As Ji Zimu, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the station, an A8 stopped in front of him. The window rolled down and Ji Zixi, wearing sunglasses, stuck his head out, "Brother, get in the car!"

Ji Zimu put the suitcase in the trunk and then sat in the passenger seat.

Ji Zixi looked at his elder brother and said with a smile: "Brother is getting more and more handsome."

"Don't think that I won't settle accounts with you just because you flatter me. Tell me, what's going on between you and Pei Yan?"

"What could it be? Is it not okay for me to reject one of my suitors just because I am not interested in him?"

"Okay, although Pei Yan is excellent, he is not good enough for my sister. But I heard from them that Pei Yan was heartbroken. I thought you abandoned him."

"Brother, I went to see you during my sophomore year, and I only met Pei Yan once. After we separated, he kept writing to me. I replied one or two times out of politeness, but then nothing happened. I didn't know him well at all, and there was nothing to talk about, let alone our relationship."

"That's good."

Zi Xi was very dissatisfied, "What's good about that? I see you don't believe me at all, and you're on the side of your comrade."

"Then I apologize. I heard from your second brother that you have had more than one boyfriend since you started college."

Zixi shouted, "Okay, so it was my second brother who said so many bad things about me behind my back. There weren't that many. I only had one boyfriend, who was in my freshman year and always wanted to control me. We broke up after two months. I can't stand that!"

Zimu glanced at Zixi and asked, "Are you so excited that you don't want to drive?"

"Knowing that you are my mother's great son, isn't it okay for me to be scared?"

Zimu turned his gaze to the window. His hometown had changed so much. It seemed like it had only been two years since he last came back. There were many tall buildings and a high-speed railway.

In the year 108, the market started to develop rapidly, especially the real estate industry. Buildings popped up like mushrooms after a rain. Qiao Anan and her family's house was demolished, and they were compensated with one 82-square-meter apartment and another -square-meter apartment.

Qiao Anan has three children in her family. Not to mention getting married in the future, there are not enough rooms even now. The largest apartment only has three rooms.

Ji Quan transferred his business here when the market was just being developed. The first people to try it out made a fortune. Finally, the two brothers discussed and bought a double-row villa in the property developed by Ji Quan's company.

The car drove through the gate and stopped in the yard. Zixi rolled down the window and shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandpa and grandma, big brother is back."

Zixi has such an exaggeratedly loud voice that it’s hard for family members not to hear it.

The eldest son has a simple family background, so the Ji Mancang couple live with the eldest son, but there is no wall between the two houses, so they are actually like one family.

No matter how many grandchildren there are, the eldest grandson is always different. What's more, the eldest grandson has not been back for more than two years. Ji's mother hugged Qianqian and was so happy that she cried.

"You've become darker and thinner. Is it hard to be a soldier? It's all your dad's fault for forcing you to enter the military academy."

Zimu smiled and said, "Grandma, don't blame my dad. It was me who wanted to take the exam. Nothing is as majestic as a military uniform. I like this profession."

Mother Ji then changed the subject, "Are you hungry? Tell grandma what you want to eat and she will make it for you."

"Grandma, I ate on the way. Let's have dinner together."

My uncle's cousin Zi Yan ran down excitedly, "Brother, it's me, Zi Yan."

"Although it is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, you haven't changed to the point that I can't recognize you. I recognized you at the first sight."

Ziyan took Zimu's arm and said, "Don't stand outside and talk. It's so hot in the sun, aren't you feeling hot?"

The first floor is the guest room, the second floor is Ji Cheng and Qiao Anan’s bedroom, and the other one is Zi Xi’s.

Brothers Zimu and Ziyang's rooms are on the third floor.

"Where's mom?" Zimu asked his sister.

"I wanted to go pick you up together, but the client came unexpectedly and went to discuss business. It's impossible for our dad to come back early."

Zi Yan asked, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zimu patted his cousin's head, "Chuyi, what do you want to do?"

"Don't call me Chuyi!" Ziyan stamped her feet and acted like a spoiled child to Ji's mother, "Grandma, it's all your fault!"

The four children in the family are all the favorites of Ji's mother. "Blame me, it's all my fault, but you are really a freshman."

"A person born on the first day of the first lunar month is called Chuyi? Then my brother and sister were born on the sixth day of the first lunar month, why aren't they called Chuliu?"

Zi Xi smiled and said, "You can't have three Chuliu, right? But Chuyi sounds so nice. My friend even praised your name as nice and poetic."

"Really?"

"Really? The first day sounds good, but the sixth day sounds terrible."

Qiao Anan was very happy to see her eldest son. Zimu was already 27 years old. After graduating from the military academy, he joined the company and was now the deputy company commander.

It's difficult to see my son because I'm busy in the army.

In the evening, the family sat in the yard and chatted. Ji's mother asked, "Zi Mu, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zimu glanced at his grandmother and said with a smile: "Grandma, how old am I? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mother Ji glared at him and said, "You are already 27 years old, why are you not in a hurry? When your father was your age, he was already engaged."

Zimu was helpless, "Grandma, this is a new society, early marriage and early childbearing are not popular anymore."

"What new society or old society? Your grandmother is right. Getting married and starting a family early is the right path. Look at your brother. Although he is not married, he has a girlfriend. Look at you. You don't even have a girlfriend. I am worried about you."

Ji Mancang became more and more anxious as he spoke. His old friends of the same age as him already had great-grandchildren, but he didn't even have a granddaughter-in-law.

Zimu really felt a lot of pressure.

Qiao Anan checked her eldest son's bed and made sure nothing was left out before she felt relieved.

"Do you remember your Aunt Xu's daughter?"

Zi Mu thought for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. Even if we meet, we won't recognize each other."

An An took out a photo from her bag and said, "Look, this is Xu Manli's daughter."

Xu Manli's daughter was born from her remarriage. The man was Xu Manli's high school classmate and also her secret crush. He had been silently paying attention to Xu Manli.

After learning that Xu Manli was divorced, the male classmate began to pursue her. At that time, the gay man's parents disagreed. How could a good son marry a divorced woman? But they could not resist their son's insistence and finally acquiesced to the marriage.

Every summer the couple would come to Kaishi to escape the heat. Qiao Anan and Xu Manli would meet each other and often talk on the phone.

Zimu took the photo and saw a girl with a high ponytail and wearing a beige dress. She looked gentle and intellectual.

Zimu looked at the photo and said nothing.

Qiao Anan took the photo back and said, "If you are not satisfied, Mom will find another one for you. There is no rush."

Zimu smiled and said, "Mom, you misunderstood. I am not dissatisfied."

Qiao Anan's eyes lit up, "So you agree?"

"Let's look around first."

Qiao Anan was very happy, "That's great, I'll call your Aunt Xu right now and find a time for you to meet."

"Mom, don't worry, let's talk about it in two days."

After his mother left, Zimu stood in front of the window, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

【Hello, are you home? 】

There was a pleasant female voice on the other side.

[I'm home now. My family arranged a blind date for me. Don't you want to come? ]

The voice on the other end was obviously unhappy: [Why would I go on a blind date if you're on a blind date?]

[Because my blind date is you]
