To avoid being seen and questioned, Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan deliberately chose a less crowded road. They met few people on the way to the cowshed.
When the two of them arrived outside the cowshed, Gu Jingyuan went forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a questioning voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Gu Jingyuan."
After hearing the name, someone inside became excited. Old Master Xue hurried to open the door, and when he saw that it was really Gu Jingyuan standing at the door, he burst into laughter.
"Jingyuan, it's really you. How have you been recently? How are your parents?" As soon as he saw Gu Jingyuan, Mr. Xue had a lot of questions to ask him.
"Grandpa, let's go in first."
"Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot everything." Old Master Xue happily welcomed Gu Jingyuan and the others in. "And Qingmiao girl, I haven't seen you for a long time."
As they walked into the cowshed, Shen Qingmiao replied to Grandpa Xue, "Grandpa Xue, I haven't been home for a while, so you can't see me."
Old Master Xue didn't ask Shen Qingmiao where he was going or what he was doing. He knew that young people had their own things to do and just needed to remember to come and see him occasionally.
Old Master Xue was still the same Old Master Xue. He started showing off as soon as he entered. "Look, my grandson is here to see me again. And Qingmiao is here to see me too."
The other two old men looked at Mr. Xue's arrogant look and felt so angry that they wanted to grab Mr. Xue and teach him a lesson.
The two old men turned their faces away because they didn't want to see Mr. Xue's smug look and tried to ignore it.
But Mr. Xue was not the kind of person who would let them succeed. Wherever the two old men turned their faces, Mr. Xue would go there, insisting that they look at him and say it again.
The two old men, who were annoyed beyond belief, finally bowed down to Mr. Xue's shamelessness and allowed him to show off.
The two old men’s mentality is: You can show off all you want, I just won’t listen.
Only the two old men themselves know how much envy they feel in their hearts.
"Don't make that expression. My grandson is just like your grandson. Feel free to use him."
Mr. Xue's words were sincere, but they left the two old men, Gu Jingyuan, and Shen Qingmiao all in a state of confusion. What a terrifying statement! The two old men quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no."
Gu Jingyuan and Shen Qingmiao also smiled helplessly. The old man still had the same mischievous temper as always.
After Gu Jingyuan and Shen Qingmiao sat down, Mr. Xue asked Gu Jingyuan, "Jingyuan, how come you have time to come and see me this time?"
It had only been half a year since his grandson last visited him, so Jing Yuan shouldn't have had any vacation time. So how did he get here?
Mr. Xue is very worried about the relationship between these two.
The army couldn't possibly give him leave for no reason. Something must have happened.
Gu Jingyuan didn't want to tell his grandfather about his injury, but under his grandfather's interrogating eyes, Gu Jingyuan felt that he could no longer hide it, so he told the truth: "This time I mainly sent Miaomiao back. Grandpa, Miaomiao and I are dating."
This news immediately softened Mr. Xue's serious expression. He looked at the shy Shen Qingmiao beside him and said in surprise, "Really? After hearing this news, I have no regrets even if Grandpa passes away."
What Mr. Xue was most concerned about was his grandson's marriage. Now that he heard that he and Qingmiao were dating, it was like a big worry was lifted from Mr. Xue's mind.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Old Master Xue said three "Okays" in a row. "Now, I, your grandfather, feel relieved. You must treat Qingmiao well in the future. Qingmiao is a good girl. If you dare to let her down, I will ask your mother to deal with you."
As for Shen Qingmiao, Mr. Xue was extremely satisfied. The fact that the two of them could be together was the happiest thing for Mr. Xue.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will treat Miaomiao well."
Old Master Xue looked at Shen Qingmiao with an apologetic look, "It's a pity that Grandpa has nothing now, and there is nothing to give you as a gift. If it were before, Grandpa could have given you something good."
When he came over, Mr. Xue had searched the place thoroughly.
Then, as if he thought of something, Mr. Xue left his seat, searched the bedside, and came back to hand Shen Qingmiao a key.
"Jingyuan knows where my things are. If those things are still there, this key can still come in handy. If they are not there, then forget it." As he spoke, Grandpa Xue showed a nostalgic look.
Gu Jingyuan knew exactly what Grandpa Xue was talking about. When the incident happened, Grandpa Xue had already made preparations and hid his precious collection in a place that only Grandpa Xue and Gu Jingyuan knew.
Holding the key, Shen Qingmiao felt that Mr. Xue valued him.
"Grandpa Xue, I can't accept such a valuable key. I believe you will return one day, and then you can use this key yourself."
Shen Qingmiao knew clearly that dawn would come in the near future. As long as Mr. Xue and the others could hold on for a while, they would see the dawn.
Old Master Xue smiled and didn't take Shen Qingmiao's words to heart. Not only him, but the other two old masters were the same.
They knew that those were just the little girl's words to comfort them.
Shen Qingmiao saw that the old men didn't believe her, so she said again in a very sure tone: "Grandpa Xue, you have to believe me, that day will definitely come."
Although the old men didn't know where the little girl got her confidence from, the determination in her eyes seemed to infect them and their lost confidence resurfaced.
Even the little girl has such confidence, so what reason do these old people with the dirt almost buried up to their necks have not to believe it?
If they are not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of believing?
The old men's gazes changed, becoming full of anticipation. Shen Qingmiao smiled knowingly when he saw the changes in the old men.
As long as they persist, they will definitely see it.
After watching the whole process, Gu Jingyuan felt a little admiration for Shen Qingmiao, who had such firm confidence.
Old Master Xue smiled and said, "Just keep the key. Jingyuan is my only grandson, and everything will belong to him after I die. It's only natural that I give it to you now."
Originally, Mr. Xue planned to give all his things to Gu Jingyuan. Since Shen Qingmiao was dating Gu Jingyuan, giving it to her was also part of Mr. Xue's plan.
"Just take it, and consider it a gift from grandpa."
After being persuaded by Mr. Xue and Gu Jingyuan, Shen Qingmiao finally accepted the key of great significance. She would keep it well and return it to Mr. Xue when the time comes.
"By the way, when are you planning to get married?" Old Master Xue began to take an interest in their marriage.
Gu Jingyuan was also anxious, but getting married wasn't that easy. "I guess it won't be that fast. I'll file the marriage report after I get back and wait until it's approved."
Shen Qingmiao was actually happy in her heart. She didn't want to get married quickly and always felt a little scared.
