Chapter 118 Engagement
Gu Ci nodded gratefully: "Uncle, I know you are doing this for my own good, I will listen to you."
The father-in-law is willing to say this because he does not dislike his in-laws who are holding him back.
Nothing could make Gu Ci feel more grateful than these words. He felt that his father-in-law treated him as a family member.
It was also at this moment that Gu Ci felt a sense of belonging to the Song family.
Secretary Song waved his hand and said, "We will soon be a family. This is as it should be."
The older you get, the more experienced you become. Since he knew that Gu Ci would rather go to the countryside for his in-laws' sake, he knew that his in-laws were something he was unwilling to give up.
If discovered, you might be implicated.
But it's not fatal, and if you're careful, you can keep it secret.
Like my own wife, hasn’t she kept it a secret for so many years?
He now has some experience and has developed some courage.
Besides, the fact that Gu Ci can take care of his in-laws shows that he has a conscience and is easy to get along with.
Gu Ci asked happily: "Then on the seventh day of the New Year, I will go buy another ten kilograms of meat?"
Secretary Song was planning to hold a grand wedding banquet, and he was eager to support it with both hands and feet.
This shows that my father-in-law values me, so he let everyone know that I am married to Chu Hong.
Otherwise, it would seem that he is not as good as Zhong Shimei who appeared before Chu Hong.
In fact, he also understood that Chu Hong and Zhong Shimei were a thing of the past, and he thought he wouldn't care. But now that they were getting married, he found that he still cared a little in his heart, and was afraid that he would be outdone by him.
Not good in any aspect.
Secretary Song really didn't dare to go to the black market, so he nodded: "Then you should be careful."
Gu Ci handed him another 280 yuan, along with the sewing plane ticket: "Uncle, I am willing to be a son-in-law, these are my thoughts."
Before Chu Tong moved the mother and daughter's household registration back, she had changed Su Xiaoyu's name to Song Xiaoyu.
In other words, the family already has a granddaughter.
Therefore, Party Secretary Song was not too eager for grandchildren, so he said cheerfully: "Your first child can have the surname Song, and your second child can have the surname Gu."
He wanted to give Gu Ci some hope so that he wouldn't feel unhappy.
But Gu Ci really didn't care: "It's fine as long as they both have the surname Song. I'd rather have a child with the surname Chu than Gu."
After hearing this, Party Secretary Song was overjoyed and felt that he would have many grandchildren soon.
Chu Hong who was passing by said: You started dreaming before it even got dark. I didn’t agree to have the baby, so it’s useless even if you’ve chosen a name for it?
Secretary Song only accepted 100 yuan and the sewing plane ticket: "Keep the rest for yourselves."
Gu Ci took the opportunity to speak: "Uncle, there will be more and more people in the family in the future. I want to build another house so that everyone can live in more spaciously."
"That's a good idea." Secretary Song suspected that Zhong Guobing was narrow-minded and was unwilling to live in the house where Zhong Guobing had lived.
Come to think of it, three rooms are indeed a bit crowded now.
"While we still have some money, why don't we build two more rooms?" Wu Xiu said, "In the future, each daughter can have one room."
"Even if Chu Dan gets married in the future, her house can be used by the children."
Secretary Song not only did not refute Wu Xiu's words, but also praised her: "You are thoughtful."
Chu Tong opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end she said nothing.
She felt that her family members were very extravagant with their money, and it was better to spend the money on building a house than on buying food.
The next day, Secretary Song came back with a sewing machine pulled by an ox cart, which caused a sensation in the whole village.
The aunts, the old ladies, the young wives and the little girls all touched the sewing machines carefully.
The elderly lady with poor eyesight tried to open her eyes wide: "Why does this sewing machine have no head?"
The young wife had seen the world: "Auntie, do you have to turn the sewing machine over to use it?"
"I know this. My brother from my mother's family bought a sewing machine when he got married. This thing can sew by itself just by stepping on it!"
The older aunts and grandmas were all shocked: "Oh my god, that would be such an easy way to save trouble."
"With this good stuff, there's nothing to worry about when making clothes for the whole family. It will be done in no time."
Wu Qiaofang, who came to watch the fun, held her belly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, can you lend it to me to step on it when the time comes?"
She just wanted to do it in front of everyone, so that even if her elder sister-in-law was reluctant, she would not be embarrassed to reject her own sister-in-law.
Wu Xiu agreed immediately: "Okay, you can use it to step on it at my house."
Then she said to everyone with a smile: "Aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters, if you want to use the sewing machine in the future, just come to my house and use it. You are welcome."
She knew that a piece of iron like a sewing machine would not break easily.
It's nothing more than a broken sewing machine needle or a wasted thread, but it can give your family a good reputation.
Besides, most people nowadays don’t want to take advantage of others. When they borrow a sewing machine, they will at least take two eggs or something else to eat.
If there really are villagers who only come in and never leave, no one would want to associate with them.
Otherwise, why does the old saying go like this: Relatives shoulder their burdens, neighbors drink their bowls together, and only when courtesy is reciprocated can there be give and take.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they showered Wu Xiu with compliments and praised her profusely.
Seeing her sister-in-law being praised by everyone, Wu Qiaofang felt upset and deliberately asked, "Sister-in-law, why did you think of buying a sewing machine?"
To be honest, both Chu Tong and Chu Hong are divorced, and even she, as their aunt, feels a little ashamed.
She felt that her sister-in-law would definitely be embarrassed to say it.
But Mr. Wu didn't think it was shameful.
If my daughter can remarry and find someone better than her previous one, then it means that my daughter is good.
She smiled and said to everyone, "My Chu Hong is going to marry Gu Zhiqing."
"Gu Ci is also willing to come to my house and take care of us in our old age."
Nowadays, people like to have sons, to continue the family line and to take care of them in their old age. There will be someone to take care of them when they are lying in bed, and someone to worship them when they die.
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they all say good things about the talented man and the beautiful girl.
Wu Xiu also took the opportunity to mention a good date: "We'll get married on February 8th. Everyone, come over for a cup of tea when you're free."
Of course, this does not mean that everyone is really invited to come and drink tea, but those who send gifts will be invited to sit down.
Everyone will send gifts five or six days in advance, so they can roughly calculate how many tables will be set up.
In fact, gift-giving is a two-way process, and the Song family does not just take in gifts without giving out.
Everyone also expressed that they would go and ask for a cup of tea when the time comes.
Other people's remarriages are held in a grand manner, and they must think that they are crazy about receiving gifts.
However, Party Secretary Song is still very influential in the village, and everyone is willing to send him some more gifts.
Wu Qiaofang asked again: "Sister-in-law, I heard that marriages now require three turns and one ring. Aren't Gu Ci's parents both doctors? Why did they only give him a sewing machine?"
Wu Xiu still smiled: "He also bought a watch for Chu Hong."
There is no need to say anything else. It is not good if it is too eye-catching.
Wu Qiaofang asked unwillingly, "Are Gu Zhiqing's parents willing for him to be their son-in-law?"
