"Old woman, hurry up and look up the almanac to choose a good day."
Gu Guangrong clapped his hands, feeling that there was great hope for the future.
"We need to find a matchmaker to propose marriage first. I'll take care of it."
Gu Changjiang raised his hand to speak.
I heard there's a matchmaker in the next brigade who's had a hundred marriages and never failed. Asking her to come will surely bring good luck.
"We still need to buy furniture and furnish the new house. I'll take care of that."
Gu Changshan continued.
Carpenter Wang's reputation has suffered, and Wang Jun's craftsmanship is just so-so; if you want to buy furniture, you have to go all the way to the county.
"As for the wedding shoes and the love scarf, my sister-in-law and I will take care of those."
Zhou Lan and He Chunhua exchanged a glance, thinking they would stay up for a few nights and hurry up and finish making it.
"There's also the bride price, so don't make things difficult for Third Sister-in-law."
"But we can't do this. Parents, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."
Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu spoke in unison.
The bride price is something my mother has to decide for herself.
If I were to treat my third sister-in-law the same way as my eldest and second sisters-in-law, I'd be afraid of making her feel wronged. If I were to treat her more than my eldest and second sisters-in-law, I'd be afraid of causing conflict.
"Alright, alright, let's work together to bring our third son's wife into our family."
Gu Guangrong looked at his family's unity with a face full of satisfaction.
Gu Changfeng: So he's the only one with nowhere to contribute, right?
The next morning, Gu Changfeng arrived at the door, leaning on his cane.
"What's wrong? Didn't we agree that I would go to the Gu family to treat you?"
Ruan Qiushui quickly helped Gu Changfeng sit down.
"Here you go, I had my mother make you some knife-cut noodles. Try them and see if you like them."
Gu Changfeng handed the lunchbox to Ruan Qiushui.
"It smells so good."
Ruan Qiushui opened the lunchbox and looked at the oil-splashed knife-cut noodles with meat sauce on top, which made her very hungry.
"I'll go next time. You can't afford to injure your leg again, okay?"
Look at these noodles, still hot and not clumped together, you can tell how fast this idiot can walk on one leg.
"I just wanted to see you as soon as possible."
I haven't seen my wife all night, how could I not miss her?
"Honey, let's get married. Will my parents-in-law come?"
Gu Changfeng hadn't heard Ruan Qiushui mention her parents-in-law at all. If they didn't acknowledge him as their son-in-law, could the marriage still take place?
"My parents probably can't come."
Thinking of her parents on the farm, Ruan Qiushui sighed.
"Huh? Is there something I didn't do well enough? I'll change it."
His parents-in-law must disapprove because of his poor health.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ruan Qiushui tapped Gu Changfeng on the head.
“My parents are still at the Northwest Farm and can’t come here at all.”
Ruan Qiushui then introduced the situation of her parents and two older brothers.
"Ruan Ruan, you've suffered so much."
Gu Changfeng pulled Ruan Qiushui into his arms.
A girl who has been pampered and raised by her family since she was a child is suddenly subjected to a huge change; no one could bear such a blow.
His Ruan Ruan is already very strong. She didn't wallow in self-pity and lived so well on her own in the brigade.
"Don't worry, Ruan Ruan, your parents will be back in the city soon. After we get married, we'll go visit them together, okay?"
Since last year, there have been many cases of people being exonerated and returning to the city; it's just a matter of time before they are all reinstated.
"good."
Ruan Qiushui nodded, wondering how her parents would react if she suddenly brought a son-in-law along.
"Yesterday, Mom consulted the almanac and picked out a few auspicious days. Would you like to hear about them?"
Gu Changfeng looked on with anticipation, eager to marry his wife as soon as possible.
When were all of those times?
Ruan Qiushui picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks and held it to Gu Changfeng's mouth.
"Hmm."
Gu Changfeng took a slurp.
"March 16th, June 25th, and then it's Chinese New Year."
Gu Changfeng emphasized the date as March 16th, practically stating that he had chosen it outright.
His mother still has a lot of banknotes saved up, so there's no problem with paying for the bride price.
"Oh, then how about March 16th?"
That is, ten days later.
It would be good to marry into the family sooner, so I wouldn't have to run back and forth to the clinic every day.
If unmarried men and women go too frequently, who knows what the villagers will say about them?
“Great! I’ll go back and have my mother prepare it right away.”
Gu Changfeng was overjoyed to see Ruan Qiushui agree, and picked up his cane to walk out.
Ruan Qiushui looked at the lunchbox in her hand and thought, "Fine, I'll just take it with me at noon. I'm going to the Gu family to treat Gu Changfeng anyway."
When Ruan Qiushui arrived at the Gu family home at noon, she was warmly welcomed by the entire family.
Even Gu Zhengyang and Gu Zhengming flattered her, eagerly handing her chopsticks, serving her food, and ladling soup.
After lunch, Ruan Qiushui took out the medicine packet she had prepared in her spatial storage and handed it to Xie Xiuying.
"I'd also like to trouble you to boil a big pot of bath water. After the water boils, put this medicine packet in. Changfeng will use it for a bath after his acupuncture treatment."
The medicine packet only contained some herbs to relax muscles and improve blood circulation; for the subsequent medicinal bath, spiritual spring water had to be added.
"Okay, okay, Auntie will go right away."
This is the hope for the third child's recovery, so whatever Ruan Yatou says goes.
"Eldest and second eldest sons, come and help me."
Xie Xiuying waved and called Zhou Lan and He Chunhua in to help with starting the fire and fetching water.
"The eldest, second, and fourth brothers, they've got some sense. When they have nothing to do, they go fetch water and wash the bathtub while they're at it."
Gu Guangrong tapped his pipe.
The bathtub at home has been sitting unused for a long time and is so dirty it's unsightly.
"yes."
The three of them quickly grabbed buckets and headed out; they had to finish fetching water soon before they were due to start work.
"Go inside, I'll give you acupuncture."
Ruan Qiushui poked Gu Changfeng's shoulder; his muscles were quite firm.
"Take off your clothes and pants and lie down on the bed."
Ruan Qiushui closed the door, moved two stools to the bedside, and placed a bag of silver needles on one of them.
"good."
Gu Changfeng obeyed and quickly took off his coat.
Xie Xiuying was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to wear clothes, so she specially sewed two cardigan-style jackets with ties for him.
"Do I need to take my pants all off?"
Gu Changfeng gripped his waistband with one hand, somewhat hesitant. They weren't married yet; this wasn't a good idea.
Although he really wanted to show off his physique, he was afraid that Ruan Ruan wouldn't be able to resist.
"Take it off, you're not without underwear underneath."
Could it be that Gu Changfeng has a habit of leaving the car in neutral?
Even if you are completely naked, you are no different from an ordinary person in front of a doctor.
"oh."
Gu Changfeng slowly took off his pants, revealing a pair of gray shorts underneath.
Gu Changfeng discreetly observed Ruan Qiushui's expression and felt somewhat disappointed.
Why didn't Ruan Ruan react at all? She wasn't excited or shy. Those were eight-pack abs! Didn't Ruan Ruan want to slide down their abs?
"Lie down, move a little closer to me."
Ruan Qiushui, without looking to the side, located the acupoint and placed two fingers of her left hand on Gu Changfeng's arm. With her right hand, she picked up the silver needle and slowly rotated it evenly back and forth at an angle of less than 45 degrees, inserting it vertically under the skin.
Ruan Qiushui was completely focused, sweat beading on her forehead and nose, and finally completed her first acupuncture session after twenty minutes.
