Xu Zhengrong also tossed and turned all night without sleeping. His daughter was going to get married. Although Wan Hexing was a good man and the one he liked, he couldn't help feeling sad that the cabbage he had raised for twenty years was eaten by a pig.
Unable to sleep, he simply got up early and prepared to go to the pig farm to take a look. As a result, when he opened the door, Wan Hexing was standing at the door with a bicycle next to him and a radio on it. When he saw Xu Zhengrong, he immediately greeted him, "Uncle Xu, good morning. I'm here to propose marriage."
Xu Zhengrong now looked at him with some displeasure, his eyes not eyes, his nose not nose: "What are you doing so early? You are disturbing my sweet sleep. Jiajia hasn't woken up yet. Put the things in the yard and follow me to the pig farm."
Seeing that the village chief looked haggard, Wan Hexing did not dare to refute. He quickly pushed his bicycle into the yard and followed Xu Zhengrong to the pig farm.
Xu Zhengrong seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him. He ignored him all morning, but at the same time, he didn't want him to run away. He had to keep him under his nose. He was supposed to walk around for half an hour every day, but today he walked around for more than three hours.
Xiang Qian also felt something was wrong: "Village Chief, what do you have to do today? You have seen everything you can see and asked everything you can ask. Now the only thing left is the account book. Do you want to see it?"
Xu Zhengrong snorted, "How can I understand this? It's all up to Accountant Zheng and Wang Xu. It's okay, don't follow me. I know you think I'm in the way. I'm leaving now."
He stepped forward and said, "Be careful on your way back. We will be disinfecting and cleaning soon. It will be inconvenient for you."
After Xu Zhengrong went to the pig farm, he wanted to go to the neighborhood committee. He happened to meet Xu Jiajia on the way: "Dad, Hexing, where did you go this morning?"
Wan Hexing was delighted when he saw Xu Jiajia: "Jiajia, I accompanied our dad to the pig farm this morning. We just finished and were about to go back. Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"
Xu Zhengrong couldn't bear to watch, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched: "Be more elegant outside, why are you being so affectionate? Go back quickly."
Xu Jiajia knew at a glance that Xu Zhengrong was upset, and smiled and took his old father's arm: "My dear father, I'm just proposing a marriage, not getting married right away. Besides, we are from the same village, why are you upset? It's not like you won't go home."
Xu Zhengrong had been humming all morning, and now he hummed again: "We are in the same village now. Later, Wang Xu will go to Shanghai to develop his career. Are these two followers going to follow him? What university are you going to take? Are you going to go to Shanghai? I originally wanted to marry someone from the village so that I could take care of him, but now, they are so far away from me."
Xu Jiajia looked at his father's annoyance with amusement. He was really a child. "I'm not sure where I'll go now. Do you think it's easy to get into university? I can go wherever I want. It depends on whether the school will accept me. I have to plan things one step at a time."
Wan Hexing finally understood what the village chief had been fussing about that morning: "Uncle Xu, wherever Jiajia goes, I will go there to accompany him. There will definitely be a room for you at home. If you miss her, you can come and stay with her for a while anytime."
Xu Zhengrong couldn't refute what he said, but he was still thinking about his daughter, so he felt relieved. "You should keep your word. I promised you this because you are honest. You can't play tricks on me. You can't let Jiajia down in the future."
Xu Jiajia did not interrupt, knowing that her father was doing this for her own good and that he cared about her. As long as she could make her father feel at ease, that would be enough.
Wan Hexing was also very obedient. As long as he could get a wife, he would nod his head to anything.
Xu Jiajia ignored them and walked behind the two of them. When she saw Wang Xu picking up Gu Xi from get off work at noon, holding hands and talking and laughing, she quickly called out, "Gu Xi."
Gu Xi turned around and saw Xu Jiajia, Xu Zhengrong, and Wan Hexing. She couldn't help gossiping, so she shook off Wang Xu's hand and walked over: "How is it? Is it going well? Should I congratulate you?"
Xu Jiajia was a little shy when she asked him so bluntly: "Not yet, my dad took Hexing to the pig farm this morning and just got ready to go back. He is now lecturing."
When Wan Hexing saw Gu Xi, he remembered the quarrel between the two of them yesterday and scratched his head: "Gu Zhiqing, Brother Xu."
Gu Xi couldn't help but tease: "If you could have the momentum of knocking on the door last night, you would have won your wife. You don't know that he was so nervous that he didn't sleep all night last night. He knocked on the door three times and asked Wang Xu what he should prepare for the marriage proposal. He attaches great importance to you."
Wan Hexing was embarrassed again and looked at Wang Xu for help. Wang Xu hugged Gu Xi and said, "Don't make trouble for others. Go back to eat and have a sleep after eating. Didn't you say you didn't sleep well because of the noise?"
Gu Xi didn't keep the gossip going and waved to the three people: "Uncle Xu, I'm going back first. Jiajia will wait for your good news."
On the way back, Gu Xi wanted to laugh when she thought of Xu Zhengrong's expression: "Uncle Xu's expression was really funny. He looked at Wan Hexing with an expression of displeasure. He was not like this before. It turns out that all parents who dote on their daughters are like this.
I can imagine that my parents must have disliked you at first. You are not as honest as Wan Hexing, and you look so ferocious. "
Wang Xu looked at her mischievous appearance lovingly: "Our mother likes me very much. After all, I am handsome and strong. I can help you with work and protect you. It is better than anything else."
Gu Xi wrinkled her nose: "Okay, okay, you are right. Anyway, I am completely conquered by you now. As soon as you returned to Shanghai, my mother took care of you like her own son. Your status in the family directly surpassed Gu Chao, which seriously made my father feel a sense of crisis."
Wang Xu pinched her face amusedly: "Our dad is Xiong Jing, I'm giving in to him."
When Wan Hexing arrived at Xu's house, he became even more nervous. He sat in his seat, rubbing his trouser legs with his fingers, and felt his legs going weak.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, I came here today to ask for your consent to my marrying Jiajia. I brought a bicycle, a radio, and I also bought her a watch. I haven't bought a sewing machine yet because Gu Zhiqing said it's something for work. Jiajia doesn't need to work at home, so I can do all the work.
I also brought my savings book. There is not much money now, so I left half of it for Wanxi's dowry. But I will definitely work harder to make money in the future, and I will hand over all my money. Brother Xu has asked me to learn how to drive. If Jiajia is admitted to university, Gu Zhiqing said she may have to live on campus, so I will drive from Monday to Friday and take her home to take care of her on weekends. "
Xu Zhengrong took the passbook and took a look at it. Wow, there was still more than 2,000 yuan in it. He couldn't help but look at Wan Hexing again: "You guys made a lot of money before. You made the mountain bald."
When Wan Hexing talked about this, he couldn't help but retort: "It's none of our business if the mountains are bald. We don't pick them."
Seeing that he was tight-lipped, Xu Zhengrong stopped talking and asked about Wang Xu's plan to get rich: "What are your plans for the future, Wang Xu?"
Wan Hexing was not stupid in this regard. He picked out what Wang Xu had told him and said, "I'm still looking for a way in Shanghai. The personnel are complicated. Fortunately, there is an old friend from my grandfather's generation who can help me. There are not so many obstacles at the beginning. There is no progress in other aspects.
This year, I will still help train the staff at the pig farm. After two years of operation in Shanghai, when the pig farm is stable, Brother Xu will return the farm to the village. If it is not stable, you can find Xiang Qian and negotiate the salary between yourselves. "
Xu Zhengrong didn't hear anything he wanted to hear, but he felt somewhat reassured that the planning of the pig farm could be guaranteed.
Wan Hexing added: "Brother Xu said that he will still help the village with planning in the future and will not ignore it. Yin Jie will also stay in the village. Grandma Yin is still here, and he doesn't want to leave."
Xu Zhengrong was somewhat touched: "You all have plans, and the plans are quite thorough, more reliable than an old man like me. I didn't expect that Yin Jie, who was the thickest and most unreliable, would choose to stay for the sake of his family."
