Chapter 169 The plan went smoothly
Seeing this, Huang Yingying, whose face had fallen when Qian Jun said that Su Niannian was the most beautiful female educated youth in the educated youth settlement, finally smiled.
"Yeah, Gu Nan, you're really lucky. Such a wonderful girl like Su Niannian actually married you."
"That's right. I thought Su Niannian was pretty good the first day she arrived. I really didn't expect her to get married in the countryside so soon." When this male educated youth spoke, there was even a hint of pity for Su Niannian.
"You need to drink a few more glasses. We won't leave until we're completely drunk."
"Come on, drink!"
Many of the male educated youths stood up and asked Gu Nan to sit down and drink with them.
Where are the female educated youth in the educated youth settlements so easy to marry? Wouldn't you have to get him drunk and make him look foolish?
Seeing this, Huang Yingying smiled even more happily.
Yes, the goal is to get Gu Nan drunk.
If Gu Nan gets drunk and goes back to his room, I can sneak in.
When the time comes, just tear a little bit of your clothes and you can stick yourself to Gu Nan.
Huang Yingying gave Qian Jun another look, signaling him to drink more alcohol.
Qian Jun, being sensible, pulled many people to drink as well.
Liu Yang, however, frowned upon seeing this.
"He's getting married tomorrow, so don't keep trying to get him drunk."
Liu Yang felt that since he was getting married tomorrow, it wasn't appropriate to get so drunk today, lest it cause any problems.
After all, marriage is a joyous occasion, and it's best to try to stop it if possible.
"Liu Zhiqing, it's precisely because tomorrow is a joyous occasion and a rare opportunity that we should drink more."
"Look at this meal today, it would be such a waste not to drink it. I rarely see this kind of meal at home."
"Oh, you say that? It's true! Gu Nan really went all out to marry one of our female educated youths!"
After another round of flattery, and considering that many of the male educated youth had already drunk quite a bit, they were all somewhat tipsy.
When they start urging people to drink, it gets even more lively.
"drink!"
"Drink this!"
"You're raising fish? I'll show you how!"
"Come on, I've finished mine, how come you still have half a glass left?"
Faced with repeated calls for him to drink, Gu Nan had no choice but to drink along.
After several rounds of drinks, even if Gu Nan could drink a lot, he couldn't keep up with so many people toasting him.
Gu Nan felt slightly tipsy, so he put down his wine glass and went to wash his face.
By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed since the banquet began.
The villagers had all left the tables outside after they had eaten their fill.
Now there are only these two tables left in the house. The table where Jiang Aiguo was has also been occupied, and everyone has finished eating and left.
"Second son, you're getting married tomorrow, that's enough." Seeing that the educated youths were constantly urging their sons to drink, Gu's mother couldn't help but go up to Gu Nan and say something.
But Huang Yingying stopped her.
"Aunt Gu, tomorrow is Brother Gu Nan's wedding, it's a joyous occasion. Su Niannian is from our educated youth settlement, so we can be considered her family."
"It's only right that the groom treats us to a drink."
Huang Yingying's words made sense. Su Niannian didn't have any family on her side. The people who hadn't left yet were all educated youth from the educated youth settlement.
It's not wrong to say that they are Su Niannian's family.
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother didn't say anything more.
I went downstairs with Aunt Zhou and Widow Wu to clear the dishes.
But she still looked at Gu Nan with concern.
Gu Nan looked at his mother and nodded slightly.
Gu's mother knew that her son was reliable and wouldn't do anything reckless, so she stopped interfering.
After a while, it got dark, and kerosene lamps and candles were lit in the room.
When it was time for Gu's mother to deliver the dress to Su Niannian, she informed Gu Nan and asked Li Ergou to keep an eye on Gu Nan's side.
For some reason, Gu's mother felt a little uneasy when she saw the educated youth surnamed Huang, even though she had never had any contact with Huang Yingying.
I don't know if it was because of what Song Zhaodi said during the day that I had this feeling.
In short, I felt very uncomfortable with Huang Yingying.
"Keep an eye on Gu Nan. I just feel uncomfortable with that female educated youth over there," Gu's mother whispered to Li Ergou from outside the door.
Li Ergou looked in the direction Gu's mother was pointing and saw Huang Yingying.
"Oh, I saw her before when I went with Brother Nan to the educated youth settlement to deliver a wardrobe to my sister-in-law. She even tried to flirt with Brother Nan, but he didn't even glance at her."
Li Ergou and Huang Yingying didn't have much contact. The last time they spoke was when Li Ergou delivered the cabinet to Su Niannian.
"Okay, that's good. I'll go deliver the wedding dress to Niannian. You keep an eye on things here." After saying that, Gu's mother told Gu Ningning to stay in her eldest brother's room and not to run around, and then she took the dress and went to the educated youth settlement with a few aunts.
Aunt Zhou, who was originally going to accompany Gu's mother to the educated youth settlement, overheard their conversation and said she wouldn't go with them.
I need to stay and help out at the Gu family's place.
Mother Gu had no objections, so she nodded and went to the educated youth settlement with the other aunts.
Aunt Zhou stood at the door, glanced at Huang Yingying, and thought to herself, "This girl is not honest. I have to keep a close eye on her for Su Niannian!"
Su Niannian was unaware of the situation here. If she had known, she would have been very grateful to Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou is a really nice person, easy to get along with!
On the other side, Gu's mother, carrying the wedding invitation and the prepared dress, headed towards the educated youth settlement.
Because it was getting late, six or seven women, including the older women, took flashlights and kerosene lamps and headed to the educated youth settlement.
Some of the villagers who were passing by wanted to join in the fun, and some even went along to see what was going on.
Upon arriving at the educated youth settlement, Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi happily welcomed them in.
Mother Gu placed the items on the table for Su Niannian one by one, and then handed her the gift list.
"Niannian, this is your wedding dress for tomorrow. Gu Nan will pick you up at 11 a.m. tomorrow."
As she spoke, Gu's mother's eyes reddened slightly.
At this point, Gu's mother really felt that Gu Nan was very lucky.
I really like Su Niannian, she's such a wonderful girl.
It's truly a stroke of good fortune that my family was fortunate enough to marry Su Niannian.
"Okay." Su Niannian smiled and hugged Gu's mother.
"Also, here's the betrothal gift list, I'll give it to you as well." Gu's mother handed the betrothal gift list to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Niannian smiled happily. Although she already knew what was on it, she was still very happy.
At this moment, some villagers outside started making a fuss, saying they wanted to know what was on Su Niannian's betrothal gift list.
