During the meal, Zhou Lifang deliberately sat next to Gu Jingyan. Seeing that everyone was eating seriously, she turned her head slightly towards her daughter and quietly asked, "How did things go with your meeting with Deng Yi?"
"It's done." Gu Jingyan simply said two words to her mother, then continued eating. This was her first time eating with Ruan Ruan and the others, and the grilled fish was made by Deng Yi, so she was determined to eat as much as possible.
She picked up a piece of potato from the grilled fish and put it in her bowl. It was sour and spicy. She thought that not only was the fish delicious, but the vegetables inside were also very tasty.
As she continued to put other dishes into her bowl, she saw her mother looking at her happily. She casually put a piece of fish into her mother's bowl as well, saying, "Eat up, this was made by your son-in-law. Try his cooking."
"They just met and he's already the son-in-law? A young lady like you, don't you know how to be shy!" Zhou Lifang said, but her hands betrayed her words as she picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, delicious. My son-in-law's cooking is pretty good."
She used to think that Deng Yi was always in the army and wouldn't know how to cook. But today, ever since Ruan Ruan came over and told her about Deng Yi, she had been observing him. He followed behind Gu Jingyan and escorted her to Ruan Ruan's place. Then he immediately came back to help Huo Haocheng. He was chopping vegetables and serving dishes. Zhou Lifang felt that this child was as good as they said.
Because of the nature of Gu Jingyan's work, she was worried that if Gu Jingyan found someone who couldn't do anything and didn't do anything when he got home, she would be furious.
But now that she's seen it, Deng Yi is great! This kid is observant and has such good cooking skills, she's completely at ease now.
"Hehe o(*￣︶￣*)o" Gu Jingyan laughed when she heard her say that she wasn't ashamed while praising her son-in-law's cooking skills. This insincere behavior made her laugh.
After a pleasant meal, Huo Haocheng and his group of brothers washed the dishes.
In the afternoon, during free time, Ruan Ruan and her sisters-in-law put the children to sleep and then came out to watch Huo Haocheng and the others playing poker in the pavilion.
Seeing them approach, Deng Yi immediately stood up and shoved the cards in his hand into Ge Xiaotian's hand, who was standing behind him. "You play, I have something to do, I'm going out for a bit." Then he walked over to Gu Jingyan and asked, "Do you have time? Can we go for a walk?" As he said this, Deng Yi's palms were sweating. This was the first time in his 24 years that he had asked a girl out.
Seeing his actions, the other brothers understood immediately. They stopped playing cards and stared at him intently. Gu Jinghe, in particular, stood up as soon as he saw Deng Yi stop in front of his sister. Just as he was about to say something, Su Yanqiu, who knew the situation, quickly covered his mouth.
Su Yanqiu learned about this from his wife during a meal. She thought Ruan Ruan was really suitable to be a matchmaker, so Chao Xi excitedly shared this with him while waiting for the old men.
When Su Yanqiu heard Chao Xi talk about this, he saw the light in her eyes and recalled that when he and Chao Xi first met, it was similar to today.
Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan are good at matchmaking, and they are quick and decisive. He has reason to believe that if Deng Yi does not agree to meet Gu Jingyan today, or does not like Gu Jingyan, then in the afternoon they will definitely arrange for other single people present to meet Gu Jingyan.
Thinking of this, Su Yanqiu looked at Gu Jinghe, who was being pinned down by him, and then at the other single people. Ruan Shaolin and Gu Jingyan were cousins, so no, that would leave Ge Xiaotian and Lin Qingyuan. Then he looked at Deng Yi and Gu Jingyan standing opposite him. Well, although these two were also good-looking, Deng Yi and Gu Jingyan were still a better match.
While he was thinking, Gu Jingyan blushed slightly when Deng Yi invited her, and then Ruan Ruan next to her nudged her and said, "Okay!" Gu Jingyan was a very decisive person when it came to work, but in life, this was her first time dating, and she had no experience, so she could only follow her feelings. Therefore, when Deng Yi asked her out, she only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone behind them, the two left together.
Seeing Deng Yi take his sister away right in front of him, Gu Jinghe angrily twisted his arm and broke free from Su Yanqiu's grasp. "Fine, did you already know? Otherwise, why did you stop me just now?"
Gu Jinghe wasn't really angry, but Gu Jingyan was still his sister. Deng Yi had gotten together with his sister behind his back without even telling him. He didn't respect his brother at all!
"I'm innocent! I just found out too. You should ask Huo Haocheng and his wife about this." He wasn't going to take the blame for this. As he said this, he raised his chin and gestured to Huo Haocheng, who was sitting and looking at them.
Su Yanqiu also felt that Huo Haocheng truly deserved to be their captain; his mental fortitude was remarkable.
"What are you talking about? Ruan Ruan thought Gu Jingyan and Deng Yi were a good match, so she acted as a matchmaker for them. After they chatted, they felt they were both good, so they got together. It's that simple. Besides, Gu Jingyan isn't young anymore. My second aunt is also asking people to find her a partner. Isn't it better for her to be with Deng Yi now? We're all brothers, we know each other well. What do you have to worry about?" The two didn't hide anything in their conversation, so everyone present heard it. Huo Haocheng didn't need Gu Jinghe to ask; he just said it directly. In his opinion, Deng Yi and Gu Jingyan were truly like-minded and a perfect match, just as Ruan Ruan said.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that since they're together, and we're brothers after all, they should have told me. It's not like I disagree!" Gu Jinghe felt particularly wronged when he said this. His sister was with his brother, and he was the last to know. He couldn't accept this and felt that they didn't trust him.
"Alright, arranging this blind date between Jingyan and Deng Yi was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ours. We just didn't expect it to actually work out. Grandpa, Grandma, and Second Uncle don't know yet, and you're not the last one." Dr. Jiang couldn't bear to look at Gu Jinghe's aggrieved expression. A grown man acting like this, she really wanted to slap him a couple of times.
When Gu Jinghe heard his wife say that his grandparents didn't know yet, his aggrieved face immediately brightened up. So, he was the third person in the family to know, which was great.
