"He's outside..."
Gu Qingmeng was shocked. This man should have come with Aunt Shuqin. Because her uncle said that they could not meet the day before the wedding, he had been waiting outside.
Seeing Aunt Shuqin coming out, Gu Qingmeng put two chickens and two rabbits in a basin. There were many people in the Pei family today, including Uncle Pei and Pei Xiuzhen, and if they took less, there would not be enough to eat.
"This... this is smoked chicken." Zhang Shuqin was stunned when she saw the smoked chicken. In her eyes, smoked chicken, a high-end ingredient, was exclusive to state-owned restaurants. She didn't expect that Gu Qingmeng could actually make it.
"It's a blessing for the fourth brother to marry you. How come you are so skillful!"
Zhang Shuqin only then remembered that Pei Xinghe was waiting for her outside. After praising Gu Qingmeng a few more times, she hurried out with the basin in hand.
I thought Pei Xinghe would go back, but I didn't expect him to be waiting outside like a fool.
"Old Four, are you here again, or have you been waiting outside?"
She wanted to know if her son would be crazy with joy after getting married?
"Qingqing made this smoked chicken. Let's go back quickly! Xiaohua is here to look for it."
Pei Xinghe didn't answer. Was he waiting outside? He glanced at the yard several times before leaving. They were getting married tomorrow.
He had been looking forward to the wedding for a long time and was about to bring his wife home. He had a feeling it was unreal.
"Then hurry back. Fourth Brother, I'm telling you, you have to treat Mengmeng better. She was raised in our care. Don't let her suffer any grievances in our home."
After chatting just now, Zhang Shuqin had a new understanding of how favored Gu Qingmeng was. She had a feeling that if her son treated people badly, Gu Qingmeng would leave without looking back. She had the confidence to do so.
"Mom, don't worry."
He had worked so hard to pursue her, so how could he not treat her well?
When Pei Xinghe and his friends returned home, they saw their sister and third aunt cutting wedding characters, while their cousin had already pasted wedding characters all over the main room.
His friends were trying out the newly built stove in the yard, and there were people from the village who came to help. The yard was almost full of people!
It seemed particularly lively, and he was probably the most idle person. The kitchen was occupied by several aunties, who were the people who got along best with Zhang Shuqin.
Pei Xinghe was in high spirits when he thought that he would be able to live with his Qingqing after tomorrow. He didn't feel tired at all after a busy day, nor did he feel hungry, let alone sleepy.
He felt that he would be so happy that he would not be able to sleep at night!
Unlike the happy mood of the Pei family, the Fu Qingzhou brothers were reluctant to see their niece get married. After dinner, they started talking about her dowry.
In addition to Fu Xixi's dowry, Fu Qingzhou bought a two-courtyard house in Beijing, and Fu Qingfan exchanged it for twenty large yellow croakers, which almost blinded Gu Qingmeng's eyes.
Gu Qingmeng was once again shocked by the love of her uncles. In her previous life, she had no uncles and her parents were both only children, but in this life, so many people loved her!
Her two aunts also love her as their own daughter, as do her cousins.
"Your grandpa has been keeping your mother's dowry for you. This time when we came here, the old man took out his most treasured pocket watch. This is your grandmother's thing, and the old man said to leave it to you."
When Gu Qingmeng saw the pocket watch, tears fell uncontrollably.
She had memories of this pocket watch, which was the one her grandfather always kept on his chest. It turned out to be a relic of her grandmother.
She was about to refuse when she heard Fu Qingzhou say, "You may not have any memory of your grandmother. She loved you very much. Before she passed away, she was thinking about what would happen to you. She left a will, leaving all her things to you to inherit."
Fu Qingzhou didn't mention anything specific. The future is still unclear and it's hard to say whether the things can be recovered.
Gu Qingmeng just thought it was some jewelry left by the old man. After all, he was an old man who was wholeheartedly kind to her, so it was nice to keep some jewelry as a keepsake.
As for her mother Fu Xixi's dowry, she only knew that there was a courtyard with three entrances. She had seen it with her grandfather when she was a child, but her memory was very vague. She knew that the courtyard had been rented out now.
"How is Grandpa's health? I will go back to see him when I have time. When he retires, I will ask him to come to Gaoling County and make delicious food for him every day."
Gu Qingmeng missed the elegant old man a little, and she wanted to go back during the New Year to give him a surprise.
"Your grandpa wants to retire too. Guaibao's cooking skills are beyond reproach. This smoked chicken he made today is even better than the ones made in state-owned restaurants."
Fu Qingzhou made room for Sun Yan as he spoke, and Gu Qingmeng only then saw that her eldest aunt was holding a hot towel, and her second uncle was winking at her second aunt Feng Yanan, obviously trying to coax her.
"My dear, you're getting married tomorrow. Don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen tomorrow."
Sun Yan wiped Gu Qingmeng's face with a towel in a gentle tone. Feng Yanan followed up with, "Our darling is so beautiful. She must be the most beautiful bride!"
Gu Qingmeng felt a little embarrassed at this moment. She seemed to have cried quite miserably just now. I hope her eyes won’t be swollen tomorrow!
Coaxed by her two aunts, Gu Qingmeng quickly stopped crying, and the Fu Qingzhou brothers breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was Gu Qingmeng crying.
Gu Qingmeng immediately saw her two younger brothers looking at her with red eyes. She discovered that her two younger brothers were particularly silent whenever they were in front of their uncles.
"Guodong, Guoliang, why aren't you talking? My sister is getting married tomorrow. Don't you have anything to say to me?" Gu Qingmeng asked with a smile after wiping her face.
"Sister, just be yourself and don't worry. We will support you in the future." Gu Guodong just wanted his sister to live a happy and free life. He had something to say, but not to his sister, but to Pei Xinghe.
The girl who was raised in the palm of the hands of the Gu and Fu families must not suffer any injustice!
I can't bear any grievance.
"Sister, if Pei Xinghe treats you badly, you can divorce me. My brother and I will support you in the future."
After Gu Guoliang finished speaking, he was hit on the head by his brother.
"Brother, why did you hit me? Didn't we agree that if Pei Xinghe treats me badly, I will ask her to divorce me."
Gu Guoliang expressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "Why did you hit him?"
Gu Guodong rolled his eyes speechlessly. My sister is getting married tomorrow. Is divorce something I can talk about today? How unlucky it is. What if my sister gets angry?
