At 2 p.m., everyone got up one after another to prepare for their trip to the countryside.
Sun Xuelin arrived at the door at this time, and Gu Sinian came along with him.
"You clearly have feelings for her, so why can't you come find her yourself? Why did you follow me all the way to the educated youth settlement just to catch a glimpse of her from afar? What's the point?"
He put his hand on Gu Sinian's shoulder, speaking in a lecturing tone as someone who had been through it all.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, you educated youth. With so many boys and so few girls, and Comrade Su being so beautiful, you'd better make your move first, or you'll have no one to cry to if she gets snatched away."
"You're just a rough guy who joined the army at eighteen. You don't know any sweet talk at all. You can't compare to those rascals sitting in the classroom."
"Don't say I didn't give you advice. You'll regret it when Comrade Su gets chased away by those rascals."
When it comes to sitting in a classroom and attending classes, Jiang Yibo is the kind of person who is very polite and refined.
Thinking about this made Gu Sinian a little insecure. After all, he had joined the army at the age of eighteen, and since then he had either been training or on his way to training.
Either he was on a mission and wanted to climb higher, then Grandpa and Grandma Su would agree to let him marry Su Ying. But before he could even go to Shanghai to propose, news came that she was already engaged.
He was heartbroken and didn't have the courage to go to Shanghai.
Aunt Su clearly promised to marry Su Ying to him, so why were Grandpa and Grandma Su in such a hurry to arrange the engagement?
This has been a problem that has been troubling him for a long time. With only one year left until the agreed time, the Gu family ran into trouble and a major movement broke out. The identities of the two of them became very sensitive words.
Fortunately, they were both sent to the same place, and they were quite destined to be together. Once she came, he had no intention of letting her go.
No matter why Jiang Yibo gave up on her, once he did, he wouldn't give her even the slightest chance.
Once you give up, there's no turning back.
Those spineless educated youths want to compete with him for people? Let's see if they have the ability.
"Do girls all like the kind of gentle, scholarly man?"
Sun Xuelin wasn't sure, so he stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Probably. My sister really liked that gentle, scholarly-looking guy at the educated youth settlement. I guess young girls all have similar tastes."
"What's so good about a weak scholar? He can't carry anything, so he's only suited to sitting in an office. He'd have a hard time living in the countryside. You'd better take care of your little sister, or you'll suffer for the rest of your life."
Sun Xuelin nodded in agreement, "I agree. Living in the countryside requires finding a man who can carry heavy loads; otherwise, are you going to bring back a tyrant to serve?"
“Those educated youth were fair-skinned and delicate, and their hands were never used to do any housework. They looked like they couldn’t endure hardship. Oh dear, what a tragedy! How could my sister have fallen for them? With her stubbornness, once she sets her sights on someone, she will never let go. Just thinking about this gives me a headache.”
Is that so?
"Yes."
Upon hearing Sun Xuelin's affirmative answer, Gu Sinian already had a general standard in mind.
He's a perfect match for Su Ying. Jiang Yibo, that weak scholar, can't do anything except say a few sweet words. He's definitely not suitable for a life together. Someone like him is much more reliable.
He'll reveal his identity to Su Ying later and ask her if she's willing to marry him. Otherwise, with his mother's personality, if she knew Qiao Xiyan had come to the countryside to find him, she'd probably send them to their wedding night right then and there.
Qiao Xiyan is too scheming. He dislikes her very much. The thought of spending the rest of his life with her makes him feel uncomfortable.
His mother is a restless person and has been busy arranging his personal life lately.
Although the Gu family has issues with their social class, his handsome face is undeniable, and many girls have expressed interest in him. Just thinking about those women who stared at him like infatuated lovers makes Gu Sinian's scalp tingle.
Why not marry someone you like?
Moreover, the person he has always wanted to marry is Su Ying, and this has not changed in the past ten years.
If it weren't for wanting to be worthy of her, he wouldn't have relentlessly taken on missions for four years, accepting whichever mission offered the fastest promotion, no matter how difficult the road ahead, he resolutely persevered to the end.
He became the group leader in just four years and was almost ready to propose marriage in Shanghai, but then this unexpected turn of events left him feeling helpless.
Their meeting in Willow Village signifies that they are destined to be together.
"Good to know, that's why men like me are more popular."
Sun Xuelin's lips twitched, his face full of helplessness. "You...sometimes you seem quite reliable, but..."
"But what?"
"Sometimes she can be quite narcissistic."
"I was just stating the facts."
"Whatever makes you happy. I have no objection."
"Shh! Behave yourself. Stop talking nonsense. Su Ying is coming. If my future wife runs away because of this, I'll hold you responsible."
"Let's talk about it when we can catch up. This is still far from settled, and you're already calling for a wife? You're really shameless."
"Whether I choose my reputation or my wife, I know exactly what I want."
"Alright, alright. You're pretty good, aren't you? I told you to make the first move, and you immediately called your wife. Impressive."
Sun Xuelin nudged Gu Sinian's shoulder with his own, raised an eyebrow, and said gloatingly.
"Comrade Su wants to build a big brick house as his wedding house. Do you really want to become a live-in son-in-law? Will your parents agree? You are the only male in your family."
"It's just about living together after marriage, how does that have to do with marrying into the family?"
“But your family is large, with more than ten people living together, which can lead to many conflicts. Wouldn’t it be better to live in Comrade Su’s newly built brick house after you get married?”
