Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

"What's the matter, kid? At my age, it's inappropriate for an old man to say that you are my grandson." Old Geng narrowed his eyes, with a mischievous smile on his lips.

Chen Feng coughed lightly twice, shook his head, and said helplessly: "You are right, old man, everything you said is right, how dare I have any objection."

Director Xu stood aside, frowning slightly. This seemingly joking conversation did not reduce the doubts in his heart in the slightest.

His eyes moved back and forth between Old Geng and Chen Feng, and he thought to himself: This old man has such status and position, how could he say anything casually?

Moreover, the conversation between Mr. Geng and Chen Feng was casual yet intimate.

In a family like theirs, even between grandparents and grandchildren, such a relationship may not exist.

There must be some unusual story behind this.

"Hey, kid, why are you here with Xiao Xu?" asked Old Geng.

Before Chen Feng could answer, Director Xu quickly took over and told him the whole story of how Chen Feng rescued his daughter Xu Xue.

Mr. Geng listened with great interest, his eyes lighting up as if he had heard some interesting gossip.

"Oh? Xiaoxue isn't engaged yet, right?" After hearing this, Mr. Geng asked Director Xu with a smile.

"Our Xiaoxue is very simple and has never been in love." Director Xu said with a hint of pampering in his tone.

When Old Geng heard this, he was even more delighted: "That's great, how about this, I, the old man, make the decision and let these two children get engaged?"

As soon as these words came out, the air froze instantly.

Director Xu was stunned, and so was Chen Feng.

This sudden sentence was like a meteorite falling from the sky, catching everyone off guard.

"Old man, you..." Director Xu hesitated to speak, obviously thrown off balance by this sudden change.

Old Geng, however, didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, "Don't be so fussy. I think these two kids are a good match. How about we make it a closer relationship?"

Chen Feng was beside him, neither knowing whether to laugh or cry. This old man's words were really shocking and caught people off guard. "Old man, can you please stop making trouble?"

The old man waved his hand and scolded, "The elders are talking here, why are you butting in? Eat your meal and be quiet for a while."

After saying that, he turned to Xu Xue and said with a smile, "Xiaoxue girl, go give this kid some more food to keep his mouth busy so he won't have time to mess around!"

"Oh oh." Xu Xue was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. Holding the bowl of rice in her hand, she walked towards the kitchen briskly but a little dazed, as if a deer was running around in her heart.

The old man's words just now were like when she was a child buying candy and accidentally pulled out a rare card that she had always dreamed of from the candy box. The surprise, mixed with a bit of uneasiness, made her feel mixed emotions.

The old man looked at the way Xu Xue walked and nodded secretly in his heart. This girl was not only pretty, but also had a figure that looked like she could bear children. She was indeed a suitable wife for his grandson to carry on the family line.

At this time, Director Xu spoke tentatively: "Mr. Geng, you were not teasing me when you said that just now, were you?"

Old Geng raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice, "In my life, I have been subject to military orders. How can I have the time to joke with you young people? How about it, can you give me a straight answer?"

At this point, Mr. Geng paused and added, "Your father is about to retire, but don't worry, I think he can make further progress."

As soon as these words came out, Director Xu, also known as Xu Xiaoyan, stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, looking at Mr. Geng in disbelief: "Old man, what are you doing...?"

Seeing this, Mr. Geng's face darkened slightly. "Why are you banging the table? Do you take this seriously? I've already said this, how can I lie? If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it. Don't waste your time!"

"Great, that's great!" Xu Xiaoyan was so excited that he almost couldn't control his voice.

He knew in his heart that his father's current position was crucial, but age was not forgiving and he was about to retire, so the influence of the Xu family was bound to be greatly reduced.

If he wants to go further, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. After all, there is only one job for each carrot, and now there are more carrots than jobs. With his father's current conditions, it is almost impossible for him to occupy a higher job!

Now that Mr. Geng has put forward such a condition, exchanging his father's future for Xu Xue's engagement with Geng's grandson, it is simply a pie in the sky for the Xu family.

Not only can he keep his father's position, but he can also marry into the family of Mr. Geng, which is equivalent to adding a solid backing to the Xu family.

The fact that Mr. Geng could do so much for this kid shows that he holds a position in Mr. Geng's heart that is better than his own grandson, if not his biological grandson.

Xu Xiaoyan thought to himself that this marriage must be facilitated no matter what.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "I haven't really considered getting married yet..."

He just came here to have a casual meal this time, as a way to settle the past karma with Director Xu's family.

But he's not here to eat his daughter!

Besides, Ning Yao is living in his house now, and he hasn't told his mother about this. How could he agree to get engaged to Xu Xue so easily?

When Director Xu heard his refusal, his face suddenly darkened and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mr. Geng's laughter.

"Haha, let's settle it first. It doesn't mean we have to get married right away. Who knows what will happen in the future? Let's just settle this matter first for good luck." Old Geng said with a smile, looking confident.

Chen Feng looked at Mr. Geng, then at Director Xu, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Geng with a wave of his hand.

"Have you finished eating? Get out of here right away. I came to see Xiao Xu today for something and don't have time to waste with you. If you have anything to ask, come to my place later." Old Geng spoke directly and left no room for questioning.

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and had to get up and prepare to leave.

At this time, Geng Lao looked at Xu Xue again and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue girl, go see Chen Feng off. Young people should interact more. It's boring to be with us old guys. You should go out and play."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xue nodded quickly and excitedly followed Chen Feng out of the room.

Seeing Chen Feng leave, Director Xu could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked Mr. Geng about it.

"Mr. Geng, you said Chen Feng is your grandson. Is that true?"

Old Geng sighed softly, a complex expression flashing across his eyes. "He is my grandson who has been living away from home. His mother is my daughter. They are the only two relatives I have left in this world."

Director Xu was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected Chen Feng to have such a background. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why has he never appeared before? How did you find him?"

Elder Geng shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy. "It's hard to describe the twists and turns involved. Anyway, now that he's back, I can finally feel a sense of hope."
