As soon as Gu Yanli agreed, Wei Hongtao immediately said, "Since you uncles don't mind, let's pick a good day to settle the matter. What do you think?"
Wei Hongtao was looking at Gu Juyuan when he spoke, but Gu Juyuan was looking at his own son.
Seeing that his son didn't say anything, he nodded.
Gu Yanli's silence meant that he had no opinion.
If he were to speak now, no matter how nicely he spoke, he would still be using different methods to sound sarcastic.
Since his son had no objection, Gu Juyuan stood up and said, "I'll go call Xiao He's mother!"
Zhong Meixian was helping with work in the factory. After Wen Tang finished eating, he also went to the factory to supervise the work.
So Gu Juyuan is going to call for help now.
Gu Juyuan went to call for help, and Wei Hongtao talked to Gu Yanli.
Shen Tingci sat quietly beside him.
Gu Juyuan went to the work room and called out to Zhong Meixian, who was working and talking to someone inside, "Mom, come out for a moment."
Zhong Meixian put down the work in her hands and stood up. "What are you doing?" she asked as she approached.
Gu Juyuan dragged the man into the yard, said nothing, and pointed to the main hall.
There were no mobile phones or televisions in that era, so even though Zhong Meixian was sixty years old, her eyesight was still very good.
He saw someone coming into his main room at a glance.
There was one who looked somewhat familiar to her.
After seeing the person clearly, Zhong Meixian moved closer and asked, "Why is he here again?"
Gu Juyuan glanced at Zhong Meixian unhappily, thinking she was pretending to be confused. "Why are you here? Isn't it about Xiaohe's matter?"
"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that he came here several times because of Xiao He's matter?"
"Today he brought Yan Li's former leader with him and brought up the matter again, saying he wanted to finalize the matter with Xiao He."
"I called you and asked you what you said."
Zhong Meixian glanced at him unhappily, "You've already arranged a date with someone, why are you calling me out?"
Gu Juyuan: “…”
"...You don't agree?"
"I took it for granted that you agreed, I..."
"I didn't say I disagree!"
Gu Juyuan: “…”
Zhong Meixian continued angrily, "They've already picked the day, so just follow their lead. What else do we have to choose?"
Gu Juyuan pulled the old lady again and said, "Go to the main hall and talk."
"You said it yourself."
"You're a mother, how can you not show up for this?"
Zhong Meixian was speechless.
After that, the old man and the old woman called Wen Tang out from another work room.
Wen Tang rolled up his sleeves and was busy.
Her long black hair was casually tied behind her with a red ribbon, and she looked incredibly beautiful with her hair hanging down.
"Tang," the old lady called out from the doorway, her voice unusually gentle, not at all like the ferocious look she would have when facing her own old man.
Wen Tang stopped what he was doing and walked out, "What's wrong? Mom!"
Zhong Meixian pulled her to stand in the yard and pointed to the main hall. "That secretary's son is here again. He's here for Xiaohe's matter."
"He also brought Yan Li's former leader."
"Your father and Yan Li have agreed to this matter, and they are urging us to choose a date to set it. Your father and I want to ask, what do you think about this matter?"
Wen Tang glanced towards the main hall and dusted off his hands. "Since he's sincere about choosing Shu He, and you don't object, just pick an auspicious day. Let them choose!"
Zhong Meixian clapped her hands in delight after hearing what Wen Tang said. "Oh, I have the same idea as you. I was saying that if you agree, we won't care about choosing the date. Let the man decide."
"As long as Shu He doesn't feel wronged when she marries him."
Wen Tang also nodded, "That's what I said!"
As they were talking, Wei Hongtao stood up from inside the room. He looked at Wen Tang and Zhong Meixian in the courtyard and asked Gu Yanli, "Are those your aunt and your sister-in-law?"
Gu Yanli nodded!
Wei Hongtao immediately smiled and said, "I'll go say hello to my aunt and my brother and sister-in-law."
Shen Tingci stood up the moment Wei Hongtao stood up, and followed him silently at this time.
Wei Hongtao is now a matchmaker and a middleman. He just needs to follow behind in many things and does not need to be the first in everything. After all, Wei Hongtao is Gu Yanli's old leader.
As the future son-in-law, he cannot compete with the old leader.
Just as Zhong Meixian finished talking to Wen Tang, Wei Hongtao came over from the main room with a smile on his face and his hand outstretched.
When he got closer, he shook hands with Zhong Meixian and said, "Hello, auntie. I am Yan Li's former comrade-in-arms. My last name is Wei, and my name is Hong Tao."
"Just call me Hong Tao!"
Zhong Meixian also held his hand tightly, "Hello, hello!"
After greeting Zhong Meixian, Wei Hongtao shifted his gaze to Wen Tang.
Gu Yanli had already stood beside Wen Tang and said to him, "This is my former company commander."
So when Wei Hongtao looked over, Wen Tang was the first to reach out her hand, "Hello, Captain, I'm Gu Yanli's wife!"
Although Wen Tang was pregnant, she looked relaxed, gentle and generous.
Wei Hongtao immediately showed an admiring look, "Hello, sister-in-law, hello!"
He extended his hand and shook hands with Wen Tang briefly, then praised, "It's a blessing for Yan Li to marry my sister-in-law."
Wen Tang smiled faintly at this polite greeting, lowered his head shyly, and let it go.
Even though Wen Tang wanted to say it, this was indeed his blessing.
After a brief greeting, Wen Tang's bulging belly naturally became a hot topic, so Wei Hongtao naturally asked, "I heard from Yan Li that your sister-in-law is pregnant with twins?"
When talking about this, the happiest people were none other than the elderly couple Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian. They immediately grinned from ear to ear, "Yes, these two have been married for three years, and they haven't gotten pregnant in the past two years. I was worried too!"
"I didn't expect that not only would I get pregnant this year, but I'd also get two at once."
Wei Hongtao smiled and said, "Good fortune like this always comes a little late."
Zhong Meixian liked what she heard and nodded immediately, "Yes, that's what I meant."
"Come on, come on, sit in the main hall!"
Everyone moved to the main room. Zhong Meixian was very happy to receive the compliments in the yard.
So when they arrived at the main hall, Zhong Meixian nodded happily no matter what Wei Hongtao said.
Then the engagement date was set for the eighth day of next month.
There are still about ten days left.
Speaking of the time of engagement with Gu Shuhe, Shen Tingci took the initiative to explain, "The timing may have made Shuhe feel wronged. It was a bit rushed. I will definitely compensate Shuhe in the future."
Gu Yanli answered from the side, "Just live your life without putting others in a difficult position!"
Gu Yanli doesn't have the habit of letting others' words fall on the ground.
Shen Tingci also nodded and said, "No, the time is so rushed because of family. I am indeed a little old at this age."
"I have a younger brother who is two years younger than me. His marriage has been delayed because of me, so I wanted to marry Shuhe first."
"But in our marriage, I will never let Shuhe suffer any injustice."
Gu Juyuan was a good man. He nodded and said, "I understand!"
Because he could understand, Shen Tingci continued to express himself boldly, "So I think, if possible, I hope to marry Shu He this year."
