Chapter 375: Reciprocity
"Then you can ask Xiaoquan to talk to my parents and grandfather after the New Year. If he doesn't speak up, I can't speak up first, right? Although I don't care, everyone always calls me reserved. In fact, when it comes to marriage, it doesn't matter who speaks up."
Gu Ruoke doesn't care about those empty etiquettes.
Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, no matter who speaks up.
Tang Shuang smiled and said, "Okay, then around the tenth day, I'll bring Sun Quan to your house to propose marriage to you!"
Gu Ruo nodded quickly. The three of them were looking forward to the wedding and had even started planning the hotel and dishes.
Sun Quan coughed twice shyly.
Gu Ruo turned around and shouted, "Ah! Why are you here? Did you eavesdrop on me?"
"Who is eavesdropping?"
Sun Quan stepped forward and took over the work from An Lian.
"You've been tired for several days, so go to bed early. Xiaowen doesn't plan to go out tomorrow, so you two can sleep in at home."
"Then I won't be polite. You guys should go to bed early after you're done. See you tomorrow."
Sun Yat-sen never liked visiting relatives, so he seldom went out from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Now that I'm well, I still don't like going out.
An Lian would be wherever he was, so she was happy to have some free time.
However, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, people have to burn incense to the God of Wealth. Although the Sun family does not believe in this, rarely goes to temples, and is not a business person, they are very persistent about this matter.
An Lian has been lazy these past two days, and will only get busy when people start coming to visit on the fourth day of the New Year.
Tang Shuang also left here tactfully.
Sun Quan stood beside Gu Ruo and wiped the dishes. Gu Ruo joked, "Although you are a man, you are quite nimble, which is great!"
"After living alone for so long, I can still do basic housework."
Sun Quan wiped the last bowl dry and put it in the cupboard.
He approached Gu Ruo, gently took her hand, and brought her into his arms.
"The betrothal gifts are all ready. Grandma said she had prepared them for me a long time ago. She added a few more this year. I think it should be enough. But I will definitely show you the list in advance. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again."
"Has it really been prepared a long time ago? Is it prepared for me or for other women?"
"There are no other women, only you! I also saved some money and bought you a small gift. Do you want to see it now?"
"Look! You bought me a gift but didn't give it to me. Are you trying to make me anxious? Hurry up and give it to me!"
Sun Quan immediately ran back to his room, took out a beautiful little box from the drawer and ran down.
Gu Ruo had taken off her apron and was waiting for him at the stairs.
"Look at this, is it nice?"
Gu Ruo was not a shy person, so when he received a gift he would open it openly.
"Wow! They are a pair of earrings. I thought they were rings!"
Sun Quan gave a pair of pearl earrings. Although they were not particularly big, they had a very good luster and color, and they were carefully selected.
Sun Quan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I wanted to buy you a ring, but I have to spend the rest of my money on other things, so I can only buy this first. If you don't like it..."
"Sun Quan, are you stupid? When did I say I didn't like it? Why are you still standing there? Put it on for me!"
Gu Ruo lifted her slightly curly long hair and adjusted her turtleneck sweater, trying her best to let Sun Quan see her beautiful neck.
Sun Quan smiled foolishly and helped her take off the gold earrings and replaced them with pearl earrings.
Gu Ruo imitated Han Jiaojiao's method and tied her long hair into a bun.
She shook her head and said, "Does it look good?"
"nice!"
"You've given me a gift, but I didn't prepare anything for you, little Quanzi, you won't be angry, right?"
Sun Quan shook his head.
He is not a child, why would he be angry if he didn't have a gift?
Besides, this was a last-minute gift and it wasn't something we had agreed on long ago, so it's normal that there was no return gift.
Gu Ruo flicked his forehead lightly: "Idiot! Bend down and come closer."
Sun Quan moved forward.
"It's not enough. Come a little closer, a little more."
"Don't pull my collar, I'll just squat down, is that enough?"
"That's enough."
Gu Ruo pressed her hand against his forehead, and Sun Quan's body instantly felt hot as if it were on fire. Gu Ruo's cheeks were pink, and she smiled sweetly, "It's customary to return gifts. I did return the gift, so don't accuse me of being impolite in the future!"
Sun Quan touched his forehead, not knowing what to say.
His brain had stopped thinking.
"Ruoruo, let's get ready to go home!"
Du Ling pushed the door open, and Gu Ruo immediately pushed Sun Quan away and ran back to the door happily.
Du Ling was an experienced person and could guess about 70% of what the two of them were doing just by smelling the smell.
She said with a smile: "Xiao Quan, remember to come to my house as a guest. I will make time to wait for you!"
"Hey, I'll call ahead. I'll drive you. It's cold and dark outside. It's not safe for you to be on the road."
Sun Quan wanted to stay with Gu Ruo for a while longer, so he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of driver.
It just so happens that we are all going back to Grandpa Gu Chen’s house tonight. If we all squeeze together, one car can take us back.
After Cai Xun lit the last pack of fireworks for the children, he was ready to leave.
He picked up the girl and said with a smile: "Little girl, will you miss me when we meet again in a few days?"
"Yes! Brother Xun said he would buy me a rabbit lamp. I remember!"
"Oh my, the bunny lamp is better than me? Brother Xun is so sad!"
"No, no, it's all good. Only with Brother Xun can we have the rabbit lantern!"
Xiao Niuniu has an ear problem, which causes her movements when she speaks to be different from those of ordinary people.
But Cai Xun thought it was cute and looked like a little rabbit.
Little girl hugged his face and kissed him.
Cai Xun was so happy: "Just wait, this year Brother Xun will make you a big rabbit lantern, the biggest one!"
"Brother Xun is the best!"
Xiao Niuniu kissed Cai Xun again generously.
Cai Xun put the girl down and took his family into the car to go home.
Wang Rui stared at him enviously.
Cai Xun glanced at her and said, "Why? You want a rabbit lamp, too? That one doesn't suit you. Let me buy you a tiger one, or a monkey one. After all, you look like both a tiger and a monkey, and you have nothing to do with the cuteness of a rabbit."
"Really? You want to give me a lantern?"
Wang Rui had never bought a lantern before; at most she would make one herself out of paper.
But it is very ugly and not durable. It will be blown by the windbreaker and either burn out or break.
She really wanted to play with lanterns like everyone else.
Cai Xun licked his lips and said, "Why are you so excited? Aren't you angry when I bought you a monkey and a tiger?"
"Why are you angry? You bought it for me anyway, so you can't go back on your word."
"Okay, I won't regret it. I'll buy you the biggest tiger lantern that's suitable for you!"
