Chapter 660 Close Eyes
Zhou Gu had no choice but to say, "It's nothing. Every household over there raises ducks, and life is better than in other villages. They need more fertilizer. I haul it for the village every day, and I also haul it to their house. After going back and forth, I got to know her and found that she was not only a difficult person, but also very capable."
Zhou Mi raised an eyebrow, "That's it?"
Zhou Gu said, "That's all. What else can I say? We didn't even say ten sentences to each other. I just thought she was pretty and that we liked each other. Didn't Guoguo say that liking each other was the most important thing? If we were to marry someone we didn't like, we would end up quarreling every day."
Everyone looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo waved his hands and said, "This is none of my business. I'm talking about making friends and doing business, not picking a wife."
No matter what, since someone has taken a fancy to her, this matter can be settled. He is old, so he should be thankful that someone wants him.
After changing the birth date and horoscope, it is time to discuss marriage.
The Zhou family slaughtered a pig and carried it over, and also presented a large number of various cakes and gifts, giving the Wu family enough face.
This shocked the people in Nanshui Village; it was actually true.
The marriage proposal went smoothly. After all, the Zhou family promised to give 40 strings of cash. With the 40 strings of cash added, they could build a big house, and then they would have enough money for their three sons to get married.
Since Zhou Gu was the eldest brother and could not succeed Zhou Xing, the two families agreed that the marriage should take place before the New Year and chose an auspicious day in autumn.
Zhou Guo looked around and it was so lively, but he didn't see any young ladies. He asked Zhou Gu, and he said that they were probably working again.
Relying on her small size, she ran around when there were many people around, and finally found the person in the vegetable garden at the back.
It looks really good. Although a little dark and thin, his features are very delicate. He is not too short and works efficiently.
Zhou Guo stood and watched for a while and felt that this way of working was quite suitable for their family. Except for the old man, no one in the family was not efficient at work.
After looking for a while, the other party seemed to finally notice, raised his head, saw Zhou Guo, and was stunned.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You must be the elder sister of the Wu family. My name is Zhou Guo, and I am Zhou Gu's younger sister."
Wu Ya smiled and said, "Hello, sister. I, I have seen you. I heard your brother mention you. He said you are very powerful."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "My eldest brother said you are also very capable. Let me help you."
As he said this, he was about to go into the vegetable garden.
Wu Ya said hurriedly: "No, no, I can't sit still. Don't dirty your skirt. It's not worth it. I can finish this job in a few seconds."
As he spoke, his hands moved faster.
Zhou Guo took a look and found that she was not slower than her mother at work, and was really very efficient.
Wu Ya was still rummaging in her arms while she was working. She took out a few peanuts and handed them to Zhou Guo, "Eat them."
Zhou Guo saw six peanuts in her hand and took them all without hesitation.
Wu Ya was obviously relieved, and a smile appeared at the corners of her tightly pursed lips.
Zhou Guo talked to her while eating peanuts, but she didn't say much and only spoke one question at a time.
Zhou Guo didn't care either. He talked a lot about the people at home, the house, the fields, the daily routine at home, what to do, and so on.
Although Wu Ya didn't say anything, she kept her ears perked up and listened very attentively.
On the way back, Zhou Gu asked Zhou Guo depressedly, "Why does she smile at you but not at me?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course it's because we are attracted to each other, brother. Maybe Sister Wu Ya likes me more, hahaha."
Li said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about him. You have told her so much, what do you think of this girl?"
Zhou Guo said, "She's pretty good. She works hard and efficiently, has her own ideas and opinions, is steady and stable, and is a good match for my eldest brother. Although she doesn't like to talk much, in a family like that, even a chatty person will become silent. It's not easy for Sister Wu."
Mrs. Li sighed, "Then I'm relieved. You can tell a person's ability better than your mother's. Our family has finally come to where it is now, and we can't ruin the family tradition by marrying a daughter-in-law. We will have a new member in the fall, and maybe even next year."
The news of Zhou Gu's engagement to the Wu family spread quickly, and everyone stamped their feet and lamented, wondering how someone else had gotten there first.
When they found out who this girl was, they were all dumbfounded and couldn't understand.
There are people who say whatever they want in private.
"What do you think the Zhou family was thinking? They picked and chose, and they've picked out the girls from all the villages. There are so many families that are not as good as this one, and there were even some small landlords who came to them. Why did they finally choose a family like this? They have nothing, and the most important thing is that the girl still has to beg for food at the hands of her stepmother. Her father doesn't love her, and her mother doesn't have anything. Most families don't dare to marry her like this."
"Who knows? Didn't the eldest daughter of the Zhou family marry the landlord Zhao a few days ago? I thought Zhou Gu would definitely choose a daughter of a landlord. Why did he choose such a family? Can't our family compare? My daughter is so beautiful, she is also a flower, and there are many people who come to propose marriage!"
Others said that Li was biased and did not find a better father-in-law for Zhou Gu for the sake of her own children. Her eldest brother's family was not prominent, and when the time came for her children to marry a good girl, the benefits would be obvious to everyone.
Even Wang Fugui, Zhou Cheng and others came to visit.
As soon as he arrived, he asked Li, "What happened? Why did you marry into a family like that?"
Li said: "What's wrong with that family? Yes, their biological father and stepmother are not good, but their daughter is good."
Zhou Sanyuan said, "Then tell Zhou Xing about the landowner Zhao's family. Zhou Gu can't be too bad, right? Can't the big landlord talk about the small landlord?"
Li said, "The reason why we chose the Zhao family is because they are suitable. The two children like each other. We have investigated their personalities and found no problems, so we decided to get engaged. As the saying goes, you should raise your head to marry a daughter and lower your head to marry a daughter-in-law. Everyone in our family is satisfied."
As soon as Zhou Guo entered the yard, he saw a group of people, "Uncle, why are you all here? What's going on?"
Seeing Zhou Guo coming back, Zhou Cheng and others looked unnatural.
Wang Fugui didn't hesitate and said it.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? My eldest brother chose her himself. Let me tell you, although my eldest sister-in-law's family is not that good, she has worked hard and is compatible with our family. She is destined to be a member of our family. Everything is based on fate. When fate arrives, it will come naturally."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why he was still talking about karma, like a monk.
A group of people got the news and went back. What else can be said if they like someone?
Zhou Sanyuan's wife said, "How could he be a fool? He picked and chose and chose this person. I think it's all fate. He has a bad fate."
Zhou Sanyuan said: "What are you talking about? They don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they live a rich life. You still say that they have a bad fate. Look at yourself first. How is your fate better than others?"
