Materials Department of County Hydropower Bureau.

After dinner, Xie Yuanhang leaned back in the chair, touching his stomach, looking as if he was still unsatisfied.

Gu Errong stood by the bookcase looking up information.

Tong County has suffered from severe drought in the past two years and the crop yields are very poor. The Water Conservancy Bureau plans to set up a special project team to bring water from other places.

Gu Errong is responsible for writing the preliminary feasibility report analysis.

"Hey, Brother Rong, you said your sister-in-law is not married yet, so have you met her fiancé?"

"No."

Xie Yuanhang used his fingers to tidy up his hair and said narcissistically, "He's definitely not as handsome as me!"

Gu Errong stared at the information, smiled and shook his head.

"Jingle Bell……"

Xie Yuanhang sat up straight and picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Is it Yuanhang?" Gu Errong's mother Wang Huiying's voice came out, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Auntie. I'll let Errong answer the phone now."

At that time, telephones were still a scarce commodity, and only half of the households in the village had one.

Before, when Gu Yunliang and Wang Huiying missed their younger son, they would ask their older son Gu Ruyi to help write letters.

But since last year, the weather has been bad and the crops in the fields have all been sun-dried to death, so the eldest son took his daughter-in-law to work in other places.

The task of writing the letter was given to Gu Ruyi's 7-year-old son Gu Yuanyuan.

But Gu Yuanyuan was not a good student. He didn't recognize a few words in one year of school, and his pinyin was a mess. Every time Gu Errong received a letter, it was like reading a foreign book. He had no idea what his nephew was talking about.

At the beginning of the year, Gu Errong installed a landline phone at home, but the old couple still couldn't bear to use it.

There was no other choice but to call his parents at a fixed time every Friday night to report his safety.

This is the second time my parents have called me.

The first time he called was to talk about his engagement.

That was two months ago.

At that time, Gu Yunliang accidentally fell down the mountain while doing farm work and broke his waist.

Both of her sons are not around, and Wang Huiying has high blood pressure. She works in the fields during the day and takes care of her husband at night, and she is becoming increasingly unable to cope.

The marriage of their youngest son has always been a huge burden on the couple.

My son is good-looking, tall, and is paid by the government, so it should be easy for him to find a partner.

It was true. The matchmakers had almost broken the door to their house, but this guy just wouldn't listen and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Considering their son's filial piety, the couple decided to use Gu Yunliang's back injury as an excuse and make their younger son get married quickly.

When they brought up this matter, Gu Errong immediately hired a live-in nanny to take care of his elderly father.

Gu Yunliang made all kinds of excuses, such as not being able to serve well, not being used to it, etc., and forced three or four nannies to leave.

Of course, older ginger is spicier!

Finally, Wang Huiying took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, saying that the matchmaker this time was a good sister of hers when she was young and that she was absolutely reliable, and she talked about how beautiful the girl from the Guan family was and how virtuous and capable she was.

Gu Errong compromised.

In fact, the reason why he has always been reluctant to get married is that he has always believed that love is an encounter, not a matchmaking.

He doesn't need to live with anyone.

He wants a passionate love!

But in the end, he compromised.

Gu Errong put down the information and answered the phone, "Mom."

"Hey, Rong'er. There's something I want you to tell me first. The Guan family wants to exchange marriages."

Gu Errong frowned.

"They wanted to marry their eldest daughter to me. What kind of people are they? They had agreed on a good date, but now they changed their minds..."

Gu Errong's heart skipped a beat, and he could no longer hear what his mother said next.

Eldest daughter?

Isn’t that the girl from before?

He felt his heart start beating wildly at the thought of marrying that girl.

"Rong'er? Did you hear what mom said? Your dad and I said that since it has come to this, we should only invite people from our village to the banquet, and forget about people from other villages."

"why?"

"Didn't you hear? They want to add 200 yuan to the betrothal gift and ask for it to be paid the night before the wedding."

"Okay, no problem. I'll take care of the money. As for the banquet, it's still the same as before."

Gu Errong's straightforwardness left Wang Huiying stunned.

But her son didn't have any objections, which finally made her breathe a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Yuanhang discovered that the cool and handsome guy actually raised the corners of his mouth.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a good mood. Is there any big news?"

Gu Errong just smiled and said nothing.

This happened too suddenly, so suddenly that it made him feel like he was dreaming. It would be better to be cautious until the dust settles.

He stared at the information, and the image of the cute girl who "fleeed" carrying a large cardboard box appeared in front of him.

*

Guan family.

The bus driver was a nice guy. After everyone got off the bus, he found a large cart on the street and helped Guan Youshuang move the furniture to her house.

Guan Youshuang originally wanted to invite the driver into the house to have a drink of water, but she didn't know that there was chaos at home.

Zhang Caihe waved a broom and hit Guan Ruijie, who covered his butt and cried loudly.

Seeing that there were outsiders, Zhang Caihe restrained herself a little.

They quickly moved the furniture into the yard, and Liang Yuting sensibly left with the driver.

"Sister, sister." Guan Ruijie cried heartbreakingly.

"what happened?"

"You bastard, how dare you ask! If you hadn't given Xiaojie random advice, would he have gotten into this trouble?" Zhang Caihe was angry and took it out on Guan Youshuang.

"What's going on?"

"Speak!" Zhang Caihe yelled at her son.

"Sister, I, I accidentally broke Fengfeng's head. He wanted to cut my hand with a knife, and I was too scared, so I picked up a stone. I wanted to scare him, and I don't know how his head got broken." Guan Ruijie said sobbingly.

"You did a great job!" Guan Youshuang pulled her brother up and wiped his tears. "I promise he won't dare to hit you again next time!"

"Are you still asleep or are you mentally ill? Ah? Are you trying to teach Xiaojie to kill people and set fires? Don't you know who Fengfeng's grandfather is? If you do this, will we still get relief food in the future?"

Guan Youshuang quickly searched her memory. Grandpa Fengfeng? Wasn't he the old village chief? Was he also worthy of the word "identity"?

"Don't you have a hundred yuan? Pay for Fengfeng's medical expenses." Zhang Caihe said viciously, "After they finish the examination, you can give it to them."

Guan Youshuang walked lazily to the eaves, sat on the steps, pointed at the furniture with her chin, and said, "This is so unfortunate. I have already spent the money."

"You spent the hundred dollars? What did you buy?" Zhang Caihe looked incredulous.

"A sofa and a large wardrobe."

Zhang Caihe softened her attitude. "It's rare that you still consider your family. Look, you and Leilei are getting married soon, and all the relatives and neighbors will come. Your family is indeed in need of some decent furniture."

"Who said I bought this for my family? This is my dowry!"
