Chapter 155 My Sweetheart Doesn’t Plan to Get Married
After the last drunken incident, it was impossible for Gu Jiandong to drink. Shen Shuyu saw that he was holding the bowl, so she went back to the house and came out with a bottle of orange-flavored soda.
"Gu Jiandong, drink this."
Shen Shuyu bought the soda at the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought several bottles and placed them in the space so she could take them out and drink whenever she wanted.
There are a lot of good things in Shen Shuyu's room, and Zhang Cuicui and the others didn't think it was a big deal that she could only take out a bottle of soda.
No one else had soda to drink, only he had it. Gu Jiandong no longer wanted to drink the wine. He easily opened the bottle cap, happily drank the soda, and smiled brightly at Shen Shuyu from time to time.
Jiang Ziqiang and Old Man Shen were drinking, and their eyes were always on their good brothers, with a look like that of an old father looking at his son.
Shen Shuyu also understood this look. Good brothers all want to be each other's father.
Jiang Ziqiang: His brother has become so cute that he wants to take him back to the army to raise him.
Gu Jiandong was so happy drinking the balloon that he didn't notice how hot Jiang Ziqiang's eyes were when he was looking at him.
This time, Old Man Shen held the jug while drinking, for fear that if he wasn't paying attention, Jiandong would secretly take his bottle away.
After drinking his wine, nothing happened. But this kid can't drink at all. He falls asleep as soon as he drinks and complains of a headache the next day. We can't let him drink anymore.
There were so many people in the family eating, and the dishes cooked by Old Lady Shen were very generous in portion and fried with oil.
Zhang Cuicui and her friends enjoyed the meal so much. As they were the head of the household, they would never use oil to cook. They basically just boiled the food with water and added some salt after it was cooked. It didn't matter whether it tasted good or not, the important thing was that it could fill their stomachs.
Normally they eat plain soup, but today they are very hungry.
Old Lady Shen had warned her daughter-in-law not to look too ugly when eating, but Liu Pandi pretended to be polite while eating, taking small bites the whole time, and not picking up the food randomly.
She pretended like this, but Uncle Shen's eyes widened. Is this still his wife who ate with bloody mouths? Could she be possessed by something?
If he hadn't been busy drinking, Uncle Shen would have wanted to ask Bai Luobo to borrow some melodrama to throw on Liu Pandi.
Liu Pandi, who was eating in a gentle and gentle manner, asked: Are you polite?
Several old men were drinking and talking about this year's harvest. Jiang Ziqiang was a talkative person, and he could also follow up on the topics that Old Man Shen and the others were talking about.
We talked about the harvest, and then about interesting things in the army. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very relaxed.
After eating, Gu Jiandong wanted to go out and play, and didn't even bother to pay attention to Jiang Ziqiang.
Jiang Ziqiang drove a long way here. After eating and chatting with Old Man Shen and the others for a while, he felt sleepy.
"Ziqiang, I'm sleepy. Go lie down in Jiandong's room."
Jiang Ziqiang really couldn't bear it anymore, "Grandma Shen, Grandpa Shen, I'm going to go to the room and sleep for a while."
"Go, go, get some sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner."
Old Mrs. Shen didn't let her grandson get much wine. Old Man Shen and the others each drank a bowl of wine and the bottle was almost empty. After they finished the wine and the food, they were full and satisfied, and when it was time to go to work, they all went out.
During this period, everyone has been busy working and the crops in the fields have been harvested.
The next step is to dry the crops, weigh them, and pay the taxes.
The work isn't too busy, but it does keep you busy. Just the step of drying the grain requires extra care.
It is said that farmers depend on God for their livelihood, and this is true.
Even an experienced old man cannot figure out God's face.
The sky above my head often changes suddenly. It was clear one second and then covered with dark clouds and heavy raindrops fell down the next.
If one doesn't pay attention to the sky, everyone's hard work for a year will be in vain.
Therefore, no one dared to relax before the grain was collected and stored in the warehouse.
They were all busy working in the threshing ground, and they would look up at the sky from time to time. If there was anything wrong with the clouds in the sky, everyone would start harvesting the crops. They were not afraid of being tired, but they were afraid that the crops they had grown with so much effort would be soaked by rain.
After Shen Shuyu had eaten, she and Old Lady Shen came to the threshing ground. She had nothing to do, mainly because she wanted to work. Old Lady Shen didn't want her grandson to work. Shen Shuyu found a corner in the threshing ground and sat down.
Old Lady Shen was chatting with her old sisters. During the chat, another old lady brought the topic to Shen Shuyu, "Guifang, your eldest granddaughter is already 17 years old, why haven't you and your old man arranged a date for Shuyu?
This girl has to get married early. If she is still unmarried after 18, she will become an old maid.
There won’t be that many choices then. All the good guys will be picked up by other families, and the remaining old bachelors may not be favored by Shu Yu.”
Shen Shuyu is still unmarried at this age, but many people have been talking about this to Old Lady Shen. Some of the unpleasant words were choked back by Old Lady Shen.
The lady who said this now was Aunt Chen, the old sister of Old Lady Shen. Aunt Chen was really thinking about Shen Shuyu. If she wasn't in a hurry at this age, when she became an old maid, it would be her old sister who would be anxious and angry, so she said a few more words.
Old Lady Shen patted her thigh and laughed, "My dear is only 17, not 71, why should I be so anxious?
With my good condition, even if I get married at the age of 37, there will be people rushing to marry me.
Besides, my sweet girl doesn’t plan to get married, so my old man and I plan to find a son-in-law for her…”
As soon as the word of recruiting a son-in-law came out, the people around were excited and talking about it.
"Guifang, what did you say? Recruiting...recruiting a son-in-law?"
"It seems that what Guifang just said was to find a husband for Shuyu."
"Hey, Guifang, you're not kidding, are you? Are you really going to find a husband for Shuyu?"
"Why would an old woman like me coax you? My dearest child is the only one in my family. She is the granddaughter that my old man and I love so much. We can't bear to let her marry and become a nanny for another family.
Find a husband for my sweetheart. Not only will my sweetheart not have to marry into another family and suffer injustice, but it will also leave a root for my fourth child."
Everyone thought that Old Lady Shen had been slow to arrange a match for her granddaughter because she loved her too much and didn't want her to get married so early.
After all this time, they have no intention of marrying off their granddaughter. This is not just loving their granddaughter too much, this is simply loving her to the core of their hearts. They really can't bear to see their granddaughter suffer any grievance.
Look, they are afraid that their eldest granddaughter will be bullied by her husband's family after she gets married, so they simply don't let her get married and directly recruit a son-in-law.
The old couple of the Shen family are really the ones who love their granddaughter the most in the whole village. I have never seen anyone love their granddaughter so much.
"Gui Fen, we know that you love Shu Yu. Even if you love her, you can't stop your eldest granddaughter from getting married. There is no girl who doesn't want to get married. It's not that easy to find a husband."
"What are you talking about? They are my grandparents. How can they harm Shu Yu?"
"That's right. If you ask me, Miss Shuyu should find a husband."
