So at the dinner table, the two groups chatted about their own things. Aunt Zhou chatted with Lin Sitian about the gossip in the brigade, while the brigade leader and several others talked about how the brigade should harvest in autumn.

While eating, Aunt Zhou noticed that not only Lin Zhiqiang would occasionally look at Lin Sitian, but her youngest son would also secretly look at Lin Zhiqing?

Could it be that without her knowledge, her youngest son could be so connected with her and know what she was thinking? After having this thought, Aunt Zhou deliberately talked about the interesting things about her son's childhood when chatting with Lin Sitian.

Zhou Tinghao was originally listening to his father and buddies chatting there, and occasionally listening to the new things his brother encountered while driving tractors in various brigades.

I don’t understand why I don’t eat well. While eating, my eyes always look at the white dough. I always feel that this little white dough is so thin and must not have eaten well.

Zhou Tinghao, who was secretly observing Lin Sitian, didn't know that his mother was also secretly observing him. He just saw that as he expected, the little white dough boy didn't eat well. He just ate some bok choy, boiled beans, occasionally some sauerkraut, and rarely ate meat.

Zhou Tinghao didn't know what he was thinking, so he picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Lin Sitian's bowl.

Looking at the look in Lin Zhiqiang's eyes that seemed to want to stab him at the moment, he also looked at his elder brother's ambiguous look at him and the winking look at him, as well as his mother's teachable look.

When he saw Lin Sitian looking up at him with a confused expression, Zhou Tinghao came back to his senses and explained:

"Uh, don't look at me like that. I'm afraid of you. And Lin Mei'er, I've heard my father tell you many heroic deeds. I think you're amazing. You're so powerful at such a young age. You need to eat more to replenish your body."

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, Aunt Zhou hurriedly tried to make amends for her son:

"Yes, yes, let me tell you, Xiaolin, the educated youth, I have been telling my son all about your heroic deeds since he first came home. Ever since I knew he had a good relationship with your brother, I have been telling him all about it.

He thinks you are very capable, and he has used a lot of the medicine you sent to your brother. He must have given you the ribs because he saw that you didn't eat much meat.

Look how thin you are now. As a little girl, you need to eat more meat to make up for it. Otherwise, the autumn harvest will come tomorrow, and your small body can't handle it. You are not allowed to take naps during the autumn harvest!"

After saying these words, Aunt Zhou picked up a large piece of meat and an egg with chopsticks and gave them to Lin Sitian. After listening to Aunt Zhou's explanation, Lin Zhiqiang no longer glared at Zhou Tinghao.

However, during the following meal time, Lin Zhiqiang would not only pay attention to his sister, but also to his buddies.

Zhou Tinghao also felt that his behavior just now was inappropriate, so he just focused on eating and didn't look around.

Aunt Zhou glared at her youngest son in disappointment. He didn't dare to act after being glared at by Lin Zhiqing's brother. What a coward! How could he get married like this?

However, in order not to alert the enemy, Aunt Zhou changed the subject and started talking to Lin Zhiqing about how they could go mountain hunting after the autumn harvest. She told Lin Zhiqing about a lot of edible mountain products.

During the meal, everyone got along even more happily. After the meal, Lin Sitian was originally planning to clean up and wash the dishes with Aunt Zhou.

As a result, when Lin Sitian just stood up, Zhou Tinghao also stood up and started to clear the dishes on the table, and said to Lin Sitian: "Little sister Lin, please sit down and chat with my mother for a while. You guys have worked hard cooking, I'll go clean up and wash the dishes!"

Seeing that her youngest son was about to gain favor, how could Aunt Zhou miss this good opportunity? She hurriedly grabbed Lin Zhiqing's hand and pulled her to sit on the stool and said:

"Yes, Lin Zhiqing, let's continue chatting. Let Zhou Tinghao wash the dishes. He's happy to do it himself. Let's not bother him while he's doing it!"

Seeing that Zhou Tinghao really picked up the dishes and went to wash them, Zhou Tingfeng also sat next to the team leader and answered Lin Zhiqiang's occasional questions about the team.

After Lin Sitian sat down, she saw that her brother was not about to leave, so she asked curiously, "Aunt Zhou, your Zhou Tinghao is so hardworking!"

Aunt Zhou took advantage of Lin Sitian's curiosity to ask these questions, and struck while the iron was hot to praise her son in various ways. After hearing these, Lin Sitian felt that you can't judge a book by its cover. Not only did his height and voice seem inconsistent, but he was actually a good family man.

After chatting for a while, Lin Sitian looked at the sky outside and said to Aunt Zhou, "Aunt, my brother and I are going back now. We have to harvest tomorrow, so we need to go back and rest early."

Hearing his younger sister say this, Lin Zhiqiang also looked at the sky outside and said goodbye to the captain: "Yes, Captain, we will go back first. We need to get up early tomorrow."

The captain had indeed enjoyed himself today, both eating and drinking. When he heard his favorites were leaving, he stood up and said, "Well, it's really getting late. You should go back and rest early!"

In this way, the team leader and his aunt sent Lin Sitian and his sister to the door. Zhou Tingfeng also found his own flashlight and lent it to Lin Zhiqiang, for fear that the brother and sister would fall on the way.

The brother and sister walked slowly towards the Youth League Home in the light of the flashlight borrowed from the team leader's family, chatting as they walked.

On the other side, Zhou Tinghao finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, only to find that Bai Noodle and the others had gone back. When he found that his friends were not in the living room, he wanted to turn around and leave to wash up and go to bed.

As a result, just as he turned around, his mother's unquestionable voice came: "Zhou Tinghao, come here, sit down, let's talk for a while."

After hearing his mother's serious voice, Zhou Tinghao instinctively felt that it must be related to the time when he put spare ribs in the white dough while eating, so he went to the table and sat on the chair a little reluctantly.

Sure enough, after he sat down on the chair, he heard his mother say, "I like Xiaolin Zhiqing very much. You two brothers are both single now, so one of you must bring Xiaolin Zhiqing to my house to be my daughter-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhou Tingfeng subconsciously looked at his resentful brother and said to his dear mother:

"This doesn't seem to be my business. Can I go wash up and go to bed first?"

How could Aunt Zhou not understand the meaning of her eldest son's words? Looking at her youngest son who did not express his opinion nor refuse, she smiled and said, "Okay, then go wash up and go to bed first."

When Zhou Tinghao heard that his elder brother could go to rest first, he said anxiously: "When can I leave? I also want to rest and sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow!"

Aunt Zhou asked meaningfully after hearing this: "Do you like Xiaolin, the educated youth? Can you let her be my daughter-in-law?"

When Zhou Tinghao heard this, he didn't refuse directly. Instead, he stood up, looked at his mother in shock and said, "Mom, are you okay? The girl is only sixteen years old. I, your youngest son, am 21 years old now!!! Five years older than that educated youth Xiao Lin you mentioned!!"

Mother Zhou said nonchalantly, "Oh, I see. You are five years older than Lin Zhiqing. No wonder you call her Little Sister Lin (/(°∞°)\).

Your aunt is 5 years younger than your uncle, and your neighbor Aunt Wang is 6 years younger than your Uncle Wang, yet they still have such a good relationship.

But I don't care about you. If you think you are older than others, forget it. There are other people in our team who are older than you who are targeting them anyway."

Mother Zhou deliberately said these words and then stood up and said to her old man, "Alright, you're still holding that bottle of wine there. You still want to drink, right? You have to get up early tomorrow to take care of the autumn harvest. Why don't you get some rest?"

The captain actually didn't want to drink anymore, he just wanted to hear his youngest son's attitude towards Lin Zhiqing. Now, listening to his youngest son's words and seeing his attitude, it seemed that he did have no feelings for Lin Zhiqing at all, but he just hadn't realized it yet.

Now, when he heard his wife telling him to go wash up and rest, he happily followed his wife, holding the bottle of wine.

Zhou Tinghao was left sitting in the living room, lost in thought.
