In rural areas, it's customary for parents to follow their eldest child, so Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin certainly wouldn't go to Beicheng to settle down with Lin Shengli.
If they go, it would be a huge embarrassment for the boss.
Besides, they are old and reluctant to leave their homeland; they would never leave their hometown to settle in a big city.
Seeing the disappointment in her son's eyes, Grandma Lin smiled and said, "Going on a trip occasionally is still fine."
She heard the term from Lin Yu; calling going out for fun "tourism" sounds more sophisticated.
Lin Shengli smiled and said, "Okay, then let's all go to Beicheng for the New Year this time. We might also hold Xiaoyu's wedding before the New Year."
Lin Shengli gritted his teeth whenever this matter was mentioned.
Grandma Lin smiled and shook her head, saying, "Our in-laws have called us several times. They are easy to get along with. Xiao Gu is also very capable and a good match for Xiao Yu."
Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, and Lin Aiguo all thought highly of Gu Yunze.
If there is still no news from Lin Shengli, they will arrange a marriage between Lin Yu and the Gu family on his behalf.
Lin Shengli knew, of course, that the Gu family was a good in-law family, but he just couldn't bear to part with his daughter.
The child hadn't been by his side for long before she was getting married, and he felt terrible about it.
Grandma Lin glared at him and said, "Don't you think about it? Xiaoyu is already in her twenties. If she doesn't get married soon, she'll become an old maid. We can't let this drag on any longer."
Lin Shengli disagreed, saying, "Mother, that's an outdated idea of yours. Even if she's thirty, she's not that old."
"Fine, so what if she's an old maid? Her mother and I can still support her."
Shen Zhinian agreed with her husband, saying, "Xiaoyu can get married anytime, or she can choose not to. Mother, we don't need to rush."
Although she likes Gu Yunze as her son-in-law, it doesn't mean she should belittle her own daughter because of it.
Age doesn't matter.
Most importantly, it's her daughter's own wish.
Seeing that the couple were both doting fathers to their daughter, Grandma Lin shook her head and stopped talking about their age: "So, when is the wedding?"
........
Gu Yunze is also in a hurry to get married.
He waited and waited, hoping and hoping, but dared not urge Lin Shengli and his wife.
Finally, just as Lin Yu finished her final exams, she received news that Lin Shengli's family was about to arrive in Beicheng!
"Mom, you should start preparing for my wedding now."
This was the tenth time Gu Yunze had said it to Li Huizhu.
Li Huizhu was annoyed by what she heard and said like she was shooing away a fly, "I know, you should leave now and stop nagging me. Go and win over your future in-laws first."
She patted her son on the shoulder: "If the in-laws don't want to talk about marriage, there's no point in me preparing."
Li Huizhu had noticed last time that the Lin family was reluctant to part with their daughter, so she sent this silly boy to ask them what they thought first.
It would be even better if the Lin family wanted to make things difficult for him.
This kid probably won't have time to keep nagging her, and she'll finally get some peace and quiet.
That's why they say distance makes things better and proximity makes things worse. When her son wasn't around, she was worried sick, but when he came back injured, she was always there to comfort him.
But once he recovered, he kept talking about getting married, which annoyed Li Huizhu to no end.
They couldn't wait for him to leave.
Gu Yunze had no idea that his mother disliked him. After hearing what she said, he decided to go to his parents-in-law's house to try and win them over first.
If the parents-in-law are happy, isn't Xiaoyu happy too?
By the time the Lin family arrived in Beicheng, Lin Shengli's house had already been renovated and decorated by Lin Yu.
This time, almost the entire Lin family was mobilized for Lin Yu's wedding.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, the whole family from the eldest branch of the family, and the whole family from the second branch of the family, all came to the North City.
When Gu Yunze knocked on the door, he almost thought he had returned to the farmhouse in Lianhua Brigade.
Now he has even more people to please.
Besides my dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, there was also my highly respected Uncle Lin, and my two oldest relatives, my grandparents.
Fortunately, both Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin liked Gu Yunze very much, and Lin Aiguo also admired Gu Yunze.
Therefore, he received similar treatment from the Lin family as before.
Gu Yunze felt the Lin family's politeness and respect, and while he was happy, he was also dissatisfied.
He didn't want to be a guest; he wanted to be part of their family.
Therefore, he ran up and down even more diligently.
During Lin Yu's exam period, he accompanied the Lin family on various trips.
Not only did we visit all the famous historical sites in the northern part of the city, we also took a few children to visit a university.
Lin Yi liked this brother-in-law even more.
Looking at these magnificent and grand school buildings, he became determined to get into the university here.
Another child who was moved was Xiao Bao. He was very sad when he learned that Lin Yu's family would be settling in Beicheng.
But after visiting the university, he thought, if he could get into this university like his second sister, wouldn't he be closer to her?
Of all the children in the family, Xiao Bao is the one Lin Yu is closest to.
So when Lin Yu finished her exams and moved into the yard, the first child she hugged was Lin Xiaobao.
Lin Xiaobao, who is eleven years old this year, is still a bit shy. He blushed with embarrassment when Lin Yu held him in her arms.
Lin Yu asked him, "Has Xiao Bao missed me?"
Xiao Bao nodded and said he had thought about it, then quietly told him his thoughts.
Lin Yu patted his head and said, "Then you should study hard and try to come to Beicheng as soon as possible, so we can play together in the future."
Xiao Bao happily agreed.
Lin Yu was so happy to see her family that she completely forgot about Gu Yunze.
Since starting university, she has been busy studying and making money, and hasn't seen her family for a long time.
She took Grandma Lin's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma, why don't you stay here and keep me company instead of going back?"
The old woman is getting old, and she's afraid that every time she sees her grandmother, it will be the last. She wishes her grandmother could be by her side.
Grandma Lin smiled with relief, but still refused.
The northern city is nice, but it's not her home.
Like Lin Shengli, Lin Yu was helpless but had no choice but to listen to her.
"Mom, I think it's fine here. What's so great about the countryside that you insist on going back?"
Wang Zhaodi really likes Beicheng. If she were the mother-in-law, she definitely wouldn't go back.
Lin Jianguo tugged at her: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. If Mother lives in the North City, how can my elder brother and I fulfill our filial duties?"
Wang Zhaodi rolled her eyes at him: "You're so short-sighted. Our daughter is here, and our son will come in the future. Can't we come along too?"
Lin Jianguo frowned: "You just have to cause trouble for the child."
“How is this causing trouble? Aren’t they my own children and the ones I raised? It’s only natural for children to be filial to us.”
Wang Zhaodi's utilitarian motives in raising children are crystal clear; she intends to rely on them for support in the future.
Lin Jianguo never considered settling down in a big city with his children; he just wanted to stay in his hometown.
The two disagreed and almost got into an argument.
Lin Yu quickly stopped her, saying, "It's not even close to being settled yet, what's the point of arguing?"
