The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yao, is not satisfied with the partners of his younger brothers and sisters. He just thinks they are too naughty and ridiculous. Among the six brothers and sisters in the family, in the eyes of the eldest son, only the second one is reliable, and the others are not reliable.
Messing around in marriage.
The fifth brother, Gu Sheng, made a good start by marrying a girl from the Zhan family for some unknown reason. It was obvious that these two were incompatible, but they just managed to get along with each other. It was ridiculous.
He acted so recklessly, acting without authorization, and led the third brother astray. The third brother married someone at random, and because he saw that the woman was pretty, he married her. After marriage, they were really incompatible, quarreling every day, and the couple broke down and divorced.
The second son is well-behaved and is with the quiet bookstore girl, which makes eldest brother Gu feel most at ease. In the eyes of the old-fashioned eldest brother Gu, the second son's wife is the real model of a good daughter-in-law and a virtuous wife.
As for Zhan Aiping... she is too unreliable. This girl has been unreliable since she was young.
Three years old tells the whole story. Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng... this boy and this girl were both raised by the eldest brother. Elder Gu thinks that they will never get along. Even though they are inseparable now, when they get older, they will become like the rivals they were when they were children.
The fifth brother has a strong personality. He can't stand a woman oppressing him. It would have been fine if he had married a gentle and kind wife, but now it's this guy Zhan Aiping. When the two of them quarrel... the children are the ones who suffer.
Not to mention the fifth brother, now the sixth brother is even more ridiculous. He wants to date Zhan Aiping's younger brother.
"This is nonsense. This is totally nonsense."
Boss Gu felt that except for the second son and himself, everyone else was messing around in choosing a spouse.
"None of the fifth and sixth brothers behave properly."
Qin Ying couldn't help but said, "You are not reliable either!"
As a mother, Qin Ying felt that it was the eldest son who set a bad example. The girl he was raising had a very complicated family, a strange personality, and she never spoke directly, always beating around the bush.
He is very good at pretending in front of the boss, but in front of outsiders, what he says is very annoying and makes people uncomfortable.
The girl always emphasized that she didn't want to marry into their family's class. She spoke in a veiled and sarcastic way, saying how your family is and how our family is... Finally, Qin Ying couldn't stand it anymore.
Never mind, those are just things of the past.
Qin Ying said, "Only the fifth and second brothers have partners now. You two don't. Your sister has a partner now, so don't get involved."
Gu Ze'an and Qin Ying, a married couple, have already accepted their fate. The marriages of their children are not reliable. Instead of divorcing just anyone like the third child, it would be better to find someone familiar and reliable.
The couple felt that Gu Xiangyi and Zhan Mingzhao were a good match, except that he was a little dark. But as a mother-in-law, the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she was. If nothing else, at least Zhan Mingzhao was an honest and obedient child since he was young.
Especially compared to his naughty sister, he is so well behaved and looks very good.
It is difficult to find such a good son-in-law outside, who has a clean family background, is clean, looks good, and knows everyone's background.
They don't ask their daughter to marry someone well. Now they think that it's already very good to find such an honest and reliable man.
They are also taken care of by their elder sister and brother-in-law (brother and sister-in-law).
The more Qin Ying and his wife thought about it, the more they felt that this was a good marriage that would strengthen the relationship between relatives.
However, the couple thought it was a good idea, but their three sons disagreed.
The boss's opinion was: "We can't let them be together. Zhan Xiaodi is not suitable. Let her go to my place next year. I will introduce her to a good cadre."
The eldest brother hopes that his younger sister will marry a government official with a bright and promising future and live a glamorous and respectable life.
The third brother's opinion was: "… You can marry anyone, but don't marry into the Jin family. If brothers and sisters marry each other, what's the big deal if it's publicized?"
The fourth brother's opinion was: "Marriage should not be messed up. Don't let the younger sister end up like the third brother."
Third Brother Gu: “????!!”
Qin Ying washed his hands and said, "The opinions of you brothers are not important. The main thing is our parents’—"
Brother Gu: "An elder brother is like a father."
Gu Laosan: “Second.”
Gu Laosi: "Democracy."
Qin Ying: “…”
Qin Ying didn't want to bother with her three bachelor sons anymore. It didn't matter whether they got married or not. As long as her youngest sister got married, at least three of the six children would have partners, and the other three could do whatever they wanted.
Qin Ying is old now, and she doesn't want to make any more trouble or change another son-in-law. It's good to have a son-in-law who she has watched grow up.
She hoped that these three troublesome sons would not interfere.
Especially the eldest brother, now that he is old, his stubborn and corrupt ideas make him more like an old cadre than his father.
"Is there someone knocking on the door?" Qin Ying heard the knock on the door and her eyes lit up. Could it be that the children came back early
Boss Gu gave the third brother a look. The third brother cursed in his heart, but he subconsciously stood up and went to open the door for the person outside.
"I'm not your secretary. Don't order me around next time."
Boss Gu: "If it wasn't you who opened the door, who else could it be?"
Fourth Brother Gu remained silent and acted like an invisible man.
Gu Laosan glanced at Gu Laosi and swallowed the words that were about to come to his throat.
The third brother touched his thick hair.
When the people outside saw Third Brother Gu, they smiled friendly and said, "Hello, Third Brother. I'm here to look for Xiangyi."
There were a man and a woman standing outside, a young woman and a young man. The woman was Gu Xiangyi's childhood playmate Zhou Yi, and the man with her was her partner.
"What a coincidence! I heard Xiangyi also brought someone home?"
Brother Gu raised his eyebrows: "Who told you that?"
Zhou Yi asked, "Uncle Gu said, is Xiangyi back?"
Brother Gu San said, "He hasn't come back yet, come in and sit down first."
Zhou Yi had a bright smile on her face. She held the hand of the man beside her, and her smile was happy and sweet.
It's so hilarious!
Growing up in the same compound, who doesn't know each other? They are just silly brother and silly sister. Zhan Mingzhao even made a movie, and he got so tanned. A dark and thin boy, he is just an ordinary arts soldier.
But her partner is different, he is an engineer.
Li Hong also had a warm smile on his face. As a young couple, they had been showing off every day recently, and it had become natural for them. However, when they stepped into the gate of Gu's house, they could no longer maintain the smile on their faces.
The eldest Gu sat on the sofa, the fourth Gu sat on the sofa, the third Gu also sat on the sofa and asked them both to sit down.
Zhou Yi could still force a smile on her face, but Li Hong's smile was very forced. Big Brother Gu's aura was too great, and he looked like a big leader at first glance. As for Fourth Brother Gu, he looked even more like a big leader.
He unconsciously became a little cautious.
The three elder brothers sat together and stared at him, which made Li Hong very nervous. His hands trembled while he was drinking tea and he almost dropped the cup.
Zhou Yi: “…”
Li Hong's performance made Zhou Yi feel very embarrassed.
When leaving Gu's house, Zhou Yi despised him: "You are really not presentable."
Li Hong: "Who knew he had so many big brothers in his family? It's scary."
Are you going to sit there and hold a meeting without even a woman or child
Zhou Yi: “…”
She had secretly thought before that Gu Xiangyi might not be able to get married. With so many brothers-in-law, who would dare to marry her
Zhou Yi wanted to show off her boyfriend in front of Gu Xiangyi, but she failed.
Zhou Yi and the other two left the Gu family, and the three brothers of the Gu family discussed:
Gu Laosan: "This man is really petty."
The fourth child: "Too timid."
The eldest: "I think it's great. This kind of personality is suitable for my little sister."
Qin Ying: “…”
Listening to their discussion, Qin Ying felt that it was not easy for Gu Xiangyi to find a partner like Zhan Mingzhao.
*
Zhan Aiping and her group got off the train. This time they didn't ask Qin Ying and the others to pick them up, nor did they inform them in advance, because there were too many people on this trip... If they asked the brothers to pick them up, they would probably scare the younger brothers and sisters to death.
Zhan Mingzhao had already given up at this time. He smiled brightly, attracting the girls in the train station to look at him frequently: "When I see your three brothers, I will treat them as uncles and aunts in the village."
He has a very Ah Q spirit.
He has seen many uncles and aunts in the village.
Gu Xiangyi adjusted his hat and couldn't help but say, "You look so beautiful when you smile!"
Zhan Mingzhao said: "It looks better when I hold a flower in my mouth!"
Gu Xiangyi said, "Wait until you get home and play the harmonica for me."
Zhan Aiping covered her forehead with her hands and walked to the side holding her own sweet and sour pork. Comrade Zhan didn't understand why his own brother could turn into a peacock with its tail spread everywhere.
She said to Gu Sheng: "Let's stay away from them."
Gu Sheng put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "She's dating someone... Wife, we can date someone too."
Little Tangyuan hugged his father's neck: "What about me?"
Guo Bao Rou said seriously: "I am your biological brother, I cannot date you."
Little Tangyuan looked at his brother and asked, "Why can't we date?"
Zhan Aiping: "Because Yuanyuan wants to date someone she likes in the future, and that person cannot be a family member."
A large group of them rushed to the Gu family. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they attracted a lot of people's attention, especially Zhan Mingzhao. Many old men and women on the street couldn't help but look at him.
"Young man, where are you from? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"You are such a pretty young man, do you have a boyfriend?"
Zhan Mingzhao and Gu Xiangyi were surrounded by uncles and aunts. Zhan Aiping and her husband took their child and wanted to return home as soon as possible. It was still too cold outside. Zhan Aiping was afraid of the cold and wanted to stay inside.
The couple and their child walked to the gate of the Gu family. Standing at the door was a man, who was Gu Sheng's elder brother.
Zhan Aiping said, "Brother Gu, are you waiting for us outside?"
Zhan Aiping didn't expect that the eldest brother of the Gu family would be standing at the door waiting for them. She hadn't seen Brother Gu for many years. This older man was becoming more and more like a leader.
"Youyou and Yuanyuan, come on, call me uncle!"
The brother and sister, Guo Bao Rou and Xiao Tang Yuan, were very obedient and called out honestly, "Uncle!"
They took the initiative to go forward and hugged their uncle's legs. When they came out, their uncle told them to stick with their uncle and speak good words for their uncle.
Little Tangyuan took the initiative to act like a spoiled child. She opened her arms and said, "Uncle, hug me!"
Sweet and sour pork was not to be outdone: "Uncle, I want a hug too!"
The two children's extraordinary enthusiasm made the man instantly confused. He looked at Gu Sheng and said:
"Old Five, say something."
Gu Sheng: "Brother, what did you say?"
Gu Laosi: "First, tell me which brother I am."
