Chapter 189 He Daqing plans to give his daughter a dowry
"Hello, Dad, it's me, Yuzhu." He Yuzhu's voice came gently into He Daqing's ears through the telephone line.
When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu's voice, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. "Is it Shazhu? How is my grandson Changan? Where is Yushui?"
He Yuzhu listened to He Daqing's caring words, and a smile appeared on his face. He replied with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, Changan has gained a lot of weight, and it's a bit difficult to hold him now. I called today to talk to you about Yu Shui."
When He Daqing heard that his eldest grandson had gained weight again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, as if he could see the chubby little face of little Chang'an.
But then, he heard He Yuzhu's next words, and his expression became serious. He frowned and asked worriedly: "Yushui, what's wrong with her? Did something happen?"
He Yuzhu took a deep breath, then slowly said: "Dad, I found a job for Yushui, and by the way, I also found her a partner and settled the marriage."
When He Daqing heard what He Yuzhu said, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. His eyes widened and his voice rose several decibels out of excitement:
"What? The marriage is settled? This... this is too sudden! Whose child is it? Why did you make the decision without consulting me?"
When He Yuzhu heard what He Daqing said, he moved the phone away from his ear. After He Daqing had vented his emotions, he spoke slowly:
"Dad, do you remember the last time you called me and asked me to arrange Yu Shui's matter? This guy is a policeman, he has good character, and Yu Shui likes him very much, so I took the initiative to arrange it for him."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, He Daqing suddenly remembered that he had said such words before. The anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.
He coughed twice, trying to cover up his gaffe, then changed the subject and asked, "Then... when is the time set? Your Aunt Bai and I will go back early then."
He Yuzhu replied, "It's scheduled for the 18th of next month. You just need to come then. I have prepared the dowry and everything. You don't have to worry about it."
When He Daqing heard that He Yuzhu had made such thoughtful preparations for the rain, he felt a little relieved and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
He secretly decided that he would give Yu Shui a sum of money as a safe haven, and he would not tell anyone about the money, as a token of his appreciation to Yu Shui.
Seeing that He Daqing didn't say anything, He Yuzhu continued, "Dad, do you want to say a few words to Yushui? She's right next to us now."
He Daqing finally came to his senses. It turned out that Yu Shui was also there when he made the call. He hurriedly said, "Why don't you give the phone to Yu Shui? I want to talk to her."
Seeing this, He Yuzhu handed the phone to He Yushui who was standing next to him. He was afraid that Yushui would not be able to speak with him, so he said, "You talk to Dad, I'll wait for you outside." After that, He Yuzhu turned around and walked out of the post office, waiting quietly at the door.
He Yushui picked up the phone and immediately smiled brightly. She said to the other end of the phone with concern: "Dad, how are you? How is your health? Are Aunt Bai and my brother all right?" Her voice was full of concern and longing for her family.
When He Daqing heard He Yushui's voice, he thought of what He Yugang and He Yuqiang had said to him yesterday, and replied cheerfully:
"I'm in good health, don't worry. Your Aunt Bai has been bored at home lately, so she took on some temporary jobs and is living a fulfilling life. As for your two brothers, I've found jobs for them, and they're both working now. A few days ago, they told me that they'd buy you a gift after they get paid."
He Yushui was very happy to hear the good news. She couldn't help but share her joy with He Daqing: "Dad, I also have a job. My silly brother found a job for me. I work as a broadcaster in a steel mill. When I get my salary, I will buy you gifts." Her voice was full of excitement.
He Daqing was even more relieved when he heard what He Yushui said. He smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, then Dad will be waiting." Then, he casually asked, "Yushui, do you like the person your brother found for you? Is it settled?"
When He Yushui heard He Daqing asking about her marriage, her face immediately flushed. She lowered her head shyly, and her voice became softer: "Well, Dad, Wang Xinren is very good, and he is also good to me."
He Daqing was relieved when he heard his daughter's affirmative answer. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were shining with joy. He smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. As long as you feel good about it, we are all relieved."
After saying that, He Daqing suddenly remembered that He Yushui's wedding would be next month, and he promised solemnly: "Then when the time comes, Dad will bring your Aunt Bai and the others back to see you off. You have to take good care of yourself, understand?"
When He Yushui heard what He Daqing said, she nodded gently and said softly, "Yes, I understand, Dad."
He Daqing was even more relieved when he saw his daughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance. He said with some concern: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. The people behind me are still waiting in line to make a call. I'll hang up first. Call me if you have anything, okay?"
He Yushui felt a little reluctant when she heard her father was about to hang up. She said softly, "I know, Dad. I'll hang up now." Then she hung up the phone gently.
He Yuzhu watched Yushui hang up the phone and walked in. He handed the money for the call to the staff and left the post office with He Yushui.
