Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 567 - 67: Aunt, It’s Better Not to Get Married
July 1976.
This year, Shi Suifeng still hasn’t returned.
After his three-year training period ended, he was directly transferred to a certain unit in Beijing, and during this time, he also undertook several missions. But this time, everything was kept strictly confidential, and even family members were not allowed to freely enter the military district.
It’s been six years since they last saw each other.
The children at home have long had vague impressions of this uncle, but for some reason, even though there were no blood relations, Chu River still remembers every little detail about him.
In fact, her feelings for Shi Suifeng haven’t changed one bit.
Occasionally when reflecting late at night, Chu River even feels that this state of separation is only natural and not worth mentioning much.
No need to miss him, no need to worry, just need to wait.
He won’t leave for sure.
With this assured thought, Chu River contentedly falls back to sleep.
She thought to herself—
I really am a long-lasting and nostalgic person! What outstanding character!
...
At the same time, this year, Chu River also turned 22.
In this era, a 22-year-old girl could already be considered for marriage. In quick succession, she could already have two or three kids.
And as a well-known precious girl in the vicinity, she could only helplessly lie back in her rocking chair, directing a few little ones:
"You guys shouldn’t study all the time, hurry up and help me think of how to refuse this thing."
She casually picked up a small dried fish - oily and crispy, one that could be crumbled with a single bite.
Da Dan had just picked a basket of green beans from the vegetable garden, and adeptly placed the beans in front of Gu An before resuming mixing the green plums in the large bowl before him.
The chili powder was being poured in lavishly, yet he sighed:
"How do we solve this? One goes, another comes—they all think, Aunt, that you are capable, are a good-natured aunt..."
Chu He glared at him: "What do you mean they think? I really am! Without me, could this household run as smoothly as it does now?"
Da Dan kept silent.
Yun Baoni had just chopped up a pile of vegetable scraps to feed the chickens and had walked over from the backyard when she overheard her aunt’s words, unable to resist closing her eyes:
"Aunt, you are right!"
To close her eyes was to stifle her conscience!
She struggled and said, "But if you want a once-and-for-all solution, maybe it’s best to tell everyone you can’t do any of the housework. Otherwise, there are plenty of people with discerning eyes who will just fall in love with you."
There is something... weird about these words?
Chu River touched her already fair and smooth cheeks and modestly agreed.
...
Over the past six years, not only had her skin not darkened, but she also shot up in height.
The clothes Daya made earlier for her at 1.7 meters could just fit her. It’s a pity the first set of clothes got ruined and couldn’t be worn anymore, just a waste of effort from back then.
What she’s wearing now is the newly made clothes this year.
Chu River let out a long sigh:
"Alas, beauty truly is an original sin."
Gu Ping was just carrying two buckets of water from the water pump towards the kitchen. He had grown up and his strength increased, so fetching water wasn’t as difficult as before, easily carrying it by hand.
But this also made him not able to keep his mouth shut.
He endured and endured, yet he couldn’t resist adding a sentence:
"Aunt, just look at Da Dan and Daya as you know, your family genes are just like this, can only be described as suave, not beautiful to that extent."
Chu River glanced at him gently:
"Gu Ping, do you know why you’re not well-liked? It’s because some things that shouldn’t be spoken, you insist on saying."
Gu Ping furrowed his brows, vaguely recalling the familiar words.
The young man held his breath, carrying two buckets into the kitchen.
Gu An, next to him, was snapping beans with expertise and speed, upon seeing this he couldn’t help but chuckle secretly—
His brother was basically at the bottom of the food chain at home!
Obviously unable to compete with anyone, yet still unable to hold that mouth shut.
...
But after all this talk, Chu River’s matchmaking problem still could not find a permanent solution.
Da Dan, with eyes closed, stirring the green plums with a stick and spicy chili powder, sighed:
"Aunt, don’t overthink it. You look at this situation at home now, and you say you’re not good-natured, no one would believe it."
This was the fatal problem.
When uncle left, they were all still young, but so many years have passed in a flash, and the house remains as booming and well-managed as ever.
Everyone knows, it was Aunt’s good nature that has raised so many kids so well!
