Ke Meiyu chuckled softly and said, "I was thinking that Ke Enshu's mother is pregnant, which means my medical skills are not bad, so I want to go to Comrade Xiao Li's house at the supply and marketing cooperative to see his sister-in-law."
Grandma Ke knew her granddaughter never knew the meaning of politeness. Since she said she didn't need the money, she didn't insist. She just told her, "If you need money, just ask Grandma! Grandma has plenty of money. Your grandpa also gives you a subsidy of twenty-five yuan every month. How much can we old folks spend?"
"I'll save all the milk for you!"
Ke Meiyu's eyes welled up with tears. She used to be a rich heiress, and all she got was twenty-five yuan...
She had never seen what a bill under 100 yuan looked like. When she went out to swipe her card, even if she had cash in her pocket, she would give the change as a tip.
She always spends tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars when she goes out. When has she ever cared about a penny or two?
Seeing the old lady's doting affection for her, Ke Meiyu wanted to carry her family with her wherever she went. Being loved and cared for made her feel like she owned a whole world, richer than in her previous life!
The old lady said again, "Baby, Comrade Li is a good person. When Grandma went shopping before, she would secretly give me some rare items."
"The saleswoman doesn't have anything special. She's just using her own share to make this old lady happy."
"I don't know about others, but I like girls like her—well-behaved, sensible, and lovable. If it weren't for you, Bao'er, in our family, I would be so envious."
Ke Meiyu smiled and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, what do you think about me helping you marry her to be your granddaughter-in-law?"
Grandma Ke was taken aback. She looked at the five strong young men standing like pillars in the yard and nodded repeatedly, her face full of excitement: "This is a good idea. We didn't dare to aspire to her before, but now that your brothers are about to become university students at the provincial university, we can still ask her opinion."
“Aside from not liking to work in the fields, your brothers are actually not bad. They are filial, protective of their own, and very considerate to anyone.”
"However, it also depends on what Comrade Li and her family think. We can't let the marriage turn into an enmity."
Ke Meiyu nodded, "Grandma, don't worry. With me in charge, what problems could there be? Do you think I've been training my brothers for the past two weeks for nothing?"
"I have a very clear purpose!"
The old lady called out "Wait a minute," and went back into the house to gather a large amount of food. "Whenever Xiao Li has something good to eat, he always thinks of giving some to the old lady. We didn't have much good stuff before, but now that we've got some wild game, we'll give some to others too."
Ke Meiyu smiled, slung her bamboo basket over her shoulder, and jumped onto her older brother's car.
Ke Yuanda was full of brute strength. He sped up on the bike and quickly took off down the path. He rode steadily and was careful to avoid potholes on the road.
It's already winter, and the midday sun brings a gentle warmth. Ke Meiyu couldn't help but hum a little tune in a cheerful mood.
"It seems Xiao Qin treats you well," he said, adding that with so many people in his family, he rarely had a chance to talk to a girl alone.
Ke Meiyu nodded, smiled and said, "Of course, I'm his dear wife, who else would he love more than me?"
"We will stay together until we grow old. Even if we have children and they grow up and fly away, we will still continue to take care of our little family."
"Big brother, haven't you ever thought about who you'll start a family with in the future?"
Ke Yuanda froze, and the car drove over several dents, causing Ke Meiyu to cry out in pain several times.
He quickly patted the handle, saying, "I... I haven't thought about it yet. I'll wait until I graduate from university and find a job."
"I haven't even started earning money yet, and I can barely support myself. How can I possibly support another person?"
Ke Meiyu chuckled: "Big brother, have you not made up your mind yet, or haven't met the right person, or do you feel that you're not good enough for someone else right now?"
"Is it because you have girls to compare yourself to? No girl in the surrounding area can't catch your eye?"
"Okay, okay, alright then, the five of us bachelors will stick with you from now on!" Ke Yuanda said irritably.
Ke Meiyu didn't continue the conversation, vaguely understanding that her brother actually had high standards and believed in the principle of "better to have nothing than something bad".
Their ambitions are evident from their unwillingness to spend their entire lives working in the fields!
Now that they've become university students, Ke Meiyu thinks her brothers will definitely seize the opportunity to pursue their dreams and realize their ambitions.
Upon arriving in town, Ke Meiyu directed her brother to a beautiful courtyard with red bricks and green tiles, where the residents were all people in the town who were registered in the organization's files and had secure jobs.
Departments such as state-run restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, grain bureaus, street offices, organizational reform committees, and bureaus do not have many staff members, which cannot be compared with the hundreds of employees in factories. Therefore, welfare housing is built in a centralized manner, and the specifications vary, which also reflects the different status and position of each person.
Newly hired employees live in staff dormitories, while some long-term employees live in tenement buildings with their families. Those with higher positions are allocated nice apartments, while the top three leaders in the company live in two-story villas with yards!
"Girl, what brings you here?" Huayuan Town is small; you can see the end of the street after just two main streets. Ke Yuan, a native of the town, naturally knows what kind of people live in the courtyard.
He asked, his scalp tingling.
Ke Meiyu stood at the gate, tiptoeing to peek inside. She saw the security guard and waved with a smile, calling out, "Grandpa, I'm looking for Comrade Li Juanmei, the youngest daughter of Director Li of the supply and marketing cooperative!"
The old man dragged his broom over, stared at Ke Meiyu and Ke Yuanda for a moment, and asked, "Young comrades, what's your relationship with Director Li? What do you want with them? Do you have a letter of introduction?"
“I am a good friend of Comrade Li Juanmei. My name is Ke Meiyu, and I live in Luofeng Village. My family got a few pounds of wild boar meat a while ago, so I came to let them have a taste.” As she spoke, Ke Meiyu also took out a wild boar sausage and handed it over. “Grandpa, you should try some too. My mother’s cooking skills are excellent, just as good as those at the meat processing plant.”
