Chapter 50
A few days ago, during the treatment of my grandfather, his condition was not getting better, and Li Xiujun felt pained like a knife in his heart.

When he came back from Beijing University on the weekend, Li Xiujun brought him a bag of fruit.

"grandfather!"

"Xiujun is back?" Mr. Li recently found a new hobby. He was busy tending the flowers and plants on the window sill every day. When he turned around and saw Li Xiujun's figure, he quickly wiped the dust off his hands with a towel.

While taking the fruit bag from Li Xiujun's hand, Mr. Li scolded, "Why did you buy me something again? There is nothing missing at home. I am an old man, how much can I eat?"

Li Xiujun arranged the watering pot at the foot of the wall, and said with a smile, "Please let me be more filial!"

"Girl, let's not talk about anything else, if you can find a good home, you will be showing my greatest filial piety to grandpa!"

Mr. Li poured Li Xiujun a cup of hot tea, and said earnestly.

Looking at the steam of tea in the enamel cup, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She knew well about Grandpa's physical condition, but he was too afraid that he would die soon, so he rushed to rush herself.

"You've also met the grandchildren of the Gu family, which one do you like?"

"grandfather……"

Li Xiujun annoyed in embarrassment, but he didn't think about that at all.

Not only did she meet those grandchildren, but now she understands them better, and she almost didn't reveal Gu Ming's true face!
But if she had to choose one of the three as her husband to accompany her for the rest of her life, that would be more painful than a thousand cuts.

"Haven't thought about it yet? After thinking about it, no matter which one you like, grandpa can make the decision for you."

Mr. Li took Li Xiujun's hand, and patted the back of her hand with his warm and generous palm.

"I...I want to marry Gu Qingming!"

"Gu Qingming? The third child of the Gu family?" Mr. Li was stunned, looking at Li Xiujun with trembling eyes.

"Girl, do you know what you're talking about? That third child is seven years older than you! According to seniority, you still have to call him 'Third Uncle'!"

Mr. Li was naturally puzzled. He never thought that after much deliberation, his granddaughter chose Gu Qingming, who was the elder of her generation!
"Grandpa, I've thought about it. The grandchildren of the Gu family are too impatient. They are not as stable and mature as Gu Qingming. If the granddaughter wants to marry, she must marry a good man."

"This..." He thought about it again, and what his girl said was not unreasonable.

That Gu Ming looks dignified, but who knows that he has such an irresponsible character, and he has not taken responsibility for the lies, so he is really not a good match.

The other two, Gu Yao and Gu Liang, one is illiterate and has nothing to do, and the rest is sharp-tongued, that temperament is really difficult to tolerate.

The third child, Gu Qingming, is ten years older than Li Xiujun, but he is calm and gentle, intelligent and capable. If the girl follows him, at least she won't suffer.

One is not married and the other is not married, even if it is the elder generation, it is not against the rules to give Li Xiujun happiness.

"Okay! As long as you like it, grandpa will go and mention it to your grandpa Gu!"

Mr. Li happily asked Aunt Shen to go to the kitchen to serve food, and made arrangements for Li Xiujun to eat.

"Grandpa, don't be too busy, just sit and have a rest, I'll be fine."

Li Xiujun got up to help, and pressed Grandpa on the sofa to keep him busy.

"My girl has finally been chosen! Grandpa is so happy!"

When eating, Mr. Li picked up the dishes one chopstick after another, for fear that Li Xiujun would not be full.

"Thank you grandpa, you should eat more too, don't hold it for me, I will do it myself!"

The old and the young finished their dinner happily, and Li Xiujun lay on the bed after a simple wash, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Grandpa was particularly excited today, but he was beating drums in his heart.

In the previous life, Gu Qingming was the only good person who regarded her as his family and was willing to seek justice for her tragic death.

In this life, although the young Gu Qingming was somewhat different from the calm appearance in his impression, his heart was not bad, and he could always maintain a sense of proportion when interacting with her.

But it was precisely because she was a good person that Li Xiujun felt that holding him back would delay her happiness.

She vaguely remembered that Gu Qingming never married in his last life because he had someone he always missed in his heart.

Maybe they didn't get together because of various misunderstandings, but Gu Qingming never married a wife for the sake of this woman, which showed her weight and Gu Qingming's infatuation.

I don't know if Gu Qingming will agree, but she has no other choice after all.

Turning over, looking at the crescent moon outside the window, Li Xiujun sighed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Grandpa asked Aunt Shen to help push the wheelchair, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as freshly chopped pork belly from the vegetable market, to the door of Gu's house.

"Brother, are you here so early? Is there anything good about carrying these good things?"

Mr. Gu came out for morning exercises, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the villa, he ran into Mr. Li who looked happy. He was overjoyed.

"I'm here to propose marriage for my girl!"

"Propose marriage?"

When Mr. Gu heard this, he was even happier. He called Gu Ming to settle the big and small bags in Mr. Li's hand, and helped him to sit down.

"Tell me, that child Xiujun, which grandson of our family has he taken a fancy to?"

Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard it, and the seat on the sofa was moved closer to Mr. Li.

Listening to the movement, Gu Qingming came down from upstairs, and greeted Mr. Li with a smile.

Mr. Li pretended to smile mysteriously, glanced at Mr. Gu and then at the other two, but didn't speak.

"Don't be so secretive! That kid, Gu Ming, has been looking forward to it!"

Mr. Gu patted Mr. Li on the shoulder, smiling until all the wrinkles on his face stretched out.

"Xiujun, she... chose your third child!"

"The third one?"

"Uncle Third?"

Mr. Li's astonishing words made Mr. Gu and Gu Ming question in unison.

Gu Qingming's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Xiujun, she... chose herself?
But Gu Ming's expression changed immediately, and he secretly looked at Gu Qingming with a bit of displeasure.

"Although the third child has not married a wife, he is still a few years older than Xiujun, and he is also an elder. Isn't this... a little inappropriate?" Mr. Gu felt troubled.

Mr. Li waved his hand, "Hey" said: "Men are unmarried and women are unmarried, but no matter how old you are, it's not a problem! What's more, this girl Xiujun..."

"I've confirmed the third child!"

"What! Oh, I really didn't expect that. But having said that, the child's heart is important. Xiujun is a good child. It is our good fortune that she married into the Gu family. If we can really marry the third child... it will be one Good thing!"

"But it's just that age is a disadvantage. The third child in our family is also in his twenties!"

The two old people laughed together, this is a good thing to get closer, and I am happy to see it come true.

"No problem, no problem, I have to ask, is the third child willing or not?" Grandpa Li looked at Gu Qingming, but found that his expression was not as stable as usual.
