The next morning, the whole family came to the train station to see him off. The three brothers, Xue Ying, Xue Qing, and Xue Min, who had been living on campus, asked for leave when they heard that Xue Yuan was leaving.

Tang Sicheng held Xue Ming's hand in the stands of the train station and said, "We must say goodbye after a long journey. Go back, brother."

Xue Ming looked at the expressionless Xue Yuan and gently rubbed Xue Yuan's head. "Brother Tang, I will leave the child to you. If there is anything missing at home, just send me a telegram."

"Xiao Yuan, when you get to your godmother's house, you must listen to your godfather and godmother, and don't make your godfather and godmother angry." Liu Yue'e bent down and picked up Xue Yuan, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, we would rather go hungry than wrong Xiaoyuan." Dong Zhuer raised her hand and made a solemn promise.

At this time, a whistle sounded in the distance, and the staff shouted at the passengers to stand back. A green train slowly stopped on the platform.

"Aunt Liu, brother, please go back quickly. Don't worry about Xiaoyuan." Tang Sicheng said.

"Brother Tang, have a nice trip." Xue Ming had no time to say anything before he was pushed away by passengers rushing to get on the train. The platform was full of passengers carrying large and small bags.

The three members of the Tang family took Xue Yuan on the train and waved to Xue Ming through the window. Tang Sicheng kept talking, while Xue Yuan looked at Xue Ming quietly.

Xue Ming suddenly felt reluctant and shouted at the window at the top of his voice, "Xiao Yuan, if you feel homesick, just send me a telegram and I will go to the capital to take him home."

The carriage was also noisy, and Tang Sicheng couldn't hear clearly what Xue Ming was saying, so the two of them could only say their own words.

The train started slowly, and Xue Ming trotted along with it, "Xiaoyuan, if you feel homesick, send a telegram."

"Dad, I want to go home, I want to go home." Xue Yuan suddenly collapsed and cried in the car, running towards the car door.

Tang Sicheng and Dong Zhuer immediately hugged him, "Don't cry at all, your father will feel uncomfortable."

"Dad, I want to go home..." Xue Yuan cried louder and tried hard to break away from his godfather's arms. While crying, he reached out to Xue Ming.

"Stop, stop for me." Xue Ming already regretted running with all his strength to follow the train.

The train ran faster and faster and gradually disappeared between heaven and earth. Xue Ming ran slower and slower and finally collapsed outside the railway. He was the only one left between heaven and earth.

"Did I do something wrong?" Xue Ming sat quietly on the railway track and pondered. He originally thought that letting the child leave sadly was for the child's good, but he never considered the child's feelings from the beginning to the end.

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in his heart. He never dared to dream that this separation would almost become an eternal farewell, and that when father and son met again, they were almost strangers.

Xue Ming sat on the railway track for a long time. The piercing sound of the whistle brought him back to reality. A military train pulling a tank roared past him.

I walked slowly back along the railway track, found an exit in the middle and left the railway. After wandering for a day, I finally returned home at dusk.

The next morning, when he was about to confess to his mother about his intention to marry Zhao Xue, the landlord Hu Liya came to the door with two plainclothes policemen.

The public security officer was a member of the task force and took Xue Ming to the provincial capital police station to sign the case.

Since the two criminal suspects were beaten to death by Xue Ming on the spot, the Zhao family did not file a civil lawsuit against the suspects' families, so the case could be closed without a court trial.

Xue Ming saw Zhao Xue in the bureau. Compared with the previous two days, Xue Ming's whole person changed drastically, and his mental state was obviously much better.

"Dad, Mom, Xue Ming and I are going to go shopping in the department store. Don't cook for me at noon." Zhao Xue got into Xue Ming's car directly.

"I know, you kid, be more reserved." Qin Fengru rolled her eyes and quickly paid her.

Zhao Qinghong also paid for her daughter, "Xiao Xue, don't play too late. The security at night in the provincial capital is not very good."

"I know, I will definitely send Xiaoxue home before five o'clock." Xue Ming said.

The bicycle was driving on the road, Xue Ming pedaled easily, Zhao Xue sat in the back seat and grabbed his waist with both hands, talking and laughing all the way to the department store.

"Comrade salesperson, could you please show me that thermos?" Zhao Xue said, pointing to the big red thermos on the counter.

Of course the salesperson knew the niece of sales director Zhao Shufen. Her service attitude was extremely good and she introduced the thermos bottle in a soft voice.

"Xue Ming, do you think it's pretty?" Zhao Xue held up the thermos bottle to show off the wintersweet flowers on the shell.

"Beautiful, comrade salesperson, let's take the bill." Xue Ming didn't bother to ask the price and just paid the bill.

At this time, Zhao Shufen brought Liu Yue'e over. Zhao Shufen already knew that Xue Ming proposed to Zhao Xue, so she joked, "Oh, as expected, she is a talented man and a beautiful woman. Are you buying wedding supplies?"

"Aunt!" Zhao Xue blushed and lowered her head, peeking at Liu Yue'e from the corner of her eye.

Liu Yue'e was confused. She knew that her son Zhao Xue had always been lukewarm, so why did she suddenly start talking about marriage?

"Yue'e, look at the love bracelet Xiaoxue gave Xiaoxue. My father said it was emerald, which was very valuable in the old society." Zhao Shufen spoke loudly for fear that others would not hear.

Liu Yue'e stared at her son even more confused. Zhao Shufen felt something was wrong and immediately took them to the office.

"What's going on, kid? When did you talk to Xiaoxue?" Liu Yue'e was both nervous and excited.

"Mom, I proposed to Xiaoxue a few days ago, and she finally agreed to marry me. However, I was in a bad mood recently because of Xue Yuan's incident, so I didn't have time to tell you." Xue Ming said.

"You're such a confused kid, how dare you hide such a big thing from me?" Liu Yue'e glared at her son fiercely.

"Xiaoxue, my son has a weird temper. If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and see how I deal with him." Liu Yue'e smiled brightly and took Zhao Xue's hand.

Zhao Xue's face immediately turned red, "Aunt Liu, Xue Ming will not bully me, he has always been very good to me."

"Oh, I'm here to protect you. As the old saying goes, you can't keep a good girl!" Zhao Shufen continued to tease her niece.

Everyone laughed, Zhao Xue was too shy to raise her head and hid behind Xue Ming, not daring to come out, and secretly gave her aunt a hard look.

"Mom, aunt, I want to ask a matchmaker to go to Zhao's house to propose marriage. I'll leave it to you to worry about the matchmaker and the auspicious day." Xue Ming said.

Zhao Xue was suddenly stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but beam with joy the next second. She was so excited that she wanted to cry. She grabbed Xue Ming's clothes with her little hands.

"Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by my aunt. I will hire the best matchmaker in the provincial capital for you." Zhao Shufen said.

"Sister Shufen, don't joke with the child. You are the matchmaker for Xue Ming and Xiaoxue. Why are you looking for a matchmaker?" Liu Yuee said in a serious tone.

Zhao Shufen instantly smiled and said, "Oh, it's hard for people to use their brains when they are old. I am the best at protecting matchmakers. I was the matchmaker for Xiaoxue's parents back then."

"Then I'm sorry, auntie, but I know the customs of getting married in the provincial capital. Please make a list for me of what I need to buy. Also, do I need to buy an apartment in the provincial capital?" Xue Ming said,
