Upon hearing his parents' words, Cheng Xiaofan knew he couldn't refuse this matter.
He thought, what kind of era was this? Two maternal uncles were looking for partners, and they still needed him to help choose from five girls. This was too absurd.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll agree to this matter!" Cheng Xiaofan said to Miao Dachun.
Miao Dachun was overjoyed to hear this and quickly took out a red paper packet from his person, saying, "Xiaofan, this is the red paper packet Grandpa prepared for you. It's not much, just two hundred yuan, a token of my affection."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Cheng Xiaofan knew this was a rural custom and it would be impolite to refuse, so he immediately accepted it.
Not long after returning to the new villa from his mother's place, his own Bai Goddess and Shen Ruobing also returned from work at the village office company.
"What delicious food did you make today? It smells so good!" Shen Ruobing exclaimed as soon as she entered the house.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly brought a pot of turtle foot meat from the kitchen to the table and said with a smile, "I went to Bai Mang Lake today and unexpectedly found a sea turtle."
"This sea turtle weighed over nine hundred catties. I stewed one turtle foot, and I sent half of it to my mother."
Bai Yiling smiled, "It's too big, the three of us can't finish it!"
"Woof woof!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the mischievous little rascal burst in.
Master, if you can't finish it, there's still this dog grandpa.
Give me half of the turtle foot meat so I can taste it with the ten white swans.
"Stop barking, go aside, I'll get you something to eat right away!" Cheng Xiaofan took another large plate, used a knife to divide half of the turtle foot again, and placed it on the plate.
If he didn't get rid of this dog first, Cheng Xiaofan was sure it would jump onto the table to grab it.
He was speechless. Under the influence of the mischievous rascal, those ten geese had actually learned to eat meat.
Cheng Xiaofan placed the plate on the ground and said to the mischievous rascal, "Take it, and go taste it properly with your white swans!"
Hearing this, the mischievous rascal glanced at the table.
Whoosh!
It suddenly leaped up and landed on the table, extended a foreleg, hugged a bottle of happy wine, and then jumped back down. It picked up the large plate of turtle foot meat and quickly ran out the door.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
"This dog is simply trying to rebel!" Cheng Xiaofan gritted his teeth and said.
Shen Ruobing couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, "This mischievous rascal is so funny, it even wants to drink!"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "This mischievous rascal is very cunning. It only dares to do this when we are present. If Xiaofan were home alone, it would never dare to snatch wine from him!"
"Come, let's eat turtle foot meat and drink!" Cheng Xiaofan had no choice but to get another bottle of happy wine and poured a cup for each of them.
The turtle foot meat was especially tender and fragrant. The three of them were so engrossed that they couldn't stop eating.
Shen Ruobing said with a smile, "No wonder I often hear people in the village lament that ever since Xiaofan returned to Zhuxi Village from the city, it's been like a festival in the village every few days, with delicious food and drinks."
"That's absolutely true!"
After everyone had eaten their fill, just like the night before, the two beauties vied to clean up the dishes.
When it was completely dark, Cheng Xiaofan returned to the bedroom to rest. As soon as he lay down, Bai Yiling was chased here by Shen Ruobing again.
Seeing his Bai Goddess holding her clothes with both hands, wearing a silky, sexy nightgown, and looking pitiful, Cheng Xiaofan impulsively rushed forward.
"Keep it down, don't make so much noise!" Bai Yiling said shyly, half-heartedly in the arms of her mysterious man.
...
After dawn.
The three of them ate breakfast.
Two went to work, and one sat on the Breaking Heaven Eagle and ascended into the sky.
The surroundings were shrouded in a thin mist, and the mist condensed into dew on the plants. The leaves fluttered down in the cool autumn breeze.
Within the polder, harvested fields were left with stubble.
Many sparrows hopped around in the fields, looking for scattered grains to eat.
A short while later, the Breaking Heaven Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, had arrived above Miao Dachun's house.
"Jeeeee—"
Hearing the eagle's cry from the sky, Miao Dachun immediately said to his two sons, "Shuisheng, Tusheng, this must be Xiaofan!"
Shuisheng and Tusheng brothers had just rushed to the door when they saw a person descending from the sky.
"Ah, Xiaofan!" The brothers shouted in surprise.
Cheng Xiaofan greeted them with a smile, "Uncle Shuisheng, Uncle Tusheng!"
Shuisheng quickly said, "Xiaofan, just call us by our names as you always did. Adding 'Uncle' makes us feel awkward!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly replied, "That won't do. You are my uncles. I was ignorant before, but I can't be ignorant now!"
Tusheng asked, "Xiaofan, I heard Dad say you flew over on an eagle. Where is the eagle? Show me!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "The eagle has already flown away, it's gone to eat!"
Miao Dachun stood at the door and said, "Shuisheng, Tusheng, take Xiaofan inside. Don't just stand outside chatting foolishly!"
The three of them entered the house.
The brothers rushed to pour water and make tea for their nephew.
"Xiaofan, you've really become accomplished!"
"We brothers will rely on you for support in the future!"
"Xiaofan, have some tea!"
"Xiaofan, do you smoke?"
"Uncle Shuisheng, Uncle Tusheng, when are your girlfriends arriving?" Cheng Xiaofan changed the subject and asked directly.
Shuisheng said, "They should be here around 8:30."
To welcome the arrival of the five girls, Miao Dachun had woken up before dawn, busy boiling tea eggs, stir-frying sunflower seeds, and even went to town to buy a pile of various pastries.
He also hired some women from the village to prepare lunch in the kitchen.
Miao Dachun's two sons being fancied by five girls and agreeing to come here today was a big news in the village, and many people came to watch the excitement.
Cheng Xiaofan asked the two uncles, "Have you met those girls before this?"
Among these two brothers, Shuisheng was relatively more active, while Tusheng was a natural mute.
Hearing this, Shuisheng answered again, "Before this, we brothers did not know those girls."
"One of the girls, named Jin Shui Xiang, is from a nearby area. She bought pork from our farm and said that although the market price of pork was outrageously high, it was very delicious and worth buying."
"She said that later she bought some pork and gave it to her friends, who were the other four girls. They ate it and all said they were captivated by this kind of pork."
"Later, they found out that my family had a relative relationship with you, so they became interested in us brothers and expressed their willingness to become our women."
"They agreed to come to my house today, and Dad invited you here, hoping you could help us brothers screen them and choose two suitable girls!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Please rest assured, uncles. Since I am here today, I will definitely help you screen them properly."
As they were talking, a village woman on guard duty at the village entrance hurried into the house and shouted loudly, "Dachun, those five girls have entered the village!"
Miao Dachun ran out of the kitchen and quickly said to Shuisheng and Tusheng, "Quick, you two go to the door and set off firecrackers!"
This was a rural custom; firecrackers were set off to welcome girls on their first visit.
Crackling... Just as the firecrackers finished, five young and charming women, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, entered the house.
When Cheng Xiaofan looked at the five young women, his heart skipped a beat.
There was something wrong with all five of these women!
