Shen Mingchuan held Shen Man's arm and kept asking, "Sister, you are not going to be with Gu Xiaobei's father, are you?"

"Your child is already that old, why do you want to marry him and become someone's stepmother?"

Shen Man shook her head, "She's not a stepmother. Xiaobei was met on the train. She has never been married and doesn't have a wife."

"Xiaobei is my child from now on, just like my own biological child. Mingchuan, you are Xiaobei's uncle from now on, so you have to get along well with him."

Shen Mingchuan curled his lips and said, "Sister, even though he is not your biological child, you still have to help take care of the child after you marry him. Even though that little baby is cute, it must be very tiring to take care of the child."

"Or, you can think about it again and find a man who doesn't have children. If you really don't want to, I will support you when I grow up."

Shen Man raised her hand and touched Shen Mingchuan's head, "Mingchuan, I like Xiaobei very much. From now on, he will be my and Gu Qinglin's child. From now on, you will be Xiaobei's uncle. Don't say that again."

If Xiaobei's origins could be explained, she would actually like to tell her mother and Mingchuan that Xiaobei was her biological child.

"Okay, I will get along well with you from now on."

Although Shen Mingchuan didn't want his sister to take care of someone else's child, that person was Gu Xiaobei, so that was another matter.

I don't know why, but Gu Xiaobei makes 놛 feel close to him. Maybe this is the fate between 놛 and our family.

Shen Man did not plan to stay at the Shen family for dinner today. Instead, she discussed with her mother the time to go to Gu Qinglin's house to propose marriage, and then left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the house, he ran into Shen Xiangshan who had just returned from work.

When he looked up and saw that it was Shen Man, he hurried over and said, "Man Man, why don't you stay for dinner? Let's go back to the house and eat first. Your mother must have prepared the meal by this time."

Shen Man walked around the outstretched hand. Due to the presence of some neighbors passing by, she did not behave abnormally, but just kept a distance from Shen Xiangshan silently.

"I won't eat. I just ate at the factory before I came here."

After saying this, she walked around him again and planned to leave.

Shen Xiangshan's body froze, and his hand that he reached out to grab her just hung there in mid-air awkwardly, with a sour feeling in his heart.

After so many years of father-daughter relationship, it was finally lost.

Whether she believed it or not, I really loved her and treated her as my own daughter.

But four years ago, I couldn't let both girls be ruined, so I could only reluctantly choose to keep one and compensate the other.

Unexpectedly, now both girls are divorced.

Shen Ping had been in the Northwest for several months, and she was not even willing to send a letter back to let him know she was safe; Man Man was even more unwilling to acknowledge this father.

…

Not long after Shen Man got home, Gu Xiaobei ran over and knocked on the door.

"Aunt, Dad has already prepared the meal, come and eat."

Shen Man touched 놛's little head and said, "Okay."

Since the two of them decided to come, Gu Qinglin had been preparing meals for the past few days and asking her to come over to eat together.

She didn't refuse, on the contrary, they were going to be together in the future.

When Shen Man followed Gu Xiaobei over there.

Gu Qinglin had just brought the prepared meal over. "Sit down and eat. I'll get the dishes."

Today we had garlic-flavored greens, scrambled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried shredded pork. These three simple dishes were so delicious that they made us almost hungry.

After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen and sent the children inside.

Shen Man looked up at the man beside her, "I told my mother today about your parents' attitude. She was very satisfied and told you to find a time to come and propose marriage."

Gu Qinglin smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow, what do you think?"

In fact, as early as when she got divorced, she had already prepared everything that needed to be prepared. At that time, it was just for the sake of preparedness. Unexpectedly, the two of them are really together now, which can be regarded as proper preparation in advance.

The reason why it is the day after tomorrow is because some things have to be bought in department stores, which takes some time to prepare.

Shen Man pursed her lips and smiled, "My mother thinks so too. It just happens to be convenient for her the day after tomorrow."

It is better to settle things as soon as possible to avoid rumors and troubles.

Gu Qinglin looked into Shen Man's eyes, his eyebrows and eyes became more handsome and compelling, "Let it go, you can go back the day after tomorrow and wait for me to come to your house to propose marriage."

"After proposing the marriage, I will report the marriage to the army. Once the marriage report is received, I will take you and Xiaobei to join the army."

Shen Man thought for a moment, "What if we don't go back to Beijing to see your parents?"

Gu Qinglin: "We are very busy at work. We have been to the hospital for several days, especially during this period of time. We probably won't see us."

"My vacation will be over soon, and I won't have time to go back to Beijing. When we get married, if you don't mind, we should hold it in the army. Of course, we can also hold it here."

"After all, the unit I'm in is too far away from here, and it's troublesome for Aunt Fang to go there. If we hold a wedding here, she can also see us get married with her own eyes."

Shen Man nodded, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

As for some matters related to marriage, she still has to discuss with her mother before making a decision.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

"By the way, why haven't you seen Guilan from next door come to see you recently?"

"What on earth did you do to interrupt her thoughts?"

Shen Man was actually a little curious. Wang Guilan had been thinking about Gu Qinglin for a long time. She used to be very diligent in visiting him, but now she rarely saw him.

Gu Qinglin glanced at Shen Man and said, "It's nothing. I just told her that I already have a fiancee and asked her to keep her distance."

Shen Man obviously didn't believe it. She glared at the man and said, "You lied to me."

"We haven't gotten married yet, so don't fool me. Otherwise, even if we are married, I can still divorce you."

Gu Qinglin looked down at her head and smiled softly, "How could I lie to you? Everything I said is true. The reason she didn't continue to pester me is because she has already moved on."

Shen Man looked up at 놛, "Really?"

Wang Guilan is not the kind of woman who would give up easily, otherwise she wouldn't have come to her to demonstrate so many times.

Gu Qinglin nodded, "Of course it's true."

This morning, I saw Wang the butcher who sold meat to the meat processing factory walking together on his way to Guilan. After several warnings, the other party was not stupid enough to pester me again.

Early the next morning.

Shen Man went to work as usual, and Gu Qinglin took Gu Xiaobei to the largest department store in Ping County to pick out things for the marriage proposal tomorrow.

I had started preparing the money and various bills a month ago, the day I first revealed our relationship to Shen Man.
