Chapter 74 -74: How Can You Rest Assured?
“Don’t forget to also buy Li Bao a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio for the family back home. If the money I gave you isn’t enough, just cover it yourself for now, and later I’ll have your mom pay you back.”
As parents, naturally they need to prepare a wedding dowry for their beloved daughter’s marriage, but traveling from Aoli Village to North City is quite a distance. It would undoubtedly be inconvenient to bring the dowry with them,
hence, Captain Kang and his wife discussed and, through Director Wu, managed to obtain a sewing machine coupon, a bicycle coupon, and a radio coupon. It cost a fair amount of money, but neither of the Captain’s eyes even blinked.
Kang Guosheng: “I won’t forget.”
“Then that’s settled. Your big brother and I will be leaving now.”
Having said that, Captain Kang signaled Big Brother Kang to follow, and the two headed towards the ticket checkpoint.
…
“Dad, why are we leaving in such a hurry? And… and Dad, did you forget to hand over the dowry that the family prepared for Li Bao, and that’s why you asked your second son to help us while sending him…

As they boarded the train, Big Brother Kang, seeing no change in Captain Kang’s expression, couldn’t help but voice his doubts.
“It’s the busy farming season, and being the team leader, do you think I can stay away from home? As for whether I forgot to give Li Bao the dowry we prepared at home, that’s not the case.”
Captain Kang gazed through the half-open train window at the people coming and going on the platform and spoke unhurriedly: “After the incident with the Zhou Family, Li Bao has changed a bit. If I had given the dowry directly to her, are you sure she would have accepted it?”
Upon hearing his words, Big Brother Kang almost blurted out: “Most likely not.”
“Had it not been for that incident with the Zhou Family, Li Bao might have accepted it. But you’ve seen how she has changed. She’s no longer as naive as before, understands to be considerate of the family,
knows how to keep her concerns to herself. Once she saw those coupons in my hand, I’m sure she wouldn’t have accepted them. Luckily, your second brother came to North City to visit Li Bao, so I took the opportunity to have him handle the dowry for her,
thus preventing those at the courtyard from thinking less of your sister and gossiping behind her back, suggesting that she had no dowry and was a burden to your brother-in-law, and thereby hurting your sister.”
Actually, if Kang Guosheng and his wife hadn’t appeared, Captain Kang had already planned, before leaving the courtyard and heading back to his hometown, to stop by the Song Family’s place, keep the “dowry” prepared for Kang Li with Mrs. Qi, and ask Mrs. Qi to find someone to buy it and send it directly to the Luo Family.
As for not helping his darling daughter buy a washing machine at the department store, Captain Kang had also thought of asking Mrs. Qi for help.
After all, back in his hometown, Captain Kang had never even heard of a washing machine, even though he considered himself quite knowledgeable,
he had never heard anyone mention that department stores in the city sold washing machines, so he felt that he probably wouldn’t be much help and thus didn’t even bring up going to the department store.
After hesitating for a while, Big Brother Kang asked, “Dad, you’re actually still worried about Li Bao, aren’t you?”
“How could I not be?”
Captain Kang’s expression was melancholic: “Your sister has never left home since she was little. Although she’s become more composed than before, she’s still young and rather naive, and I’m afraid she’ll suffer silently without us knowing.”
Feeling somewhat heavy-hearted but still trying to offer reassurance, Big Brother Kang said, “Isn’t Little Wu here? He will help us take good care of Li Bao.”
“Your younger brother has his job to worry about; how much time can he spare to look after Li Bao? Anyway, every fledgling will soar in the skies one day. No matter what, your sister has grown up, and we need to learn to let go, letting her face the path she has to walk by herself.”
