This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 277 Qi Panqiu and Chen Aiguo discuss their child's engagement

Accompanied by the faint scent of soap, Guo Junyue fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Shuning gently pushed open Chen Jiawang's door. Chen Xue waved and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Shuning, were those two people just now Comrade Guo Junshan's family members?"

Chen Shuning nodded and replied, "Yes, that's Brother Guo's mother and sister."

Zhao Fengping laughed and teased, "Shuning, what are they doing here? Aren't they here to propose marriage?"

"Tsk..." Yang Fengxia whispered, "Fengping, don't speak so loudly. They can hear you in the next room."

Shu Ning sat down at the table and said softly, "Aunt, please stop teasing me."

Chen Xue worked briskly, her fingers moving quickly as she finished the hairpins and placed them in a cardboard box. She smiled and said, "In my opinion, you and Guo Junshan are a good match.

Comrade Guo Junshan is a native of Beijing and has a formal job. Most importantly, he treats you well. I can tell he cares about you very much.

Shyness crept up Chen Shuning's cheeks, and she said shyly: "Well, Brother Guo is very good. But it's not as outrageous as you think.

My grandfather and Big Brother Guo's grandfather were comrades in arms. They came to visit my grandfather on behalf of their elders. My second brother and I are going to Beijing to attend university, so we can go together and have someone to look after us on the way."

In the main room, Qi Panqiu was talking about Guo Junshan and Chen Shuning.

"Brother, sister-in-law, our family wants the two children to get engaged first. We can put the marriage on hold. Shuning needs to go to school, and our unit in Junshan needs to raise funds to build a house, but the house hasn't been allocated yet. What do you think?"

Chen Aiguo and Liu Xianghua exchanged a glance. Liu Xianghua nodded slightly, and Chen Aiguo slowly spoke, "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. However, there's no need to make a big deal about the engagement. It's enough for both our families to know about it."

The two families are far apart, so there's no need to travel back and forth. I'll prepare a banquet tomorrow, and you'll represent Junshan, so we can just have a good time."

Chen Feng took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Si Min and I have known each other for most of our lives. I trust you. We don't want to affect Shuning. Rumors are not pleasant."

"Uncle, I understand your thoughts." Qi Panqiu said in a sincere tone: "The countryside is not as open as the city. If the news of my child's engagement spreads, there will definitely be gossip.

I respect your decision and will simply hold the ceremony in Chenjia Village. When I return to Beijing, I will gather our relatives and friends there and formally introduce Shu Ning to them.

Before coming here, I asked Junshan what he thought. Right now, Shuning should focus on his studies. To be honest, Professor Zhang Jiguang lives next door to me, and he values Shuning and Jiawang very much.

Chen Aiguo nodded and replied, "Sister-in-law, you're talking about the professor who called me and advised me to let my child apply to Tsinghua University, right?"

Qi Panqiu nodded and replied, "Brother, that's him. Professor Zhang is very experienced and has made great achievements in scientific research. I heard that he just applied for a new project, and the country attaches great importance to it."

"Shuning and Jiawang have received his recognition, and their future is limitless. We can't bear to let Shuning miss such a good opportunity."

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Is Professor Zhang so amazing? Oh, old man, if Shu Ning and Jia Wang can achieve something, you must give them a separate page in your family tree."

Chen Feng was even more excited than Li Zhen. Born a peasant, he had never imagined his descendants would have such a great opportunity. Was this more than just a blessing from his ancestors?

"Aiguo, bring out the good wine your brother brought back. I want to have a couple of drinks tonight."

Qi Panqiu smiled and said, "Uncle, please try the wine I brought. My father-in-law asked me to bring it before I came."

Qi Panqiu unpacked her luggage and took out the contents, placing them on the eight-immortal table. She lowered her voice and whispered, "These two bottles of wine were obtained by my father-in-law, and they taste really good!"

Chen Aiguo's eyes widened in surprise, "Oh, Maotai!"

"Yes! It's Maotai." Qi Panqiu introduced with a smile: "My father-in-law still has two bottles hidden! He said that when Shu Ning gets married, he will take you all over and drink together then."

Qi Panqiu didn't stop moving as he pulled out two Zhongshan suits and handed them to Chen Aiguo: "My father-in-law paid someone to make them for you and my uncle."

"I bought these two shirts at the department store after consulting Junshan. Sister-in-law, try them on to see if they fit you."

Liu Xianghua took the shirt, and her rough fingers touched the delicate fabric. She quickly withdrew her hand for fear of scratching the clothes.

"Sister-in-law, take it." Qi Panqiu urged: "Clothes are meant to be worn by people, don't feel bad about them. I bought them with durable materials that can be worn while working."

Liu Xianghua looked at Qi Panqiu's clothes with envy in her eyes, and said embarrassedly: "These clothes will be ruined if I wear them to work, I can't bear to part with them."

Qi Panqiu stuffed the clothes into Liu Xianghua's arms and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, my father-in-law said that you are hardworking and kind-hearted. I was afraid you wouldn't want them, so I didn't dare buy too much."

"Auntie, I picked out a pair of cloth shoes for you. They're a specialty of our Jing City and they're very comfortable. I also bought two shirts. Both are short-sleeved, perfect for this weather."

"I have one too?" Li Zhen said embarrassedly, "I'm too old to be pretty."

"This is my gift to you," Qi Panqiu said affectionately, "You must accept it no matter what! If it weren't for your family helping us take care of our father-in-law, he wouldn't have survived until his redress."

Qi Panqiu sat on a stool and sighed, "Ah, I only knew about my father-in-law's life from what Junshan said. The old man had a hard life, but he was also very proud and didn't want to reveal his life story, so he was sent down to Chenjia Village.

Fortunately, he was sent to Chenjia Village, and your family intervened to save him from much hardship. The first year he was sent down, someone reported him for killing innocent people. It was thanks to you, uncle, that you went to the armed forces to explain the situation."

Chen Feng lowered his head and said in shame, "Niece-in-law, please don't praise me. Under the circumstances at the time, I could only secretly go to the Armed Forces Department to explain the situation. I didn't dare to plead with the people in the Revolutionary Committee."

Fortunately, the man your father-in-law killed was a traitor, and the incident was reported in the newspaper, so we can find evidence. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to protect him."

Qi Panqiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You have done more than us. We didn't even dare to write to you. At that time, those people from the Revolutionary Committee monitored my phone.

"My leaders, who work for the public good, talk to him every few days. My family's mail is also subject to inspection. They only give it to me after they have checked it and found no problems."

"Ah..." Qi Panqiu sighed, "We are so sorry, old man."

Liu Xianghua frowned and consoled him, "It's not your fault. If you have anything to blame, you can only blame the times. Life has been tough for everyone these past ten years."

Qi Panqiu coughed twice, then changed the subject and asked, "My father-in-law said that he lived with Er Laizi from your village for a while, and asked me to go see him after I get to Chenjia Village."

"Er Laizi?" Chen Feng said with a smile: "Your father-in-law really taught him a good lesson! He is now a completely different person and very hardworking.

I'll tell you in the letter about your father-in-law, Er Laizi's wedding. He'll probably be home at this time, so I'll take you there."
