Chapter 881: Conversation at the dinner table (2)
Zhou Yunting's words really annoyed Old Zhou.
He coughed and glared at Zhou Yunting in dissatisfaction, "How dare you talk about your own son like that.
What's wrong with Mingxuan? I think he's fine.
Especially after spending more than a year in the countryside, I have made a lot of progress.”
Zhou Mingxuan was not angry even though he was ridiculed by his father.
Besides, his entire mind was now occupied by the fact that his mother was looking for a partner for Liu Jingxue, so he had no mood to pay attention to what his father said.
Seeing that his father and grandfather had strayed from the topic, he quickly brought it back.
He didn't care about eating. He stared at his mother and said seriously,
"Mom, I'm serious. Please stop arranging a date for Xiaoxue."
Wu Yunshang was very puzzled, "Your grandpa wrote to me specifically and asked me to help find a partner for Xiaoxue.
He also said that this was entrusted to him by Xiaoxue's uncle and aunt.
You just said that Xiaoxue hasn't found a partner yet, so why don't you let me find one for her?"
"Are you jealous? Mom is arranging a date for Xiaoxue and has ignored you.
You are blaming mom wrongly. When I asked people to find out about high-quality gay men, I also asked people to find out about pretty girls.
Mom cares about others, how could she really not care about you?
But you have always been a picky person. All the girls that Mom knew before were all criticized by you and you found a lot of faults with them.
Mom will have to find someone else to take care of things for you.
Don't worry, Mom will pay more attention to your situation than finding a date for Xiaoxue, and will definitely find you someone you like." Wu Yunshang comforted Zhou Mingxuan, worried that he would be jealous.
It would have been better if she didn't comfort him, but after she comforted him, Zhou Mingxuan felt a mixture of emotions.
He complained in his heart, "Mom, how much can you not bear to see your son do well.
I haven't even started pursuing Xiaoxue yet, but you've already started looking for partners for Xiaoxue and your son."
He couldn't help but feel regretful. After knowing that his grandfather had written a letter to his mother asking her to help find a partner for Xiaoxue, he immediately called back to stop it.
These days since he came back, he has been busy showing off outside and has forgotten about this matter.
Zhou Mingxuan is now very fortunate that her mother has not found a suitable one yet, otherwise she would have to introduce both parties.
"Mom, please stop looking for a partner for me and Xiaoxue.
Don't worry about my affairs.
As for Xiaoxue, she is not in a hurry to find a partner. It is probably Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu who brought up this matter without telling her."
Wu Yunshang was stunned at first, then said nonchalantly,
“Even if they hid it from Xiaoxue, it’s not a big deal. After all, it’s not done yet, and they can’t tell Xiaoxue first.
At least I have to find a suitable candidate first, and then talk to Xiaoxue.
The little girl is shy, if I tell her in advance, she will definitely disagree. "
"Besides, this candidate must be reviewed by your Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu first. Only after they feel that the candidate is suitable can they be introduced to Xiaoxue.
As for Xiaoxue not being in a hurry to find a partner, how do you know? She can't possibly tell you.
She will turn 19 in the second half of this year, which means she is 20 years old in lunar age, and it is time for her to find a partner.
Your uncle Liu and aunt Liu are in a special situation now, so they can't do anything about it.
They came to me through your grandfather, so I have to take care of Xiaoxue.
After all, the friendship between the two families lies here.”
In Wu Yunshang's opinion, since they have opened the door, they must naturally get things done.
Not to mention the relationship between the two families, she also likes Xiaoxue very much.
Although they had never met, the letters written by her father, the things she had sent before, and the things she occasionally asked Zhou Mingxuan to send after Zhou Mingxuan passed away, all revealed that she was a sensible and polite girl.
Thinking of this, Wu Yunshang looked at Zhou Mingxuan again. Even though this kid went there to look after it himself and would send some bacon and mountain products from time to time, she knew that if Xiaoxue hadn't prepared it first and reminded her, this kid would probably not have remembered it at all.
How could she not know the temper of her own child? It's up to him alone, and she doesn't know when he will remember this.
What's more, the ginseng wine Xiaoxue made in the past two years, not to mention her father, her father-in-law, husband, and two brothers-in-law all benefited greatly from it and their health improved a lot.
It is said that when a person is gone, the tea becomes cold. But with Old Man Zhou as the pillar of the family and the second generation of the Zhou family in good health, the good days of the Zhou family are still to come.
The Zhou and Wu families were greatly grateful to others.
Since she has accepted the other person's favor, now that the other person needs help, she has to help with all her strength.
"Mom, I told you not to find a partner for Xiaoxue and me, and you just did as I told you. Why is it that you don't understand?" Zhou Mingxuan was a little angry. He put down the chopsticks a little heavily, and there was a "pop" sound.
Wu Yunshang was startled by the tone of Zhou Mingxuan's voice and the noise he made.
She looked at Zhou Mingxuan with some confusion, not knowing why he was losing his temper when they were talking nicely to each other.
Could it be that this child had a conflict with Xiaoxue?
Seeing Zhou Mingxuan like this, Zhou Yunting got angry and shouted, "Zhou Mingxuan, what are you doing? How can you talk to your mother like this?"
Seeing his father angry, Zhou Mingxuan was a little scared.
In this family he is not afraid of his mother or grandfather, but he is still a little scared of his father.
He quickly looked at Mr. Zhou, wanting him to save him, but found that Mr. Zhou was also looking at him with disapproval.
Zhou Mingxuan knew something was wrong. Even though the old man spoiled him on weekdays, he was still very strict with himself when it came to some issues of principle.
If both the old man and my father get angry, my mother, who always responds to my requests, won't be able to save me.
In order to save himself, Zhou Mingxuan had no choice but to tell the truth.
He deliberately looked at Mr. Zhou with an aggrieved look on his face, "Grandpa, you don't care about my mother.
She is about to introduce your future granddaughter-in-law to someone else.
He even introduced me to someone, which clearly shows that he wants to break us up."
Zhou Mingxuan's sudden action almost caused the food in Old Zhou's mouth to spit out. He quickly turned his head to the side, and the food sprayed onto the ground beside him.
Without bothering to wipe the stains off his mouth, Mr. Zhou stared at Zhou Mingxuan and asked anxiously,
"Mingxuan, what did you just say, my granddaughter-in-law, who is my granddaughter-in-law?"
Zhou Mingxuan said to Zhou Lao with a shy face, "Grandpa, do you think Xiaoxue is okay?"
"Well, how could it be bad? There is no better girl than Xiaoxue." Mr. Zhou said firmly.
"Then tell me, do you think it's okay to marry her home and make her your granddaughter-in-law?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou laughed out loud, "Okay, of course it's impossible.
If you really marry Xiaoxue, our Zhou family will be very happy.”
When Wu Yunshang heard this, she quickly asked, "Mingxuan, are you and Xiaoxue dating?
But that's not right, if you two were dating, why would your grandpa ask me to find a date for Xiaoxue?"
Her eyes lit up, "Could it be that you two started dating after your grandfather wrote to me?"
