Chapter 107: Old Man Yuhou's Proposal
Zhao Dongchuan shook his head. It was useless to think too much. He should just take it one step at a time. The main problem was that this was a crappy system. The triggering of tasks was completely random and there was no pattern at all.
If you say it was triggered by passers-by, many people didn't react. If you say it was triggered by a supporting character, even less reaction. Anyway, it was very random.
If only the system was more powerful, I could take him back with me!
Zhao Dongchuan thought silently.
………………
The next day, Zhao Dongchuan got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to cook himself a pot of porridge using rice. During this time, he practiced the Five Animal Exercises and grappling techniques to warm up his body.
After the morning class was finished, the porridge was ready. The porridge cooked with rice produced by the system was fragrant, sweet and delicious!
He ate several bowls in one breath and drank the last bit of soup in the pot before rinsing it with water and scrubbing the pot clean.
This can't be wasted, the system's rice is eaten less and less!
"I don't know where this system came from. Could it be some spiritual rice that was plucked from some immortal cultivation world?"
Then he shook his head again.
"It shouldn't be considered spiritual rice. Although this rice can improve physical fitness, the effect is not exaggerated! It is probably ordinary rice rich in energy from another world!"
Zhao Dongchuan whispered to himself.
Without worrying about it, Zhao Dongchuan packed up and prepared to go out for a walk and chat with the young and old men in the village.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if there have been any changes in the village.
He went out and strolled around the village, greeting everyone he met with a smile.
Everyone responded enthusiastically when they saw him.
"Mr. Zhao is back!"
"Uncle Zhao, have some candy..."
"Brother Zhao!"
"Xiao Zhao, you have to stay a few more days this time..."
"Xiao Zhao, do you want a wife?"
………………
It seems like something extraordinary has been mixed in.
Zhao Dongchuan, who was originally nodding and smiling in response to greetings, took a closer look and realized that the person coming was none other than the professional matchmaker: Zhang Guilan.
"Aunt Guilan!"
Zhao Dongchuan smiled awkwardly and greeted her, then pretended not to hear what she said and ran away.
"Xiao Zhao, don't leave... I want to introduce a good girl to you this time..."
Before Zhang Guilan could finish her words, Zhao Dongchuan had already disappeared!
"This kid, why is he running away... He doesn't even want to be introduced to a wife... He is so young and full of vigor... Could it be that he is not good at that?" Zhang Guilan couldn't help but feel angry when she thought of her husband's recent cowardly behavior.
Zhao Dongchuan turned around and around, and when he saw that Zhang Guilan had not caught up with him, he stopped and wiped the sweat from his head. He was really scared by the last incident with "Xiao Zhuang" and didn't want to encounter such a "trouble" again.
He originally thought that after so much time had passed, everyone should have forgotten about this matter.
I didn’t expect that he would persevere!
"It seems we need to speed up the process, finish dealing with things here as soon as possible, and retreat quickly!"
Zhao Dongchuan muttered to himself
Although he has a good relationship with people in Shuangshui Village and normally no one would take advantage of him, he cannot stop people from trying to get ahead. If someone tries to "scam" him, he won't be able to explain himself even if he is right.
Even if he could rely on his "superpowers" to escape the disaster, there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
He looked around and found that this place was not far from Shaoan's home, so he walked straight towards his house.
……
Before I reached the door, I heard some chattering coming from the yard.
Seeing that the courtyard gate was not closed, Zhao Dongchuan went straight in.
"Xiao Zhao, you're here!" Sun Shaoan greeted him with a smile when he saw Zhao Dongchuan coming.
"Brother Shaoan, why are you smiling so happily?"
Sun Shaoan smiled and said, "Hey, your sister-in-law Xiulian is back from Shanxi!"
As they were talking, He Xiu Lian came out from the inner room wearing a red floral cotton jacket, two pigtails, and a light blue scarf.
"Brother Shaoan, my father is calling you to discuss the wedding banquet..."
He Xiu Lian first said something to Sun Shaoan, then greeted Zhao Dongchuan with a smile.
"Hello, Xiao Zhao!"
Zhao Dongchuan nodded and responded: "Hello, Sister Xiulian!"
Sun Shaoan pulled Zhao Dongchuan and said, "Let's go inside and have a cup of tea!"
On the kang in the inner room, Sun Yuhou and He Xiu Lian's father He Yaozong were smoking dry tobacco together. The dry tobacco and the smoke from cooking made the room very warm.
In the kitchen at the back, Shaoan's mother, Sun Lanhua and Sun Lanxiang were busy cooking for the guests.
"Xiao Zhao, you're here, come and sit down!" Yu Hou greeted him enthusiastically when he saw Zhao Dongchuan come into the room.
"Lanxiang, pour a glass of water for your brother Zhao!"
Lanxiang was about to stand up after hearing this, but Sun Shaoan waved his hand to signal her.
"I'll do it! You cook!"
Zhao Dongchuan took the large bowl with a missing corner handed to him by Sun Shaoan and took a sip of water.
"This is Xiulian's father...this is the educated youth in our village...Zhao Dongchuan...uh...he is a great scholar who can write poems and articles, and publish them in this...some magazine!" Sun Yuhou introduced the two people.
"Yeah, he's a good young man!" He Yaozong looked at the handsome Zhao Dongchuan and nodded continuously after hearing Sun Yuhou's introduction.
Unfortunately, his family has only one daughter who is waiting to get married, Xiulian, who has been promised to Shaoan. Otherwise, he would definitely have to make him his son-in-law!
Zhao Dongchuan greeted him with a smile and continued drinking water.
"That's it, Xiao Zhao. I've heard Shaoan talk about your situation. You should go home and not delay your work. Parents are the most caring people in the world. You have to go back and take care of them!"
"Here's what we've discussed. While you're still in our village, we'll hold the wedding earlier so that it won't delay your business and you can still attend Shaoan's wedding. What do you think?" Old man Yuhou looked at Zhao Dongchuan with hope.
Ever since Sun Yuhou heard Sun Shaoan say that Zhao Dongchuan was going back to his hometown for the New Year, he had this idea. Today, when Xiu Lian's father came, he discussed it with him.
Everyone had no objection to the wedding being brought forward, and Xiulian was especially happy.
The Sun family received a lot of help from Xiao Zhao, so it was reasonable to invite Zhao Dongchuan to attend the wedding. Since he couldn't stay for long due to something, the wedding should be held in advance.
When Zhao Dongchuan heard that they wanted to move the wedding forward and that he must attend Shaoan's wedding, he was slightly moved.
"Okay, this is the best of both worlds, but isn't this a bit too hasty? Are all the things for the wedding banquet ready? Don't delay Brother Shaoan's wedding, or I will be guilty! Sister Xiulian will definitely not forgive me!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed!
He Xiu Lian also blushed and looked at Sun Shaoan.
"Everything is almost ready. We will start inviting relatives and friends over in the next two days!" said old man Yuhou with a smile.
"That's right. Let's set the wedding on the day of the Little New Year. This way, we can celebrate the New Year and get our business done, and you won't delay your trip!" Sun Shaoan took the bowl that Zhao Dongchuan had finished drinking water from, picked up the kettle and poured him another bowl, and said with a smile.
