Chapter 322 He is willing to promise his future

When Wei Hongtao heard the sound, he looked around and saw the window.

Wei Hongtao leaned his head closer.

Then asked, "What are you doing?"

"Washing dishes!"

The two of them were talking by the window. Shen Tingci was too embarrassed to knock on the door, so he just stood behind Wei Hongtao and bent his legs and lowered his body, hoping that Gu Yanli could see him.

Gu Yanli saw him through the crack in the window, and nodded reluctantly at his trying hard smile.

Finally, because he felt embarrassed to leave the old company commander outside the door, Gu Yanli said, "Old company commander, wait a moment, I'll go open the door for you."

Gu Yanli's words clearly told Shen Tingci that even if you had not invited a noble person to follow you, it would not be so easy to enter my Gu family.

Gu Yanli went to open the door, and the two of them walked in carrying their things.

Gu Yanli stepped forward and took the things from Wei Hongtao's hand, "Why are you bringing things with you?"

"This is my first time here. Would it be ok if I don't buy something for my uncle and aunt?" Wei Hongtao said as he reached out to help take some things from Shen Tingci's hand.

Shen Tingci had a lot of bags and both of his hands were full.

What Wei Hongtao was carrying only took up half of his hand.

When the two men entered the room, Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng, who were in the yard, stopped what they were doing.

Shen Tingci and the others knew each other.

But they really didn't know Wei Hongtao.

Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng went to meet them.

As soon as the two came forward, Gu Yanli immediately introduced, "Dad, brother-in-law, this is my old company commander."

Gu Juyuan stretched out his hands and said, "Hello, leader!"

Wei Hongtao naturally did not dare to be arrogant and shook the hands of both of them with one hand.

But one of his hands...

Shen Tingci stretched out the hand that had just been brisk for a short while.

Wei Hongtao smiled apologetically, quickly gave him the things, and held Gu Juyuan's hands with both hands. "Uncle, hello, my name is Wei Hongtao, uncle, you can just call me Xiao Wei."

"Don't call me leader. I'm not an outsider. I changed my job early and haven't been in the army for many years. It was Yan Li who always respected me that called me old company commander. You can just call me Xiao Wei."

Although Wei Hongtao was very respectful to Gu Juyuan, Gu Juyuan could tell from his temperament and the way he dressed that even though the old company commander had retired, he was doing well now.

If it weren't for his son, or if it weren't for the matter of his daughter, this would be someone an old farmer like me would never be able to meet in my life.

So Gu Juyuan didn't dare to call someone "Xiao Wei".

Gu Juyuan just said affectionately, "Since you are not shy, I will call you Hong Tao!"

"You don't mind, do you?"

Wei Hongtao naturally shook his head, "You are Yan Li's father, which means you are my uncle. It is only natural for you to call me by my name!"

"Okay, okay, come in and sit down!"

"Lian Sheng, pour the tea quickly!"

Lin Liansheng originally saw Shen Tingci carrying a lot of things and wanted to help him carry them, but because of his father-in-law's words, he quickly ran to the main hall.

Wei Hongtao was welcomed into the main hall of the Gu family as a distinguished guest, with Shen Tingci following behind with things in his hands, like a follower.

Shen Tingci didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but Wei Hongtao was really embarrassed.

He felt that he was taking over the show.

So when Gu Juyuan pulled out a bench for him to sit on, he invited Shen Tingci “Minister Shen…”

Shen Tingci had just put down all the things, and there were red marks on his fair and slender hands because he had carried too many things.

Gu Juyuan also felt that something was wrong, and pointed at the bench, "Sit down!"

Shen Tingci nodded and went over, then sat with Wei Hongtao, both of them feeling a little restrained.

Lin Liansheng brewed the tea and Gu Yanli personally handed it to Wei Hongtao.

It was also handed to Chen Tingci, but it was handed to Wei Hongtao with two hands, and to Chen Tingci with one hand.

But Shen Tingci still stood up, took it with both hands, and said "Thank you!"

As soon as he took the tea, Wei Hongtao started talking, "Uncle, your house is so beautifully built. There are not many such houses in our county."

Gu Juyuan was very happy to be praised, but he also said honestly, "It's the child who has the ability, and my daughter-in-law who arranged it."

Wei Hongtao was surprised and gave a thumbs up, "Yan Li is a lucky man."

Gu Juyuan also smiled and nodded.

Wei Hongtao smiled and asked, "Uncle, this mission is considered completed, right?" (This means that all the children in the family are married, right?)

Gu Juyuan shook his head, "Not yet, I still have a daughter."

"There is also an old girl. That uncle is so lucky!"

Gu Juyuan also smiled and nodded, "The children are quite obedient," which was considered to be an acknowledgement of Wei Hongtao's statement about blessing.

Wei Hongtao asked again, "Have you decided yet?"

When Gu Juyuan heard this, he immediately glanced at Shen Tingci who was sitting next to Wei Hongtao.

Wei Hongtao also knew that Gu Juyuan knew why he came here, but some things had to be said and some procedures had to be followed.

Although everyone knows it.

Gu Juyuan only took a quick glance and shook his head, "Not yet!"

Wei Hongtao immediately pulled Shen Tingci beside him to show him to Gu Juyuan, "Uncle, how about our Minister Shen?"

"He's young and promising, he's not bad looking, and he's very down-to-earth. Would you mind if he became your son-in-law?"

Gu Juyuan glanced at Shen Tingci who was sitting next to Wei Hongtao again, and the old man sighed in his heart, what should he say?

He could only look at his son.

Gu Yanli, on the other hand, calmly continued the conversation, "How old is Minister Shen this year?"

"My sister is only twenty this year!"

He felt embarrassed to say anything to Wei Hongtao, but he could only say, "Minister Shen is a few years older, he is twenty-seven."

Gu Yanli glanced at Shen Tingci and smiled, “If you are more weak, you will be weak for a round.”

Shen Tingci picked up the teacup and drank the water.

Wei Hongtao could only try to smooth things over, "He's older, more stable, and now that he's married, he will definitely not let our sister suffer any grievances."

"Really?" Gu Yanli looked at Shen Tingci and asked back.

Shen Tingci raised his head from the cup and said, "Well, if one day I fail Shuhe, even if it means going against my own beliefs, I am willing to resign from all the jobs I hold."

He looked at Gu Yanli and said these words in a serious tone.

All this talk of beating and scolding is just empty talk.

But he was willing to promise his future.

A man may betray many things, but he will not betray his future.

Because power is the best cloak for men, they all understand this truth deeply.

After saying that, Shen Tingci added, “I can write down the evidence for this sentence.”

Shen Tingci was willing to write it, but as a middleman, Wei Hongtao naturally couldn't let the atmosphere remain so solemn, so he quickly smiled and smoothed things over, "Minister Shen is a very responsible person in his daily work, and he always keeps his word."

"Uncle and the others don't know you yet. When they get to know you better, they will know that what you said today is the truth without any falsehood."

Gu Yanli also raised the corners of his mouth for a moment, then quickly straightened them again, "The company commander said so, I believe him."

Shen Tingci also breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that he was right to bring Wei Hongtao with him.
