Although there were many thoughts in her mind, Mingyue's face looked calm.
"I know you are doing this for my own good. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Mingyue came close to Liu Dadong and said seriously, "By the way, Dad, I want to tell you something else."
Perhaps it was because of Liu Mingyue's previous obedience that Liu Dadong did not doubt Mingyue's performance.
Hearing that she agreed to it, Liu Dadong was satisfied and his attitude softened: "What's the matter? Tell me?"
Mingyue took a deep breath and said with concern: "I was thinking that no matter whether I was studying in another place or in my hometown, I would definitely not be able to walk back every day to cook for you like I did when I was studying in the commune. But I was worried about you being alone in the house, so I thought, I should find a godparent, so that there would be someone to watch over you in the house, and I would feel more at ease."
If Mingyue said that she wanted to adopt a godparent just for herself, Liu Dadong would definitely not be happy.
But now she said it was for him, and he felt comforted all of a sudden. He felt that this daughter was not raised in vain. Look how caring she is. Even though she was going to study, she was still worried about his life.
In addition, he had made Mingyue give up a prestigious university before, so he felt a little uncomfortable, so his tone was gentler at this moment: "So which family do you want to recognize? Let me tell you first, I will definitely not do it with those questionable people."
Mingyue smiled and said, "I definitely won't look for those people, but Uncle Chao and Aunt Xiu. I have already talked to Aunt Xiu, so it depends on whether you agree or not."
When he heard that it was the village chief and his wife, Liu Dadong's eyes lit up instantly.
In Liujia Village, the village chief is also an official. If you have a good relationship with him, you can get a lot of advantages. Even buying a bag of fertilizer may save you dozens of dollars.
"Of course we have to. What did you say? What you said verbally definitely doesn't count. We still have to have a wedding banquet." Liu Dadong reminded with a calculating look in his eyes.
"I know," Mingyue nodded and explained, "Aunt Xiu said that as long as you agree, she will ask Uncle Chao to invite someone to host the banquet. Do you have anyone you want to invite? I can go and tell them later."
Liu Dadong swallowed his saliva. He really didn't expect that the village chief's family would have such an idea. For a moment, he really couldn't think of who to invite.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable. After all, Yuewa said that her grades were very good. She was even the top scholar. In ancient times, this number would make her a high-ranking official. No wonder the village chief came to her.
He felt somewhat proud in his heart, thinking that he could teach the baby, oh no, he could give birth to a baby. Look at his baby Yuewa, so capable and obedient, who wouldn't envy him outside
It’s just a pity, tsk, it’s a daughter.
Thinking of this, Liu Dadong couldn't help but think of what his third brother had just said.
"What's the use of Yuewa no matter how capable she is? What's the use of reading a lot? Isn't she going to get married in the future? Once she gets married, she will belong to someone else's family. It has nothing to do with you, Liu Dadong. Your money invested in it will just go down the drain. Our family is not as prosperous as it used to be. This is a male heir, who will carry on the family line and take care of me in my old age. If I were you, I would just let Yuewa study nearby and then I could get married in the future to earn some dowry money."
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him. After all, daughters are not like sons. Sons are married into the family, while daughters are married off. One is a family member, while the other is an outsider. He really shouldn't let Yuewa become too capable. If she is too capable, he is afraid that he won't be able to control her in the future.
So after thinking about it for a long time, he came back and immediately told his daughter that she should not study outside. Fortunately, his daughter was always obedient and had no intention of refusing.
"Dad? Dad, I'm asking you a question. What are you thinking about?" Mingyue saw that Liu Dadong looked daydreamy and waved her hand beside his eyes.
Liu Dadong came to his senses and said, "I haven't thought of who to invite yet. You can go and tell your aunt Xiu first and tell her that I agree. Let them decide for themselves." Mingyue was delighted and quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell them right away."
Liu Dadong was actually quite happy and nodded: "Go ahead, go early and come back early, it's time to cook lunch soon."
Mingyue nodded and walked outside.
The village chief's house is not far from Liu Dadong's house. Just go out, follow two roads and go down a slope to get there.
People in the village usually do not close their doors during the day. When the bright moon comes out, puffs of smoke are already rising from the chimney of the village chief's house, and it is obvious that he is already preparing lunch.
Mingyue knocked on the door and asked loudly, "Aunt Xiu, Uncle Chao, is he in the house?"
The person inside heard the noise and quickly came out of the kitchen.
As soon as Aunt Xiu saw Mingyue, she smiled and said, "You're here, Yuewa. What did your husband say?"
Probably because he heard the name Yue Wa, the village chief, Uncle Chao, also came out of the kitchen. He smiled at Ming Yue and said, "Stay for lunch later. I made some meat this afternoon. You can try my cooking."
"Uncle, aunt, my dad agreed, and said that you guys can make the decision on this matter." Mingyue blushed, as if she was a little embarrassed: "He said that we must have a wedding banquet."
The village head and his wife understood what she meant immediately. It turned out that Liu Dadong had said that a banquet must be held, as if he was afraid that they were just joking.
The couple looked at each other, and Uncle Chao immediately said, "Of course, we are going to recognize each other, so it must be real, not a joke, and we must hold a wedding banquet."
The couple had already discussed it long ago and felt that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages. They were indeed prepared to hold a wedding banquet and properly recognize the relationship.
"Okay then, let's just leave it at that. I'll go back now." Mingyue said with a smile, feeling instantly relieved. However, she was secretly cautious and did not immediately tell the village head and his wife that Liu Dadong would not allow her to go to a prestigious university.
Aunt Xiu held Mingyue's arm and advised her: "I have already cooked the meal. You can call your old man over and eat together. I don't want you to go back and cook again."
Mingyue shook her head: "Forget it today. I'm not being polite. I'll trouble you many times in the future. I'll go back and tell my dad first."
Aunt Xiu glanced at her husband and let go of his hand: "Okay, if you have anything to say, tell us. Don't treat us as outsiders."
Mingyue naturally nodded: "I understand."
Then she left the village chief's house and walked towards her own home.
