Yu Shu's head was a little dizzy and her thoughts were complicated. She just nodded casually, smiled at He and her mother, and then returned to the house.
Yu Shu had just returned from picking fruits with Yu Dongdong, with a blush on her face that could easily make people think she was shy before she left.
"Your daughter is really transformed, she looks so handsome now!"
He's mother held Yu's mother's hand and talked affectionately. After seeing Yu Shu, she felt that if her daughter-in-law didn't marry her back home, it would be more painful for her than losing a pig.
Furthermore, looking at the way He Qing took the initiative to talk to the girl, if he continued to talk nonsense about breaking off the engagement, there would be no way he could keep his blind son.
Yu's mother was proud of the family's change of attitude, but her daughter's marriage still had to be something she was willing to do. If Yu Shu didn't want it, it wouldn't happen.
"Comrade He is also very talented. He looks like a leader." Mother Yu politely praised He Qing to each other.
Father Yu snorted from his nose and asked He Qing, "Comrade He hasn't finished speaking just now. Do you want to continue to talk about whether you want to break off the engagement? We have agreed to this."
"It's really wrong for you two to get engaged without even meeting each other. It's better to back off. Comrade He can go find a girl he likes, and he doesn't have to stay out for more than a year without a letter coming back."
This incident clearly mocked He Qing. He's mother glanced at him sideways and sighed secretly. This girl's family had been offended, and the marriage might be a bit in doubt.
He Qing's expression remained calm, as if he didn't come to the Yu family just to break off the engagement.
"Uncle Yu misunderstood. I came here to propose marriage. As for not coming back that year, it was because the army couldn't leave. If it weren't for my injured leg, I might not be able to come back until the end of the year." He Qing said with a gloomy expression. , seeing Father Yu putting his eyes on his lap, he flashed regret and continued.
"My leg has been treated in the army hospital. It's much better now. I can do ordinary work. You don't have to worry. So, do you think which day is more suitable for the ceremony and wedding? I'll ask the matchmaker to come over. "
The topic suddenly turned to ceremony and marriage, and Yu's father looked at He Qing suspiciously, wondering if he was letting this go to let him relax his grudge against him.
"It's too early to talk about these things. Now is the new era. Don't rely on your parents' orders. It's better to ask Shushu first." Father Yu, who regretted having brought this marriage to his daughter, learned from the experience.
He Qing recited the name silently in his heart, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Uncle said yes, can I talk to Comrade Yu?"
The two of them were in such a situation that it was impossible not to meet each other. Father Yu paused and asked Sister Yu to call Yu Shu over.
When Yu Shu came over, He's mother fought for a chance for her son.
"It's not comfortable for two children to sit here with us. How about we let them talk on their own?"
Mother Yu thought that there were people everywhere in this brigade, and He Qing thought there was no chance of doing anything bad, so he nodded.
"Shu Shu took Comrade He around the brigade, and took Yu Dongdong with her as well, so that the child wouldn't have to run around outside without having a clean place when he came back."
After Yu's father whispered instructions into his ear, he held his tongue and accepted the reputation of being unclean for the sake of her aunt's happiness. She glanced at He Qing, took Yu Shu's hand and walked out.
He Qing seemed to accept the addition of a small light bulb and didn't react much. He just smiled and looked at the big one and the small one in front of him.
But after seeing the man hanging clothes in the yard, his eyes moved slightly.
"Comrade Yu, who is this?"
Yu Shu turned around, followed He Qing's gaze and met Shen Mu's eyes, and looked away with an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
"This is Shen Mu, an educated youth from the brigade."
"Educated youth." He Qing said this in a very soft voice, but Shen Mu could feel his hidden displeasure and fear.
