Gu Yanshu would do this out of complete conditioned reflex.
When he was in school or doing internship, he often met girls who took the initiative to make advances.
But he didn't consider or accept either.
The main reason is that my family situation is such that I have parents to take care of and younger siblings to help.
Talking about this to others at this time, isn't it clear that you are asking others to endure hardships with you?
So he planned to consider life-long matters when his conditions were better.
Although it was no longer in his plan, even if he received the certificate, he would not be able to be so close to a girl right away.
Therefore, when Yuntianjiao bumped into his arms, his first reaction was to distance himself first.
But his move had a different meaning in Yun Tianjiao's eyes.
Yun Tianjiao glanced at his hand that was still on her shoulder, and then looked at his face.
When she saw him like this, Gu Yanshu reacted immediately and quickly took his hand back.
"Sorry, I……"
When Yun Tianjiao heard the sound, she simply took two steps back.
"Okay, don't keep apologizing. I understand what you mean."
"You intellectuals may value free love and reject and despise arranged marriage. For people like us who are still involved with money, you may feel even more sorry for the books you have read over the years."
"But we have received the certificate now, and we are now a legal couple. Our names are written in black and white on the paper! I didn't force you to write it, right?"
Gu Yan's face turned red when he heard this. He nodded and shook his head hurriedly.
He did reject and despise arranged wedding banquets, but to say that marrying Yuntianjiao was a disservice to his studies seemed to go too far.
But before he could explain, Yun Tianjiao continued: "So even if you feel wronged or regretful, it won't happen. No matter what, you have to wait two or three years before talking to me."
"If we can't get along again by then, we'll come back to this place again and break up."
Yun Tian said this, and left immediately without caring about Gu Yanshu's expression.
Now that I think about it, she was in a hurry to get married.
But seeing that the old men in the family were anxious to find money matchmakers, she compromised.
Anyway, except for Gu Yanshu's disadvantages, his conditions are excellent in all aspects, so she is not at a disadvantage.
Let’s live like this for now!
If it doesn't work, pull it down!
Anyway, Yuntianjiao has this mentality now.
Love as much as you like!
Seeing that Yuntianjiao didn't seem to be joking, Gu Yanshu became a little angry for a moment.
He quickly took a few steps to catch up with her and was parallel to her, his brows furrowed tightly.
"I don't feel wronged by marrying you, nor do I regret it. And marriage is not a child's play, and I am not joking."
After he finished speaking, he strode forward with a sullen face.
Yun Tianjiao was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect him to say that at all.
When she just received the certificate, she also saw that this college student had just reached the age of twenty-two.
I am already twenty-five years old, so I am older than others!
Now that she saw him leaving first in anger, she actually wanted to laugh.
Forget it, after all, he is three years younger than me, so let’s just let him do it this time!
Seeing that the man was tall and had long legs, and he had lost a lot of weight in such a short time, Yun Tianjiao hurriedly ran after him, and then patted his arm.
"Oh, why are you so angry? Isn't this just talk? Besides, if you really can't live on, wouldn't it be better for everyone if we leave?"
Yun Tianjiao felt that what she said was right, but who knew that this kid looked at her after hearing this and walked faster.
And he didn't say a word.
Yun Tianjiao was not afraid of him being like this. Anyway, he himself said that he would not go back on his words.
But she was afraid that if she took him home, he would also have an angry face, and she wouldn't be able to explain it to the old man!
"Hey, hey! Why are you still angry?"
After saying this, Gu Yanshu stopped, but his mouth was still pursed tightly, as if he had been greatly wronged. It made Yun Tianjiao feel like he had bullied others.
After staring at Yun Tianjiao for a while, he said: "Marriage is not a child's play. If you did that just now, you... don't mention it again."
Now that he has said so, Yun Tianjiao must take another step back.
"Sure! It's all up to you! Don't look downcast again now."
Gu Yanshu didn't have an unyielding temper. Besides, today was a happy day. It would not be good if he had conflicts with others on the first day.
"Yeah." He nodded in response and stopped walking so fast.
Yun Tianjiao felt relieved when she finally coaxed the person.
After taking only a few steps, Gu Yanshu stopped again.
"Well, I have something else..."
"What's going on?"
"I want to visit my parents' graves first."
~
Yun Tianjiao could understand this request, and even felt that Gu Yanshu sincerely wanted to live with her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to visit his parents’ graves on today’s day to receive the certificate.
This is also equivalent to telling his parents that he is getting married.
So after Gu Yanshu said it, Yun Tianjiao immediately bought straw paper and pastries and followed them to a hillside outside the town.
The Gu family's parents were buried together. The grave was still new and the color of the wreath on it had not changed.
After Yun Tianjiao helped arrange the cakes, she knelt beside Gu Yanshu.
Others might say a few words when visiting the grave, but Gu Yanshu just burned paper quietly without saying a word.
When Yun Tianjiao saw this, she took some paper and put it into the fire, and then said respectfully:
"Father-in-law, I am Yuntianjiao from this town. From today on, your eldest son and I are officially husband and wife."
"We will live a good life in the future and bring up our younger brothers and sisters. If you and I know you well under the spring, please keep us safe and healthy."
After saying that, she kowtowed three times to the ground.
Next to her, Gu Yanshu looked a little moved after hearing what she said, but still didn't say a word.
After burning the paper, it was getting dark.
Gu Yanshu didn't hesitate any longer. When the fire was out, he and Yuntianjiao walked to Lao Zhangtou's house.
When he was far away from the hillside, he said something.
"Thank you."
Yun Tianjiao knew that he was thanking her because of the words she said in the cemetery.
She understood that these intellectuals, especially doctors, did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But they just want those who have passed away to understand what they are thinking.
Those few words she just said should be regarded as speaking for Gu Yanshu.
Just when I was thinking about replying to him with a few words to comfort him so that he would not still be sad about the death of his parents, I saw a few people chatting at the door of a house on the edge of the town from a distance.
One of the aunts, who is it if she is not a money matchmaker?
"Hmph, you all say that you, Sai Erniang, got hold of the college students that the Gu family worked so hard to train, but I don't believe it!"
"It's not like college students are stupid because of their studies. How can they want that fierce woman?"
