Chapter 4 What do you mean by "your girlfriend's father is the mayor"?

Grandpa Wang smiled and waved the small shovel in his hand.

"Let's go get some wild vegetables. Do you want some? Come to my house later and get some!"

Jiang Feng immediately waved his hand and then said with a smile.

"No need, Grandpa Wang. I'll go back and rest for a while and take a nap. I've just been on the train for more than ten hours. I'll rest for a bit."

Grandpa Wang smiled broadly.

"Hey, it's no big deal. I'll have your Uncle Wang deliver it to you in a bit."

Jiang Feng refused twice, but the generous Grandpa Wang persisted, so he gave up struggling.

Jiang Feng walked along the path towards his home, and soon he arrived at a house consisting of two small brick and tile houses.

The slightly dilapidated house was something Jiang Feng missed even more than a luxurious villa.

For ten years, he has only been able to come back for a few days during the Chinese New Year each year before having to rush back to Yanjing.

Like many people who wander far from home, they do so because of their studies, part-time jobs, or work, but never because they want to leave.

Jiang Feng looked at the house and slowly stepped forward. He was seen by his sister, who was washing vegetables, as soon as he entered the yard.

"Xiaofeng? Is that you?"

Jiang Yuhan looked at Jiang Feng with disbelief on her face.

Jiang Feng looked at his older sister, who was ten months older than him. She was only twenty-eight years old at the time, but because she was busy with family responsibilities all year round, she looked older than her actual age.

"Sis, I'm home!"

Upon hearing the word "sister," Jiang Yuhan immediately put down the dishes she was holding and quickly walked towards Jiang Feng.

"Xiaofeng, why did you suddenly come back? Why didn't you tell us? We could have prepared some good food in advance."

"You look thinner!"

Hearing his sister's caring words, Jiang Feng's face was full of smiles.

"Sis, you must be mistaken. I've gained several pounds, okay?"

"I've come back with good news to tell you all."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuhan immediately pulled Jiang Feng into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't help but shout to the few people inside who had just returned from the fields.

"Grandpa, Dad, Zhicheng, look who's back!"

Hearing Jiang Yuhan's excited voice, the people inside the room all looked over.

When they saw Jiang Feng, a look of surprise appeared on their faces. Then, they looked at Jiang Feng with concern and started talking about all sorts of things.

Seeing the concern shown by his grandfather Jiang Wuxi, his father Jiang Quansheng, and his brother-in-law Liu Zhicheng, Jiang Feng's face was full of smiles, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Although his home wasn't wealthy, it was very warm.

After a round of pleasantries, Jiang Feng finally had time to get down to business.

"I came back this time mainly for two things. The first is that my girlfriend will be on summer vacation in half a month and may come to our house. The main reason is to meet you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed joy.

"Really? Xiaofeng? That's wonderful! Your life's most important matter is finally settled."

Jiang Yuhan was the first to react, and excitedly patted Jiang Feng's shoulder.

Jiang Feng smiled and looked at his older sister, not minding at all.

Liu Zhicheng immediately realized what was happening and started thinking: Xiaofeng's girlfriend was coming over.

Should we do some repairs at home? Do we have any money left? Is there enough money for Xiaofeng's wedding dowry? How much money can he and Yuhan contribute?

Thinking of this, he asked directly.

"Xiaofeng, it's great that you brought your girlfriend home, but what are her family's requirements if you're going to get married?"

"If you don't have enough money, your sister and I have some more. When is she coming over? If we have time, we'll fix up this old house. We can't let you lose face, Xiaofeng!"

Jiang Quansheng was initially pleased, but quickly remembered the matter and said to Jiang Feng.

"Yeah, Xiaofeng, what are your girlfriend's family's requirements?"

Jiang Wuxi looked at his capable grandson with a worried expression on his wrinkled face.

After all, he knew his family's situation. What if they couldn't meet the girl's family's demands and it delayed Xiaofeng's wedding?

Jiang Feng, seeing the state of his family, immediately offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxin and her family aren't materialistic. As long as we're happy, they definitely won't have any objections."

Jiang Quansheng immediately waved his hand.

"Hey, Xiaofeng doesn't mind, so we can't just ignore it completely, can we?"

"Perfect timing. With your internship salary and subsidies over the years, plus your family's money, we should be able to scrape together 18,000 to 20,000 yuan for your dowry. As for a house, we might be able to get one in the county if we pool our resources."

Jiang Feng smiled and didn't argue with his family about this matter.

Wait a moment, and I'll explain Gao Xin's family situation. Then they'll understand why her family doesn't care about the man's family background.

Jiang Yuhan, the eldest sister, was so happy that she didn't know what to say.

"That's great! Xiaofeng, you're finally getting married. You and Lao Yu are the only two left in our village who aren't married yet."

"However, Lao Yu is getting married soon, and you're getting married soon too, that's great!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately remembered that his childhood friend Yu Jian was indeed getting married around this time.

Moreover, it seems that the other party's father is the executive deputy director of the county bureau?

"Old Yu is getting married? What's the wedding date? Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Yuhan offered an explanation.

"It's because Lao Yu thought that you were too far away in Yanjing and didn't want you to travel back and forth because of this, so he didn't let us tell you. He was thinking of treating you to a meal separately when you have time to come back."

Just as Jiang Feng was about to ask about the situation, Jiang Quansheng suddenly asked a crucial question.

"Xiaofeng, how old is your girlfriend? What does her family do? How can you not care about her family's financial situation?"

"Is it also from a rural area? Or from the county?"

Jiang Feng didn't hide this from his family, since they would find out about Gao Xin's family situation sooner or later.

"Sis, Xiaoxin is a junior at Renmin University, so she's kind of my junior!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhicheng mentally calculated: a third-year university student? That means he's seven years younger than Jiang Feng?

Is it like a high school student dating an elementary school student?

"Is there really such a big age gap? Isn't this like a high school student dating an elementary school student?"

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes. This guy is an adult, how can he calculate things like that?

"Brother-in-law, you can't calculate it like that. We're both adults, it's normal for us to be a few years apart."

Jiang Yuhan rolled her eyes at Liu Zhicheng, clearly annoyed.

"Zhicheng, if you can't speak properly, then just shut up."

Liu Zhicheng scratched his head, his face full of a simple, honest smile.

Jiang Feng was interrupted for a moment, then continued his introduction.

"Her family members are government officials, mainly her father, who is the mayor of Pucheng City in Liaoning Province!"
