"Wait, wait, wait," Ruan Ruan came to the outside of the study, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

The people who were waiting for news heard the knocking and assumed something was wrong.

Ruan Ruan pushed open the door, walked up to her grandfather, gave him a slightly unfriendly look, and then began to speak.

"Grandpa, can I make a phone call?" Ruan Ruan knew that her grandpa and the others were probably waiting for news from her father, but she had promised to go back today. Now that Huo Haocheng was back, he must be very worried to see her missing. She just wanted to tell him that she was fine and would be back in a few days, and wouldn't be delayed for long.

"You want to make a phone call?" Grandpa Ruan looked at Ruan Ruan, who seemed troubled. He figured she probably knew why they had been in the study, but she was still making a call at this time, so it must be a rather important call.

"Grandpa, it'll be quick, just a little while. I just want to keep the Huo family safe."

"Go ahead and call. Tell them to arrange a time in a few days for our family to visit them." Hearing that Ruan Ruan was there to ensure the Huo family's safety, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't dealt with Ruan Ruan's matter that day. He'd really been a bit negligent. Saying this, he pushed the phone on his desk towards Ruan Ruan.

After saying "Thank you, Grandpa," Ruan Ruan picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"Ding ding ding"

"Hello, this is Hongqi Brigade. I'm Secretary Li Dabing. Who are you looking for?" Today, only the secretary of Hongqi Brigade was present at the commune. He was originally supposed to go to town with them, but the brigade leader took the old secretary, so he decided to stay behind at the brigade.

"Uncle Li, it's me, Ruan Ruan. Could you please call my grandpa or grandma for me?" Hearing it was Secretary Li's voice, Ruan Ruan knew her uncle wasn't home today, so she had to ask him to call them.

"Ruan Ruan, okay, wait a moment, I'll go call your grandma first. Your uncle and grandpa both went to town today, so only your grandma should be home now." After saying that, Li Dabing turned around and walked to the loudspeaker, and began calling out to people over the village loudspeaker.

"Aunt Huo, Aunt Huo, your Ruan Ruan wants you to answer the phone! Your Ruan Ruan wants you to answer the phone! If you hear this, please come to the commune immediately!"

Fortunately, the brigade commune wasn't far from the Huo family's house; it was only a two-minute run away.

After lunch, Huo Haocheng, feeling down because his grandfather and father hadn't returned yet, heard the announcement over the loudspeaker. Upon hearing the name Ruan Ruan, he jumped up and ran. By the time the announcement finished, he was already at the commune gate.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, is Ruan Ruan still on the phone?" Huo Haocheng asked Li Dabing, slightly out of breath, showing how fast he had run.

"Haocheng, when did you get back? Why are you running so fast? Ruan Ruan's phone is still ringing, answer it quickly!" Secretary Li pointed to the still-connected phone in front of him.

"Hello, little sister, is that you?" Huo Haocheng picked up the phone, his slightly anxious voice reaching Ruan Ruan's ears.

"Brother, it's me, you're back." Ruan Ruan heard Huo Haocheng's voice and felt a pang of longing.

"Little sister, why aren't you home? I couldn't find you when I got back," Huo Haocheng said, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance.

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean to. Second Uncle came to arrange the wedding, and then my sister cried, so I came back with her. I thought you should be home by now, so I quickly called home to let you know, afraid you'd be sad if you came back and found I wasn't there. But I think I called too late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, sister. Just tell me you're doing well. It's never too late. Are you doing alright over there? Are they treating you well?"

"My grandparents, maternal grandparents, parents, and brothers are all very good to me. I received a lot of gifts today. Don't worry, I'm doing well."

"I'm relieved that they're treating you well. So, little sister, when are you coming back?"

"Grandpa told me to tell you that once they've arranged the time, you'll come back with me in a few days. Brother, how many days off do you have? What if I go back and you go back to the army, and then I won't see you again?" If Huo Haocheng goes back to the army after I go back, I'll feel a little sad, I don't know why.

"No, little sister, I'll be back for two months including my honeymoon, so don't worry, you won't miss me when you come back." Hearing that his sister also wanted to see him, Huo Haocheng's heart settled down. Thankfully, his sister was still his.

"Then it's settled. We'll call you when we leave. I have something to do now, so I'll hang up." Hearing that Huo Haocheng had taken his wedding leave to come back, Ruan Ruan felt a little shy, after all, she had never had a boyfriend in either of her lives.

"Then take good care of yourself."

"Okay, you too. Take care of yourself, goodbye brother."

Goodbye, little sister, I'll be waiting for you at home.

After finishing his call, Huo Haocheng reluctantly hung up the phone, comforting himself that it was okay, he would see his sister in a few days. Thinking this, he headed home, deciding to first go back and tell his grandmother about the Ruan family's upcoming visit.

"You've finished the call. Now come over and tell us about the Ruan family, and what's the deal with this brother of yours?" Anyone with a brain could tell from Ruan Ruan's words that her relationship with this 'brother' was definitely not ordinary.

After listening to what Grandpa Ruan said, Ruan Ruan recounted everything about her time in the Huo family, including her engagement to Huo Haocheng.

After saying that, Ruan Ruan lowered her head a little embarrassed. After all, no one would do something like arranging a husband for themselves at the age of 10.

After hearing Ruan Ruan's words, everyone's impression of the Huo family improved somewhat. However, regarding Ruan Ruan's engagement to Huo Haocheng, everyone was speechless.

"Sure enough, if you want a wife, you have to start from a young age," Ruan Shaolin's off-the-cuff remark broke the awkward silence for Ruan Ruan.

"It could also mean cultivating a loving husband from a young age," Gu Jingyan's words left Ruan Ruan speechless. What did she mean by cultivating from a young age? She hadn't cultivated any loving husbands!

"Alright, Wenzhen, you should go back and discuss it with Chuanji about the Huo family's plans. You and Chuanyan should accompany Ruan Ruan back to the Huo family to see if that young man from the Huo family can become our Ruan family's grandson-in-law. After all, Ruan Ruan chose him herself, and our Ruan family can't be so untrustworthy." So, the trip to the Huo family is temporarily arranged by Ruan's mother. The two elders of the Ruan family can't leave the compound; it would be too much trouble for others.
