Facing the eldest son's questioning, Gu's smile was a little bitter.

"This matter, it was just a verbal promise between your father and your Uncle Wangsheng, they hadn't gotten married at that time, your father fell out with the old Zhao family, and went to the county alone, it was raining heavily that day, the road was muddy and difficult to walk, it was Wangsheng who sent him to the town, and your father said such a sentence after being grateful."

"Later, they married wives and had children, and there were many things, no one mentioned this matter again, and then the old Tao family gave Da Lan to the old Ge family, and our family was also excluded in the village, your father saw that people didn't have the intention of marrying at all, and they didn't want to embarrass others, so they didn't mention it until he died."

"Your father doesn't want to mention this, I am a widow and I can't fill your stomach, where do you have the heart to plan anything else? Naturally, I didn't take that verbal promise seriously, but I didn't expect those troubled people in the village to take this thing out to chew, it's really idle! ”

After Gu Shi said so much, he found that his eldest son was sitting at the mouth of the stove with a fluted appearance.

"Nanxing, what's wrong with you? What are you wondering about? ”

Gu couldn't help but ask again.

But I was a little apprehensive in my heart, the four girls are so good, if the eldest son is really moved by this promise, what can be done?

She didn't understand the eldest son's thoughts, but she really saw the younger son's thoughts.

"Nanxing?" Gu Shi called tentatively again.

Gu Nanxing came back to his senses.

"Mother, I've thought about it." He raised his head and said with a serious expression.

"What? What have you figured out? Gu asked.

Gu Beichen, who was outside the house, also frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

I only heard Gu Nanxing Zheng Zheng say: "A manly husband must be responsible, since my father made a promise to Uncle Wangsheng at the beginning, then he must fulfill it, and he must be true to his word, otherwise how can he stand in this world?" ”

"Nanxing, what do you mean ......"

"I think I'm busy for a while, and when the late rice seedlings are planted, I will prepare gifts and go to Uncle Wangsheng's house to propose marriage."

"Ah......h

"Only by bringing this matter to the surface, it will be much more justifiable for the Sixi girls to come and go to our house in the future, and the people in the village will no longer be able to chew their tongues behind their backs."

"Mother, why don't you speak? Are you worried about the bride price? ”

Seeing that Gu didn't say a word, just looked straight at himself, Gu Nanxing grinned, and said: "Don't worry about the bride price, I don't have to go to the younger brother to transfer money, I have saved a few taels of silver over the years, and I can afford the bride price, and I won't let the Sixi sister be wronged!" ”

Gu finally came back to his senses.

She looked at Gu Nanxing and muttered, "Nanxing, you tell your mother honestly, are you serious?" ”

Gu Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Mother, you are confused, marriage is a lifelong matter, how can I joke about it?" ”

Gu was speechless.

Gu Nanxing was at the moment of excitement, and was about to discuss the marriage proposal with the Gu family again, when Gu Beichen suddenly appeared at the door of the stove room.

"Brother, if you want to propose marriage to the fourth girl, I don't object, but before that, please answer me a question truthfully."

Gu Nanxing was quite surprised by Gu Beichen's appearance.

When did my brother come here? Quietly, he didn't even notice it.

Did my mother notice it?

Gu Nanxing glanced at Gu and found that Gu's face was a tangle he had never seen before.

Mother, what's going on? What's weird today? Shouldn't she be happy when she heard that her son was going to propose?
