After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Song Chunmiao was taken aback by her mother's sudden question, so she frowned slightly.

"I can't really explain it, but I just feel like he's different from the other people I know in our village. He's very sweet-talking and caring, but there's always this feeling that he's unreliable!"

Song Chunsheng, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, saying, "I feel the same way!"

He hadn't originally thought about how to have a frank discussion with his mother and sister about Sun Jianshe, but now that the topic had come up, he might as well cut the Gordian knot and resolve this troublesome matter as soon as possible.

This way, my sister won't be disturbed during her future college entrance exam preparation.

So he immediately said, "There's something else I just discovered today..."

"What's up?"

Upon hearing this, his mother and Chunmiao immediately asked him with curiosity.

Seeing that his chance had come, Chunsheng pulled his sister to sit with their mother on the kang (a heated brick bed). He then quietly closed the door and moved a chair from the table to sit opposite them.

Then, he quickly recounted in detail the entire process of Sun Jianshe meeting Li Yufeng at home that morning.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'e, the mother, frowned.

A palpable sense of disgust flashed across Song Chunmiao's face. "What kind of person is he?!"

"sister!"

Song Chunsheng looked at Song Chunmiao with a serious expression and said earnestly, "I think... actually, Sun Jianshe really isn't a good match for you!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chunmiao immediately looked at Chunsheng with a surprised expression.

In her past memories, her younger brother was well protected by his parents and the seven sisters from a young age. Apart from studying well and obeying the adults in the family, he rarely paid attention to anything else.

Especially when it comes to things like his sisters' blind dates, he never asks about them, let alone offers any advice.

So at that moment, when Chunsheng said that Sun Jianshe and she were not suitable for each other, Chunmiao instantly felt that her younger brother Chunsheng seemed to have grown up and begun to play an important role in the future destiny of the family.

"You really think so?"

Chunmiao looked at Chunsheng with some relief.

"Of course, sis, that's exactly what I think!"

Chunsheng paused for a moment, then continued, "I think someone as wonderful as you should find someone even better to match you. Let's not talk about looks for now, but he has to be a decent person. Most importantly, he has to be good to only you. Only with someone like that can you live a smooth and comfortable life from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Chunmiao couldn't help but bite her lip hard, wipe her already slightly red eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay! I'll listen to you, I'll definitely find someone who's only good to me..."

Looking at her two children, Liu Yan'e felt a mix of joy and inexplicable melancholy as she saw how affectionate the siblings were.

The sixth daughter, Chunzao, had been betrothed to a good young man from Lishuping Village before the Lunar New Year. Although her son-in-law was an ordinary farmer, he was a good person and his family was well-off. She believed that Chunzao would have a good life after marriage.

Therefore, he wanted to find a good family for his seventh daughter, Chunmiao.

Sunjiahe Village, located in Huaxi Commune, is close to the county seat. The villagers are all doing quite well. If you have to compare it with Songjiazhuang, it is much better. Even compared with Lishuping Village, it is definitely far superior.

If Chunmiao can be married off to that wealthy place, her life will be more comfortable for the rest of her days.

What she found regrettable was that she never expected Jianshe's son to have that problem, which was definitely not a good thing for her daughter!

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, the future of their child would have been uncertain!

She just needed to think carefully about what decent reason she could come up with to fob off Sun Fengxia and put an end to this marriage that hadn't even been officially announced yet!

After considering all this, Liu Yan'e gently wiped away the tears hidden in the corners of her eyes.

"Fine! If my child doesn't want to, nothing anyone says matters!"

"I'll go find your Aunt Fengxia in a bit and ask her to pass on a message to her distant nephew, saying that we in Sunjiahe Village are not worthy of their attention and that they should look elsewhere!"

Looking at his mother's resolute eyes and his sister's beaming smile, Chunsheng secretly gave his mother a thumbs up for her decisiveness!

Just then, Song Mantun, the father, shouted loudly from outside, "Chunsheng, your brother Junwu has been waiting for you in the backyard for ages! Come out and see him, see what he wants to see you about!"

"Oh right, Junwu is still waiting for me. How could I forget about that?"

As Song Chunsheng spoke, he opened the door.

At this moment, Song Mantun also lifted the curtain. As soon as he entered, he saw that his wife Liu Yan'e and daughter both had red eyes, as if they had just been crying.

He paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Hurry up and cook! We have to go to the fields after dinner. Why are you two hiding inside crying?"

"Mind your own business, I was just having a private chat with the kids!"

After saying that, Liu Yan'e left the room without turning her head and went straight to the kitchen.

After Song Chunmiao followed him out, she caught a glimpse of Zhang Junwu standing under the pomegranate tree in the backyard, whispering something to his younger brother.

Upon seeing Zhang Junwu, a surge of resentment welled up inside her again, and she immediately wanted to go over and confront him to vent her anger.

Seeing her younger brother Chunsheng's beaming smile, her anger instantly subsided, and she immediately turned to the kitchen to help her mother and sister cook.

"Chunsheng, don't leave Junwu standing there doing nothing. Come to your room, make some tea, and you two brothers can chat slowly!"

Song Mantun had always had a good impression of the young man from the outsider family in the village, especially since Zhang Junwu had accumulated a lot of good reputation in the village over the years. This made all the elders like him, who had sons in their families, hope that their children could get closer to Junwu.

Even if they can't learn anything useful from him, if they can absorb Junwu's masculine and upright spirit over time, it will at least prevent their children from going astray in the future!

"No need, Uncle Mantun. I'll just chat with Chunsheng for a bit, then I'll be leaving!"

Zhang Junwu came here today already with a heavy burden on his mind. The fact that he saw Chunzao and Chunmiao's disapproving expressions as soon as he entered made his already guilty feeling even heavier.

Therefore, I wanted to end this visit as soon as possible, and wait for an opportunity to ask Chunsheng out alone, even if it was just an excuse.

Song Mantun smiled and nodded to Zhang Junwu, then turned and went into his east room.

Young people have their own ways of getting along. As long as they feel comfortable with each other, let them be. As an elder, he will only exchange a few polite words.

"Brother Junwu, let's go to my room for a while. This is your first time visiting my house, so I'll show you what my room looks like!"

Zhang Junwu initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Song Chunsheng's beaming smile and undisguised sincerity in his eyes, and also having a lot of questions he wanted to ask him, he immediately agreed.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Junwu was stunned by the wall full of certificates of merit.

"Chunsheng, you're amazing! You've won so many awards."

When he saw the neatly stacked books on the cabinet in front of him and the bookshelf on the right windowsill, he felt an even stronger urge to befriend the boy with the childlike face.

Although Zhang Junwu only has a junior high school education, he has always loved reading and enjoys getting to know cultured people.

However, the militia members he spent every day with were not only poorly educated, but also lacked common interests.

So today, when he entered Song Chunsheng's room and saw the walls covered with certificates of merit and rows of books, he instantly felt like he had met a kindred spirit.

Soon, Song Chunsheng noticed all of this in his eyes.

"Junwu, what kind of books do you usually like to read?"

With a smile, Song Chunsheng casually asked a question.

"I...read all kinds of books, as long as they have words and I can understand them, I'll read them!"

Chunsheng was instantly amused by his words, "Then you must have something you're interested in, like novels or something?"

"I love reading novels the most. I've read all of them, including 'Railway Guerrillas,' 'Tracks in the Snowy Forest,' and 'Red Crag'!"

Chunsheng nodded thoughtfully. He had read all those novels, all of them revolutionary in nature.

Upon learning that Zhang Junwu enjoyed reading novels, he immediately turned and walked to the window, pulled two light gray-covered novels from the bookshelf, and handed them to Zhang Junwu. "Have you read 'How the Steel Was Tempered' and 'War and Peace'?"

Zhang Junwu immediately took the book from Chunsheng and asked with a curious look, "I've heard of 'How the Steel Was Tempered,' it's a foreign novel, right?"

Chunsheng smiled and nodded, then briefly recounted the general plot of the novel to Zhang Junwu, who was immediately captivated by the story.

When he noticed several other novels with different titles on the windowsill besides the two mentioned, he asked in surprise, "Have you read all the novels on the bookshelf?"

"Yes, I've seen them all, and some more than once or twice!"

Zhang Junwu immediately pointed to the two thickest books on the windowsill and asked, "You've read both *Dream of the Red Chamber* and *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*?"
