Chapter 323: Coming for Xiaohe
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 talking to Gu Juyuan, but Gu Juyuan was talking to his own son.
Seeing that his son didn't say anything, he nodded.
Gu Yanli's silence means he has no opinion.
If he spoke now, no matter how nicely he spoke, it would still be sarcastic in various ways.
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, stood up, and asked, "What are you doing?" as she approached.
Gu Juyuan dragged the man into the yard, said nothing, and pointed to the main room.
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.
Seeing the man 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 because of Xiaohe's matter?"
"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that he came here several times for Xiao He's matter?"
"Today he brought Yan Li's former leader with him and brought up the matter again, saying he wanted to settle the matter with Xiao He."
"I called you and asked you what you said."
Zhong Meixian glanced at him unhappily, "You've already agreed on a date with someone, why did you call me out?"
Gu Juyuan: "..."
"…You don't agree?"
"I took it as your consent, 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 are a mother, how can you not show up for this?"
Zhong Meixian couldn't respond.
After that, the old man and the old woman called Wen Tang out from another room where he was working.
Wen Tang rolled up his sleeves and was busy.
Her long black hair was casually tied behind her with a red ribbon. With her hair hanging down, she looked incredibly beautiful.
"Tang," the old lady called out from the doorway. Her voice was unusually gentle, not at all like the ferocious look she'd give 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. "The secretary's son is here again. He came 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 you, what do you think about this matter?"
Wen Tang glanced at the main hall and patted the dust off his hands. "Since he is sincere in choosing Shu He, you have no objection. 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 also said that if you agree, we will not care about the date selection, and 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 also stood up. He looked at Wen Tang and Zhong Meixian in the yard and asked Gu Yanli, "That's my aunt and my sister-in-law, right?"
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 at this time he followed silently.
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 first, "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 at this time and said to Wen Tang, "This is my former company commander."
So when Wei Hongtao looked over, Wen Tang stretched out her hand first, "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 stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wen Tang, 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 topic that could not be avoided, 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 Gu Juyuan and Zhong Meixian. They grinned from ear to ear and said, "Yes, they have been married for three years and they didn't get 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 get pregnant with two babies at once."
Wei Hongtao smiled and said, "This kind of good fortune 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 be complimented 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 on the eighth day of next month.
There are still ten days left.
Speaking of the time of engagement with Gu Shuhe, Shen Tingci took the initiative to explain, "The time may have wronged Shuhe, it was a bit rushed, I will definitely compensate Shuhe in the future."
Gu Yanli answered from the side, "Just live your life without making others feel wronged!"
Gu Yanli doesn't have the habit of letting people's words fall to the ground.
Shen Tingci also nodded, "No, the time is so rushed because of my 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 boldly continued to express, "So I think, if possible, I hope to marry Shu He this year."
