Su Zhaodi quickly tried to smooth things over: "My brother has a gentle personality and is very good to my sisters. He always thinks of us when he has good things. When he gets married, he will definitely be a good man who loves his wife. Fenzi, don't you think so? Where can you find a good man like my brother!"
Shen Dafen smiled awkwardly: “Yes.”
The fish in her mouth felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat and suddenly became unpalatable. She couldn't swallow it for a long time. She stared at Su Jianshan and found that he had been taking good care of Su Niannian the whole time. There were both meat and vegetables on the table, and even the meat vegetables were divided into good and bad ones. The best fat meat was all quickly picked up by Su Jianshan and put into his sister's bowl. On the other hand, Su Jianshan never greeted Su Zhaodi from beginning to end. The statement that he loved his sister was a bit untenable.
Even a fool knows that he likes pretty girls.
Shen Dafen curled her lips.
After dinner, Shen Xiu'e created an opportunity for the two to sit side by side and chat. Su Jianshan had never been shy since he was a child. He felt particularly comfortable sitting in front of Shen Dafen. He even grabbed two handfuls of pumpkin seeds from the eaves and handed them to her, asking enthusiastically, "Do you want to eat pumpkin seeds?"
Pumpkin seeds are a rare thing, and ordinary people really can’t eat them casually. It’s just that the Su family is a little more wealthy this year and found a military officer grandson-in-law, and their economic conditions have risen sharply. Shen Dafen swallowed her saliva and said, “No.”
The next second,
Su Jianshan clumsily peeled pumpkin seeds. The peeled pumpkin seeds were full and fell into the enamel bowl he had prepared. It was obviously prepared for others. Shen Daifen felt a little better. She fiddled with the corner of her clothes with her hands and asked in a low voice: "Brother Su, can I ask you a question?"
"you say."
"If Su Zhaodi and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save?!"
Su Jianshan suddenly recalled the half bowl of pumpkin seeds that Su Zhaodi had snatched away yesterday. His eyes were instantly filled with disdain. He said without hesitation, "Save you!"
Shen Dafen blushed. To be honest, Su Jianshan was tall and strong, and she actually liked him in her heart. "Then I'll let you choose between me and your sister Su Niannian. Who will you choose?!"
Su Jianshan glanced at her like she was an idiot: "Do you still need to ask?"
"Yes."
"My sister!"
After that, Su Jianshan stood up and handed the peeled pumpkin seeds to Su Niannian who was sitting at the eaves. He raised his voice and said, "Sister, eat all of this!"
That doting tone was completely different from his indifference towards other people, and that bowl of pumpkin seeds was not prepared for her, and Shen Dafen’s face turned dark.
She grabbed Su Jianshan's arm and said straight to the point: "She is your sister, not your wife. Why are you so nice to her?! Can't even your future wife be better than your sister? Do you know what is more important..."
Su Jianshan impatiently shook off her hand: "Of course my sister is the most important, no one can compare to her!"
"..."
Shen Daifen stomped her feet, turned around and ran away in anger.
Su Niannian, holding a bowl of pumpkin seeds, was stunned on the spot. In order to avoid being blamed by Shen Xiu'e, she simply hid in the inner room and told the old lady everything that happened in the courtyard. Things turned out like this, and Wang Guifen was extremely helpless. She curled her lips and said, "This old Shen family is really a bag of jealous people. She asked these questions before she even got married.
It seems that this personality is not suitable for your brother, it doesn’t matter, grandma still has a lot of resources here…"
Wang Guifen smiled mysteriously and took out a stack of three-inch photos from the pillow, all of which were given by the matchmaker.
In the past, Su Jianshan had never received such treatment, but now it was different. Their Su family had a son-in-law who was an officer, and Su Jianshan had worked in the army before, so his status rose and even the matchmaker took the initiative to send over candidates.
Su Niannian came closer and took a closer look at the photos. Needless to say, those little faces were either pretty, well-behaved, or bright. They were much prettier than those ugly ones before. Su Niannian was dumbfounded and said, "Brother's market is so good!"
“How can that be possible?!” Wang Guifen drooped her eyes and turned the photo over, revealing the notes on the back: “The one with the pigtails is lame, the girl with bangs has a problem with her ears, the girl with the mole on her eyebrow has three younger brothers who need help, and the most beautiful one is a pity, she’s mute…”
"..."
Su Niannian pressed the photo on the bed and laughed angrily.
"So Dafen is the best candidate tonight?"
"You are too narrow-minded to be with your brother. I will choose again."
"Grandma, why do you suddenly want to find a wife for my brother? I can see that he doesn't seem very happy about it. He doesn't even know what a wife is. Is it appropriate to tie two people together like this?!" A trace of melancholy appeared between Su Niannian's brows. To be honest, she felt that none of the so-called resources in Wang Guifen's hands were worthy of Su Jianshan.
"Grandma is old, she will be in the coffin when she kicks her legs. Your second aunt is a quibble-maker, and your brother can't compete with her. It's always good to have someone who understands you by your side! As for you and Xiao Gu, you are fine. Grandma believes that the child is not bad, and there is no need for me to worry. Now, your brother is the only one left..."
Wang Guifen patted her granddaughter's hand and persuaded her to go back to her room with a few words. She then put on the reading glasses that Su Niannian bought for her and carefully looked at the photo in her hand.
Separated by a wall.
Gu Zhiye had already finished washing up and lay down. When Su Niannian entered the room, the man immediately got out of bed and poured out the hot water from the thermos for her with ease. He even wrung out the handkerchief before handing it to Su Niannian. It is indeed different after being married. There is someone who understands your feelings and they can take care of each other.
Su Niannian's eyes gradually became gentler, and she focused more on Gu Zhiye. The latter seemed to notice something and smiled, "What? Is there something dirty on my face?!"
Su Niannian pursed her lips and explained in a low voice: "No, grandma asked me to be nice to you."
Gu Zhiye bent down, washed Su Niannian's feet, and wiped the water droplets off her legs. Then he hugged his wife and got into bed. He smiled and said, "Very good."
When young men and women stay in the same bed, sparks fly in the air when they look at each other for a few more times. It is hard to tell who kissed first, and their breathing gradually becomes disordered.
Suddenly, Gu Zhiye raised his eyes, his pupils were dark, Su Niannian was too scared to look into his eyes, the man said in a low voice: "Wife, I love you."
