Lin Youliang: "We are so lucky. Xiaoxiao can make even simple vegetables taste so delicious."

Lin Xiaoxiao was naturally happy that her cooking skills received such positive feedback.

"If you like it, eat more. It's a rare treat to have braised pork."

Lin Wenyuan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I also bought White Rabbit milk candy and sponge cake today. You can eat them whenever you want."

Lin Youliang: "We won't eat it, you can keep it for yourself."

Li Xiuqin agreed: "Yes, your dad and I don't like to eat it, so we'll save it for you guys."

Lin Wenyuan: "Everyone eats."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, we should eat together. We bought it so that everyone can eat it."

Seeing what they wanted to say, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Just listen to me."

Lin Wenyuan: "Mom and Dad, let's listen to Xiaoxiao. She bought it specially."

Lin Youliang and Li Xiuqin exchanged a glance. Since the whole family was thinking of each other, they could only smile and agree.

Lin Xiaoxiao was finally satisfied: "By the way, you're not working today, where did you all go?"

Lin Youliang: "I went up the mountain to chop firewood. Winter is coming soon, so I'm stocking up on firewood."

Lin Wenyuan: "It's cold in winter, so we need more firewood."

Li Xiuqin: "Mom went to Aunt Chunhong's house to ask about your brother!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, being gossipy, asked, "How was it?"

Others looked over as well. Li Xiuqin said, "Last time I went to ask her to look out for suitable families. Today when I went to her, she said that there are suitable families in my hometown and other brigades."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Does that mean arranging for my brother to meet with them directly?"

Li Xiuqin: "Yes, I'll take your brother to meet him then."

Lin Wenyuan: "Mom, isn't this too fast?"

Lin Youliang: "No, you should get married soon."

Li Xiuqin: "Hmm, let's go take a look first, and then decide if it's suitable. Your Aunt Chunhua said that both families' daughters are good, hardworking and capable, and good at managing a household."

Lin Youliang nodded: "You take him with you then."

Li Xiuqin: "If you have no objections, I'll talk to your Aunt Chunhua tomorrow and arrange a time for you two to meet."

Lin Wenyuan said helplessly, "It's up to you. You decide."

Li Xiuqin: "Then I'll go tomorrow."

After the meal, Lin's mother looked at the remaining pound of marinated lean meat in the kitchen and asked, "Xiaoxiao, is the money and coupons I gave you enough? Why did you buy so much?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "That's enough."

Li Xiuqin: "Did you pay for it yourself? Mom has some money, I'll get it back for you."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "No need, I have enough money. I haven't even used up the money you gave me to buy things last time."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Wenyuan usually have some pocket money. Their parents are quite open-minded and allow them to keep some money on them.

The original owner did have some pocket money, which he saved for occasional trips to the county town.

The sugar and pork belly were taken from the space, and there was still extra money and tickets given by Lin's mother, which could be saved for later use.

Li Xiuqin: "If you don't have enough, just ask me for more."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, Mom."

In this day and age, it's truly rare to have parents like these.

However, the original owner lived up to expectations, excelling in both studies and work.

Time flies, and a month has passed. Recently, Lin Shuxue has rarely come to see her, which makes Lin Xiaoxiao a little suspicious.

"Xiao Qi, is there something going on between the female lead and the male lead?"

Hearing the call, Xiao Qi returned from next door, checked around, and said, "The host is right, they're chatting and laughing right now!"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and smiled: "This guy values ​​women more than friends!"

Xiao Qi: "Host, you can also find someone to date."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I haven't met the right one."

Xiao Qi: "Then you can wait a little longer."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "How have things been between you and Huahua lately?"

Xiao Qi blushed a little when she heard this: "We play together every day."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You've improved!"

Xiao Qi: "We're still pretty slow!"

Lin Xiaoxiao teased, "Are you guys a pure love system?"

Xiao Qi: "The system doesn't have a specific gender; dating is just data exchange."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Does the system have a love life?"

Xiao Qi: "Of course."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "That's pretty high-class. Good luck to you too, and I wish you find your other half soon."

Xiao Qi: "Thank you, host."

After dismissing the system, Lin Xiaoxiao went about her work, occasionally making herself a cup of tea and reading a book.

Last time, Lin Xiaoxiao's brother went to a matchmaker's house and ended up falling for the daughter of his grandmother's family. The two are now discussing marriage.

The wedding is scheduled for after the spring, and the family will begin preparations for the joyous occasion.

Li Xiuqin: "By the way, last time I took your brother there to look at potential partners, we ran into the Li family who were engaged to Xiaoxiao as children."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "And then?"

Li Xiuqin: "Then they asked you about it, and they still remembered it!"

Lin Youliang: "Have you inquired about their current situation?"

Li Xiuqin: "I only asked my mother about it after I finished dealing with Wenyuan's matter."

Lin Youliang: "What do you mean?"

Li Xiuqin: "The Li family has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is already married and has two children, and the daughter is also married. Only the youngest son is not yet married."

Lin Youliang: "Is your youngest son the one who was betrothed to Xiaoxiao when they were children?"

Li Xiuqin looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Yes, his name is Li Qingyue. He is one year older than Xiaoxiao and is also a high school graduate. He found a job in a factory in the county town through connections."

Lin Youliang: "These conditions sound pretty good."

Lin Wenyuan: "Yes, it's so hard to find a job in the county town!"

Li Xiuqin nodded: "The conditions sound like they're a good match for Xiaoxiao, and I've heard from the villagers that Li Qingyue is also good-looking."

Lin Youliang: "Just graduating from high school gave me something in common with Xiaoxiao, but I don't know what kind of person she is?"

Li Xiuqin asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "How is it? Do you want to meet her?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought it sounded alright, but added, "Brother isn't married yet."

Lin Youliang: "It'll be soon. The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and we'll get married next spring."

Lin Wenyuan: "Xiaoxiao, you can meet them too, you can meet more people anyway."

Li Xiuqin nodded: "If this one doesn't work out, we'll look at the next one. There's no rush to get married; we can be selective."

Lin Youliang: "Yes, you have to choose a good one carefully. You can't be careless when it comes to marriage."

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, let's meet them then."

Li Xiuqin: "When you go to your maternal grandmother's house for the Chinese New Year, you can take a look and then make arrangements after that."

Lin Xiaoxiao casually replied, "Okay."

On the last day of work before the New Year, Lin Shuxue came to find Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, tomorrow is the start of the holiday. My mom and I are going to buy New Year's goods. Do you want to come?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I went."

Lin Shuxue: "Then let's go together, it'll be good to have company."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "You haven't been coming to my place much lately?"

Lin Shuxue's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Tell me what happened?"

Lin Shuxue: "It's nothing, I've just been quite busy lately!"
