Wu Baolian's soul, which was originally as light as smoke, has become much more solid after Zhao Qingshan's careful care for more than ten years.
Zhao Qingshan was originally very happy because of these changes, and he had no idea that he had become a "heartless man" in Aunt Gu's eyes.
Zhou Yuanyuan broke out in a cold sweat as she listened.
This Aunt Gu definitely doesn't know the secret between her granddaughter and Zhou Jiasheng, otherwise, she would definitely be a person who wants to cheat on her granddaughter. How big must her heart be to fuck such a girl and tell Zhao Qingshan such words? Isn't she afraid of being kicked out?
After all, Zhao Qingshan was an old man, and he was accused of being "ungrateful" and "unfaithful" by a girl like him. If he was a more sensible person, he would really be angry and embarrassed.
"Grandpa, my great-grandfather needs your help!" Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that Zhao Qingshan would get angry, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.
What Zhou Yuanyuan said was not false. General Zhou really wanted Zhao Qingshan's help for the marriage between Zhou Jiasheng and Zhao Cao.
Since Zhou Jiasheng had chosen Zhao Cao, and Zhao Cao had agreed, General Zhou wanted to quickly finalize their marriage. He felt that Zhao Qingshan was the right person to propose marriage.
Zhao Qingshan was Zhou Jiasheng's grandfather and was also familiar with Zhao Cao's family. With him mediating, Zhou Jiasheng and Zhao Cao's marriage shouldn't be a surprise. After all, judging by Zhou Jiasheng's expression, he truly loved Cao. Cao, on the other hand, didn't care that much for Zhou Jiasheng.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Cao came to the Zhao family, General Zhou chased them for a few steps and repeatedly told Zhou Yuanyuan not to forget this matter.
"General Zhou, do you need my help?" Zhao Qingshan was stunned when he heard Zhou Yuanyuan say this. In Zhao Qingshan's mind, General Zhou was an extremely powerful relative. He suddenly felt a little panicked when he could get General Zhou to say the word "help".
"Yes! Grandpa, let me tell you..." Zhou Yuanyuan blabbered on and on, telling the story of General Zhou inviting Zhao Qingshan to the Cao family to propose marriage.
"Hahaha...it turns out that the girl our Sheng likes is Cao! This guy really hides it so well." After listening to Zhou Yuanyuan's explanation, Zhao Qingshan's depression was swept away and he couldn't help laughing.
A few months ago, when the Zhao family moved, Zhao Yunxiang took the children back to her parents' home. Zhao Yunxiang often complained to Zhao Qingshan about her trip back to her parents' home. She wanted to arrange an engagement for Zhou Jiasheng and Zhu Juan, but Zhou Jiasheng strongly opposed it.
Zhao Qingshan knew what Zhao Yunxiang meant, and she wanted him to persuade Zhou Jiasheng.
Zhao Qingshan did so. In Zhao Qingshan's opinion, Zhao Yunxiang's plan was indeed for Zhou Jiasheng's benefit. If Zhou Jiasheng didn't dislike Zhu Juan, then the marriage between the Zhou and Zhu families would be a good choice.
Zhou Jiasheng told Zhao Qingshan that he had a crush on a girl. As for who it was, Zhou Jiasheng kept silent, and Zhao Qingshan couldn't get the answer no matter how hard he asked.
"Yes! My brother has liked Sister Cao for a long time." Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that Zhao Qingshan's smile did not seem fake.
To be honest, Zhou Yuanyuan was really worried that Zhao Qingshan would dislike Cao. After all, if Zhao Qingshan and Cao didn't get along, Zhou Jiasheng would be the one who suffered the most.
Cao's face turned red.
Before coming to the Zhao family to tell her grandmother, Zhao Cao had been troubled. She had thought that her marriage with Zhou Jiasheng might be cancelled because of Zhao Qingshan's anger.
At this moment, it seemed that Zhao Qingshan was really an open-minded old man. Zhao Qingshan's reaction made Zhao Cao feel relieved.
"Okay, wait for me to pack up and we'll leave later." Zhao Qingshan nodded and agreed.
Even if there was no proposal for Zhou Jiasheng, Zhao Qingshan was still prepared to go back to Zhaojiagou.
Gu Daya's reminder was correct. Zhao Qingshan's failure to visit Wu Baolian's grave for so many years was indeed his "heartlessness." Considering Gu Daya's deep affection for Wu Baolian, Zhao Qingshan felt that he shouldn't let her feel any regret.
Because of the trip to Zhaojiagou, Zhou Jiasheng stayed in the laboratory for two nights and was then dragged out by Zhou Yuanyuan and stuffed into a car heading to Zhaojiagou.
Even if Sister Mi refused to let go, she would not dare to stop Zhou Jiasheng's marriage.
This time, Zhou Yuanyuan secured five days of vacation for Zhou Jiasheng, allowing him to return to Zhaojiagou to meet the Cao family's elders. According to Yuyuan County custom, when proposing a marriage, a man presents his elders in person, demonstrating his sincerity.
Zhou Xi also came. He acted as a driver and bodyguard and "liberated" several of Zhou Jiasheng's bodyguards.
Proposing marriage! It's outrageous that Zhou Jiasheng is followed by a long line of bodyguards. If you don't know, you might think he is going to the girl's house to seek revenge!
Zhou Jiasheng was stuffed into the car by his violent girl in a daze. After seeing Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Cao in the car, he knew what was going to happen next, and the silly smile on his face never disappeared.
As Zhao Cao's best friend and future sister-in-law, Zhou Yuanyuan was also called by Zhao Qingshan.
Time goes back one step.
Zhaojiagou, 2 p.m.
After Zhao Youtian received a call from Zhao Qingshan, he locked the door of the brigade headquarters and ran to Aunt Gu's house to report the good news.
Zhao Youtian was very excited.
The old secretary’s daughter’s family is going to marry into Gu Da’s family!
The old secretary's son-in-law is General Zhou's grandson! They're so close. So, the girls from Zhaojiagou are going to marry into General Zhou's family. Wahahaha...this is really exciting!
Zhao Youtian felt very happy.
Zhao Cao was a girl from Zhaojiagou. What did it mean that she was favored by General Zhou's great-grandson? It meant that the girls from Zhaojiagou were excellent enough, and it also meant that Zhao Qingshan's family had not forgotten their roots and did not look down on them, the peasants!
Zhao Youtian walked very fast and soon arrived outside the yard of Aunt Gu's house.
"Uncle bamboo craftsman, is Uncle bamboo craftsman at home?" Zhao Youtian called out in a hoarse voice.
At this time, the midday heat had just passed, and most villagers, with nothing else to do, stayed home to escape the heat. Of course, that didn't stop some diligent young men from going to their fields. After all, since last year, the fields in Zhaojiagou had been divided among individuals, and everyone's enthusiasm for work was high!
Zheng Qiulian was a hard worker. After a half-hour break at noon, she rushed to the yard to tend to her own hidden treasures. Her family was so poor! With three sons ready to marry and a daughter who insisted on going to school, Zheng Qiulian was overwhelmed with worry. She wished she could split herself in two to keep busy.
Hearing Zhao Youtian's call, Zheng Qiulian quickly put down the hoe in her hand and opened the gate.
Although the rural areas have now implemented the household contract responsibility system, Zhao Youtian, the village chief, still has a very high status in the village.
