Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 1276 Substitute Wife 57
"I'm used to getting up early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Min Baoyi put down his hoe and went to fetch water. "I cooked a pot of porridge and chopped these cabbages."

"Then I'll stir-fry some hot cabbage."

"I'll do the dishes."

"No need, big brother, go dig the vegetable patch."

"Let me do it. The water is cold so early in the morning."

Min Baoyi did the housework quickly and carefully. He tore the cabbage into the right size and smacked two cloves of garlic. "It will taste better if you add some of this."

"You are a good eater."

"My mother likes to put garlic in her cooking, and I'm used to it."

Min Baoyi washed the pot again and lit the fire again. Yuanchun washed up and started stir-frying.

By the time Old Lady Min got up, the meal was ready.

Old Mrs. Min looked at the steaming porridge, and her eldest son, goddaughter, and eldest grandson sitting on her left and right. Her happy eyes smiled with a slit.

How nice it would be if we were a family?
An idea suddenly popped up in Old Mrs. Min's mind. She looked at her eldest son, then at her goddaughter. The more she looked, the more she felt that the two were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

So, after dinner, Min Baoyi was rushed by his mother to the kitchen to help Yuanchun wash the dishes. Then he was rushed by Old Lady Min to Yuanchun's store to help sell clothes.

Seeing him, a tough guy standing in the middle of the store, looking a little helpless, Yuanchun smiled and said, "Brother, there is a small rest room in the store. If you are tired, go in and lie down for a while."

"I...let me help you."

"No, go in and rest." "I'm not tired."

"Yuanchun, let him be busy, and we mother and daughter will go in and sit for a while." Old Mrs. Min dragged Yuanchun to the small lounge, leaving Min Baoyi outside to watch the store and look after Xiao Mantou.

"Godmother, do you have anything to say to me?" Yuanchun poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "Godmother, it just so happens that I have something to say to you. I plan to move into the store tomorrow."

After all, if an elderly bachelor and a divorced woman live in the same yard for a long time, people will gossip about them.

Old Lady Min guessed Yuanchun's thoughts and said with a smile, "No need to move, no need to move. They have their mouths on their bodies. Let them say whatever they want. As long as we don't care, it's fine."

"But my eldest son is a good man, with a good temper and good character. He is also the best-looking in this alley. Many girls have liked him since he was a child. If he hadn't joined the army at the age of sixteen and rarely came back, I'm afraid matchmakers would have knocked on the door of my house."

"Yuanchun girl, I don't know if my silly son is lucky enough to be looked at differently by you."

Yuanchun: "..."

What do you mean?
"Yuanchun girl, Baoyi is much older than you. Do you dislike his age?"

"Godmother, I am a divorced woman with a son. How can I be worthy of a good man like my eldest brother?" Yuanchun said with a smile, "I don't dare to hope to be your daughter-in-law, but I promise you that I will be a good daughter."

"You are such a good girl, I can't bear to let you become someone else's daughter-in-law." Old Mrs. Min made up her mind to encourage her eldest son to pursue Yuanchun.

Such a good girl became someone else's daughter-in-law. She must be heartbroken.

So, in the next half month, Yuanchun clearly felt that the way Min Baoyi looked at her had changed, and he even liked to show his affection to her for no reason.

On Yuanchun's birthday, Min Baoyi also bought a pair of couple watches and gave her the women's watch, "Happy birthday, this is a gift."
