Wu Guixiang was the head of the family after all. She thought for a moment and said, "Congjun, since your master already knows about your relationship with that girl and has been kind to you, we in the Su family should also show some appreciation, lest we be accused of being rude."
Su Congjun nodded, "I know, grandma. I came back this time to discuss this matter with you."
"Well, we can't treat her badly." Wu Guixiang said to Li Xiulian, "My eldest daughter-in-law, please prepare some gifts for the soldiers to bring back."
"Okay, mother." Li Xiulian nodded, then hesitated. "Well, mother, I'd like to go to the city with Congjun to see that girl. If it's possible, and both families like her, we can settle Congjun's marriage soon. He's not young anymore."
Su Congjun's eyes widened. "Mom, aren't you being a little too anxious?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Xiulian glared at him. "Don't you know how old you are? You're still young! It's rare for a girl to like you, so why not seize the opportunity?"
"Let me think about it." Wu Guixiang pondered it carefully. "After all, the family hasn't made a clear statement on this matter yet. It's not appropriate for you, as a mother, to go. So, let Yunyun go."
"Me?" Su Qingyun was listening happily, but she was suddenly mentioned. She looked surprised.
"Yes, you and your eldest brother should go to the county town." The more Wu Guixiang thought about it, the more she felt that it was the right idea. "You are the youngest in the family, so there is nothing wrong with you going to the city to see your eldest brother. Then you can take a look at the girl and come back to tell us about it."
Su Congjun nodded when he heard this, "Yunyun can go, she and Sisi will definitely get along well." This was sudden, and no one was mentally prepared. If his mother went to the city, Sisi might be scared.
Qin Ying squeezed her daughter's hand and said, "Go ahead. Just think of it as checking on your elder brother."
Su Qingyun had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay then." She never thought that there would be a day when she would help others find a partner.
What Wu Guixiang didn't say was that there was another reason why she asked Su Qingyun to follow Su Congjun, which was that there was indeed a big gap between their Su family and that girl's family. Yunyun was the most outstanding person in their family after all, and if she told others about it, others would look up to her.
For her son's important event, Li Xiu Lian racked her brains and prepared some gifts for Su Congjun to take back, including some mountain products that she had picked from the mountains but was reluctant to eat, a small jar of wild honey, a bottle of wine for Su Congjun's master, and some money for Su Qingyun, asking her to buy some things her daughter would like for the girl after she arrived in the county town.
Wu Guixiang also advised that one must be careful and observant and be generous and friendly. Of course, these words were not said by her grandmother, but were Su Qingyun's own conclusion.
She was entrusted with an important task by the whole family, and under great pressure, she followed Su Congjun on the road to the county town.
The brother and sister took a car to the county town. Su Qingyun was still thinking about the task given by his aunt, "Brother, let's go to the department store first to see what to buy for Sister Sisi."
"Okay." Su Congjun nodded, and the two walked towards the department store.
There were far fewer people in the department store today than the last time, and Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. The department store had three floors, and the first floor was filled with daily necessities. The brother and sister went straight to the second floor, where ready-made clothes and cloth were sold, as well as the colorful hairpins and hairbands that young girls liked.
No matter what era, girls all love beauty, and these little things are very popular. A group of young girls surrounded the merchandise booth, choosing at will, and the chattering sound never stopped.
Su Congjun stopped when he saw it, "Yunyun, you go and pick it."
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun asked curiously, "I don't know what Sister Sisi likes."
Seeing the group of young girls, Su Qingyun instantly understood that her elder brother didn't want to squeeze with the girls, "Then elder brother, wait for me here."
"Okay." Su Congjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Qingyun was ready to go. She was slim and agile, and she quickly squeezed to the front. She calmed her breath. For her elder brother, she really tried her best.
Her eyes wandered around the booth and she was a little disappointed after one look. To be honest, the goods here were far inferior to those she and her father brought back from the provincial capital.
But there is no way, this is the level of the county town. The people in the county town cannot afford more exquisite and luxurious things.
Su Qingyun tried hard to choose for a long time before finally finding a nice necklace in the corner. It was a thin silver chain with a butterfly with its wings flapping, ready to fly, hanging under the shimmering chain. It was well-made and beautiful without being ostentatious.
She stretched out her hand and was about to take the thing, but a slender hand came across and intercepted it.
Su Qingyun stared over and was shocked, "Ji Yue! Why are you here?"
"I was just about to ask you." Ji Yue also widened his eyes. How come he met her here?
The two looked at each other and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. Su Qingyun looked at Ji Yue's messy hair and couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at you for coming to squeeze into these places selling accessories like a little girl." Su Qingyun was overjoyed. Even her elder brother didn't want to squeeze into the place, but Ji Yue was quicker than anyone else. His aloof personality instantly collapsed in Su Qingyun's heart.
"What? A gift for your girlfriend?" Su Qingyun pointed to the necklace in his hand.
Ji Yue pursed his lips and said, "I bought this for my mother. Her birthday is coming soon."
"Your mother?" Su Qingyun tilted her head. "Then this is not suitable, right?" Ji Yue's dress style is not bad, and his mother must be an elegant and intellectual woman. This kind of girlish necklace is obviously not suitable for her.
