However, splitting up the family can also be a good thing.
"Third Brother, I plan to build a house near yours." That way, we could be even closer to each other.
Zhao Tianlei had no objections, "That’s fine, you should decide on the homestead land earlier."
By the time the land is divided, the homestead plots may be reduced.
The next day, Yun Xiaoxiao went into town and also received a letter, and of course, she bought plenty of food as well.
In town, cooperative members were selling things from their homes.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t buy from there but could purchase online, pretending it was food bought in town.
There were watermelons, pears, and a few bunches of grapes and bananas, plus a bag of milk powder, all covered up, making it difficult for anyone to see clearly.
Once home, Yun Xiaoxiao sliced up several bananas, plus a few pears and a cluster of grapes; as for watermelons, since some were quite large, she had to invite her in-laws over to eat them.
Early in the morning, Zhao Tianlei told her that he needed to go into the mountains.
"The sun is strong, you guys stay home, I’ll be back soon."
Yun Xiaoxiao left wearing a straw hat, as it was too hot outside, and she feared the children might suffer a heatstroke.
"You guys wash a bunch of grapes to eat."
Carrying the items, she left the house.
Mrs. Zhao was also at home.
Mrs. Zhao saw Laosan’s Wife coming with another basket of vegetables.
"Mom, I was lucky today, someone was selling fruit and I bought some to bring you."
Mrs. Zhao really didn’t know what to say anymore.
Ever since they had split from Laoer and Laosan, Laosan’s Wife had been bringing food every now and then.
She likely eats better than the old ladies in town.
"Laosan’s Wife, you don’t have to bring food so often."
Although Laosan made money last year, they would need it when their children went to college.
"Mom, these don’t cost much. I also bought watermelon. Would you and Dad come over to eat, or should I have Da Bao bring it to you?"
There’s more watermelon?
"Mom, drink this malted milk too; harvest season is coming, you need to keep your nutrition up, right?"
There was malted milk too?
As she opened it, the fruits inside and the bag of malted milk were quite obvious.
Although it’s just one pound, which household drinks malted milk regularly?
Even people in town don’t buy malted milk to drink often.
"Mom, it’s getting late, I should head back."
Without taking her basket back, Yun Xiaoxiao quickly left after greeting Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao watched Laosan’s Wife walk away, then looked at the fruits and malted milk in the basket.
When Captain Zhao returned home, Mrs. Zhao told him about this.
"Since Laosan’s Wife brought them, just accept them."
He thought if their couple both got admitted to university, then they might leave the grandchildren for them to take care of.
For now, it was all about building a closer relationship.
"Shall we go eat the watermelon?"
If she kept bringing things, who knows how many people would see it.
"Well, let’s have dinner early tonight."
Now it was just the two of them; having dinner early was not an issue.
"Sister-in-law, may I ask you to keep me company?" Zhao Tianhe came to invite Yun Xiaoxiao, which surprised her a bit.
Why would I keep you company at a matchmaking?
"Is it appropriate for me to go?"
Zhao Tianhe immediately nodded, "Yes, it’s appropriate. The girl is coming to our house to check the place out."
Yun Xiaoxiao was not familiar with the matchmaking process.
"No need to know each other, just to check out the house?"
Zhao Tianhe saw that Yun Xiaoxiao knew about this and quickly said, "It’s the matchmaker who’s bringing the girl over to our house to check it out."
