The two families sat together to discuss the two newlyweds. Tang Xiaoxiao had already thought about many things in her mind, so there was nothing much to discuss, but they still had to go through the process.
The betrothal gift and other matters had been discussed before. Tang Xiaoxiao had no objection, and neither did their parents. Unlike some families who relied on marrying off their daughters to make money, they had no shortage of that little bit of money, so as long as they treated Xiaoxiao well, that was enough.
But they also expressed their attitude. They respect their daughter's wishes, which does not mean that they do not love her. In their hearts, they do not want their daughter to marry far away, but their daughter likes them and they do not want her to be sad.
Tang Xiaoxiao's mother said gently, "My dear relatives, Xiaoxiao has told us all this, and we have no objection."
"We've prepared 1,010 yuan for the dowry, and we won't add anything for the household." The woman's family will add some furniture for the household, but since it's far away, they won't buy any.
"We don't care about that, as long as the two of them are fine."
It was originally a matter of procedure. Both parties were easy to talk to, and they settled it in just a few simple words. It was already agreed upon, but the two parties had not met formally. This can be considered a formal meeting.
Gu Lang's mother said enthusiastically, "My dear relatives, let's have lunch at home. After lunch, let Xiaoxiao take you back to rest for a while. You must be tired after the long journey."
Tang Xiaoxiao's mother said, "Will it be a bit disturbing for us to come here with so many people? We can just go out to eat. No need to bother. We are all unprepared for such a large group coming here."
As they were talking, Gu Feng arrived. It turned out that Lu Wanwan was worried that someone would come suddenly at home and they were not prepared, so she asked Gu Feng to come and bring some food. Lu Wanwan took a piece of beef, a piece of pork, a chicken, a duck, a fish, and two cans of canned food from the space and asked Gu Feng to deliver them.
"Gu Feng, why are you here?"
"Uncle and aunt, Wanwan asked me to come over and deliver some things."
Gu Lang was surprised when he took the things. He felt that Gu Feng was a living Lei Feng. He had everything he needed. Although inviting guests to dinner was a must, the things at home would not be enough to entertain them well. Who could prepare such a complete set of dishes at home? Although he could eat his fill, it was just enough to fill his stomach.
Now there is nothing to worry about. He will definitely entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law well. The table is full of delicious dishes. Gu Lang is grateful to Gu Feng and his sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Xiaoxiao introduced, "Mom and Dad, this is Gu Lang's cousin, and also my good friend's husband, his name is Gu Feng."
Gu Feng greeted politely, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Hello."
"I'm going back first." Thinking that this atmosphere was not good, I should leave quickly.
Gu Lang smiled and said, "Gu Feng, thank you for making the trip."
"It's a bit awkward to say this between brothers." After saying that, he left.
After dinner, Tang Xiaoxiao took her parents and sisters-in-law back to rest. Since Wanwan's room was still there, they could rest for a while. Her parents followed Tang Xiaoxiao to her room. Jiang Rou was stunned when she entered. Was she seeing things? It didn't look like Xiaoxiao lived alone here.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw her parents standing at the door in a daze and said considerately, "Mom, what's wrong? Come in and rest for a while. You must be tired from traveling all the way here."
Jiang Rou asked calmly, "Xiaoxiao, do you live here alone?"
Tang Xiaoxiao whispered, "No, Gu Lang moved in with me after he got engaged?"
Jiang Rou was a little angry. "Xiaoxiao, you haven't gotten married yet, how can you live together? Have you done that? I taught you girls to be reserved since you were young. How can you do this? Is it his request?"
"Mom, it's not what you think. A lot of things happened when I came here. I twisted my ankle a while ago and couldn't walk, so Gu Lang moved here to take care of me."
"You twisted your ankle. Is it okay now? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell us so we could come and take care of you?"
"You're all busy, so I don't want to make you worry."
"Don't do this anymore. No matter how busy you are, your business is more important. What happened when you came here?"
Tang Xiaoxiao told her parents what happened to Lu Wanwan, saying that Wanwan would be worried about being alone after getting married, and since Gu Lang was interested in me and I also had a good impression of him, she asked him to protect me, and that's how we developed feelings for each other.
"So how's that girl you mentioned doing now?"
"She's pregnant too. I'll let you meet her someday. She's helped me a lot here."
"She's pregnant too? You don't want to say that you're pregnant too?" Jiang Rou couldn't accept it. Her cabbage was kicked out by the pig before she even got married.
"Mom, that woman drugged Gu Feng, and Gu Lang drank it by mistake. Then we had sex, and we haven't avoided each other since then." Not only did they not avoid each other, they also hung out together every day.
Jiang Rou felt a little distressed for her daughter. "You have grown up and have your own ideas. Mom hopes you will be happy."
"Mom, Gu Lang is very good to me. We are studying together now and we are going to take the entrance exam for Jingshi University. Then I will be closer to you."
"Okay, we want to meet Gu Lang alone later. Tell him to come over later."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, you take a rest, I'll go find him." Looking at Xiaoxiao whose heart had already wandered away, the old couple smiled helplessly. It seems that girls just like to go outward.
When she arrived at Gu Lang's house, her three brothers and two nephews had gone to rest, and Gu Lang's parents had also gone back to their own room to rest. She went directly to Gu Lang's room to chat with him. Gu Lang was in a daze, and he hadn't taken care of the whole family yet.
"Gu Lang, my parents want to see you alone."
"No problem, let your parents rest for a while, and we'll go over later. Why do you miss me?" He saw Xiaoxiao rubbing against his arms.
"Yeah, it seems like it's really awkward without you around."
"After we get married, I will always be by your side and will never leave you for a moment."
"We still have to work, go to school and raise children. How can we be as well off as you say you are?"
"Xiaoxiao doesn't want to leave me for a moment."
"Of course, you are mine, so of course I have to occupy you."
"It's up to you. You can rest in my room for a while."
Tang Xiaoxiao was already sleepy due to her pregnancy, and she did fall asleep shortly after she finished speaking. When Xiaoxiao woke up, Gu Lang took her to find his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The situation was already decided, so he probably wanted to say something to him. The most difficult part was the three brothers-in-law.
"Mom and Dad, Gu Lang is here. Don't you want to talk to him?"
Tang Xiaoxiao paced back and forth outside the house. She couldn't hear the conversation inside and could only worry.
"Little sister, don't worry. Mom and Dad just want to talk to Gu Lang about something. We've all been through this, so just relax."
"Yeah, if you want to worry about that, you should worry about your brothers, right? Don't you see that their smiles are uglier than their tears?"
The two sisters-in-law were comforting Xiaoxiao when the door opened from the inside. Tang Xiaoxiao was relieved when she saw Gu Lang coming out. Gu Lang felt that Xiaoxiao really had parents who loved her and they respected any decision she made.
He thought they would ask him to do something and make some promises, but he didn't expect that they would just ask him to take good care of Xiaoxiao and be more accommodating to Xiaoxiao. If he didn't like her anymore, don't hurt her, and their family will take her away. The two people begged him so much, which touched him deeply. That's why he couldn't bear to hurt Xiaoxiao.
