He Shenxian, who was already on the road, had only Xie Qingyu walking beside him in his mind, but he had no idea what Secretary Xie was thinking.
The fact that Xie Qingyu came out to see him off meant that he now had a legitimate identity.
Xie Qingyu was unaware that He Shen's visit not only resolved their relationship but also finalized their marriage plans.
However, there is no such thing as dating nowadays; at most, people date for a period of time.
Before the autumn harvest, their relationship could probably be described as dating.
The two of them tacitly avoided taking the main road in the village and instead took a side path.
Halfway there, He Shen suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Qingyu's hand.
"Is it okay now?" He Shen asked.
"Can what?" Xie Qingyu didn't react for a moment.
He Shen raised their clasped hands and asked, "May I hold your hand now?"
Xie Qingyu immediately understood that he was referring to the time after the phone call when he wouldn't let her hold his hand. "What if I said no?"
"That won't do either." He Shen stopped, but instead of letting go, he stepped forward to hug her.
Summer clothes are thin, and before Xie Qingyu could react, He Shen, who had just hugged her, immediately let go. If you looked closely, you could see that his earlobes were still a little red.
If it had gone on any longer, he probably would have had some difficulty walking.
The hug was so short that Xie Qingyu didn't even have time to stop it before it was over.
"The timing isn't ideal; we'll have to wait a while longer." He Shen tried to change the subject, shifting his attention away from the softness he had just felt.
But it was hard to look away, especially when she thought about Xie Qingyu going to the city to buy a bra.
He didn't think much of it at first, but now that Xie Qingyu is his girlfriend, and thinking about it again, he feels like he's a beast.
"What do you mean we have to wait a while longer?" Xie Qingyu was confused by his abrupt change of topic.
He Shen cleared his throat before speaking, "We can only marry you after the autumn harvest, when everyone has time to build the house."
It would be at least this time by then. Even though He Shen had never experienced the autumn harvest, he knew what it was like.
That was the busiest time; the harvest was no joke.
If it's delayed by a day or two, and the weather turns bad and it rains, then the harvest of the past six months could very well be lost.
This is related to the food supply for so many people in the brigade.
I should have tried to negotiate and see if I could get an extra vehicle from the agricultural machinery station.
He Shen is now only hoping that the autumn harvest will end soon so that he can build a house.
"It hasn't been long," Xie Qingyu calculated the time.
The autumn harvest takes about half a month, but now houses can be built quickly. With just some bricks, it can be completed in less than ten days.
Then, after some repairs and adjustments, it will take at most one or two months.
Since her father asked her to come out and see He Shen off, it meant that he was willing to announce the news of their marriage. In the countryside, the process from betrothal to marriage usually takes about a month.
He Shen was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
In his opinion, this timeframe was still too long.
"ungrateful."
"I fed you with my conscience," Xie Qingyu retorted instinctively.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that something was wrong.
He Shen smiled, showing no displeasure at being called a 'dog'.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Your conscience can only be with me." He Shen loved Xie Qingyu's straightforward and blunt way of speaking.
"You bastard," Xie Qingyu muttered.
He Shen didn't hear clearly, but still asked based on his intuition, "Secretly cursing me?"
"You bastard!" Xie Qingyu raised her voice to prove that she was openly and honestly cursing.
He Shen simply smiled upon hearing this.
Seeing Xie Qingyu glaring at him, his smile deepened, and he couldn't help but bend down, cup Xie Qingyu's face, and kiss her on the lips.
The kind of genuine intimacy.
It expressed affection without any ulterior motives.
Xie Qingyu's eyes widened instantly, her gaze clearly conveying, "You're not crazy, are you?"
It's funny how being scolded makes you happy.
He Shen didn't say anything, but after giving him a kiss, he immediately let go.
Although few people walk on this path, it doesn't mean that no one will pass by.
“I will prepare everything for the wedding, so that you can marry me in a grand and glorious way, and be the best girl in the brigade to marry,” He Shen said.
This wasn't something Xie Qingyu asked for; it was something he wanted to give himself.
The Xie family has raised Xie Qingyu all these years to make her the luckiest girl in the brigade, so naturally they want to give her the best when she marries into the family.
"Mmm." This was the only time Xie Qingyu expressed her affirmation of marriage today.
He Shen was already happy enough to receive just this one word.
Xie Qingyu came out to see He Shen off, not to take him back to the educated youth settlement, but just to symbolically see him to the door.
The fact that the two spent this time alone together was already under Secretary Xie's tacit approval.
After speaking, He Shen let Xie Qingyu go home first.
He was also anxious to return to the educated youth settlement and prepare for these matters, which would inevitably cost money. Although he had some things on hand, he still needed some help.
He should go see Uncle Huang as soon as possible.
When He Shen returned to the educated youth settlement, he was stopped by Liu Qingqing.
Liu Qingqing's eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.
He Shen frowned subconsciously and stopped in his tracks.
"Who are you going to marry?" Liu Qingqing only learned about this matter this morning when she received a letter from home.
He Shen frowned deeply. "Who told you that?"
He had just returned after finalizing this matter, how did Liu Qingqing find out?
“I heard from your grandfather that a letter came from home…” He Shen understood when Liu Qingqing said this.
The letter must have been written beforehand. It was probably written when Uncle Huang first told Grandpa about his granddaughter-in-law, and the old man inquired with the Liu family to see if Liu Qingqing knew who she was.
"Yes."
"Are you going to get married in the countryside? You can't talk to these peasants, they're illiterate and you won't be able to communicate with them. And what if you can't return to the city after getting married here?" Liu Qingqing pressed.
He Shen was already impatient. "That's my business."
“Grandpa said you asked me to take care of me,” Liu Qingqing said.
“We’re all adults now. I’m only looking after you when you’re in trouble and have nowhere else to turn. It doesn’t mean I have to take care of you forever.” He Shen made this very clear to Liu Qingqing last time in the grove.
"Is that Xie Qingyu?" Liu Qingqing lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.
He Shen immediately became wary and glanced at her. "It has nothing to do with you."
Watching He Shen leave after saying those words, Liu Qingqing bit her lower lip hard.
She knew it!
