Chapter 757: Calling 1 Silly Brother Niu
Chapter 757: Calling 1 Silly Brother Niu
The engagement ceremony was grand and lively.
Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin standing together look like a perfect couple.
Su Chengmin is a popular man in Shengjing. After rejecting Su Shihang's request for marriage, many girls from aristocratic families and officials are curious about who the girl Su Chengmin likes is.
When people heard that it was Valley Peach Blossom, many felt incredible.
Some of the girls from wealthy families who came to watch the ceremony for Su Chengmin had never seen Gu Taohua. They only knew that Gu Taohua grew up in the countryside, and subconsciously felt that Gu Taohua was not worthy of Su Chengmin.
Everyone thought the same as Mrs. Lu, that she was just a vulgar country girl who had come to Su Chengmin when he was down and out, and Su Chengmin had no choice but to get engaged to Gu Taohua in order to repay her kindness.
After seeing Gu Taohua, I realized that I was wrong.
Gu Taohua is in no way inferior to these girls from Shengjing in terms of appearance or temperament.
What was even more surprising was that Su Chengmin himself was very satisfied with this marriage. From the moment he stepped into the Gu family and saw Gu Taohua, the corners of his mouth had never lowered.
Compared with Su Chengmin, the mighty general was so nervous since he entered the Gu family that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
When they met Tong Huaqiong, as the parents of both the boy and girl, they greeted her politely.
With so many people watching, it was difficult for the mighty general to just go about meeting old friends.
Although he was extremely excited from the moment he actually met Tong Huaqiong.
What puzzled him was that Tong Huaqiong did not show any emotional fluctuation towards him, and greeted him in a businesslike manner as if he were Su Chengmin's elder.
He originally thought that Tong Huaqiong was reluctant to mention in front of everyone that they were old acquaintances, but after observing for a long time, he found that Tong Huaqiong really treated him as a representative of the man's relatives and friends.
The mighty general's heart was broken.
"Brother Hanniu, let me take you for a walk in the backyard." said Mrs. Hong.
When Hong was a child, she was saved by a mighty general. The first thing she did when she arrived in Shengjing was to take He Chao to the general's mansion to express her gratitude.
When Tong Huaqiong's daughter was getting engaged to Min Hanniu's nephew, Hong took the initiative to take charge of entertaining the man.
She noticed that the mighty general was distracted and looked around, and soon realized that he was looking for Sister Tong.
So she used the excuse of taking the mighty general to the backyard to bring the mighty general to Tong Huaqiong.
When the mighty general stood in front of her, Tong Huaqiong realized that the mighty general was the childhood sweetheart of the original owner. Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
The mighty general does not look old. If Su Shihang is considered the number one middle-aged handsome man, the mighty general is second.
Perhaps it is the characteristic of his profession, the mighty general is more heroic and extraordinary than Su Shihang. To put it simply, he is an advanced version of Su Chengmin.
The mighty general blushed when Tong Huaqiong looked at him.
"Sister Tong."
As soon as the mighty general opened his mouth, Tong Huaqiong almost got goosebumps.
This childhood sweetheart is obviously thinking about his childhood sweetheart.
But Qingmei has changed her core.
Tong Huaqiong nodded to the mighty general and called him "General" politely.
The mighty general's heart was broken again, and Sister Tong finally became estranged from him.
"General, you want to discuss the wedding date for the two children with me, right? This is a simple matter. We can set it today, exchange the engagement cards, and combine the cards to calculate the wedding date. General, you heard that I kept Gu Taohua for many years, so you thought I would postpone her marriage with Cheng Min?"
"You can rest assured about this. I used to think Taohua was young and unstable, but now that she is old enough to run the household and business on her own, I will not interfere with the wedding date."
Tong Huaqiong didn't know what to say to the mighty general, so she changed the topic to her children's marriage.
The mighty general did not take up the topic.
"Sister Tong, how have you been these years?" Although trying to control himself, the mighty general's tone was still trembling with excitement.
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
She discusses your children's marriage with you, but he wants to reminisce the past with her.
Tong Huaqiong said: "My business is successful, I have many children and grandchildren, and I am living a good life."
These mighty generals saw it all.
These were not what he wanted to ask, and as for what it was, he couldn't explain it clearly.
I want to ask how her life has been after marrying into the Gu family for so many years?
I want to ask if her husband was good to her when he was alive?
I want to ask if she had a hard time after her husband passed away?
But under Tong Huaqiong's calm gaze, the mighty general couldn't ask.
Tong Huaqiong is not Tong Dajiao. In her eyes, the mighty general is just her son-in-law's uncle. She will not place any feelings towards the mighty general.
But the mighty general obviously wanted to rekindle their relationship with her.
General Weiwu has not married for so many years. She knows from the hints in Mrs. Min's words that General Weiwu only has Tong Da Jiao in his heart.
Such affectionate childhood sweethearts are rarely seen even in modern times when monogamy is the norm, let alone in ancient times when men could have three wives and four concubines.
Tong Huaqiong is not the childhood sweetheart of the mighty general. She can be moved by the original owner, but she cannot accept it on behalf of the original owner, and she cannot give the mighty general any illusions.
Some things are better explained clearly.
Tong Huaqiong sighed and called out, "Brother Hanniu."
The call of "Brother Niu" brought the mighty general back to his youth in Heilongtan.
He has no father and she has no mother, but they share the same suffering and have been inseparable since childhood.
Tong Da Jiao always calls him Brother Han Niu, Brother Han Niu.
One year his mother fell ill, and he sold the family's grain to pay for her medical treatment. In order to earn money, he went to the town to work as a helper. Tong Da Jiao would always wait at the intersection and secretly feed him vegetable pancakes. In order to make him eat them more deliciously, she put a lot of oil and chopped green onions in the pancakes without his father's knowledge.
He secretly used the money he saved to buy medicine for his mother and help him take care of her.
Of course, he was also very good to Tong Da Jiao. He used the money he earned from helping her to buy her new clothes and a silver bracelet.
Tong Fusheng was studying, and all the work in the fields and at home fell on Tong Dajiao. The mighty general helped Tong Dajiao farm and filled the Tong family's water tank with water every day.
Tong Da Jiao loves to eat wild jujubes. Every year when the jujubes are ripe, the mighty general will go deep into the mountains to pick the best wild jujubes and give them to Tong Da Jiao.
These memories kept replaying in the mighty general's mind.
Of course, it also came to Tong Huaqiong's mind.
From the perspective of an outsider, Tong Huaqiong felt that the past between the original owner and Min Hanniu was very sad.
But this doesn't mean she has to make up for it.
Min Hanniu didn't know that after Tong Dajiao married into the Gu family, she turned from a bright and elegant pearl into a girl with dead fish eyes.
Mean, vulgar, unreasonable...
What’s strange is that Tong Dajiao has no memory of Min Handiu after he came to Beijing.
I don’t know if Min Hanniu was no longer around at that time, or if Min Hanniu was one of the few lights in Tong Dajiao’s life. The good times of the past faded away, and Tong Dajiao didn’t dare to face her childhood sweetheart, so she stopped seeing Min Hanniu.
Tong Huaqiong looked directly at Min Hanniu and said calmly, "I have lived a good life for so many years. I have forgotten many things in the past. In the countryside, it takes all my energy just to have enough food. Thanks to God, I have built a business and raised my children. Now, for me, as long as my business continues to grow and my children are filial and promising, I will be satisfied and don't think about anything else."
This means cutting off emotional ties with the mighty general.
The mighty general naturally felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
