"Okay." Lin Dagui said with a cold face, walking back with his hands behind his back.
The corners of Jiang Mingwen's mouth twitched, but he still followed Lin Dagui obediently.
Lin Dagui looked at Lin Meimei and Wang Ergou seriously. "What Captain Jiang said just now is what I mean. I'm giving you time to discuss whether you want to get married or not. You should each reply to us before 12 noon tomorrow. If either of you disagrees, then Lin the educated youth will return to the educated youth office, and everyone else can go back to their jobs."
Lin Dagui glanced at the unconvinced Lin Meimei and said, "If you don't want to resolve this privately, that's fine too. Since Public Security Officer Yang is here, we can officially call the police. We can do whatever we have to do. Lin Zhiqing, do you want to call the police? Or settle this privately? It's up to you. Don't say we two old men are forcing you. We all know what you want to do."
Lin Meimei looked at Yang Xiaobei with hope, hoping that Yang Xiaobei would plead for her and pretend that the incident had never happened and no one should mention it.
Yang Xiaobei turned his head immediately without even glancing at Lin Meimei: You hurt me, and I still want to plead for you, what a problem.
Lin Meimei said helplessly, "I was wrong. Can you just pretend nothing happened? I...I won't dare to do it again. Wuuuuu...farming is too tiring."
Jiang Mingwen: "You are the only one who is tired. Aren't others tired too? Just because you are tired, you can scheme against others? And you still pretend that nothing happened? Dozens of people are watching us. Do you think we are blind, deaf and dumb? We are all adults. You chose the path yourself, so you have to bear the consequences." If I let you off with this kind of thing, I won't have to care about the Youth League Home anymore.
Lin Meimei cried bitterly, but no one paid any attention to her.
…
Jiang Shushu followed Yang Xiaobei and continued on his way to the city.
Jiang Shushu: "Xiaobei, what do you think Lin Meimei will choose?"
"I don't know. We have to see what the situation is like at Wang Ergou's house. If the situation is too bad, anyone with a brain will choose to leave." After all, the latter still has a chance.
"That Wang Ergou is very smart. Lin Meimei can't beat him. I think it's more likely that Lin Meimei will stay." Unless Wang Ergou's family and he himself are so bad that they are unbearable to look at, but looking at Lin Dagui's attitude towards Wang Ergou, even if Wang Ergou is bad, he is not too bad.
"They both have ulterior motives. It all depends on who can outsmart the other. But that's none of our business. Whether Lin Meimei leaves or gets married, it won't affect us anyway."
"Haha, I'm just curious. Although Wang Ergou is a scoundrel, I have to say he is a talented person." Every evildoer will be punished by another evildoer.
"I'm still a little lucky." If the button on his clothes hadn't just fallen off by itself, Wang Ergou wouldn't have dared to be so self-righteous.
…
The next day, Jiang Shushu rode his bicycle by himself, while Yang Xiaobei took Huang Erniu's grandfather (the man's elder) back to Jiangjia Village.
Arriving at Jiangjia Village, Grandpa Huang saw the beautiful mountains and rivers, and thought of what Yang Xiaobei said about the Jiang family being a place of many talented people. He couldn't help but praise: "Shushu, your brigade has beautiful scenery, no wonder there are so many talented people."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Could it be that Grandpa Huang knows the end of science - metaphysics?
"Grandpa Huang likes it. When you have time, tell Xiaobei and ask him to take you here. You can go fishing and hiking. There are several fruit trees planted on the mountain behind my house, and you can also eat fruit. The longan is ripe and very sweet. I will go to the mountain to pick some later."
"Okay, okay, okay."
…
When Jiang Shushu and the other two arrived at the Jiang family, several aunts and cousins-in-law were helping, and it was very lively.
Jiang Shushu pointed at Jiang He and said: "Grandpa Huang, this is my dad. Don't you like playing chess? My dad likes it too. You can chat about it or play chess." It just so happened that two bad chess players got together, so no one should look down on the other.
…
Then Jiang He and Mr. Huang started chatting. They were embarrassed to play chess at first, but after they found out that both of them were very poor at chess, they became happier and happier as they played.
Jiang Shushu handed the meat he brought back to Xu Hehua and wanted to ask if she needed help. Before he could open his mouth, he was driven out by Xu Hehua and a group of aunts.
She said that Yang Xiaobei and she were the protagonists of the day, and they just had to be happy and look pretty. They didn't have to work, and all they had to do was show up at mealtime.
Seeing Jiang Shushu coming out, Yang Xiaobei quickly asked, "Shushu, your dad doesn't need any help from me, but is there anything I can help you with from your mom?"
"No, they said we're the stars today, so we just need to have lunch at 12:30. No need to help."
"It's the same with your dad. It's only a little after 8 o'clock now. Why don't we sit here together and wait?" It would be inconvenient for the two of us to just sit there while the elders take action.
"I just checked, and there aren't many fruits at home, only about 3 or 4 kilograms. Let's go to the mountains to pick some, and then have Grandpa Huang take some back."
"Okay, then I'll talk to your dad and Grandpa Huang."
"Okay, I'll get the basket."
When they reached the top of the mountain, Yang Xiaobei looked at the sturdy longan tree, climbed up with a run-up, picked a bunch of large, round longans, and handed them to Jiang Shushu: "Shushu, here, you eat the longans down below while I pick the ones that are more difficult to pick."
Jiang Shushu took the longan and said, "Thank you. Be careful up there. Just pick the ones that are easier to pick. Ignore the harder ones. It will be more convenient to bring a bamboo pole with you next time."
Yang Xiaobei was picking longans from the tree, and Jiang Shushu was eating longans under the tree.
Jiang Shushu: "The longan this year is really good, big and sweet."
Yang Xiaobei also ate a few from the tree. "It's really sweet. The ones sold in grocery stores can't compare to this."
"Of course, my dad treasures these trees. Except for the time when they were injured, he always comes to see them every three days."
…
Soon Yang Xiaobei picked a basket of longan.
Jiang Shushu patted the stone beside him and said, "You've worked hard. You should sit down and eat something. It's still early."
The two of them sat on a rock and ate longan. "Xiaobei, does Grandpa Huang know feng shui?"
Yang Xiaobei was confused: "I've never heard of it, why are you asking?"
"Just now, Grandpa Huang said that our area has beautiful scenery and many talented people! I suddenly saw the aura of an immortal in him."
Yang Xiaobei: "…" Really? Why didn't I notice it? It wasn't a very ordinary compliment.
"Maybe the sunlight was brighter and more glaring where Grandpa Huang was standing, so you were dazzled for a moment."
Jiang Shushu: "Your explanation is really refreshing, haha..."
…
At noon, apart from the two young people Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei, the youngest were Jiang Mingwen and his wife, and the others were all old grandfathers and grandmothers. Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei officially got engaged under their witness and blessings.
The engagement dinner took more than an hour to finish.
