"What did I lie to you about?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.
He pointed to his chest.
You've coaxed me into being your slave for life, and I'm still happy to do it.
He felt like he had lost out big time, but at the same time, he felt like he had gained a lot. In short, the feeling was... quite complicated.
"Your heart? It's right here, isn't it?" She placed her hand on his chest, feeling his strong, steady heartbeat. "It's beating just as well!"
"If it doesn't jump, then something terrible will happen!" Gu Yanbai placed his palm on the back of her hand.
"That's right. You really have to work hard and don't slack off." She said, pressing her hand against his chest.
"Don't worry, I reckon it'll keep jumping for decades before it goes on strike."
"Is this something that can be estimated?"
"Then what should we do? Make it stop jumping now?" Gu Yanbai looked straight at her, a sly smile playing on his lips.
"Gu Yanbai, some things can't be said carelessly. It has to keep jumping." Su Nianxue's face was somewhat serious.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll keep jumping."
Gu Yanliu ran away for a while, but soon returned.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that her brother was going to beat her up.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I have something to tell you, my eldest brother and Sister Taozi are getting married soon."
"You went to Grandpa's?" She subtly withdrew her hand.
"Yes, I know this marriage has been arranged."
If I go now, it probably won't be considered meddling, and Grandpa probably won't beat me!
Su Nianxue shook her head. She wondered where she got this gossipy nature from.
However… she immediately asked excitedly, “When are you getting married? Have you found out?”
Gu Yanbai…………
So, who was she referring to with that look of disgust on her face just now?
It's obvious that these two are always up to no good when they're together.
He couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Are you two really that serious?"
My eldest brother's wedding is a big event for our family.
Grandpa will naturally let us know. Why would you bother asking around? Are you stupid?
Su Nianxue immediately perked up, "You don't understand, when will Grandpa notify us?"
"Why don't we satisfy our curiosity first? What's wrong with that?"
“Yeah, bro, you’re a grown man, you don’t understand girls’ feelings, so don’t get involved, and you can’t get involved anyway,” Gu Yanliu said with a hint of disdain.
The two of them took a moment to give him a piece of their mind, then huddled together with gossipy expressions, laughing and whispering to each other.
"Alright, alright, you two can keep playing with your crickets, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Su Nianxue looked up and asked.
"Of course we'll go to Grandpa's."
"Brother, you said you weren't gossipy, but you're rushing off to do it yourself!" Gu Yanliu pouted.
He's good at lecturing her, but he ends up doing the same thing himself.
"How can I be the same as you? I'm going to ask my older brother if he needs any help."
Getting married is a big deal, and there are many things to prepare.
Renovating the roof, painting the house, preparing furniture—everything is a task.
"Forget it, I can't reason with you little girls. You think everyone's like you, always just jumping on the bandwagon." Gu Yanbai spoke with great conviction, almost counting on his fingers.
Back when he got married, he handled all of these things himself.
He was busy with this and that, and those days really wore him out. He would often fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow at night.
However, although I was a bit tired, I felt... very happy.
The old man wanted to help, but seeing that he was too old, he didn't want him to worry about it.
So he sent him up the mountain, and he took on all the work himself.
So now he has a very deep impression of these things, and he can talk about them in great detail.
"Alright, alright, go take a look!"
The news spread quickly throughout the village, and now everyone was saying all sorts of things.
"I never thought that after all these years, these two would still end up together. What kind of story is this?"
"If you ask me, wouldn't it have been better to just marry Taozi off to Gu Yansong directly? Why go through all this trouble?"
"You make it sound so easy. If Taozi is married off, what about Gangzi? Do you think Gangzi's mother would agree to it?"
"Actually, Gangzi's mother had a hard life too, losing her husband at a young age."
Over the years, she raised her two children alone without remarrying, which is truly remarkable.
A discordant voice rang out, "But Peach's health is failing. How long do you think this marriage can last?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Damn, how are they supposed to say that?
Isn't that cursing someone?
But everyone had to admit that what the old woman said seemed to make some sense, and they were actually quite eager to see what would happen.
Amidst the uproar, Gu Yansong and Taozi's wedding date was set.
The old man took out five hundred yuan from the house and handed it to Gu Yansong, saying it was for his betrothal gifts.
"Grandpa, I don't want it, I have my own money." Gu Yansong refused repeatedly. He was already a man in his thirties, how could he spend the old man's money!
“Take it. You siblings are all the same. When Yanbai got married, I also gave him five hundred.”
Now it's your turn, and it's the same for you.
And Yanliu, I've prepared hers too!
The old man has worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk for so many years, so he spoke with great confidence.
