Eating melons

Seeing that Liu Jiaojiao didn't ask any more questions, Hu Yunxi quickly changed the subject.

She was afraid that if Liu Jiaojiao continued to ask, and she didn't say yes, Liu Jiaojiao would really become afraid of marriage and having children.

"From what you just described, it seems you've made quite a few good friends in the countryside. Are you adapting well there?"

Seeing her mother trying to change the subject, Liu Jiaojiao knew what was going on.

Since her mother didn't want her to know, she just pretended not to know.

So she immediately told Hu Yunxi in vivid detail about the friends she made in the Red Star Brigade.

The Liu family was very lively, with constant chattering, but the Yu family was much quieter.

Yu Xi and his father Yu Shun have very similar personalities. Neither of them is the type to talk a lot, and one could even describe them as very strict.

As soon as Yu Xi got home, he chatted with his mother for a few words, waited for his father to come back and said hello, and then didn't say anything else.

Otherwise, Yu Xi would answer whatever Dai Yuehui and Yu Shun asked, and his answers sounded like he was reporting on work, completely lacking the liveliness and excitement of Liu Jiaojiao's.

This is normal because Yu Xi is an only child, so his family has stricter requirements for him.

Liu Jiaojiao is not an only child. As the only daughter in the family, she has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. Naturally, her personality is different and she is much more lively.

Although Dai Yuehui and Yu Shun cared about their son, they also knew his temperament and did not ask too many questions.

I just asked about his life in the countryside and how he was adapting. Knowing that he knew he was living well there, I didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Shun is very confident in his son because he knows that his son is very outstanding. From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing he is dissatisfied with about his son, and his adaptability is also very good.

As for Dai Yuehui, it was enough for him to know that his son was living well in the countryside. Everything else was not important.

As for other things he wanted to know, it was a bit tiring for his son to ask, as if a subordinate was reporting to her. It would be better to ask Liu Jiaojiao tomorrow.

Liu Jiaojiao's answer was like telling a story, which was much more comfortable and exciting than asking her own son.

However, Dai Yuehui and Yu Shun were still quite surprised at their son's prosperous life in the countryside and the situation of Red Star and the Red Star Brigade.

They originally thought that Yu Xi would complain a little about the discomfort and hardship of living in the countryside when he came back, but they didn't expect him to adapt so well.

Yu Shun also told Yu Xi that he might not be able to get him back next year.

Yu Xi had no opinion on this, nor was he anxious or worried.

He is his father's only son. Given his father's high expectations for him, it is impossible for him to just leave him in the countryside to fend for himself, so he will let him come back no matter if he comes back early or late.

And his father will do his best to get him back as soon as possible.

Therefore, I am not worried at all about the fact that Yu Xi is different from others.

If he had other brothers, no matter how much his parents loved him, he would want to come back as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, and accidents will occur over time.

But he has no other brothers or sisters, he is the only one in his family.

Being an only child and being loved and valued by his parents are his confidence, and he will never be abandoned by his parents.

"It's okay. It's the same in the countryside. I'm living a pretty good life in the Red Star Brigade. It's no worse than at home."

What Yu Xi didn't say was that he felt life in the Red Star Brigade was easier than life at home.

In the countryside, at least you can do whatever you want, without so many rules and requirements.

The most important thing is to have a group of like-minded people, so that we can get along with each other without any conflicts and feel comfortable.

So he didn't have much expectation of coming back.

However, Dai Yuehui was concerned about another matter. She could see the changes in her son.

"Son, I saw your expression towards Jiaojiao was different just now. What's going on? You'll get it next time we go to the countryside."

No matter how calm Yu Xi was, he would get a little nervous when his mother teased him like that.

It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother. Dai Yuehui naturally saw the changes in Yu Xi and naturally noticed the red tips of his ears.

So she continued teasing and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want mom to help you propose marriage so that you two can settle down sooner?"

At this time, Yu Shun naturally saw the changes in his son and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yu Xi would become more enlightened on this next trip. This was really a pleasant surprise.

To be honest, he also likes his daughter-in-law Liu Jiaojiao. The two families are well-matched and know each other well. Besides, Liu Jiaojiao is not bad in every way except that she is a little spoiled.

But before this, the son treated Liu Jiaojiao like a younger sister and was not at all enlightened.

They are still a little upset about this and hope that their son will come to his senses sooner.

Of course, it would be best if Liu Jiaojiao was the one who had this realization. If someone else did, and they ended up with a daughter-in-law who was a troublesome one, they would both be vomiting blood.

You have to know that they have very high expectations for Xi, so they are naturally more strict in choosing a daughter-in-law.

As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous wife. If you marry a daughter-in-law who is troublesome, there will be no peace in the family.

If you marry someone with a questionable background, your whole family might be implicated, and you might not even know how they were killed.

So when they saw that Yu Xi had become interested in Liu Jiaojiao, Dai Yuehui and Yu Shun were naturally very happy and very pleased to see it happen.

Therefore, seeing that there were signs of trouble, Dai Yuehui and Yu Shun both wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Yu Xi thought about the engagement and didn't have any bad thoughts, so he nodded.

"Sure, that way it will be more convenient for me to take care of her in the countryside, and there will be less gossip."

After Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's repeated instructions, he also knew the importance of reputation for girls in the countryside.

Seeing that Yu Xi agreed, Dai Yuehui was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"Okay, I'll talk to your Aunt Hu in a couple of days. It would be best if you can settle it this year.

You should also prepare the betrothal gifts. Now that it’s decided, the wedding date should also be put on the agenda.”

Speaking of marriage, Yu Xi had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that things would not be as his mother expected.

The main reason was that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin’s desire to get married was too strong, which made him feel too deeply.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi refused to give in, and Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin tried everything but to no avail.

Now, regarding the marriage, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin did not show anything in front of Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and the others, but in private they were almost turning into demons, and their resentment was even heavier than that of ghosts.

Seeing how Liu Jiaojiao was infatuated with Wei Wei, and how she seemed to learn whatever Wei Wei and Jiang Qi did, Yu Xi felt that marrying Liu Jiaojiao would not go so smoothly.

Another thing is that after getting married, you will definitely have to have children. Seeing how scared Liu Jiaojiao was when Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, you can tell how difficult it is.

Not to mention that Liu Jiaojiao also witnessed a woman giving birth.

When a family in the team gave birth to a baby, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei didn't believe it and secretly went to see it, but they were quickly sent back.

But Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei were still frightened, their faces turned as pale as ghosts.

So it is still a bit difficult for Liu Jiaojiao to get married.

But seeing how happy his parents were, Yu Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, and didn't know whether he should pour cold water on them.

Dai Yuehui was so excited that he didn't see Yu Xi's hesitation, but Yu Shun saw it and asked about it.

"What's going on? Is there a problem?"

Yu Shun never thought about whether Xi had such irresponsible thoughts. After all, he still believed in his son's character.

So Yu Shun felt that there must be some problem, not that Yu Xi didn't want to get married.

Hearing Yu Shun's words, Dai Yuehui also looked over and found something wrong.

"What's going on here?"

"Let's talk about marriage first after asking Jiaojiao. I don't think she wants to get married so early."

Dai Yuehui thought it was something important, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

She didn't think that Liu Jiaojiao would refuse to get married. After all, she had seen Liu Jiaojiao following Yu Xi before, and Hu Yunxi had complained to her about this many times.
