Chapter 56 When will we get married? Talk to my uncle
"Yes, Lingxi calls me Fourth Brother."

Gu Si nodded seriously, and while he was talking, he had already lit a few torches on the campfire in the middle of the cave and inserted them on the walls of the cave for lighting.

The smile in his eyes was not obvious in the dim light of the cave.

Pei Yanning didn't know that this fourth brother was not that fourth brother.

He confirmed that the person in front of him was his own nephew, and his usually tense nerves relaxed a lot.

He carried the silly roe deer to the stone table and put it down. He felt around his body and found a handful of golden peanuts mixed with two candies. He paused, glanced at the remaining candies, and finally handed them all to Gu Si.

"Here, this is a gift from your uncle."

Gu Si saw Pei Yanning's reluctance: "..."

To be honest, he made this candy!
Look, this poor thing.

Gu Si's eyes fell on the small backpack filled with chestnuts. He made up his mind, then he took them and thanked him.

Pei Yanning was instantly happy again. He liked this kind of generous youngster.

He carried the silly roe deer and walked to the kitchen as if he knew the way there. He asked, "I'll make something to eat. Do you want a midnight snack, little Sizi?"

Gu Si just ate simply.

He followed her in and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Pei Yanning nodded: "I just finished my work and was eating dry food. I don't want to eat dry food. I'm tired of it, and I don't want to eat barbecue. I'm thinking of coming here to cook a small meal."

Gu Si understood.

He found out that Pei Yanning was not in a hurry to go back tonight, so he found him a set of clean clothes and told him to go wash up. Gu Si took over the kitchen work himself.

Pei Yanning came back from washing up and changed into a set of clothes that Gu Si had never worn before. He looked refreshed.

He leaned lazily on the chaise longue, watching his nephew kneading dough and pulling noodles. He smiled with eyes similar to Lingxi's, feeling warm in his heart.

He sighed and said, "It's still more comfortable here. You should have told me earlier. If I knew this was your territory, I wouldn't have dared to use anything other than the stone table and stone chairs."

It’s okay to just wash the pots, pans, and utensils.

There were only stone tables and stone chairs, which he used because they were originally there in the cave and he would not be disliked by others if he sat on them.

He was embarrassed to touch personal things like beds and couches.

Of course, he was also a little...

awkward.

But, it’s different if it’s from your own family!

Gu Si: “…”

You are quite particular!
Pei Yanning continued: "I will be moving to a new place tomorrow, and I don't know when I will come back here! I have wasted so much time in vain..."

The tomb robbers they caught last night left behind some things, so he and Lao Hei have to go and take a look. It will definitely take them at least ten days or half a month to go.

Gu Si was stunned: "Leaving tomorrow? Are you in such a hurry? Lingxi doesn't know yet..."

Now it is confirmed that this is the person Lingxi has been looking for, but they have not yet met or recognized each other properly!

"Lingxi, don't tell her for now."

"By the end of this year, I will try to go back by the end of the year. Then, I will coax her in person."

He was not sure whether he could go back or not. He was worried that Lingxi would wait in vain again. Thinking of that year when Lingxi was so angry that she didn't even call him dad, he was still frightened. The situation had finally eased over the past two years, and he didn't want it to go back to the time before liberation.

Gu Si: “…”

Pei Yanning had a comfortable meal here. Gu Si even gave up half of his bed. Pei Yanning slept soundly in this desolate mountain area, which was a rare occasion.

When he woke up, the whole cave was filled with the smell of smoke. Pei Yanning felt completely relaxed and refreshed.

Pei Yanning saw Gu Si in the kitchen, making soup, pancakes and cooking. He was leaning on the stone table, his eyes becoming increasingly gentle, only his tone was still a little lazy.

"Little Sizi, you are not a kid anymore, are you going to get married soon? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Si: “…”

He froze for a moment, his back turned to Pei Yanning so that he wouldn't notice anything was wrong, but his tone was steady. "Yes, we're getting married soon."

Pei Yanning stood in a different position, looking more energetic. He was a little curious: "You are getting married soon, when are you going to get married? Talk to your uncle, and he will give you a big red envelope.

Well, if my uncle is still in the mountains, maybe we can have a drink at the wedding!"

Gu Si: “…”

!!!

Ok!

He suppressed his laughter and nodded: "This year, we will get married in the autumn.

We will definitely be happy if you are coming home!
Lingxi misses you too!"

Pei Yanning felt uncomfortable because he kept calling her "you" all the time, and always felt something was strange.

Pei Yanning spoke frankly: "Speak nicely, you are being so sarcastic, and you even called me old."

Gu Si: “…”

!!!

Fine!

Isn't he just thinking about being respectful to his father-in-law?

He coughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle."

Pei Yanning was satisfied. He picked up a sugar-roasted chestnut on the stone table, peeled it and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and soft, very much to his taste.

"You fried it! It's still hot."

Gu Si hummed: "Lingxi picked up a lot yesterday. There is a small basket here. I want to fry some for my uncle to take with him."

It was actually picked up by Lingxi!

Pei Yanning was even happier.

He looked at Gu Si with admiration, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

Gu Si: “…”

This is great, keep it up.
-
Gu Si returned home with a backpack full of burrs that were still covered with dew, just as the Gu family was about to go to work and Gu Qingnan had not yet left for the city.

He poured the contents of the backpack directly in front of his stepmother Wang Dongni, said hello and went to Gu Qingnan's house.

Wang Dongni looked at a pile of chestnuts and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

Needless to say, this good thing must have been given by the old Gu family!
There are not many chestnuts in the mountains or outside. Even if there are one or two chestnuts, they will be knocked down and roasted by children before they are ripe. How could they wait until now?
This is such a good marriage!

She chanted "Amitabha" for a while, called her granddaughters to help her peel chestnuts.

Gu Si didn't care about what was happening outside. Gu Qingnan was just an excuse he made up last night, but he didn't intend to just ignore it.

Gu Qingnan is packing things in the house!
He was stunned for a moment when his younger brother suddenly came in, but he was still very happy. He listened to this unfortunate younger brother, who went straight to the point without even saying a word of greeting and asked him what he thought of the girl.

Gu Qingnan: “…”

So direct?

What could he think?
Gu Qingnan recalled the day when he met Pei Fuzhu on the way to pay his taxes. His face turned a little red and he looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Si had a bad feeling in his heart.

Gu Qingnan has already spoken: "The girl is pretty, her family is well-off, and her brothers are capable, but..."

Gu Si: “…”

!!!

There is no such thing as being blinded by lust, and there is even a but!
