A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

Fu Jingyou could tell from the fact that she couldn't reason things out that two out of three sentences she uttered were about her "nephew".

So I simply stopped trying to smooth things over.

Fu Jingyou lifted the thermos from the table and gestured to Minmin with his chin:
"Take it to your aunt."

Minmin nodded obediently, took the thermos, and headed to the backyard.

Fu Jingyou turned around again, smiled at Fifth Aunt, and said:

"We definitely need to take care of her. Auntie, you're speaking from the bottom of your heart, so I won't hide anything from you. Miaomiao and I are raising Minmin like our own daughter. We haven't planned to arrange these things for her yet. When we do, we'll definitely have to choose the right young man carefully."

Seeing that everyone who came to visit was looking at him, Fu Jingyou smiled and directly stated his position:

"Whether you choose someone from the city or the countryside, the most important thing is that they are decent people. Whether they have a stable job and can support their family are the main things. The girl is capable and earns several tens of yuan a month. There's no reason for her to support her husband's family after marriage. That would not only be an added burden on her, but it would also be less honorable for the man, wouldn't it? Auntie, don't you think that makes sense?"

Everyone else was stunned.

Fifth Aunt was the first to react, and immediately became unhappy upon hearing this:

“You’ve made something of yourself. If it were your own daughter asking for a stable job, that would be fine! But this girl isn’t your biological daughter, and she has parents like those in the family. How could she possibly ask for such high things?”

Fifth Aunt glanced at the doorway leading to the kitchen, snorted, and said with a downturned lip:
"If everyone were like you, how many secure jobs would we need? Where would we get so many secure jobs in the village?"

Her words carried a hint of belittling Minmin, which Fu Jingyou disliked, but he remained composed and smiled:

"I don't care. Not only Minmin's conditions, but also the marriage prospects of Dabao and Erbao in the future must be based on this standard. Marriage is about the goodwill of two families. If you can meet the requirements and are willing, then come on. If you can't, then there's no need to talk about it. Moreover, these are just the basic conditions. Whether things can really work out will depend on the later stages."

This means:
To be honest with you, my daughter is wonderful. Talking about marriage is just the first hurdle.

Even if a misshapen or deformed child had all these qualities, our family wouldn't approve of it.

"..."

Fifth Aunt was speechless for a moment.

Having lived to a ripe old age, Aunt Wu could easily discern the underlying meaning in these words.

The conversation was so boring that the old lady, with a tense expression, got up and walked out.

Although Fu Jingyou smiled throughout, he did not yield an inch and maintained a domineering attitude from beginning to end.

The other women, who were of the same generation as Chen Guifen, swallowed back the words they were about to say when they saw that Fifth Aunt had not gained any advantage over him.

One by one, they chuckled and said they had to go back to do laundry and cook, and then they all got up and left.

Since he's gone, Fu Jingyou is happy to have some peace and quiet.

Naturally, they wouldn't feign a desire to keep him.

Just then, Minmin came out from behind the door:
"Uncle..."

Fu Jingyou glanced at her, and as usual, adopted the demeanor of a patriarch, and said:

"You're still young, there's no need to rush this. Our family has the means, so just keep your eyes open and choose with confidence in the future."

Minmin's eyes reddened, and the light and shadows in front of her suddenly blurred.

Minmin actually had a shadow in her heart all along.

She used to look forward to going home for the Chinese New Year, but once she actually got home, she couldn't help feeling scared.

She was terrified, especially when that old woman was pulling her along.

But she wasn't afraid of getting married.

What she feared was not being able to get rid of her mother...

She was afraid her mother would treat her like livestock, pushing her out without a word, forcing her to marry whoever was on the other side...

But at this moment, Minmin seemed to truly understand.

She had long since escaped that quagmire-like family of origin. Her uncle and aunt would always be her strongest support!
In that instant, I don't know why, but tears just kept streaming down my face.

Minmin bit her lip, lowered her head, and nodded vigorously while wiping away her tears and sobbing in suppressed sobs.

Thanks……

Minmin didn't have any other thoughts.

Only two words came to mind.

--Thanks.

Thank you for recognizing me and for your unwavering support!
Minmin cried uncontrollably, and Tian Guihua hugged her and took her to her room to calm her down.

Just then, the mischievous six- or seven-year-old boy ran back from outside, peered into the room through the doorway, and shouted:
"Second Aunt, I want to eat cookies!"

After Minmin returned to her hometown, she rarely spoke to Minrui.

But upon seeing Minmin, Minmin suddenly wiped away her tears, stepped forward, and, choking back sobs, pulled her close, saying:
"You should stay with your second aunt and study hard. Don't go back to that house."

Minmin wasn't actually worried that Minmin would suffer any pain because her parents favored boys over girls.

But she was worried that her keen senses might be led astray.

As for Minmin, he was still very young when Minmin left.

Minru was a complete stranger to this older sister.

When Minmin first came back, Minjie specifically told Minmin that she was his sister, which made Minmin a little more curious about her.

Minmin usually ignores Minmin, so Minmin doesn't like to get close to her either.

Now Minmin is taking the initiative to talk to Minmin. Minmin is bewildered by this sudden closeness, but she still nods unconsciously.

Minmin's eyes were still red, but she softened for once and patted Minmin's head gently.

The usually carefree and mischievous boy actually stopped, tilting his head slightly and obediently letting himself be petted.

After all, they are siblings; blood is thicker than water, and that can't be faked.

Tian Guihua watched this scene with satisfaction, then opened the locked cupboard, took out two cookies, and gave one to each of Minmin and Minrui. Before leaving, she jokingly said:

"You're only allowed one piece a day. This was bought by your uncle for your aunt. She hasn't even eaten any yet, but you've already eaten them all!"

"I understand, Second Aunt."

Like a sharp-eyed little glutton, she chuckled and started eating the cookie.

Minmin smiled when she saw this and gave him her own biscuit.

Fu Jingyou accompanied Lu Miao back to her hometown to recuperate, and the two of them had already assigned all their work to others beforehand.

But Minmin is different.

She is still an apprentice at the cultural center and has not yet officially graduated.

When I came back before the Lunar New Year, I asked my master for leave on top of my regular holiday, and we agreed that I would go back no later than the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After the siblings thawed their relationship, Minmin spent a few warm days in her hometown before having to start packing her bags.

Before heading to the station to return home, Minmin thoughtfully comforted Lu Miao.

She said that after she got back, she would go home to see her younger siblings during her rest time, and she would definitely take good care of them so that Lu Miao could focus on recovering.

Lu Miao was deeply gratified and patted Minmin's hand, reminding her to be careful on the road.

When Fu Jingyou was taking Minmin home, he was also instructed to call home beforehand so that his family could arrange to pick her up once she returned to Beijing.

Fu Jingyou readily agreed, telling her not to worry. (End of Chapter)
