Gu Qingyao raised her head and looked at Gu Yunshen. "Father, do you want to ask me what kind of job I want to do?"
Gu Yunshen was speechless.
Yaoyao did not catch up with the good times. She was a girl from the countryside. After school stopped, she could not go to school. She had no qualifications and could not find a job. She was not young, but she was not old either. She could not do anything.
No one knew when this dark era would end. What could Yaoyao do in the future?
As for Mo Beihan, they all knew what he was like. Even Yaoyao knew a little about him. The two families had always gotten along well …
Gu Yunshen took a deep breath and did not hesitate anymore. He said to Gu Qingyao, "Yaoyao, you've grown up. You can get married in two years. If you were to get engaged to Beihan now, would you be willing?"
Gu Qingyao actually wanted to say yes.
But she knew that it was not good to say it directly. Her father would probably be unhappy. He might even think that she was too young and immature.
She said, "Father, Brother Beihan treats me very well and is familiar with our family. You all watched me grow up. Marriage is very important for a girl. I only know that if I were to marry Brother Beihan, I would not be afraid or worried at all. But if I were to marry someone else, I would not be willing at all."
Gu Qingyao raised her head. "I'm only sixteen. Father, why are you telling me this? There are also girls in the brigade who are about my age who are getting married. But it's not too late to get married in two years. "
Gu Yunshen sighed again. He understood what Gu Qingyao meant.
Actually, as parents, they all hoped that their daughter could marry someone who was good to her and knew her well. Mo Beihan completely met his requirements.
"Your Auntie Jiang came to talk to your grandmother. She asked if we were willing to let you get engaged to Beihan first and get married in two years when you're of age. If we can't bear to, they can wait for another two years."
"Father, what do you think?" Gu Qingyao asked.
"Beihan's father has no objections, but … I can't bear to part with you!"
Gu Qingyao smiled. "Dad, even if I'm married, I'm still your daughter. Besides, the Mo family is not far from our house. I can come back anytime!"
"And it's just an engagement, not a marriage. You don't have to worry, I'll still be at home."
Gu Yunshen: "…"
Don't you feel even the slightest bit reluctant to part with your father?
Gu Yunshen was deeply resentful!
Lunch was very sumptuous. There was a large plate of red braised pork, which Gu Jinlin found rare.
He cooked a fish and boiled a large pot of bone soup. It was milky white and looked delicious.
It was New Year's Day, and they definitely had to drink. Gu Qingyao specially made some boiled peanuts for everyone to drink with.
He fried a portion of braised chicken, a portion of sour and spicy shredded potatoes, a portion of green pepper eggs, and a portion of wild mushrooms.
There was more red braised pork. Gu Qingyao scooped a large soup bowl and filled a large pot with bone soup. She asked Gu Jinlin to send it to the old men and women who had been demoted. They were all her teachers!
There were also peanuts, which were more precious. Gu Qingyao had specially given them peanuts, so they would not be easily discovered if they ate them directly.
In addition, she gave them some wine.
Those old men and women were very particular people. They should like these things.
When Gu Jinlin returned, everyone started to eat.
Gu Jinlin was a big eater. He felt that his younger sister's cooking was very delicious. The same ingredients would not taste as good in other people's hands.
After eating for so many days, he was a little worried. How would he live when he returned?
