Shen Tingci stopped talking and asked, "Is there anything you need to take back?"

Gu Shuhe also shook his head, "I always bring things out from home and bring things back home, no."

There was another sentence that Gu Shuhe swallowed back, which was that Shen Tingci had not given her his sister's old things recently, so she had nothing to take.

Otherwise you can still bring it.

Of course Shen Tingci didn’t know this, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

But he didn't leave immediately. He stood by the counter, silent for a while, and then asked, "You will listen to your parents about your marriage, right?"

Gu Shuhe nodded.

"My parents are older and know more than me."

"And they won't hurt me."

Shen Tingci thought about it and asked again, "What if you don't like that person?"

"My parents are very nice to me. They won't force me even if I don't like it," Gu Shuhe said as a matter of course.

Shen Tingci explained, “That’s not what I meant.”

"...I, I'm going to your house to propose marriage again tomorrow." Minister Shen usually never paused when speaking at work, and today he stumbled for once. "I hope it won't cause you any trouble."

His original intention was to cultivate the relationship between the two of them first.

But with Gu Shuhe's words "no free love", he had no choice but to give up this path.

When he mentioned proposing marriage, Gu Shuhe blushed, but shook her head, "No...it doesn't bother me." However, she honestly told him, "But my family doesn't think you're suitable."

"I... I don't have anything good either. If you don't like it, you'd better not go!" Gu Shuhe didn't think about getting married now.

She goes to work and comes home from get off work every day, and is quite happy being alone.

And she will soon have nephews, two at that, so she can take care of them during holidays and not be bored at all.

So at Gu Shuhe's age, he really has no idea about getting married.

She just has pure feelings and has not yet developed any understanding.

Shen Tingci suspected that she was rejecting him politely, but looking at her clear eyes, he knew that she didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind. Maybe she really was thinking about him.

Although she was thoughtful, he didn't really appreciate it.

Shen Tingci looked at Gu Shuhe, whose face was no longer red. "Is being good-looking an advantage?"

Gu Shuhe nodded immediately and said, "Well, you are quite...good-looking." Gu Shuhe blushed while praising others.

She felt her comments were a bit frivolous, but she was telling the truth.

Of course, her words also made Shen Tingci, who usually had a blank expression, blush.

"Ahem," not only did he blush, but he was also at a loss for words.

Chen Tingci is a man who was born and raised in this era. People in this era are shy to express their emotions, and few people praise or criticize a man's appearance. What they usually mention is his ability.

So when she was praised for her good looks, Shen Tingci really blushed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

After coughing for a while, Shen Tingci finally found his voice, "...I'm not talking about myself."

"ah?"

"When I said you were good-looking, I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about... you!"

"Ah?" Gu Shuhe was still surprised, and then embarrassed. She waved her hands and said, "I... I'm not good-looking. I'm not good-looking in our family!"

She spoke sincerely.

Shen Tingci “…”

It seems that the girl has some misunderstanding about her appearance.

Shen Tingci thought of Gu Yanli and Lin Jinghui whom he had met, including Wen Tang, the eldest sister-in-law. He had not seen many of the younger generation of the Gu family, but as far as these people were concerned, they all had outstanding looks.

In terms of appearance, it is no exaggeration to say that she crushes 99 percent of people.

But even so, it cannot change the fact that Gu Shuhe herself is a great beauty!

Although she is beautiful but she doesn't know it.

Although there were many compliments for Gu Shuhe's appearance, Shen Tingci was embarrassed to say it out loud. He was a man born and raised in this era, and his family education environment was there. Although he said that he was a modern thinker, he never said many things that were beyond the rules.

He also didn't want others to think he was a frivolous person.

He simply said, "It counts with me!"

Gu Shuhe blushed and was speechless.

Seeing her blushing face, Shen Tingci wanted to raise his hand to rub her head and look at the bright world outside, but gave up.

Just say "If you don't go back tomorrow, I will go back first."

Gu Shuhe blushed and nodded.

On the third day, Shen Tingci took Wei Hongtao to Gu's house.

The interaction between Gu Yanli and Wei Hongtao that day showed that they had a good relationship.

Shen Tingci thought it might be better to let Wei Hongtao help speak up!

Shen Tingci found Wei Hongtao. Although he knew in his heart that Wei Hongtao probably already knew the situation between him and the Gu family, Shen Tingci still chose to tell it again.

"Actually, I'm a little embarrassed that I bothered Director Wei again for such a small matter."

He spoke modestly, but Wei Hongtao did not think it was a trivial matter.

Moreover, Shen Tingci was willing to look for him because he was giving him face.

Moreover, after Gu Yanli tested him that day, he was obviously satisfied with Shen Tingci.

Wei Hongtao could earn a favor by going along with it, so why would he not agree!

Wei Hongtao got in Shen Tingci's car heading to Gu's house. Just before getting in the car, he carried some things in his hands.

Shen Tingci looked very embarrassed and said, "It's my fault. I didn't tell Director Wei in advance that I actually bought some things."

Wei Hongtao immediately shook his head. "Yan Li has come to see me several times, but this is my first time going to their house. My uncle and aunt are here, and as a junior, I can't not prepare something."

"Minister Shen's is Minister Shen's. I can't use Minister Shen's flowers to offer to Buddha."

Shen Tingci did help him prepare things, but he also knew that even if he told him in advance, Wei Hongtao would still prepare them.

Wei Hongtao would not be so careless as to use the things he prepared to give to the parents of his comrades.

As for the favor I owe Wei Hongtao, there will be plenty of opportunities to repay it in my future work.

So Shen Tingci didn't say anything more, just smiled and said, "Then I won't argue with Director Wei about this."

Shen Tingci opened the car door and let Wei Hongtao put the things in, then drove away with the people.

It was past nine o'clock when they arrived at Gu's house.

The Gu family's small workshop had already started working.

Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng, father-in-law and son-in-law, are processing the soapberries they have harvested.

Gu Yanli is washing the pot!

Wen Tang got up late and ate late too. He had just finished eating, so Gu Yanli was washing the pot.

The car stopped by the kitchen window. Gu Yanli washed the dishes in his hands while paying attention to the movements outside.

Then he saw Wei Hongtao getting out of the car through the half-open window.

Originally, if only Shen Tingci came over, Gu Yanli was going to extend the time it took to wash the dishes.

He had to let Shen Tingci see the airs of his mother's family, otherwise he would think that his family was trying to get him out!

But because Wei Hongtao followed...

Gu Yanli held the bowl in his hand, bent down, and shouted through the window, "Company Commander!"
