Du Lianqiao didn't let his two sons work in the fields; they just stayed home to rest and spend time with Yue Tingshan.
Du Haifeng took out the prize money he and his brother had won. "Dad, Mom, we won a prize of twenty yuan this time. You can keep it for yourselves."
Du Lianqiao was very proud to know that his two sons had achieved first and third place in the entire school. He also knew that his sons had received awards, but he hadn't expected so much.
Looking at the few bills his son was holding up, he felt a deep sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection). He thought to himself, "You really do need to be educated. It's so much easier for educated people to earn money than for those of us who toil in the fields."
He said, "This is the prize money you and Haichao won. Your parents don't want it, you can keep it for yourselves. Or you can give it to your sister."
Du Haifeng said, "My sister absolutely refuses. Haichao and I can't afford that much money either. How about this, we'll each keep one yuan, and you can have the rest. It'll be convenient if there's anything we need at home."
Wang Yuqiao said, "Dad, the children can just ask us for money if they need it. What if they lose so much money? Let's keep it for them and save it for their schooling later."
Upon hearing this, Du Lianqiao nodded and said, "Then you should put them away for them first."
He then said to his two sons, "You don't need to work in the fields these next few days. The family isn't counting on your few centimeters. Just stay home and have fun with Tingshan for a few days. When we go back to the city in a few days, you'll have to study hard."
Du Haifeng said, "Then let's tidy up my sister's house properly, and the rest of us will stay there."
Wang Yuqiao said, "I tidy up the house occasionally, so you'll have to clean it up properly if you're going to stay here. Come on, I'll take you there."
Not to mention that Yue Tingshan and Du Haifeng were having a great time playing on the mountain and river in Laohewan, Han Yixian and the others took Liang Jingyun directly to the He family compound after returning to the city.
Yu Huiru was overjoyed to see her prospective daughter-in-law arrive, and she was also extremely fond of her grandson, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten days, and hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.
When Gu Huayang and He Haobo saw the little boy, they also sat next to their grandmother and played with him.
Yu Huiru said happily, "Jingyun, I've already prepared a room for you. Your workplace isn't far from the compound either. Zhendong bought you a new bicycle when he went home a couple of days ago, so you can just ride it to work from now on."
When Liang Jingyun heard that Brother Zhendong had even bought her a bicycle, she was happy but also a little embarrassed. "Aunt Hui, this bicycle must have cost a lot of money. You're going to spend too much."
Yu Huiru laughed and said, "What's the expense? Yours is also from our family. Besides, Zhendong hasn't bought you many things. This bicycle is a useful item, so it was only right that we bought it."
From now on, treat this place as your own home and don't feel awkward.
Liang Jingyun nodded and said, "I know, Aunt Hui."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Mom, I've delivered the message Dad asked me to give to Uncle Liang. Uncle Liang said he agrees to my second brother and Jingyun having their wedding as soon as possible. Qihua and Yuting will have their wedding in the fall, so I think my second brother and Jingyun can have theirs together. Or the two families can have theirs two days apart, so that Uncle Liang and my parents don't have to go through the hassle twice."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huiru happily said, "That's great! When your dad comes back, I'll tell him that we'll go to your Uncle Liang and the others this weekend to discuss your second brother and Jingyun's marriage. Oh my, now that your second brother is married, one less thing to worry about in our family will be gone."
Liang Jingyun blushed deeply, lowering her head as if she wanted to disappear into the ground. But she was also overjoyed; she was about to marry the man she had always dreamed of—how could she not be happy?
Before leaving for Laohewan, He Yuhan told her second brother that her future sister-in-law would be going back to the city with them. Therefore, He Zhendong had already asked Huo Xicheng for leave in advance and was going home that night to see his future wife.
When it comes to his brother's happiness, Huo Xicheng naturally had to make things convenient for He Zhendong. So He Zhendong drove home early.
He was thrilled to see Liang Jingyun sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door; he hadn't seen his future wife for many days.
Liang Jingyun spotted He Zhendong entering the room at a glance and quickly stood up, saying, "Brother Zhendong, you're back."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Now that you're here, how could he not come back?"
Liang Jingyun lowered her head shyly.
He Zhendong said, "I happened to be off today, so I came home. I didn't expect Jingyun to come. What a coincidence."
After saying that, he winked at He Yuhan, as if to say, "Didn't you see your second sister-in-law is shy? Watch your words."
He Yuhan naturally understood her second brother's expression, and of course she had to give him face.
He Zhendong asked, "Mom, is Jingyun's room ready?"
Yu Huiru said, "It's all packed up already. Take her to see if she's missing anything, and you can help Jingyun pack as well."
Yu Huiru also wanted to create opportunities for her son so that the two of them could spend time alone and have a good talk.
Upon hearing this, He Zhendong said, "Then you two chat first, I'll take Jingyun to see the room."
Yu Huiru waved her hand and said, "Go quickly."
Then He Zhendong picked up Liang Jingyun's luggage, took her hand, and went upstairs.
Yu Huiru watched her second son quickly lead Liang Jingyun upstairs and laughed, "Having a boyfriend really changes things; he knows how to come home now. Before, he wouldn't come home even when we asked him to, always saying he was too busy with work. But now I see he's not so busy with work anymore."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "When I went to Laohewan, I called my second brother and told him the news. He knew Jingyun was coming, so how could he not come back?"
"Just for that reason alone, we need to hurry up and get my second brother's wedding arranged, so he'll have something to think about from now on."
