Mr. He is sitting in his room right now. Although he is old, he is not yet blind.
Hearing a familiar voice, he asked, "Is that the kid from the Chen family?"
He Damei, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and saw Chen Baoguo carrying a lot of bags in his hands. She couldn't hide the joy on her face.
No wonder he didn't want to come last night. When he came last night, he was carrying a rag bag, and the things in his hands were not as much as today.
He Changming and Du Xiaofeng came out and saw that Chen Baoguo was like a completely different person compared to last year.
Wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit and a pair of clean cloth shoes, standing in the yard, at first glance, the young man looked much more mature.
Both Du Xiaofeng and He Changming's eyes lit up.
After He Yonggang came out, he said with a smile: "Oh my, it really is you, kid.
Come on, come on, come inside and sit down.
I haven't seen you for more than half a year. You seem to be much more stable than before."
Chen Baoguo chuckled: "Thank you, Grandpa."
He Yonggang looked at his son and daughter-in-law standing there stupidly and said with a smile:
"What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the person into the house to get some water."
After He Changming reacted, he stepped forward to take the things from Chen Baoguo's hand and welcomed him into the house.
He Damei had already poured water for the few people and brought it in.
As soon as Chen Baoguo came in, He Yonggang asked him to sit down.
"Are your parents okay back home?"
"That's fine, Grandpa. When I was leaving, my parents were still talking about you. There was nothing much for you back home, so they asked me to bring you two ginseng roots to nourish your body."
As Chen Baoguo spoke, he took out a wrapped rectangular handkerchief from his pocket.
The handkerchief was opened, and there was red paper inside again.
The red paper was opened, revealing two ginsengs tied with a red rope.
He Yonggang smiled and said, "Your parents are really thoughtful. How can I feel embarrassed to do this?"
“It’s okay, Grandpa. My parents will always remember the big piece of bacon you gave our family before the Lunar New Year.
I wanted to come and see you guys as soon as I got off the bus last night, but it was too late and I didn’t want to trouble you, so I came today.”
When He Yonggang heard these words, he laughed even more happily.
He has lived for most of his life, what kind of people has he not seen?
This family is polite and decent in their conduct and behavior, and Damei in their family is a person with good vision.
He Yonggang liked Chen Baoguo the first time he met him, and he liked him even more this time they met.
Although I have never seen what his parents look like, but looking at Chen Baoguo I know that his parents should be good people.
He Yonggang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Oh, I really made your parents worry.
You are not planning to leave for the time being this time, right?"
Chen Baoguo smiled and said, "I won't leave. I'll go to the border in a few days."
He Yonggang was a little surprised when he heard this.
So were He Changming and Du Xiaofeng.
Didn’t he come here this time for his daughter?
He Yonggang asked: "You just arrived, why are you going to the border again?"
As far as he knew, the environment there was harsh, with strong winds and sandstorms, and the journey was long, several thousand kilometers.
"My brother found me a job at the Agricultural Bureau and asked me to learn how to drive a truck. I came to see you this time and went to the border with my master."
When He Yonggang heard this, he was happy, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He went to the frontier, what about Damei?
He Yonggang remained silent and said, "This is a good thing, a good thing."
He Yonggang glanced at He Damei. Didn't this girl say that Chen Baoguo's sister-in-law brought them together? Why did this brat never mention anything about them?
Now that his troubles have been solved, would he look down on his precious granddaughter?
At his age, there are some things he can't ask.
He thought about it carefully. He was old now. If he didn't worry about his granddaughter's affairs, who would?
He Yonggang asked, "Damei said your sister-in-law wanted to bring you two together, what do you think?
Grandpa knows your character and knows that you are a good young man.
When it comes to the matter between you two, I can't just listen to our Damei's opinion, right?
Grandpa also wants to ask you what you think."
He Damei felt panicked and she glanced at Chen Baoguo.
Chen Baoguo's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
He felt a little uneasy and glanced at He Damei secretly.
He knew that she was hardworking and had a good personality, so he had no objections.
Chen Baoguo scratched his hair nervously, looked into Mr. He's deep eyes, and said truthfully: "Grandpa, Damei is a good girl."
Upon hearing this, the old man's heart tightened.
It’s over, this kid has to say something nice to refuse.
He said this to save face for his granddaughter.
When Du Xiaofeng heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
Even if their family background is not good, they at least live on the edge of the city, but what about this brat's family?
I don’t know where it is yet.
Chen Baoguo continued, "Before I came here, my parents asked me to tell you the truth about our family situation, and told you not to lie to me.
I talked about finding a wife last year, but she despised me because my family was poor. Then some things happened and it didn't work out.
I tell you these things, and no matter what you think, I feel at ease.
I don’t want to lie to anyone, and I don’t want to lie to Damei either.”
He Yonggang said, "Damei told us about this, I just want to ask you what you mean."
Chen Baoguo secretly glanced at He Damei again. She was very quiet today.
With his sleeves rolled up at his arms, he stood at the edge of the kang with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking very confident.
He lowered his head and murmured, "If...if Damei doesn't mind, and if Grandpa, uncle, and aunt don't mind, I am willing.
I may stay here to work in the future, and Damei and I will take time to visit my parents later."
When He Damei heard this, her face turned red.
He was so straightforward in his words, he had thought about the future of both of them.
He Changming and Du Xiaofeng were also amused.
Du Xiaofeng actually feels sorry for her daughter. Although she says such nice things now, who knows what will happen in the future?
He Yonggang smiled cheerfully: "Okay, let's arrange it this way.
But little brat, when you come to the border this time, bring your beautiful daughter to your hometown to hold a banquet.
I only have this one granddaughter. If she wants to marry you, you should marry her off in a grand manner.
The first time this girl saw you, she had you in her heart.
Hey kid, you got a great deal this time."
Chen Baoguo was a little surprised. How could they hold a wedding like this?
Shouldn’t we discuss the bride price and other requirements?
Chen Baoguo was a little anxious. Could it be that the situation here was different from his hometown?
"Grandpa, wait a moment."
Mr. He was very happy, but when Chen Baoguo spoke, his smile froze.
"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
Chen Baoguo waved his hands in panic: "No, Grandpa, what I mean is, shouldn't we still talk about the gift?
What else do you want?"
Mr. He said, “Forget about the betrothal gift. If you want a betrothal gift, you have to pay for the dowry.
Your home is so far away, and we can't go there either. You two can discuss and see if Damei wants anything. Then you can buy her something according to your ability."
