Chapter 664: Chapter 669 Matchmaker’s Material_1
Qiao Duo’er gossiped, "Is Widow Xu living alone now?"
"She’s with Lao Guang. Lao Guang’s house collapsed, so he moved into Widow Xu’s," Tan Zhenghong said indifferently.
The child Widow Xu was carrying back then was Lao Guang’s, so now that they’re together, it’s somewhat justifiable.
Plus, it’s better that they pair up, to spare others the trouble.
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips, "Let’s not talk about this; it’s disgusting just hearing it."
"Alright, then test me with some brain teasers," Tan Zhenghong readily nodded in agreement.
His wife had said that frequently solving brain teasers could make one smarter, so he liked to do a couple whenever he had the chance.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Duo’er asked, "You can eat winter melon, cucumber, watermelon, pumpkin, but which ’melon’ can’t you eat?"
"Let me think..."
"You’re so dumb, hurry up and think!"
After a good while, Tan Zhenghong still couldn’t figure out the answer, so Qiao Duo’er disdainfully said, "It’s ’stupid melon’. Sigh, you’re already beyond help."
"I think this thing is just to bamboozle people," Tan Zhenghong complained.
Who could come up with such an odd answer anyway?
Qiao Duo’er snorted softly, "What kind of man admits he’s dumb?"
"Being a man isn’t about what you say, it’s about what you do."
Tan Zhenghong said without blushing or losing his breath.
Qiao Duo’er was speechless; now, Tan Zhenghong could spout off lewd jokes with ease, without feeling any pressure.
Leaning closer, Tan Zhenghong whispered in Qiao Duo’er’s ear, "Tonight, whenever you admit I’m a man, I’ll stop right then and there."
"Let’s try it tonight, then? See if you can manage not to blurt out," Qiao Duo’er retorted with a curl of her lip.
In that regard, men are at a disadvantage because no matter how strong they are, there’s always an end.
Tan Zhenghong said haughtily, "You’re a bad woman."
"There’s a popular saying where I come from, ’If a woman isn’t bad, a man won’t love her,’" Qiao Duo’er boasted.
"Wife, let’s change the subject, else I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself right now."
Tan Zhenghong admitted defeat; this inappropriate topic almost set him on fire.
He really wanted to carry her to the bedroom and love her thoroughly.
The couple chatted while they worked, and before long, the meat was all ready.
"Is this too much?" Qiao Duo’er looked at the mountain-like pile of meat skewers with concern; she thought it would be enough for her and Tan Zhenghong to eat for two days.
After pondering for a moment, Tan Zhenghong said, "Indeed, there is a bit too much. How about I call Erhu and Sister Lan over?"
"Yeah, Sister Lan made clothes for us before, and we haven’t thanked her yet."
Qiao Duo’er added hastily, "And call Brother Zhong and the two Puppies over as well."
This would be a good chance for them to bond as a family.
"I think you could switch careers and become a matchmaker; you’d certainly make a fortune," Tan Zhenghong teased.
Qiao Duo’er gave him a big eye roll, "If it were anyone else, I couldn’t care less."
In her past and present lives combined, there were only so many people she truly cared about.
As night fell, an enticing scent of meat drifted from the Tan Family, making passersby swallow their saliva.
"Auntie Four, what you’re making smells so good!" Er Ya’s eyes shone brightly, staring intently at the grilled meat.
Qiao Duo’er was anything but modest, "Of course, you guys can try some first in a bit."
Tan Zhenghong glanced at his wife, questioning her. He had already tasted it; the flavor was good, so what was she up to now?
But he knew she must have her reasons for doing so, and all he needed to do was watch from the side.
