After the big event was settled, Gao Xiulan finally didn’t have to suppress her urge to brag anymore.
Before the matter was settled, her daughter had always disagreed to talk about it, worrying that she would not like the other party at that time. She said it would give them a bad reputation. It’s all right now, they see each other right, and the matter of engagement has been settled, so it’s natural to talk about it.
As soon as she went out, she ran into Guo Changsheng head-on.
Guo Changsheng looked at Gao Xiulan in a daze. He just stood outside and didn’t dare to enter the house. Hearing the laughter inside, he didn’t dare to go in. He only secretly asked Su Dabao, the eldest grandson of the Su family, to come out and ask. Su Dabao said at that time, “My uncle is here, and my uncle came to see my aunt. My uncle belongs to the county magistrate’s family!”
Oh, the county magistrate’s family, it must be the county magistrate’s family.
As for the aunt, which aunt’s father, no, no, which aunt’s partner is here? Thinking about it again, isn’t there only that little girl in Old Su’s family?
Guo Changsheng is a person with a fairly normal mind. Apart from being surprised when the old Su family will marry the county magistrate’s family, he is still thinking about one thing. What is Secretary Hao doing here? Then it reminded him that a long time ago, Secretary Hao asked him about Su Qinghe, the little girl of the old Su family… What did he say at the time, of course, it was an exaggeration.
So, so Secretary Hao believed it? Made a match from it? The county magistrate Gu also came to the team last time, and asked about the old Su’s family, and what did he say? It’s still a great compliment!
So the magistrate Gu’s family is married to the old Su’s family, and he also took part in it?
After trying to understand this, Guo Changsheng almost cried. Woooooo…Qing’er is a nice person, but, but…
The Gu County Chief’s family will not want a lazy wife.
What should I do?!
Seeing Gao Xiulan now, he looked ashamed and dejected.
Gao Xiulan looked disgusted, “Captain Guo, what are you doing? Our family is happy, who are you showing this to? Do you know who our family is married to? The county magistrate who just sent us relief last time, County Magistrate Gu! Our Qing’er is going to be their daughter-in-law.”
Gao Xiulan said proudly.
Captain Guo listened, but ten thousand arrows pierced his heart. Woohoohoo, if people find it inappropriate in the future… what can he do?
Gao Xiulan didn’t care about him, she turned around and went to brag to other people on the team. She didn’t need to take the initiative to brag, many people already knew that the county magistrate and Secretary Hao had gone to their house, but they didn’t dare to go over to watch the fun.
Now they are waiting for the old Su family to come out. Seeing Gao Xiulan come out neatly dressed, they immediately surrounded her, “Aiguo’s mother, what’s wrong with your house? The county magistrate also went to your house.”
“I also saw Secretary Hao, with a wrinkled smile on his face. ”
“Dagen’s wife, tell us if there is anything good.”
“…”
Gao Xiulan tidied her collar and cuffs without haste, and said with a sullen face, “What’s there to say? I’m not like others. if something goes wrong, others want to hear about it. Isn’t it just that our Qing’er and the youngest son of the county magistrate Gu’s family are getting married? It’s not a big deal. What’s wrong with the magistrate’s family? That’s no different from us ordinary people, right?”
Everyone: “…” Silence for three seconds.
Is it true that the little daughter of the Su family is getting married to the youngest son of the county magistrate’s family?
Gao Xiulan continued, “Our family is not in a hurry at all. Our Qing’er is still young, and we can’t get the certificate. The county magistrate Gu said, first get engaged, and we will go to someone’s house for the engagement in two days. In the future, our Qing’er will have in-laws. Hey, I can’t bear to think about it, and my heart hurts.”
Even if you say this, it’s true!
Everyone looked at Gao Xiulan excitedly and enviously.
“Aiguo’s mother, when did you get to know the county magistrate’s family? Could it be that the county magistrate took a fancy to Qinghe last time?” ”
“Yes, I said that our Qinghe is blessed, even the big mouse likes her.”
“…”
The old Su family is different, they are married to the county magistrate’s family. This is really a great blessing.
It’s no wonder that the old Su’s family wants to raise such a noble daughter. It turns out that raising a daughter in this way can have such benefits.
Isn’t that right? Only the daughters raised in this way can be valued by the county magistrate’s family. Gao Xiulan is indeed the smartest person in Sujia Village, her eyes can see far.
Not to mention Sujia Village, the entire Yellow River production team soon found out the news, and then it spread to other production teams.
After hearing the news, Old Lin’s family and Old Ding’s family also came to congratulate them the next day.
Even Mrs. Ding looked at her in-law Gao Xiulan with admiration.
Now she finally understands why Gao Xiulan loves her daughter so much. She is waiting for this. Secretly said to her daughter Ding Guihua, “I can see that your mother-in-law is too smart. She raised a daughter and went directly to the county magistrate’s house. Guihua, Mom misunderstood her before. She is far-sighted. Qing’er has only been eating at home for more than ten years, but she will marry well in the future, and you and Aihua should also follow suit. In the future, Dabao and Sanya will also be honored by their aunt. ”
Ding Guihua said, “I have seen it for a long time. My mother-in-law is very nice. Mom, you believe it this time.”
Mrs. Ding nodded, “I believe it.”
On the other side, Mrs. Lin was also talking to her daughter, ” From now on, your sister-in-law said that she is a good in-law’s family, and you follow. After all, your mother-in-law is still doing it for her son. This daughter is married well, but isn’t her maiden family still honored?”
Lin Shuhong thought it made sense, “Mom, I also think my mother-in-law is very good. This time, when making clothes for the children, my mother-in-law made the clothes for Da Ya and Er Ya first, and even Da Bao and Er Bao came behind.” ”
“I knew your mother-in-law is a good one. You should be more filial with her and listen to her in the future. As a mother-in-law, she will never harm her son and daughter-in-law.”
Lin Shuhong nodded, feeling that it was too bad that she had a small mind before. The mother-in-law is kind to the little girl, isn’t it for today? If you are not generous to your daughter, how can you be regarded by the county magistrate’s family?
After seeing off Old Lin’s family and Old Ding’s family, Gao Xiulan took her daughter back to her mother’s house. The so-called uncle is the oldest, Qing’er does not have a father, this uncle is considered to be the same person as a real father. Uncle Gao Fusheng had to come forward when making an engagement.
Seeing that Gao Xiulan was about to go empty-handed again, Su Qinghe said, “Mom, I’m not an ordinary person now. If you go empty-handed, I won’t look good. Didn’t the old Gu family bring some snacks over yesterday, let’s bring some to grandma. That thing is soft, grandma can bite it.”
Gao Xiulan said, “That’s such a good thing, you haven’t eaten much.”The water is flowing downwards. Compared with her mother, she certainly loves her daughter more.
Su Qinghe said proudly, “Mom, I’m going to be a daughter-in-law for someone else, and I won’t care about this in the future. If you want to eat it in the future, I’ll give it to you.”
Hearing this, Gao Xiulan felt that it was right. Later, her daughter won’t miss this bite to eat.
“Okay, bring some for your grandma.”
“Bring two more eggs, and let grandma make egg drop soup secretly in the house. Let my grandma be in better health so that I can let my uncle continue to treat us well in the future.”
“It makes sense!”
So when the two went to Old Gao’s house, there were eggs in the back basket and some big white noodles.
When they arrived at Old Gao’s house, Gao Xiulan yelled, “Mom, I’m back to see you.”
Someone immediately responded, “Oh, Xiulan is here!”
One walked into the house, the other walked out, and finally met in the yard.
Su Qinghe was moved to look at this scene, and next to it, Dasai Gao was going sour.
“Mom, I brought you a lot of things. Let’s go into the house. My daughter and her husband’s family brought some snacks. Qing’er couldn’t bear to eat them, so we brought them to honor you.”
Granny Gao was moved and burst into tears. Yes, “I’ve heard all about it. Our Qing’er is blessed. We have found a good husband’s family, so we won’t have to worry about her suffering in the future.”
“Isn’t that right? They are in love with each other.”
Dasao Gao next to her couldn’t help but said, “It’s her uncle who made the match.” She feels sour thinking of this. Her own daughter hasn’t found such a good family. This father belongs to someone else’s family!
Gao Xiulan smiled and said, “People have been doing matchmaking for the county magistrate’s family, why do they only look at our Qing’er? That’s our Qing’er’s own ability! When people hear that Qing’er has three elder brothers, they like it so much.”
Of course, Old lady Gao knew her daughter-in-law’s little thoughts, she glared at her daughter-in-law and said, “Did you hear that? Thanks to our Xiulan she gave birth to a son. If you are capable, you can also give birth to three brothers for your daughter. ”
Dasao Gao almost vomited blood like a thousand arrows piercing through their heart. She twisted her waist, and entered the kitchen, “I’ll make sugar water for them.”
Old lady Gao said, “Should have been so conscious a long time ago.”
Sister-in-Law Gao almost hit the wall when she heard it.
After entering the house, Gao Xiulan showed the good things to her mother bit by bit.
Looking at so many good things. Old lady Gao had a lot of tears and snot. I really didn’t treat my daughter well in vain. She is so filial.
As for the son… that’s right! She was so kind to her son, she even sent him to study. Xiulan even tried to save face for him, if he wasn’t nice to Xiulan, which white-eyed wolf would he want to be nice to?!
Old lady Gao was so moved that she almost showed her heart to Gao Xiulan, turned around, and went to open her own cabinet. She took everything out; cloth, rock sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, and canned food, as well as money and tickets wrapped in handkerchiefs.
Gao Xiulan’s eyes directly look forward.
Su Qinghe: “…” This is not the result she wanted.
“I have saved this money and tickets for a long time, and I will give it to our Qing’er for her dowry.”
Su Qinghe hurriedly said, “Grandma, it’s still early, I’m going to be engaged, not married. We haven’t reached that age yet. You can keep the money and tickets for your own use, I don’t need them.”
The old lady Gao said, “What do you know? Engagement and marriage are almost the same. People who don’t pay attention to others will change into new clothes and go directly to their husband’s houses, even without eating. Who invites you to dinner in this famine year? The county magistrate’s family is very particular, and he is determined to be a relative. This engagement is no different from getting married. I don’t think it makes any difference whether there is a certificate or not.”
“…”
Gao Xiulan immediately said, “That’s right, Qing’er just don’t understand things. This has something to do with the daughter-in-law’s status in her in-law’s family. You live well in your in-law’s house, so won’t you make your grandma look good in the future?”
Old lady Gao said, ” That’s right, take it, take it all. I’ll leave it here anyway.” Then she stuffed it into Gao Xiulan’s pocket.
After packing the things, Gao Xiulan explained to old lady Gao about sending Gao Fusheng to the county magistrate’s house tomorrow.
The old lady Gao patted her heart and said, “Let him go in custody. He belongs to a commune supply and marketing agency. It’s an honor that he can go to the county magistrate’s house for dinner. If he doesn’t go, I will beat him.”
When mother and daughter left the Old Gao’s home, Gao Xiulan was beaming with joy.
“Qing’er, you are really smart. Knowing that you have to send more things to your grandma, your grandma will give us more. We will do this in the future.”
Su Qinghe wiped her forehead. I don’t want to say anything.
The old Gu’s family in the county seat is also busy.
The Gu family doesn’t have any relatives in the county. Deputy county magistrate Gu was also assigned to the local government after changing jobs. There is basically no one in this family. However, Mother Gu still has relatives here. Unlike Gao Xiulan, she is the only daughter and has two elder brothers in Mother Gu’s family. They are all in the county.
Knowing that the little nephew was going to be engaged, they donated generously one after another. All tickets are stuffed here.
Mother Gu put away all the tickets, preparing to subsidize her youngest son in the future. Then she urged Deputy County Magistrate Gu, “Have you bought the bicycle? I will give it to Qing’er tomorrow. It will be convenient for her to come home later. Chang’an is not at home, so I have to look at her to feel at ease.”
Deputy County Governor Gu hurriedly urged his old friend with a headache.
He got the bike back in the afternoon. A Shanghai Yongjiu bicycle.
Looking at the shiny bicycle, Eldest sister-in-law Gu and Second sister-in-law Gu were dazzled.
The conditions of their family are actually average, and their natal family can’t afford a bicycle. The in-laws never said they wanted to buy it. After all, you can walk back to work when you usually walk to work, so you don’t need to. They all want to have two daughters-in-law. If they can’t buy it, they will not compare it. It’s normal for the in-laws not to buy it.
But now it’s for the wife of the third son of the family who hasn’t gotten married yet, so she bought it as soon as she said she would buy it…
The two of them felt sad for a while.
The second sister-in-law Gu said, “Mom, I don’t think Qinghe has ridden a bicycle before. How about I use it for a while, and then I will teach her? After all, Chang’an will go to the army in a few days, and no one will teach her.”
After thinking about it, yes, Qing’er doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle.
Gu Changan looked around the bicycle, and when he heard this, he said, “She said she can do everything. She should be able to do this too.” A good girl will not lie, she will definitely know how to ride a bicycle.
Gu Ma said, “Yes, Qing’er will definitely.”
Seeing that the matter was almost done, but was ruined by a word from her brother-in-law, the second sister-in-law almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, she believed that the little ancestor would definitely not. It is impossible to have a bicycle for her to practice in the countryside, so how could it be possible? If she1Su Qinghe doesn’t know how to ride tomorrow, then she2Second sister-in-law Gu has to keep this bike for herself, hehehe.
There is always something left to love.”
