Chapter 496 Reunion

Gu Yuehuai didn't hide it, she tightened her hand with Yan Shaoyu, smiled and said happily: "My man, we got the marriage certificate! We will have a wedding banquet soon, and all the uncles, aunts, and grandpas will come!"

Gu Tinghuai, who was watching this scene, felt a little sad again.

Bai Mei was very surprised. She and Gu Yuehuai had known each other for quite some time, but she had always been calm, composed and indifferent. She could handle any problem easily without requiring others to worry about her, making people unconsciously forget her age.

But when she was with Yan Shaoyu, she seemed to have regained her true nature. Her posture and expression were much sweeter than that of a girl in love. It seemed that she really liked Yan Shaoyu.

After getting Gu Yuehuai's confirmation, everyone looked at each other in surprise. He got the certificate without any announcement?

An old lady didn't even eat the sweet potatoes in her bowl. She looked at Yan Shaoyu and asked curiously, "Young man, what do you do? Do you have a proper job? Miss Gu is the daughter that Old Gu loves the most. She can't marry him...right?"

She muttered to herself that if she had a daughter this beautiful, she would definitely marry her to a city dweller.

The old lady didn't finish her words, but everyone could hear what she meant. Everyone could see how good Gu Zhifeng was to her little girl. When she looked like a fat pig, everyone felt sorry for her like a porcelain doll, let alone now.

Yan Shaoyu said frankly: "I'm a soldier."

A soldier? Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of pity. In this era, the families of soldiers are not very well off, and the allowances for new soldiers are not much, only a few dollars a month, not to mention supporting the family, it is not enough for their own spending. Moreover, the two will be separated in the future, and the girl from the Gu family is so beautiful, who knows what will happen.

"Nier, a soldier can't stay at home every day. You have to think about it carefully."

"Yes, I heard that the monthly allowance for new recruits is only a few dollars. What can that do? Gu girl, you can't just make a decision based on the face. This is a major event in a woman's life. Auntie tells you, think about it more!"

“…”

Country people are like this, they always think about this and that based on their own subjective consciousness.

Gu Yuehuai looked at everyone's disapproving expressions, pursed his lips, and raised his chin slightly: "My man was fighting the foreign devils from Country M on the front line some time ago, and he won the battle! You need to know that now everyone can sit under the tree and eat leisurely, it is the peace brought by the soldiers on the front line. Don't look down on people when you mention being a soldier."

After saying that, Gu Yuehuai pulled Yan Shaoyu and turned around to walk away. After walking a few steps, he did not forget to turn back and said sarcastically, "By the way, when I get married and hold the banquet, you uncles and aunts don't have to come."

Her words really humiliated everyone and made them blush.

On the way home, Bai Mei burst into laughter: "Yue Huai, you are really amazing."

She had been fed up with the gossips of these women in the village since she was a child. Whenever she encountered them, she had to take a detour for fear that she would become the central argument of the entire team. She didn't expect that Gu Yuehuai would take a different approach and directly give them a taste of their own medicine.

Gu Tinghuai also laughed and said, "Nannan is really worried that Shaoyu will suffer the slightest injustice."

When he said this, his tone was full of emotion and complexity. Now he no longer felt sad in his heart, but just heavy.

Ever since Gu Yuehuai took on the responsibility of supporting the family, it seemed as if everyone in the family was under her protection. Now that she is married, she also protects her man. Obviously, she is the one who needs to be protected.

Bai Mei understood the hidden meaning of Gu Tinghuai's words and said softly, "Shao Yu will definitely not let Yue Huai suffer any grievances in the future."

Although she couldn't read people, she knew that since she met Yan Shaoyu, his eyes had never left Yue Huai. This kind of feeling could not be formed overnight. Moreover, although his eyes were cold, they were very upright. He was not the kind of person who would go around in circles.

Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything, but Yan Shaoyu whispered, "Well, I won't let her suffer any injustice."

With Gu Yuehuai's current abilities, there aren't many things that could make her suffer injustice.

However, he knew that she had her own secrets, which seemed to be a secret she had been carrying for a long time and could not tell anyone. He would not deliberately ask about it, but only hoped that he could help her one day.

When the four of them returned home, dinner was already ready. It was made by Yan Shaoli.

The atmosphere at home was a bit depressing. Gu Zhifeng sat at the head of the bed, Yan Shaoli sat in the yard holding Yan Shaotang, Gu Xihuaihe and Yan Shaoyang were reading books with the help of kerosene lamps. No one made a sound in the huge new house; it was surprisingly quiet.

Until the silence was broken by Yan Shaotang's joyful voice: "Sister! Sister is back! Back!"

Yan Shaoli looked up suddenly, and when she saw Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu walking towards her holding hands, tears started to fall from her eyes. She cried and laughed, and ran towards them. She first hugged Gu Yuehuai, and then hugged Yan Shaoyu, in a panic.

"Brother and sister-in-law, how are you? Are you okay?" She learned from her second brother that the two of them had gone to the front line. She cried herself to sleep every night, fearing that something might happen to them and they would not be able to come back, and then their family would really be broken up.

Although my sister-in-law is not very old, she is their indispensable backbone!

And the eldest brother is the pillar of his sister-in-law, and it won’t be good if anything happens to either of them!

Gu Yuehuai reached out to wipe away the tears on her face and softened his voice: "It's okay, why are you crying? Aren't we all back now?"

The people in the room also heard the noise, and they all opened the curtains and came out. When Gu Zhifeng saw Gu Yuehuai, his old eyes turned red and he almost couldn't hold back his tears. He sniffed and finally just said, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."

"Dad, it's my fault. I didn't tell you before..." Looking at Gu Zhifeng's slightly red eyes, Gu Yuehuai pursed her lips and felt a little uncomfortable. However, Yan Shaoyu was in danger at that time. If she didn't go, something might really happen.

"It's okay. It's more important for you and Shao Yu to return home safely. Let's go in." Gu Zhifeng waved her hand and invited everyone into the house. It was the first time for the whole family, young and old, to sit together in the new house to eat.

Yan Shaoyu looked at the house that he had built with great care, and felt a little emotional in his heart. He really married a strong woman.

He turned to look at Yan Shaoyang, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, with a smile on his face: "Are you all right?"

Yan Shaoyang's eyes turned red and he nodded heavily: "Everything is fine, thanks to my sister-in-law."

In his heart, his elder brother and sister-in-law are on an equal footing, and he hopes that they can be together forever and never be separated.

Yan Shaoyu understood what he meant, raised his thin lips slightly, and nodded: "I know."

In order to celebrate the reunion tonight, Gu Yuehuai specially cooked a few more dishes, filling the table with dishes.

After everyone sat down, Gu Yuehuai couldn't help but talk about the things on the front line, but he omitted all the processes. When he finally talked about Yan Shaoyu and his own military rank, there was silence at the table and everyone could hardly hold the cup in their hands.

Major? Lieutenant? Their whole family is sitting with the officers now?
