092: Marriage
Arranged ......
Blind date?
Gu Changsheng's expression froze at this moment, and he felt as if time had frozen. At the same time, a subtle atmosphere also spread here.
Me, when was I scheduled to go on a blind date?
Between such hazy thoughts, Gu Changsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then recalled some memories from earlier.
That must have been more than half a month ago.
Gu Changsheng hadn't crossed over at that time, and the original owner of this body helped out in the Three Fat Family, and at that time, this aunt mentioned this matter half-jokingly......
said that he wanted to give Gu Changsheng a blind date.
The parties concerned didn't care much about this, and they didn't pay attention to it later-if this matter was really conclusive, Gu Changsheng's memory should be quite profound.
Nine times out of ten, both sides were joking, but it was just a lip service.
That......
What must be the situation like this?
Gu Changsheng froze in place and thought for a moment. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, since he couldn't figure it out...... Everyone is here, and they have to find a place to sit.
After all, things are one yard to one yard, and the so-called poor people can't be short-minded. When the guests come, this ceremony is still in place.
Gu Changsheng staggered half a step and gave up his position. A little smile appeared on his face, and at this moment, he bowed slightly to the two figures standing beside his aunt, and opened his mouth to say.
"Come in, two!"
At the front was an old woman with gray hair and a stiff waist. She seemed to be toothless, only half a person tall, and she had to be supported by someone to move around.
Maybe this is the elder on the woman's side?
Gu Changsheng saw it clearly, and without saying a word, he immediately raised his eyelids and swept towards the figure on the side.
I saw that this was a woman with five heads of one meter and five heads.
She was dressed plainly, in a gray plain blue robe, with a pair of decent cloth shoes on her feet, and a square scarf on her head for shading, she was lowering her head slightly at the moment, unable to meet Gu Changsheng.
The two passed by, and by the time Gu Changsheng reacted, all that could be seen was the exposed back of his neck.
Her skin was darker than wheat, but not as rough as a man's. Like the wheat that is swept by the wind under the golden autumn sun, it is full of vitality.
"Blind date......
Gu Changsheng retracted his gaze and sighed lightly. He turned, closed the door, and returned to his room.
This aunt is similar in temperament to Sanfat, and now for Gu Changsheng, she obviously has no concept of life. When he entered the room, he brought a high bench by himself, and urged the two people next to him to sit down.
When I entered the door, the mother-in-law who was walking in front looked around, but her head couldn't stop nodding. It seems that he is quite satisfied with the environment where Gu Changsheng lives.
That's normal.
After all, when 'Gu Changsheng''s biological parents were still there, the old man could be regarded as a figure with a face in the village. The house was built in the early years, and although the parts are aging today, it has been lived in for decades...... But it's not a problem at all.
Now that the house is intact, the old lady naturally has a good impression when she sees it.
"Auntie, take a look, this is our Gu boy's bungalow. He is also a hard-working man, his father and mother suddenly left early, and now he is the only one left to live. ”
The aunt's mouth was fragmented, and when Gu Changsheng moved into the room, she could be regarded as having learned all about Gu Changsheng's situation and packed it all up.
"Oh, it's a poor boy...... too"
The toothless elders sighed, and now when they look at Gu Changsheng, their eyes are full of sympathy - people from rural backgrounds value right and wrong, especially under the feudal background...... This clan concept is even more deep-rooted.
There is a way that a full house of descendants is a blessing, and this is the current situation.
The clan family is vigorous and spreads for a long time, and after a long time, these clan families can be formed one after another, and then form a trend like everyone raising salaries.
For example, the Li family's mansion in Nanyang Village, such a clan scale, is also the goal of many villagers.
Under the cover of such a concept, such a situation as Gu Changsheng'......
It's a bit 'miserable'.
没了爹娘,近亲不存,这意味着顾长生在此地便是无了至亲至近的依靠。
In the rural environment, the livestock are fed, the soil is fertilized...... This is all about needing real human help to be considered good.
Gu Changsheng is indeed extremely strong now.
But if you really think about it, if you let him support the operation of a family alone, it is also a fantasy. And push it deeper, the hardships here...... It is also cold and warm to know itself.
The three fat aunts could think of giving Gu Changsheng a blind date, but after all, they also took such a thing into account.
After all, the husband and wife can't be close anymore, if the two can really work together, then they will 'spread the branches' and then run a prosperous clan or something......
Maybe it's going to be done.
Gu Changsheng's mind was floating at the moment, and he quickly sorted out the logical order here.
He met the old lady's gaze at the moment, so he had to laugh shyly twice, and sat down beside his aunt.
"This, this afterlife...... You haven't eaten yet, have you? ”
Although the old lady looks quite young, she is not yet dizzy. She caught a glimpse of the rough steamed buns on the table, and now her eyes couldn't stop shaking.
After all, this amount ......
It doesn't look like a meal.
The old lady spoke, but her tone slowly deepened. The cloudy eyes trembled, and they were tightly nailed to the pot of steamed buns at the moment.
After hearing such a question, Gu Changsheng also came back to his senses slightly. He was active, and he didn't need to be reminded by others, he opened his mouth and said with a smile.
"yes, I haven't eaten it yet. Thinking that there were guests coming today, I made more. Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and...... Well, girl, eat some too. ”
The mother-in-law and the girl had come from afar, and now it was just around noon...... It stands to reason that they should have never eaten it.
When the third fat aunt heard this, she was still a little embarrassed, but now she was also happy, and she pinched a steamed bun and nibbled it - it was said that it was something made of rough noodles, but in fact, it was a decent thing in this rural realm.
After all, in order to save trouble, plus more satiety, and entrance and other characteristics. Most people grind wild vegetable roots in the flour and boil them on the spot...... In the end, it becomes a bowl that can cope with two mouthfuls of lakes.
Gu Changsheng had tasted that thing, and it naturally didn't taste very good.
Gu Changsheng had no intention of looking at the girl who didn't say a word, but now he was both the master and an invite. He just raised his eyelids and ...... to the woman in front of him
Gaze away.
What caught my eye was a girl with good facial features.
She should not be very old, her face looks ordinary, but her eyes are not small, and her eyebrows are thick and thick, as if they were exaggerated in watercolor.
In this way, it also makes her look a little more energetic. It's just that this girl is now so low-headed, as if she is being pressed by the neck, and she looks extremely cautious.
Gu Changsheng knew that his gaze was too obvious. At the moment, he also took it back, and then said to others with a smile.
"Mother-in-law, aunt, and this girl, you can eat first. There's still hot water in the pot, so I'll make another bowl of dried vegetable soup. ”
After a few polite words, Gu Changsheng turned to the front of the stove, and he was busy again. He heard a commotion from the other side of the table, but listened closely......
It was the aunt who was talking to her mother-in-law, and the girl was like a mute, so she didn't say a word.
When Gu Changsheng walked around to the table with the vegetable soup, the two sides seemed to have reached a consensus-I saw this aunt raise her head and say to Gu Changsheng with a smile.
"Gu boy, I made it clear to this Granny Lin just now. People don't think of you, but you fall in love at a glance! ”
When the mother-in-law heard this, she grinned and smiled at Gu Changsheng.
"Housheng, I look at you, it must be the right eye."
"Young, strong, able to eat and sleep, this is already a skill. What's more, this family is also big, and my Xiaolin follows you, which can be regarded as a blessing, not a loss. ”
老婆婆笑眯眯地抿着馒头,如今看向了顾长生的眼中,满是欢喜的痕迹。
"Xiawuyuan Village is a good place, there are more people than our ten miles, and the place is good, you can live in it, you don't need to relocate......"
Hearing this, although Gu Changsheng nodded with a smile, he had some other thoughts in his heart.
Ten miles.
This place...... He has some images.
It was supposed to be a more remote place than Xiawuyuan Village, and if I guessed correctly, I had to follow the village road inland to a swamp that resembled a mangrove forest, which was the so-called 'Ten Miles'.
The name of the place sounds like a gimmick.
But Gu Changsheng knew that it was a kind of stilted settlement that lived by the water. The form is quite unique, but he has only heard it mentioned before.
According to common sense, these places are not suitable for people to live in. However, because of its special topography, many fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish inhabit it, even if they don't have to work as farmers and live on water drafts, they can directly feed many people.
Therefore, for a long time...... This settlement, called Shilidu, can take shape.
Now that Gu Changsheng thought of these things, he also shifted his attention to the last sentence of this mother-in-law.
There is no need to relocate Xiawuyuan Village......
Will the inhabitants of the ten miles be removed?
Gu Changsheng had such a thought, and before he could think deeply, he saw that this mother-in-law's eyes lowered a little, her lips pursed, and finally said in a low voice.
It's just that...... I don't know if you look down on my family. ”
This statement......
Interesting, isn't that interesting?
It seems that this mother-in-law is also a little worried, Gu Changsheng may not look down on this girl.
The aunt on the side seemed to understand what Gu Changsheng was thinking, but now she didn't have reservations, and opened her mouth to understand.
It turns out that the reason why this girl was able to find Gu Changsheng to come on a 'blind date' is that the twists and turns here can be regarded as embarrassing.
And one of the main reasons for this......
It was half a month ago that Shili encountered an abrupt rainstorm.
The terrain is soft and muddy, similar to the state of the 'mangrove'. It was also a heavy rain, which easily caused the heel of the hanging tower to be washed away, and finally caused the house to collapse.
It stands to reason that the residents of Shilidu, who are accompanied by water, are the most aware of the severity of heavy rain and water. The hanging tower where you live should have reinforcement measures, and you can look at it according to what Gu Changsheng heard......
That heavy rain was an exaggeration.
It washed away half of the hanging towers in ten miles, drowned, washed away, and countless villagers disappeared. And in it...... It includes the parents of this Lin girl.
Yes.
This girl who looks shy and doesn't even dare to raise her head is the same as Gu Changsheng, she is a young man who has no close relatives.
"Miss Lin is miserable, the first generation of the family is single, and there is no reason...... Suddenly, there was a great flood. Now there is a mess over there in Shilidu, and the leader said that he was going to move away, and some said that he was going to stay. ”
"Granny Lin is concerned about her granddaughter, so she has to find a way to send her out to marry as soon as possible, so that she can be relieved."
Speaking of this, Gu Changsheng also understood...... Why did the aunt have to find a way to match her 'this pair'.
Because the situation of the two sides is similar.
Both parties have no parents, and naturally there is less concern in their hearts.
If this Lin girl marries into a good family, she has no mother's family, and she has to swallow her own losses......
Since the mother-in-law said that the little girl was her granddaughter, according to the generation, the relationship between the two parties is actually a little 'raw'.
And the female roll is alone, no matter how it is arranged, it is the most vulnerable party. Therefore, after thinking about it, it is better to find a stable husband who at least looks reliable.
It's good to send her to get married.
On the premise of this, Gu Changsheng's side is also lonely, if the two sides can see each other, it will naturally be a good thing.
Of course, in the context of this era, no one can guarantee whether you will meet a human being or a skinned animal......
There is a way to be a matchmaker's words, a parent's covenant. Such a statement is a kind of rule operation in the context of feudal society.
Young people's marriages are taken care of by relatives and elders, and then through their will, a couple is formed.
This is the trend, and it is also the ethics of the world. Gu Changsheng knew these things, and now he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the aunt beside him.
After all, according to the law of order between the young and the old, the three fat aunts are also his elders. And this blind date is all arranged by her, if she has any other arrangements, she will naturally speak up first, which is the most appropriate.
Of course.
As a party, Gu Changsheng himself also has opinions.
He tightened the fists on both sides of his side and clenched slightly, although his expression remained unchanged at the moment, but his heart had already laid a nail and pressed the thought to death.
Gu Changsheng didn't want to get married right away - what are you kidding? The precarious life on his side may not be careless, and he will have to deal with some strange sect.
With such an environment and such an embarrassment, how could he still think about starting a family?
It is no exaggeration to say that if Gu Changsheng really chooses to get married, it will be delaying others and dragging others into the water.
Not to mention......
He is a modern man who is full of 10%, and his thinking is even more different from the logical view of the current background. It seems that there is such a thing as an arranged marriage, but Gu Changsheng is not interested in it at all.
Let him marry a stranger of the opposite sex...... Even if the other party is a heavenly immortal, it can't be done!
After all, he is not for breeding, how can there be a reason to lose his mind when he sees a beauty?
Gu Changsheng's thoughts kept flipping in his heart, and he heard the aunt next to him laugh twice. She seemed to be about to speak, but at the moment when Gu Changsheng thought about it.
He saw the woman stretch out her hand and slap him twice on the back.
The aunt's hand strength is not small, but now that she is swinging it big, Gu Changsheng, who is shooting, can't help but sit up straight. I saw that the peasant woman with a short figure laughed twice, and then opened her mouth and said.
"Granny Lin, I don't hide it...... Gu boy, he can be regarded as growing up, and when he wore open crotch pants, I was already married. So I know more or less about this kid's temper. ”
"If his parents were still around, of course it wouldn't be my turn to decide. But that's it for now...... The stinky boy has his thoughts too, and I still have to ask him about himself. ”
Speaking of this, the aunt turned her head with a smile and said to Gu Changsheng.
"Gu boy, what do you think?"
Hearing that his aunt had spoken like this, Gu Changsheng's words that he had been holding back suddenly swallowed back. There was a little more surprise on his face, but he quickly relented.
I saw that Gu Changsheng was slightly straight, he opened his mouth, and was about to say something-the girl Lin in front of him suddenly glanced at her head slightly.
Following his gaze, Gu Changsheng saw a long series of tears sliding down her face. This girl......
Still crying just now?
The words that came to his lips suddenly stopped at this moment, and Gu Changsheng choked like this for a moment before he spoke up.
"I think that...... It's a little too eager. ”
Blind date, blind date.
When I saw my face, I was close or not, and I knew whether I was warm or cold. If the Lord has a conclusion, the matter will naturally be settled.
- Gu Changsheng can't look down on the granddaughter of the Lin family.
After saying this, Gu Changsheng took advantage of the fact that the brilliance in the mother-in-law's eyes had not yet dissipated, and now he straightened up, and then shouted loudly.
"Mother-in-law, listen to me first!"
"Since Shilidu is in trouble, you can find my aunt, this relationship is naturally not shallow, it stands to reason that the villagers are in trouble, and I have to help you some."
"So I thought it was like this......"
"Miss Lin will live in my room first, and I will take care of the food. When you settle down there, you can come back to find her and pick up Miss Lin. ”
"What do you think of this?"
