Proposing marriage at home

A few days ago, when I saw my grandpa undergoing chemotherapy, his condition was not getting better. Li Xiujun felt like a knife in his heart.

When he came back from Beijing University at the weekend, Li Xiujun brought him a bag of fruit.

"grandfather!"

"Xiujun is back?" Mr. Li recently found a new hobby and was busy tending the flowers and plants on the windowsill every day. He turned around and saw Li Xiujun, and quickly wiped the dust on his hands with a towel.

While taking the fruit bag from Li Xiujun's hand, Mr. Li said angrily: "Why are you buying me something again? There is no shortage of anything at home. How much can I eat as an old man?"

Li Xiujun placed the watering can at the foot of the wall and said with a smile: "Just let me show my filial piety!"

"Girl, not to mention anything else, if you can find a good home, you can show me the greatest filial piety to grandpa!"

Mr. Li poured a cup of hot tea for Li Xiujun and spoke earnestly.

She looked at the steam of tea in the enamel cup and couldn't help but feel worried.

She knew her grandfather's physical condition well, but he was just too afraid that he would die soon, so he rushed herself.

"You have met all the grandsons of the Gu family, which one do you like?"

"grandfather……"

Li Xiujun sighed in embarrassment, but she didn't think about that at all.

Not only had she met those grandsons, but now she knew them better than ever, and she barely revealed Gu Ming's true face!

But asking her to choose one of the three to be her lifelong husband would be more uncomfortable than being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.

"You haven't decided yet? Think about it after you think about it. No matter which one you like, grandpa can make the decision for you."

Mr. Li took Li Xiujun's hand and patted the back of her hand with his warm and generous palm.

"I...I want to marry Gu Qingming!"

"Gu Qingming? The third child of the Gu family?" Mr. Li was stunned and looked at Li Xiujun with trembling eyes.

"Girl, do you know what you are talking about? That third child is seven years older than you! According to seniority, you still have to call him 'third uncle'!"

Mr. Li was naturally confused. He never expected that his granddaughter would choose Gu Qingming, her elder!

"Grandpa, I have thought about it. Several of the grandchildren of the Gu family are too impatient and not as stable and mature as Gu Qingming. If my granddaughter wants to get married, she must marry a good man."

"This..." He then thought about it and realized that what his girl said was quite reasonable.

Gu Ming looked handsome and handsome, but he turned out to be such an irresponsible character. He kept telling lies without taking responsibility. He was not a good match.

The other two, Gu Yao and Gu Liang, one is ignorant and has nothing to do, and the other is sharp-tongued and has a really intolerable temper.

On the other hand, the third child, Gu Qingming, although ten years older than Li Xiujun, is calm, gentle, intelligent and capable. If the girl follows him, at least she will not suffer hardship.

It is not against the rules for one to be unmarried and the other to be unmarried, even if they are one generation older and can bring happiness to Li Xiujun.

"Okay! As long as you like it, grandpa will mention it to your grandpa Gu!"

Mr. Li happily asked Aunt Shen to go to the kitchen to serve the food, and made arrangements for Li Xiujun to eat.

"Grandpa, don't be busy. Just sit down and rest for a while. I'll be there."

Li Xiujun stood up to help and pushed Grandpa down on the sofa to stop him from working.

"My girl has finally chosen a home! Grandpa is so happy!"

When eating, Mr. Li took the vegetables with chopsticks one after another, for fear that Li Xiujun would not be full.

"Thank you, grandpa. You should also eat more. You don't need to pick it up for me. I'll do it myself!"

The old and the young finished dinner happily. Li Xiujun took a simple shower and lay down on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning.

Grandpa was particularly excited today, but he was pounding in his heart.

In her previous life, Gu Qingming was the only good person who treated her as a family member and was willing to seek justice for her tragic death.

In this life, although the young Gu Qingming was somewhat different from the calm demeanor in his impression, he had a good heart and could always maintain a sense of propriety when interacting with her.

But it was precisely because she was a good person that Li Xiujun felt that pulling him to block the knife would delay her happiness.

She vaguely remembered that Gu Qingming never married in his last life because there was someone he had always missed in his heart.

Maybe they didn't get together because of various misunderstandings, but Gu Qingming never married a wife for this woman in his life, which shows his importance and Gu Qingming's infatuation.

She didn't know if Gu Qingming would agree, but she had no other choice after all.

Turning over and looking at the crescent moon outside the window, Li Xiujun sighed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, grandpa asked Aunt Shen to help push the wheelchair, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as pork belly freshly cut from the vegetable market, to the door of the Gu family.

"Brother, are you here so early? Are you bringing these good things to you?"

Mr. Gu came out for morning exercise. As soon as he arrived at the door of the villa, he met Mr. Li who was looking happy. He was very happy.

"I'm here to propose marriage for my girl!"

"Propose marriage?"

When Mr. Gu heard this, he became even more happy. He asked Gu Ming to put the big and small bags in Mr. Li's hands and helped him sit down.

"Tell me, which grandson of ours does Xiujun's kid like?"

Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he moved his seat on the sofa closer to Mr. Li.

Gu Qingming came down from upstairs after hearing the commotion and said hello to Mr. Li with a smile.

Mr. Li smiled mysteriously, looked at Mr. Gu and then at the other two people, but did not speak.

"Don't show off! Gu Ming, that kid, is all looking forward to it!"

Mr. Gu patted Mr. Li on the shoulder and smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

"Xiujun...she has chosen your third child!"

"The third child?"

"Third uncle?"

Mr. Li's words were so shocking that Mr. Gu and Gu Ming asked questions in unison.

Gu Qingming's eyes flickered when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Xiujun, she... chose herself?

Gu Ming's expression immediately changed, and he secretly looked at Gu Qingming with a hint of displeasure.

"Although the third child is not married, he is still a few years older than Xiujun and is the elder. Isn't this... a little inappropriate?" Mr. Gu was in trouble.

Mr. Li waved his hand and said "Hey": "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, but no matter how old she is, it won't be a problem! Not to mention this girl Xiujun..."

"I've identified the third child!"

"What! Ouch, I really didn't expect that. But having said that, the child's thoughts are still important. Xiujun is a good child. Her marrying into the Gu family is our blessing. If she can really marry the third child... it will be a good one. A good thing!”

"But my age is a disadvantage. Our third child is already in his twenties!"

The two old people laughed together, and they were happy to see this good thing happen.

"It's okay, but I have to ask, is the third child willing?" Grandpa Li looked at Gu Qingming, but found that his expression was not as calm as usual.
