...
After being forced to stay for dinner by Feng Xueyi, Song Qingbin took Song Guoqing back to his single dormitory room at the grain station.
"Brother, did you agree to your station manager dating his daughter out of genuine feelings... or did you nod because your station manager is a leader and you felt you couldn't refuse?"
After washing up, the two brothers lay down on the bed. Song Guoqing turned over, crawled to the edge of the bed, blinked, and asked Song Qingbin, the older brother.
Needless to say, Song Qingbin did indeed set up a simple single bed for Song Guoqing in his single dormitory room. However, the bed was set up quite sturdily, so that Song Guoqing wouldn't end up sleeping on the floor in the middle of the night.
What are you saying?
Song Qingbin rolled over to face Song Guoqing and lay on his side. He said irritably, "Open your eyes and look carefully. Do you think your older brother is the kind of person who doesn't take his marriage seriously?"
"Do you like Feng Jianping's second sister?"
Song Guoqing's eyes were full of curiosity, and he asked again.
"We only met once tonight, do you think I'd believe you if I said I liked you?" Song Qingbin felt that his younger brother Song Guoqing was worrying too much. He was so young, yet he was already meddling in his elder brother's affairs. Thinking this, he felt both amused and helpless, and said, "But my impression of Comrade Feng Yuanyuan is much better than when I first met Comrade Han Bailan. I can tell that she is someone who can live a down-to-earth life."
"It seems you've fallen for her, brother!"
Song Guoqing smiled meaningfully and said, "Could it be that you were attracted by Sister Yuanyuan's looks?" Before Song Qingbin could speak, Song Guoqing continued, "And you still want to say 'I'll believe you if I say I like you'? Brother, you're being a bit too fake!"
"What do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin's face immediately flushed, and he became particularly uncomfortable, saying, "You're just a kid, studying hard is what's important, don't always meddle in things that aren't your business."
"For example, what is it that I shouldn't be involved in?"
Song Guoqing chuckled and said, "I know, you're shy because I hit the nail on the head."
"sleep!"
Song Qingbin lay back down, making it seem like he didn't want to talk to Song Guoqing anymore.
Seeing this, Song Guoqing's laughter, which had been suppressed, rang out again: "Are you that embarrassed?! Brother, you're a grown man, and it's not like you've never had a girlfriend before. Right now, you're just having a crush on Sister Yuanyuan. In my opinion, that's perfectly normal, and it's nothing shameful. There's really no need for you to feel awkward in front of me."
Besides, I'm your own brother, I would never laugh at you!
Besides, your feelings for Sister Yuanyuan aren't just unrequited love. From what I observed tonight, Sister Yuanyuan feels the same way about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't blush whenever she sees you, and the fact that Uncle Feng and Auntie make all the decisions shows that Sister Yuanyuan wants to spend her life with you!
"When did you become such a chatterbox?"
Sitting up, Song Guoqing draped his coat over his shoulders. After staring at Song Guoqing for a while with an inscrutable look in his eyes, he said, "I advise you to talk less, otherwise, you might be seen as a gossipy old woman one day."
"Brother, this is purely retaliation!"
Song Guoqing wouldn't have it. He sat up, put on his coat, snorted, and said, "I'm your own brother, born of the same mother. All I did was point out that you like Sister Yuanyuan. You don't have to equate me with a gossipy woman!"
With a wronged look in his eyes, Song Guoqing put his coat back on the quilt, lay back in bed, and said to Song Qingbin with his back to him, "When I see my sister later, I'll tell her that you were being hypocritical, that you got angry and attacked me personally after I pointed out your true feelings!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin laughed in exasperation: "Fine, you're amazing. It's my fault. But you better not talk nonsense in front of your sister and lower her good impression of me as her older brother."
Song Guoqing chuckled to himself, but did not reply.
Looking at Song Guoqing's trembling shoulders, Song Qingbin knew perfectly well that his mischievous younger brother was just playing a prank on him. Well, he was actually just playing a prank on him too, but he couldn't deny that there was a little bit of embarrassment in it, though he wasn't angry at all.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Song Lan pushed her bicycle out of the courtyard. She first went to the town's grain station, intending to ask her older brother Song Qingbin and younger brother Song Guoqing if they wanted to go back to the village together. However, the gatekeeper told her that a quarter of an hour earlier, Song Qingbin had ridden his bicycle with Song Guoqing out of the grain station, saying that they had something to do and needed to go back to the village.
Song Lan knew she probably couldn't catch up, since Song Qingbin hadn't just left, but had been gone for about fifteen minutes. Even if she went faster, Song Qingbin and Song Guoqing would probably already be home.
The reason is simple—the town is not far from Shisong Village, and if you ride fast, you can definitely get there in twenty minutes.
With that in mind, Song Lan decided not to rush and rode at a normal speed.
Shisong Village.
Just as Song Lan had expected, Song Qingbin and Song Guoqing had already arrived home by the time she rode her bicycle out of town.
"Boss, you're not kidding?"
Li Jumei's eyes were full of surprise. It took her a long time to recover from the "bomb" dropped by Song Qingbin. She never expected that not long after breaking off the engagement with the Han family, her eldest son would tell her and her husband as soon as he got back from work that they would find a matchmaker to go to the station chief's house in town next week to propose marriage.
Okay, it's not just a marriage proposal, it's an engagement between the two families.
To be honest, this was quite sudden!
Song Sanhe wasn't much better off than Li Jumei; he also looked surprised and took a long time to recover from what Song Qingbin had said.
"Marriage is not a game; don't act impulsively."
As a father, Song Sanhe didn't want to see Song Qingbin go down the wrong path.
Before Song Qingbin could respond, Song Guoqing said with a grin, "Mom, you and Dad don't need to be like this. My older brother wasn't joking at all; in fact, he really likes Sister Yuanyuan!"
