Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

Indeed, considering the dozens of outsider families, there really are quite a few good girls here.

There's Zhao Shifu's daughter, the village chief's granddaughter, Zhu Chunrong's little daughter, the village's Dayan, Xiaomao, Xiaolan, Zhaodie... In just an instant, the old lady Hua thought of the fine young women in the valley.

It's true, there really are quite a lot. Those who caught her attention are all good-looking and pleasant to look at, polite and nice people.

Thinking it over, she had a few candidates in mind.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about?" Hua Jin waved her hand in front of her grandma several times, but couldn't reclaim the old lady's attention. This made her very curious, so much so that she couldn't help but speak up.

"Thinking about your brothers." Her granddaughter's voice was so familiar that without much thought, the old lady Hua replied subconsciously.

"My brothers? What's up with my big brother and second brother?" For a moment, Hua Jin really couldn't think of anything about her brothers.

Patting the bench beside her, the old lady Hua gestured for her obedient granddaughter to sit down.

"Don't you think your brothers are getting old?"

Hua Jin blinked and shook her head. If her grandma hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed. Even her big brother is only just twenty; in his day, being in your twenties still meant being a student, still pretty young!

"True." The old lady Hua was amused by her granddaughter's naive look. "You're still a child, you wouldn't think about these things. But your big brother and second brother are no longer young. Look at the village, kids their age generally have children already."

Only then did Hua Jin realize it, thinking of those young parents in the village who indeed weren't very old, and some of their kids were already a few years old.

"Grandma, you mean... you're considering matchmaking for big brother and second brother?"

Hua Jin immediately understood, no wonder grandma was talking about her brothers being old; considering the norm, her brothers were indeed not young anymore.

The old lady Hua nodded. Since there was nothing that couldn't be said out loud about this matter, she might as well hear her obedient granddaughter's opinion. She had quite a good relationship with many girls in the village, which might give her a clearer perspective.

Hua Jin's eyes lit up instantly. Life in the valley was too dull; helping her brothers find wives sounded like a plan.

She hugged her grandma's arm, her face full of gossip and leaned in saying, "Grandma, do you have a good candidate in mind? Is it for big brother or second brother? Tell me, Jin'er will help you consider."

Seeing her cheerful granddaughter, the old lady Hua couldn't help but chuckle, poking Hua Jin's forehead with her finger gently, "Have you gotten bored just coming home, eager to see your big brother and second brother in action?"

You have to admit, no one knows the kids better than their own family. With just one look, the old lady Hua had pretty much guessed her granddaughter's thoughts.

"No way! Grandma, I'm just concerned about my brothers, hoping to find them a beautiful, fair-skinned, considerate, and capable sister-in-law. It's not about wanting to see some action; Grandma, you're misunderstanding Jin'er..."

As she pretended to be angry, Hua Jin, much like when she was a child, turned her back and pouted, acting as if she wouldn't be happy unless coaxed, her actions smooth as ever, showcasing a full display of a little girl's tantrum, which made the old lady Hua laugh again.

This child was always dressed like a boy, and they were worried that over time she might actually consider herself a boy. But seeing this sulky, unhappy demeanor reassured them there was no need to worry.

"Alright, alright, not looking for action, don't be angry." Even though she knew the child was being intentionally playful, the old lady Hua enjoyed placating her. After all, she was her beloved granddaughter.

Hua Jin immediately beamed brightly as her cloud dispelled, "Grandma, you haven't mentioned if you have a girl in mind yet. Jin'er will help you scrutinize."

"Not really, I just had the thought. I'll discuss it with your mom later."

"By the way, do you have any good candidates here?" The old lady Hua looked at her granddaughter with hopeful eyes.

"Oh, no! A little disappointed, I thought you already had someone picked out?"

As for whether she herself had any good candidates, actually Hua Jin did have a few.

"Grandma, don't say, I do have a few people in mind. Would you like to hear them for reference?"

"Really? Who are they? Quickly tell me," the old lady Hua was somewhat impatient, her eyes gleaming brightly.

Hua Jin leaned closer to her grandma and whispered softly, "Grandma, how do you feel about Sister Dayan? Also, Liu from Uncle Youxin's family, and Xiuxiu from Uncle Zhu Rourong's family are all quite nice..."

In one breath, Hua Jin listed four or five girls from the valley she thought were good.

The girls her granddaughter named were indeed very nice, and the old lady Hua couldn't help but take them seriously, especially since a few were from the village, which meant she knew them quite well.

"Jin'er, which one do you like the most?" All were good girls; the old lady Hua felt like she had too many options. So she conveniently threw the question back to her obedient granddaughter.

If it was someone her granddaughter liked, they must have some outstanding qualities, right?

Hua Jin's eyes twinkled, "Grandma, how do you feel about Sister Dayan, would she match well with big brother?"

Sister Dayan likes her brother so much, as her sister, why not give a gentle nudge? Whether there's a connection depends on the two of them.

"Dayan?" It's true, Dayan was actually on the old lady Hua's list. Her age matched well with her eldest grandson, a mere two or three years apart. This girl had matured, and although not remarkably beautiful, she was quite good-looking and very capable, often visiting her granddaughter.

"This girl is quite nice; Grandma likes her too. She's cheerful-looking." The old lady Hua nodded.

"Grandma is right; Sister Dayan is indeed good, gentle, capable, and kind, with a firm sense of boundaries and remarkable resilience, able to endure hardships. Among all the sisters, Sister Dayan is the best in both literacy and skills training." Hua Jin agreed wholeheartedly, meanwhile emphasizing Sister Dayan's merits.

"Dayan is good at reading?" The old lady Hua was energized.

Being literate is excellent! This way, she wouldn't worry about her grandson and granddaughter-in-law having no common topics to discuss.

"Yes, Grandma, Sister Dayan is truly impressive. In such a short time, she's able to recognize all the characters in several beginner books and can recite quite a few articles too. All thanks to your obedient granddaughter; I'm amazing, right?"

Finally, proudly raising her tail, Hua Jin knew her grandma loved watching her act like this, so she didn't hesitate to show off a little.

"Amazing, amazing!" The old lady Hua's hands hunched to pinch her obedient granddaughter's cheek, teasing slightly.

"Also, Sister Xiuxiu from Uncle Rourong's family is quite nice too, although I haven't known her for long, this girl is quite down-to-earth and not pretentious. Her gaze is clear; Grandma, most importantly, she's strong, and she wields a pig butcher's knife skillfully. With such a strong wife, no one would dare to bully us. The only drawback is she isn't literate, but that's no problem. We'll teach her slowly, won't we?"

As she spoke, Hua Jin whispered to her grandma about some things she had seen unintentionally.

Actually, there's nothing much to it; the village has quite a few children, big and small, all of whom are quite united when big things arise. They have always stuck together outwardly, but after all, kids are still kids.
