Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: The Meeting

Yang Zhongyi smiled, "We don’t need to be so formal at home, I’m older than you. You call me Brother Yang and I’ll call you Chunhe."

"Alright, Brother Yang, have a seat while I cut the watermelon for us to eat a little." This generation difference was apparent.

Just as the two of them sat down to cut the watermelon, they heard a knock on the door. "That must be my brother-in-law."

Tao Chunhe opened the door, and it really was Li Manjiang.

"Chunhe, this is some wild greens my mom cooked for you to try."

Tao Chunhe took them, "Manjiang, why don’t you stay for dinner, we have friends visiting."

Li Manjiang looked at Yang Zhongyi who was approaching. Upon seeing each other, they immediately recognized their identities.

"Okay, I’ll come over later after informing my family."

"Alright."

At this time, Yang Zhongyi also reached the doorway. The two shook hands and introduced themselves.

"Mr. Yang, excuse me for a moment, let me inform my family first."

Yang Zhongyi smiled and agreed. After Li Manjiang left, the two sat down again.

"That’s the eldest son of Village Chief Li, who got engaged to my cousin a few days ago."

"Will they stay here?"

"You can see for yourself. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Manjiang will definitely stay with the army, and my cousin can follow him."

"Indeed, he looks like a capable person."

At this moment, Tao YanZhen brought out some millet and mung bean porridge to cool in the courtyard.

"Xiao Zhen, this is Yang Zhongyi, the youngest son of Grandpa Yang, stationed at the nearby military camp."

Tao YanZhen was familiar with these families, as it was part of her learning.

So when her brother mentioned it, she understood that this was the son born to Yang Jiu Long’s fourth wife.

She put down the basin, "Hello Mr. Yang, I’m Tao YanZhen, very pleased to meet you."

Yang Zhongyi realized she was the bride chosen by his family.

"Hello, Mr. Tao. I’m Yang Zhongyi."

"You continue chatting, I’ll go help my cousin with the fire, is that dish brought by Li Manjiang?"

"Yes, he’ll be back to join us for dinner later."

"Alright, I’ll go inform my cousin." Tao YanZhen smiled as she headed into the kitchen.

Yang Zhongyi watched the girl’s figure walking away, now finding no purpose in initiating a conversation as initially planned. Judging from their siblings’ behavior, they likely had no idea.

If he suddenly brought it up, they might think he’s strange.

Li Manjiang pushed the door open and came in. The three men sat in the courtyard eating watermelon and chatting.

The two soldiers naturally shared a common language. Tao Chunhe just smiled and listened beside them.

Tao YanZhen went into the kitchen to inform Wang Menglin that Yang Zhongyi had arrived, "Cousin, Li Manjiang will also join us for dinner."

"Yes, we have enough to eat. I actually prepared breakfast for tomorrow, and if necessary, we’ll just have noodles instead."

"Cousin, Yang Zhongyi is looking at me very strangely, as if he resists me."

"Resist you? You don’t know each other, do you?"

"Exactly."

Wang Menglin suddenly thought, could it be that the two families want to arrange a marriage, and Yang Zhongyi doesn’t agree? How could he not be willing with such a good girl like her cousin?

"Cousin, what happened?" Why the sudden anger?

"Xiao Zhen, how old is Yang Zhongyi?"

"Twenty-four."

"Xiao Zhen, do you think the two families could be thinking of pairing you two together? Otherwise, why would he resist you?"

Tao YanZhen thought about her cousin’s words and felt it was very likely.

"Why hasn’t my family notified me? I’ll ask tomorrow, I wouldn’t want Yang Zhongyi anyway." Ever since Lv Guodong entered her heart, she hadn’t considered anyone else.

"Take the day off tomorrow to make a call."

"Alright, I’ll go tomorrow, I really want to go now."

"Xiao Zhen, you’re distracted."

Tao YanZhen took deep breaths to calm down.

"Got it, cousin."

"Nothing’s certain yet, you shouldn’t lose your composure."

"Understood."

The last batch of pancakes was left. Only scrambled eggs needed to be done, which was very quick.

"Xiao Zhen, take the pickles, sauce, and green onions out, I’ll fry the eggs now."

With five people joining for dinner, Wang Menglin directly fried ten eggs.

The food was on the table, and they ate as they chatted. Luckily there were wild greens, otherwise, it would have been too plain.

Wang Menglin found some brown sugar, adding sweetness to the millet and mung bean porridge was quite nice.

Yang Zhongyi was mainly chatting with the two male comrades, saying only a few words to the two girls at first introduction.

After dinner, Li Manjiang left promptly, not wanting to interrupt discussions.

He stepped outside just in time to meet Dad.

"Dad, what brings you here?"

"Came to see Mr. Yang to borrow his truck for delivering grain to the state."

Li Yungui came in, and arranged with Yang Zhongyi to deliver grain the day after tomorrow, also agreeing to take the two girls to town tomorrow. They left satisfied.

Tomorrow, a trip to the grain warehouse was planned to make arrangements with them.

The day after tomorrow, at least three truckloads would be needed, just sorghum required two trucks, and miscellaneous grains one truck, which would ease things. At least Xiao Wei was on top of things.

Yang Zhongyi and Tao Chunhe went indoors and talked for an hour, by which time the two girls had showered and gone to bed.

"Chunhe, I’ll bring you some food the day after tomorrow."

"Brother Yang, we have enough food, although dishes like eggs and chicken are not a problem, my sisters’ cooking skills aren’t very good."

"As long as there’s food, next time we head to the mountains, we’ll bring you good stuff."

"That’d be great, I really want some meat."

"Alright, no need to see me off, I’m leaving."

"Leaving right away?"

"Yes, it’s late, I won’t be going to the Wei Family."

Tao Chunhe had just showered and saw his sister and cousin sitting in the courtyard.

"What’s up? Why aren’t you resting at this hour?"

"Brother, I feel that Yang Zhongyi came unexpectedly, and he looks at me with resistance. My cousin and I discussed it, could it be that our family wants to pair us together? I don’t want that. I’m planning to call Grandpa tomorrow."

Tao Chunhe frowned, "That possibility does exist, okay, you both should make the call tomorrow.

But from what I’ve seen of Yang Zhongyi, he seems to be okay.

This is just a surface view, as we haven’t interacted for long."

"Brother, he’s already resistant to me, I’m still young, not like I can’t find someone to marry, why be with someone who doesn’t like me?"

"Xiao Zhen, actually, there are only a dozen families, and not many are of marriageable age, Yang Zhongyi is relatively good."

"No matter how good he is, it won’t work if he doesn’t want me. I don’t need to push myself onto someone." freewebnoveℓ.com

Tao Chunhe sighed, his sister had her own thoughts since childhood. Oh well, if she doesn’t want it, she doesn’t want it. Her age is indeed still young.

The three siblings went back to their rooms, while the two girls couldn’t sleep and discussed Yang Zhongyi.
