225 Chapter 225 Engagement (1)

Youre too kind, Grandma. Its just a win-win situation. However, it seems things arent looking good this year, and well have to find a way to store more food.

Thats true. Weve 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 dont have enough food to eat, just come and take some; we have plenty at home.

Sure, I wont 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 grooms 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 didnt even need to guess to know that the young man was Gu Ziqius fianc, Zhang Xiaoshan.

He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and looked quite decent. He wasnt 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 doesnt look bad but blushes a lot, Zhou Ying replied.

Blus.h.i.+ng? It seems that hes still an innocent young man. Not bad, Gu Chengrui quipped.

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

It means hes still a young man with no experience.

Chengrui, dont lead Chengxi astray. Hes still young, Mrs. Sun hurriedly reminded him.

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

Besides, hes studying medicine now, so there are some things that he has to be taught. He cant hide from it.

I think its better to know these things earlier on. If we tell him and let him understand these things now, he wont be so impulsive in the future.

Al-alright, then Ill 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.

Its about things between men and women, Gu Chengrui looked up and said with a faint smile.

Gu Chengxis face immediately turned red like a monkeys b.u.t.t when he heard that. He just looked at his older brother blankly and did not know what to say.

Youre cute. Ill give you a biology cla.s.s later. Gu Chengrui laughed.

Ahem. Zhou Ying looked at Gu Ziqiong, who was also blus.h.i.+ng like a monkeys b.u.t.t. She coughed and quickly changed the topic. By the way, has second brothers marriage not been settled yet?

No, hes stuck in limbo, unable to shoot for a high target, and unwilling to settle with a lower-cla.s.s girl. Even the matchmaker isnt willing to help him out now. Mrs. Guo shook her head.

Maybe its not fate yet, Mrs. Sun replied with a dry smile.

After that, they saw Gu Chengzhis 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?

Thats right. You two married just half a year later than the eldest son of our family. You two shouldnt be too far behind in bearing a child, Mrs. Guo echoed.

Were not in a hurry. Lets wait until this drought is over. Gu Chengrui paused for a moment before replying.

He took a deep look at Zhou Ying. Dont they want it? Of course, they do, and they really want one.
