Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Showing Off

When Xinyan and Jinxuan got on the bus with large and small packages, the He Family also bustled about.

Early in the morning, Mr. He went to the morning market, and many acquaintances saw him buying vegetables: "Master He, how come you’re buying vegetables today?"

Mr. He looked proud: "Our Third and his fiancée are coming back, lots of things to do at home, so I had to make a trip myself."

Someone joked, "Oh, your Third is bringing his fiancée back, you should prepare some good dishes to entertain them. When is their wedding banquet?"

Mr. He got even more enthusiastic: "Ah, it’s not up to me, they’re both extremely busy, it’ll depend on them."

When he said that, people got interested: "We know your Third works at a transport company in Beijing, what’s his fiancée doing?"

Mr. He was waiting for them to ask: "Third’s fiancée is a student at Beijing University, not only studying two foreign languages but also training with a traditional Chinese medicine expert, she’s extremely busy herself."

Upon hearing this, some were envious, some were jealous, but everyone spoke flattering words.

"Master He, your Third is incredible, I heard from the people at the factory office that our steel factory once hired those who can speak ’bird language’ to translate documents, and it was very expensive.

Your daughter-in-law-to-be will only need to move her lips to make money in the future, such an easy job."

"Master He, in the future, just wait for your Third to show filial piety."

"Exactly, you might even live in Beijing someday."

"By then, don’t forget us old neighbors. If we ever have something to do in Beijing, we might rely on you for a place to stay."

The conversation wandered farther and farther until someone shouted: "Alright, if we don’t buy vegetables now, there will only be leaves left."

Only then did people reluctantly disperse.

Mr. He watched people disperse, feeling a little disappointed. He hadn’t boasted about the in-laws’ status yet, and now they were gone.

Thinking of his wife’s instructions, he quickly headed towards the meat vendor.

He bought three pounds of premium pork belly, and seeing some ribs without tickets by the counter: "Master Liu, give me three pounds of ribs too."

The butcher, Master Liu, teased with a smile: "Brother He, how come you’re buying so much meat at once? Is there a happy occasion at home?"

Mr. He hadn’t shown off enough earlier: "It’s because our Third is bringing his fiancée home, and our in-laws have good conditions, so we can’t shortchange the young lady."

Master Liu was chopping bones while replying with a laugh: "That’s right, your Third will probably settle in Beijing in the future, right?"

Mr. He felt somewhat uncomfortable: "Yes, the connections Third made in the army are over there, and with the Yue Family’s support, there’s more future for him there."

Master Liu packed the ribs: "Brother He, just wait for a good life."

Hearing Master Liu’s compliments, Mr. He felt at ease and laughed: "I like hearing that, let’s hope your good words come true."

When Xinyan and the others arrived, it was already the next morning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off the train, they saw He Yuejin standing on the platform.

He Yuejin spotted them in the crowd at once and waved his hand, shouting: "Third Brother, Sister-in-law, here, here."

Saying that, he squeezed through the crowd towards them.

Besides the backpack she carried, Xinyan was only holding one item in her hand, while Jinxuan had a large pack on his back and two more in his hands.

He Yuejin quickly took the items from his Third Brother: "Brother, let me help you carry these."

He then turned to Xinyan: "Sister-in-law, you must be tired from the trip; we’ve made wontons at home for you to eat when you get back."

The three of them chatted as they left the station.

Not far away, there was a bus stop with a direct bus to their home. Just as they reached the stop, the bus arrived, not wasting any time at all.

As they got close to the bus stop near home, from a distance, they saw Mr. He looking their way at the street corner.

As the bus stopped, a few people got off, and instead of approaching, he turned around and walked back.

Jinxuan feared Xinyan might misunderstand and softly explained, "He’s just that awkward type, probably still holding onto some elder dignity, don’t think too much about it."

Xinyan naturally held no grudges about Mr. He’s actions. If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t be waiting at the street corner; she smiled slightly and nodded: "I understand, don’t worry."

Moreover, even if they marry in the future, her time with the He Family wouldn’t be much, as long as it didn’t touch her bottom line; there was no need to argue with them.

He Yuejin also noticed Mr. He: "Sister-in-law, Dad just has some old people issues, he even bought the groceries himself, he’s really happy you’re back."

Jinxuan softly said to Xinyan: "You must be hungry, let’s go home and eat."

As soon as they reached the street corner, Mother He and the He Family’s eldest sister-in-law came to greet them together.
