Chapter 252: Being Responsible for Picking Her up From Now On |
“Grandma, I'm still young,” Yang Daya said with a blushing face.
“I know. Guangzong won't get married anytime soon. He wants to wait three to five years. Earliest three years, latest five years. If it is three years, then you will be 18 and can get married,” Aunt Yang said.
“Let's talk about it in three years, okay?” Yang Daya was very shy.
“Silly girl, if you close your eyes, then he will settle down quickly. Do you know how many girls in the village are staring at him?” Aunt Yang said.
Yang Daya knew this. He was the only son, and his family was well off. He did not have any sisters-in-law or anything like that, which was very good. If she gave birth to his son, how much happiness would she have for the rest of her life?
“I also have a lot of people staring at me,” Yang Daya said in a low voice.
Aunt Yang smiled when she heard these words, and touched her eldest granddaughter lovingly. “I feel like you are a little bolder after living in the town. You are not as silent as before. What you said is not bad. My eldest granddaughter is also popular, but we need to choose. We have to choose early, otherwise there won’t be any good ones left.”
Yang Daya was still thinking about this when she left her grandparents' place. She didn't pay attention and bumped into someone.
“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention,” Yang Daya said.
“Daya, are you back today?” Ji Guangzong was very calm when he asked her.
“Yes.” Yang Daya thought he was out to block her way, and she was even more embarrassed. She glanced at him and said, “There is still some work to do, so I'm going back first.”
“Okay.” Ji Guangzong nodded.
He thought to himself, I haven’t seen this girl from Lao Yang’s family for a while, why is she so beautiful? White and clean, but too small.
Ji Guangzong wasn't a beast and didn't think more about it. In his mind, she was still a little girl.
He went over to find Ji Jianyun without much thought.
It was Ji Jianyun who called him over. After looking at him, he smiled and asked, “Did you see Daya on the way here? I think she just went back, so she should have bumped into you.”
“I bumped into her. I don't know why she was lost in thought. She would probably bump into me if I stood in front of her,” Ji Guangzong said.
“That means you are destined.” Su Danhong came out and smiled when she heard this.
“Sister-in-law,” Ji Guangzong greeted and said. “It would be great if we are destined. I think she is quite pretty.”
“Since you think she is pretty, why don’t you get engaged first?” Ji Jianyun asked.
Ji Guangzong was just talking and wasn’t thinking further. He was in shock when he heard this and said with a smile, “Third brother, please stop joking with me. How old is Daya now? She is still a little girl. How can I be a beast?”
“If you like her, then you can get engaged first. As for getting married, it doesn't matter if you want to wait three or five years. In three years, Daya will be 18 and you will be 23. By then, it’ll be okay, right?” Ji Jianyun said.
Ji Guangzong immediately said, “Let's talk about it in three years. It's too early to talk about it now.”
“You've seen Daya. She will be an adult in three years. Do you know how many people in the village are interested in Daya with how pretty she is? If there are people interested in her, do you think you’ll end up with her if you wait? Are you stupid?” Ji Jianyun asked him.
Ji Guangzong grinned when he thought of Yang Daya. This little girl was really pretty. Three years later, there would definitely be a lot of people chasing her. There might be people in the town who want to talk about her.
“She's still so young. Isn't it a little too quick to talk about this?” Ji Guangzong was still a little embarrassed. It was a bit weird for him to think of this when the girl was still too young.
“I'm not telling you to marry today. How about three years from now? You can decide for yourself whether it's okay or not to marry then.” Ji Jianyun finished what he had to say.
As soon as Ji Guangzong came back, Mother Guangzong asked him about it. Ji Guangzong hesitated and told her that Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong wanted to introduce Yang Daya to him.
As soon as she heard about Yang Daya, Mother Guangzong's eyes lit up. If they wanted to introduce Yang Daya to him, then it would definitely be a good match.
Yang Daya was the eldest daughter of Yang Aimu and Ma Hui. She was a little shy when she was young, but she changed a lot in the past two years.
Now she was helping Su Danhong’s second brother's shop. She came back once a month. He only saw her just a while ago, so there must have been a big change.
She was pretty, and Mother Guangzong heard that she was doing well in the shop and had a stable income every month. Many girls in the village worked in the factory, but Mother Guangzong felt that working in the factory was not as good as working at a shop.
At least Daya seemed better off than those girls who worked in the factory. She had customer service skills, unlike the girls in the factory who worked all day long.
“Guangzong, what do you think?” Mother Guangzong asked her son.
“She’s too young.” Ji Guangzong still said the same thing, but it was impossible to say that he was unhappy.
In three years, she would be 18 and an adult.
“Do you want to wait until she is 18? You will be 23 by then. It will be the right time to get married,” Mother Guangzong said.
She wanted him to get married earlier, but wasn't the girl still young? As long as she was a good match, there's no harm in waiting three years. Her son wasn’t too old, and he's not willing to marry now, so it's better to make a promise first.
Ji Guangzong was a little embarrassed and wondered, “What should we do?”
“Just leave these things to me. Daya will go to town in the evening. You can borrow a bicycle to take her there,” Mother Guangzong said.
“Okay.” Ji Guangzong agreed.
In the evening, as soon as Yang Daya left the village entrance, she saw Ji Guangzong waiting for her with a bicycle. Her face turned red.
“I'll take you there.” Ji Guangzong was also a little embarrassed. He was calm before, but he wasn’t now because this little girl might be his future wife.
“Don’t you have work to do? I can just walk by myself,” Yang Daya said.
“How much time will it take to get you there? It won’t be long,” Ji Guangzong said.
So, Yang Daya was taken back to the town by him. He also asked her when she would come back next time. He said that he would pick her up and asked her not to leave without him.
Second Su sister-in-law saw Ji Guangzong take Yang Daya back, so she asked her about it. Yang Daya was very embarrassed and said that it was Su Danhong who introduced her to him.
Second Su sister-in-law didn't want her to be deceived, so she asked Su Jindang to ask about it. After asking and confirming everything, she felt relieved.
“He is a good person. He is hard-working, and has a simple family. He looks a little mature, but he is only five years older, which is not a big gap,” Su Jindang told second Su sister-in-law.
Su Jindang himself was four years older than his wife.
