"Isn't it time you changed your tone? Call me great-grandfather." Pei Xinghe's tone was filled with a hint of grievance.
God knows how he felt every time he heard Gu Qingmeng call Pei Heixiong grandpa.
Gu Qingmeng touched her nose a few times and felt guilty for two seconds, but she didn't feel guilty anymore after a while. Pei Heixiong was her grandfather's friend, so there was nothing wrong with her calling him Grandpa Pei.
"He was my grandfather's comrade-in-arms. There is nothing wrong with me calling him Grandpa Pei. Calling him Great-Grandpa just makes my grandfather a generation younger." Gu Qingmeng said righteously.
"How about I talk to my dad and I'll follow you and call you Grandpa Pei."
Pei Xinghe's face was full of doting, as if he would go to his father to talk about this as long as Gu Qingmeng agreed.
Gu Qingmeng choked. She was joking. They were real relatives, so what was their generational status? She believed that if Pei Xinghe said that, he would be beaten by the captain!
"Forget it, just call him great-grandfather!" She believed that Pei Heixiong would not let her grandfather call him uncle!
"Qingqing is so nice."
Pei Xinghe's tone was a bit coquettish, and Gu Qingmeng's heart skipped a beat. Damn, how could this man have such a beautiful voice? I wonder if he can sing a song. If he could sing a few lines, it would be perfect.
She has a pretty face and a good figure, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a nice voice. If she could be more harmonious in those aspects, I can't imagine how well she will eat in the future.
Gu Qingmeng's eyes made Pei Xinghe feel as if he had been exposed. He felt that what Gu Qingmeng was dreaming about now was what he dreamed about every night.
At this moment, the little grandfather was in the cowshed, and there were only two people in the yard. Pei Xinghe became bolder and reached out several times to hold the girl's white and tender hand. His palms were sweaty with nervousness.
Gu Qingmeng couldn't bear it anymore and took the man's hand. His hesitation affected her mood. She saw rows of shelves in the room, and on the shelves were wooden boxes about ten centimeters in size. Inside the boxes were sawdust. She knew at a glance that this was nutrient soil specially used for growing mushrooms.
"You want to grow mushrooms? You're quite smart! Growing them now is perfect for selling in the cold weather. Don't you have some leeks and celery? They'll sell for a fortune in the winter, and you'll be able to brag about it for the whole year just by eating three-fresh dumplings during the Chinese New Year."
Gu Qingmeng planned to put a few wooden boxes in the house in a few days, and then dig some leek roots and plant them, so that he would have more vegetables in the winter and it would be more convenient to smuggle them out of the space.
Otherwise, she couldn't bear to eat cabbage, potatoes and radishes all winter.
"Qingqing is so smart. I never thought of growing vegetables to sell."
Pei Xinghe was generous with his praise, and looked enlightened, which made Gu Qingmeng feel embarrassed and patted him.
"Don't be ridiculous! You can even think of growing mushrooms, but not vegetables. They're hard to transport in winter! They'll freeze when they get to town."
She didn't listen to any flattery. The west wing was full of mushrooms, and the things in the east wing opened Gu Qingmeng's eyes. It turned out to be a simple oil refining equipment. Considering how much the villagers cherished walnuts, she knew that this was a place specifically for pressing walnut oil.
"We'll start pressing oil these days. Walnut oil, sesame oil, peanut oil. Tell me what kind of oil you want to eat. I'll save some for you. Peijiagou is poor, unlike Lijia Village, which has a ginseng factory. We can only find ways to make a living and exchange oil for food."
Pei Xinghe felt a little nervous when he took his beloved girl to see the property he had purchased, fearing that she would look down on it. He knew in his heart that the girl's knowledge far exceeded his own, and she must have seen better people!
Pei Xinghe knows his own limitations, and all he can offer is Chicheng's sincerity.
"Qingqing, this is the wealth I've saved over the years. I'll definitely work harder to earn money in the future! I can support you and our future children, so you don't have to worry about money and food. Can you give me a chance to take care of you?"
Pei Xinghe finished his words haltingly and handed the passbook to Gu Qingmeng. This was all his fortune, but he always felt something was not right, but he couldn't find what was wrong?
Gu Qingmeng was stunned. What did this man mean? Was he proposing? But she hadn't expected him to be so rich! He had 10,000 yuan in his bankbook, almost as much as her father's.
The man didn't take the money he made from making mooncakes last time! He gave it all to me, so this money was his previous savings.
At this time, as long as you have something in your hand, you can make money in the black market. The brave ones can make a fortune. With some vision and knowledge, you can stock up on antiques, gold and real estate. As long as you don't squander your money, it will be difficult to become poor in the future?
A deposit of ten thousand yuan!
The entire population of Peijiagou doesn’t have 10,000 yuan in savings combined, right?
"You know the situation of my grandfather and father! The situation is unclear now, and it is almost impossible to redress them in the next few years. I must take care of them! I think you need to think clearly about our affairs."
Pei Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly: "You knew that something would happen at home, and is that why you kept our relationship a secret?"
Pei Xinghe was so angry that he almost laughed! How much did he not trust him?
He confessed his love with great joy, but when he saw the girl agreed, he was poured a bucket of cold water before he could even have time to be happy. God knows how he got through those days. He always thought that it was because of his bad reputation that the girl was afraid of being affected and didn't want others to know that they were dating.
I didn’t expect it was because of something that happened in her family. Is she afraid that I will dislike her?
Thinking that the girl had to bear the family's misfortunes alone for such a long time and had to take care of her two younger brothers, Pei Xinghe felt extremely distressed. She should tell herself.
"Isn't that reason enough? Haven't you seen the chaos out there? Children reporting their parents is commonplace, not to mention other things."
Gu Qingmeng saw the man's reaction. After spending some time together, she also had a certain understanding of Pei Xinghe's character!
She knew he was a responsible man and believed he wouldn't report his father-in-law. She was lucky to have met him.
Whether it was the vague him in the dream or the him standing in front of her at this moment, Gu Qingmeng's heart was moved.
"I don't care what happens to others. I only know that I will help you take care of your family! With me here, I will make sure Grandpa and Uncle live a peaceful life in Peijiagou! Grandpa wants us to get engaged first."
After talking about the engagement, Pei Xinghe's ears turned red. He couldn't sleep after meeting his grandfather and future father-in-law last night. He felt like a big pie fell from the sky and hit him in the face.
Otherwise, how could what he had been dreaming of suddenly come true?
Now that the engagement is complete, can marriage be far behind?
If he works hard, maybe he can get married in the twelfth lunar month? Then he will be a man with a wife and children and a warm bed.
"You've met my grandfather. Will my father agree to the engagement?"
Gu Qingmeng didn't believe that her biological father would agree to the marriage!
"Well, don't get me wrong. I went there with my great-grandfather, and then he brought up our relationship. Finally, grandpa and dad thought I was a good person and suggested we get engaged first."
Pei Xinghe spoke briefly and to the point, without mentioning any details, such as how he begged Pei Heixiong with tears and snot to accompany him to the cowshed?
How did Gu Jun test him? What did he agree to? Pei Xinghe didn't mention a word about these.
