Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2226: Chapter 1884: Idealism?

Everyone was picking melons and eating them right there in the melon field, satisfied in both spirit and stomach, so the two melons they were taking home didn’t feel so stingy anymore.

They all kept pushing the food to each other, hemming and hawing, and then followed the suggestion to have an early dinner here.

After that, the bus pulled up, and the drivers each carried tofu, fermented tofu and such bought in the village, boarding one by one.

And just like that, this boisterous day could finally be said to be over.

Chen Yuan and a few colleagues who looked like they had a shot talked it over, and then even went back to the boss to wring out a whole thousand yuan of "huge funding"—

Fine, a thousand yuan at Lao Song’s family can’t actually buy much of anything, but they’re sharp!

Say what you will, they could at least scrape together a few bags of vegetables from the fields, right? It looked like a lot and looked thrifty too, adding points for themselves!

So they just watched what the team leader did and followed suit. In summer, you yank up a whole big handful of water spinach with one pull, plus crisp cucumbers, then carry home a big sweet watermelon, add in all kinds of pickles and preserved vegetables...

It had Aunt Zhang Hong secretly shaking her head.

Who says men don’t put their hearts into things? When they do, they really cover all the bases; it just depends on whether they care or not.

Still, once everyone left, she went around praising them all in unison:

"You really made your aunt proud. Even if it didn’t work out this time, no rush. Let’s keep this calm mindset, and I’ll organize another matchmaking event next time. Don’t worry, your aunt’s group isn’t disbanding. By then, the girls’ coworkers, friends, and so on, word spreads from person to person, won’t there be endless good chances?"

After a whole day arranged like this, with several pairs already clearly interested in each other, what was there left for everyone not to believe?

"Yes, yes, right, right!"

The chorus of responses made Aunt Zhang Hong so pleased her confidence swelled.

She thought, just look at what I can do—if I don’t hold office, who should?

Our "official" over here then waved her sleeve and went back to shell beans.

On this side, the security guards, strutting around like peacocks, still couldn’t stop; Master Jiang had them doing another big cleanup in the kitchen.

For the sake of their lifelong happiness, the entire farm, top to bottom, got busy. With so many visitors suddenly turning up, of course they had to help tidy up a bit, right?

Many hands make light work; everyone gathered together, and in under half an hour even the tables and benches were wiped till they gleamed.

Zheng Juan and Chen Xi, who had just made their relationship official, even had time to stroll over to the ranch again for a little date.

As for Secretary Xiaozu and Qi Lin...

Sigh! She was quite disappointed she hadn’t been able to announce the two of them as a couple at the big event. But this way was fine too; at least it kept her from looking too politically overeager.

So Secretary Xiaozu also hopped onto her second-hand electric scooter: "Come on, I’ll go check out your dorm."

Seeing them running up the mountains and down the fields every day, if he turned out to be a slob at home, that was no good.

...

And not everyone had such a carefree happy day.

First was Zhang Chen.

His smile had shifted onto his brother’s face. Now, back at Wu Lei’s home, facing his aunt’s eager gaze, the rich second generation could only mull it over for a while, then look at his silly brother still happily serving dishes and scooping rice, and sigh:

"Auntie, maybe we shouldn’t rush to find him a girlfriend for the next couple of years."

The grown lad’s brief moment of enlightenment had snapped shut again; his brain just couldn’t turn that fast for now. Even if a good opportunity came, he wouldn’t know how to seize it.

Things being what they were, better to just focus on raising cattle first.

The disappointment in his aunt’s eyes was obvious.

But for some reason, she also quietly let out a breath of relief. Eating halfway through the meal, she suddenly realized:

"Oh dear, honestly, I’m kind of relieved no girl took a fancy to him. Otherwise, with this mess of things at home, if it really got to talking marriage, we don’t even have a nest. Your uncle and I would be worrying ourselves sleepless again."

A silly son wasn’t such a bad thing.

Before, he was all lofty, complaining the family gave him this but not that; now, raising cattle himself and realizing how hard money is to make, he’d actually settled down.

Let’s just say, being grounded like this is still better than the empty fluff he had before, right?

Zhang Chen also let out a sigh.

Now he wasn’t worried his brother wasn’t sincere with him anymore; what he worried about was that his brother seemed a bit lacking in the brains department!

Old Wu Family had accepted reality, but over in Yunqiao Village, Li Lanhua was secretly stewing.

"So many people, such a good chance! You used to think Tian Tian’s education wasn’t enough, but now all these people working in proper units, which one of them isn’t a college graduate? And still you don’t take the initiative? What exactly are you trying to do?"

At the same time she grumbled, "And Zhang Hong too, honestly. I specially asked her to create more chances for you, so how did she end up calling you down from the stage while she was hosting? Let outsiders see that and they’ll think you did something wrong."
