Chapter 1805 Just call me Third Sister or Ayu
These were all preliminary procedures. After the reading was finished, Yuan Gui knelt down, served tea to Granny Fang, and presented her with the gifts he had prepared as a sign of respect.
The items are generally not expensive, just everyday necessities like rice, oil, and salt.
Grandma Fang also prepared a new set of clothes for Yuangui, which she had made well in advance, and gave him a red envelope as well.
Now that the red envelope has been given, Yuan Gui should change his address.
Whether it was due to nervousness or excitement, at this crucial moment, Yuan Gui opened his mouth, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
The people in the main room immediately stopped talking, and all eyes were on him.
Yuan Gui's eyes reddened. Only now did he feel a sense of reality—he really had family.
He had been alone since childhood, without any support, like a rootless duckweed. Now, suddenly, it seemed as if he had roots and a home. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, a bittersweet mix of emotions.
Grandma Fang looked at him, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She didn't urge him, but waited for him quietly and patiently, and even waved her hand to tell the old village chief not to speak.
After Yuan Guixin slowly landed from mid-air, the name that had been rolling in her throat countless times finally came out.
"grandmother!"
The tears that had been swirling in Grandma Fang's eyes finally fell with a 'plop'.
"Hey, hey, I'm here, A-Gui, get up quickly."
She rushed over, helped him up, patted his arm, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good boy, good boy."
The old village chief laughed heartily, "The ceremony is complete, let the feast begin."
As everyone offered their congratulations, they crowded around each other and walked out of the courtyard, where someone had already brought out the cold dishes.
Grandma Fang, holding Yuan Gui's hand with her left hand and Shu Yu's hand with her right, walked happily towards the main table.
Besides the three of them, Meng Pei, the old village chief, several respected elders from the village, and the Guan family were also at the main table. The table was bustling with activity.
The hot dishes were served quickly, and after a few rounds of drinks, people from several tables took turns coming over to toast Grandma Fang and the others.
Grandma Fang couldn't drink alcohol, so she substituted tea for wine. She was so happy that she accepted everything offered.
She held Shu Yu's hand and said, "I heard everything from A Gui. He almost refused to acknowledge his relatives, but your words made him change his mind."
Yuan Gui, who was sitting on the other side, naturally heard this. He was a little embarrassed, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Shu Yu, "Lu Xiangjun, thank you for your guidance that day. Otherwise, I would have been stuck in a rut and missed such a good fortune."
Shu Yu picked up the small wine glass on the table and took a small sip. "No need to be so polite. Besides, you are now my great-aunt's grandson, and you are a few years older than me, so you are my elder brother. According to the birth order of our generation, I am the third among the girls, and the other brothers and sisters all call me A Yu. You can also call me A Yu, or Third Sister."
Yuan Gui blushed immediately. How could he possibly say that?
Today, not only has he gained a grandmother, but also a younger sister, who is none other than Lu Xiangjun. Why is he so flustered?
Shu Yu knew he wasn't used to it yet, "It's okay, take your time. There's plenty of time later, you'll get used to it."
Yuan Gui breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting back down, he lowered his head and muttered to himself, sometimes calling her Third Sister, sometimes A Yu, thinking that once he had practiced well, it wouldn't be a problem to call her that in front of her.
