Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Just then, Li Xiulian returned.

Navy blue trousers paired with a white short-sleeved shirt give off a business-like vibe.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Xiaoyang, you're here too?"

"Yeah, I'm here to freeload at your place."

"Welcome, welcome!"

Aunt Tian said, "Xiulian, you talk to Xiaoyang for a while, your dad and I will cook, it'll be ready in a bit."

"Old Li, can you lend me a hand?"

Old Li immediately went into the kitchen, deliberately leaving the two of them to talk.

"Xiulian, aren't you at work today?"

"Go ahead, my mom wants me to come home for dinner."

Ding Yang glanced at the kitchen.

"Xiulian, why do I feel like today's meal has a bit of a 'trap' feel to it?"

"Come on over, let's have dinner at my house. It's a favor my parents do for you."

"I know that, but I'm afraid of letting your parents down. To be honest, I haven't even thought about dating."

"Dude, can you stop being so narcissistic? Who wants to date you?"

"Okay, okay, that's good. I was just afraid you'd misunderstand."

"Go away, you narcissist."

Xiulian blushed again as she spoke.

In the kitchen,

Old Li asked, "Wife, did Xiao Yang buy the cigarettes and durian on the table?"

"Of course it is! He spent at least several hundred. This kid is generous. He hasn't even earned any money yet, and he's already spent several hundred. He's only been here two or three days, and he's already sent us fruit twice."

"Did you see our daughter? She's staring at Xiaoyang like his eyes are glued to him. I think they're a perfect match. You couldn't find a son-in-law like that even with a lantern."

"Sigh, honey, you don't understand men. Xiao Yang might not even like our daughter. He's giving us gifts, not because he wants to woo her."

"Old Li, what do you know? It's said that a man pursuing a woman is like climbing a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man is like piercing a thin veil. As long as our daughter takes the initiative, how could it not work?"

"Honey, I may not understand him, but I do understand men!"

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

"Old Li, introduce some business to him in the future. The worst thing about running a shop is not having business. If there is no business, he may go to do business elsewhere."

"Okay, I understand."

Not long after,

"Xiaoyang, dinner's ready!"

"good!"

"Xiaoyang, shall we have a drink?"

"Uncle Li, let's not drink anymore. You have to drive, and I have some things to do later. Let's drink another day."

"Okay, let's eat then."

The four people started eating.

"Xiulian, isn't your younger brother, Ayong, coming home for dinner?"

"Don't worry about him, there's a canteen in the community."

Aunt Tian actually cooked a whole table of dishes!

"Poached chicken, roast duck, steamed fish, seafood..."

Ding Yang felt a little touched, and suddenly felt a sense of warmth from home.

Aunt Tian asked, "Xiaoyang, how are Grandpa and Grandma feeling?"

"My grandparents are still in relatively good health, but they are getting old after all, so I usually call them every two days."

"Of course!"

"Xiaoyang, besides your grandparents, do you have any other relatives?"

"There are also some cousins, some are still studying, and some are working in other places. There are fewer and fewer young people in the countryside now, and it is basically just the elderly and children."

"Oh, are there any in Dongguan?"

"I have a cousin in Tangxia."

"Tangxia? Is it the Tangxia area in Shatou?"

"No, it's Tangxia Town in Dongguan, not Tangxia Village in Shatou."

"oh!"

"Xiaoyang, invite your cousin to come visit us sometime."

"OK."

Ding Yang was a little uncomfortable. Why was she asking all these questions? Did she really think of him as a son-in-law?

"Eat some vegetables..."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Xiaoyang, do you know how to play mahjong?"

"No, no, I don't gamble."

"It's good not to gamble!"

Ding Yang felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal and decided never to come again.

"Mom, really! You're asking people if they know how to play mahjong right after we're eating. Are you trying to get Xiaoyang to play mahjong with you?"

"Hehe, if you're free, the whole family can play a few rounds."

"I'm truly impressed!"

Half an hour later, the meal was finished.

Ding Yang sat down on the sand, and Old Li handed him another cigarette.

"Thanks!"

Xiulian said:

"Xiaoyang, your new store is opening. Should I invite some friends to come and cut the ribbon, and buy some flower baskets? We can also introduce you to some business while we're at it."

"No, no, no, this is such a shabby little shop, it's not like it sells gold or any kind of department store, why would it hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony? It's too embarrassing."

"How about we make a GG sign? I know a small GG company that can make banners."

"No need, the auntie just gave me a sign. I bought a can of spray paint, so I can just spray a few words on it."

"Uncle Li, Auntie, thank you for your hospitality. I'll be going now."

"Sit a little longer!"

"No, I need to set up the GG sign and bring over some more cement."

Old Li opened the drawer and took out a car key.

"Xiaoyang, this is the key to my little six-wheeled car. It's yours now. The car is parked behind my house, and you can drive it anytime."

Ding Yang took the car keys.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

"No rush. You're a new driver, so be careful while driving. You'll need to get your insurance renewed."

"good!"

"Xiulian, the vehicle registration certificate is in the car. Go down with Xiaoyang later, take the certificate, and buy third-party liability insurance. Dad only bought compulsory traffic accident liability insurance. Xiaoyang is a new driver, so we'll buy some third-party liability insurance to be on the safe side. Don't bother with vehicle damage insurance; the car won't be worth much if it gets damaged."

"Oh, I see!"

"Uncle Li, Auntie, I'll be going now."

"Um!"

Ding Yang went downstairs.

Xiulian also wanted to go downstairs.

Old Li suddenly grabbed her.

"Xiulian, tell Dad, do you like Xiaoyang?"

"dad……"

"Girl, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm worried you won't be able to handle him in the future, and you'll be the one who suffers in the end."

"Dad, I know."

"It's good that you understand. Men are like sand; sometimes the tighter you hold them, the easier they slip away. You need to know how to handle things."

"Dad, I understand!"

Ding Yang returned to the tin shack, which was now as hot as an oven. Even with a fan blowing, the room was still unbearably hot, so Ding Yang simply took off his clothes.

I took out the spray paint and shook it.

I'm going to spray a few "GG" letters on the GG sign that Aunt Tian gave me.

Wash the GG brand with a towel and dry it thoroughly.

Just as they were about to spray,

Xiulian walked in and saw Ding Yang, shirtless, fiddling with a GG sign.

"Xiaoyang, it's so hot! How can you stand it?"

"How could a tin-roofed house not be hot? But I can handle it; a calm mind keeps me cool."

Ding Yang was seen spraying paint at the metal sign.

"Dude, that's not how you spray-paint 'GG'! If you spray it like that, it turns into a fog, how will you even be able to make out the words?"

"So how do we do it?"

"You're so stupid! I've never seen anyone as dumb as you. You've ruined the GG badge."

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me how to do it?"
