This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 168: Guo Junshan visits Chen's house for the New Year and shows off his cooking skills

Chen Jiawang asked in surprise, "Junshan, you can also write calligraphy?"

Guo Junshan nodded and said, "Yeah~ I practiced it for a few years when I was a kid. Yesterday I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some red paper and wrote a few couplets. It's not Chinese New Year, so I did it for the occasion~"

"You big city people are so particular," Chen Jiawang sighed. "For rural folks like us, even eating white flour dumplings during the Spring Festival is a luxury. Where would we even have the spare money to make couplets?"

"Brother..." Chen Shuning said unhappily, "You're talking as if Brother Guo is an evil capitalist. What's wrong with him writing a few couplets for the New Year?"

"That's not what I meant!" Chen Jiawang quickly explained, "I was just expressing my feelings. Junshan, don't take it to heart~"

Guo Junshan knew that Chen Jiawang had no bad intentions, so he smiled and let the matter go.

After arriving at Chen's house and putting down his things, Guo Junshan realized that he didn't seem to see Chen Aiguo: "Shuning, where did uncle go? Why didn't I see him on the street just now?"

Chen Shuning smiled and replied, "My father went to the county to pick up my third uncle. He probably won't be back until tomorrow~"

"Tomorrow our house will be bustling with activity." Chen Jiawang put down his things, took a sip of water, and said, "My eldest brother and his wife will be back tomorrow."

Chen Shuning was afraid that Guo Junshan would not be used to it, so he said, "Brother Guo, please don't be so formal. Grandpa Wang is like family to us. Just treat this place as your own home."

Chen Shuning raised his hand and touched his flat belly, then said to Chen Jiawang, "Oh, by the way, second brother, why don't you go help grandpa while I cook at home?"

"You really don't care about your second brother at all~" Chen Jiawang complained, "I walked in the mountains for a long time today, and my legs can hardly lift up..."

Guo Junshan took off his gloves and said, "Let me cook. Jiawang, go back to the house and rest. Shuning, help me light the fire."

Chen Jiawang said with a playful smile, "I'm just teasing Shuning. I have to go over there. Grandpa is so old and he doesn't slack off. I can't embarrass him."

As they were talking, Liu Xianghua and Li Zhen came back.

Li Zhen smiled when she saw Guo Junshan. The boy was handsome and she felt good just looking at him.

"Junshan, didn't I tell you to just come over here? Why didn't you obey and took so many things?"

Guo Junshan helped Li Zhen sit down and said with a smile: "Grandma, if you treat me as your own child, you should accept the things I give you! Why are you being so polite to me? I don't even consider myself an outsider."

"Hahaha~" Li Zhen laughed heartily: "You kid, you usually look quite serious, but when you say something sweet, it's really nice!"

Guo Junshan pursed his lips, looked at Chen Shuning with a fiery gaze, and murmured, "You can see my temper, it's too dull. Shuning has a good personality, I learned all this from Shuning."

Liu Xianghua looked back at Chen Shuning, sighed, and said, "You're the only one who thinks Shuning has a good personality. When she gets angry, she doesn't care about anyone's face."

Liu Xianghua still remembered how Shu Ning had retorted when she told him to find a partner first. He was a good kid, but when he got angry, he could be quite blunt.

Guo Junshan said sincerely: "Shuning doesn't take advantage of others, but she doesn't suffer any loss either. If you treat her well, she will treat you well. Auntie, Shuning is very good~"

As he spoke, Guo Junshan poured some water, washed his hands and prepared to cook.

Seeing that he was about to work again, Liu Xianghua said embarrassedly: "Xiao Guo, you take a rest, I will cook today~"

"Auntie, you treat me like an outsider?" Guo Junshan said dissatisfiedly: "I'm back home, doing some work in my own home, what's the big deal?

I brought some white flour today to make you some dumpling soup. Try my dumpling soup, it tastes different from others..."

Chen Shuning said nothing, cleaned the pot honestly, lit the fire, and boiled a pot of hot water first.

Chen Jiawang drank another glass of water and went to the street to find Chen Feng. The pig was back, and there was still a lot of work to do.

Liu Xianghua couldn't stop Guo Junshan and could only help him. Her opinion of Guo Junshan rose to a new level. What a hardworking young man!

"Xiao Guo~ your cooking is so delicious! I wonder which daughter will be so lucky in the future. Marrying you is such a blessing~"

Guo Junshan had a regular job with good benefits. He was handsome, clean, and a good cook. Liu Xianghua was particularly pleased with him for these reasons.

Guo Junshan raised the corners of his mouth high, his eyes curved into crescents, and said modestly: "Auntie, please don't praise me like that. Actually, I'm not that good.

It's because I have more free time at the police station. When I was in the criminal police team, I was often so busy that I couldn't go home for several days.

"Hey, what's the big deal?" Liu Xianghua said loudly, "Serving the people, it's understandable if I'm a bit busy or tired. I may be a farmer, but my ideological awareness is not low!"

Chen Shuning stuffed another handful of firewood and echoed, "Brother Guo, your work is very important, it's normal to be busy.

During those days when we were attending the legal education class, weren't all the cases you mentioned solved by the criminal police? If it weren't for you, how could the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

Guo Junshan hinted at something and said in a deep voice, "I'm not complaining about the hard work. I'm saying that being a criminal police officer is so busy that you don't even have time to go home. If you marry me, it will be too hard..."

"You talk as if marrying someone else wouldn't be hard." Chen Shuning muttered softly, "Marriage is a mess. Whoever gets married will regret it..."

Although Chen Shuning's voice was not loud, Guo Junshan had good ears and heard every word.

He glanced at Chen Shuning in surprise, stirring the dough in his hands, and asked casually, "Shuning, why do you think so?"

Guo Junshan couldn't understand why Chen Shuning would have such an idea when her parents and grandparents had a good relationship.

Liu Xianghua glared at Chen Shuning, then turned around and gave Guo Junshan a big smile: "She just listens to too much gossip and likes to think about things~"

Guo Junshan is not that optimistic. If Chen Shuning has this idea, then how long will it take for him to go?

"Shuning, you can't just look at those families with unhappy marriages. Take your family, for example. Grandpa and grandma have such a good relationship! Not all marriages are a mess."

"And your parents. Your uncle works outside, and your aunt keeps the house in perfect order. I've been here so many times, and I've never seen them quarrel. How wonderful~"

Chen Shuning rolled his eyes and muttered, "After all, there are only a few people like us in this family... Where can I find someone like this..."

Liu Xianghua's eyes turned and she asked casually, "Xiao Guo, how is your parents' relationship? We've met so many times, but I still don't know the situation at your home~"

"My home?" Guo Junshan was eager for someone to ask. Liu Xianghua handed him the ladder and he immediately climbed up: "My parents have a good relationship.

I've never seen them quarrel since I was a child. They're both grandparents now. If my mom gets home late from get off work, my dad will go pick her up.

My parents are also quite open-minded and never interfere in their children’s affairs…”
