Chapter 493: Urging Marriage

Whenever elders saw their juniors, their favorite thing to do was to urge them to get married.

historical

Although Zeng Li was only 22 years old and there were many boys who got married after the age of 20, Zeng Li didn’t even have a girlfriend. How could Lin Xue not be anxious?

Her son had already found a childhood sweetheart in the neighborhood, so Zeng Li was her focus now. After all, her mother-in-law had called a few times to ask.

When Zeng Li heard the question, he immediately shook his head. “I’m not lonely at all! I’m usually very busy. I only have free time during the new year.”

Lin Xue couldn’t continue this topic in front of the guests, so she glared at Zeng Li.

Zeng Li immediately shut up.

As for Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng, who had been paired up by the Zeng family at some point, the two of them couldn’t explain. In addition, Zeng Li and Lin Xue had already digressed from the topic, so they could only skip this segment.

Lin Xue chatted with them for a while before entering the kitchen to cook. Zeng Rou followed her in to help.

Zeng Wei originally wanted to chat with Xiao Sheng to understand more about his character, but he didn’t expect that the more he chatted, the more he liked him. Xiao Sheng had levelheadedness and wisdom that far exceeded that of his age, especially his tenacity.

This was the first time Zeng Wei had shown fondness and approval towards his friend, so Zeng Li couldn’t help but feel a little smug. “Xiao Sheng is really impressive and he’s very skilled! By the way, Xiao Sheng was the one who helped me block Zou Kun’s knife attack last time. He saved my life. That’s how I was able to escape.”

Zeng Wei was stunned for a moment. Previously, when Zeng Li told him about this, his first reaction was that Zeng Li’s capable subordinates saved him.

Now that he knew that it was Xiao Sheng, Zeng Wei had a new idea. He looked at Xiao Sheng and said with a smile, “Then I have to test your skills! Do you want to compete with me?”

Big Fatty and Little Fatty went to watch the battle together.

Men liked to challenge people stronger than them, and Xiao Sheng also wanted to spar with powerful people to learn more efficient moves.

There was a room on the first floor of the Zeng family’s house and it was usually used for sparring. There was also a military sand table against the wall.

Zeng Wei had educated his sons and Zeng Li in military knowledge since they were young. Unfortunately, Zeng Li didn’t put in any effort to learn. Fortunately, his sons were more productive.

The training room was filled with men and when they fought to their heart’s content, they would definitely have to take their tops off. Therefore, Yu Bing didn’t follow them in. Seeing this, Zeng Rou came out to chat with Yu Bing.

When Yu Bing saw Zeng Rou picking vegetables, she helped.

Zeng Rou hurriedly stopped her. ‘You’re a guest. If you do chores, that’ll be bad hospitality on our end.”

Yu Bing smiled and said, “I’ll be a little uneasy if you guys don’t let me do it. You’re all busy, but I’m the only idle person.”

When Zeng Rou heard this, she hesitated for a moment before saying,

“Actually, I really need your help.”

Because she didn’t know if she could do it or not, Yu Bing didn’t agree immediately. “Miss Zeng, tell me. As long as I can help, I will.”

Zeng Rou smiled. “You’re friends with Zeng Li, so just call me Second Sister.”

Zeng Rou felt a little embarrassed since her next words sounded a little presumptuous. “Didn’t you bring canned spicy beef? When my brother brought the goods from your factory, I couldn’t help but try them. It tasted super good!”

“I’ve never eaten such delicious beef before. I just want to ask how you made it. If your food factory plans to mass-produce it, I’ll get him to bring me some during production. I ‘

Yu Bing heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t plan to produce this. Firstly, there were few cattle. Beef was rare, and spicy beef was used in large quantities. Secondly, the cost was high, and not many people could afford it. If the market wasn’t big, there was no need to waste time.

Moreover, she had many recipes in mind. In the future, when people’s standard of living improved, she could make other beef products.

“I made this for myself. If you like it, I’ll give you the recipe.”

Seeing that Yu Bing was so sensible, Zeng Rou reached out and held her hand as she said with a smile, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. If possible, can you demonstrate it for me?

This was easy, so Yu Bing agreed readily..
