Huo Xicheng said with a fox-like smile, "Tell me, when did this happen? How come I didn't know you had a crush on Uncle Liang's daughter? Several times you drove out with treats you brought from home, were you going to Liang Jingyun's school to deliver treats to her?"
After being teased by Huo Xicheng, He Zhendong gave up and simply admitted, "Yes, I went to deliver it to Jingyun. She's studying very hard at school, what's wrong with me bringing her some food?"
Huo Xicheng chuckled and said, "I didn't realize you were so resourceful. But you do seem a bit like an old cow trying to eat young grass."
He Zhendong curled his lip and said, "What's so special about me? Isn't the age difference between Han Yixian and Yuhan even greater? Don't you know that older men dote on their wives?"
He Zhendong now feels that with his brother-in-law as a role model, Uncle Liang will definitely not mind that he is so much older than Liang Jingyun.
Huo Xicheng leaned back in his chair and looked at He Zhendong with a mocking tone, "When did you start having those feelings for Liang Jingyun? Tell me the truth."
He Zhendong said, "I don't know either. I used to go to Uncle Liang's house often. I often saw Jingyun and watched her grow from a little girl into a young woman. We got along very well and I felt comfortable with her. Later, I gradually started to like her."
However, she is still too young and in school, so I can't influence her. Therefore, I have never revealed my feelings to her.
Yuhan is right. Jingyun should be graduating this year too. She's not going to university, so Uncle Liang should definitely start thinking about finding her a husband. I really can't wait any longer.”
Huo Xicheng shook his head and said, "You kid, if Yuhan hadn't reminded you, were you still planning to wait? I think you might have waited until your wife disappeared."
If you see something you like, you have to get it quickly. Otherwise, you'll regret it.
If I had paid more attention when I first met Yuhan, perhaps Han Yixian wouldn't have had a chance. So, when it's time to act, you have to act.
The two have been good brothers for many years, and they have basically no secrets from each other, so they don't hold back when they talk.
He Zhendong said, "Xicheng, Yuhan is already married and has children, so you should let go of that too. We're not young anymore, and it's time to find someone and settle down. You should broaden your horizons and look at the girls around you; maybe you'll find someone you like."
Huo Xicheng shook his head and laughed, "You don't even know if the girl you like has been snatched away by someone else yet, and you're already trying to advise me. I think you should worry about yourself first."
After his sister and Huo Xicheng said that, He Zhendong couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said, "No, I have to go to Jingyun's school and bring her some food. I'll leave this to you."
Huo Xicheng laughed and said, "Alright, you can go now. Leave this to me. Remember to express your feelings as soon as possible, or you'll regret it later."
He Zhendong drove straight to Liang Jingyun's school.
After class at noon, Liang Jingyun was told that someone was looking for her and was waiting at the school gate. Liang Jingyun immediately guessed who it was and quickly ran out of the school gate. Sure enough, it was Brother Zhendong waiting at the school gate.
She called out, "Brother Zhendong, what brings you here?"
He Zhendong smiled as he looked at Liang Jingyun, whose little face was flushed from running around. "I brought you some food. It was made by your sister Yuhan."
Liang Jingyun said, "Don't always bring me food. You train very hard every day and need more nutrition than I do."
He Zhendong felt a warm glow inside hearing Liang Jingyun's concern for him, and said with a smile, "I'm a grown man, I'm not that delicate. Are you out of school?"
Liang Jingyun nodded and said, "Yes, everyone has gone to the cafeteria to buy food now."
He Zhendong said, "Come on, let's go eat. Today we're going to have braised pork."
Liang Jingyun quickly pulled He Zhendong aside and said, "Brother Zhendong, meat is so expensive now, I won't go. We have food in our cafeteria."
He Zhendong said, "Your brother Zhendong has money and tickets, so eating a braised pork is nothing to me. Don't be polite with me."
As he spoke, he pulled Liang Jingyun and shoved her into the car.
The two quickly arrived at the state-run restaurant in the county town.
The two found a table, and He Zhendong looked at today's menu on the blackboard and ordered braised pork, pickled cabbage and vermicelli, a few large steamed buns, and two bowls of egg drop soup.
Their meal was ready quickly. He Zhendong brought the food to the table and said, "Jingyun, eat quickly. The braised pork here looks pretty good, you should try it."
Liang Jingyun nodded and said, "Brother Zhendong, don't worry about me, you should eat too."
The two were familiar with each other and didn't stand on ceremony, eating a meal they rarely had.
He Zhendong kept putting meat into Liang Jingyun's empty bowl, urging her to eat more.
He Zhendong thought the girl was too thin and needed to eat more. He would have to get her some nourishing food later.
Seeing that He Zhendong had put a lot of meat in her bowl, Liang Jingyun said, "Brother Zhendong, don't just focus on me, you should eat too."
As she spoke, she even added a lot of meat to He Zhendong's bowl.
He Zhendong was even happier now. He could tell that Jingyun cared about him a lot, and maybe she was interested in him too.
After finishing their meal, He Zhendong didn't rush to leave with Liang Jingyun. Instead, he sat on a stool to rest and chat.
He Zhendong said, "Jingyun, you're graduating this year, right?"
Liang Jingyun nodded and said, "Yes, not long."
He Zhendong asked, "So what are your plans? Are you preparing to take the college entrance exam or looking for a job?"
Liang Jingyun said, "I'm going to look for a job instead of going to university. I don't have the ability to do that."
He Zhendong nodded and said, "The job is not bad. A high school diploma is not low, so it won't be difficult to find a job. I'll talk to my family later and find you a job in the city."
Liang Jingyun was naturally delighted to hear that a job could be found for her in the city. However, since her third brother had found a job with the help of the He family, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to trouble them again.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Zhendong, my third brother got a job with the help of your family. It's too much trouble for you to help me find one too."
He Zhendong said, "What trouble is there? Besides, what kind of relationship do our two families have? There's no trouble at all. Don't worry about it. I'll get you a job when I get back."
Liang Jingyun said, "Then I have to go home and talk to my dad about it. I need to hear his opinion."
He Zhendong nodded and said, "Okay, go home and tell Uncle Liang that I've found you a job."
"By the way, you're about to start working. People in rural areas generally get married young, so your family must be starting to arrange a marriage for you, right? Have they tried to find you a matchmaker?"
When He Zhendong asked her that, Liang Jingyun blushed and stammered, "Some people have come to my house to propose marriage. But my parents said not to rush it and to wait until I have a job. I don't know where I'll work yet, so we'll put everything else aside for now."
