Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

"A girl's fate is like that of a rapeseed. If you sow it in fertile soil, it might grow thin; if you sow it in fertile soil, it might grow fat."

"If you really don't want to, I can't force you. As long as you don't blame me if things go wrong in the future, that's fine."

Gu Shuhe hummed in agreement.

Zhong Meixian then said to Wu Guifang, "Please tell them that this child is very difficult to deal with, so let's just let it go."

Wu Guifang waved her hand, "There's nothing we can do if they don't like it. It's okay, I'll talk to them."

"Alright, then we'll be going now."

Since she disagreed, Zhong Meixian simply led the people away without going inside to say goodbye.

Shi Bin and his mother sat in the main room, watching Zhong Meixian and the others leave directly, realizing that Gu Shuhe hadn't taken a liking to him.

But Shi Bin had truly fallen for Gu Shuhe.

So when Wu Guifang saw Gu Shuhe and the others off and came back, she told her mother, "Her mother thinks highly of Xiaobin, but the young girl doesn't think much of him."

Shi Bin immediately grasped Wu Guifang's hand, "Cousin, please put in a good word for me. Our family can agree to any conditions."

When Shi Bin's mother saw her son say this, she smiled and said, "Yes, Gui Fang, please help out and put in a good word for me."

“We really like this girl. As long as she’s willing to be with our Xiaobin, we’ll agree to anything.”

Wu Guifang could only say, "Then I'll ask around for you later."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of it."

"Hey, what are you saying? We're all family."

With that, Shi Bin and the others got up to leave.

Wu Guifang invited them to stay for dinner, but they declined and rode away on their bicycles.

Before leaving, Shi Bin reminded Wu Guifang, "Cousin, please be sure to ask again for me!"

Wu Guifang nodded, "Yes, definitely!"

Zhong Meixian and the others had arrived home long ago.

Gu Juyuan asked what was going on, and Zhong Meixian said, "I didn't like her because I thought she was ugly."

"Is it that ugly?" Gu Juyuan asked curiously.

Furthermore, how did Wu Guifang end up introducing such an ugly person to their family?

Zhong Meixian retorted irritably, "Even if I'm ugly, I'm not as ugly as you."

Gu Juyuan “…”

Then Zhong Meixian started muttering, "She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she's fair-skinned. How is she ugly?"

"Your daughter insists on complaining about the big mole on someone's face."

"How big is the mole?" Gu Juyuan asked.

Zhong Meixian was almost driven mad by him, but she still pointed to her chin and said, "Right here, there's a mole."

Gu Juyuan said, "That's called being blessed."

Before Zhong Meixian could nod, Wen Tang said, "Dad, this is called feudal superstition."

Gu Juyuan “…”

“It’s true, I’ve seen quite a few people with moles on their chins, and they’re all very lucky,” Gu Juyuan still firmly believed in this.

Gu Shuhe pouted and said, "He doesn't just have a mole on his chin, he's also not tall," Gu Shuhe said, raising her hand to show, "He's only a little bit taller than me."

Gu Juyuan replied, "If I'm taller than you, then I'm not short!"

Gu Shuhe “…”

Wen Tang "..."

999 (6 flipped!)

Gu Shuhe didn't want to say anything more, so she stomped her foot and turned to go back into the house.

Gu Juyuan said to Zhong Meixian, "Why didn't you try to persuade her?"

"It's hard to find someone with a job and decent looks, even with a lantern."

Zhong Meixian didn't speak, but Wen Tang had already said, "If Shuhe is looking for it, it's actually quite easy to find even if you're blindfolded."

After saying that, Wen Tang stopped looking for trouble and ran off, saying, "I'm going to check out the workshop, tidy it up, so we can get to work tomorrow."

Zhong Meixian sighed, "You think it's good, I think it's good, but it's not like I'm living the life with you, what's the point?"

Gu Juyuan then said, "That's right."

Zhong Meixian glared at him directly.

I feel like talking to him is like talking nonsense.

Zhong Meixian walked towards the kitchen. "Cooking is a waste of time with you."

Gu Juyuan “…”

Because of Gu Shuhe's blind date, the factory started work on the 18th.

With a series of crackling firecrackers, the factory officially resumed operations after the New Year.

After production started, everyone was busy producing soap every day.

After Director Wang returned to work, Wen Tang bought some gifts and went to wish him a Happy New Year.

Then I went to the county town to order some cardboard boxes and packaging paper.

After finishing all the odds and ends, the first month of the lunar calendar was over.

Wu Guifang told Zhong Meixian what Shi Bin had said when she came to work that day.

Zhong Meixian sighed, "That stubborn girl won't listen. She insists that the child isn't a good match. Otherwise, he would be such a perfect child."

These words were a veiled rejection, which Wu Guifang understood, but she didn't say much. She hadn't really expected to succeed anyway; she was just asking because someone had told her to, otherwise, it might be difficult to say what would happen if they met again.

No one mentioned it again after that, but unexpectedly, Shi Bin came looking for them again after the first month of the lunar calendar, carrying some things.

He went to Wu Guifang's house, but no one was home. He was led to the Gu family's house by someone who told him that Wu Guifang was now working for the Gu family.

Shi Bin asked curiously, "Work?"

The other person nodded. "Why make soap?"

Shi Bin thought he had misheard and didn't pay any attention.

Until we reached the outside of that new house...

Looking at the new red brick house, Shi Bin paused for a moment. "Is this the Gu family's house?"

"Yes, this is the Gu family's house. This kind of house is unique in our area, so it's easy to recognize."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Auntie."

The other person waved and left.

Shi Bin raised his hand and knocked on the door. Chi Yue opened the door.

There's nothing I can do; she's the only one with nothing to do at home now.

Even Zhong Meixian went out to collect clams.

Zhong Meixian not only harvests clams, but also brings back a bagful of shepherd's purse every time she comes back, as she is thriving at this time of year.

Outside, the willows were swaying gently, and the spring scenery was just right. If it weren't for the strong wind today, Chi Yue would have carried the child and followed Zhong Meixian outside.

This will also allow Jiajia to spend more time in nature.

In that case, Shi Bin will still have a chance to knock on his door!

Nowadays, everyone is busy working in the two rooms on the west side of the courtyard, and few people pay attention to the courtyard gate.

Chi Yue knew Shi Bin, but after a slight pause, she still asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Shi Bin asked with a smile, "Is this the Gu family?"

Chi Yue nodded.

He said, "I'll go find Wu Guifang; she's my cousin."

He didn't mention that he was Gu Shuhe's friend, which is why Chi Yue agreed to call for him. "Oh, I'll call for you."

Chi Yue went in and called Wu Guifang out, and told her who had come to see her.

Wu Guifang was surprised, "Why is he here?"

Chi Yue shook her head.

Wu Guifang walked out quickly, her surprise gone. "Xiao Bin, what brings you here?" Wu Guifang asked with a smile as soon as she saw him.

Shi Bin grinned from ear to ear, "Sister!"

He handed the things he was carrying to Wu Guifang, saying, "I'm off today, and since I didn't have anything to do, I thought I'd come and see you."

“I went to your house, but no one was home. I asked around, and someone said you were here, so they brought me here.”

Wu Guifang didn't hide anything from him, saying, "Yes, I work here."

"Come in and sit down for a while!"

"I'll get you some water."

Shi Bin said, "No need to bother," but still stepped into the yard.
