"Nier, what's wrong with this? Xiao Gu didn't even say anything in advance. Oops, the family didn't prepare anything."

Grandma looked outside through the small window of the kitchen. Just as she was about to go out, she felt that the oily twist on her apron was unseemly, so she hurriedly untied it, but the more she panicked, the harder it was to untie her.

"Old sister, let me help you." Old Mrs. Qin smiled and helped to untie it.

She has seen the big world, and she is not at all frightened when she sees Mr. Gu and the county leaders. However, guests from the Yuan family have come, and it is not appropriate for her to stay as an outsider.

"Nier, I'm going back with Dahua first, so I don't want to join in the fun with you."

"Grandma Qin, you are not an outsider. Just stay here. Besides, there must be someone at home to help support you." Yuan Ni said with a smile.

She was telling the truth. Grandma and grandpa were so panicked that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet. Uncles and aunts hid in their respective rooms, not daring to show their faces.

Compared with them, Mrs. Qin is really a show person.

"Okay, if you don't mind, I can stay and take care of you?"

"Thank you for your help."

"you are too polite."

Mr. Gu, Dad Gu and Uncle Gu were let into the main room.

The county leaders sat with him for a while and then left.

Grandpa accompanied me cautiously, only daring to put half of his buttocks on the chair, and even stopped smoking his pipe and pot.

Mr. Gu was very kind. After asking about his seniority, he directly called his grandpa Lao Chen. In terms of age, Mr. Gu was two or three years older, so he asked his grandpa to call him Lao Gu.

"You can call me Old Man Gu, it's the same thing anyway."

Grandpa called out to Lao Gu dryly, "Drink some water" and there was no further explanation.

Gu Chao smiled and said, "Grandpa, are you really like this? Why did you come so suddenly?"

At least give him some time and talk to the Chen family about the situation.

"It should have come a long time ago. Our Gu family was rude. When Mr. Geng came to our house a few days ago, I found out that the Geng family recognized Ni'er as their granddaughter. Our engagement with the Geng family fell on Ni'er.

Tell me, can I not come?You kid, have you known this for a long time?I knew you didn't tell me, which made me rude. "

A gentleman honors his promise. Even though it was an agreement made by the previous generation, Mr. Gu still attached great importance to it.

His old man had long made up his mind that unless the descendants of the Geng family wanted to have free love and voluntarily give up this agreement, he would have to fulfill the agreement even if he had to keep Gu Chao in custody.

Gu Chao vaguely knew that this was the case, because Yuan Ni had never thought of binding him with a marriage contract, so she didn't go into details. Now that his grandfather came to the door in person, Gu Chao was also happy.

This means that even if the Gu family has objections, they can't defeat this engagement.

Gu Chao said he didn't know.

Mr. Gu smiled and asked his eldest son to get the things, "Old Chen, I'm here to propose marriage. Our two families are destined to be married. The two children have been engaged for a long time, and now they are engaged. This is a destined marriage."

Grandpa nodded dryly, "I have no objection, but my wife has the final say in my family."

He is honest and does not feel embarrassed in front of his future in-laws.

Grandma arranged herself neatly and finally showed up. Yuanni and her two sisters brought melon seeds, tea, and candies to the table, "Grandpa Gu, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Anything is fine, just home-cooked meals. I'm here today because I want to finalize your marriage to Xiao Chao..."

Father Gu followed the request of taking care of the old man and put the things he brought on the table.

Nowadays, when getting married in the city, it is important to buy new furniture, which requires 72 legs, plus three turns and one ring.

The 72 legs refer to twin beds, large wardrobes, high and low cabinets, chests of drawers, and coffee tables. Anyway, the more furniture, the wealthier it is.

Three turns and one ring refers to bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios.

The Gu family just came to propose marriage today, and had not yet reached the stage of marriage, so they did not get anything according to this standard.

On the table were a woman's watch, a radio, four pieces of clothing and a pair of solid gold earrings.

This marriage proposal is very generous, which shows how much the Gu family values ​​Yuan Ni.

Grandma glanced at Yuan Ni and said, "Nier is a promising child, and she is worthy of all the things given to her. These things all belong to Nier, so I accepted them for her first."

Mr. Gu was very satisfied with grandma's attitude, "Okay, you can keep it for Nier."

After completing the procedure, both parties breathed a sigh of relief, and the uncle and aunt finally came to the main room coquettishly.

The eldest uncle and Gu's father were of the same seniority and could talk well. With them chatting with each other, the atmosphere finally became warmer.

The eldest aunt saw that she had nothing to do, so she went into the kitchen to cook.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, several sisters-in-law followed her, "How are you taking care of your family? Are you easy to talk to?"

The eldest aunt was helpless, "What can we do? It's people who come back, not tigers, and they won't eat you. Why don't you go see it yourself?"

The second aunt's expression was exaggerated, "I heard that Mr. Gu is a high-ranking official. He is older than all the officials in our county. Even if I enter the house, I will be speechless."

The fourth aunt nodded in agreement, "Me too."

The adults were nervous, but the children didn't quite understand this. Seeing that there was no movement after the main room door was closed, they boldly ran to the yard to play, rolling hoops and setting off firecrackers.

Mao Dan and Gou Dan almost started fighting over the firecrackers.

When Mr. Gu saw the boys in the courtyard, he immediately became happy and said, "Old Chen, your family has good feng shui. You have so many grandchildren."

Grandpa was also very proud and smiled sincerely, "It's not bad, it's just two people in the family."

The sisters-in-law were busy working in the kitchen and cooked a table of good meals, including meatballs and sweet potato stew, spicy pot helmets, bubble oil cakes, and noodles with soybean soup.

Grandpa finally had something to say again. He warmly invited Mr. Gu to sit down and eat, "I didn't know you were coming. If I knew you were coming, I should prepare the mutton in advance and make mutton powder soup for you."

Mr. Gu smelled the sour aroma in the air and said, "To tell you the truth, I have been here before. I don't like mutton noodle soup, but I like sour soup noodles."

"That's a good feeling."

"Let's not talk to each other as a family. Let's invite the children in to eat together."

Grandma was a little embarrassed, "There are too many children, I'm afraid you will make a fuss."

Mr. Gu patted his chest and said, "You don't understand. I'm not afraid that the children will make a fuss. I'm just afraid that the children won't make a fuss."

Grandma and grandpa looked at each other.

It was Gu Chao who came forward in person to invite the shy Chen family in for dinner.

I have to say that there are so many Chen family members, especially the sons of the eldest uncle and the second uncle. They are all young men, and they are all very energetic.

Mr. Gu had already made preparations. Before serving the bowl, he distributed red envelopes to all his grandchildren.

After Mao Dan and Gou Dan'er took the red envelope, no one expected that Dahua also stretched out his hand, "I want it too..."

Old Mrs. Qin quickly pulled her away, "Dahua, don't be embarrassed."

She stretched out her hand and revealed the twist silver bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet had a special pattern and three small bells hanging on it.

As soon as Mr. Gu saw the bracelet, his eyes straightened. He looked at Mrs. Qin carefully, "You are the eldest sister of the Qin family..."
