As soon as the bell rang, Chen Xiaohong went to class.
Chen Baoguo would be leaving in a while. He was going out for a blind date. Zhang Cuihua, without telling Chen Baoguo, bought him a Zhongshan suit from the state-owned tailor shop in town. She also bought him two new sets of clothes, inside and out, so that he could change into them when he went there.
During this period, Zhang Cuihua made cloth shoes for Chen Baoguo every night.
She made a pair for Chen Jianguo and also a pair for Tian Yujun.
As for He Damei, she didn't know the girl's height or her shoe size yet, so she grabbed a set of clothes for He Damei.
She prepared these things in advance.
Chen Kaifang asked: "Why do you prepare so many things?"
"Is this a lot? It's not much at all.
Our Baoguo went on a blind date, and the man liked that girl, which shows that the girl is not bad.
No matter whether things go well or not, let's do our best first.
These two pieces of cloth are for the girl Damei.
Let Baoguo go over there and change into these two pairs of cloth shoes.
I also made a pair for Jianguo and Jun. They came from far away as a token of my love.
You see, when Damei asked Yujun to come back before the New Year, she brought a big piece of bacon for Baoguo. What should we bring for her?"
Chen Kaifang thought about it and realized that there was really nothing valuable at home.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he remembered digging two ginsengs in the mountains two years ago.
"I remember now, I dug up those two ginsengs two years ago."
When Chen Kaifang mentioned it, Zhang Cuihua also remembered this matter.
"Yeah, how could I have forgotten this.
Although the two ginsengs are not big, they can be exchanged for dozens of yuan. The gentleman said that Damei has a grandfather, so he asked Baoguo to take the two ginsengs with him to help the old man replenish his body.
"I think so."
Soon, the two of them hit it off and discussed it.
There really isn't anything valuable in their house.
After class in the evening, Chen Xiaohong was afraid of being crowded with others, so she waited until everyone else left before she slowly came out alone.
Chen Baoguo was worried, so he stood at the door waiting for her.
Zhang Qiang came over and saw Chen Baoguo standing at the door again. He smiled and asked, "Are you waiting for your sister again?"
"I have nothing to do, come and take a walk."
Seeing that he was being stubborn, Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's fine. I ran into her here during the break."
Chen Baoguo said: "You, the branch secretary, seem to be idle."
“This is also my job, okay?
When are you leaving?"
"There are still seven or eight days."
"Then hurry up and leave."
Chen Baoguo thought he had misheard and glanced at Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang said: "Okay, I'm leaving now, just wait for me."
Chen Baoguo always felt that Zhang Qiang's arrival was a bit strange.
When Chen Xiaohong came out, Zhang Qiang had already walked away.
Chen Xiaohong knew that her brother was waiting for her, so she followed him back.
Chen Baoguo asked: "Does your leg still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
In fact, what Chen Baoguo wanted to ask was whether she had heard any gossip, but he did not ask it in the end.
As soon as the two men came back, Chen Xiaohong lay in bed, with the lingering voices of that group of people in her ears.
She took a long breath, turned over and pretended to sleep.
She is not pitiful at all, she is very nice.
Chen Baoguo also couldn't sleep. The closer he got to the day of leaving home, the more worried he became.
I don’t know when I will be back after this trip, and I still have a lot of things to do at home.
However, I have already agreed on a time with them, so I might as well go there first.
Soon, it's the end of the month.
He Damei was also looking forward to it.
In the past two days, the walls of their house were covered with newspapers again, leaving only her own room.
He Yonggang saw He Damei making such a fuss and said, "You don't have to make such a fuss if the kid from the Chen family is coming, right?"
"Grandpa, you don't understand. I just want him to see that our family is hardworking."
“It’s not like they haven’t been to our house before.
Besides, even if he comes, he may not stay at our house, right?"
He Damei stopped what she was doing, turned around and said with a silly smile: "Grandpa, I will invite him to live in our house when the time comes. Don't you like him too?"
"Oh, you don't look like a girl at all, you just have a boyish personality.
When he comes, you should be careful in front of him and make sure not to scare him away.
It’s not a good thing for women to be more capable than men, as it will scare men away.”
He Yonggang's words made his son He Changming laugh.
He Damei pursed her lips and said, "Dad, don't laugh."
He Changming said: "Your grandfather is right, you still have to be reserved."
"Oh, I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm going to paste the wall."
He Changming said: "I have nothing to do anyway, let me help you."
The two girls started pasting the wall together early in the evening, and later He Damei's younger brother He Ping'an also came to help.
Her mother Du Xiaofeng came in and took a look at her daughter, feeling quite helpless.
Her daughter has always been bold and has her own ideas.
My daughter really likes the boy from the Chen family.
But……
But she didn't think highly of these two people.
The family of four joined in, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when they finished.
When He Damei finished washing up and was about to take a rest, Du Xiaofeng walked in.
Du Xiaofeng had a worried look on her face. He Damei knew that her mother had a gentle personality and didn't like to cause trouble.
Her personality seems to be inherited from her grandfather.
"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet? Is there something wrong?"
"Damei, Mom wants to tell you something from the bottom of her heart."
Du Xiaofeng sat beside the bed and was silent for a while before telling this.
"Damei, I'm still worried about what happened between you and Chen Baoguo. I just don't think it's reliable.
If you really marry there, if anything happens to you in the future, your father and I won't be able to help you even if we want to.
Girl, just listen to your mother. Otherwise, if they come this time, we will just send them away.
If you can't find the right person for you, I hope you don't get married.
When I was alone, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
Will you just listen to what your mother says?"
He Damei knew her mother was timid, so she sat beside her and hugged her and said, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I also know you are right to worry about me.
But you've met him and know what kind of person he is, which I think is good.
Besides, he has come to us to look for a job."
Du Xiaofeng asked, "He came here to look for work? Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"This is what Sister Jun told me."
"You are just too soft-hearted. If you can't find a way, it's useless to say anything.
The kid from the Chen family does look good, but you have only known him for two or three days. Two or three days is not enough to fully see through a person. It takes time.
Mom is an experienced person, and she has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, so you still have to be careful."
He Damei smiled and fell into deep thought.
