"Hehe, you two must thoroughly understand the study report, then the exam will be much easier."
"Yes, now all the second-year high school students have one, and they treat it like a treasure."
Er Ya came in at this moment. "You two study on your own, we're going to Grandma's house."
Sanya really wanted to go, but seeing her second sister's expressionless face, she turned her pitiful expression to Cheng Guangxu.
"Er Ya, shall we take them with us? Let them relax their minds a bit. That way they'll be more efficient."
Er Ya rolled her eyes at San Ya, but didn't object.
The four of them left the courtyard and walked onto the street, where they were greeted by the villagers.
"Er Ya, who is this?" The villagers didn't hold back and asked directly.
"Auntie, this is my boyfriend. I brought him back to let my great-grandmother see him."
"My boyfriend! He's quite good-looking."
Cheng Guangxu's mouth was grinning from ear to ear the whole way; quite a few people knew he was Er Ya's boyfriend.
Upon entering the old lady's house, we saw Liu Aimin cleaning fish in the yard.
"Uncle, we've arrived."
"Hurry inside, your great-grandmother is inside."
Er Ya whispered to Cheng Guangxu, "This is Liu Jingze's house. That was his dad just now."
"Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Cheng Guangxu."
"Hello, Uncle!"
"Okay, hurry up and go inside. Aifen, come out quickly, Erya has brought her boyfriend over."
"They're here, they're here."
Hu Aifen came out and looked at the four people in the courtyard, and was very happy.
"Come on, let's go to your great-grandmother's house." She took Er Ya's hand, but her eyes were sizing up Cheng Guangxu.
"Cheng Guangxu, this is your aunt."
"Hello, ma'am."
"Good, this young man is very popular."
Upon being praised like that, Cheng Guangxu immediately broke into a wide smile.
The old lady had heard the commotion outside long ago. When they came in, she was putting on her shoes.
Er Ya stepped forward and said, "Grandma, I've come back to see you."
"Okay, okay, it's good to go home for the New Year. Otherwise, it will be just your parents at home."
"Yes, we're all back."
Shi Tou and San Ya obediently went over to greet them.
Hurry up and get on the kang (heated brick bed), it's quite cold here. Aifen, go and make them some sweet soup.
"Grandma, please don't make my aunt go through all this trouble."
"It's no trouble at all. You can stay with your great-grandmother."
"Grandma, this is my boyfriend, Cheng Guangxu. He's Hongmei's classmate."
Cheng Guangxu sat down in front of the old lady, letting her look him over.
"The old lady has seen too many people in her life, so she can get a general idea of what's going on at first glance."
"Good lad!"
"Grandma, I've often heard Hongmei talk about you. Today I finally get to meet you."
"Hehe, I like this kid. Our second daughter has good taste."
"Grandma, I am an orphan. The villagers raised me. I have no other relatives. This place will be my home from now on."
"Okay, this is your home."
Sanya had already taken off her shoes and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), sitting on the other side of the old lady. "Grandma, my sister Hongmei's belly is huge. Su Chen took her pulse and said it's twins."
"Really?" The old lady was almost speechless.
"Yes, she's four months pregnant now, and she can't even see her own feet anymore."
"No, we'll go after the New Year. This is no small matter."
"Grandma, we left on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Cheng Guangxu works at the research institute, so he arrived on the sixth day."
"Okay, you guys go first, I have to wait for your second uncle and the others. They're a bunch of troublemakers, no, I'll have to have your eldest uncle make a call."
Love the people!
"Why!"
Liu Aimin had just finished washing his hands when he heard the old lady's voice and immediately went into the house.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Go call your second uncle. If they don't leave tomorrow, they shouldn't come back."
"What's wrong?"
“I’m worried about Hongmei’s twins, so I’ll leave after the fifteenth.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll call right away. Grandma, even if they leave tomorrow, they won't arrive until the 15th, right?"
"It's alright, just take a look at what it means and that's enough. It was originally your second uncle and his wife who were willing, but because I didn't die, they had to bring me back so I could see them. It's just a formality."
"Okay, I'll make the call right away."
"Wait a minute, call Hongmei too. No, I have to talk to Hongmei in person. Wait for me and we'll go together in a bit."
“Okay, I’ll help Aifen cook. The four of them have to stay for dinner.”
"Go."
The old lady held Er Ya's hand. "You're of marriageable age now. Judging from the situation, you two won't be going back to your hometown."
"Grandma, we come back every year, but we can't be sure when Cheng Guangxiu will come back."
"It's alright. Young people should prioritize their careers. He's contributing to the country and the people; you can't hold him back, understand?"
"Grandma, I understand."
"Grandma, don't worry. I will definitely treat Er Ya well."
"Good boy, Grandma believes in you."
The old woman let go of their hands. She moved a little further onto the kang (a heated brick bed). She opened the cabinet on the kang and took out a wooden box.
"Er Ya, this is what your great-grandmother prepared for you. I've been preparing this for years. I was just afraid that one day I would pass away before you two were married."
"Grandma, you're in good health. Hongmei's child is waiting for you to visit."
"Hehe, my family has also moved back to the capital, so you can go back home to live now."
"Haha, that's great! No one will dare to bully me anymore."
"Grandma, I also want to apply to the Capital University."
"Wow, my little aunt is so amazing?"
"That's right, I even went to visit the Capital University. Grandma, don't worry, I'm sure I'll get in. Just wait for me in the capital."
"Okay! I'm waiting for my great-aunt."
"Stone, what about you?"
"Grandma, I want to apply to military academy. I went to check it out. Don't worry, my chances of getting in are better than Sanya's."
"Hehe, great-grandmother is waiting for you two in the capital!"
Cheng Guangxu, quickly take off your shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed). I have a lot to tell you.
Cheng Guangxu slipped on his shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and sat down beside the old lady with his legs crossed.
He took their hands together and said, "I'm getting old, and I just hope you can live a good life together."
Both of them nodded.
The old lady continued, "There are rules to living a good life. Er Ya, our Liu family's daughter, once she gets married, she can't bring shame to the Liu family."
"Grandma, I will live a good life."
"Yes, that's how it should be. You have to respect your husband. The work at the research institute must be extremely busy and demanding, right?"
"Yes, we can't leave until the project is completed. Even if we do leave, we can't leave the capital at will. I'm a newcomer and haven't really participated in the core research yet, so I was able to come back this time. It was a stroke of luck."
"So you two really need to understand each other. Only then can you make it work."
