Chapter 18 Chapter 18
Half a year passed in a flash.
It's been a long time, enough to change a lot of things.
After talking, the knot in Cui Yuanbao's heart was untied, and Ruan Gumo was so grateful that he almost wanted to recite Amitabha Buddha.
The days are going smoothly and smoothly, Cui Yuanbao just found out that Ruan Gumo's parents and relatives are all in the capital, but because the ancestral house is here, Ruan Gumo is allowed to continue living here.
The Ruan family's parents have always been acquiescing and have never raised any written objections.
The parents of the Cui family kept the uneasy mood of Gao Pan, always feeling that Cui Yuanbao would still be doomed in the next second.
He often told Cui Yuanbao to restrain his temper and not to be disliked by others, after all, the Ruan family had great achievements.Even if there is that day, don't put yourself in any kind of bad situation, it's best to be decent.
Cui Yuanbao listened with a smile on his face, what went in his left ear and out in his right ear, but he didn't take it personally.
On the contrary, Ruan Gumo paid attention, and if there is something delicious and fun all day long, he must send it to Cui's family first, which makes Cui's parents don't know how to bear it.
Cui Yuanbao held an idle official position in the county government office. Although he didn't earn much money, fortunately he had few jobs.
Having nothing to do all day long and wanting to choose another skill, Ruan Gumo was reluctant to let him continue running outside. After repeated persuasion, Cui Yuanbao simply followed Ruan Gumo to learn brush and ink calligraphy, and Ruan Gumo was naturally willing to teach.
Although Ruan Gumo himself is not very good at learning, he can still fool Cui Yuanbao for a while.
Ruan Gumo couldn't help feeling complacent, he could see the ears of rice clearly, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, waiting for Yuan Bao to recover, the young master must have good fruit to eat.
I really don't have a long memory.
The first time Ruan Gumo met the members of the Cui family was on the day when Cui Xiaomei got married, and at the beginning of the spring of the year.
Every time this matter was brought up, Ruan Gumo was very angry.
If he hadn't been curious about what Cui Yuanbao was up to lately, and after inquiring about it, Cui Yuanbao would have brought Ruan Gumo, who was empty-handed, to the door.
But after all, it was Cui Xiaomei's wedding day, so it's not good to complain like this, Ruan Gumo tried hard to suppress the emotions in his heart, and talked in his heart, how to talk to Cui Yuanbao to be better after going back.
The Cui family’s not-so-big courtyard was full of people, joking and congratulating, children running around, and neighbors in the neighborhood with three aunts and six wives, eating melon seeds and wedding candy, all with joy on their faces.
Cui Yuanbao talked and laughed all the way to the main room, seeing the busy mess in the room, he raised his foot that was about to step in, and silently retracted it.
Ruan Gumo cautiously followed behind Cui Yuanbao, fearing that he would be left behind, even the person who greeted Cui Yuanbao tried his best to show a kind smile.
Cui Yuanbao was wandering around in the courtyard with nothing to do, Ruan Gumo followed closely, Cui's parents were so busy that they had already lost their heads, but luckily Cui's elder brother was there, so they managed to come over.
Ruan Gumo felt concerned and asked, "Why don't you help?"
"The more you help, the more busy you are." Cui Yuanbao found fresh fruit from the kitchen, handed it to Ruan Gumo, and motioned him to eat, Fang continued: "After all, I didn't make it up, I don't understand."
"Why don't you ask someone to talk about it?"
Cui Yuanbao smiled indifferently: "We are a small family, how can there be so many people, all of them are self-made. A few years ago, I got into that trouble again and cut off many relatives and friends. Now I can't do it myself. strangeness."
Ruan Gumo suddenly realized that he seemed to understand why Cui Yuanbao didn't go up to Zhang Luo. If someone started gossip again, how could the Cui family feel better when they heard it on the happy day.
Finally got some free time, Cui Yuanbao took Ruan Gumo to his relatives, Cui's mother looked at Cui Yuanbao lovingly, and asked with a smile: "Why do you see that you have lost weight?"
"What's missing?" Father Cui stared and said, "Your sister is getting married, so you're coming here at this hour?"
Cui Yuanbao smiled indifferently: "Oh, it won't be of much help."
"This is?"
Following Cui's mother's probing eyes, Cui Yuanbao remembered that there was another person beside him.
Ruan Gumo's cheeks hurt from laughing, and Cui Yuanbao introduced without formality: "This is Ruan Gumo, this is my parents, and this is my brother."
It's better to keep them staring at each other, not knowing who will speak first.
Ruan Gumo deliberated over and over again, and cautiously spoke first: "Son-in-law..."
Cui Yuanbao coughed heavily, and Ruan Gumo corrected his words like a gentleman, and said very fast: "The younger generation has seen uncles, aunts and elder brothers, please accept the small gifts."
Watching Cui Yuanbao's parents take the things without surprise, he felt a sense of relief, which made Ruan Gumo wonder why.
Curiosity is curiosity, Ruan Gumo obediently never asked.
Big Brother Cui took the things with a smile: "I often hear Yuan Bao mentioning you, but I only realized that Yuan Bao was talking nonsense when I saw it today."
"Brother!" Cui Yuanbao blushed, trying to stop his elder brother from continuing.
Ruan Gumo could probably understand in his heart that Cui Yuanbao must not have said anything good about him before, so he simply laughed it off and stopped asking further questions.
In a chaotic manner, Cui Xiaomei was sent to the bridal sedan chair, and the Cui family's elder brother hurriedly followed, while the Cui family's parents wept secretly, and returned to the room.
Cui Yuanbao probably felt bad, and went home depressed.
Back at the mansion, Ruan Gumo wanted to get angry with Cui Yuanbao, but he couldn't bear it after all. He wanted to say something softly, but he couldn't suppress his anger.
"Yuan Bao, I think we need to talk."
Ruan Gumo spoke after deliberating.Cui Yuanbao was patient, listening to Ruan Gumo's grievances and complaints.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yuanbao acted as if nothing had happened, and said nonchalantly, "What's mine is yours, so you don't have to care so much about it."
Ruan Gumo's heart was mixed with sorrow and joy, whether he should be glad that Cui Yuanbao didn't treat him as an outsider, or trouble Cui Yuanbao for being out of his mind.
On the second day, Cui Yuanbao took Ruan Gumo home again.
Cui Yuanbao snatched the work from his parents and elder brother and cleaned it by himself. Ruan Gumo couldn't stand by his side and wanted to perform hard, so Cui's mother dragged him into the house.
Ruan Gumo didn't want to go in at first, but was pushed away by Cui Yuanbao with disgust: "Come in quickly, don't delay my work, I'm used to it."
Since Cui Yuanbao said so, Ruan Gumo couldn't say anything more, resigned to his fate and walked into the house, fidgeting and watching Cui Yuanbao tidying up in the courtyard, it seemed that he couldn't intervene, Ruan Gumo thought anxiously.
Cui's father asked Ruan Gumo to have a few drinks, but Ruan Gumo couldn't refuse, so he just picked up the wine glass, and the elder brother of the Cui family continued to fill up the empty wine glass with a smile.
Brother Cui's family is a real person, simple and honest, but it's because the family has never married a wife.
When mentioning this matter, Cui Yuanbao inevitably sighed, feeling that he was a drag on the family.
"Your younger sister is also married, and Yuan Bao has a fortune. You should think about yourself." Ruan Gumo blushed inexplicably after what Cui's mother said, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.
The eldest brother of the Cui family smiled honestly: "I'm not in a hurry."
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you have to take care of it."
"I don't know if my little sister is used to staying at his house..." Cui's mother's eyes were already red as she spoke.
Brother Cui hurriedly persuaded: "My brother-in-law will definitely not treat my younger sister badly."
While talking, Cui Yuanbao had already packed up and went into the room to sit down, and while listening to the conversation, he brought food for Ruan Gumo.
"Take a look, this dish made by mother is the best."
Cui's mother smiled and said: "Try it, if you don't like it, try it next time your father cooks."
Ruan Gumo didn't dare to say even if it wasn't delicious, not to mention he was hungry right now, so he thought it was delicious.
Mother Cui watched Ruan Gumo gulp, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and persuaded her to eat slowly while picking up vegetables.
Cui's father didn't say much, he picked up the wine glass and sipped in small sips, and the elder brother of the Cui family occasionally drank with him.
Seeing that the meal was almost over, Cui's mother couldn't help sighing quietly: "Suddenly, there is one less person in the family, I am really not used to it."
Ruan Gumo wanted to say words of comfort, but silently swallowed them back.
Cui Yuanbao smiled and brought food to Cui's mother, and said, "Little sister finally got what she wanted, she should be happy."
"Sigh." Father Cui sighed, put down his wine glass, and said, "I can understand it, but I just can't bear it."
"There's nothing to be reluctant about." The eldest brother of the Cui family persuaded: "My little sister may not be less familiar with his family than my own."
Persuasion is persuasion, the big brother of the Cui family also had red eyes and lowered his head.
"It's because I'm so familiar." Mother Cui emphasized, "I'm even more afraid that my little sister will wrong me."
Cui Yuanbao hurriedly said, "My brother-in-law won't."
"It's because my little sister is afraid of your brother-in-law's embarrassment, so I embarrass myself." Father Cui picked up the wine glass again, his hands trembling unconsciously.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Cui Yuanbao tried to smile, "We should be happy for the little girl."
"Yes, yes, Yuan Bao is right." Mother Cui laughed, "Our little sister should be happy when she grows up."
The eldest brother of the Cui family knew that he was stupid and couldn't say words for comfort, so he simply picked up the wine glass and had a good drink with Cui's father.
Cui Xiaomei probably married very well, looking at the Cui family's smiling and tearful eyes, Ruan Gumo became curious.
On the way back, Cui Yuanbao couldn't help biting the tears from the corners of his eyes with something on his mind, which made Ruan Gumo dare not open his mouth to ask.
When he blew out the candle and lay on the bed, Ruan Gumo finally asked.
Cui Xiaomei married an old neighbor, a childhood sweetheart, a childhood sweetheart, if Cui Yuanbao hadn't made troubles in the past few years, she must have married long ago.
Even in the years when the Cui family was defeated, due to the obstacles of his parents, he never broke up with Cui Xiaomei, and he always wanted to be with Cui Xiaomei firmly.
I am also struggling, I have passed the exam, and I have an idea, no matter how loud the opposition from my family is, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, he is gentle and talented, and looks quite trustworthy.
It's not good for Cui Xiaomei to be underestimated at her in-law's house. Ruan Gumo overturned the land deed in his hand, and when he returned home in three days, he gave Cui Xiaomei some makeup.
Cui Xiaomei looked at him for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "Thank you."
Ruan Gumo laughed so hard that he felt extremely embarrassed.
