Chapter 1308: Chapter 1180: That Makes So Much Sense!

"Your grandaunt is just saying that. She’s only fifty-five this year, she won’t really stop working. When Yu’s grandparents were still alive, she was exhausted but she didn’t stop working."

"That’s good. I thought Grandaunt was unwell and I was planning to visit her." Liu Yi paused, "Recently the weather’s been unpredictable, Grandma, you should take care."

Being cared for by her grandson, Miao Lishan felt very pleased. Who else has such filial children like hers? "Alright. You also take care at school. Bring more food this time and share some with your classmates."

"I will. My brother and I have a good relationship with classmates, don’t worry." Liu Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "Have your old friends invited you to go out shopping recently?"

"Yes, but I don’t have the time."

"What about Grandma Mo?"

"Oh, her? She hasn’t come. She hasn’t fully recovered from a cold since some time ago." Miao Lishan paused, looking at Liu Yi, "Has the girl from the Mo family been looking for your brother?"

Liu Yi hurriedly shook his head, "No."

"Then why do you ask about her?" Miao Lishan looked suspiciously at Ping’an, "Da Bao, while your grandpa and dad are here, tell grandma who you’ve got your eye on?"

Ping’an secretly glared at Liu Yi, seeing everyone’s eyes focused on him, he smiled and shook his head, "Grandma, when I find someone, I’ll definitely bring her to see you first."

Miao Lishan expressed disappointment and then said, "The girl from the Mo family has pretty good conditions, what a pity."

Ping’an laughed, "Why not just have your eldest grandson marry her?"

"That won’t do, you have to like her," Miao Lishan quickly shook her head, "It’s not me marrying her. But you should start looking now, you can’t really wait until you’re thirty to marry, can you?"

"Alright, I’ll try before I’m thirty."

"The Mo family’s girl really isn’t suitable?" Miao Lishan asked again unwillingly. Such a good candidate, she could be married as soon as she graduates, and next year we could have a chubby boy.

Ping’an decisively shook his head.

Just kidding! Not only does he not see that girl as a woman, but her drinking posture would scare his mom if she really married into his family.

"Grandma, is there any girl you like in the Big Courtyard?" Ping’an smiled at her, "How about I find you a familiar granddaughter-in-law?"

"Of course! I’m not insisting on a matching family background. But if someone from outside comes into our house, they’ll need to adapt with each other for a while first."

May 1st immediately looked at Miao Lishan: His grandma made a lot of sense! So shouldn’t he find a target for his future partner in advance?

"Whoever you three brothers marry, as long as their character is decent, your mom will definitely not oppose. But with her temper, if they don’t get along, she won’t want anyone to be an eyesore in her presence."

Miao Lishan said, looking at the three brothers, "So Grandma suggests you best find a partner among familiar families around. But the premise is that you like her yourselves. No matter how good we think they are, it’s no use, because when we’re gone, they’ll be the ones accompanying you."

Miao Lishan rarely mentions their marital affairs to her three grandsons. In her mind, the grandsons are still young, there’s plenty of time to choose a suitable match.

But recently, with the kids nearing graduation, there’ve been so many people subtly or overtly probing for information. She only now realizes how much the kids have grown, especially the eldest, Ping’an, who’s already of marriageable age.

Also, there’s this year’s implementation of the family planning policy.

Most noticeably, as long as a family has a child at a marriageable age, those old women start choosing candidates supposedly able to bear sons.

Bah! Whether they bear boys or girls is fate, how can it be determined?

If selected with those people’s eyes, wouldn’t Jiao Jiao in their family be destined to only bear daughters?

She doesn’t entertain such thoughts.

However, if the granddaughter-in-law had a minority ethnicity household registration, that would be great.

But she truly can’t voice this out.

Just as Jiao Jiao says at home, mentioning this to the kids might make them strive to fulfill the elders’ wishes, which could end up harming the children.

What’s the point?

Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing silently continued their chess game, simply listening to the exchange between the four grandchildren and their grandmother.

The reason they’re observers is that they trust their kids.

It’s not boasting, but with their family’s children’s taste and inherent pride, ordinary girls wouldn’t catch their eye.

—There must be some flash of attraction to truly move them.

Just like that daughter of the Qiu family.

Can Ping’an really hide it from them?

Never mind previous clues, just that incident when the Ping’an Brothers were on the front line, that girl quietly snuck into the medical team to go south.

Others might think she was there for her own brother, but Zhang Guoqing doesn’t see it that way. In such tense and sorrowful circumstances, he noticed that girl always watching his face.

Wasn’t that concern for his son’s safety? After this, he mentioned it to Jiao Jiao, and they decided to follow the children’s lead.

Childhood sweethearts, two peas in a pod, the age gap is just right, and the girl’s character is gentle yet strong, with some military spouse charisma, quite suitable for Ping’an.

So now, whether it’s Zhou Xiaozheng or Zhang Guoqing, though the Qiu family’s status isn’t comparable to the Mo and Yi families, they have a good impression of the girl, so they overlook the situation.

If Ping’an doesn’t speak, they won’t ask.

When the children feel it’s time to introduce someone, they’ll naturally bring her home.

Then there’s Liu Yi, who currently treats the Yi family’s treasure like a little wife. That clever little girl, at such a young age, already knows to call "Liu Yi brother" sweetly. Knowing Liu Yi is home today, she also visits, chatting with her godmother and amusing her, yet not forgetting to drag Liu Yi along.

But May 1st...

The father-in-law and son-in-law both simultaneously gave him a glance, hoping that the most lively dumb kid wouldn’t bring home a foreigner as a wife, or else those legs might as well be gone!

The two gazes made May 1st suddenly feel a chill all over, as if someone’s watching him. Instinctively, he held his breath, eyes discreetly scanning around, body tense as if preparing for a deadly strike.

Then he looked at his family, chuckling and shaking his head. This is home, what’s there to be nervous about! Not to mention his three brothers are here, but with guards and gatekeepers outside, ordinary people can’t get in.

That’s what he thought, but still, he worriedly got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hungry?" Zhou Jiao saw him standing at the door and smiled, "Dinner’s ready."

"Mom, I’ll help bring out the dishes."

Zhou Jiao waved her hand, "Relax and go in. Once you go abroad, I might not have the chance to serve you."

"Please don’t say serve, Dad will beat me. Mom, I won’t be abroad for long, I just want to see what the strong countries you talk about are really like."

May 1st said with a smile, his eyes surveying the kitchen then looking towards the yard, feeling relieved. Silently he thought it must have been his imagination earlier; seems like he can’t forget to keep up his training.

If he falls on his face abroad, he’ll really lose face as Third Young Master Zhou!
