Chapter 457 Engagement
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu, what are you doing?" Xu Yuan continued to sow the remaining seeds in the field. Gu Qinghan had already leveled the land, and the workload was not much, so she was working leisurely. Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu came over here. Uncle Wang was driving an ox cart. Both of them had happy looks on their faces, and their clothes seemed to be brand new.
Gu Qinghan did not come to help. He knew that a new oil mill had been built in the village. It was the peanut oil that Xu Yuan specially gave him last time. The oil was very fragrant. The oil mill had stopped operating at this time, so he took the time to take the people who had just returned to the village to visit it.
Uncle Wang’s face is full of smiles, but it’s rare to see a hint of youth in his old face.
"Yuan girl, we have something important to tell you. Please put aside the work at hand for now and go back to our place." Uncle Liu said.
"This..." Xu Yuan was a little surprised.
"What's going on? Why are you dressed so formally?"
"Yuan girl, you will know when you go. We will keep it a secret for you first. Xiaozhi, you come too." Uncle Wang instructed.
So Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi followed Uncle Wang and his friends back home with doubts.
Before he made the wish, he saw from afar Xu Qing, Aunt Li and Aunt Pan standing at the door waiting for him.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for her.
Xu Zhi still looks confused. Although he doesn't know what happened, he thinks it is a good thing since Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu take it so seriously and are so happy about it.
The ox cart stopped in front of Uncle Wang's house. Xu Yuan could see clearly that Xu Qing and others standing in front of the door were not dressed in their usual clothes. They were all dressed in new clothes. In the eyes of farmers, such clothes were only worn on important days.
Is today an important day? How could she not know that the clothes she and Xu Zhi were wearing were out of place in front of them.
"Xiaoyuan, come in quickly." Liu Zhushan and Wang Shan, dressed in new clothes, greeted happily.
"Yuan girl, come in and sit down." Chen Dafu and Village Chief Gu came out and greeted her.
Uncle Feng, Uncle Pan, and even a few older uncles in the village.
Ok?
They were all people she was familiar with.
There were several tables put together in the main hall.
Everyone was divided up, Village Chief Gu and Xu Qing sat on the other side, while everyone who followed sat on Xu Yuan's side. Xu Yuan sat in the middle, with Xu Zhi on his left, Uncle Liu a little further away, Uncle Wang on his right, and in the middle of the table sat the oldest uncle in the village.
Without exception, everyone put on new clothes.
What is all this?
It's obviously related to me, but there's no need to be so serious.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start talking about business." Village Chief Gu said solemnly.
……
On the other side, in Hsinchu School.
Gu Qinghan noticed the eyes that were frequently looking at him, and someone threw a small pebble at him. He came to his senses and looked down.
"Brother, where is father? Why are you here? You are not paying attention at all when teaching us." Gu Qingming sat in his seat, turning the brush in his hand and spoke loudly.
He had wanted to ask for a long time, but his father went out halfway through the class and called his brother. However, his brother ignored him when he came in, opened the book and started talking. After teaching them, he asked them to practice calligraphy to review. He just sat there motionless, looking out the window, in a daze.
Finally he got the chance.
Other people in the school also looked at Gu Qinghan with curiosity, as if they knew the reason.
"Dad has some things to do, I'll take over for now. Read your book carefully and stop talking. Don't disturb other people's studies."
Gu Qinghan answered calmly, but he was very excited in his heart. Although his father called him over on the way to the oil mill and emphasized that he could not go, otherwise he would not stay here obediently.
"Qingming, I saw your elder brother smiling just now. He looked so handsome. Is there any good news happening in your family?" Wang Xiaotu poked Gu Qingming's back and said quietly.
"How is that possible? My brother has a stern face every day, how could he smile? You must have seen it wrong." Gu Qingming raised his head to glance at his brother and rejected it outright.
"I'm not mistaken. I have very good eyesight. Anyway, Brother Gu definitely smiled just now."
Wang Xiaotu affirmed, then noticed someone looking at him, and quickly took back his words and closed his mouth.
Brother Gu is indeed good-looking, but he is also very fierce. His gaze is so scary.
Gu Qinghan casually glanced at everyone sitting at the table. Seeing Guozi and Xuxuan writing very seriously, he raised his eyebrows, became interested, stood up, walked around their table, and then sat back down.
How should I put it? I'm a little surprised. It's not very good nor very bad. The handwriting is just barely readable.
But thinking of the free and easy handwriting of Xuyuan, Guozi and Manyu should have been influenced by it.
I don't know how the conversation between my parents and Ayuan went?
Gu Qinghan muttered to himself.
……
When Xu Yuan heard what Xu Qing said, he didn't know how to react, and his heart suddenly felt turbulent.
This feeling seems to have never happened before, but it's very good.
An orphan girl actually has someone supporting her.
Xu Qing said, "Xiaoyuan, we represent Gu Qinghan's parents, and the uncles and aunts behind you represent your parents, and the elders sitting in the middle are witnesses. Under their witness, here, at this time, are you willing to make a marriage contract with my Qinghan?"
His eyes were full of sincerity, without any hint of coercion.
Everyone sitting there had a smile on their face, and they looked at Xuyuan as if she were their daughter or granddaughter.
Xu Zhi was sitting aside. When she heard what Xu Qing said, her eyes somehow became red and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She quietly raised her hand and wiped away the tears.
Dad and Mom, even though you are not here, my sister still has someone to protect her. They are not unwanted children, and there are people who support them behind the scenes.
Xu Yuan noticed something strange about Xu Zhi, and patted Xu Zhi gently with his hand hanging under the table.
No one spoke, all waiting for the answer to their wish.
Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu were not worried at all. It was obvious that they were interested. Gu Qinghan was a good guy too. It was a blessing for him to be with a girl as capable as Yuan Yatou.
On the other side, Feng Xing felt very upset. Such a good daughter-in-law was gone right in front of him. It was all his fault.
"Yeah." Xu Yuan calmed himself down and nodded.
The sound was not loud, but everyone present heard it. Someone shouted "OK", and then everyone laughed happily. Xu Qing's eyes turned red. "Okay, Xiaoyuan, come here, this is a token of love. From now on, we are a family."
It is an emerald-colored bracelet.
As the sound of firecrackers popped outside the door, making a wish still felt like being in a dream, a little unreal.
"Ayuan, here I come."
Until a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
