This was the first thing Aunt Li thought of. Over the years, she had gone to the countryside a lot and heard a lot of things, so it was inevitable that she would overthink things.
"No, Auntie, you're overthinking it. I just think he's a good guy, and his family isn't difficult to get along with. Since we're going to get married sooner or later anyway, let's just settle it now."
Aunt Li was speechless when she heard this. If it were her own daughter, she would definitely scold her, but Gu An'an was not.
"Are you really not going to reconsider?"
Although that young man seems quite good, having become a deputy regimental commander at such a young age, their An'an is even better. She has plenty of time to choose and pick others, so there's no need for her to get married so young.
"The marriage certificate has been issued."
The main point is that she agreed to this herself, so there's really no need for her to back out now.
Aunt Li took a few deep breaths, but she had never married a daughter herself. Although she had seen other people's families before, she didn't have a comprehensive understanding of them.
Now that she feels the urgency of marrying off her daughter, she'll definitely want to find out more.
"Okay, I'll ask after get off work and call you tomorrow morning at 10 or 11."
In the dead of winter, my little girl should be able to sleep in.
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow and wait for your call."
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Li lost all interest in her work. With only two minutes left before she was about to leave work, she tidied up and went to Director Li's office.
"Old Li."
Factory Director Li looked up and saw his wife looking anxious, thinking there might be a problem with the accounts.
"What's wrong?"
"An'an is getting married."
"What?"
The news was so shocking that he knocked over a teacup on his desk, spilling tea on his notebook. He could only wipe it up with a cloth while asking, "Who told you that? An'an?"
Aunt Li nodded, "That's right, it's that girl. She just called my office and said that her boyfriend is taking leave after the New Year to come back and marry her, and asked me what I should prepare."
Factory Director Li was also worried. Although he had thought that such a day might come the day Gu An'an went to the countryside, he did not expect it to happen so soon.
"Is it really that urgent?"
“The marriage application has been submitted, and the leave should have been taken as well. Sigh! Why is An’an so stubborn? I was hoping to find her a trusted friend here so we could help her if anything happened in the future. Now that she’s married so far away, we can’t do anything for her.”
The couple were anxious, but they also knew that Gu An'an was very determined, and once she had made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it.
Moreover, according to Chen Yong, Gu An'an's boyfriend is a good person—good-looking, capable, and caring. What can they do if they can't accept him?
"Go and find out what you need to prepare for your daughter's wedding, and we'll prepare it for her."
Thinking of the old factory director, Director Li felt a pang of melancholy. If the old director were still alive, he would be both happy and reluctant to part with him.
Although An'an is capable, marriage is not just about ability; it also depends on whether her family has connections. Although the Xiao family seems good now, we must consider their character.
"Okay, how about we go there after the New Year? Anyway, those two brats aren't coming back, so let's treat it as a vacation."
Factory Director Li thought about his work and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's finish up as much work as we can while we have this time, and then we'll come back after we send An'an off to her wedding."
Although the factory is busy, there are also many employees, so being away for a period of time isn't a big problem.
"Okay, I'll head back now. Come back when you're done with your work."
Aunt Li asked her friends about her daughter's marriage in detail, and even wrote it down in her hand so she wouldn't forget anything.
11:00 AM the next day.
Gu An'an received the call on time.
"What? You and Uncle Li are coming over? There's no need for that."
"No, no, just listen to us. A young girl can't get married without her family's support. Just prepare what I told you. Don't worry about the rest. Your uncle and I will take care of it."
Gu An'an really didn't know what to say, and her voice began to choke up.
"Auntie, you're so good to me, I..."
"Alright, stop crying. I treat you like my daughter. If you say these things again, I'll get angry."
Gu An'an didn't say anything, but she also kept the couple in her heart.
Some people are not related by blood but get along better than biological relatives. Since there is such a connection, why would she push it away?
At worst, I can just take care of them when I go back home.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
Just as busy as they were were the Xiao family members. Ever since Xiao Yuheng told her that he was getting married, Xiao's mother hadn't had a single day without being unhappy.
She agrees with everything her son says, and she buys things he doesn't even mention.
Seeing that she was always carrying large bags in and out, and that new furniture had been delivered to her door these past few days, Liang's mother asked curiously, "Aheng's mother, what are you doing these past few days? Buying so much stuff."
"Oh dear, isn't it because my Ah Heng has finally come to his senses and wants to get married? With the new bride coming into the house, there are a lot of things to change. Are you disturbed?"
Just then, Liang Qiu came home from get off work and, upon hearing this, quickly went inside with a grim expression.
Mother Liang sighed inwardly, but still smiled and congratulated her, saying, "Such a happy occasion must require a lot of things to be bought. I congratulate you in advance. There are still things on the stove, so I'll get back to work."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Xiao's mother knew this was just an excuse, but she didn't call it out and hurriedly took the things inside.
"You brat, who are you trying to fool with that long face?"
Recently, Liang's mother has become increasingly dissatisfied with Liang Qiu.
"It's none of your business."
Liang Qiu tried to go inside, but her mother grabbed her arm. "I'm your mother. If I don't take care of you, who will? Ah Heng is getting married soon. I advise you to give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible."
"What do you mean by 'not having the right thoughts'? I was the one who met him first, and you used to be very supportive of us being together. Why should I have to give up to someone who just appeared out of nowhere!"
Liang Qiu wanted to forget, and even went on blind dates arranged by her parents. But no matter which one she went on, she always habitually compared the other person to Xiao Yuheng, so it was no wonder that things didn't go well.
"You better watch your temper. You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
"Why should I! Just because Ah Heng likes that girl, just because the Xiao family is very satisfied with that girl, isn't that enough?"
"But......"
Seeing her daughter acting like this, Liang's mother cut her off immediately, "But what? There are no buts. They're getting married now. If you dare to cause any trouble, see if your father won't beat you up."
“If you still can’t figure it out, you can quit your job. I’ll send you to your grandma’s for a while, and you can think about it yourself.”
