Chapter 497 Being Troubled by My Uncle
With a "gulp", Gu Zhifeng swallowed quietly and looked at her daughter and son-in-law carefully.
Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli were much calmer. After all, they had seen many colonel-level officers during the Yan family's heyday. However, the fact that Yan Shaoyu had become a major-level officer within just one year of joining the military district was enough to show his potential.
"Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations to you!" Yan Shaoyang raised his glass, which contained the fruit wine brewed by Gu Yuehuai.
Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu clinked glasses with him and drank the wine in their glasses.
Yan Shaoli didn't care about this. She asked emphatically, "Brother, you came back this time for the wedding, right?"
Whether in the countryside or in the city, holding a wedding is more convincing than getting a marriage certificate. Only after a real wedding, the sound of firecrackers, and a banquet are held, can you be considered a couple in the eyes of everyone.
Yan Shaoyu nodded and pondered for a moment: "Yes, this is the main reason for my return. The military marriage certificate has been obtained. After we get married and the wedding leave is over, your sister-in-law will also go to the military region with me to serve."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhifeng, who was originally immersed in the identities of her daughter and son-in-law as military officers, came back to her senses.
Although he didn't want his daughter to go to the military area, he had noticed these days that she really liked this boy.
As a father, he still hopes that she can get what she wants. He has always been doting on his daughter.
Although this is a major event concerning her life's happiness, he does not want to become an obstacle to her happiness. He believes that his daughter will be able to manage her own feelings and life after marriage and will not be like him.
This stems from his trust in his daughter. Moreover, although Yan Shaoyu is handsome, he has a calm temperament and is someone who can be trusted.
He looked at Yan Shaoyu, but didn't say anything to make things difficult. He said, "It's been delayed for too long. It's time to do it."
Gu Yuehuai looked at Gu Zhifeng in surprise. She thought that he would be difficult to talk to no matter what he said. After all, she was his only daughter, and her father-in-law had to act very arrogant. However, she didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to today.
Gu Zhifeng ignored her and looked at Yan Shaoyu, saying earnestly: "Shaoyu, my family only has this one daughter. She will go to the military region with you in the future. Please take good care of her. I am worried about a girl running so far away."
Yan Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Gu Zhifeng seriously: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, we are husband and wife. No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will stand in front of her. When the army is on vacation, we will come back."
Gu Zhifeng nodded with relief: "Uncle knows that you are a good person, I feel relieved to leave Yue Huai to you."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm for a moment. Gu Xihuai slurped a mouthful of noodles and said vaguely, "No, Shaoyu, you and my sister have already obtained a marriage certificate, why are you still calling me uncle? This is too formal. Just call me dad! Calling me brother is also fine."
Having said that, Gu Xihuai had an expression that showed he was just looking for fun.
He is about the same age as Yan Shaoyang. If Yan Shaoyu had not married Gu Yuehuai, he would never have called him brother.
Gu Yuehuai's mouth twitched, and he glared at Gu Xihuai unhappily: "Eating can't stop your mouth?"
Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli looked at each other and both smiled as they watched their eldest brother make a fool of himself.
Yan Shaoyu's expression was calm, without any trace of embarrassment or anger.
He stared at Gu Yuehuai, and said with a smile in his narrow eyes: "Dad, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, third brother."
There was not a single pause in his voice, and he responded readily without showing any sign of being embarrassed.
Gu Zhifeng grinned, a gleam of tears flashed in his tiger eyes. From now on, he has one more son!
Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei also had smiles on their faces and agreed one after another. Only Gu Xihuai smacked his lips and looked at Yan Shaoyu with admiration, as he remained calm in the face of such a situation. He was truly a real man.
Put yourself in his shoes. If one day he becomes the son-in-law of his father-in-law and is bullied by his uncle, well, no, he has to write a letter to Wei Lan to ask carefully whether her family has any difficult characters like brothers or sisters.
Although he was thinking, Gu Xihuai still raised his chin and said, "Let me tell you, Gu Yuehuai has had a good life since childhood. Three meals a day, fine grains and meat are indispensable, and the things that are necessary for marriage are also indispensable. Can you do that?"
He knew very well that Yan Shaoyu was not a simple person. There were unknown reasons behind the decline of their Yan family. No one knew what would happen in the future. When one day Yan Shaoyu was in a high position, it would be too late for him to say this.
While they are getting married now, he has to let him know that Gu Yuehuai's family is not just for show. He can't just marry them off so easily. What if they don't cherish them in the future?
Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli were speechless, their faces looking somewhat bitter.
If the Yan family had not fallen, they would not have taken Gu Xihuai's words to heart at all. But now, they didn't know how to deal with it. Both of them looked at Yan Shaoyu with some worry.
Of course they knew that Gu Yuehuai deserved the best of everything, but their family's current situation was very clear. They even had to eat and live in the girl's house. Could they afford to spend hundreds of dollars to buy four major items for the wedding banquet?
Gu Yuehuai also frowned and said unhappily: "Gu Xihuai, stop talking about these nonsense and go eat your meal."
Gu Xihuai glanced at her, snorted heavily, and thought to himself that she was ungrateful. Who was he saying this for?
Gu Yuehuai held Yan Shaoyu's hand and said softly, "Don't worry about it. Our family doesn't lack these, and I don't need them either."
Now that he has been promoted in rank, his allowance will also increase, but he cannot come up with too much money at once. She also really does not need these empty things. Everything they have experienced, whether in the previous life or this life, no longer needs to be proven by material things. It's just that others don't know about it. Who is she saving face for?
In this era, weddings and marriages are all arranged by the organization. They applied in the army, got the marriage certificate, and then they are a family. The money she earns is his, and they are a family and don't have any different opinions.
Besides, the current economic situation is bad, every family is poor, and it is not fashionable to hold a grand wedding ceremony as it will easily arouse jealousy.
At this time, Gu Zhifeng also echoed, "It's better to keep it simple when getting married. Just set up a few tables of wine and invite the neighbors to have a meal together. There's no need to be so particular. As long as you live a good life, that's more important than anything else."
Gu Tinghuai turned his head and looked at Bai Mei without saying anything. In fact, he also felt that he should give his wife all the best, but he didn't have the confidence to say this now. After all, everything he had now came from his sister. He was silent for a moment.
At this time, Yan Shaoyu said: "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will not lack Yue Huai for what others have."
What he said was very serious. Gu Yuehuai turned her head to look at him. Seeing the corners of his narrow eyes turned up with a soft light, she knew that he had already made plans for this wedding and he had never thought of letting her down.
