When Fang Damiao returned from delivering goods, he saw Yu Jihong in the store and immediately grinned, greeting her warmly, "Jihong, you're here too! I heard Fang Yu is working at the kindergarten in the county town?"
Yu Jihong smiled at him and said, "Yes."
"How come time flies? It feels like I just sent them to kindergarten to register, and now they're already 18. I, Dongqiang, went to university, and you, Fangyu, have already started working."
Fang Damiao seemed to have a lot to say, so he came over and stood next to her to chat. "I haven't seen your Fang Yu for a long time. She must be a big girl now. She was beautiful when she was little. My Dongqiang is also a big boy now. He's even taller than me."
“I’ve met Dong Qiang before; he’s a very good-looking young man,” Yu Jihong said.
“She and Fang Yu are old classmates, they should meet up during the holidays,” Fang Damiao immediately chimed in.
"Brother, Xin Kang has packed up a lot of Lao Qi's goods at the warehouse. Why don't you go take a look and see if you want to go with him to deliver them?" Fang Meili interjected.
"Okay, I'll go check. Fang Yu is in the city. Tell her to come to us if she needs anything. We're all from the same village. She and Dong Qiang grew up together and are good friends." Fang Damiao said a few more words to Yu Jihong before leaving.
“Okay, okay, you’re busy,” Yu Jihong replied.
Fang Damiao went to the warehouse. "My brother-in-law... this person..." Fang Meili felt that Fang Damiao had been a bit too enthusiastic just now and wanted to explain something.
"Oh, he's very helpful." Yu Jihong stood up. "Meili, I need to tidy up the room, so I'll be leaving now."
“Okay, come and play. My Tingting is so happy to know that Fang Yu is working in the county. When she was little, Fang Yu took care of her at my parents’ house. She likes to be with Fang Yu.”
"Yes. I'll invite them to hang out together this weekend if I have time."
After Yu Jihong left the shop, Fang Meili sat there, chin in hand, lost in thought. Fang Damiao had been so enthusiastic towards her. Was it because of Tingting's words, that Fang Damiao thought Fang Yu might be his future daughter-in-law? Or was it Fang Damiao's affection for Yu Jihong? Yu Jihong was alone now; Fang Damiao shouldn't have any designs on her. It takes two to tango, and Yu Jihong wasn't that kind of person.
Fang Damiao returned from the warehouse. "Xin Kang said he could deliver it himself. Has Ji Hong left?"
"Yes, she went back." Fang Meili thought for a moment and said, "I asked Dongqiang, and he said that he and Fang Yu didn't study together in junior high and high school, so they don't know each other very well. Besides, they won't be together for the next few years. In addition, they are still a bit young. Dongqiang still has four years of schooling. Let's not talk about them anymore, otherwise, it will make Fang Yu feel embarrassed."
“Oh, Fang Yu, we’ve watched her grow up since she was little, that’s good.” Fang Damiao said somewhat unwillingly.
"It's quite nice, I like her too, let them take their course."
Fang Damiao frowned and rubbed his nose with the back of his hand. "Fang Yu has already entered the workforce. If she has a boyfriend in the next few years, Dong Qiang will have no chance."
"Dongqiang also has female classmates at school. Maybe Dongqiang is dating someone at school."
"That's right. If Dongqiang is dating any female classmate at school, then there's no chance for her and Fang Yu to get together."
Fang Meili looked up at Fang Damiao, "What? You just want Dongqiang to marry Fang Yu in the future, and you want Fang Yu to be your daughter-in-law?"
"Yes." Fang Damiao nodded affirmatively.
"Why?" Fang Meili's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously.
"Mother also said that Jihong always speaks nicely to Meixiang, and Meixiang smiles whenever she sees her, which makes her happy. Apart from our own family, who else is so polite to Meixiang? When Fangyu comes over, she calls Meixiang 'Auntie,' and Dongqiang calls her 'Mom,' which is very polite. What child would respect Meixiang like Fangyu? We've watched Fangyu grow up since she was little, we know her inside and out, this child is good. If Dongqiang marries her, Meixiang will be blessed in the future."
"That's true." Fang Meili nodded, agreeing with Fang Damiao. "Is that really the reason?"
"Of course, what do you think is my reason? You'll get old too, and so will I. Whether Dongqiang and his wife treat Meixiang well or not, isn't that important?" Fang Damiao stretched his neck and said.
"That's true, but when it comes to matters of the heart, it depends on their own fate. Does Fang Yu like Dong Qiang? Does Dong Qiang like Fang Yu? I asked Dong Qiang, and it seems he doesn't have those feelings right now."
“You and Xin Kang were introduced by a matchmaker, and you got to know each other after you started dating. Look, you two are so good together now. Relationships need to be cultivated slowly over time.” Fang Damiao thought for a moment, then walked to the phone. “I’ll make a call back and tell Dong Qiang to come back early so he can ask Fang Yu out. He’ll be going to school in a few days, and they’ll be back to see each other for the New Year.”
"Look how anxious you are. It's already arranged. Come the day after tomorrow. Xinkang will deliver the goods and bring all the kids back with him."
"Oh!" Fang Damiao put down the receiver he had picked up and put it back.
