Chapter 18 Becoming a Family

Outside the window, there was a gray scene, as if it would rain at any time.

Yuan Shu answered the phone and trotted all the way downstairs.

As soon as I entered the house, a strong aroma of tea came to my nose.

"Gu Chen'an."

Gu Chenan was making kung fu tea, and when he heard it, he responded, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuan Shu came to his side and sat down, holding his chin with both hands, observing a set of gorgeous tea-making movements in his hands.

I forgot what I was going to do.

Yuan Shu asked curiously: "Gu Chen'an, is this black tea?" ”

"Oolong tea." Gu Chenan handed over a cup and put it in front of her, "Try it." ”

Yuan Shu picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

This tea soup is rich in aroma and mellow in taste, and the aroma of tea instantly fills the entire nasal cavity.

"Gu Chen'an, the taste of this tea is so strong!"

"This is a phoenix single fir tree, which is a semi-fermented tea, produced in Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, Guangdong. Because it is close to the East China Sea, the climate is warm, the rain is abundant, the clouds and fog are pervasive all year round, the air is humid, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Therefore, the soil there is fertile and deep, rich in organic matter and a variety of trace elements, which is conducive to the development of tea plants and the formation of tea polyphenols and aromatic substances..."

"Can I have another drink?"

"Absolutely."

Tea, agarwood, rainy days...

It's a feeling that's extremely comfortable.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, quietly enjoying this moment of peace.

Just for a moment.

He Huan walked in quickly.

"Grandpa, grandma, Old Man Gu asked you to go to the main hall, saying that there is something to discuss."

Yuan Shu pointed at himself, "Am I going too?" ”

He Huan nodded: "The elders of the Gu family have all come over, it seems that they want to discuss Gu Ershao's marriage." ”

Yuan Shu frowned puzzled, and looked at Gu Chen'an again, "The elders of the Gu family are discussing Gu Huaien's marriage, why do you want me to go too?" ”

Gu Chenan pursed his lips and smiled, didn't answer her question, just stretched out his hand and motioned to her: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The two of them walked through the corridor to the main hall.

Gu's parents have arrived one after another.

In front of everyone, Gu Chenan led Yuan Shu through the crowd and sat on the pear blossom chair together.

Gu Jinan and Shi Jin had already chatted with those clan relatives, and when they saw the two of them, they waved and continued to chat.

This is the first time Yuan Shu has seen the Gu family, and at this moment, he is like a monkey in the zoo being looked at by everyone, so he is naturally uncomfortable.

Seeing Gu Chenan sitting down, people came over to say hello one after another.

After a greeting, Yuan Shu inexplicably added nephews in their thirties, nieces in their forties, grandsons in their sixties, and nephews in their seventies.

Yuan Shu raised his forehead and sighed lightly: "Gu Chen'an, your generation... You shouldn't have said that you have to go to your relatives for the New Year, right? ”

"I never visit my relatives, they usually come to visit."

“...... Is there a difference?! You are so old, how many red envelopes do I have to prepare?? ”

"If necessary, I'll prepare."

“......” Yuan Shu couldn't help but glance at him, thinking to himself, is this something you can prepare? Money! It's money! How much you have to prepare!

Gu Chenan smiled, he was often away from home over the years, and most of the Chinese New Year was spent in the research institute.

This year's Spring Festival will definitely be a different year.

Because Yuan Shu is here.

Everyone was chatting.

First, Gu Jinchuan's family of three walked in, and everyone nodded in greeting.

Gu Weiwei always looked at Gu Chen'an and Yuan Shu secretly, but he didn't dare to be too obvious.

Their family sat directly opposite Gu Chenan and Yuan Shu, and this was the first time Yuan Shu had seen Xu Ying.

Xu Ying is a painter with elegance in her gestures.

I have to say that Gu Jinchuan's vision is very high.

After a while, Gu Mianmian helped Old Man Gu to walk slowly. There was another old man behind him, who looked dignified and majestic. He was on crutches and was also being supported.

Everyone was quiet and got up to greet them.

Yuan Shu unconsciously wanted to get up, but after looking at Gu Chen'an, he was still sitting upright in his seat.

Is she up or not?!

Just as he was hesitating, the old man came to Gu Chenan and Yuan Shu.

Gu Chenan slowly got up and nodded politely.

The old man glanced at Yuan Shu, "Who is this?" ”

Gu Chenan put one hand on Yuan Shu's waist and introduced, "This is my wife Yuan Shu." ”

Yuan Shu sensed that something was wrong, but still nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Yuan Shu." ”

"Oops! This... Isn't it time to discuss Wynne's marriage? Why is Chen An's marriage so important, no one tells me? The old man questioned as he hammered the floor with his cane, but no one dared to speak.

Only Old Man Gu smiled and said, "My old brother, come and sit down!" I'll explain this to you later. ”

The old man's name is Gu Zhenlin, and he is the cousin of the old man Gu.

This person has a very high status in the family, and in that turbulent era, he kept the roots of the Gu family and led the family to the right path in life.

As the two old men took their seats, everyone returned to their seats.

At the same time, everyone also found out that Qiu Yanling and Gu Huaien, the two mothers and sons, had not yet come, and they were all talking in whispers.

"Brother, your new daughter-in-law is getting more and more unruly." Gu Zhenlin picked up the teacup, blew the hot air, and took a few sips of tea.

I don't know if the words "new daughter-in-law" stimulated Old Man Gu, so angry that he threw the teacup back on the table.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchuan actually defended Qiu Yanling in public.

It's puzzling.

At the same time, he also angered Old Man Gu, slapped his palm on the table, and the lid of the teacup that was not placed firmly fell to the ground like this.

Old Man Gu didn't like Qiu Yanling in the first place, didn't this add fuel to the fire!

Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Mianmian got up and wanted to clean up the debris on the ground, but was stopped by Gu Chenan. Fearing that she would cut her hand, he motioned for her to get a broom.

Yuan Shu sighed softly, what is this called!

However, it is also strange that this situation does not look like it is going to discuss Gu Huaien's marriage.

It wasn't until Qiu Yanling and Gu Huaien came that the mother and son came.

Yuan Shu knew that the theme of today's big family meeting was to change the new head of the family.

Secondly, it is to discuss Gu Huaien's marriage.

Everyone was sitting on their knots, listening to Old Man Gu's speech.

Roughly speaking, it means that when the position of the family should be relinquished, he should retire and let the young people fight.

Old Man Gu cleared his throat: "I have decided to hand over the position of being a family member... Gu Mianmian! ”

“......”

“......”

It seems that everyone didn't expect that this position would be passed to Gu Mianmian.

Even Gu Mianmian herself didn't expect that she wanted to get up and refuse, but was stopped by Gu Jin'an with a look.

There was a lot of talk.

Gu Jinchuan got up and asked, "Dad, why didn't you discuss this matter with us?" ”

Qiu Yanling also got up and echoed.

Old Man Gu said in a deep voice: "Aren't I just convening the Gu family clan relatives to discuss now?" ”

"Are you negotiating? You're announcing! Gu Jinchuan changed color: "I don't agree!" When the position of the family must not let a girl sit, I Gu Jinchuan will not agree! ”

I have to say that as soon as Gu Jinchuan stirred it up like this, the clear water began to become turbid.

Gradually, a few people also spoke up, saying that it was really inappropriate to hand over the position of family to Gu Mianmian as a little girl.

Watch a crowd of people make a fuss.

Gu Zhenlin smiled softly and said slowly: "Gu Jinchuan, what are you?" The old man's face changed, and his sharpness was pressing.

Feeling the oppression, Gu Jinchuan's face changed instantly, and he trembled: "Uncle... Bo Gong... Isn't this for the sake of the Gu family's ancestral business... Anyway, the position of this family member can't be given to Gu Mianmian! ”

"You're suitable!" Gu Zhenlin snorted and put the teacup down. At this moment, no one present dared to speak.

Yuan Shu sighed in his heart, this is a family meeting, this is obviously a war without gunpowder.

This meeting is destined to end unhappily.

But from today on, Gu Mianmian's identity as the head of the Gu family is a sure thing.

Towards the evening, everyone was left by Old Man Gu for dinner, because they had to discuss Gu Huaien's marriage in the evening.

On the way to the restaurant.

Yuan Shu held Gu Chen'an and asked curiously, "Gu Chen'an, how high is your rank at home?" ”

Gu Chenan guessed that she would definitely ask, so he explained: "The Gu family tree is a 24-character generation, the oldest is the Tianzi generation, and the youngest is the Jinzi generation. In my father's generation, it was a reincarnation. The next child born will inherit the first generation. Because the uncle has no son, this generation falls on my father's children. ”

Yuan Shu reasoned and exclaimed, "Then you are from the Tianzi generation?" ”

Gu Chenan nodded: "There will only be one Tianzi generation, and the child who is born again will inherit the second generation." ”

In this way, Yuan Shu understands.

"No wonder I think everyone is respectful when they see you, and they think they all know that you were a prince in your previous life, so they are in awe of you."

...... Gu Chenan couldn't cry or laugh.

However, when the position of the family was passed to Gu Mianmian, I really didn't expect it. But when you look at it, why aren't you surprised at all? ”

"Because I know."

"Why?"

"Grandpa and Uncle talked to me before, because I didn't want to come back, they wanted you to be the head of the family, so I might choose to come back because of you."

"What ?!!" Yuan Shu was shocked, but also speechless: "Their hearts are really big!" It's like a joke! And then? ”

"I helped you refuse."

Yuan Shu gave a thumbs up: "Wise move!" ”

Gu Chenan smiled: "I told my grandfather that Mianmian has been managing the Gu family for the past few years, and no one is more suitable for this position than her." ”

Yuan Shu also felt it.

"At first, Grandpa was apprehensive. Mianmian is very good, there is no doubt about that. But she is a girl after all, and she will definitely face a lot of trouble and difficulties when she sits in this position. ”

"Then how did you convince Grandpa?"

"I said I'd help her."

"Really?"

"Well, but not on the surface. Because of some things, I am not suitable to come forward. ”

Yuan Shu nodded: "Mianmian will face a very difficult period in the future, and she is unprepared to sit in this identity as a family member, she will definitely not be able to sleep tonight." ”

Gu Chenan frowned slightly, Yuan Shu's words were to the point.

If you don't have strong skills, this new family member is not so easy to be.

Next, there will definitely be turmoil within the Gu family, and it is also an excellent time to test Gu Mianmian.

In the restaurant.

Tonight is a feast for the new family.

Because of her status as a new family member, Gu Mianmian naturally sat at the main table.

Obviously she is only a girl in her early twenties, and she is already about to take charge of the family business.

It's not a comfortable job.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and they have no intention of eating, just making a show.

Only Old Man Gu and Gu Zhenlin chatted happily.

"Brother, you don't know how worried I am about this stinky boy. How many girls I looked for for him before, but he didn't see any of them, and I almost thought that I wouldn't see my eldest granddaughter-in-law in my life. Old Man Gu complained slightly, and his tone sounded a little cute, just an old naughty boy.

Gu Zhenlin laughed: "Today's young people all talk about feelings, and if they don't feel it, they won't be together!" You see, when Chen An met Xiao Shu, he felt right, so he just got the certificate. ”

Old Man Gu smiled and sighed again: "Oops! At least have an explanation, or I'll die. He didn't know how to meet his parents. When the time comes, scold me for not paying attention to my grandfather, and I don't pay attention to the matter of the eldest grandson..."

"Grandpa!" Gu Chenan interrupted Old Man Gu's words in a cold voice.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu hurriedly echoed: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense~ You will definitely be healthy." ”

Old Man Gu lowered his eyes and said with a faint smile: "Old man! Birth, old age, sickness and death, look at the open point. ”

“......” Gu Chen'an frowned, although he knew the common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, but he was very unhappy to hear it.

"Ouch! The two of you hurry up and give birth to a few big fat boys, so that your grandfather will have something to do and won't be cranky. Gu Zhenlin deliberately joked, but as a result, Gu Jin'an and his wife, Xu Ying, and some clan relatives echoed one after another, and they all began to join the birth promotion team.

Yuan Shu was the only one left, his face was flushed with shame, and he couldn't wait to find a place to hide.

Gu Chenan was calm, "On this issue, I respect her thoughts. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

All eyes are on the other person.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, didn't he push her out as a shield? ?

In everyone's expectant eyes, Yuan Shu didn't know where the courage came from, so he opened his mouth and responded: "Sheng!" Raw by all means! ”

......
