"Isn't this too bad? Please trouble the villagers." Meng Zhehan said.

"Hey, nothing happened. I'm free."

Captain Bao insisted, so Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan let him make the arrangements, and reminded the personnel to pay attention to safety, not that the goods were a problem.

The things on the truck that were brought to Taohua were all packed in wooden boxes or cartons, so there was no need to worry about moving them. As for the fresh mutton and pork that Shen Yu had asked for through his connections, Taohua definitely could not eat all of them by herself, so he had an agenda.

His relationship with Taohua cannot always stay at the current stage. It is fine to be a "candidate partner" for a few days, but it won't work for too long.

This was the first time in 27 years that he fell in love. Once he had decided on this girl, he would never give up. He had to be proactive and make the transition from reserve to official as soon as possible to secure her status.

This visit to Linshui Village is an opportunity that must not be missed.

Zhang Guoqing brought Zhou Cuiling, Zhou Shi'an and his wife to meet Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu. After they exchanged some polite words, they walked into the yard.

Meng Tao asked Shen Yu: "Are the people driving the truck Yang Licheng and his team? The truck is left at the bridgehead, tell them to come back and rest."

Shen Yu replied, "It's not Yang Licheng and his group, it's the other two people - I've told them to go back to the commune or the county town to stay overnight after unloading the cargo, and they'll leave Mengzhou early tomorrow morning."

Meng Tao thought that the weather was cold and she had to ask them to have some hot meals. She thought about how Yang Licheng and his friends always refused her invitation to dinner and left quickly every time they came to deliver goods. Maybe these two were the same. So why not: "I have lunch boxes and steamed buns at home. Can I serve them some hot soup and hot dishes and send someone to deliver them?"

Shen Yu looked at her, smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble Guoqing to drive there."

When they saw Liu Yongsheng in the room, Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan greeted him respectfully. Liu Yongsheng was also surprised by the demeanor and appearance of the two young people. He nodded in appreciation and looked at them. When he looked away from Meng Zhehan's face, he paused for a moment, then immediately turned back and looked at him carefully from head to toe. His gentle smile gradually faded, and his eyes became more profound and sharp. He asked, "You said your name is Meng Zhehan just now. Because Xiao... Taohua also has the surname Meng, so you recognized her as your godsister?"

Meng Zhehan smiled politely: "Yes."

Liu Yongsheng stared at him: "Are you working in the capital of Province D? How old are you? Where is your hometown? Are your parents and relatives all right? How many uncles do you have?"

Meng Zhehan: “…” This old man, is he checking the household registration?

Liu Jianxin, Shen Yu, Captain Bao and others standing nearby were also confused and could not understand what Liu Yongsheng meant.

Meng Tao did not see this scene. She carried the puppy to Jinniu's room and asked Wang Tiegen and Jinniu to help look after it. She washed her hands and went into the kitchen to get a lunch box to fill with hot soup and hot dishes. She then packed ten steamed buns, put them in a basket and covered them with clean cotton cloth. Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Cuiling were very happy to take on this task and walked away hand in hand, holding the baskets.

Inside the room, Meng Zhehan answered Liu Yongsheng's question: "I am 27 years old this year. I have been working in the capital of D Province for three years. My hometown is Anxi. All my relatives are doing well. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your concern."

When Liu Yongsheng heard him say "my hometown is Anxi", his expression relaxed, his body visibly relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "Okay, okay. You are very good, young and promising, with a bright future, a pillar of the country - thank you for taking care of Taohua in the provincial capital."

Meng Zhehan: "You're welcome."

He did not tell the truth. Anxi was his mother's hometown. He went there often and was more familiar with it. His real hometown was the capital. The Meng family had lived in the capital for hundreds of years.

He secretly guessed that the old man's expression suddenly changed after taking a second look at him, and why did he care so much about his hometown and his uncles and relatives? Meng Zhehan was sure that he had never seen Mr. Liu. Could it be that the old man saw something in him? Who did he look like? And this person also had the surname Meng, and had a grudge against the old man?

Liu Yongsheng had already focused his attention on Shen Yu: "This is Shen..."

Meng Zhehan was about to say that this was my friend, but Shen Yu spoke first, his tone calm and natural: "Shen Yu, 27 years old, currently working in the provincial capital, I am Meng Taohua's love interest."

This was another situation. Everyone in the room was shocked, including Liu Yongsheng. Everyone stared at Shen Yu with wide eyes, without moving their eyeballs, as if he was a visitor from outer space.

Meng Tao was about to enter the house when she heard this and almost tripped over the threshold - what was Shen Yu doing? Why did he come out in public without saying hello?!

Shen Yu took two big steps over, held Meng Tao in his arms, and said softly, "Since Grandpa Liu asked, I have no choice but to tell you. I can't hide it from my elders, right? Sooner or later, everyone will know about this."

Meng Tao: "..." What can she say? Meng Zhehan looked at Shen Yu disapprovingly. He knew what this guy was thinking, but it seemed too hasty to make it public at this time. Meng Zhehan didn't know about the "candidate partner" yet, so he always felt that Taohua agreed to date Shen Yu under duress, and Shen Yu must have played some conspiracy.

It's all his fault. He led the students to the training base at that time, which was completely closed. He couldn't communicate with Taohua and couldn't get the latest information in time.

Liu Jianxin asked Meng Tao: "I remember that the last time you came to Pingjiang City, you seemed to have told your aunt Sun Hong that you didn't have a partner yet?"

Xu Yuting came back to his senses, walked over and pulled Taohua away from Shen Yu, and looked directly at Shen Yu: "Are you talking nonsense? Our little Huahua doesn't even have a partner!"

Liu Yongsheng then asked: "Taohua, is this true? Is this guy your boyfriend?"

Meng Tao: "Grandpa Liu, everyone is hungry, how about we eat first? Then we can talk after dinner?"

Liu Yongsheng: "It's just a question of one sentence. It won't delay the meal."

Xu Yuting also said: "Yes! Tell me quickly, is this Shen talking nonsense? I tell you, Xiaohuahua, don't worry, you don't have to worry about not getting married, you still have me, and..."

He looked at Liu Jianye and Xu Yulin a few steps away, and continued reluctantly: "If you don't like me, there are still these two - Liu Jianye hasn't come yet, he is worried about you!"

Meng Tao: “!!!”

What did she hear? Was Xu Yuting the guy she understood? If this was really what Mr. Liu meant, then what would she become?

She didn't want to mislead the young people! Meng Tao looked up at Shen Yu, who was smiling at her. Okay, it's him. He was the one who caused the trouble, and he has to stop it.
