The Shen family was very surprised when they saw the gift money. This kind of gift money was unheard of in their Xiaohe Village.
"No, no, this betrothal gift is one of the best in our Xiaohe Village." After seeing the betrothal gift, Shen's father and mother no longer doubted the Gu family's importance to Qingmiao.
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were satisfied, Mother Xue breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth her coming out to inquire about it.
In order to show their importance to Shen Qingmiao, the Gu family added a little more on this basis.
Afterwards, the two families got along harmoniously, talking and laughing.
Xue's mother knew that Old Master Xue was here. Being so close to her father, she really wanted to go see him. Many years had passed since their last meeting.
After dinner, Shen Qingmiao took Xue's mother and the others for a walk around the village, supposedly to see Xiaohe Village. In reality, Shen Qingmiao took Xue's mother and the others to visit Old Master Xue.
Xue's mother wanted to tell Mr. Xue the news of Jingyuan's marriage in person.
When they met the villagers, they were very curious about the Gu family members who suddenly appeared and had extraordinary temperament.
"Qingmiao, is this your relative?" someone asked.
At this time, Shen Qingmiao would shyly answer: "These are my boyfriend's parents."
When they heard this answer, everyone smiled in understanding. They congratulated him, "Qingmiao, congratulations."
Along the way, Shen Qingmiao received countless words of congratulations.
After wandering around, they came to where Mr. Xue was. They were still busy and had not rested.
When she saw Old Man Xue bent over picking up cow dung, her mother's eyes instantly reddened and tears welled up in them. She didn't dare to go forward and could only stand there and watch from afar. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Old Master Xue seemed to have sensed something. He stood up straight and looked towards where Mother Xue and the others were standing.
When he saw Xue's mother, Mr. Xue froze in his tracks, seemingly unable to believe that Xue's mother actually appeared before him. After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart. Mr. Xue stood there looking at Xue's mother for a long time without moving.
He wanted to go forward and see his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but he didn't dare.
The father and daughter stood on each side, looking at each other, and for a moment, a sad mood filled the air.
The others standing nearby were also infected by this sentiment. Shen Qingmiao suggested, "How about we find a chance to talk?"
It's impossible here. Someone may come at any time, and it would be bad if we were seen.
Xue's mother was of course thinking, "Is there any way?"
"There is a way."
Shen Qingmiao walked over and told Old Master Xue about his idea. After listening, Old Master Xue hesitated and said, "Is this okay?"
"No problem, I'll go talk to the captain."
Seeing Shen Qingmiao was so sure that there was no problem, Mr. Xue, who really wanted to talk to Xue's mother, agreed to the suggestion and started pretending to be sick.
Shen Qingmiao ran to tell the captain that Mr. Xue seemed to have fainted. When the captain went over to check, Mr. Xue had woken up in time.
Now, Shen Qingmiao suggested that Mr. Xue rest in the cowshed for a while, and the team leader thought about it and agreed.
After the captain left, Xue's mother and Mr. Xue finally had a chance to talk.
This was a rare opportunity, and they didn't dare waste even a minute. Everyone consciously gave up their seats to Xue's mother and grandfather, and sat aside.
The father and daughter expressed their care and longing for each other over the years. Grandpa Xue was full of joy and blessings for Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan's marriage.
When leaving, both Xue's mother and Mr. Xue were reluctant to leave.
The Gu family did not stay at the Shen family's house, but lived in the courtyard bought by Shen Qingmiao. Originally, Gu Jingyuan planned to ask Zhang Zhen to help him buy a house in the county town, but when he discussed it with Shen Qingmiao, she rejected it.
Why buy a yard? She already has one.
After Shen Qingmiao's explanation, Gu Jingyuan finally agreed to Shen Qingmiao's proposal.
