Chapter 581: Chapter 581 No Need to Hide

Mrs. Zhao and Grandma Fang came out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing them, Zhao Xinxin immediately began to introduce them, "This is my aunt, and this is Grandma Fang."

Wang Jianguo hurriedly greeted them, "Auntie, hello, Grandma Fang, hello."

He almost followed Xinxin’s lead and called Mrs. Zhao ’aunt’ as well.

Grandma Fang was also seeing Wang Jianguo for the first time. He was quite good-looking and tall, even taller than Shitou.

Indeed, these northern lads tend to be taller than those from the south. What do they eat to grow so tall?

Though he wasn’t quite as handsome as Shitou, he did seem to match Xinxin quite well.

Mrs. Zhao was also taking a good look at her niece’s partner.

His looks, his height.

They were quite good.

She just didn’t know whether his family supported their dating.

Mrs. Zhao had been through it all herself.

And she had three sons.

She had even found wives for all three of them.

The wife of the eldest was someone she had arranged for him to meet.

The second son’s wife was his own choice.

As for Laosan’s wife, she was charmed by him the moment she arrived in the countryside.

Back then, there were Educated Youths who abandoned their husbands and children to leave.

She refused, but Laosan was persistent.

"Since you’re here, we’re about to have dinner."

Zhao Xinxin and Fang Meiyun hurried into the kitchen to help out, choosing not to eat in the main room but instead setting up in the courtyard where it was a bit cooler. They even brought out a fan and set it blowing towards the table.

Wang Jianguo was invited to sit down and noticed the dishes on the table.

There was meat, fish, even shrimp, along with Braised Pork Belly, cured meat, sausage, and some vegetables like eggplant, tofu, and green beans.

There were a good ten dishes in total, each quite hearty.

"You and Grandma Fang have worked hard to prepare such a large spread," he said.

You could say that, with the market now open, a lot of things didn’t require food stamps anymore, but many people were still reluctant to indulge.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat."

This was Wang Jianguo’s first visit. There were many people, but having everyone together for a meal made it especially lively.

Zhao Tianlei and Zhao Tianhe were pouring drinks for Wang Jianguo, intending to get him drunk.

None of the women were refusing outright.

Just watching them drink.

"I thought you would stop your second and third brothers from trying to get your partner drunk?"

Zhao Xinxin said with a smile, "There’s no avoiding it."

If she had stopped them, they would surely think she was being disloyal.

It was better not to stop them, not to interfere, and just let them be cheerful about it.

"Comrade Wang, how many people are there in your family?" asked Mrs. Zhao, fearing that Wang Jianguo might get too drunk to answer later. She decided to ask about his family while he was still sober.

"There are four of us in my family. I have an older sister, but she’s already married," Wang Jianguo replied without hiding anything, simply stating the number of family members.

There was no need to conceal it.

Besides, this aunt was Xinxin’s close aunt, and currently, Xinxin was living under the same roof as her cousin, her own brother.

"Your parents must still be quite young, right?"

Wang Jianguo confirmed, "They’re just over fifty, not retired yet."

The age wasn’t that advanced; they could still look after grandchildren in the future.

Actually, Mrs. Zhao wanted to know how much the dowry would be.

But for now, this young man was only her niece’s partner, not yet at the stage of discussing marriage.

Still, she inquired about other details of Wang Jianguo’s family situation.

Wang Jianguo didn’t hide any of it.

Yun Xiaoxiao watched the whole scene, her lips twitching a few times. This was practically a background check. No, more like investigating three generations back.
