He Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at the man's profile: "We don't need those in Nanshi, these are enough for us.
And didn’t you say, are you ready? So talk to your parents and tell them not to waste their money. ”
It’s better to save time now to avoid being targeted, which would be disastrous.
Hearing her implied meaning, Gu Cheng'an agreed with a smile and then put the backpack on the ground.
Seeing this, He Wanqing remembered something and immediately ran over and took the backpack he had placed on the ground into the house.
And when no one noticed, he took out two of the three ginsengs placed in the space.
Just~
Looking at the ginseng in her hand that had grown a little bigger, and the soil on it, her little heart trembled, and an idea flashed through her mind.
Just as he had an idea, it was interrupted by He's mother who followed him in.
Helplessly, she put the ginseng down, then stood up and walked to her mother, whispering what happened in her ear.
After learning that there were ginseng, astragalus and rehmannia in the backpack, He's mother rolled her eyes at her and took the basket into her room.
Finally, she came out of her room holding cucumber fragrance and some wild vegetables, walked to Grandma He and Grandma Shen and said a few words, then went into the kitchen with Aunt He and others to prepare dinner.
Today's meal is the first time that Gu Cheng'an has eaten here as their family's son-in-law, so the food must not be bad.
While He's mother and others went into the kitchen to cook dinner, He Jiadong and his brothers moved the betrothal gifts brought by Gu Cheng'an into the house and delivered them to He Wanqing's room.
The person at the door saw that all his belongings were gone and smoke was coming out of the kitchen chimney, so he turned around and went home.
Just from the way they kept looking back every few steps, it was not difficult to tell that everyone was still very envious of today's betrothal gifts.
Thinking about the huge amount of betrothal gifts and the even higher amount of bride price, everyone was envious and made the same decision, which was to go to the Xu family and make the announcement to annoy He Cao and the others.
Thinking about what they needed to do, in order to avoid being overtaken by others, the few people who were supposed to go home to cook directly told their daughters-in-law and daughters to go home to cook. Then the group split into two groups, one group went to He Daniu's house next door, and the other group went to Xu's house.
Inside the house.
Grandpa He looked at Gu Cheng'an standing with his granddaughter. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and the corners of his mouth never fell.
Grandpa Shen and his friends were the same as him. When they thought of the things they had just seen and the handsome future son-in-law in front of them, they were so happy.
Now they are extremely happy about He Cao's approach of snatching people away.
"Cheng'an, how old are your grandparents, and your grandparents?"
"By the way, Cheng'an, how many people are there in your family? Do you live together or separately?"
Suddenly remembering that he hadn't asked the two old people about this matter properly, he looked at each other and instantly became worried again, fearing that there would be many conflicts if there were too many people in his family living together.
Knowing what they were worried about, Gu Chengan smiled and told them about the situation at home.
His grandfather is sixty-four and has just retired to live at home. His grandmother passed away a few years ago.
His father is the eldest son, he is 46 this year and is the commander of the Southern Military Region, his mother is a military doctor and is 44 this year.
There are three brothers in their family. He is the eldest and he has two younger brothers who are also in the army.
He also has a second uncle, a third uncle, and a younger aunt.
My second uncle’s family also has three boys, and all of them are doctors.
My third uncle worked at the Nanshi Textile Factory, where he was the factory director. He had two boys and a girl.
Gu Xiaogu and his wife work in a cotton mill. Her uncle-in-law was injured and retired, and is now the deputy director of the factory. Her aunt is the director of the Women's Federation in the factory. The couple has two sons and two daughters.
As for his grandmother's family, they were not with them; they were in Beijing.
His grandfather is the same age as his grandfather and is also preparing to retire, while his grandmother has been dead for many years.
Her mother had six brothers and sisters, and now only her mother, eldest uncle and third uncle are left; the rest have all died.
My two uncles each have three sons, some are in the army, some work in the government, and some are still in school.
After briefly introducing the family members, Gu Cheng'an sat up straight and waited for them to ask questions again.
As he finished speaking, the room fell completely silent.
They didn't expect that his family was so remarkable.
Military families, and martyrs.
Compared to Grandpa He's worries, Grandpa Shen's is much simpler.
There were also people in his family who had sacrificed their lives. Even his now disabled son was left behind in the war, so there was nothing to worry about.
What's more, my son-in-law and his father are all in the army, so they are better than most.
"Cheng'an, when your mission is over, ask your grandfather and your grandfather who is about to retire to come over. We two old men will take them out to play."
As soon as Grandpa Shen finished speaking, Grandpa He, who seemed to remember something, also spoke up, saying the same thing, that his family was very welcome to come over.
"Well, my grandfather also said that he had been here before, and he also said that he would come back to visit after I finished my mission."
Thinking of his grandfather's words, Gu Cheng'an pursed his lips and said nothing.
"That's great. When your mission is over, let him come. Then we can take him to revisit those places."
"Yes, I'll make sure he doesn't want to go back."
"good."
As the topic was discussed, the atmosphere in the room returned to the lively scene just now.
Unlike the main house, the kitchen is very quiet. Apart from the sounds of cooking in the pot, there are also quiet discussions.
Grandma He and Grandma Shen helped to prepare the dishes while planning the dowry.
On the other side, Aunt He and a few others were also planning the dowry, but they had limited money, so there wasn't much they could offer as a dowry.
After the three of them had decided on the items, they talked to Grandma He about it, and with her nod, the dowry was officially confirmed.
Only He's mother was counting the money in the family and what she could buy.
At the same time, I was thinking about going to the commune tomorrow to call my husband and son and ask them to send things and money back.
He Wanqing, who was being discussed by several people, was currently steaming buns and steamed buns in Uncle He's kitchen with several of her cousins.
While listening to them joking, I also listened to them talking about how to deal with the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She didn’t leave the kitchen until the buns in the pot were cooked and she put the buns she had wrapped in the pot into the steamer with a red face.
I walked to the well to wash the flour off my hands, then sat in the yard listening to my sisters-in-law discussing their future life and aspirations.
I could hear the He Daniu family next door cursing in the yard.
Dinner will be ready soon.
A pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a pot of pork, radish and vermicelli stewed, a pot of salmon trout stewed with tofu, a pot of sweet and sour pork, a pot of stir-fried meat with cucumber, and a pot of braised spareribs.
The dishes were plated separately and placed on the three tables. A plate of salted duck eggs and egg sauce was also added to each table.
Finally, the steamed buns and steamed bread were served, as well as the wild vegetable and egg soup, and dinner officially began.
Su Benjun, who had just been called to have dinner together, looked at the sumptuous food on the table and then at the happy-looking family, and the words on his lips turned to congratulations.
Because he was so happy, Grandpa He took out his treasured wine.
He only poured a sip for each of them to taste, and finally changed to sorghum liquor.
