“But Grandpa has a problem with your Sister Peach.” He actually understood his grandfather’s good intentions.
He wanted to live a life like the other men in the village, with a wife, children, and a warm bed.
He understood his good intentions, but he didn't want to follow his ideas.
This time, he wanted to choose according to his own wishes.
"Don't you know that I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart?"
I bet Grandpa has already prepared the bride price for you, so go ahead and do it!
Years ago, my family was poor and we simply couldn't afford to help my older brother get married.
This matter has always been a knot in the old man's heart, the kind that can never be untied.
Later, the policy changed, and Grandpa took out all the family's savings and bought a flock of sheep.
From then on, regardless of wind or rain, scorching heat or freezing cold, he went to the mountain to herd sheep every single day.
Despite being exhausted and having a sore back, he was cheerful every day.
Back then, he often said, "I need to save up some money for your wedding."
So that you won't have to waste your whole life like your older brother did, because of a few dollars in dowry.
His grandfather looked like this when he got married.
Although the marriage was rushed, the old man still calmly took out his share of the bride price.
It's clear that they had prepared this long ago.
"Then... I'll give it a try?" With his family's support, Gu Yansong could hardly hide his smile.
"Alright, bro, you go ahead with your work. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." He smiled and waved goodbye.
"Okay." After chatting with the two brothers for a while, he felt much more relaxed.
When Gu Yanbai returned home, Su Nianxue was lying on a recliner, leisurely swaying back and forth!
"You're back?" Seeing him return, she merely tilted her head slightly before continuing to sway.
Gu Yanbai was pleased with her obedient behavior. "Why are you the only one here? Where's Yanliu?"
"Oh, she's making sauerkraut in the kitchen."
I wanted to help her, but she absolutely wouldn't let me, so I just sat here and waited for you.
Her tone was somewhat disappointed. Every day she was forbidden from doing this or that; they really treated her like she was made of paper.
"Isn't this a coincidence? I was just about to tell her about this." He appreciated the girl's keen observation.
"You can just keep ordering Yanliu around as much as you want!"
Gu Yanbai shrugged, "It's none of my business. This was an order given by Grandpa himself."
He said you didn't have a good appetite, so he asked her to make some pickled cabbage for you to eat, hoping it would whet your appetite.
"You even told Grandpa this?" Su Nianxue was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Grandpa asked first, and I just told him the truth."
We were all raised by our grandfather, so he knows a lot.
I told him, and what, can't I say these things?
Grandpa was the only elder in the family and also their relative.
People say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
Grandpa is the pillar of their Gu family, and he wants to learn from his experience!
"That's not what I meant. Oh well, I've already said it!" She just felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to tell you."
"What is it?" Gu Yanbai rested his hands on the armrests of the rocking chair, looking down at her at close range.
"You all forbid me from doing this and that every day, what am I supposed to do with my tofu?"
"I'm here, what's the rush?" Gu Yanbai said dismissively.
"But you're so busy, you're nowhere to be seen every few days, how can I count on you?" She rolled her eyes at him, looking like a missing person.
There's always something going on here or there.
He's rarely home during the day, but he comes home every night.
I don't know why I'm so busy?
"Judging from what you're saying, you have a lot of complaints about me!"
"Then I won't go out anymore, I'll stay home with you all every day, okay?" His eyes were gentle, and his clear voice revealed his joyful mood at the moment.
"No, you should go back to your important work."
Su Nianxue quickly waved her hand. If she stayed home every day, wouldn't they keep a close watch on her? What could she possibly do then?
"Heh, now you know I'm up to something big?"
"Why are you so fickle? Didn't you used to call me a hooligan?"
He pinched her smooth cheek, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"You know that was in the past."
Besides, this happened so long ago, why are you bringing up old grievances?
How can a grown man be so narrow-minded, like the eye of a pinhole?
She had to make the first move, otherwise, if this person became petty, it would be difficult to handle.
"Anyway, once something comes out of your mouth, it will make even the wrong thing seem right." He pinched her chin, then slowly straightened up.
“I was right from the start,” Su Nianxue said slowly.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm going to grind tofu." He went into his room to change into a jacket and then came out.
"Let's go together, I don't have anything else to do anyway."
"Alright!" Seeing that she was really bored, Gu Yanbai had no choice but to give in.
If we don't let her do something, she might cause some trouble again.
Gu Yanliu quickly tidied up the mess in the kitchen.
She naturally took over the rest of the work and joined them in the effort.
The next day, Su Nianxue and Gu Yanliu were leisurely strolling home!
Suddenly, two familiar figures darted out from a small alley.
"Su Nianxue, wait a minute, we have something to tell you." As soon as Su Jiaojiao saw them, she hurriedly called out towards the donkey cart.
"But I have nothing to say to you." Su Nianxue showed no intention of stopping the car.
To everyone's surprise, Su Jiaojiao ran to the car in a few steps, spread her arms, and blocked the car in front of it.
Gu Yanliu quickly grabbed the reins and yelled, "Are you out of your mind?"
If you get hurt accidentally, is it your responsibility or ours?
"Su Jiaojiao, are you trying to scam us?"
"Pah! How much money could your family possibly have that I would bother trying to extort from you?"
Didn't I tell you? My mom has something to say to you. So why are you running away?
"Is this some kind of ghost in broad daylight?" Su Jiaojiao has been getting quite energetic lately.
"Aren't we seeing ghosts right now?" Su Nianxue laughed, "Someone's cursing themselves."
"Su Nianxue, you..." Su Jiaojiao quickly realized what she had said.
Wang Lanhua followed closely behind and arrived at the donkey cart.
The mother and daughter originally came from the Wang family together, and Su Jiaojiao was very careful along the way.
But when she saw Su Nianxue about to leave, she became a little impatient.
In his haste, he rushed up and stopped the donkey cart.
God knows, she was so scared her heart skipped a beat.
"Why are you still so reckless, child?"
"What if she accidentally bumps or falls?" She quickly pulled Su Jiaojiao up and looked her over.
