Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Another Cold Winter Month

As Yang Zhigang and Wang Pandi’s wedding concluded, the two officially began their unabashed married life.

Yang Zhigang, a middle-aged man, tasted the pleasures of intimacy for the first time, feeling insatiably happy, greeting everyone with a smiling face every day.

Wang Pandi, this shy flower, was also nourished into blossoming radiantly.

Their days were pleasant, and soon good news arrived.

Wang Pandi was pregnant. This thrilled the elders of the Yang Family. Grandpa Yang was getting old, and his current wish was for his eldest grandson to hold a plump son. Little did he expect his grandson to be so promising, getting it done within two months of marriage.

With Wang Pandi married, the one who felt it most in the Wang Family was Wang Miaomiao. Back home during the winter break, right before the New Year, all the household chores fell on Wang Miaomiao without Wang Pandi around.

Previously, Wang Pandi was the head chef, and Wang Miaomiao would assist. Now, could they rely on Liu Yulan to cook after she returns from work every day? She still had some pride…

So, Wang Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves and took on the challenge, becoming the head chef, with Wang Jia Bao forcibly assigned as her assistant.

Wang Miaomiao’s cooking skills were naturally not as good as Wang Pandi’s. With some ups and downs, a meal was prepared, not particularly delicious, but it was enough to fill the stomach.

“Third sister, this dish is overcooked, the steamed eggs aren’t right, not smooth…” Wang Jia Bao bluntly pointed out the flaws, and complained, “With your skills, if you marry into a husband’s family, you wouldn’t be despised to death. Tsk tsk… Sis, you really need to work harder…”

He didn’t know when, but his sister became excellent in everything, making him, as the brother, seem useless, causing great pressure. Now, he finally found something she’s not good at, so of course he had to mock her.

Wang Miaomiao bit the tip of her chopsticks, glaring at him resentfully, “It’s good enough to have food, yet you’re being picky. If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat, cook it yourself.”

Wang Jia Bao wilted and bowed his head, eating quietly.

“Your brother isn’t wrong.” Liu Yulan rarely agreed with Wang Jia Bao, earnestly said to Wang Miaomiao, “When your sister was here, Mom didn’t pay much attention, but your skills really need to be practiced, not saying you have to be great, but can’t be too bad. Only then, after you marry, you won’t be looked down upon. Alas, a girl’s good academic achievements aren’t enough…”

“Mom, I’m still young…” Wang Miaomiao really wanted to say she was a non-marriage advocate, wouldn’t get married, there would never be a day she’d be despised.

But knowing, even if said, they wouldn’t take it seriously, so it’s better not to waste her breath.

“Not young anymore, after you graduate high school, have your brother-in-law set up a position for you at the factory, then you can slowly choose a partner.” Liu Yulan thought and couldn’t help but smile, her children are slowly growing up. Pandi is already pregnant, next year she can hold her grandson.

Looking at her son, he’s not bad looking, has a high school diploma, with a formal job, marry and have kids, and her days of holding grandsons wouldn’t be far off.

Wang Miaomiao was alarmed, her mom was too eager, it seemed ominous, she could only emphasize again, “Mom, I’m still young, no rush.”

“I know, not saying for you to get married now.” Liu Yulan arranged plainly, “First choose a partner, it’s not one time matchmaking success, always have to pick a satisfying one, spend some time to see the character, if it’s good it will take two or three years, then you will be just eighteen, ready for marriage registration.”

Wang Miaomiao’s mind buzzed, forced a smile, “No way, I can’t part with mom and dad, I won’t start dating until twenty.” At nineteen, she could already take the exams, then slowly drag it out…

“Ho ho, no girl marries that late.” Liu Yulan clearly didn’t take her words seriously.

Wang Miaomiao was helpless, quickly diverted her mom’s attention, “Anyway, I’m not in a hurry. Mom might as well find a bride for Jia Bao earlier, have him give you grandchildren sooner.”

It’s better to sacrifice him than herself, hmph… letting him watch her struggle, gloating and secretly laughing.

“Mmm, then we’ll choose together.” Liu Yulan had an idea, “Your brother-in-law is capable, when you two graduate and work, I won’t worry, then let him arrange a bit, as long as there’s a good job, finding a good partner isn’t a concern, haha…”

This made Wang Jia Bao restless, anxious, “Mom, I don’t want to work at the factory.”

Wang Baoxing looked at his son puzzled, “Not working at the factory, what do you want to do?”

“I…” Wang Jia Bao was anxious inside, in the past six months, following Yang Zhigang to hunt, he learned a lot and earned some money. But when asking brother-in-law about enlisting, he’s always vague, asking Brother Jiang also didn’t yield contact.

At first, he believed it, but now he’s unsure, feeling brother-in-law is brushing him off. He knows for sure it’s because his parents disagree, so brother-in-law dare not help.

“What?” Liu Yulan saw her son hesitating, knowing something was up, immediately took it seriously.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Jia Bao bravely expressed his wish, “I want to be a soldier.”

“What?” Liu Yulan cried out in shock, incredulously looking at her son, gasping for breath, then lowered her eyes indifferently, “I don’t agree.”

Wang Baoxing also dropped his face, following Liu Yulan’s refusal without room, he nodded.

“Why?” Wang Jia Bao knew he’d face parental opposition, but really being refused, his heart couldn’t help but ache.

Liu Yulan trembled slightly as she clamped a piece of food, chewing only until swallowed, “pa”, chopsticks hit the table, she said excitedly, “Why? We only have one son, you are not allowed to go anywhere, stay at home peacefully.”

It’s absolutely a one-sided decision, but also explains the reason, simply not wanting him to take risks.

Wang Jia Bao seemed to know, could only be this reason, but now in rebellion and impulsive, what his parents don’t allow him to do he insists, “No, what’s the point staying at home, working daily, doing monotonous work, such life isn’t what I want.”

After speaking, he threw down his chopsticks, stood up, kicked away the stool and ran out.

“Jia Bao, where are you going?” Wang Miaomiao quickly stood asking.

“None of your business.” Wang Jia Bao threw this willful sentence and ran out of sight.

Liu Yulan’s face was stern, mixed inside, but still mouth stubborn, “Forget it, ignore him, he’s spoiled.”

With that, picked up chopsticks to continue eating, only the slight tremble of her hands revealing inner unrest.

Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help sighing inside, proactively saying, “I’ll go find him, it’s getting dark, he’s alone outside, can’t let us rest assured.”

“I’ll go, you stay home and wait for news.” Wang Baoxing stood up to look for him.

Wang Miaomiao silently sat down, feeling extremely conflicted inside.
