The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 177 - 173: The Regretful Xiao Family

The appearance of the new house made the father and son forget themselves with joy.

Especially Xiao Chenye, tomorrow he’s going to lead the team leader and family to Wen Ran’s house to make it official; the wedding can finally be set in stone.

In the afternoon, the team leader won’t even have to leave, he’ll just have lunch at the Xiao Family’s and then proceed to find a homestead.

Once the homestead is secured, it’s time to plan for the green bricks...

Hehehe~

Perfect.

They saw off the reluctant trio from the Xiao Family.

Once Wen Ran closed the door, she was hugged from behind by Hongguo.

Hongguo clung to Wen Ran’s shoulders, her legs wrapped around Wen Ran’s waist. "Sis~"

Wen Ran responded helplessly, "What’s wrong now?"

"Sis, you’re so good. You’re so good that I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you in this lifetime."

She grew up in the mountains from a young age, unfamiliar with the warmth and coldness of the outside world.

But her heart isn’t made of stone; she’s clear inside about who treats her well and who doesn’t.

Just like today, Sis said she’d live at home after marriage, boohoo, it must be because of her.

Bringing a sister along when getting married means getting criticized.

Wen Ran could guess some of Hongguo’s thoughts.

She admitted that Hongguo was indeed part of the reason.

But, at the end of the day, the Xiao Family truly doesn’t have enough space.

Also, the mud house’s soundproofing is just average.

Even through a wall, you can hear farts and snoring from the neighbors.

Once she’s married, she’ll definitely have a couple’s life.

If she loses control slightly at that time.

Oh~

Just imagining it is so embarrassing.

But in this place, it’s different. This mud house was built solidly, and there’s a hall between the two rooms.

The soundproofing will naturally be much better.

As long as she doesn’t go wild or lose herself, basically, no sound will be heard.

She initially didn’t plan for marriage, so the other room doesn’t have a kang bed...

So, before the green brick tile-roofed house is completed, does she still need to build a kang bed?

So troublesome.

Tsk~

If not, she’d better hurry up with the progress on the green brick tile-roofed house.

If the bed can be avoided, then don’t build it.

After comforting Hongguo for a bit, the sisters returned to the room and fell asleep.

Early the next day, Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, and Xiao Chenye got dressed up and went to Wen Ran’s house with the team leader to make it official.

Familiar faces gathered together; it’s both good and bad.

At least, the team leader couldn’t keep up with the pleasantries and only managed two sentences.

He slapped his thigh, "Oh my goodness, I can’t—this matchmaker’s words are just too funny, I really can’t say any of it.

Anyway, regarding your relationship, I agree wholeheartedly. So, when are you planning the wedding? Should we pick a date?"

After the team leader said all this, Mrs. Xiao laughed, "Wonderful, wonderful, this is just great. But we don’t need to rush picking a wedding date; I need to research it carefully."

This is about her son’s and daughter-in-law’s lifelong matter, can’t be careless at all.

After bathing and burning incense, she’ll pick meticulously. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"For now, let’s talk about some other serious matters."

Team leader: "?"

He was a bit confused, considering how much the Xiao Family valued Wen Ran, he couldn’t think of anything more important than marrying Wen Ran.

Mr. Xiao couldn’t hold back his chuckle, "Hahahahaha, here’s the thing: Shilan and I have worked hard for a lifetime.

Now, the kids have all grown up. Coincidentally, our house is also old and small. So, taking advantage of the double happiness, let’s build the house together."

The team leader’s eyes were about to pop out. He scratched his head, sighing, "Your family really has good luck. What kind do you plan to build this time?"

"Hehehe, the kids are promising. Yesterday, the old couple discussed with Chenguang and Chenye, and we’ve decided to build a green brick tile-roofed house!"

—(Xiao Chengguang: ??? What, my family is building a house and consulted me? I didn’t know, no one told me I should know?)

The team leader subconsciously assumed that the house was built with funds pooled by Xiao Chengguang and Xiao Chenye.

He was even more moved, "Old pal, just think, life was tough before, but now there’s hope, isn’t there?

Both sons are so accomplished, I envy you!"

This wasn’t a compliment; it was genuinely heartfelt.

In this era, where practically everyone is digging in the dirt, the Xiao Family had four sons. Although the eldest wasn’t much, his job is a cherished position in the team.

A worker!

The third son is in the military, not just a recruit, but a battalion commander! To reach that position at such a young age requires both brains and skills.

Then there’s the fifth son, a crafty one with countless friends outside, ask around the whole commune, who doesn’t know Xiao the Fifth?

Wow!

Even the team leader was feeling jealous.

Back on track, the team leader began discussing with the Xiao Family about the house placement.

When it came to deciding whether to demolish and rebuild on the original site or pick a new feng shui favorite place, everyone unanimously chose the latter.

"Even if we move quickly, the question still remains where we’ll live for a month or two in the meantime."

Mr. Xiao pondered for a moment, "Our team’s area is broad enough, finding a good place won’t be hard."

"Easy is easy, but the place will be quite remote."

The original congregation areas have already been built up.

"But there’s merit in being remote; let’s choose a remote location."

Remote means fewer people and naturally fewer issues.

The team leader couldn’t sit still and decisively, "We don’t have anything else today, let’s just go out and pick a place?"

"Sure."

Everyone agreed in unison, got up, and went out.

On the way, they met some busybodies who knew that the two families would meet today and came up to inquire.

Right then, the news about the Xiao Family wanting to build a house spread like wildfire through the Silly Deer Team.

Xiao’s old house.

Mrs. Xiao Sr. heard about it too. She paused while washing clothes, disdainfully, "Hmph, it’s just building a house, and they’re bragging like that.

You know my third son-in-law? He’s truly talented, he lives in a factory dormitory."

For farmers, getting into the factory is truly a blessing from our ancestors.

But in reality, living in a tube building isn’t as comfortable as living in the countryside.

In this acre and three points of land, seeds casually scattered grow strong and pleasing. But in the county, if you want a green onion, you need a food coupon.

Not to mention the shared washing space, squeezing to cook on small hallway stoves...

Indeed, who lives would know.

"Yo, boasting again, even if your third son-in-law is capable, what’s it got to do with you?" The visitor sneered, pursing their lips with a sarcastic tone, "I’m telling you, you’re just foolish.

If you’d been a bit better to your second child back then, things wouldn’t be like this now."
