Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Grandpa rode his motorcycle to the next town this morning to call people to buy pigs. He's going to sell all of these pigs. He's been in this business for decades and has a wide network of connections. He'll try to get a good price."

"oh!"

Ding Yang lit a cigarette.

"Jingyi, it smells terrible in here. Why don't you go sit in the living room?"

"It's okay, it doesn't smell too bad."

"Jingyi, does Xiulian know you've come here?"

"Of course I don't know. Why would I tell her? If I did, she'd be furious with me!"

Not long after cleaning up the pig manure, Ding Yang pulled out a water pipe and began to wash the pigsty.

It took me almost an hour to finish.

After taking off their waterproof rubber shoes and changing their clothes, the two returned to their room.

Jingyi took off her shirt and hugged Dingyang tightly.

"Xiaoyang, I'm willing to stay home with you and raise pigs for the rest of my life."

"You silly girl, why are you so stubborn? What kind of future is there in raising pigs?"

"As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy whether we raise pigs or not."

Ding Yang was speechless, but he was indeed a little touched.

"Jingyi, I've already told you, I already have a girlfriend."

"Hmph, that rich woman isn't really your girlfriend, she's just someone you're playing around with. I don't believe you'd love her."

"Waaah..."

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, give me a kiss."

"Jingyi, I really don't want to hurt you."

"Xiaoyang, when I decided to come yesterday, I went through a lot of internal struggle. I traveled a long way here because I was afraid you would refuse me, and I was even more afraid that you would be angry and ignore me."

"My love is already so humble. It's impossible for you and Xiulian to be together anymore. I understand you and I accept you. Whether you're in Guangdong or in our hometown in Hunan, I'm willing to stay with you. If you raise pigs, I'll raise pigs with you. If you farm, I'll farm with you. I'm willing to stay with you through thick and thin, never leaving you."

Ding Yang was genuinely moved, and his hands involuntarily tightened around Jingyi.

"My dear girl, how can I ever repay your deep love?"

"Kiss me..."

In a moment of passion, Ding Yang and the two kissed passionately.

With a loud bang,

Ding Yang closed the door.

"what……"

"Xiaoyang, what about during the day?"

"Are you willing?"

"I do..."

"..."

Jingyi had never felt happiness come so suddenly; a warm current moved her deeply.

Grandma was cooking in the kitchen and wanted to go back to the main room to get some vegetables from the refrigerator.

Hearing the "argument" coming from the room, Grandma just shook her head, smiled, and immediately ran to the kitchen.

After a long time...

Jingyi leaned against Ding Yang's chest.

"Xiaoyang, you took the initiative, so you can't blame me."

"Sigh, you traveled all this way to see me, bringing the goods to my door. I'm so touched. How am I supposed to face your parents after this?"

"You only need to be responsible to me, not to my parents."

"Jingyi, I'm going back to Dongguan in a couple of days. I'm going to study, not to open a shop. I hope you can understand."

"Yes, I understand."

"Jingyi, I can't marry you right now. It's not that I want to be irresponsible, but I really can't afford to be right now. Can you wait for me?"

"How long are you going to make me wait?"

"I don't know either, maybe I'll have to wait until I finish university?"

"Xiaoyang, will you break up with that rich woman?"

"Sigh, you really can't predict what will happen in the future, but I really don't want to break up right now. I'm selfish too. I'm not as noble as you think. I'm greedy for money and lustful."

"I coveted your tenderness, and I also coveted her wealth. I am so shameful."

"Xiaoyang, I want to be with you, even if it's just working, I'm willing to stay with you."

"I know, but I really can't make any promises to you right now. After I go to Dongguan to study, I will come to see you often when I have time."

"Yes, as long as you come to see me, I'm willing to wait for you."

The two cuddled together in the room for a while.

Grandpa came back on his motorcycle.

"Jingyi, hurry up and get dressed, my grandpa is back."

"oh!"

The two got dressed, opened the door,

Ding Yang came out first.

"Grandpa, how is it?"

"It's settled, they'll come to pick up the pigs tomorrow morning."

"oh!"

At this moment, Chen Jingyi also came out of the room, her face still slightly flushed.

"Hello, Grandpa!"

Grandpa was quite surprised to find a woman in the room.

"Grandpa, this is Jingyi, my good friend from Dongguan. She came here by train from Dongguan last night."

"Oh, hello!"

"Sit down!"

"Your grandma is cooking. Please sit down, dinner will be served soon."

Grandpa came to the kitchen.

"Honey, is this girl Ding Yang's girlfriend?"

"Old Ding, what's that rascal Xiao Yang up to? Didn't he say his girlfriend's surname was Tan? But this girl's surname is Chen."

"what……"

"Old Ding, this girl just arrived, and he pulled her into the room, and the two of them did that in the room...aren't they ashamed?"

"Hey kid, what are you doing in Guangdong?"

"Old Ding, Xiao Yang is a boy, so he won't be at a disadvantage in this regard. I'm just worried that if he keeps doing this, what will happen if other people's parents find out? They'll break his legs."

"Sigh, the little rascal has grown up; we're afraid we can't control him anymore."

"This girl traveled all the way from Guangdong, so she must like him. She's quite good-looking and dressed simply. She would be a good granddaughter-in-law."

"Old Ding, ask this girl later what her family situation is like, how many siblings she has."

"Um!"

Before long, Grandma had finished cooking.

"Xiaoyang, dinner's ready!"

The four people sat around the table. Ding Yang gave Jingyi and her grandmother a can of drink, and poured himself and his grandfather a glass of Moutai each.

Chen Jingyi said, "Grandpa and Grandma, thank you for your warm hospitality. I'd like to offer you a toast with this beverage instead of wine, wishing you good health, longevity, and all the best."

"Thanks!"

Grandma has been cooking all her life, and she really doesn't like it without chili peppers. Luckily, Dingyang bought a lot of vegetables the day before yesterday.

"Stir-fried shrimp with garlic sprouts, stir-fried celery with cured pork, braised pork ribs, stir-fried celery with beef, and lean pork and loofah soup."

"Xiao Chen, there's not much food, just make do with this."

"Grandma, you're too kind. It's already very kind of you."

Grandpa asked, "Xiao Chen, are you a local from Dongguan?"

"Yes, from Chang'an, Dongguan."

"Oh, how many siblings do you have?"

"I also have an older brother, who is already married."

"oh!"

What kind of work do you do in Dongguan?

"I work as a grid worker in the community neighborhood committee."

"oh!"

What are your parents doing?

"My mom doesn't work; she mainly collects rent. My dad is the factory manager."

"Grandpa, why are you asking so many questions? Are you checking my household registration?"

"You silly child."

"Eat your vegetables!"

Perhaps the food didn't suit her taste, because Chen Jingyi ate very little.
