Chapter 74 Would you like to go to the South with me?
It was the first time that a young man confessed his love to her in public. Moreover, this man was a man that Jiang Meihua liked a little. She became a little flustered and at a loss.

Her heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible hand, making her feel extremely nervous and uneasy.

Faced with Tai Wenguang's question, she had no idea how to respond.

"Meihua, what do you think of me?" Tai Wenguang saw Jiang Meihua staring at him blankly and couldn't help but ask softly.

Jiang Meihua lowered her head and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz, "Okay... not bad."

However, despite the low sound, Tai Wenguang still captured it keenly.

He was extremely excited and kept rubbing his hands together, staring at Jiang Meihua, who was blushing and pinching her fingers with her head down.

His eyes were gentle as he said, "In fact, when I went to your village team last spring and you asked me about the precautions for feeding cowboys, I started to pay attention to you. At that time, I thought that this girl was gentle and pretty, and it would be great if I could date her. Unfortunately, there was no suitable opportunity to meet you in your village team again. Fortunately, you came to town."

Jiang Meihua raised her head, blinked her eyes, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you report Song Liangdong's incident?"

Tai Wenguang suppressed his expression and snorted coldly, "How could a guy with such bad character be worthy of you? What's more, his behavior is not decent, and he deserves the punishment he deserves!"

It is indeed Tai Wenguang!
Jiang Meihua nodded gratefully and said softly, "Thank you."

Tai Wenguang suddenly laughed, "You're welcome, I want to help you! Besides, helping you is also like helping myself."

Hearing this, Jiang Meihua was very confused and asked curiously, "Help you?"

"Of course you are helping me! I have always wanted to date you, but that nasty scoundrel actually tried to force you to marry him. Of course I can't just sit there and watch. I have to teach him a lesson!" When he said this, Tai Wenguang became more and more agitated.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to continue expressing his feelings to Jiang Meihua, "Meihua, are you...are you willing to date me?"

At this moment, Jiang Meihua was excited, yet also filled with inferiority and anxiety.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak, "I come from the countryside and my family conditions are not very good. If I date you, will your family agree? After all, the gap between us is too big."

You know, Tai Wenguang is a person who has a commercial grain household registration and also serves as a secretary at a veterinary station. It can be said that he has a stable job.

In comparison, she was just an ordinary rural girl. Such a huge difference in identity and background made Jiang Meihua worried.

"In my home, I can make my own decisions about my own affairs, so you can rest assured." Tai Wenguang said in a firm and gentle tone.

He took a deep breath, gently extended his hand towards Jiang Meihua, and carefully held a finger.

Jiang Meihua's fingers moved but did not move away.

He turned his fingers and wrapped his big hand around her small hand.

Jiang Meihua raised her head and looked at Tai Wenguang, "Really?"

"Of course." Tai Wenguang said.

Looking at the artificial canal that was like a mirror in the night, counting the twinkling stars reflected on the water, Jiang Meihua listened to Tai Wenguang talking about future arrangements.

"Meihua, there is a special place on the southern coast, where a new policy is being implemented, called a special economic zone. This place is actively attracting all kinds of talents to participate in its construction. I plan to go there at the end of this year and start a new journey. Would you like to go with me?" Tai Wenguang looked at Jiang Meihua, his eyes full of expectation and tenderness. Jiang Meihua heard this, her eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "What is a special economic zone?"

Her voice revealed her confusion and curiosity about this new concept.

Tai Wenguang explained with a smile, "Special Economic Zones are specific areas set up by the state to promote economic development. They adopt some special policies and measures to attract investment and promote industrial upgrading and innovation. There, we may face many opportunities and challenges, but we also have the opportunity to realize our dreams. And——"

He held Jiang Meihua's hand and said, "Most of the talents who come there are from other places. They all start from scratch. There is no distinction between commercial grain and farmer grain. Everyone is equally called S Special Zone builders."

It was the first time that Jiang Meihua heard of the existence of such a place.

For her, who had never even been to City A, going to such a far southern region really made her feel at a loss.

She bit her lip and said, "I have never been to such a faraway place since I was a child. I want to discuss it with my eldest brother and his wife first."

Tai Wenguang nodded to show his understanding, and said, "This is a matter of course. I just told you my plan in advance. In addition, I want to visit your eldest brother and talk about the things between us. When do you think it would be a good day for me to go?"

Is it so soon to meet the parents?

Jiang Meihua couldn't help but feel a little excited, but she was more excited.

She thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's do it on Sunday. My eldest brother won't be going to City A to deliver food that day."

"Okay, I'll go there at nine o'clock on Sunday morning... But isn't nine o'clock too early? There might be a lot of people having breakfast in the shop at that time. Should I go there at half past ten?"

Unexpectedly, Tai Wenguang even considered these details, and Jiang Meihua couldn't help but like him more.

"There should be no customers around 10:30, so that's a good time to go," said Jiang Meihua.

After the discussion, Tai Wenguang told Jiang Meihua about his daily work and life, and the two left the river bank.

After watching Jiang Meihua enter the shop, Tai Wenguang left and went home.

Lights were on in the shop.

Liu Xihua had already taken Jiang Xiaoxiao to bed, and Jiang Daguo and Jiang Meihua were sitting in the shop.

"Why did you take so long?" Jiang Daguo looked up at Jiang Meihua while recording the account book. He found that Jiang Meihua's face was ruddy and she looked in a good mood. He asked in confusion, "Why are you so happy? Did you pick up money?"

"Uh..." Jiang Meihua almost told her that Tai Wenguang had asked her out, but she thought that it was already dark now. If she told her brother that she and Tai Wenguang had been sitting on the riverbank together until now, he would probably scold her and would have a bad impression of Tai Wenguang.

She simply didn't say anything and decided to talk about it tomorrow.

"I talked to the granddaughter of the sales agency manager for a while, and the child dragged me to watch TV."

"What content?"

"The weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow."
