Chapter 181 Shen Ci

"Alright, honey, don't be angry! It's already quite good that he sent this letter to let us know. After all, you know how stubborn our son is."

Dai Zhan, looking helpless, comforted his wife Liang Xinyun, who was stomping her feet in anger.

Meanwhile, Dai Xingyu, who had been eavesdropping nearby, saw that the situation was not good. She quickly tiptoed and quietly ran back to the kitchen, secretly praying that she would not be used as a punching bag by her mother, who was in a fit of anger!

Just then, Grandpa Dai, who had been silent all along, finally spoke slowly: "Xingyun, this child, has never been in good health since he was a child, but he has his own ideas and thoughts."

"He sent you this letter specifically to give you a heads-up."

"No matter what kind of girl she is, once he's made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back! We just need to treat the girl he brings back as family."

After hearing her father-in-law's words, Liang Xinyun, who was originally angry and about to continue complaining, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and could no longer utter a single word.

She had to admit that her father-in-law was absolutely right.

After a moment, Liang Xinyun, having calmed down a bit, couldn't help but mutter, "Then... then are we just going to let it go like this? What if he misjudges people and brings back a troublemaker?"

His words revealed obvious concern.

"Are you looking down on country folk? I, an old man, also came from the countryside!"

Grandpa Dai was so angry that he glared and roared.

Hearing her father's reprimand, Liang Xinyun hurriedly explained, "Dad, I really didn't mean that! It's just that I've grown up and found someone."

"But he wouldn't tell us any specifics about the girl. I got so anxious that I started talking without thinking, and I'm a bit incoherent. Please don't be angry!"

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's anxious expression, Grandpa Dai's face softened slightly, but he still said sternly, "Alright, stop saying these useless things."

"Hurry up and get ready. Keep all the tickets you have. Let's go buy some things and send them to Xingyun. Things are tough in the countryside, so we probably won't be able to buy anything good."

After saying that, he sighed softly, his eyes revealing his love for his grandson.

So the family got busy. Everyone rummaged through drawers and cabinets, taking out all the grain coupons, cloth coupons, and other ration coupons they had accumulated and gathering them together.

Then, he borrowed various tickets from his neighbors, and after some trouble, he finally managed to gather enough tickets.

They rushed to the market with great excitement, carefully selecting all sorts of items, pastries, clothes, and various daily necessities, filling a large bag to the brim.

Finally, the package was carefully packed and sent to the village where Dai Xingyun lived.

At this moment, Dai Xingyun, far away from home, was completely unaware of everything that was happening back home.

At this moment, the sun shines intensely on the fields, and Dai Xingyun is working diligently with his back bent.

Suddenly, his vision was blocked by a figure, and the light instantly dimmed.

He slowly straightened up, looked up, and saw a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old staring at him with a look of infatuation.

Dai Xingyun frowned slightly and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Comrade, please move aside, you are blocking my way."

However, the girl seemed to ignore his words and remained standing straight in place, without moving an inch.

Her gaze never left Dai Xingyun's face, as if she was gathering some kind of courage deep within her heart.

Time passed by, and all around was quiet, with only the gentle breeze rustling through the rice paddies.

The surrounding villagers were all working hard, and no one was looking this way.

Finally, the girl took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly opened her mouth, saying in a slightly shy but firm voice, "Dai Zhiqing, what do you think... how about we date?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun took several steps back.

He waved his hand and replied firmly, "Comrade, I'm really sorry, I don't know you! I don't even know your name, let alone have any interest in dating you."

Faced with Dai Xingyun's direct rejection, the girl was not discouraged. Instead, she straightened her chest, raised her chin, and proudly introduced herself.
