Xu Xinghe came back to visit his family on vacation. He knew that she had gone to the countryside and was worried that she was being bullied at home, so he came back to see her.
In the past two days, the brother and sister visited all the places Xiaohehe often went to, and often pestered him to buy delicious food.
Before leaving, Xu Miaomiao had agreed with Chen Chen that she would stay at home for two days and then go back by herself.
As a result, early in the morning on the third day, someone knocked on the door.
At this time, Xu Miaomiao had not yet gotten up. She had been sleeping more and more recently.
Grandma Xu was cooking in the kitchen and Grandpa was taking a walk outside.
Xu Xinghe agreed and walked towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a man in military uniform standing outside. He was about the same height as himself, with an upright posture and regular features.
He instinctively knew who this person was, so he narrowed his eyes and asked in a bad tone.
"Chen Chen?"
Chen Chen knew that Xu Miaomiao had a brother. He had also seen him in secret when he came to peek at her a few years ago.
Chen Chen nodded without changing his expression, "Brother."
Xu Xinghe raised the corner of his mouth evilly, but remained calm in the face of danger, which was quite interesting.
Before they could say more, Grandpa Xu's powerful voice came from outside.
"What are you doing blocking the door? Come in! What does this young man want?" He stood behind Chen Chen, his face invisible.
I only saw a young man in military uniform standing at the door of his house. This outfit was very common in their compound.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen turned around, saluted, and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Chief."
Only then did Grandpa Xu see his appearance clearly. He had a good memory, and although they had not met much, he still remembered Chen Chen's appearance.
All of a sudden, his easygoing aura vanished, and he walked into the house with a stern face. "Come in! What's the point of standing at the door?"
When Xu Miaomiao woke up and came downstairs, she saw the three men in the house sitting on the sofa, talking about something.
She looked carefully and realized that it was not her eyes that were blurring. It was really Chen Chen. She quickly walked over and put the tiger cub behind her, as if she was afraid that he would suffer a loss.
Xu Miaomiao grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "Aren't you on a mission? And didn't I tell you to go back by yourself when the time comes? Why are you here?"
Chen Chen straightened her messy hair and explained softly, "The mission was completed ahead of schedule. I came home and saw you were not there. I missed you, so I came to take you home."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she forgot her previous nervousness and felt sweet in her heart.
Grandpa Xu cleared his throat at this time, "Ahem, what are you in such a hurry for? Can we still eat him?"
How could Xu Miaomiao admit that she was afraid that they would bully her man, so she quickly smiled and acted coquettishly.
"How could that be! Everyone knows that you are a very kind and amiable person, Grandpa. How could you embarrass a young man like that?"
Grandpa Xu was furious, thinking that if he made things difficult for him, he would no longer be a kind and amiable old man.
When Xu Miaomiao was not coming down just now, Grandpa Xu had already conducted a thorough interrogation of Chen Chen.
He was quite satisfied with the result of his inquiry. He was not the kind of pedantic person who insisted on matching up with someone of equal social status.
When his daughter wanted to follow his son-in-law, a poor boy, he did not object. As long as the man was a good person and sincere to his child, that was more important than anything else.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao coming down at this time, he didn't want to act like a bad guy in front of his granddaughter, so he just gave instructions.
"I've remembered everything you just said to me, and you should remember this too. I'm leaving my precious granddaughter in your care. If you dare treat her badly, I won't let you go."
As Grandpa Xu spoke, his aura became more threatening.
Chen Chen also became serious, stood up, looked at him firmly, and promised, "Don't worry, Chief, I will protect Miaomiao with my life and will never let her suffer any injustice."
Seeing that his grandfather's expression had relaxed, Xu Miaomiao knew that he had passed this hurdle, and quickly poked Chen Chen's back.
He reminded quietly, "Call me grandpa."
Chen Chen was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said again, "Grandpa, don't worry."
Grandpa Xu heard this and did not refute it. Xu Xinghe shook his head. It was true that a married girl is like spilled water!
At this time, Grandma Xu invited them to come over for dinner, and at the dinner table, Grandma Xu also asked Chen Chen some questions.
But my grandmother has a gentle temperament and just treats it as an ordinary conversation.
After finishing the meal, Xu Xinghe stood up and raised his chin towards Chen Chen, "Come out with me."
Chen Chen stood up and followed him out. Xu Miaomiao was a little worried, thinking that her elder brother must have bad intentions.
She was a little worried and wanted to follow to see what was going on, but her grandmother stopped her and said, "Don't worry, your brother knows what's going on. Come with me."
Grandma Xu took her upstairs, took out a wooden box from the room, handed it to her, and motioned her to open it and take a look.
Xu Miaomiao opened the box in confusion and looked at the things inside. On the top of the box was a jade bracelet, and underneath was a passbook with three thousand yuan in it.
Grandma Xu touched her head and said softly, "This is the dowry your grandfather and I saved for you. Now that you're married, I'll give it to you."
Xu Miaomiao pushed the box in her hand away and said, "I can't accept it. You should keep such a valuable item for yourself."
Grandma Xu firmly told her to keep it, "After your mother passed away, your grandfather and I started saving your dowry."
"We thought that even though you no longer have your mother's love, you still have us, and others shouldn't look down on you."
Grandma Xu's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke, and Xu Miaomiao's eyes were red as she listened. She was so lucky to have such relatives who were so devoted to her.
She leaned against her grandmother's arms and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I will live a good life and will not let my mother in heaven worry."
As they talked, both of them felt uncomfortable, and the grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried.
By the time the two of them had packed up Ailai, Xu Xinghe and Chen Chen were already sitting downstairs.
She looked at the two people's faces. Hmm, there were no wounds. So where had they been?
Xu Miaomiao looked at them in confusion, but couldn't find the answer.
Because they had to take the army's procurement vehicle back, the two did not stay for lunch. They packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu and Xu Xinghe sent the two people to the gate, feeling quite reluctant to leave.
Xu Miaomiao looked at her elder brother worriedly, "Brother, just transfer back, otherwise I won't be able to see you even if I want to."
Xu Miaomiao was serious about wanting him to return to Beijing. After all, transportation was inconvenient now, and it was difficult to meet him.
Xu Xinghe saw that she was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to transfer back after I get back."
Xu Miaomiao was instantly happy when she heard the answer she wanted.
