When Jiang Xiaoqiao calmed down, Gu Xiangbei also brought out the hot food.
He used his untouched chopsticks to pick up a meat bun for Jiang Xiaoqiao and said, "It's hot, let's eat."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at him quietly for a while, then lowered her head after a moment.
"good."
Jiang Xiaoqiao turned her grief and anger into appetite, and she kept asking Gu Xiangbei to eat too and not leave any leftovers.
One was in a bad mood and overate, and the other had a big appetite.
The two of them finished all the food on the table without leaving any behind.
After eating, Gu Xiangbei stood up and wiped the table and washed the dishes.
Jiang Xiaoqiao followed him into the kitchen, "Comrade Xiaoqiao, I'll wash the dishes." Gu Xiangbei said.
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at the newly renovated kitchen. When she came back last time, it was already dusty, but now it was spotless, as if she had returned to the days when her grandparents were still alive.
After washing the dishes, Gu Xiangbei rubbed his hands and wanted to say goodbye to Jiang Xiaoqiao.
But when he touched Jiang Xiaoqiao's red and swollen eyes, he paused again.
"Comrade Jiang Xiaoqiao..."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Gu Xiangbei, I told you, just call me by my name."
"Okay, Xiao Qiao and... Xiao Qiao."
Gu Xiangbei said: "Xiao Qiao."
"Um, what's up?"
"Xiao Qiao, are you serious about what you just said? If it was just a rant, or if you're starting to regret it, you can tell me..."
"It's not a rant."
"If we must get married, I'll choose you." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Why, do you regret it?"
"No, I'm serious. I won't go back on my word if I say I'll marry you." Gu Xiangbei said, "Xiao Qiao, but your father does have a point. I'm just a farmer now, and I have three children."
"If you had listened to your father's arrangements and married in the city, you could have stayed there and had a job later..."
In fact, Gu Xiangbei can introduce a marriage partner to Jiang Xiaoqiao. Every comrade and friend he met in Beijing is a person of upright character and has a decent job.
Gu Xiangbei believed that Jiang Xiaoqiao was such a good lesbian, unless they were blind, they would all be attracted to her.
However, Gu Xiangbei selfishly did not mention it.
"I have no regrets."
Jiang Xiaoqiao really has no regrets. If she had met Gu Xiangbei during the blind date in the brigade at the beginning, Jiang Xiaoqiao would have considered that she had a good impression of this man and would consider giving it a try, and seek protection at the same time to improve her living conditions in the countryside, so that she would no longer be verbally bullied by a few second-rate guys in the village. She was also afraid of implicating several people in the educated youth site.
But when they met again in Beijing, Jiang Xiaoqiao was completely disheartened by Jiang Hongjun's attitude and style of doing things, and she no longer had the ridiculous illusion about this blood-related father.
And when he met Hou Gu Xiangbei again, his heartbeat did not decrease but increased. He twice blocked the furious Jiang Hongjun for her. The hot meals, the clean table and the kitchen...
Also, he repeatedly asked her if she would consider it, and repeatedly told her about the terrible situation she would face if she married him.
Because of these, Jiang Xiaoqiao thought: She should be brave for once.
After all, nothing could get any worse.
Jiang Xiaoqiao also needs Gu Xiangbei. She knows that if Gu Xiangbei had not appeared, Jiang Hongjun would definitely have decided to arrange her marriage and let her marry in the family compound.
After living in that yard for so many years, Jiang Xiaoqiao was already tired of it and didn't want to stay there anymore.
If Jiang Xiaoqiao really liked someone and wanted to get married, she would have married herself off long before going to the countryside.
But she didn't.
It was just because this person happened to be Gu Xiangbei, the timing was right, and the person was right, so Jiang Xiaoqiao decided to get married.
In addition, she is already twenty years old this year. If she doesn't get married, whether she stays in the city or in the countryside, coupled with her bad reputation, Jiang Xiaoqiao's life will be very difficult.
Jiang Xiaoqiao is neither a non-marriageist nor a man-hater.
Since the timing is right and there happens to be someone she likes so much and is attracted to, why shouldn't she seize the opportunity?
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Xiangbei seriously and said, "Comrade Gu Xiangbei, my attitude has always been serious."
"I don't mind you having three children. I've been with Shitou, and I think he's a lively and cute kid."
"As for the eldest and third brother, I also heard some of them from Shitou and Pingyang Pingguang during the days they were trapped in the mountains."
"I think we should be able to get along well. Even if we don't get along, I will never deliberately make things difficult for three little kids."
"Also, Aunt Jinhua and I get along very well. Maybe you didn't know this, but Aunt Jinhua and I are great chatting partners while working in the fields!"
"As for Uncle Wei Min, I've dealt with him quite a few times, and I have a very good impression of him."
"As for the rest of your family, I think with Aunt Jinhua and Uncle Weimin, two such good parents, your family must be very harmonious and friendly."
"Besides, didn't Aunt Jinhua and you both say that when we get married, we'll separate and just take care of our own little family?"
In this way, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t get along with your brother and sister-in-law. You can just live your own life behind closed doors.
However, Jiang Xiaoqiao had come into contact with the Gu Lao Da couple and they thought they were pretty good.
"After we get married, I don't want to work in the fields. We'll each do half of the housework, and you have to hand over all the money you earn to me. Can you meet these three requirements?"
Gu Xiangbei said: "Yes, I can. You don't have to work in the fields. The work points I earn can support the family, and there is also the previous retirement pay. Everything about our family will be left to you to arrange."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Okay, don't worry. When I marry you, I will definitely treat the three children as my own and won't abuse them."
"You've mentioned your shortcomings, so let me tell you about mine."
"You've seen what happened today. My dad is a typical stepmother and stepfather. My stepmother and stepsister don't get along with me."
"When we're together in the future, you don't have to worry about the relationships in Beijing. In other words, you can't rely on the help of your wife's family."
"do you mind?"
Gu Xiangbei said without hesitation: "I don't mind. Don't be sad about these things in the future. I will treat you well."
The last sentence was Gu Xiangbei's resounding assurance.
He, Gu Xiangbei! Will treat Jiang Xiaoqiao well!
From now on, Gu Xiangbei never wanted to see Jiang Xiaoqiao looking so aggrieved and broken again.
He didn't want to see her tears, and his heart ached.
"Okay, let's get married?"
"Well, let's get married!"
After making the decision, Gu Xiangbei, like a hardworking snail, asked Jiang Xiaoqiao to sit down while he cleaned the house inside and out.
