Chapter 167 Hidden Boss
After Huo Haoshi’s wedding, Grandpa took time out of his schedule to talk to Ruan Ruan about her going out.
The weather was good that day, and it was just the right time to go to the market. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so the old ladies and young women in the village went, and the two daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Huo family, plus Huo Yue, also went. Huo Yue went mainly to find her partner. During this period, Fu Mingyi had been on a mission, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Huo Haoshi and Li Huan, newlyweds, of course went to the city to hang out.
"When do you plan to leave?" Everyone else in the family had left, leaving only a few old men and Huo Haojie, so the old man found an excuse to keep Ruan Ruan and asked her directly.
"Grandpa, do you have any suggestions?"
"I don't have any suggestions for you. You've read the letter your master left for you. Over the years, those people have been in contact with your father and Haojie, so when the time comes, just let them take you to identify them. As for the rest, you can discuss it among yourselves."
After listening to the old man's words, Ruan Ruan looked at Huo Songhuai and Huo Haojie. These two people always gave people the impression of being honest and not fighting at home. In the eyes of the villagers, they were not as good as their two brothers. But she didn't expect that they were wrong. It turned out that they were the big guys. Their hiding skills were pretty good!
"Okay, I'll trouble Dad and Brother Haojie when the time comes." Then he thought about going to Beijing on New Year's Day to propose marriage for Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang, and added, "Dad, how about we go to Beijing earlier? Brother Haoshen and the others should be on their way by now."
"We can all do it, just come according to your time." Huo Songhuai looked at the girl in front of him. She was so young when he brought her back, but now she can stand on her own.
"Then let's go there early. Once we get there, we can ask what's needed to propose marriage in the capital, so that we have time to prepare."
Proposing a marriage in the capital is not like proposing a marriage in the countryside, where you just need to bring two pounds of meat, a pound of sugar, and some food. The Lu family and the He family are both respectable families in the capital, so how can they just send people away so easily?
"Ruan Ruan is right. You should leave as soon as possible. The two sides are at different times. If you go there early, you can be prepared."
So, after the discussion, Huo Songhuai took his wife and Ruan Ruan to the capital, while Huo Haojie stayed behind temporarily and went to the black market alone on New Year's Day.
Here, Huo Haoshen, Zheng Xuyang and three others also took leave and boarded the train to Beijing. Huo Haoshen used the convenience of the factory to buy four sleeper tickets for one carriage.
Before they set off, they called Huo Haocheng.
After the four of them got on the bus, with the mentality of minding their own business and keeping to themselves, Huo Haoshen and Zheng Xuyang took turns getting food, water, and escorting the two girls to the toilet. The rest of the time, they stayed in the car and did not go out or open the door.
Occasionally, when a conductor came to check tickets, Huo Haoshen would simply give out tickets to all four of them. After they left, he would quickly close the door. The reason they did this was because of Huo Haoshen's experience in riding trains over the past six months.
When he and Zeng Yunye were doing business together, as soon as he got on the bus, he made people in the car laugh with his handsome face and eloquent mouth. There were many old men and women who took a fancy to him and kept asking about him. When they heard that he was unmarried and had a stable job, they were even more satisfied and wanted to introduce their daughters or nieces to him. Even after he got off the bus, some old men and women kept asking for his contact information, which scared him a lot.
Later, he would rather buy a sleeper berth than save the money to sit on a hard seat. Of course, they were so cautious now because they were accompanied by two beautiful girls. It was almost the New Year, and they heard that those beggars were making trouble again, so they were better to be cautious.
In this way, they spent three days on the train and arrived in the capital at noon on the 29th. When they arrived, Ruan Ruan and the other two had already followed Grandma Ruan's advice and prepared the marriage proposal gifts.
They arrived on the afternoon of the 27th. Huo Haocheng and Ruan Shaohong came to pick them up. Huo Haocheng had never expected that he would be able to see his wife before going out on a mission, so he was very happy when he received a call from Ruan Ruan asking him to pick them up at that time.
So at noon on the 27th, Huo Haocheng set off with Ruan Shaohong right after breakfast.
"Brother, Ruan Ruan and the others won't arrive until 4pm. It's not even one now. It only takes 20 minutes to get from the army to the train station. Do you mind?"
Ruan Shaohong was very puzzled. Who would wait so early to pick someone up? It would be understandable if he didn't know the exact time, but the problem was that he knew the time.
"Shut up, you who don't care about your wife." Huo Haocheng really didn't want to bring this person with him. It would be better for him to be alone. If Ruan Shaoke was not brought with him, Bai Sirui would have to follow. During dinner last night, Mr. Ruan said that his in-laws were coming, and as the host, someone must come to pick them up. Ruan Shaohong was the eldest grandson of the Ruan family, and in the future, the Ruan family would fall into his hands, so he didn't want to bring him along.
After spending the past few days with the Ruan family, he also saw how Ruan Shaohong and his wife got along. It can be said that they treated each other with respect. He didn't understand why Ruan Shaohong would marry her if he didn't like her. Was it just because she was suitable?
When the two were at home, he didn't see how much Ruan Shaohong cared about his wife. During the meal, even Ruan Chuanji knew to pick up food for his wife, but they just ate their own food. When they returned home, Ruan's father and mother walked side by side, talking and laughing, and Ruan Shaohong and Qian Ling followed behind them, walking their own way. People who knew them were husband and wife, while people who didn't think they were brother and sister-in-law.
"Why don't I care about my wife?" Ruan Shaohong didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
"Think about how you get along with your wife, and then think about how I get along with my wife, and how Gu Jinghe gets along with his wife. Look at how you treat your wife on a daily basis. I won't say much about the rest. Take last night for example. After we finished training in the afternoon, we went home. But when you knew that your wife would be back very late, you didn't go to pick her up, letting a woman come back in the middle of the night by herself. Just tell me, are you a competent husband?"
"Don't tell me that you are tired from training or that you don't know anything. Just tell me, if Ruan Ruan doesn't come back from work until late at night and I don't go to pick her up, what would you do as her brother?"
While driving, Huo Haocheng felt a little sorry for Qian Ling at first, but she didn't say anything. It was Grandma Ruan who told him about these things this morning, asking him to persuade Ruan Shaohong more and care more about his wife. Originally, he shouldn't have said this, but Ruan's mother and Grandma Ruan had told him many times, but he always turned a deaf ear and didn't take it seriously at all.
"I'm going to beat you to death!" When he heard Huo Haocheng let Ruan Ruan walk home alone at night, he became furious and swung his fist, wanting to go up and beat him up.
"That's right. You wanted to beat me to death for treating your sister like this. Then she must be upset with you for treating you like this. Aren't you bullying their daughter because they are all engineers and are too busy to take care of you? I tell you, when they can't stand you anymore, you will lose your wife. By then, you won't even have a chance to keep her."
Huo Haocheng would not have said these things before. Before he got married, when he was in Yuncheng, Teacher Shen also asked him to persuade Gu Jinghe. How did he persuade him at that time?
