Mr. He patted the back of Chu Jingqiu's hand and said kindly, "Xiaoqiu, your birthday is December 6th, and your wedding date is December 23rd, the sixth day of the eleventh lunar month.
You'll become an adult when you get married, but no matter how old a child is, he or she will always be a child in the eyes of their parents and elders. As long as you and Yihan are happy, Grandpa will be content."
Chu Jingqiu was moved and hugged Grandpa He, "Grandpa, you are so good to me!"
Chu Jingqiu and Mr. He chatted for a while, and then Mr. He left the space with the empty bowl.
From the next day, Chu Jingqiu was busy with the formalities, packing his things and preparing to return to Beijing.
The educated youth in the Youth House gradually knew that Chu Jingqiu was going back to the city. Everyone envied her, and of course some were jealous.
After dinner on the third night, Chu Jingqiu was planning to walk the dog by the river and had just changed his clothes.
Tong Yujuan came to Chu Jingqiu's room. She looked up and down at the furnishings in the room and nodded with satisfaction.
"Chu Zhiqing, I heard you were going back to the city, so I came to chat with you. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see you in the future."
Chu Jingqiu politely asked her to sit down. "Tong Zhiqing, you are a rare guest! Bei Province is not far from Beijing City. If you miss me, you can come to Beijing City to visit me."
Tong Yujuan smiled, but it was obviously very stiff. "Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."
After saying that, he looked around again and said, "Chu Zhiqing, can you take away things like the cabinets in your room?"
Chu Jingqiu guessed what she was going to do from the look in her eyes as soon as she entered the room.
She said calmly, "Yes! These kang cabinets, curtains, and the small wardrobe were all custom-made by me according to the size of this room.
Not only is it inconvenient to take it with you, but it's also not very useful, so I won't take it with me."
Tong Yujuan immediately smiled, "Chu Zhiqing, I want to move into this room after you leave.
Since you can't take away your bedside table, small kang table, curtains, washstand and other things, can you give them to me?
I still haven’t had time to buy a lot of things, and since I’m from here, I can use them when I move back home.”
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Tong Zhiqing, I spent a lot of money on all these things in this room. Even though they're only a year old, they're still at least 80% new. If you want them, how much are you willing to pay?"
Tong Yujuan glanced at Chu Jingqiu in disbelief and said in surprise, "You can't take these things with you anyway. We're all educated youth. Does this...does this cost money?"
Chu Jingqiu didn't answer her directly. She smiled and said jokingly, "Tong Zhiqing, let me tell you a joke!
A monkey died and came to the underworld. It begged the King of Hell to let it be reincarnated as a human in its next life.
The King of Hell disagreed at first, but later, unable to resist its pleading, he reluctantly agreed.
The King of Hell told it that if it wanted to be reincarnated from an animal into a human, it must pluck out all the hair on its body.
The monkey agreed, but when the ghost officer grabbed its hair and had not yet pulled it out, the monkey howled like a ghost to prevent the ghost officer from pulling it out.
The King of Hell sneered and said, "You are so stingy and yet you still want to be a human being! Just continue to be the beast you are!"
Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong both understood that this was a satire on Tong Yujuan and laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
Lin Zishan rolled her eyes at Tong Yujuan and said, "Tong Zhiqing, other people's things didn't come from the wind. You're just asking for them with just a few words. How dare you say that?"
"That's right. Your family is not poor, so why do you like to take advantage of others?" Shi Aihong said sarcastically.
Chu Jingqiu glanced at Tong Yujuan's flushed face and said, "Excuse me, Tong Zhiqing, I was just joking with you.
Yuan Zhiqing agreed with me yesterday that she would give me some compensation, and after I moved out, she would move in, and all these things inside would be left to her!"
Tong Yujuan curled her lips and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? She acted quite quickly. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything.
To be honest, we are quite envious of you for returning to the city so quickly."
At this point, his face suddenly turned red, and he asked embarrassedly: "Chu Zhiqing, can I ask you for a favor?"
Chu Jingqiu asked in confusion, "Tong Zhiqing, what do you want me to do for you?"
Tong Yujuan coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and whispered, "I have admired soldiers since I was a child. I heard that your boyfriend is a regimental commander in the army.
When you return to the city, can you... also help me find a partner in the army? My requirements are not high, as long as she wears four pockets."
Shi Aihong and Lin Zishan were completely shocked by Tong Yujuan's shamelessness. They looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Chu Jingqiu.
Chu Jingqiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Tong Zhiqing, let me ask you a question. If you can answer it, I might consider introducing you to someone."
Tong Yujuan's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Go ahead and ask! If I can answer, you must recommend a good one to me."
"Do you know what the hardest part of the human body is?" Chu Jingqiu asked jokingly.
Tong Yujuan thought for a moment and said loudly, "Of course it's bones. Isn't that what hard bones mean?"
She looked at Chu Jingqiu complacently, "Isn't that right? Chu Zhiqing?"
Chu Jingqiu shook his head. Tong Yujuan looked at Chu Jingqiu suspiciously. "It can't be teeth. Teeth can bite so many hard things."
Chu Jingqiu shook his head again. "You're wrong. Let me tell you, the hardest part of a person's body is their beard. Just think about it! Even with such a thick skin, it can still get through, right, Tong Zhiqing? Haha..."
