Guan Yuxi had a dream for most of the night.
In his dream, Leng Lie was lying naked in a large room covered with pink Mao Zedong bills.
She could do whatever she wanted to him.
She lay on top of him counting money, one bundle, two bundles...
The banknotes were very obedient, flying in the air in a line to be read by her.
She woke up laughing.
Oh dear, Leng Lie is coming to propose marriage today.
She jumped up and even dressed up a bit.
Guan Yuxi thought she had gotten up very early.
Grandpa Guan, however, had arrived even earlier than her. He had not only filled a large vat with water but also chopped a lot of firewood.
"Grandpa, you rest, I'll do it."
Can you?
Grandpa Guan kept working with his hands and casually glanced at her.
"Well."
Guan Yuxi awkwardly smoothed her hair and stepped forward to snatch the axe from him.
"Then you shouldn't do it, I'll try it in a bit."
"Your leg isn't healed yet, let me change your dressing first."
Without saying a word, she pulled the old man to sit down in a chair.
Grandpa Guan's legs were very thin, not even as thick as Leng Lie's arms.
Furthermore, the scars were one after another, and the body hair was patchy, with some areas missing and others not.
Guan Yuxi's eyes reddened again as she watched.
Grandpa Guan awkwardly shrank his legs and bent over, "I'll do it myself."
"No! It'll be over soon."
Guan Yuxi composed herself and quickly changed the old man's dressing. "I'll cook delicious food for you every day from now on. You're too thin."
Grandpa Guan was somewhat moved and was about to reply, "Okay."
A series of crackling firecrackers exploded, and the grandfather and grandson both looked over.
Leng Lie pushed a chicken cart piled high with food to the gate of the courtyard.
His forehead was slightly sweaty, and his handsome face was slightly flushed. Amidst the smoke of firecrackers, he calmly walked into the courtyard.
"Brother Lie!"
Guan Yuxi was overjoyed and was about to step forward.
Old Master Guan's face darkened, and he stopped her, "You're not allowed to go!"
Guan Yuxi stuck out her tongue, gave Leng Lie a helpless look, and obediently retreated.
Leng Lie shook his head slightly, indicating that he could handle it.
If even the old man can't get past this hurdle.
He doesn't deserve to marry her!
"Wow, where did Leng Lie strike it rich? He even gave away a whole truckload of stuff just for getting engaged!"
"Hmph, a cartload of cabbages is nothing. If it's to marry Xiaoxi, I'll send ten cartloads."
"Ha, what does your family have? Can it compare to Leng Lie's family?"
"Exactly, who knows what good stuff might be hidden under the cabbage!"
The villagers and educated youth, attracted by the sound of firecrackers, pointed and commented on the rooster cart.
Leng Lie ignored him and calmly knelt before Grandpa Guan, "Grandpa Guan, please marry Xiao Xi to me."
I may not be good with sweet words, but I swear on my life:
Xiaoxi will be the most important person in my life.
Whether it's parents, brothers, sisters, or children, none can surpass them!
I will love her and protect her more than anything!
Leng Lie was dressed very formally today, in a dark blue Zhongshan suit, which made him look even more handsome and dignified.
His expression was resolute, his gaze firm, filled with sincerity and enthusiasm.
Guan Yuxi couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
Taking the handkerchief from Grandpa Guan, she blushed and lowered her eyes, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa Guan looked serious, yet seemed to have a deeper meaning, "You're sure you can't compare to your parents and siblings?"
Leng Lie looked at him with suspicion, assuming he was referring to the man his mother had remarried.
He nodded affirmatively.
Grandpa Guan nodded slightly and looked at his granddaughter, "Are you willing to marry him?"
Guan Yuxi was overjoyed and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.
Grandpa Guan scoffed, "Forget it, daughters grow up and leave home. Pick a good day as soon as possible and come pick her up!"
"Stop with all that fancy stuff, just focus on living a good life from now on."
"Let's bring out all the engagement gifts!"
The thought of that string of firecrackers filled Leng Lie with embarrassment.
He, a "bad element," wanted to marry the granddaughter of an old revolutionary.
It is indeed not advisable to be too high-profile.
He glanced at Guan Yuxi discreetly.
Guan Yuxi returned his smile with a sweet smile.
The wheels of history keep turning forward, and the issue of class composition will soon cease to be an obstacle.
Two bundles of medium-sized noodles, two small jars of oil, and two bags of fruit candy;
Six bags of various kinds of rice, six large cabbages, and six pieces of cloth;
A basket containing twelve wedding cakes, twelve eggs, and twelve large white steamed buns.
There were also two chickens, two pieces of pork, and two large fish.
Although the gift was not considered heavy, he followed ancient customs and sealed everything in red paper, both in small and large envelopes.
This is enough to show how much they value Guan Yuxi.
"Oh, as expected of a descendant of Scholar Leng, you are quite polite."
"I wish my son-in-law valued my daughter this much."
"Pah, how can your daughter compare to Xiaoxi?"
"Yes, if Xiaoxi were willing to marry me, I would be willing to pay double the dowry!"
......
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
Although some people still couldn't help but make a few sarcastic and cynical remarks.
But the speculation that Leng Lie still had "untapped wealth" finally disappeared.
Guan Yuxi opened a bag of candy and distributed it to the elders, saying, "Thank you all for taking care of me in the past, uncles, grandpas and grandmas."
Today, please share in the joyous atmosphere.
Bai Qin looked at the mountain of engagement gifts piled on the table, her face contorted with jealousy.
If only I had known earlier that Leng Lie, that rough fellow, could produce so many things at once.
She might as well do it herself.
Why should Guan, that idiot, get such a great deal?
