 Chapter 543. He seems interested in you

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't go over that side to eat this New Year's Eve.

That was because Father Weng and Mother Weng was joining their table with Weng Guo Dong and Weng Mei Jia. Lin Qing He told Gang Zi and Second to eat with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. Eldest and Third stayed. In additon, Zhou Si Ni was called over. Zhou San Ni, Li Ai Guo, and the others went to their grandparents. There was no worries about the liveliness.

Weng Guo Dong carried a lot of things over. He came over in the afternoon.

Lin Qing He smiled: "This year's New Year's Eve dinner is lively. If it can be like this every year, it would be great."

"If you don't mind and they all come back next year, we will disturb you again." Mother Weng grinned.

"What is there to mind? It couldn't be any happier." Lin Qing He replied. Then she got Zhou Si Ni, Zhou Kai, and Zhou Gui Lai to help out.

"Look at Young Kai and his brother. They both know how to cook, while you can't even hold a spatula." Mother Weng directed at Weng Guo Dong.

Lin Qing He said: "Marry someone who can cook and it'll be fine. It's just cooking, a trivial matter."

"You taught well." Mother Weng remarked. However her gaze was on Zhou Si Ni, who was busying away with Zhou Kai and Zhou Gui Lai.

Zhou Si Ni was cutting up the vegetables. She was very quick and she ordered Zhou Kai: "The chicken is clean, I'll chop it."

Mother Weng understood that she was a girl who can live life. Then she took a look at her eldest son.

Weng Guo Dong was looking at Zhou Si Ni but didn't have much thought. The girl looked a little young.

Mother Weng knew her son’s character and her heart felt blocked.

Lin Qing He didn't pay any heed to this. Today she had called Si Ni for a look. She didn't have any thoughts in this aspect. She asked Weng Mei Jia: "Mei Jia, are you busy over there?"

"Sometimes there are some free time but in most cases, there are a lot of matter to do." Weng Mei Jia answered.

"No matter how busy you are outside, you must have your three meals a day on time. There are two pig's stomach at home. I plan to make a few more pig's stomach and chicken and get Eldest to send it over at that time." Lin Qing He said.

"There's no need to deliver it so far away. You guys can eat it. Or you can tell me in advance and I will come over and enjoy the food." Weng Mei Jia merrily responded.

"That's no problem. I will make it once on the third and the sixth. You will go back on the seventh, right?" Lin Qing He said.

"En." Weng Mei Jia nodded.

"Didn't you say that you can take a holiday until the tenth?" Weng Guo Dong asked.

"She can. At that, she have to go there by herself. It's fine to go back in advance with Young Kai." Mother Weng said.

She found her son particularly unpleasing now. How wonderful was Qing He's niece? She was at a tender age. Her work pace was particularly fast. She herself was very motivated. Not a wordy kind.

Mother Weng’s requirements for a daughter-in-law were particularly simple. It didn't mater where she came from. As long as her family wasn't too problematic and the girl was a sensible person it was enough. Whether she was poor or don't have capital's household, Mother Weng didn't care at all.

Anyway, her son can make money. His monthly salary was almost one hundred. It was said that it can increase again in the next year. Completely enough.

There was no problem on her side, however that wasn't the case on his side.

This can't do, that can't do. Mother Weng was extremely frustrated with her eldest son. This character was doomed to be alone.

"Si Ni, let's fry the meatballs again. The fishballs too." Lin Qing He said.

"I know." Zhou Si Ni responded as she worked away.

Weng Guo Dong looked at her. The girl was a swift worker. He understood what his mom means, but he really didn't feel anything.

Lin Qing He asked Mother Weng, "Are you planning to do it next year?"

Mother Weng grinned: "I told old Weng to look at the shops. When the time comes, rent it first and see how the business is."

"What business?" Weng Mei Jia didn't know yet.

"Next year, I will learn from your Auntie Lin and open a clothing store. It'll be on the street on our side." Mother Weng jollily explained.

Weng Mei Jia smiled: "That's not bad. But Mom, can you handle it?"

"I had went to your auntie Lin's side to study for a long time. How can I not handle? I know how to." Mother Weng said.

"Then it's a good idea. You got something to work on and won't be too bored." Weng Mei Jia grinned.

"That's right. Your dad and your brother aren't happy about it and want me to stay at home. My bones are almost harden." Mother Weng said.

"Don't plan to buy it?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Old Weng said to open and see first. If I'm not half-hearted, then he'll buy it for me." Mother Weng answered.

Father Weng was watching this year's edition of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" with Zhou Qing Bai. Indicating that he won't participate in this topic.

"Guo Dong, go and help." Mother Weng ordered her son.

"There are three people. And what can I help with?" Weng Guo Dong didn't move.

"It's fine to go over and pick vegetables." Mother Weng said with a calm face. Actually she called him to go over and interact with Si Ni.

Weng Guo Dong knew this. Although he felt helpless, he still went over.

"There's no need. There's three of us." Zhou Gui Lai cheerfully uttered. They didn't know why Weng Guo Dong came here.

"Third, you are the youngest. Come over here to watch TV. Let them busy away." Mother Weng said.

"I can't really. I'll break apart the dried bean curd with Brother Guo Dong." Zhou Gui Lai jollily said.

These are lovely in stewed dishes

The two of them broke the bean curd together. Zhou Gui Lai chattered, "Brother Guo Dong, you aren't young anymore. When will you marry?"

Weng Guo Dong: "..." 

Truly wherever he went, there would be someone who would bring this up. 

"Don't have such high requirements. Just find realistic person who can take care of the home. Just look at my sister Si Ni. That kind is the best." Zhou Gui Lai grinned.

Weng Guo Dong knew that he didn't know about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't say that. Still, he glanced at Zhou Si Ni.

Zhou Si Ni didn't lift her head. She was nimbly chopping the chicken and spoke, "Don't talk nonsense, San Wa."

"How am I talking nonsense? Sister Si Ni, you are so nice. Whoever marry you will be blessed in the future." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Only then, Zhou Si Ni swept him a glance. There was mirth in her eyes: "Glib-tongued. The more you grow up, the more dishonest you become."

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask my eldest brother." Zhou Gui Lai goofly grinned.

Zhou Xuan Kai didn't take it to heart but it was the honest truth. He spoke, "Sister Si Ni, will you marry into the capital in the future?"

"How can I possibly marry that well?" Zhou Si Ni laughed. She hadn't consider this aspect. She wanted to marry closer to home. After all, her second sister was married into the capital. One married so far away was enough.

"Isn't this underestimating oneself?" Zhou Gui Lai said. "Sister Er Ni can marry. Now that you are working so hard, how can you not be able to marry? I think Cheng Yang is a good choice. He seems to be interested in you."
