Chapter 749 (Page 1/2)
Although Xiao Ya had never seen Su He in person, it was difficult for her to judge accurately whether this girl was really as beautiful and kind-hearted as he said based on her youngest son's description of her.
However, when Xiao Ya learned that her youngest son already had a partner, her heart was filled with joy. From then on, she no longer had to worry about her youngest son's lifelong affairs.
"Qinghuan, when are you going to bring your partner home to let mom see him?" Xiao Ya asked expectantly.
"Mom, I plan to bring Su He to meet you and Dad next Saturday, and then go to Su's house to visit Su He's parents on Sunday." Huo Qinghuan replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Ya nodded repeatedly in agreement: "That's great! When the time comes, you must bring Su He back safely. If this girl is really good, you two can consider getting engaged first and then officially register your marriage after graduation."
Huo Qinghuan also had the same plan. If the parents of both sides agreed to their dating, he would get engaged to Su He first, and then talk slowly. They would register after graduation, which would not affect their studies.
He nodded slightly and responded softly, "Mom, you're right. Actually, I think the same as you. I'm currently getting along seriously with Su He, and we both need more time to get to know each other better.
If we still feel the same after graduation, we can register for marriage. If we find we are not suitable for each other after dating, we can only break up.
Xiao Ya was surprised and said, "Huan'er, if you break up after getting engaged, wouldn't the betrothal money be wasted?"
"Mom, we don't need to pay the betrothal gift before we get married. Just give the engagement gift. We'll pay the betrothal gift when we get married."
If we give the betrothal money and we date for one or two years, but end up breaking up because of a quarrel over something, we will definitely not be able to get the betrothal money back.
Therefore, you cannot give the betrothal gift before getting engaged, and you should wait until you register for marriage to give the betrothal gift money."
Xiao Ya thought her son's idea was a good one. Since they couldn't get married right away, they could hold off on the gift. If they did, what if Su He quarreled with her son and married someone else out of spite? Wouldn't that mean they'd lose both their money and their life?
If the girl comes to their house, she can give her a meeting gift, but forget about the betrothal gift. Anyway, her son won't be able to get married in the next three years.
"Okay, in that case, just proceed at your own pace! But son, you haven't been home for a long time. Remember to visit your grandfather when you have time."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan quickly responded, "Mom, I know. I'm going to Grandpa's house for dinner tonight and will be back after dinner."
Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Well, that's great. But kid, don't forget to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some fresh fruit for your grandfather later."
Huo Qinghuan nodded readily: "Don't worry, Mom, I'll remember it." After that, she turned around and began to pack up, preparing to go out to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruit, and then go to her grandfather's house for dinner.
Huo Qinghuan, cheerfully carrying a large bag full of fruit, walked briskly towards his grandfather's house. The afternoon sun shone on him, casting a slender and warm shadow.
When Huo Qinghuan stepped into the house, Huo Li, who was sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up to greet her.
"Qinghuan is here!" Huo Li said happily.

Huo Qinghuan also had a smile on his face. He walked quickly to his grandfather and then carefully placed the heavy bag of fruit on the coffee table.
"Grandpa, I'm here to visit you!"
Huo Li pulled Huo Qinghuan to sit on the sofa and asked affectionately, "Your sister-in-law just told me about you. I didn't expect you to come over now. By the way, I heard from your sister-in-law that you are dating someone?"
Hearing his grandfather's words, Huo Qinghuan couldn't help but lower his head slightly, his cheeks instantly flushed with shyness. He glanced at his grandfather a little embarrassedly and replied softly: "Grandpa, it's true that I just started dating someone not long ago... I plan to bring her back for you to meet next week."
Huo Li was immediately interested when he heard this, and asked excitedly, "Oh? How's that girl? Tell grandpa about her."
Huo Qinghuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Grandpa, my girlfriend is pretty good. Her name is Su He, she's 21 years old, gentle and kind. She was an educated youth in the countryside before, and only returned to the city after passing the college entrance examination..."
"Oh? Your girlfriend was also an educated youth in the countryside before. So where did she go to be an educated youth?" Huo Li continued to ask curiously.
"Greater Northeast China." Huo Qinghuan answered decisively.
Huo Li frowned tightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like deep ravines, revealing his deep worries and concerns.
He murmured softly to himself, "Why did that child go to such a remote place to work in the countryside?"
Huo Qinghuan patiently explained to his grandfather, "Grandpa, you don't know that those who can go to the countryside outside Beijing are all from families with connections and backgrounds.
Children like her, who come from ordinary families, naturally can't enjoy such treatment, so they can only be assigned to places farther away." After saying this, he sighed softly.
Huo Li nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood the reason, but then he asked, "Aren't both her parents working? So, her conditions should be pretty good, right?"
Huo Qinghuan quickly responded, "That's right, Grandpa, her parents do work at the flour mill. But from what she said, the wages there don't seem to be very high."
Hearing this, Huo Li couldn't help but shake his head and said to Huo Qinghuan earnestly, "Qinghuan, you have to know that the person you're looking for has many brothers and sisters. Even if her family is well-off, they can actually be of very limited help to you in the future. In the future, many things will still depend on your own efforts!"
Huo Qinghuan nodded obediently: "Grandpa, I understand all these principles. Don't worry, after I graduate from university, the school will arrange a job for me. Maybe I can successfully enter a good unit.
When the time comes, we will work hard together and our lives will definitely get better and better!"
"That's the truth. The woman's elders can't help you with anything. You can only rely on your own efforts.
When you join the company, you should work hard. As long as you work hard, as long as your grandfather is still around, you will have many opportunities to be promoted."
Huo Qinghuan smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you, Grandpa, for protecting your grandson. I will definitely study hard, and when I join the company in the future, I will work hard and not let Grandpa down."
