“I have a pretty good impression of that kid.”
Qi Yuefeng had always been especially fond of He Niancheng and had never felt any contradictions towards him.
But Gu Qingjiu was surprised with her mother’s thinking. “But you guys don’t even know where Helian Niancheng’s family is from, right?”
“It will do so long as you’re aware. Surely I’m not worried about you getting duped? You’re in the military now!”
Qi Yuefeng, who wasn’t at all worried, said with an emotional sigh, “Actually, Mom had long felt something amiss between you and Niancheng. But as you know, ever since your brother went overseas and with you in military school, and might even stay at the capital or allocated elsewhere, it’s good that you’re married. Your brother discussed marriage with Qin Wange a few years ago, but I don’t know what’s going on between the two of them now. I no longer pin any hopes on him. At least now that you’re getting married first, I have hopes of carrying a grandchild.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Gu Hong walked out of his room and appeared displeased with what he heard. With a dark countenance, he lectured Qi Yuefeng, something he rarely did. “Are you listening to yourself? She’s only 22, and as her mother, you don’t even care that she got married and didn’t tell her family about it. You’re too obsessed with the idea of carrying a grandchild!”
“Yes, you are right! I truly am!”
Qi Yuefeng rolled her eyes at Gu Hong. “With our son and daughter not around, us two will be lonely without a grandchild. Other than cooking for you every day, all I do is chat with the old ladies in our housing estate. They, at least, have a grandchild to carry, whereas I have nothing. How can I not feel sad?”
“Moreover, Niancheng is a good kid. He’s also filial and even rescued you back then. Furthermore, he has outstanding qualities. What are you unsatisfied with?
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
To think her dad had said something like this!
Gu Qingjiu looked towards Gu Hong with an accusing look.
Gu Hong: “…”
His old face turned red, and he coughed into the back of his hand while staying with a stern look, putting on the demeanor he had when lecturing his subordinates at work. “Don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense. He didn’t even come to our house to propose marriage and simply married you like that? I disagree!”
Gu Qingjiu, however, replied happily, “No, Chief Instructor said he would come to propose marriage in a few days. In any case, we’ve already registered our marriage, and it’s not like he can run away.”
Gu Hong: “…”
He felt his heart choke up.
He Niancheng likely had the same thoughts as his silly daughter.
He waved a hand. “Forget it. I’ll wash my hands off of you. A grown girl can’t be kept at home. I think you will be able to fly if you install a pair of wings.”
Gu Hong looked quite greatly angered and refused to speak with Gu Qingjiu anymore. He walked over to watch tv with Gu Xiaoxi.
Qi Yuefeng, on the other hand, appeared quite happy. “Your dad was worried you would get married quickly. In the end, you really did end up getting married so early. But it’s indeed inappropriate for you to hide your marriage from your dad and me. Though, Mom doesn’t blame you, so long as you know what you are doing. Are you back to tell us about this matter?”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yeah. Chief Instructor said the wedding would be held in October, so he asked me to come back and discuss some details of the wedding with you and Dad, such as which guests we’ll be inviting. When the time comes, we’ll fetch them all to Penalan.”
“Penalan?”
Qi Yuefeng and the rest had known that Helian Niancheng was from Penalan, so she wasn’t surprised, only worried.
“You must have met his parents long ago. Do they treat you well?”
Although Qi Yuefeng desired a grandchild, she had to find out about certain things.
Gu Qingjiu thought for a moment, then chose to speak about it in a reserved manner. “His family treats me quite well. It’s just their identity…”
“What’s wrong with their identity?”
