He Damei explained what happened at noon to her family, and the old man smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence."
The uncle's name is He Yonggang and his son's name is He Changming.
He Yonggang used to be a landlord, and he couldn't hold his head up in the village.
No one had come to the house for a long time. He Yonggang was happy to see Chen Baoguo, so he said to He Damei, "Damei, add two more dishes to our house tonight, and take out your grandfather's bottle of good wine to entertain this little brother tonight."
Seeing how enthusiastic this family was, Chen Baoguo hurried to stop them.
"Uncle, please don't do that. You have good wine, keep it for yourself. I have to go home after dinner. I will wait for you guys in the field early tomorrow morning."
He Damei smiled and said, "My grandfather has the final say in our family, so you should discuss it with him."
He Damei was also happy. She turned around and went into the house to fry another plate of cabbage and a plate of potatoes and eggplant.
When the food was served, He Yonggang pulled Chen Baoguo to the table to eat and poured him some wine.
Chen Baoguo felt a little embarrassed. He Damei put a lot of chili oil on Chen Baoguo's cold noodles. He Yonggang laughed heartily: "Haha, my granddaughter is more enthusiastic than me. Hurry up and eat."
Xu Zhaodi looked at the time on the wall and sighed softly.
Could this person really have returned to Dong?
It was already past nine when Chen Baoguo finished his meal. He only drank two glasses of wine at the table. It was getting late, so Chen Baoguo said, "Uncle, it's very late. I'll go home first."
He Yonggang said: "It's very late, so don't go back. Stay at home for one night."
"No, I didn't tell my family."
He Yonggang saw that Chen Baoguo also had a stubborn personality, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.
"My dear, please be careful on your way back home. Damei, please send him off."
"I understand, Grandpa."
He Damei followed Chen Baoguo out, and Chen Baoguo said, "Um... could you please not tell my sister-in-law about me harvesting wheat at your house?"
He Damei was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
"I don't want her to worry."
Don't be fooled by He Damei's carefree appearance. Her grandfather and father are intellectuals, and she has been influenced by them in many things since she was a child. She knows her limits in everything she does and does.
During the day, she saw Chen Baoguo being very reserved in front of Xu Zhaodi, and it was understandable that he didn't want to let his sister-in-law know.
He Damei said: "Don't worry, I won't tell."
"Thank you. Then you can go back. I'll leave first."
He Damei smiled and watched Chen Baoguo leave the alley before she turned and went back into the house.
When Chen Baoguo came back, Xu Zhaodi was sitting quietly on the sofa.
When the door opened, Chen Baoguo saw her pause.
"sister in law…"
"Why did you just come back?"
Seeing him, Xu Zhaodi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was back.
She was really afraid that he would die suddenly, and she would not be able to explain to anyone when Chen Jianguo came back.
"I was strolling around town and met an old man on the road. I helped him harvest wheat for the whole afternoon."
Xu Zhaodi was helpless, he really couldn't sit still.
"I see. Have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
"Then go to bed early."
When Xu Zhaodi walked to the door, she heard Chen Baoguo's voice from behind.
"Sister-in-law, I promised my uncle that I would go to his house to work these two days. I have to get up early these two days, so I want to tell you."
Xu Zhaodi wanted to persuade him, but when she turned around, she saw that he had already entered the room, leaving only his tall figure.
Chen Jianguo couldn't fall asleep as he stared at the dark ceiling in the room after turning off the lights.
He will be back tomorrow afternoon and he is looking forward to it.
Jiang Dahai, who was standing by, heard Chen Jianguo tossing and turning and asked, "Are you worried about something?"
Chen Jianguo didn't say anything. Jiang Dahai said, "Can you say something? I know you're not asleep."
"say what?"
"Tell me about your mission this time. How did you two complete it?"
Jiang Dahai knew that these two people were capable, and it would be relatively safer to have more people on this mission. Since only two people were arranged at the time, the political commissar chose them.
“This time, the local police also intervened, so that Lao Zhang and I could complete the mission successfully.
This is not the fault of either of us.
It's all over now, go to sleep, we'll go back home after the meeting tomorrow morning."
"Can you sleep? Are you thinking about your wife?"
"No, you talk too much nonsense. If you don't sleep, I will."
Jiang Dahai didn't say anything else. Before Chen Jianguo fell asleep, all he thought about was Xu Zhaodi.
For some reason, he felt extremely excited.
The next morning, when Xu Zhaodi woke up, Chen Baoguo was gone.
At this moment, Chen Baoguo has already started working on the ground.
After having breakfast, Xu Zhaodi walked slowly towards the county town alone. When she passed by the wheat harvesting fields, she didn't think much about it at all.
When she arrived at the store, He Damei approached her with a smile and asked, "Zhao Di, does your brother-in-law have a girlfriend?"
He Damei had asked twice before, and Xu Zhaodi didn't know how to answer. This time she asked again, and Xu Zhaodi said, "He said he has a partner and they will get married at the end of the year."
He Damei was a little disappointed when she heard this, and muttered, "If only he could come here earlier?"
Xu Zhaodi looked at her in confusion, and He Damei came back to her senses and said, "What I mean is, if it was earlier, I would still have a chance, but now they have found a partner, so I definitely don't have a chance.
It seems that it will be difficult for me to get married this year."
After He Damei finished speaking, she lowered her head and kneaded the dough as if nothing had happened.
Wang Daqing said with a smile: "Since you want to get married so badly, why don't we just be a couple?"
"Who wants to marry you? If I, He Damei, want to marry, I have to marry someone I like."
Wang Daqing laughed twice, he was used to making jokes at that time.
He Damei wanted to tell her that Chen Baoguo was working at her house, but she thought that since she had already promised him, it would be better not to tell him.
Xu Zhaodi had steamed buns for lunch today, and had some cold vegetable vermicelli and fried tofu. After the people in the cafeteria left, the back of Xu Zhaodi's clothes were soaked.
The weather was too hot. He Damei thought of the people working in the fields and said, "Zhao Di, I'm going to pick some fairy leaves from the creek and take them home. I want to make some fairy tofu for my family tonight. The weather is too hot. Do you want some leaves? If you do, I'll pick more."
"Isn't it too hot right now?"
Xu Zhaodi thought that Chen Baoguo must be very tired after working outside, so she decided to do some cooking when she got home in the evening to clear away the heat and relieve the summer heat.
"I'm afraid someone will come to the store later."
"Well, I'll go with you then."
Xu Zhaodi took the straw hat, and the two of them carried the basket and went to the riverside, while Wang Daqing stayed behind to watch the store.
Xu Zhaodi now feels that this job is relatively easy and she can do her own things when she has nothing to do.
Chen Jianguo came back when the sun was about to set.
When the people in the compound saw Chen Jianguo, their eyes flashed and their expressions became mysterious.
Chen Jianguo looked confused. He was not there. Could something big have happened again?
