Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Buy, Buy, Buy for Her

Chiang Laoer?

Meng Xinian raised his eyebrows in surprise, a coincidence?

Meanwhile, Meng Donghai continued speaking.

”That younger brother is quite handsome, tall and slim, honest, and amiable. I was thinking, his children wouldn’t be bad-looking either. If he had a daughter, she would definitely be attractive! And she would surely be a sincere child, capable too. Wouldn’t we have to quickly set up an arranged marriage for them?”

Once Meng Donghai started talking about the past, he couldn’t stop and went on and on with enthusiasm.

But the more Meng Xinian listened, the more he felt a strange sense of weirdness. Why did he feel like the person his grandfather was describing suddenly conjured up an image of someone in his mind?

And that someone seemed to be an acquaintance?

Chiang Laoer?

”Grandpa, how old is he, roughly?”

At this point, he didn’t have the patience to criticise Meng Donghai anymore.

What kind of vision could link grandpa’s appearance and character to the grandchild’s, even knowing without a shadow of a person if they could work and be honest in the future?

Meng Donghai said, ”Now, he should be just over fifty. You’re in G Province now, right? Just have someone go look for him, it won’t be hard to find! Were it not for your old man blocking me, I really don’t believe I couldn’t find anyone! Maybe they’re even in a hurry trying to find me right now! Don’t let it delay the girl’s marriage arrangement. There are quite a few people setting up arranged marriages there, and even though by calculations, his granddaughter shouldn’t be very old yet, that’s no good either! Boy, you’d better send someone to search right away! Stubborn kid, had you listened to me earlier, right? Should have asked and searched sooner!”

Meng Xinian’s expression was odd; he couldn’t quite describe what he was feeling at that moment.

After hanging up the phone, he remembered the expression and tone Chiang Songhai had used when asking about this matter in the hospital today.

That was clearly suggestive of something!

If it hadn’t been for Chiang Xiao’s imperative statement ”I don’t just take your things for nothing” which hurried him to draw a clear line at that time and confused him with irritation, he would have noticed for sure!

Chiang Laoer, just over fifty, makes medicine, granddaughter.

Meng Xinian couldn’t help but vigorously rub his face.

But could things really be so delightfully coincidental?

Could it really be her?

The very same girl, his childhood sweetheart and little fiancée?

Zhao Xin looked at Meng Xinian worriedly. Oh no, what kind of expression was that on the captain’s face?

Could that childhood engagement be real?

But if it were real, why didn’t the captain show any anger, resentment, or rejection? In fact, it seemed like he was holding back a laugh?

Could a childhood engagement not be taken seriously?

But the captain didn’t seem relieved either?

This complex expression, he couldn’t comprehend it anymore.

”Captain, are we heading back to the alliance now?” he asked cautiously.

Meng Xinian strode out, straightening his collar and smoothing his clothes, standing exceptionally tall and straight.

”Head back what? I’m still on medical leave from my injuries!”

Having said that, he was the first to leave the militia company and head towards the town cooperative.

Zhao Xin followed closely, completely stunned, watching him shop away.

Fabric, buy!

Candy, buy!

Flour, buy!

White sugar, buy!

Hair bands and flowers? Buy!

Huh?! Those are for little girls!

Then he bought ten jin of meat.

A whole pile of stuff, brimming and overflowing.

If Meng Xinian hadn’t been injured, these things wouldn’t be considered heavy, and he could carry them by himself. But now with an injury, Zhao Xin insisted on helping, and ultimately, they needed to find Hu Xibing to get a bicycle and piled everything onto the back seat.

”I won’t be coming back tonight, the bike doesn’t need to be returned in a hurry, right?”

Hu Xibing was already dazed by his demeanor and just shook his head blankly after hearing the question.

”Good.”

”Captain, but I don’t have leave anymore, I need to go back!” Zhao Xin said.

”You just go back!” Meng Xinian glanced at him, mounted the bike with a cool move, and set off toward Siyang Village.
