As they were talking, the sound of a bicycle bell suddenly rang outside the door. Zhu Youliang looked up and saw a young woman in blue cloth pants getting off a bicycle. There was a pound of meat hanging on the handlebars, mostly fat and not lean. He first looked at the pound of meat, then at the woman, and his face became more awkward. The woman's name was Wang Juan, she was the original owner's deskmate in high school, and the two had been secretly dating for a few days. Later, for some reason, Wang Juan suddenly grew up and began to dislike the original owner for being too lazy. She felt that she would not have a good life with the original owner, so she turned around and started dating a boy who lived in the town. Since then, the two have never spoken to each other again, but who knew they would meet here.
"Master, we have guests," Wang Juan said, smiling at Chen Dafa. Seeing Zhu Youliang, she simply nodded slightly. She had been married for several years, so what else could she not let go of?
"The village tractor broke down, so Stationmaster Chen brought Youliang here to fix it. Oh, and Youliang is also a senior high school student at No. 2 Middle School. Maybe you were classmates." Wang Xicai took the fat meat from his granddaughter and said with a smile, "Come on, why bring meat? We're in your family, so I'm very polite."
"Of course I know you. We even sat at the same table before." Wang Juan said with a hearty laugh.
"Youliang is now successful, but you're unlucky. You missed this good opportunity and let that jerk get away with it." Wang Xi felt a little unhappy when he thought of his grandson-in-law. He was an old farmer and liked people who were down-to-earth and could get things done. His grandson-in-law came from a well-off family, but he wasn't a hands-on guy. He hadn't worked since graduating from high school, and spent his days wandering around with his friends. He had made many mistakes in his early years, but thanks to his father's good behavior, he hadn't lost his position, otherwise he would have been liquidated long ago.
Wang Juan only showed a hint of embarrassment at this time, but she still smiled and said, "Grandpa, look at what you are saying. My child is already several years old. Besides, Sun Cai is very good to me." After that, she asked Zhu Youliang, "Does Youliang work at the agricultural machinery station now?"
Zhu Youliang had recovered by now; his earlier actions were all due to the influence of the original owner. Hearing her question, he smiled and replied, "I haven't officially started working yet."
Wang Juan said meaningfully, "As expected, you become successful after you get married. You didn't have this kind of enthusiasm in your early years."
Zhu Youliang smiled and said, "Of course not. I was just fooling around before."
Wang Juan was about to speak when Mrs. Chen's voice came from outside.
"Juan is here! It's just right. Your grandpa is going to treat us to dinner tonight. You should eat before you leave." As soon as she finished speaking, she had already entered the yard. After she finished speaking, she called the chickens "cluck, cluck, cluck" and started catching chickens with her grandson.
"Grandma, let me help you." Wang Juan nodded to Chen Dafa and Zhu Youliang, then turned around to help catch the chickens.
Chen Dafa and Wang Xicai were old acquaintances. Seeing Wang Juan go to the yard, Chen Dafa whispered to Wang Xicai, "Is your eldest grandson-in-law called Sun Cai? I just heard that he beat up your granddaughter. It was said that the commotion lasted most of the night."
"Really?" Wang Xicai stood up immediately in anger.
Chen Dafa quickly suppressed the man. "You know I'm not one to meddle in other people's business. If it weren't for our relationship, I wouldn't have meddled in this matter. But wait and see what your granddaughter says. If she doesn't say anything, ask someone to find out. Don't accuse the wrong person. As the old saying goes, it's better to build a temple than to ruin a marriage. Otherwise, it would be my fault."
Wang Xi nodded, then carefully recalled his granddaughter's expression. It didn't look like she had been beaten, so he finally calmed down. Suddenly, he remembered that there was a stranger sitting in the room, so he looked up at Zhu Youliang.
Zhu Youliang quickly stated, "Uncle, I didn't hear anything."
Wang Xicai praised: "If I had known that you and Juan were classmates, I would have chosen you to be my grandson-in-law."
Zhu Youliang smiled awkwardly and asked, "Can you please stop bringing this up?"
He was still worried, so he said a few more words and went out to call the old woman back to her room to talk.
Seeing this, Chen Dafa felt a little regretful. He thought to himself, how could he have forgotten that Lao Wang had a quick temper? If he had known, he would have said it after he left. Wait, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat well.
He had guessed it right. Mrs. Chen was even more anxious than Wang Xicai. As soon as Wang Xicai said that, she immediately went to find Wang Juan. At first, Wang Juan refused to admit it. Mrs. Chen was very smart and immediately lifted her sleeve. The weather was already a bit hot, and her granddaughter was still wrapped up tightly. She hadn't thought much about it before, but now she was suspicious. When she saw the bruises on her granddaughter's body, she was immediately furious and wanted to find her son to go to the Sun family to reason. But Wang Juan stopped her and persuaded her to wait until the guests left before talking.
In the main hall, Chen Dafa heard Wang Juan crying and knew the truth was true. He couldn't sit down any longer, so he said he had something to think about and needed to go back. Zhu Youliang also said he would take his bike back. Wang Xicai no longer wanted to treat them, so he thanked them again and promised to treat them to a good meal another day.
Coming out of the house and out of the village, Chen Dafa said to Zhu Youliang as he rode his bike, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. It was my fault for being too talkative. I hope I don't ruin things."
Zhu Youliang said hurriedly, "You have good intentions. It's all because of that Sun Cai who is not a good person."
Chen Dafa thought of Sun Juan, who had just smiled in the yard, and suddenly thought of his own daughter. He couldn't help but sigh, "When Xiaona gets married, I'll tell her that if that bastard dares to touch her, come back and tell me immediately, and I'll beat him to death." As he rode, he suddenly stopped and said, "Is there any food? Do you have a younger brother studying in the county?"
Zhu Youliang was confused for a moment and said, "Yes, there is one. He is a sophomore in high school this year."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dafa said happily, "That's perfect. He's only a year younger than Xiaona. The two of them can date first, and it won't be too late to get married after graduation." After saying that, he stared at Zhu Youliang from head to toe and continued, "Xiaona likes good-looking men. I've met your eldest brother, and I think your family has good-looking children, so your brother should be no bad either. Why don't you go back and ask your parents? If it's okay, I'll let the two children meet. I only have one condition, and that is a house in town. Xiaona has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She cries when she has nothing to eat and can't work in the fields. If your brother doesn't get into college, I can even find him a job. By the way, what's your brother's name?"
Zhu Youliang thought for a moment before saying, "Zhu Youjie." Although he felt that it was a bit unreliable, he changed his mind and thought that maybe this was the characteristic of this era. After all, he was just a messenger, and the final decision would depend on whether Yougen agreed.
"That's a good name. Don't forget to tell your parents when you go back. By the way, the day after tomorrow, Monday, you will report to the agricultural machinery station. You will be a temporary worker for now, and you will be promoted to a regular employee when the opportunity arises." After saying that, he started riding his bicycle.
Zhu Youliang nodded. Zhu Youjie's original name was Zhu Yougen, but the kid thought the name was too rustic, so he changed it to Zhu Youjie after high school.
Thinking about the original owner's brother's temperament, he had to say: "Uncle, to be honest, Youjie is a bit arrogant and wants to go to college. My parents are afraid that they can't control him. If..."
Chen Dafa was very confident in his daughter, but he still said, "Young people are bound to be arrogant. This marriage is about friendship, not enmity. Whether it will succeed depends on whether these young people are compatible. Don't worry."
After hearing what he said, Zhu Youliang thought Chen Dafa was a good person. However, even so, the final result would depend on what happened in the future.
