A powerful country in scientific research

I didn't expect to see the person I missed for a long time right after arriving. He Cheng raised his lips in a beautiful arc, "Happy New Year, girlfriend."

Su Ran, who was greeted with New Year's greetings for the first time on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, curled her lips in amusement and said, "Happy New Year! You're back so early?"

He Cheng: "Well, nothing happened at home, so I came back. Auntie didn't leave, right?"

Su Ran smiled and replied, "No, I'm chatting in the room. I'll be back in the afternoon. You came here so early, you didn't come here as soon as you arrived at the educated youth point?"

He Cheng nodded, "Well, it seems that I am not too late."

Grandma Jiang's voice came from the room, "Ranran, who is it?"

Su Ran answered loudly: "Grandma, it's He Cheng."

After answering Grandma Jiang, Su Ran said to He Cheng, "Come in, I'll pour you some hot water to warm you up." After saying that, she moved sideways to make room.

After He Cheng came in, Su Ran closed the door, and the cold air was completely locked out.

He Cheng followed Su Ran to the room of Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang. Since the kang was installed, the place for entertaining guests in winter has moved from the main hall to the room of Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw several people sitting on the kang and sofa. He Cheng hurriedly said, "Grandma, Auntie, Xiaolei, Happy New Year. I'm a little late in paying my respects this year, please don't mind."

Grandma Jiang chuckled and said, "Xiao He, Happy New Year to you too."

Su Lei looked at the man and pursed his lips, "Brother He Cheng, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Xiao He, why did you come back so early? Why didn't you stay at home for a few more days?" Jiang Hongmei liked her future son-in-law more and more.

He Cheng smiled and replied, "I was afraid something might happen at the factory, so I came back early. Grandma, auntie, these are the things my family asked me to bring. Thank you for taking care of me over the past six months." As he spoke, he put the bag in his hand on the low table beside him.

Grandma Jiang frowned and said, "We didn't take care of anything, so why did you bring anything for us?"

Jiang Hongmei had the same idea, "Xiao He, take it back quickly, we don't need anything at home."

"Grandma, auntie, these are specially prepared for you by my grandma and aunt. There is no use for me to take them back, so just accept them. If you accept them, I will feel comfortable coming here to eat for free in the future." He Cheng said with a smile.

Grandma Jiang knew that this was his way of saying it to get them to accept the gift. "Okay, okay, then we won't be polite. Xiao He, have lunch at home. Don't go back. Your aunt is leaving this afternoon. Stay and talk to her."

He Cheng nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll bother you then."

Seeing that He Cheng agreed to stay for dinner, Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, Ranran, Xiaolei, you two can chat with Xiao He while your mom and I cook."

"Okay." Su Ran responded.

Grandma Jiang and her daughter Jiang Hongmei went to the kitchen with smiles on their faces.

He Cheng took a sip of water and asked, "Is grandpa not at home?" He wanted to ask this as soon as he came in.

"I went to my uncle's house." Su Ran explained.

"Oh, okay. By the way, there is a pen in the white bag I took that is for Xiaolei. Su Ran, please find it and give it to Xiaolei." He Cheng said.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows and silently complained in her heart, Comrade He is really generous. She obediently went to the bag to look for the pen. The pen was well packaged and she saw it at once. Su Ran took it out and handed it to Su Lei.

Su Ran: "Comrade Su Lei has had a really comfortable New Year, receiving red envelopes and gifts. Go and thank Brother He Cheng." As he said this, he patted Su Lei on the shoulder.

Su Lei chuckled, "Thank you, Brother He Cheng."

He Cheng smiled faintly, "You're welcome."

Su Ran asked He Cheng about what happened in Hai City these days, and Su Lei listened silently.

"That hibiscus cake was specially brought to you by my grandma. You can try it when you have time. It tastes very good." He Cheng said.

Su Ran smiled, "Wow, grandma cares about me so much, I'll try it later, you said it's good, so it must taste good."

......

After lunch, He Cheng did not stay long. Jiang Hongmei must have had some private things to say before leaving, and it would be inappropriate for him, an outsider, to stay any longer.

He didn't let Su Ran send him off. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so now it's better to let Su Ran spend more time with his mother.

After He Cheng left, Su Lei excitedly took out the pen he had just received and showed off to his mother, "Mom, Brother He Cheng gave it to me."

Jiang Hongmei looked at the Hero brand fountain pen in her son's hand and frowned, "This is too expensive. Who asked you to accept it?"

"The pen is in the bag. Didn't you say you would accept it?" Su Lei was a little confused about his mother's train of thought.

When Jiang Hongmei heard what her son said, she quickly walked to the coffee table and took out the things in the bag that He Cheng brought one by one, including a box of exquisite-looking snacks, a roast duck, two sets of high-end-looking cosmetics, a bag of tea, and two bottles of white wine.

Jiang Hongmei: ...

If she knew that what He Cheng brought was so valuable, she would definitely not accept it! How much does it cost?

She frowned and called out, "Mom and Dad, Ranran."

The three people who were picking vegetables for Jiang Hongmei in the greenhouse heard the voice and came over, "What's wrong, Hongmei?"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hongmei took a deep breath, "Mom and Dad, look at what He Cheng brought here, it's too expensive."

Su Ran also noticed the things on the bed. She raised her eyebrows and sighed again, saying that He Cheng was really generous. These things were rare in that era, but he actually gave so many of them at once. Not to mention Jiang Hongmei, even she, a modern person, was a little scared when she saw them.

Grandma Jiang frowned, "Why don't we let Ranran go back?"

Grandpa Jiang shook his head. "Didn't you hear what Xiao He said? These were prepared by the elders in the family. This means they already know that Ranran and Xiao He are dating, and they are very satisfied with Ranran. This is a good thing. There is no need to be too bitter. These things are indeed a bit expensive, but it's okay. When Ranran goes home with Xiao He, we will buy some more for Ranran. It will be fine as long as it is not worse than this."
