The next day, Gu Ye carried the local specialties he brought from Beijing, along with four gift boxes he bought from the department store, and headed towards the Lin family's house.
It was worktime, and there were quite a few people on the road. Seeing the Gu brothers carrying their things, they started talking about it again.
"Baoni from the Lin family is really going to be lucky! She's going to marry a military officer and then she'll be eating government-supplied food!" a young wife said enviously to her sister-in-law.
"So what? She kissed a man in public, her reputation is ruined!" That's such a sour remark.
The young wife couldn't help but roll her eyes. You might want to kiss me, but you don't have the ability!
"Tch, what's so great about her? With Lin Baoni's fiery temper and strength, she can eat more than a man in one meal. She might not even last three days before she's returned." Wang Daya was furious. Why was Li Daya so lucky?
Her son has joined the army, and her daughter is going to marry a military officer. She's got all the good things in the world, and she's not afraid that she'll be too blessed to handle.
"Wang Daya, aren't you afraid Bao Ni's mother will tear your mouth apart? You're still here badmouthing Bao Ni, you've got some nerve!" A woman from the third team, who was watching the commotion and wasn't afraid of making things worse, kept stirring things up.
"Did you hear that? Be nicer to Comrade Lin from now on. She sacrificed so much to save you!" Gu Ze was truly grateful to Comrade Lin. If it weren't for her, Gu Ye might have really died on the battlefield.
"Grandpa Lin, this is my brother Gu Ze." Gu Ye had just arrived at the Lin family's door when he ran into Grandpa Lin and the others coming out, and he quickly greeted them.
"Hello, Grandpa Lin. I'm Brother Gu Ye. I apologize for coming without prior notice." Gu Ze restrained his imposing manner and adopted a humble attitude to leave a good impression.
"Brother Gu, come in quickly. Bonnie, we have a guest. Pour some tea." Grandpa Lin ushered the guest into the courtyard and asked Bonnie to pour tea.
Bonnie heard someone coming, but couldn't make out who it was. Where was the tea? Bonnie wandered around the kitchen for a long time, but couldn't find anything.
"What will you do in the future?" Grandma looked at her granddaughter wandering around the kitchen and shook her head helplessly.
Bonnie said with a grin, "Isn't there Grandma?"
"You," Grandma gently tapped Bonnie's forehead with her finger.
Outside, Gu Ze was talking to Grandpa Lin. Lin's father and the others went to work first, which couldn't be delayed, especially Lin's father, who, as the team leader, had a lot to do every day.
When Lin Baoni brought out the tea, Gu Ze was stunned. How did Gu Ye learn Chinese? He thought Rouwanzi was a very fat woman, but it turns out she wasn't fat at all!
"Comrade Lin Baoni, this is my elder brother Gu Ze," Gu Ye said, standing up.
"Hello, Brother Gu, I'm Lin Baoni." Lin Baoni put down her teacup and quickly greeted him. It was her first time meeting his parents, and she was a little nervous.
"Hello, on behalf of my whole family, I thank Comrade Lin for saving Gu Ye and for being willing to marry him and form a family."
Gu Ze's gratitude was heartfelt.
Gu Ze said that the main purpose of his visit was for the two families to meet and get to know each other, and also to see if they could set a wedding date. Due to his profession, he could not stay for too long.
Grandpa Lin said, "Now that we've broken with feudal superstitions, we don't care about so many things anymore. Whether life is good or bad depends on how people live it, not on the wedding date."
Finally, Gu Ye and his family agreed to send the betrothal gifts and dowry tomorrow, and hold the wedding the day after tomorrow.
The matter was settled, and Gu Ye and the others didn't stay for dinner. Time was tight, and they had many things to do!
Lin Baoni's major life event was thus decided when she was 19 years old.
