Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 249 The Weak Girl of the Age 56

Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru are not in a hurry either.

Marriage is a major event in life. You have to find someone who satisfies you so that you can live a good life.

After hearing what the matchmakers said, the people in the team gave up their thoughts.

Their family is doing well, so there is no need to marry their son off.

If she marries into the wife's family, all the children she will have will have the woman's surname, and the family lineage will be cut off...

For a while, no one asked matchmakers to come to propose marriage.

Guo Zhenru scratched his ears and said, "Oh, my ears are finally quiet."

"So many matchmakers came to propose marriage, which shows that our baby is excellent."

Guo Zhenru held her head high, with pride written all over her face: "Of course my good kid is excellent, so we have to choose carefully."

Then he leaned close to Gu Jin's ear and warned him softly, "Don't be so stupid as to agree to another marriage proposal."

"I made a stupid mistake once, will I make the same mistake again?"

"It's hard to say~~ What if you get drunk and talk nonsense again..."

Gu Jin quickly dropped the carving knife in his hand and said, "God and heaven are my conscience, my wife, I never go out drinking with others!!!"

Guo Zhenru chuckled and tapped Gu Jin's chest with his finger: "I was just saying~~"

Gu Jin smiled helplessly

After a year of recuperation, Gu Nuanyi came to the commune hospital for a follow-up examination.

The doctor who had been in charge of Gu Nuanyi's condition said with a bright smile: "Congratulations! You are in good health now! But you still need to pay more attention to rest and don't overwork. After all, it has only been a year since you had the surgery. It is best to have a physical examination every year after that."

Gu Nuanyi responded obediently: "Thank you, doctor!"

Guo Zhenru clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky again and again, silently saying in his heart: "Thank you, doctor, thank you, God!"

Even though Gu Nuanyi's reexamination showed no problems, Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru still did not let Gu Nuanyi work in the fields to earn work points.

Gu Nuanyi had to find something to do to pass the time, such as making clothes, sewing shoe soles, or collecting firewood in the mountains.

After a while, everyone in the family had a new piece of clothing and new shoes.

Occasionally, Gu Nuanyi would walk around the brigade and listen to Grandma Chuntao talk about the latest news happening in the brigade.

Grandma Chuntao: "A new batch of educated youth has arrived. If more come, the educated youth home will be full."

Another grandmother: "If the Youth Farm is full, the team leader and secretary will solve the problem. Why should we worry about it?"

Grandma Chuntao sighed with a sad face: "It would be great if the educated youth hadn't come. That educated youth Jiang kept asking my grandson to work for her. He couldn't get any soup or meat, and I don't even know if he could get married in the end. Why didn't my grandson listen to me..."

Grandma Chuntao's words also resonated with others: "Hey, my grandson feels the same way! What on earth are those female educated youth here for? If they don't want to come, then don't come. If they come, they just hook up with men to work for them. What's the matter? Aren't there no men in the city?"

At this time, Gu Nuanyi said: "It's not that they wanted to come here, it's the policy from above that every family must have a child to go to the countryside."

Grandma Chuntao looked at Gu Nuanyi and asked teasingly, "Little Nuanyi, are there any male educated youths that you like?"

Gu Nuanyi shook her head directly: "No! Grandma Chuntao, my parents said they want to find a son-in-law for me. He has family in the city, so why would he stay in our team? Besides, if they go back to the city at that time, what will we say? Should we divorce or follow him to the city..."

Grandma Chuntao couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up with the help of a cane: "No, I have to go and talk to my grandson. If he can't get married, he should stay away from those educated youths."

Other grandmothers also stood up and said, "I'll go back and tell my grandson and granddaughter too."

Everyone left, Gu Nuanyi also patted the dust off her butt and walked slowly towards home

Gu Nuanyi returned home and lay on the recliner, fanning herself comfortably. Not far away, a little kid was trying to hold a water cup and stumbling towards Gu Nuanyi.

She handed the cup of water in her hand to Gu Nuanyi and said sweetly, "Sister, drink sweet water."

Gu Nuanyi took the water cup with one hand and held Gu Tianhe in her arms with the other. Although the little guy stumbled along the way, the water in the cup did not spill at all.

Gu Nuanyi took a sip of the brown sugar water and said, "Tianhe is great, the water didn't spill at all."

Gu Tianhe raised his head proudly: "That's right, I'm awesome!"

That smug look almost melted Gu Nuanyi's heart.

Gu Nuanyi gently pinched Gu Tianhe's little face, and then the two of them fell asleep while rocking on the recliner.

"Wow, is this the new educated youth? How come he is so tall..."

"He looks strong and sturdy, he must be a good worker"

"I don't think so. He looks stupid and not smart at all."

"What kind of cleverness is needed to work? Look at the few clever ones who came in the last batch. They always hook up with the guys in the team to help with the work. Do you still need cleverness?"

"Then forget it..."

Gu Nuanyi listened to the sound getting closer and closer, and rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance. Was there some gossip in the team that attracted those aunts?

Gu Tianhe was also woken up and rubbed his eyes with his hand: "Sister, I'm sleepy!"

Gu Nuanyi patted Gu Tianhe's back soothingly: "Sister will carry you to the room to sleep, okay?"

Gu Tianhe nodded sleepily

When Gu Nuanyi finished coaxing Gu Tianhe out, she saw her father standing on tiptoe with a measuring tape to measure the height of a tall man.

Measuring height?? Her father doesn't even know how to make clothes, so why is he measuring height??

Then I heard her father say: "1 meters tall, boy, what did you eat to grow so tall..."

The tall guy scratched his head and said, "No... I didn't eat anything."

Gu Jin put away the measuring tape and said, "Young man, do you want a two-meter bed or a two-and-a-half-meter bed?"

"Two and a half meters, maybe? It'll give me more room to sleep, Captain, is that ok?"

Tang Bei thought about the room situation in the Youth Hostel and felt a little headache. There were 8 beds in a room in the Youth Hostel. If he put a 5-meter bed in it, it would obviously occupy a separate room.

If this is the case, the other educated youth will definitely make a fuss, but we can't let the educated youth who came to the countryside curl up and sleep all the time...

It's not my fault that I'm this tall...

Tang Bei pulled him aside and discussed with him: "Han Tuo, how about this, you rent a house to live alone, and I'll give you a cheaper rent"

"Sure! I have no objection."

Tang Bei looked at Hantuo's dull eyes and suddenly felt that this child had only grown in height but not in brains...

Shouldn't he have taken advantage of the situation to bargain with me? Why did he just stand there and do nothing?

How come this child was sent to the countryside? Are his family members really at ease?

But whether you can rest assured or not is their family's business. Just make sure you have a clear conscience.

Tang Bei patted Hantuo's shoulder and said, "Then come with me to look at houses later. It will take some time to make this bed. In the meantime, you will have to sleep on that small bed."

Hantuo nodded: "I can sleep in a small bed, too."

Tang Bei: ...As the name suggests, he is just a fool...
