? If so, I still want to go back. My grandmother is old, and she is looking forward to the New Year and other holidays so that we cousins ​​can go home."

"Usually we all go our separate ways to make a living, so it's hard for us brothers to get together."

Zhan Yuan did not lie in this statement.

Ouyang Ya, who had investigated Zhan Yuan, knew that Zhan Yuan had two brothers, but also several cousins. If the cousins ​​were included, they had nine brothers.

Not a single sister.

The complete opposite of her family.

In her family, yin is more than yang, while in Zhan Yuan's family, yang is more than yin.

If the elders knew that Zhan Yuan had so many brothers, they would be so envious of the Zhan family’s feng shui.

"Do you still live together?"

Ouyang Ya pretended not to know and asked.

"Well, when we go back to our hometown, we still live together in the old house left by our ancestors. Usually, my brothers and I buy or rent an apartment near our workplace to make it convenient for work."

Ouyang Ya asked again: "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

"In my generation, there are nine brothers in total, and I am the sixth. My brothers all call me Lao Liu."

"I don't have any sisters. My family has no daughters for several generations. Those who have daughters can't raise them. My grandmother always said that she gave birth to three sons, and those three sons gave her nine grandchildren."

"No daughter-in-law has ever given her a granddaughter. She has been waiting for a granddaughter until her hair turned gray but she still hasn't gotten one. Now she is hoping for a great-granddaughter."

Ouyang Ya had already eaten half of it.

When she eats, she usually doesn't talk and eats very quickly.

This time, it was because Zhan Yuan kept looking at her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she found some daily topics to chat with Zhan Yuan.

"Having too many granddaughters can make grandmothers worried. My grandparents were like that. They were looking forward to having grandchildren, but their daughters-in-law gave birth to one granddaughter, two granddaughters, and I have six or seven cousins."

"My parents both died giving birth to a son, but I didn't expect that I would have a younger brother. My mother gave birth to my brother at an advanced age."

After a moment of silence, Ouyang Ya said, "It's not that our family treats our daughter badly, but the elders still hope to have a son and think that the family business should be left to the son to inherit."

"If they really can't give birth to a son, they will consider letting their daughter take over. That's how the older ones like me took over the family business."

If Ouyang Ya had an older brother or a younger brother who was only one or two years younger than her, she would definitely not be the one sitting in the president's position.

Unless her brothers are fools, the elders will let their son take over and let their daughter assist him as an assistant minister.

Zhan Yuan couldn't answer the phone.

"In fact, the elders in my family still favor boys over girls. My brother is only a few years old. It will take more than ten years for him to grow up. Before he can take over, A Ting and I can only marry locals."

Ouyang Ya stopped talking here.
