Early the next morning, after washing up, Li Xiangnan took Qin Ruobai to the middle courtyard for breakfast. Before he reached the door, he heard the conversation between his mother and Defa from inside.

"Xiao Wang, I've never asked you before, what's your zodiac sign?"

"Aunt, I'm a sheep!" Defa's unclear voice came from inside.

Li Xiangnan's heart moved and he looked at his wife.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten sheep are not perfect!

No wonder Defa has had some rough times in his life. There is something to be said about his zodiac sign.

"So you're 26 this year! Four years older than Xiangnan!" Zhu Qiuju asked concernedly, "Is your grandfather in good health?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruobai stood on tiptoe and leaned close to her husband's ear, whispering with a smile, "Mom, do you believe I'm going to introduce Defa to someone?"

"How is that possible!" Li Xiangnan replied subconsciously, but before he finished his words, a coughing sound came from inside.

"...Ahem, Auntie, why are you so concerned about my grandfather? You suddenly changed the subject and asked about this!" Wang Defa said innocently, "Where would I find a partner?"

puff!

Li Xiangnan smiled knowingly, silently gave his wife a thumbs up, and led her into the main hall.

Wang Defa was chewing a piece of scallion pancake with a flushed face, and his hand was wiping the porridge that had splashed around his mouth.

"Oh, have you already eaten? What are you talking about?" Li Xiangnan asked knowingly.

"We didn't talk about anything. Auntie asked me if I liked breakfast..." Wang Defa laughed subconsciously.

Zhu Qiuju smiled when she heard this, "Xiao Wang, you are not young anymore, and Grandpa is old too. It's time for you to find a partner!"

“…” Wang Defa turned his head to look at Li Xiangnan, his eyes full of embarrassment.

Li Xiangnan couldn't hold back the smile on his face. "Tsk tsk, you're still hiding it! My mother isn't an outsider!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa quickly stood up and wanted to cover Li Xiangnan's mouth.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuju laughed and said, "Oh, are you already dating? You're treating your aunt like an outsider!"

"No, that's not the case!" Wang Defa's face was bitter, and he quickly waved his hands, "Aunt, I do like her, but I'm afraid of wasting her time, ah!"

Hearing the hidden meaning in these words, Zhu Qiuju smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell your aunt about it?"

Seeing the fat man with a sullen face, her face flashed with urgency and concern. She pointed at her son and daughter-in-law and said, "Look, you and Xiangnan are in the same hospital. There are so many female doctors and nurses in that hospital. You are close to them, so it should be easy for you to find a partner. At worst, there are also many girls waiting to be married in Ruobai's unit. You have good conditions..."

"Auntie, that won't do!" Wang Defa's face turned even more bitter, and he quickly waved his hands to stop her, "How can I afford it?"

"Then tell me about that girl?" Zhu Qiuju poured him another bowl of porridge. "Eat slowly! It's still early, and we still have a while to go to work!"

Qin Ruobai silently gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up.

Wang Defa's parents are both dead, and he only has a grandfather living in a nursing home. He is already 26 years old and still has no partner, which is actually not common in today's society where people marry and have children early.

Not to mention other places, in Yanjing in 1980, young men and women got married relatively early, with an average age of 22 or 23, and the latest was no more than 25!

But Defa is already twenty-six.

Of course, some old bachelors and street urchins who are not successful are not included in this category and will be discussed separately. We are only talking about normal people.

His family conditions are one aspect, but Defa himself is not bad, and a doctor's income is okay. Apart from his family being a major drawback, the most important thing is that no one worries about this matter for him!

My mother-in-law cares about this matter because she really treats him as her own son.

At this moment, Zhu Qiuju suggested that she wanted to hear Defa's thoughts, but she found that Xiao Wang looked embarrassed and reluctant to speak. She immediately felt that there might be something hidden, so she turned around and asked her son with her eyes.

"The girl Defa likes does work in our company! She's a nice girl, her name is Fu Manlin."

Li Xiangnan spoke the truth without any praise or criticism. Seeing the confusion in his mother's eyes, he explained, "That girl is the same as Wanchun!"

"what?"

Zhu Qiuju exclaimed softly, then suddenly realized why Defa was so concerned about Zhou Yuejin's family. It seemed that he felt the same way, so she praised him, "Xiao Wang, you are a good comrade. As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. If you like someone, just pursue them. What's there to be afraid of? Look at Xiangnan..."

"Hey hey!"

When Li Xiangnan heard his mother using him as an example, his face flushed and he quickly covered his mother's mouth with his hands, "Mom, we can't play like this!"

Zhu Qiuju smiled and slapped her son's hand away. "What's the matter? I'm setting an example for your brother. Let him learn from me!"

Seeing Defa's face flushed red, she stopped at the right moment and said, "Xiao Wang, just eat. Auntie won't say much. I think you're quite good! Love requires courage! I'll help you arrange your marriage, don't be afraid!"

"Auntie..." When Wang Defa heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red. He opened his mouth but could no longer speak.

He is thoughtful and simple in feelings, but he is also self-deprecating and conceited, afraid of troubling others. He lacked the upbringing of his parents, which led him to have to consider other people's opinions before doing anything. He even lacks the courage to fall in love, fearing that he will cause trouble to others.

He was afraid that his family would be looked down upon, he was afraid that his partner would look down upon his family, he was afraid that no one at home would provide for him and people would worry that marrying into the Wang family would be difficult, and he was even more afraid that if he started to feel bad, it would hurt the relationship that they had worked so hard to build.

But Zhu Qiuju's words were equivalent to directly eliminating all his worries.

"You have to hurry up, Xiangnan's baby will be born in November! You have to work hard too, I can take care of one baby or two, I'm still young and have plenty of energy! Don't worry about what will happen after marriage, you are Xiangnan's brother after all!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhu Qiuju said this, Wang Defa's lips trembled twice and he burst into tears.

When dating and wanting to get married, one of the biggest concerns is that if they have children, there will be no one to take care of them. This is something they are afraid of facing, and they are also worried about their partner's opinion.

There is no one in the mother's family who doesn't care about this.

Zhu Qiuju's words today were very straightforward and completely resolved Defa's current difficulties.

Although her words are simple, they are full of heartwarming power.

Wang Defa burst into tears.

"Mom, you're awesome!" Qin Ruobai's eyes were red, but she couldn't help but give her mother-in-law a thumbs up for the second time, and was deeply moved.

Even Li Xiangnan couldn't help but stand up and put his arm around his mother's shoulders, saying with a smile, "You better keep your word! Don't burn your bridges after crossing the river. If Ren Defa marries a wife and there's no one to take care of the baby, I'll make trouble for you!"

"Go!" Zhu Qiuju laughed out loud in anger, and raised her hand to hit her son, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You have no respect for your elders! Send your wife to work immediately!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

Wang De's lips trembled twice, and he said very seriously: "Aunt, I will try to get married before I turn 30!"

Zhu Qiuju: “…”

Crackling!

Within two seconds, Zhu Qiuju started rolling the rolling pin and drove the guys out of the house.

The few people who ran out of the yard laughing looked at each other and all laughed.

At the gate, Li Xiangnan, straddling his motorcycle, said to the fat man, "You understand what I mean. Hurry up! Ask Xiao Fu out for a date. Don't let anyone rush you! You don't have anything to worry about!"

"Ok!"

Wang Defa did not perfunctorily respond this time. He nodded gently, watched the couple leave with a smile, and silently covered his heart, feeling warm.

Men in their prime should be bold and daring, shaking the sky with wind and thunder!

Damn it, I, Old Wang, have also risked everything, she’s just a woman!

There are things I can’t handle!

He strode into the Yuejin store, picked up the phone, and when the call was connected, he said directly: "Chief Xu, please tell Fu Manlin that I miss her..."

"Rogue! Toot-toot-toot..."

The phone immediately got busy and Wang Defa was stunned.

In the morning, all the neighbors who were playing chess, eating breakfast, bragging and chatting in the room were stunned.

The air was filled with shock, embarrassment, astonishment and stupor.

"Fuck..."

Two seconds later, there was a loud bang.

"..."

Wang Defa, so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground to create a three-bedroom apartment, suddenly jumped into the alley and ran out of sight at a 100-meter speed...
