Today, red lanterns were hung inside and outside the house of Gu Yueshan and Yi Wei. After Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan returned to the yard, they went to see the children first.
The child had fallen asleep. Yi Wei sat next to the crib, touched his little face, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then got up and went back to the room with Gu Yueshan.
Gu Yueshan took Yi Wei's hand and walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at him and said, "Are you tired today?"
"Not bad." Yi Wei looked up at the red lanterns and said, "The whole room is red. I feel a little dizzy when I see it. It may also be because I drank too much when I was toasting."
"Then go to bed early." Gu Yueshan said as he hugged Yi Wei in his arms.
Yi Weizuo pushed Gu Yueshan down, laid on top of him and said, "But I don't want to go to bed so early, after all, it's our wedding night."
"Okay." Gu Yueshan said while hugging Yi Wei's waist.
………………………………
The next morning, after Yi Wei woke up, he held his waist and prepared to get up. Gu Yueshan's hand gently pulled him and he fell back into his arms.
Yi Wei complained: "You told me to go to bed early. You said nice things, but you acted like a hooligan every time. I told you I wanted to go to bed, but you didn't let me."
"So didn't I tell you that once I start, it will be difficult for me to stop." Gu Yueshan said seriously.
“Then you…you…” Yi Wei thought of what happened last night and his face turned red, unable to continue.
"It's so beautiful." Gu Yueshan exclaimed as he looked at Yi Wei's rosy face, with an obsessed look in his eyes.
Yi Wei lowered his head and leaned into Gu Yueshan's arms.
The two of them spent a long time whispering to each other before getting up, washing up and having breakfast.
Although Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan have been married for some time, their wedding was only held yesterday, so today is considered their first day of marriage. He received a lot of red envelopes, gifts and presents yesterday. Today he has to go to various elders to return the gifts and recognize his relatives. Gu Yueshan will accompany him.
The first place they went to was of course Ye Feng's place, where they gave a return gift, sat for a while and drank a cup of tea, and then left.
The second place they went to was Xu Hua's place. Knowing that Gu Yueshan would also be there, Jiang Shuqin and Gu Heng were waiting there, and even Yi Xuan was there.
After Yi Wei presented the gift, he walked over to sit opposite Jiang Shuqin and said with a smile, "I personally picked out a few gifts for Second Aunt and Sister-in-law, as well as Gu Heng and Yi Xuan. I hope you like them."
"You are thoughtful." Xu Hua said lightly.
"It's my duty." Yi Wei looked at Gu Heng and Yi Xuan and said, "Open it and see if you like it. If you are not satisfied, I can prepare it for you again."
Gu Heng and Yi Xuan didn't move at first. Only after Xu Hua coughed lightly did they open the box containing the gift and take a look.
Gu Yueshan took a sip of tea and then looked up at them.
After feeling Gu Yueshan's gaze, Gu Heng immediately said, "I like the gift very much. Thank you, Fourth Aunt."
"Thank you... Fourth Aunt." Yi Xuan also said in a low voice.
Yi Wei smiled and said, "As long as you like it, it's good. Although we had some conflicts before, it's actually not a big deal. If I, as an elder, still hold a grudge against you, I would be lacking the tolerance that an elder should have. We are all family now, so let's get along well in the future, what do you think?"
Gu Heng was angered by the attitude and tone of Yi Wei's elders, but since his fourth uncle was here, he didn't dare to show any anger or dissatisfaction, and could only say: "Fourth Aunt is right."
Yi Wei looked at Jiang Shuqin and said, "Sister-in-law, you have worked so hard to take care of Second Aunt and Gu Heng over the years. When Gu Heng and Yi Xuan get married in a year or two, I will be able to manage all the big and small things in the Gu family. When the time comes, as long as there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask. Don't be polite to me."
Jiang Shuqin felt upset when Yi Wei kept calling her sister-in-law, and Yi Wei's words made her feel even more uncomfortable. However, she could only grit her teeth and suppress the uncomfortable feeling in her heart. She pretended to be calm and said, "Gu Heng and Yi Xuan are still too young. There is no rush to get married."
"I heard before that Gu Heng and Yi Xuan were going to get married as soon as they graduated. From what my sister-in-law said, they are going to postpone the wedding date?" Yi Wei pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
"There's no reason, it's just that they are both too young and need to cultivate and polish their relationship. Besides, they are both career-oriented people. They can't get married with peace of mind without any achievements in their careers," said Jiang Shuqin.
"Gu Heng and Yi Xuan grew up together and have a deep relationship. Do they need to cultivate and improve their relationship?" Yi Wei looked at Jiang Shuqin and said, "Also, the old saying of getting married first and then starting a career does make sense. If you haven't met the right person, it's okay to get married later. But they already have a foundation for love. Wouldn't it be better to get married earlier?"
"Why are you so anxious to get them married?" Jiang Shuqin said with a unhappy expression.
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I really don't mean anything else. I just thought that if Gu Heng and Yi Xuan could get married earlier, it would be the fulfillment of a wish that sister-in-law has had for many years. And if Second Aunt can have a great-grandson as soon as possible, it would be a great joy." Yi Wei turned to look at Gu Yueshan, pretending to observe his expression and said, "Husband, what do you think?"
"Yeah." Gu Yueshan said after taking a sip of tea: "Since we are already engaged, there is no need to delay the marriage."
As soon as Gu Yueshan said this, Jiang Shuqin, Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's faces changed.
"You are newly married and your child is just a hundred days old, so you don't have to worry about Gu Heng's marriage." Xu Hua said.
"No matter what, Gu Heng is the eldest brother's only child. As his elders, we should consider him more." Yi Wei looked at Xu Hua and said with a smile.
Xu Hua glanced at Yi Wei coldly, then said to Gu Yueshan: "It's not easy for you to get married and have your own children now. You chose the person yourself, so you should have no complaints. Just live a good life in the future. Those flowers and plants outside are just for fun, but don't cause any bad things and lose the face of the Gu family."
Xu Hua said these words deliberately just to test Gu Yueshan.
"..." Gu Yueshan was silent for a while and then said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I know what's going on."
"You'd better deal with the one in the riverside mansion as soon as possible." Xu Hua further probed.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt. Yue Shan said she wanted to let her go, but I didn't agree." Yi Wei smiled and said, "Let her stay for now. She won't stay for long anyway. I'm busy studying and taking care of the children now, so I'm bound to neglect Yue Shan. It's good to have someone to help me share the burden. When I graduate and the children grow up, those who should leave will leave. What do you think, husband?"
"Yeah." Gu Yueshan nodded and cooperated with Yi Wei's performance.
Xu Hua and Jiang Shuqin were shocked again. Xu Hua thought that she had never seen anyone like Yi Wei in her life and could not guess what he was thinking.
Yi Wei looked at their expressions and felt very pained trying not to laugh.
Gu Yueshan glanced at Yi Wei, then stood up and said, "It's getting late. We still have to go to Uncle Three and Uncle Four. Aunt Two, have a good rest. I'll come to see you when I'm free."
Gu Yueshan walked up to Yi Wei and stretched out his hand to him. Yi Wei stood up, and he took Yi Wei's hand and left.
Yi Xuan looked at Gu Yueshan's back. His secret love for this man over the years not only did not disappear, but his feelings for him seemed to have deepened during this period. And he clearly has violent tendencies, so why is Yi Wei so gentle?
"This is just too much of a bully!" Jiang Shuqin angrily slammed the table and said, "We just got married, and he's so impatient to kick us out. His face is so ugly and his mind is so vicious! I'm really pissed off!"
Jiang Shuqin stood up and looked at Xu Hua seriously and said, "Mom, if you don't find a way to suppress Yi Wei's arrogance, there will be no place for Gu Heng in the Gu family!"
Xu Hua glanced at Jiang Shuqin, sighed, then looked at Gu Heng and asked, "Did you hear anything just now?"
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly and said, "Grandmother was deliberately testing Fourth Uncle to see how he felt about the man who lived in the riverside mansion."
Xu Hua nodded, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't completely inherit his mother's personality and IQ, and then asked: "So what did you see from your fourth uncle's attitude just now?"
Gu Heng was stunned again, not knowing how to answer, because he was not sure what his fourth uncle's attitude just now meant.
"Your fourth uncle must know that I said these words on purpose to test him." Xu Hua suggested.
Gu Heng thought about it seriously, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
Jiang Shuqin looked at Gu Heng, then said to Xu Hua, "Mom, Gu Heng is so young, how could he possibly see through his fourth uncle's thoughts?"
"What about you?" Xu Hua looked at Yi Xuan again and asked, "You study psychology. Did you see anything just now?"
Yi Xuan was also stunned. He was only thinking about his own thoughts and was not paying attention to their conversation or thinking about its meaning. He and Gu Heng looked at each other. They were like students who were tested by their teacher without any preparation. Their minds were blank and they didn't know how to answer.
Xu Hua said with a cold and disappointed face, "Yi Wei and Yue Shan were newly married and their feelings were strong. When he spoke, he would observe Yue Shan's expression and judge the degree of his words according to Yue Shan's expression and attitude. And you are in this situation now, and Yi Wei is pressing you with words, but you are just staring blankly?! You two should really reconsider your marriage. If it really doesn't work out, just cancel the engagement. Don't just talk about feelings and have no room for other things in your mind."
"grandmother!"
"mom!"
Gu Heng and Jiang Shuqin shouted at the same time.
"I agree." Yi Xuan said suddenly.
Gu Heng turned his head abruptly and looked at Yi Xuan and said, "Yi Xuan, don't say angry words at this time!"
"I didn't say that in anger." Yi Xuan stood up and looked at Gu Heng and said seriously, "I think what the old lady said makes sense. Now is not the time for us to just talk about feelings. Before both of us have achieved a certain level of success, let's put aside all feelings and distractions."
"Then there's no need to cancel the engagement!" Gu Heng said anxiously.
"Only when you have a goal in mind can you have more motivation." Yi Xuan looked at Gu Heng and said, "You can also have more determination."
"You are still quite rational." Xu Hua said, "Let's settle this matter. This way, at least in the short term, you won't be forced to get married."
Gu Heng looked at his grandmother, then at Yi Xuan, his heart was in a panic and he was still a little slow to react. He hadn't even agreed yet, so how could it be decided like this?
Jiang Shuqin was also anxious, but she didn't know what to say.
Yi Wei followed Gu Yueshan again and prepared to go to the residence of his third uncle and fourth uncle. The children of his two uncles had already moved out, but the two uncles still lived in Gu's house. When the grandchildren grew up to a certain age, they would often return to Gu's house to live on the pretext of accompanying the elderly.
The two first went to the residence of Gu Yueshan's third uncle. Gu Yueshan's third uncle was very romantic when he was young. He was married three times and had four sons and two daughters. There were more than a dozen grandchildren in total, and they all arrived today.
Seeing Gu Yueshan and Yi Wei walk in, everyone in the room except the old man stood up and went to greet them.
Gu Yueshan’s eldest brother is the eldest of their generation. His third uncle’s eldest son is the third child, his fourth uncle’s eldest son is the second child, and Gu Yueshan is the fourth child.
After Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan sat down, the wife of Gu Yueshan's third cousin served them tea.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Yi Wei said.
"You're welcome." Lin Rong said with a smile.
"Is Third Uncle in good health these days?" Gu Yueshan asked.
"As for me, although I'm old, I'm still in good health and don't have any illness." Gu Shangxin said with a smile.
Gu Yueshan nodded and said, "When people get older, health is the most important thing. This is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money. Uncle San is blessed to be free of illness."
"Yes." Gu Shangxin sighed and said, "Although I am in good health, I am old after all, and my spirit is not as good as before. I have gradually paid less attention to the company's affairs. But fortunately, your brothers still have some ability and can help you."
"Uncle San is right. Brother San and Old Five are all very capable. Thanks to them, I have less to worry about." Gu Yueshan said.
"Over the years, under your leadership and management, the group has become better and stronger. Now I think that your grandfather really has a good vision and is good at training people. Thanks to you inheriting the Gu family's business, the Gu family has the current situation." Gu Shangxin sat up straight and looked at Gu Yueshan and said, "People outside always think that our family is fighting to the death. In fact, they just hope so in their hearts and want to see our Gu family collapse, so they think so. We are all flesh and blood relatives of the same family, what is there to fight? Isn't it better to unite and make the Gu family better and better? What do you think?"
"That's right." Gu Yueshan nodded in agreement, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Your nephews and nieces all admire you very much." Gu Shangxin pointed at his grandchildren and said, "If there is anyone among them that you like, please help me teach him. I will remember your kindness in my heart."
"Don't worry, Third Uncle. We are all family, so there is no need to be argumentative." Gu Yueshan followed up on his words that we are all one family, but did not make any actual promises.
The Gu family's family education is extremely strict. When the elders are talking, the younger ones sit quietly on the side. Even those who are only six or seven years old and are the most active, listen carefully without making a sound.
Yi Wei had just observed them. The way they looked at Gu Yueshan was indeed full of admiration, and they were more curious about him.
Gu Shangxin's older grandchildren all seem to have calm personalities, and are said to be very outstanding. Yi Wei felt that Gu Heng suffered from not having a father and grandfather, so in terms of character and ability, he was not as strong as Gu Shangxin's grandsons. However, he had the advantage of being Gu Yueshan's only nephew.
After they chatted for a while, Gu Yueshan got up and left with Yi Wei, and the whole family sent them to the door.
