Chapter 003: Are they a good match?

the other side.

Gu Xiaoxi was in the kitchen, holding a brand new bowl and grinning.

She never imagined that the bowl she had just accidentally broken would inexplicably end up in the old items storage in the jade pendant space.

Then, she saw the second-hand goods warehouse and the new product showroom suddenly connected in a white light and turned into a huge balance scale.

The balance tray containing the broken bowl tilted and slid to the right tray.

It is this transformation that instantly turns the broken bowl into a new one.

The white light faded away, and the new bowl appeared in the new product showroom. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the bowl was in her hand.

It’s just…amazing!

She has become the chosen one!

So...so exciting!

A new bowl looked strange, so she thought about it and decided to throw all the bowls, plates and chopsticks in the house into the junk storage.

When I brought him out again, the tableware in the house had been replaced. It was so clean and new that it seemed like you could see your reflection in it.

It looks even smoother and better quality than when I first bought it!

After looking around, she replaced the dull knife on the chopping board with a new one.

Then there is the big iron pot that has been used for more than 20 years, the thermos for water, the worn-out rags in the kitchen, and the old carved cupboard that is difficult to clean.

After changing these, the kitchen has been completely renewed.

No matter how much more there was, she didn't dare to move!

She cooked a bowl of noodles, brought it to the living room, and ate it slowly.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking sound outside, followed by someone shouting.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! Mrs. Gu's house is on fire..."

Gu Xiaoxi's eating movements suddenly paused.

Mrs. Gu? Isn't that your grandparents' house?

According to the developments in the previous two lives, shouldn't this fire occur three days later?

Moreover, the fire was set by my third uncle.

Just because he asked grandma for money and grandma didn't give him any.

Why is it early this time?

She went out to check the first two times, and actually not much of the house was burned. Only half of the room where her grandparents lived was burned.

It is said that the biggest loss was that the wardrobe where grandma hid her money was burned, and all the money she had saved over the past few decades was burned, so my grandparents were sad for a long time.

However, this time she decided not to join in the fun and continued to eat noodles!

Anyway, her grandparents favored her third uncle and eldest uncle's family and didn't like her mother and her. If she went there, she would just be treated as a punching bag and scolded.

Just after finishing the noodles, I saw my mother coming back carrying a lot of bags.

"Xiaoxi, put these dishes in the kitchen. I'll go to your grandma's place to check on her and be back soon."

Gu Xiaoxi stopped her, "Mom, don't go. If you go, grandma will dislike you and say that this family has been unlucky since you were married. If there are more people in the family, you don't go to the hospital and get bad luck, and the house won't catch fire."

Jiang Xiuqing stared at her daughter in astonishment. "Why do you say that? Did you hear them cursing?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded obediently, "Yes, when the fire started, I was outside listening to what was going on before I came back. We won't do such a thankless job. Grandma has always been dissatisfied with you taking care of grandpa in the hospital."

Jiang Xiuqing's heart suddenly sank, and she said in a sullen tone, "Forget it, I won't go!"

She is an only child. Her mother passed away a few years ago. Now her father is the only one at home. It is impossible for her to just ignore him.

What's more, his father suffered a great crime and was injured this time.

She turned around and went into the kitchen carrying her things.

Rather than dealing with the two elders of the Gu family, she cared more about the meeting between the two families tonight.

If nothing else, she has to cook this meal well to let others see how much they value it!

But just as she put down her things, she heard Director Wang's voice from outside the door.

"Is Xiuqing at home?"

Jiang Xiuqing and Gu Xiaoxi came out almost at the same time.

Gu Xiaoxi saw Lu Jiansen standing outside the courtyard gate almost at first glance.

He is tall and has a strong presence in his military uniform. He is handsome and can't be ignored.

Standing next to Lu Jiansen was a middle-aged couple, the man was gentle and the woman was beautiful and gentle.

Director Wang, who was standing at the front, had already opened the door and started introducing Jiang Xiuqing.

At this time, Lu Jiansen was also looking at the girl who had been crying because of his torture last night. During the day, she looked more petite, more delicate, and younger than at night!

As he got closer, he immediately saw the red mark on the girl's ear that was intentionally covered by her hair.

The first button of her white shirt was buttoned tightly, and she seemed to have a thin silk scarf wrapped around her neck. He immediately knew what she was hiding.

His ears felt a little hot and he was secretly annoyed with himself for being so indulgent last night.

Wei Mingyu saw that her nephew couldn't take his eyes off the girl when he saw her, and didn't care what they were talking about with the girl's mother, so she smiled and squeezed her eyes at Jiang Xiuqing.

"Sister Xiuqing, do you think they are a good match?"

Jiang Xiuqing was a little uncomfortable with Wei Mingyu's familiar way of addressing her, but this young man named Lu Jiansen was indeed good-looking and talented.

He also seems to have a good impression of his daughter!

Thinking of this, she smiled politely and said, "You guys go inside and sit down first. I'll go call Xiaoxi's father back!"

Director Wang immediately took up the task, "You greet the guests, I'll go and call people for you!"

Jiang Xiuqing was a little helpless. She actually wanted to take a break and have a chat with her husband first.

But Director Wang was so enthusiastic, so she had to trouble him and greet the guests herself.

Wei Mingyu saw that her nephew just stared at the girl without saying anything, so she said something before entering the house.

"Xiao Sen, don't you want to say something?"

Lu Jiansen came back to his senses and stood in a military posture, saying very seriously: "My name is Lu Jiansen, I am 25 years old this year. I work in the Northern Military Region, my rank is battalion commander, I have no bad habits, and my monthly allowance is 70 yuan. In the future, my salary and family savings can be handed over to you for management..."

Gu Xiaoxi stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jiang Xiuqing, who was pouring tea, was startled when she heard this.

Is this Army battalion commander interested in Xiaoxi and is he eager to express his opinion?

Wei Mingyu burst out laughing when he heard this.

I didn't expect that this guy is usually silent and gets annoyed when he sees a woman, as if he has an incompatible body towards women. He would be so silly when he meets a girl he likes.

Yan Xueqi at the side coughed lightly, then looked at his wife helplessly, and then said to Jiang Xiuqing: "Jiansen is an upright, responsible, and capable child. His family has always been troubled by his marriage, but he just won't let it go. This is the first time he likes a little girl. His parents are in Kyoto and can't come here in time, so my wife and I have to come."

"Jiansen's father was also a soldier, and his mother worked in the Cultural Bureau. Jiansen is the eldest of three children in the family, with two younger brothers, one in the army and the other a doctor."

When Jiang Xiuqing heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this family is not a simple one!

They are marrying above their station!

She works in a state-owned hotel and Xiaoxi's father works in a machinery factory. They are just an ordinary working-class family.

However, in her eyes, her daughter is smart and well-behaved, pretty and filial, good in every way, and there is no problem of not being worthy of her!

When Gu Yimin came back, he found that the child's mother was already discussing the engagement of the two children with Yan Xueqi and Wei Mingyu.

He quickly joined the group chat without feeling involved at all!

Half an hour later, with mixed feelings, he agreed to let the two children get engaged first.

Just when the four elders were discussing choosing an auspicious day, Lu Jiansen immediately raised his objection.

"Uncle, Aunt, what I mean is that we should get engaged tomorrow and get married right after my marriage report comes down. Let Xiaoxi follow me in the army! I only have seven days of vacation left, and I don't know when the next family visit will be."

He doesn't want to delay any longer!

The little girl is his now, and the problem must be solved as quickly as possible.

"This... is so urgent?" Jiang Xiuqing was a little confused.
