He Jinshu didn't know how to respond to such an intimate gesture. His face flushed red and he said to Chen Chen in a cold and hard tone, "I want to go home."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you home right away." After that, he kissed He Jinshu again, got up from him, went outside the carriage, and then drove the carriage to Wujia Village.
Because Ah Shu promised Chen Zhen to marry him, Chen Zhen was particularly happy today. He was driving the carriage while humming an unknown little tune.
He Jinshu in the carriage was not as happy as Chen Zhen. After listening to Chen Zhen's tune in silence for a while, he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage. The expression on his face was more heavy than happy.
After arriving at Wujia Village, Chen Chen drove the carriage to the innermost part of the village. Because He Jinshu was an outsider, when he bought the residential land, only the innermost part had vacant residential land.
When the carriage entered Wujia Village, those who knew Chen Zhen looked at him with unfriendly eyes, especially Mrs. Wu, who directly spat at Chen Zhen's carriage and cursed him for being shameless and a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Because the scolding was so soft, Chen Zhen didn't hear it, but even if he did, he wouldn't bother with her because he was in a very good mood today.
The carriage stopped in front of a mud courtyard gate. After parking the carriage, Chen Chen jumped out first, then lifted the curtain and said to He Jinshu: "Ah Shu, come, I'll carry you out of the carriage."
He Jinshu's face darkened when he heard this, and he refused directly: "No, I can do it myself."
But Chen Chen didn't listen to him at all. After he bent down and walked out of the carriage, he carried the person directly out of the carriage.
He Jinshu had nothing more to say about this, so he stopped talking, just tidied his clothes, and prepared to go home.
But there was a tail following behind him. He Jinshu glanced at him and asked in a cold voice: "Why don't you leave?"
"I'll say hello to Grandpa He and Grandma He before I leave." Chen Chen said as a matter of course.
He Jinshu refused upon hearing this and said, "No need, you'll have plenty of opportunities to say hello later."
"It's okay, Ah Shu. I'm already at your door. How can I not say hello?" Chen Chen said with a look of disapproval, and then urged He Jinshu: "Ah Shu, go open the door quickly."
He Jinshu didn't want to open the door. He just wanted the man to leave quickly because he hadn't figured out how to tell his grandparents about this.
While the two were in a stalemate, the door was opened from the inside.
Grandma He was tidying up things in the yard. When she heard the sound of a carriage outside the gate, she wanted to open the door to see who was outside. Then she saw He Jinshu and a handsome young man.
This little boy is really handsome, Grandma He sighed in her heart, but he is a little tall, almost as tall as his son Jinshu.
As soon as Chen Zhen saw Grandma He come out, she stepped past He Jinshu and hurried forward, smiling and saying to her, "You are Grandma He, right? I'm Chen Zhen, the person your grandson is going to marry. A few days ago, a matchmaker came to talk to you about the marriage."
After hearing what Chen Zhen said, Grandma He was momentarily stunned. Someone had proposed marriage before, also to Chen Zhen, but hadn't they said they'd discuss it in a few days? How could it be finalized today?
Thinking of this, Grandma He looked at He Jinshu, and asked doubtfully: "Jinshu, this..."
He Jinshu said with a stern face, "Grandma, I'll tell you about this later."
After saying that, he said to Chen Zhen, "You go back first."
When Chen Chen heard this, he said to He Jinshu, "Then Ah Shu, I'll leave first. I'll have the matchmaker come over tomorrow to discuss our marriage."
"No need," He Jinshu refused, "I will find a matchmaker to go to your house and propose marriage."
Chen Zhen was delighted when he heard this and said, "Then when will you come to my house to propose marriage? I think tomorrow is a good day, why don't you go tomorrow?"
He Jinshu glanced at Chen Chen calmly when he heard this, then said, "I understand. I'll go tomorrow."
Seeing this, Chen Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. You must come!"
He Jinshu nodded slightly, indicating that he would go.
Seeing this, Chen Chen turned to Grandma He and said, "Grandma He, I'm going home first. I'll come see you another day."
After saying this, without waiting for Grandma He's response, he turned around and jumped onto the carriage, heading towards Shenjia Village.
After Chen Zhen left, He Jinshu and Grandma He returned to the house.
After returning to the main hall and sitting down, Grandma He asked, "Jinshu, what's going on between you and that boy?"
"Grandma, I'm going to marry Chen Chen." He Jinshu replied indifferently.
"So you don't plan to take the next exam?" Grandma He looked at him carefully and asked.
He Jinshu shook his head, lowered his eyes to look at the table, and said in an unreadable manner, "No."
"If that's the case, then why do you still want to marry that boy?" Grandma He said a little angrily.
He Jinshu replied coldly after hearing this: "He is the one who wants to provoke me."
After hearing this, Grandma He sighed and said, "Xiaoshu, since you are planning to marry that boy, why don't we just stay in this village and live a peaceful life?"
He Jinshu shook his head silently and said nothing.
Seeing this, Grandma He sighed again and stopped trying to persuade him. She knew that it was useless to persuade him.
Then Grandma He continued, "Didn't you say you were going to propose marriage tomorrow? Last time I came here, I heard that young man's family was quite well-off. Given our current situation, we probably can't offer a very good betrothal gift."
"Grandma, it's okay, just do your best." He Jinshu said in a low voice.
"Then I will find a matchmaker now, and you go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy the betrothal gifts and propose marriage at the time of Si, is that okay?" Grandma He said.
He Jinshu said, "No need, grandma, I'll go find a matchmaker later."
"You go look for it? Do you know where to look for it?" Grandma He looked at him suspiciously and asked.
He Jinshu was stuck for a moment when asked. He really didn't know where to look. He used to spend most of his time reading and didn't care much about things in the outside world.
Grandma He knew what was going on when she saw him like that, so she said, "Okay, I'll go find it for you. You stay home and take care of your grandpa."
He Jinshu could only nod and say, "Thank you, grandma."
