Chapter 7 Accident
Materials Section of County Water and Power Bureau.
After eating, Xie Yuanhang was lying on a chair, touching his stomach, looking like he still had something to say.
Gu Errong stood by the bookcase checking information.
Tong County has suffered a severe drought in the past two years and the crop harvest has been very poor. The Water and Power Bureau plans to set up a special project team to divert water from other places.
Gu Errong is responsible for preparing the preliminary feasibility report analysis.
"Hey, Brother Rong, you said your sister-in-law is not married yet, have you met her fiancé?"
"No."
Xie Yuanhang took it He smoothed his hair with his fingers and said narcissistically: "It's definitely not as handsome as me!"
Gu Errong stared at the information, smiled and shook his head.
"Dingling bell..."
Xie Yuanhang sat up straight and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Hello."
"Is it a voyage?" The voice of Gu Errong's mother, Wang Huiying, came out, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, aunt. I'll let Er Rong answer the phone right now."
At this time, phones were still a scarce item, and only half of the households in the village had them.
Previously, when Gu Yunliang and Wang Huiying missed their younger son, they asked their eldest son Gu Ruyi to help them write letters.
But since last year, the weather has been bad and the crops in the fields have been burned to death. The eldest son has taken his daughter-in-law to work elsewhere.
The task of writing the letter was given to Gu Ruyi’s 7-year-old son Gu Yuanyuan.
But Gu Yuanyuan didn't study well. He didn't recognize a few characters in one year of school, and he was even worse at Pinyin. Every time Gu Errong received a letter, it was like reading a book from heaven, and he had no idea what his nephew was talking about.
At the beginning of the year, Gu Errong installed a landline phone at home, but the couple still couldn't bear to call it.
There was no way, Gu Errong had no choice but to call his parents at a fixed time every Friday night to report that he was safe.
My parents took the initiative to call me. This is the second time.
The first call was about getting him engaged.
That was two months ago.
At that time, Gu Yunliang accidentally fell down the mountain while doing farm work and broke his waist.
Both sons are not around, and Wang Huiying has high blood pressure. She works in the fields during the day and takes care of her wife at night, which becomes increasingly difficult for her.
The marriage of their youngest son has always been a heavy burden on the couple's minds.
My son is good-looking and tall, and he also eats from the public family. It is logical that he will be easy to find a partner for.
That's true. The matchmaker almost broke the threshold of their home, but this guy just couldn't get in, and he didn't look like he was in any hurry.
Considering their son's filial piety, the couple decided to use Gu Yunliang's back injury as an excuse to try some trick to get their younger son to get married quickly.
When they raised this matter, Gu Errong spent money to find a nanny at home to take care of his old father without saying a word.
Gu Yunliang made various excuses, such as poor service, not used to it, etc., and forced three or four nannies to leave.
Of course ginger is spicy!
Finally, Wang Huiying took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, saying that the matchmaker this time was her good sister when she was young, absolutely reliable, and how good-looking, virtuous and capable the girls from the Guan family were.
Gu Errong compromised.
In fact, the reason why he has been unwilling to get married is that he has always believed that love is a chance encounter, not a matchmaking.
He doesn’t need to live with anyone.
He wants a vigorous love!
But in the end, he compromised.
Gu Errong put down the information and answered the phone, "Mom."
"Hey, Rong'er. I have something to tell you. You should listen to your mother first. The Guan family wants to change their marriage." Gu Errong frowned.
"They want to marry their eldest daughter over. Who do you think they are? They made good promises at the beginning, but now the days are set, but they have changed their minds..."
Gu Errong's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't listen to what his mother said next.
The eldest daughter?
Isn’t that the girl just now?
When he thought about getting married to that girl, he felt his heart begin to beat rapidly.
"Rong'er? Did you listen to what mom said? What your dad and I mean is that since this is the case, only people from this village will be invited to the banquet, and forget it from other villages."
"Why?"
"Didn't you hear? They want to add 200 yuan as a bride price, and they also require it to be paid the night before the wedding."
"Okay, no problem, I will figure out the money. As for the banquet, before So it is, so it is now."
Wang Huiying was stunned for a moment by Gu Errong's straightforwardness.
But her son didn’t have any objections, which finally made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yuanhang noticed that the corners of this cold and handsome guy's mouth were raised.
"What's wrong? I see you're in a good mood. Is there any big news?"
Gu Errong just smiled and said nothing.
This happened so suddenly that it made him feel like he was dreaming. It was better to be cautious until the dust settled.
He stared at the information, and the cute girl who "ran away" carrying a big cardboard box appeared in front of his eyes.
*
Guan family.
The shuttle bus driver was very nice. After everyone got off the bus, he found a large truck on the street and helped Guan Youshuang pull the furniture to her house.
Guan Youshuang originally wanted to invite the driver into the house for a drink of water, but unexpectedly there was a lot of chaos at home.
Zhang Caihe hit Guan Ruijie with a broom, and the latter covered his buttocks and cried loudly.
Seeing the outsider, Zhang Caihe restrained himself slightly.
They quickly moved the furniture into the yard, and Liang Yuting took the driver away in a sensible manner.
"Sister, eldest sister." Guan Ruijie cried heartbreakingly.
“What’s wrong with this?”
“You’ve been stabbed a thousand times, but you still have the nerve to ask! If you hadn’t given Xiaojie some random ideas, would he have caused this?” Zhang Caihe was angry and took it out on Guan Youshuang.
“What is going on?”
"Say!" Zhang Caihe yelled at his son.
"Sister, I, I accidentally broke Fengfeng's head. He wanted to scratch my hand with a knife. I was too scared so I picked up the stone. I originally wanted to scare him, but I didn't know Why is his head broken?" Guan Ruijie whimpered.
"You did a good job!" Guan Youshuang pulled up his younger brother and wiped his tears, "He promises not to hit you again next time!"
"You didn't wake up. Or is there something wrong with your brain? Are you trying to teach Xiaojie to commit murder and arson? Don’t you know who Fengfeng is? If you do this, will it be our turn to receive relief food in the future?" br>
Guan Youshuang quickly searched her memory, Grandpa Fengfeng? Isn't he the old village chief from before? Does this also deserve the word "identity"?
"Don't you have a hundred yuan? You will pay for Fengfeng's medical expenses." Zhang Caihe said viciously, "After they finish the examination, you will send it to them."
Guan Youshuang lazily walked to the eaves, sat on the steps, pointed at the furniture with her chin, and said, "This is such a coincidence, I have already spent the money."
"You spend a hundred yuan? Finished? What did you buy?" Zhang Caihe looked in disbelief.
“Sofa and large cabinet.”
Zhang Caihe softened her attitude, “It’s rare that you still think about your family. Look, you and Leilei are getting married soon, and your relatives and neighbors are all Come on, I really need some decent furniture at home.”
"Who said I bought this for my family? This is my dowry!"
