Sure enough, the mention of television immediately drew Gu Yanliu's attention away. "My brother can really get his hands on a television?"
Although she had never seen such a thing before, she had heard people talking about it a lot at the market these days.
She naturally longed for it too.
Su Nianxue nodded, thinking that her brother not only had the ability to get televisions, but also wanted to open an electronics store.
However, considering her childlike nature, if she doesn't keep her mouth shut and the news gets out, it will definitely be quite eye-catching.
I refrained from telling her.
Gu Yanliu received an affirmative answer and immediately forgot about making tofu. "Great! We'll have a TV to watch from now on!"
After the two finished their meal, they went to the old house.
They hadn't been there for a while and were thinking of going to help tidy up.
Just as I reached the door, I heard the old man's strong, resonant voice.
"Gu Yansong, what exactly do you mean?"
You need to make things clear to me today.
You say you need time? Fine, I'll give you that!
If it's agreed to be one month, then it's one month.
In the past month, have I not asked you a single question?
But you, after a month, you changed your mind. Tell me, are you even a man?
Gu Yansong sat at the table with his head drooping, saying nothing, letting the old man scold him.
The more Old Master Gu looked at him, the angrier he became, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table twice.
"Gu Yansong, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
At my age, I'm going around saying nice things and smiling obsequiously at people. Who am I doing all this for?
Do you still resent me?
"You want to get revenge on me? You want me to die with my eyes open?"
Seeing how harsh his words were, Gu Yansong quickly raised his head, "Sir, I didn't. I just..."
Seeing his hesitant expression, the old man was so angry that he didn't even want to smoke anymore.
He picked up his pipe and slammed it heavily on the table twice. "What do you have to say? Speak up."
When we men speak, our word is as good as nails.
Unlike you, who dawdles like a woman.
It's just the two of us in this house, what's there to hide from me?"
Gu Yansong slowly raised his head, secretly clenched his fist, and steeled his resolve.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'll tell you the truth today."
I don't go on blind dates, and I don't want to marry anyone else.
If you really want me to get married, then... I want to marry Peach.
"You want to marry Peach?"
The old man was very conflicted. He knew that the two had grown up together since childhood and had a good relationship.
But so many years have passed, and some things have long since changed.
Putting aside their feelings for each other, if he were to actually marry Taozi, he might not even be able to have a child.
What do men work hard for their whole lives?
Isn't all he wants a wife, kids, and a warm bed?
But if a family doesn't even have a child, can it still be called a family?
"Gu Yansong, I disagree."
Forget about it!
I've already spoken with your third aunt, and the women's comrade is coming to our door today.
You have to go today, whether you like it or not.
The light in Gu Yansong's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head again.
"I told you I'm not going, so why don't you call off this marriage?"
"Hey, you little brat, you think you're all grown up now, huh?"
Do you know how many kind words I had to say to your third aunt before she agreed to help?
If you won't even see me, where am I supposed to put my old face?
The old man slapped his face repeatedly, his expression resolute: if he didn't go, this matter wouldn't be over.
"Sir, I won't go! I don't want anyone but Peach."
Gu Yansong's voice was somewhat low, but it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
The old man was stunned. Since returning home, he had been taciturn and almost invisible.
This was the first time he had ever been so firm in expressing what he wanted!
The old man sighed, his heart and eyes filled with guilt.
"Yansong, it's all my fault for being incompetent."
I couldn't save up enough money back then, which is why you two missed out.
I know you've never been able to let her go all these years.
I was young once too, and I've experienced love between men and women, so I understand how you feel right now.
But life isn't that simple!
At first, everyone thought that love could keep them warm even in the coldest of times. But as time goes on, even the warmest heart will grow cold, and even the deepest affection will fade away.
By then, they will have both a son and a daughter, and their lives will be fulfilling.
But what about you!
There were only two people in the house, it was cold and quiet without any warmth, and slowly they lost all hope.
What if you regret it then?
Gu Yansong slowly shook his head. "Sir, I don't know if I'll regret it when I'm old."
But I know that if I give up on Peach this time, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
He didn't have a chance before, but now everything is back to square one, and he doesn't want to give up.
The old man sized up his honest and simple-minded grandson.
"Yansong, I'm getting old!"
My only wish is to see you siblings living happily together before I die.
Of the four of you siblings, you are the one I feel most sorry for.
If you're not doing well, I won't have the face to face your father when I die!
Gu Yansong shook his head. "Sir, you have nothing to apologize for."
You raised the four of us single-handedly; we owe you that.
Grandpa, I'm thirty-two years old, and I know what I'm doing.
Even if I regret it someday, I won't blame you.
