225 Chapter 225 Engagement (1)

“You’re too kind, Grandma. It’s just a win-win situation. However, it seems things aren’t looking good this year, and we’ll have to find a way to store more food.”

“That’s true. We’ve dried the remaining rapeseed and cabbage leftover from last season.

“Oh right, we are also planning to sun-dry some white potatoes.

“If you two don’t have enough food to eat, just come and take some; we have plenty at home.”

!!

“Sure, I won’t be polite when we really need it.” Zhou Ying smiled and nodded.

Gu Ziqiu quickly brought out a plate of dried fruits as the two chatted.





Just then, Father Gu and the others returned home with the groom’s family. Madam Qiao immediately got up and went out to welcome them with Zhou. As for Gu Ziqiu, she hid herself in the inner room.

Soon, a woman dressed in gaudy clothes walked in with a smile. Behind her were a middle-aged couple, a young couple, and a young man.

Zhou Ying didn’t even need to guess to know that the young man was Gu Ziqiu’s fiancé, Zhang Xiaoshan.



He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and looked quite decent. He wasn’t short, but he was a little shy, as he blushed when meeting them for the first time.

Zhou Ying followed Madam Qiao and politely greeted the other party. When Madam Qiao invited them into the house, Zhou Ying turned around and went to the kitchen.

It just happened that Mrs. Yao had also finished making tea and went into the room with Mrs. Liu to receive the guests.

Mrs. Sun asked Zhou Ying with a curious look, “Ying, what do you think of that Zhang Xiaoshan?”

Mrs. Guo, Gu Ziqiong, and Gu Chengrui, who were slaughtering the chicken, immediately looked over.

“He doesn’t look bad but blushes a lot,” Zhou Ying replied.

“Blushing? It seems that he’s still an innocent young man. Not bad,” Gu Chengrui quipped.

“Chengrui, what do you mean by innocent?” Gu Chengxi asked in confusion.

“It means he’s still a young man with no experience.”

“Chengrui, don’t lead Chengxi astray. He’s still young,” Mrs. Sun hurriedly reminded him.

“Auntie Sun, what are you saying? Am I a bad person?

“Besides, he’s studying medicine now, so there are some things that he has to be taught. He can’t hide from it.

“I think it’s better to know these things earlier on. If we tell him and let him understand these things now, he won’t be so impulsive in the future.”

“Al-alright, then I’ll leave you to teach him this. Help me look after him,” Mrs. Sun said with a red face.

“What are you guys talking about?” Gu Chengxi was confused by their conversation and asked curiously.

“It’s about things between men and women,” Gu Chengrui looked up and said with a faint smile.

Gu Chengxi’s face immediately turned red like a monkey’s butt when he heard that. He just looked at his older brother blankly and did not know what to say.

“You’re cute. I’ll give you a biology class later.” Gu Chengrui laughed.

“Ahem.” Zhou Ying looked at Gu Ziqiong, who was also blushing like a monkey’s butt. She coughed and quickly changed the topic. “By the way, has second brother’s marriage not been settled yet?”

“No, he’s stuck in limbo, unable to shoot for a high target, and unwilling to settle with a lower-class girl. Even the matchmaker isn’t willing to help him out now.” Mrs. Guo shook her head.

“Maybe it’s not fate yet,” Mrs. Sun replied with a dry smile.

After that, they saw Gu Chengzhi’s son, Gu Jiehao. He was a chubby little boy with the nickname Xiao Jie, and he was stumbling around in the courtyard.

Mrs. Sun turned her head to look at Zhou Ying and asked, “Look at Xiao Jie. He can even walk now. When are you going to have a child?”

“That’s right. You two married just half a year later than the eldest son of our family. You two shouldn’t be too far behind in bearing a child,” Mrs. Guo echoed.

“We’re not in a hurry. Let’s wait until this drought is over.” Gu Chengrui paused for a moment before replying.

He took a deep look at Zhou Ying. Don’t they want it? Of course, they do, and they really want one.
