After Gu Xingfan visited the Lin family, their marriage was officially put on the agenda, and Gu Xingfan specially asked Director Zhong to be the matchmaker.
Director Zhong can be said to have watched Gu Xingfan grow up, and he is also a highly cultured person, so it is most appropriate for him to be the matchmaker.
Liu Mei has been in high spirits these past two days, and she walks with a breeze under her feet. After all, whose daughter can have Director Zhong personally come to propose marriage to her? This is so glorious that even her arch-enemy Duan Yunyun has been avoiding her recently.
After both parties reached an agreement, Grandpa Gu chose an auspicious day and went to propose marriage.
After the two families reached an agreement, the Gu family paid a betrothal gift of 188 yuan. As for the rest, Lin Yanbai already had a watch, so they agreed to buy the remaining three of the four major items, plus other miscellaneous items.
No matter how jealous Lin Wan was or how much she wanted to sabotage it, the marriage was successfully arranged and the wedding date was set for a month later.
Grandpa Gu was very pleased: "I originally thought that my old bones might not see this brat get married, but I didn't expect it... As expected, there is always a way out!"
In the following days, both the Lin and Gu families began to prepare for the wedding. It is worth mentioning that this system is really user-friendly. The items drawn in the past two days are all useful for the wedding.
For example, the day before yesterday she won a four-piece bedding set, yesterday she won a wedding dress, and today she won two large camphorwood boxes. The wedding dress wouldn't be needed for her wedding, and she was afraid she'd be criticized if she wore it.
However, she particularly liked the four-piece sets and boxes, especially the two large boxes. They were simple and heavy, with dark red bodies and brass wrapped corners. If you got close, you could smell the faint wood fragrance emitted by the camphor wood.
What surprised Lin Yanbai the most was that there was a secret compartment inside the box. It was very hidden and could not be seen at all. It could be said to be a must-have for every home.
Grandpa Gu is very understanding. He knows that young people nowadays don’t like to live with their elders, so he specifically discussed with them the issue of where to live after they get married.
After some discussion, they found a suitable property less than 500 meters outside the compound. It had a small yard and wasn't very large, but it was close to the compound, only a three or four minute walk away.
It was only then that Lin Yanbai truly understood how wealthy her boyfriend, no, future husband, was. She'd been running around looking for houses these past few days, and all of them were under Gu Xingfan's name.
Because his maternal grandfather was a patriotic businessman, his parents were revolutionary martyrs, and his grandfather had made great contributions on the battlefield, so in addition to the part he handed over to the country, he also had a considerable amount of wealth, and others did not dare to take advantage of him easily.
Lin Yanbai finally understood why someone in the original novel said that Gu Xingfan traveled thousands of miles to deliver equipment to the male protagonist. According to his conditions, it can almost be said that everything the original male protagonist had was the convenience provided by Gu Xingfan, whether it was money, connections or real estate.
This... is definitely a cannon fodder, and it is confirmed that he sent equipment thousands of miles away.
Lin Yanbai did not forget Wang Shuang, the cheerful girl from the supply and marketing cooperative, and even sent her an invitation. Wang Shuang sent her warm blessings and asked her to come and buy things with her marriage certificate after she got it.
The closer it got to the wedding date, the more nervous Gu Xingfan became. In fact... he had never thought that there would be such a day. He thought that he would always be alone, accompanying his grandfather and Aunt Chen.
For some reason, before he met her, he felt more and more that life was a painful thing, boring and tiring, and even often had uncontrollable thoughts of suicide in his mind. If Lin Yanbai knew, she would probably say that this was the magic of the plot!
Under the control of such emotions, he felt that sooner or later his psychological defenses would completely collapse and he would eventually commit suicide. But after meeting her, she brought sunshine to him.
These days, even his grandfather said that he looked much more cheerful than before. He originally thought that he would live out his life alone, but now he is sure that she will be his partner in the future!
The Gu family welcomed two uninvited guests that day, Gu Xingfan's uncle Gu Changrong and aunt Gu Changyue.
"Dad, I heard that Xingfan is getting married? Why didn't you inform us about such a big thing?" Gu Changyue asked dissatisfiedly.
"Hmph!" Grandpa Gu snorted coldly, looking unwelcome to the two's arrival. "Weren't you two well-informed and rushed here without any notice?"
Gu Changyue felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He looked at his elder brother standing next to him.
Idiot! Gu Changrong cursed in his heart. Before she came, we had agreed to let her say something nice to appease Dad, but she came and questioned him as soon as she opened her mouth!
"Dad, don't be angry. You know Changyue's mouth is so loose! We just heard from others that Xingfan is getting married. After all, he is our nephew. We can't pretend that we don't know about it!"
Grandpa Gu sat upright on the sofa, holding a cane in his hand. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at his eldest son. Indeed, he understood Chang Yue, but he also understood him.
As his eldest son, he says one thing to one person and another thing to another. When you are useful to him, he will praise you to the sky, but if you are useless, he will discard you like a worn-out shoe.
What chilled Grandpa Gu the most was his cruelty. He could not forget what his good uncle did to Gu Xingfan when he was a child!
After a long while, Grandpa Gu's voice drifted out, "You guys can go back! I, an old man, will take care of Xingfan's marriage. You guys just need to take care of your own business. You don't need to interfere in this matter!"
Gu Changyue was about to say something when he was stopped by Gu Changrong. "Okay, Dad, you should get some rest. Changrong and I will be leaving first. We have things to do at the bureau! On the wedding day, Changyue and I will come over to congratulate you!"
Having said that, he pulled Gu Changyue and walked out.
"Brother, why did you stop me from speaking just now?" After walking out the door, Gu Changyue finally couldn't help it.
"Changyue, look at how determined Dad is. He won't let us interfere in Xingfan's marriage!"
Hearing this, Gu Changyue felt a little frustrated: "Then what should we do? Big Brother, you have to think of a way. If he really gets married and has children, we really won't have that money..."
Hearing Gu Changyue casually speaking out their purpose without any reservations about the people around them, Gu Changrong quickly covered her mouth.
"Shut up, what are you talking about? We are just uncle and aunt, and we want to do something for our nephew. Changyue, watch your mouth!"
Looking at his elder brother's sanctimonious appearance, Gu Changyue pulled away his hand that was covering his mouth and nodded perfunctorily: "I know, I know! You're still hiding it from me, you're so funny..."
Gu Changrong: ...I want to strangle her to death!
