The man's eyes lit up. "Really? You're amazing, girl."
Lu Chen frowned, blocking the intense gaze. "What do you want?"
The man smiled slightly: "I just thought the design of this ring was quite novel, and I wanted to ask about it because I also want to give it to someone I like." His face even blushed slightly.
He shifted his body slightly, exposing himself to Ye Zhiyu's gaze.
"Girl, you're amazing. This guy is so lucky. He's just not attentive enough. If I had such a great partner, I definitely wouldn't let her do these things. These are things that men should do."
Hearing these familiar yet unfamiliar words, Ye Zhiyu could hardly believe it. Wasn't this the male version of a "green tea" girl from later generations?
Sister, will brother be angry if we do this?
If I had a girlfriend as good as you, I wouldn't bear to argue with you.
This guy really has that vibe.
The main issue is that they don't know each other at all. Is it his daily routine to suddenly demonstrate tea ceremony to a stranger? Or is he suddenly having a relapse?
But that didn't stop Ye Zhiyu from retorting: "What? You're jealous of him because no girl does this for you? I'm amazing and good, my boyfriend and I both know that, we don't need you to remind us. I'm willing to do these things for him, is it any of your business? You're always so cunning and manipulative, trying to sow discord? You're still too green, you green tea b*tch."
Lu Chen was overjoyed, his smile practically reaching the sun.
The two quickly put the matter out of their minds, but the man was like a persistent ghost, appearing every day no matter where they were, and setting up tea ceremonies.
A few days later, Ye Zhiyu stopped insisting on going out; she was annoyed.
Before she knew it, it was time to return to the Hongqi Brigade, and her family was very reluctant to let her go.
They had all witnessed Lu Chen's actions during this time and accepted the partner that Ye Zhiyu had chosen for them.
Ye Jinlin asked Ye Zhiyu one last time, with great seriousness.
"Are you really going to marry him?"
"Dad, she gave me all her belongings on the day I said we were getting married. How many men like that can I meet?"
After receiving Ye Zhiyu's affirmative reply, this man, who had always been tall and upright, suddenly seemed to shrink a bit.
He muttered to himself, "It's good, it's good."
He then called Lu Chen to the study, where the two talked for two hours. Old Master Ye was also in the room.
Grandma watched her walk around, glancing around every now and then, with amusement.
"What's the rush? Do you think your dad and grandpa would eat her?"
Ye Zhiyu, teased by her, squirmed slightly and snuggled into her arms: "Grandma~"
Grandma gently stroked her hair: "...Rock-a-bye, you're Grandma's good baby..."
"Time flies. How did Zhiyu get married so soon? Just yesterday she was a little kid who only reached my knees."
Ye Zhiyu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, "Even if I get married, I'll still be your little brat."
Grandma patted her shoulder gently, "Yes, it's Grandma's little rascal."
Only the mist in her eyes betrayed her distress.
Once you're married, you belong to another family and have to live according to their wishes.
Grandma also went through that time. She followed Grandpa Ye and spent the first half of her life taking care of her children and her mother-in-law, hoping for his return every day.
My mother-in-law isn't harsh, but she has traditional values and insists on visiting my mother morning and evening without fail.
She knows best the pain of being a daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, Zhiyu was born in a great era where women can hold up half the sky, and she hoped that her mother-in-law would be a good one and her sister-in-law would be a good one.
Grandma smelled strangely nice, and she was being patted like a baby, so comfortable that she almost fell asleep before the three of them came out.
Ye Zhiyu darted over, lifted Lu Chen's arm, and then looked at his leg.
Ye Jinlin's face darkened at her action: "Are we supposed to hit him?"
Ye Zhiyu joked, "That's hard to say, after all, you've never liked him."
"Go away, go see your mother, and get out of my way."
The two of them ran away in a flash.
——
Ye Zhiyu's mother is buried in the cemetery. Lu Chen was still on the observation period before, so he didn't bring him here.
Having received permission and being about to return home, I naturally had to come and pay my respects.
They placed the snacks they brought in front of the monument.
"Mom, I brought my boyfriend to meet you. These are your favorite snacks. I'm getting married to him soon. Don't worry, he's very good to me. If I tell him to go east, he won't dare to go west. I hope you're happy down there. How long has it been since you saw Dad? Today, I noticed that the old man seems to have shrunk a bit. If you have time, go and see him in his dreams."
After she finished speaking, Lu Chen immediately knelt down.
"Mom, it's me, Lu Chen. Although I'm calling you 'Mom' a little early, I will treat Zhiyu well. Please don't worry."
TRAIN STATION.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma on your mother's side, please go back inside, it's so cold."
Several elderly people refused to listen to advice.
"Every time we see you, it's one less time we'll see you. The next time we see you will be several months later. We won't go back; we'll just watch you get on the train."
Unable to persuade them otherwise, we could only let them wait here together.
The train arrived, and Grandma reluctantly handed Ye Zhiyu over to Lu Chen.
"Xiao Lu, take good care of her."
Lu Chen answered solemnly, "I will."
When they returned, Lu Chen was carrying many bags, while Ye Zhiyu was completely unburdened.
When they returned, both of them were carrying large bags and small bags, with everything they could need, including food, daily necessities, and clothes. They were unhappy if they weren't allowed to buy more.
Ye Zhiyu's meaning is that she won't bring so much stuff and will probably be back in July or August.
No, they insisted on bringing it, saying that it's too cold to wash clothes in this weather, as it's freezing and hard to dry, and that they should just throw it away when it gets dirty.
That's just how domineering it is, there's nothing you can do but take it.
They returned with bags and packages, some of which were return gifts for the Lu family. Aunt Ye had specifically asked Ye Zhiyu who was in the Lu family and what gifts were prepared.
I didn't encounter any strange people on the train this time, but it was still noisy and smelled bad.
There was no specific time for my return, so no one came to pick me up, and I had to go back by myself.
Fortunately, we found Uncle Liu's oxcart in a familiar place.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Zhiqing and Lu Chen? You're back. How was your New Year? Did it go well?"
The news that Lu Chen was going home with Ye Zhiyu for the New Year had already spread throughout the village, and everyone was talking about it like crazy.
Some say Lu Chen is like a toad trying to eat swan meat; he can fool Ye Zhiyu, but he can't fool her parents, so they're just waiting for Lu Chen to come back in a sorry state.
This argument was met with a rebuttal: "Lu Chen is a toad, what are you? You're not even as good as the mud in the river."
Some said it was definitely going to work out, because the brigade leader's children were all outstanding, and it was hard to find such a talent in the surrounding villages.
Some say that even if the two get together, it probably won't last long. Ye Zhiqing is clearly a phoenix in the sky; she'll get tired of flying and come down to rest. Who knows when she'll leave?
There are all sorts of opinions, and everyone has to share their perspective.
