Ye Qingtao's attitude was firm. Zhu Guihua rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

Gu Jingming said it was neither good nor bad, but he couldn't find any fault with it either.

He has a handsome face and a tall stature, and he looks very good.

He had been in the army for many years and became a senior officer through his own efforts. His monthly salary was not small, and he also promised to let his daughter manage his salary after marriage.

His father runs his own company. Although he is busy, he still makes a lot of money every year.

When my daughter marries into their family, she doesn't ask for wealth or status, but at least she won't have the pressure of supporting herself in her old age.

If he's healthy...

But if that were the case, my daughter would probably be in trouble.

Some time ago, the news that a daughter committed suicide in order to force her father to go to Lu Yunchuan's house to ask for marriage caused a sensation in the family compound.

Now they are pointed at every time they go out. She doesn't care at her age, but her young daughter definitely can't stand it.

If she really married Gu Jingming, it would be nice to be able to stay away from this place of trouble.

It's just that the sacrifices are too much, and I don't know if it's a wise move.

The more Zhu Guihua thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. If he had known earlier, he would not have come to the wedding banquet.

I sacrificed my precious daughter by chatting with others over a meal. No matter how I think about it, it’s not worth it.

"Go, go, go, go, mom will take you home!"

Zhu Guihua took Ye Qingtao's hand and was about to walk outside, and Gu Jingming hurriedly followed.

"Mom, are you guys going back now? Can I take you back?"

Gu Jingming used a question mark, but his attitude was firm.

He quietly rubbed his still aching buttocks. He just wanted to know whether Ye Qingtao had given him an injection this morning.

Gu Jingming kept calling him "Mom". Zhu Guihua's heart trembled and she didn't even have the strength to refuse.

"You still don't want it?"

Ye Qingtao didn't want to trouble others, so she refused.

"Yes, yes. You are already my wife, so I have to know where you live so I can get to know you."

Gu Jingming walked in front first. There was a wedding car parked in front of the hotel, decorated with bright red silk and flowers.

Gu Jingming walked forward and tore off all the annoying things. It really made him feel much more comfortable.

Gu Jingming opened the car door and invited them in like a gentleman.

Zhu Guihua had only taken the bus a few times, let alone a car, and was so surprised that he could hardly speak clearly.

"This, is this your car?"

Gu Jingming smiled and nodded: "I borrowed it from a friend. How could I afford it?"

"So that's how it is." Zhu Guihua nodded in sudden enlightenment. This was the only explanation that made sense.

Cars are not cheap nowadays, and those who can afford them are either rich or noble.

Gu Jingming's family is well-off, but it is not easy for him to buy a car.

The mother and daughter got on the car. Ye Qingtao was used to riding in cars and had long been accustomed to it. Only Zhu Guihua felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

She plopped down on the seat and bounced on it.

"Oh my! This cushion is so soft and elastic. It's so comfortable to sit on it."

After Zhu Guihua sat down, he looked around and saw two small wooden sculptures hanging on the car.

Although the wood carving is not big, it is carved very lifelike.

The wood carving is strung with a red rope and hung behind the seat, looking quaint and cute.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Qingtao's eyes, but she didn't show it.

Zhu Guihua wanted to act serious, but her personality was lively and cheerful, and she remained so even after becoming a mother.

She was soon attracted by the small wood carvings and couldn't help but play with them in her hands.

Ye Qingtao frowned slightly but said nothing.

Gu Jingming saw everything clearly through the rearview mirror, with a faint smile on his lips.

Gu Jingming's driving skills were very skillful, and the mother and daughter hardly felt the bumps while sitting in the car.

Shencheng is very close to the town where they live. It used to take just over an hour by bus, but now it only takes more than 30 minutes by car.

While playing with the wood carving, Zhu Guihua would look up to check the road conditions, and would actively help point the way when encountering a fork in the road.

The car soon arrived at Yangshu Town, which got its name because the town was full of poplar trees in the early years.

"Mom, where are we going next?"

The road was much narrower when they arrived in the town. Gu Jingming didn't know where they lived, so he naturally didn't know which way to drive.

"Do you know the Yangtian Machinery Factory? We live in the old family compound next to the machinery factory."

"Oh! It's Yangtian Machinery Factory. I know where it is."

Ye Qingtao originally thought that this was Gu Jingming's first visit to Yangshu Town and he should not know about Yangtian Machinery Factory.

He skillfully turned the car and drove in the opposite direction of Yangtian Machinery Factory. Zhu Guihua immediately became anxious when he saw that the road was wrong.

"Wrong, wrong, the Yangtian Machinery Factory is on the right, why are you driving to the left?"

"Go buy something first."

Gu Jingming stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the door of the only supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll come over after I buy something."

Gu Jingming got out of the car after he finished speaking, while Zhu Guihua was still muttering to himself.

"Isn't the Yangtian Machinery Factory over there? If he wants to buy something, he can just drop us off and walk. Why does he have to bring us to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Ye Qingtao looked in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative and had some guesses in his mind.

Ten minutes later, Gu Jingming was seen coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying large and small bags.

Gu Jingming put the things in the trunk, got in the car, and drove it skillfully to the gate of the staff quarters.

"Auntie, which building do you live in? I'll take you to your doorstep."

Zhu Guihua originally wanted to get off the car, but she didn't expect Gu Jingming to be so polite.

Zhu Guihua is now a little hesitant about Gu Jingming's marriage to her daughter and wants to go back and discuss it with her husband.

Therefore, she didn't want to bring him in, but Gu Jingming was too enthusiastic and Zhu Guihua couldn't refuse him at all.

She tried to get off the car several times but was interrupted by Gu Jingming.

Finally, the car stopped at the door of the house. Gu Jingming got out first and then took the initiative to open the door for them.

In the 1980s, there were more and more small cars, but not everyone could use them.

Their family compound is full of employees, and everyone's salary is not high, so it is impossible for them to afford a car.

Among them, there are also some leaders who have good salaries but still find it difficult to buy a car.

Only Lu Yunchuan's family, because his father is the factory director, can often ride in the factory's car, which can satisfy their urge to ride in a car.

The machinery factory works in three shifts, and the early shift gets off work at this time.

Gu Jingming suddenly drove to the door, causing quite a stir in the family compound.

Everyone craned their necks to see who was coming back in the car.

The person who got off the bus first was a tall and handsome man. He was wearing a white shirt. He looked broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and he stood very tall.

Everyone was guessing that this person with such a good temperament must not be from their Yangshu Town.

Then Gu Jingming opened the car door and invited Zhu Guihua and her daughter to get out.
