Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 144 - 145 Celebrating a Grand Birthday
Chapter 144 -145 Celebrating a Grand Birthday
“Xu Ying specially bought a turtle and made Grandpa Xu a pot of turtle soup.”
“Turtles are known as one of the animals with the longest lifespans, which symbolizes longevity.”
“There are quite a few members in the Xu Family; just in Xu Ying’s household alone, there are already eight people, and that’s even with Xu Shengwu not having returned yet.”
“In addition to the second and third branches of the Xu Family, there were also people from Eldest Aunt Xu and Xu Xiaogu’s families.”
“Thankfully, rural courtyards are large; otherwise, not everyone would fit in a single courtyard.”
“With over thirty people gathered together, it was quite lively.”
“Usually, Grandma Xu always kept a stern face, but today she seemed more relaxed, with joy showing in the corners of her eyes.”
“The elderly had no other wishes but to hope that in their old age, their children would still accompany them.”
“Grandpa Xu was even more delighted, especially when he smelled the dishes his granddaughter had cooked; it was simply delightful.”
“Eldest Aunt Xu had previously doubted Xu Ying’s cooking skills, but ever since the duck dishes became popular in the county, she realized just how talented her niece was after trying them.”
“Now smelling the delicious aroma from the dining table, she was even more admiring.”
“Her sister-in-law was right, Xu Ying truly had a gift.”
“Rulan, Ruhua, eat more, see how your niece’s cooking is,” Grandpa Xu said, visibly more talkative as he looked at his two daughters and smiled.
“Good, so delicious,” Xu Rulan’s husband, Zheng Xue Nong, couldn’t help but praise.
“Xu Rulan, hearing this, was smug as if she had cooked the food herself.”
“That’s right, it’s the excellent genes of our Xu Family, that’s why the food tastes so good.”
“Mrs. Xu, hearing this, curled her lips; the so-called excellent genes of the Xu Family were nothing, it was clearly because she was capable and had a talented daughter.”
“That’s right, but besides our Xu Family’s good genes, it’s also my sister-in-law’s capability, just look at the children she has given birth to; each one is more impressive than the last.”
“Especially our Xu Ying, I’ve heard from your Third Uncle, are you now working two jobs?” Xu Ruhua asked curiously.
“Speaking of which, Xu Rulan was also curious, eating her meal and looking at Xu Ying, eager to know what was going on.”
“Xu Ying, with a humble expression, was about to speak.”
“Mrs. Xu couldn’t hold back her boasting; she waved her hands: “It’s not something big, it’s just that my daughter has made a type of duck product, which, I’ve heard, is very popular in the county.”
“Wasn’t there some kind of salted duck sold abroad? My daughter’s duck products are delicious too, and the food factory manager noticed them and said they might also be sold internationally.”
“Then he stated that my daughter was underutilizing her talents working at the State-owned Restaurant and wanted my daughter to work at the food factory.”
“But my daughter likes cooking for others, and couldn’t bear to leave the State-owned Restaurant; of course, the manager recognized my daughter’s talent, so he insisted she work part-time at his factory.”
“They’d pay her a full-time salary, and she’d only need to come up with new products each month.”
“Mrs. Xu didn’t even know about the bonuses and commissions yet; just the thought of her daughter earning around one hundred and ten yuan a month made her overjoyed.”
“Xu Rulan and Xu Ruhua were shocked, “Can it really be like this?”
“Then Yingying’s monthly salary must be around one hundred and ten yuan?” Xu Ruhua was extremely envious.
“She and her husband were just scraping by earning work points to fill their stomachs, and luckily their area had mountains rich with wild game and mushrooms and wild vegetables to gather.”
“Xujia Village was also near mountains, but compared to the mountains near Xu Ruhua’s husband’s place, it was like the great witch encountering a minor witch; there was no comparison.”
“About that,” Mr. Xu replied, beaming with the pride of an old father.”
“Xu Da was also very excited, “My little sister is pretty, capable, and who knows which lucky guy will benefit from marrying her in the future.”
As soon as the topic was brought up, everyone started getting curious about Xu Ying’s marriage.
Xu Ying looked embarrassed and stealthily glared at her elder brother.
Xu, with a clueless expression, did not understand how he had managed to make his little sister angry.
“Eldest sister-in-law, our Yingying is so outstanding, wouldn’t she find a man from the city in the future?” Xu Rulan said.
Xu Ruhua also expressed her opinion, “I think finding someone who truly loves her is enough.
As long as the man is willing to work, that’s better than anything.”
Xu Ruhua married her husband for love, though his family was poor and lived quite remotely, but she chose to marry him without hesitation.
Life after marriage was hard, but her husband was good to her and capable, so she was happy despite the hardships.
Grandma Xu and her daughter shared the same views, she and Grandpa Xu also married for love and had a good life, so they did not care much about it.
Mr. Xu cleared his throat, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, he said, “What do you think about Huo Chen?”
Upon hearing this, the Xu Family members were all shocked.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Third Uncle Xu even cried out, “Big brother, have you lost your mind? That’s a wolf cub, you want to marry off my niece to him.
He’s so violent, what if he hits my niece, and when the time comes we couldn’t beat him even if we joined forces!”
Uncle Xu was also shocked, but his concerns differed from his younger brother’s. Nowadays, it’s a new society and hitting people is illegal.
And though Huo Chen had hit people before, it was only to protect Granny Huo.
That guy wouldn’t hit people without reason, he was merely defending himself.
But this youngster did look quite fierce and was so tall, as he towered above others, while our niece seemed petite and pitiful by comparison, it felt odd thinking about them together.
The piece of braised pork Xu Ying had just put in her mouth, upon hearing her father’s words, scared her so much that she swallowed it without chewing, nearly choking herself to death.
Thinking of Huo Chen, her expression turned strange—were she and Huo Chen a good match?
He was handsome and tall, and importantly, not short on money, although she was not lacking either, but she had not thought about dating.
She was what would be called a marriage free advocate in the future, having a child might be okay, but marriage, maybe not.
She did not want to date, nor get hurt.
“Dad, don’t spout nonsense, Huo Chen and I are not suitable.”
Mr. Xu, upon hearing this, was displeased, “Why aren’t you two suitable? Both your mom and I think he’s quite good, Huo Chen is from our village too.
If you were to marry him, you’d be close to home, and if ever bullied, your several brothers and I can immediately rush over.
Plus, I think Huo Chen is quite a decent young man, he’s earning a lot of money now, several yuan a day, amounts to a few hundred in a month.
Have you seen the new house he’s building? A neat two-story house; none in our village has as much money as his family.”
Xu Ying resisted fiercely, “I don’t want to get married or date, I think staying beside mom and dad is good.”
Mr. Xu, upon hearing this, immediately looked towards his wife, he guessed right.
His daughter was abnormal regarding emotions, what she said before about not marrying was not to coddle them but was serious.
Mrs. Xu was also taken aback and quickly said, “How could you not get married? If you want to stay with your dad and me, marrying Huo Chen is the best choice.
Our two families are so close, you could be with us every day.”
Xu Rulan and Xu Ruhua were initially ready to give their niece some advice on recognizing the true nature of men, but hearing their niece say she did not want to get married, they too were taken aback.
