"Okay, okay, tell them your family is clear, and you'll see the girl when they come back."
Mr. Cheng said, "That's it?"
"What else?"
"You came all this way here to get me here, and you just dismiss me with one sentence?"
Yan Guofeng chuckled lightly, looking quite proud. "Then go and see for yourself. They're at the foot of the mountain. You should be able to see them if you go over there. But don't scare the girl. She's a good girl."
"How do you know she's a good girl? Whose family is she from? Someone you know?"
"You don't know this, do you? The girl your Minglang likes is a good friend of my Yuxiu's from the Medical University. Think about it, who can get along well with my Yuxiu? How bad can she be?" Yan Guofeng said proudly, "That girl is now working as a formal doctor in the First Hospital of Shangjing."
Mr. Cheng's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Can this be faked? Can I deceive you for a moment and then deceive you forever?"
"Indeed." Old Master Cheng slapped the armrest excitedly. "Did your Yuxiu introduce him?"
"Of course not."
"Thank you so much, Yuxiu! The one in my family looks easy to talk to, but actually has a very stubborn temper. This is really great, really great." Old Master Cheng rubbed his hands and sincerely thanked the eldest grandson's wife of the Yan family. His grandson can finally get married.
Yan Guofeng nodded, "Yes, we have to thank my Yuxiu. When they get married, we must thank the matchmaker for the gift."
"Don't worry, there will be a thank you gift for the matchmaker. I will definitely give Yuxiu a big, thick red envelope." Old Master Cheng stood up impatiently, "I have to go and take a look."
"Take it easy! Don't scare the girl away."
Old Master Cheng had already walked out of the main hall. Yan Guofeng shook his head helplessly and said to his three great-grandchildren, "Look at your great-grandfather Cheng. He's too unstable. You mustn't learn from him. When you grow up and reach the age, find a girlfriend and bring her home. Any great-grandfather with good character will accept her."
Don't let the elderly urge one by one.
There are so many older single men and women in the compound. I don’t know what’s going on now. Is it common to have single men and women?
Back then, they didn't do that. There were matchmakers, and if they were attracted to each other, they'd get married. There was no such thing as knowing each other well or dating for two more years like there is now. That was all nonsense. How could they have so much free time to date when they were fighting a war?
Old Master Cheng didn't hear a word Old Master Yan said. If he had, he would have certainly agreed. Young people nowadays are such a worry. Can't they just figure out their own lifelong affairs? They have to keep pushing them.
Old Master Cheng looked at the mountain and walked towards the foot of it. From a distance he saw his grandson and a girl walking along the edge of a field. The girl was dressed fashionably and was about 1.6 meters tall. Her appearance was too far away to be seen clearly, but she must be good-looking.
When watching them walk, his grandson always leaned towards them; the girl always subconsciously kept her distance, and he was very happy.
From the perspective of self-love, she was indeed a good girl; he found a place with lush crops and squatted down, and also pulled the guard who followed him with him.
"Squat down, squat down! You're too conspicuous. You can't be exposed." He wanted to observe his future granddaughter-in-law more, but how could he observe her if someone saw him?
The guard squatted down with a confused look on his face. He didn't even know why he came to Hongxing Village. He actually followed the old man to do peeping things one day.
"Mr. Cheng, it's not good for us to do this... right?" She pointed at him and then at herself. Why did she feel so guilty?
"What's wrong with that? As long as no one finds out, it's fine."
The guard was squatting with his arms folded. He was a tall and strong man, but he was forced to curl up into a ball.
Cheng Minglang accompanied Zhong Yuan as they walked on Tiankan Road. They always felt that someone was staring at them. However, there were quite a few people here, including villagers working in the fields and friends who came to play together. It didn't seem strange to be stared at.
Putting aside his doubts and suspicions for the moment, Cheng Minglang asked, "Comrade Zhong Yuan, does this mean we're officially in a relationship?"
Zhong Yuan held the bag in her hand, glanced at him, and got to know him a little better; he was a man who liked to be straightforward.
If she knew there was a word called 'straight man' in later generations, she would definitely describe him like this.
"Does this count as a confirmed relationship?"
Cheng Minglang didn't know how to answer this rhetorical question. "Even if you don't agree now, I won't give up. I think we're a good match. We get along well, have the same values, and have many similar ideas. Look, even after we get married, you can still go to work normally, and I can pick you up and drop you off at get off work. How convenient!"
"We can come together to play with my sister-in-law and the others in the future."
The last sentence touched Zhong Yuan's heart. She really valued her friendship with Yuxiu; from the initial hit it off and having a lot of fun talking to each other to the current close friends.
"Let's talk about it later." A woman still has to be reserved.
She knew very well that if a person gets something too easily, he or she would not cherish it; nor had she made up her mind to spend her life with a man.
Cheng Minglang's eyes lit up with a smile, "Okay, you can accept me whenever you want."
"If we are together, will your family accept it?" This is what she is most worried about. A marriage that is not blessed is tiring after all.
"Yes, they are eager for me to find someone to marry as soon as possible, no matter who it is."
Zhong Yuan: ...
This guy, how low is his family's bottom line for marriage?
Cheng Minglang straightened up seriously and said, "Don't worry, we won't live with our elders after we get married. I have a house in Shangjing. We will live alone and go back for a meal during the New Year and other holidays. No elders will interfere with our private lives."
Zhong Yuan: It looks good, I’m attracted to it.
Cheng Minglang was also good at observing people's expressions, so he naturally noticed her emotion. "Comrade Zhong Yuan, don't worry. After we are together, we have the final say on everything."
"Can you really do it?" I've seen a lot, and I know that too many men don't keep their words. They are one way before marriage and another way after marriage.
"Yes." Cheng Minglang said seriously, "Comrade Zhong Yuan, I don't know what you are worried about. Let me tell you my plans for the future."
"Okay, go ahead."
Cheng Minglang stared at her and spoke solemnly, "In the future, I will give two-thirds of my earnings to my wife, and I will keep one-third for other investments. I won't be involved in household expenses. You can hire a nanny and a cook to prepare meals, just like my sister-in-law's family. Now that I'm unmarried, I live a rough life. One person feeds the whole family; we can eat a meal anywhere. This won't be the case after we get married, don't worry."
"The money I earn is enough for our living expenses, and there's even a lot left over. When you have a holiday, I can arrange some time to go out with you or take you on trips. We're not as busy as my sister-in-law, so we should have a lot more time. What do you think?"
