Chapter 137 A person is like a rainbow; you only know they exist when you encounter them.
Lu Ran laughed apologetically, "Sorry, it just suddenly dawned on me."
"Brother-in-law, you really don't know how to make girls happy at all. It's only because you're handsome that you're single forever."
Lu Ran didn't take Wu Xiaomeng's comments to heart.
He pulled Cheng Ning close and said, "Say what you just said again? Who stays single forever?"
Cheng Ning blushed and said, "Xiao Meng was just joking."
Lu Ran nodded: "I know, I just wanted an excuse to hug you."
Cheng Ning lowered her head, not daring to respond.
Wu Xiaomeng was stunned: "Brother-in-law, are you good at flirting or just a blockhead? I'm a little confused!"
"What does it mean to be good at flirting, and what does it mean to be a blockhead?"
Lu Ran suddenly became serious and asked this question.
"One type is a charming and smooth-talking guy who knows how to win a girl's heart and is popular with her! The other type is the opposite: a clueless, awkward guy who doesn't know how to talk to girls and is clueless about how to win their hearts."
Wu Xiaomeng put her hands on her hips and answered with a serious expression.
The two, who had just been joking and laughing, suddenly became serious, as if they were having a philosophical discussion.
This gave Cheng Ning, who was standing next to her, a strange feeling, and she felt that it made people want to laugh even more.
But since Lu Ran and her cousin were both so serious, she had no choice but to hold back her laughter.
Lu Ran shook his head: "From beginning to end, I never thought about being someone that others would like, let alone being a prince of love."
"I just be myself, my most authentic self."
"Xiao Meng, I have a question for you."
Wu Xiaomeng blinked: "What?"
"If a guy tries to get closer to you by doing everything he says and does perfectly to the extent you like, do you think you'll definitely be happy together and never argue?"
Wu Xiaomeng thought for a moment and said, "If everything is perfect, as long as he's not too ugly, I should be able to accept him. As for whether we'll be together or whether we'll argue after we're together, I haven't thought that far ahead."
"But as long as he continues to be this good, I don't think I'll argue with him."
"Then you're in danger."
Why?
Wu Xiaomeng was the one who corrected the mistake first, but now Lu Ran has turned the tables on her. She is particularly curious whether her brother-in-law is just teasing her or if there is any real reason behind it.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Think about it, everyone is an individual. How can you possibly please everyone in every way? Everyone has flaws."
"I've made your sister Ning cry several times already!"
Cheng Ning gave him a wronged look, thinking to herself, "How dare you say that?"
Lu Ran, oblivious to Cheng Ning's gaze, continued, "When two people are together, the most important thing is not to discover each other's strengths."
"It depends on whether you can accept the other person's shortcomings and flaws in daily life over a long period of time."
"For example, teeth grinding in sleep, emotional instability while playing games, smelly feet, and on a larger scale, infidelity, etc."
Wu Xiaomeng thought about it carefully for a while after listening.
I realized that what my brother-in-law said did make sense.
She has a recent, familiar, and clear example right beside her.
Those are her parents.
Wu Xiaomeng had heard her father say that her mother wasn't like this back then. Although the two met through a blind date, they spent some time together before getting married and fell in love with each other before becoming husband and wife.
My dad once said that back then, my mom was beautiful, generous, and cheerful—everything he liked about her.
However, ever since she could remember, she had never noticed any signs of affection between her parents.
They argue every day. If she weren't so easygoing, she would have suffocated in this family atmosphere long ago.
Wu Xiaomeng wondered, if time could turn back, and her parents could go back to when they first met with their current memories, would they still get married?
Wu Xiaomeng's views on relationships have gradually changed.
"So brother-in-law, you're neither a blockhead nor a heartthrob, you're just yourself. No matter how much time passes, Ning-jie will always love the real you."
Lu Ran nodded with an expression that said, "This child is teachable."
"So smart, you understand immediately."
"A person is like a rainbow; you only know they exist when you encounter them."
Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning into his arms: "True love is about accepting each other's shortcomings and understanding each other."
"Don't let your sister Ning's obedient appearance in front of me fool you. Sometimes she can be incredibly stubborn and will even lie to me."
"But in my eyes, they are all very cute."
Cheng Ning pounded his chest: "I, I didn't."
Wu Xiaomeng was suddenly annoyed by being fed dog food.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, we agreed to build a snowman, why are you having some kind of enlightenment session on the snow?"
"So what if you've attained enlightenment? You're deliberately showing off your love in front of me."
Cheng Ning dared not let Lu Ran hug her anymore, so she quickly broke free and went to build a snowman with her cousin.
···
Happy times always pass quickly.
As the year-end holidays gradually come to an end for people from all walks of life, those who returned home are once again boarding the same buses they came on, heading to work or school in other places.
The same scene is playing out all over the country.
However, there are a few exceptions.
For example, Guzi Village, where Lu Ran lives.
After the fifteenth, most of those who were going to leave had already left.
But not only did the young people from Guzi Village who went home for the Spring Festival not leave, but even today, the 16th, some are still coming back from other places.
the reason is simple.
The Lu family established an agricultural group company, and although they claimed to be local villagers, they still had to strictly adhere to the recruitment process.
However, in reality, there are some leniency policies for young people from the village.
As long as you're not too stupid, and you can read and understand basic algorithms, you can pass the test.
The company building is now under construction.
Everyone in the village, young and old, put in their best effort to help.
The Lu family has the resources to build a building; anyone with a sound mind knows what that means.
This demonstrates that the Lu family possesses absolute strength and is not engaging in petty squabbles.
Which company with such strength wouldn't hire highly educated and qualified individuals? Therefore, some smart people have already notified their children at home to immediately quit their current jobs and rush home.
Village chief Wang Helai has been grinning from ear to ear these past few days.
He went to the Lu family's house every day.
At this moment, Lu Ran is at home.
The village chief, shaking Lu Changshu's hand excitedly, said, "Changshu, your family has produced a fine son!"
"The construction project alone has boosted the development of the county town. County leaders personally wrote to me, saying that our village is doing a great job."
"Also, the leaders said you can work with confidence, and as long as it's reasonable and legal, they will always provide you with the most convenient and efficient support."
Lu Changshu smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, leaders."
"Village chief, I have a favor to ask. Could you please inquire about this for me?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"I need an agricultural technology team, but after looking around these past few days, I've found that many positions are already filled. I'm wondering if we could hire some of the technical staff who don't have crucial job duties?"
