Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 900: Chapter 900 Can’t Afford a Bride

”Mom! Why are you crying?” Tian Niu embraced his mother with heartache, and clenched his teeth, he said through the pain, ”If Shuangshuang’s mom doesn’t agree, then we just can’t afford this bride. We can’t just drive you and dad to death over marrying a daughter-in-law!”

”Brother, I think sister-in-law is pretty great!”

”Brother, you should still talk it over with sister-in-law.”

The elder sister and the second sister both genuinely liked Gu Shuangshuang and wanted her to become their sister-in-law.

Having given it some thought, Tian Niu nodded forcefully: ”I will go right away.”

In the kitchen.

Gu Shuangshuang, wearing an apron and holding a scrub brush, was bent over seriously scrubbing a large iron pot.

The kitchen was very hot, and the sweat on her forehead kept dripping down.

Finally, after finishing, she looked up and saw Tian Niu standing at the door.

Gu Shuangshuang flashed him a smile: ”Old Niu, how about it, praise me. See if I don’t look like a farm wife.”

”You do! Very much so!” Tian Niu said with a sour heart.

Gu Shuangshuang noticed his odd behavior and moved closer: ”What’s wrong? Are you not happy?”

”No!” Tian Niu denied.

”Don’t lie to me, you wouldn’t look like this if you were happy,” Gu Shuangshuang said as she untied her apron and poured herself a bowl of water from the thermos. After gulping down a few sips, she handed it to Tian Niu, ”Is it because you’re upset about your dad’s illness? After I return to Jiangning, I’ll find some good medicine in the hospital and then send it to your dad. He’s getting on in years, so he’s bound to suffer, but he’ll definitely get better, don’t worry.”

”Shuangshuang!” Tian Niu said, moved, and hugged her hard, so tight she could barely breathe, ”You’re truly wonderful!”

”Hey, let go, you’re almost squeezing the life out of me,” Gu Shuangshuang pushed Tian Niu away with force, ”So, is your meeting over?”

”Mhm, it’s over.”

”What was this family meeting about that’s so secret you even had to keep me away?” Gu Shuangshuang asked with a laugh.

”Shuangshuang.” Tian Niu thought it over and decided to be straightforward with her, ”Today’s meeting was about our wedding.”

”What, your parents want us to get married sooner?” Gu Shuangshuang nodded, ”I can understand their feelings, after all, you’re not getting any younger. The problem is passing the hurdle with my mom.”

”If your mom doesn’t agree to us being together, what will you do?” Tian Niu looked at her worriedly.

”Force, I’ll even force her to agree. I’ve thought it all through; if it really comes down to it, I’ll just elope with you. What can she do to me?” Gu Shuangshuang was so eager for a beautiful romance and marriage.

She didn’t want to always follow the path laid out for her; before meeting Tian Niu, she was actually quite fearful of marriage. Just looking at her father and mother’s marriage made her think that not marrying for life was the best choice.

But having met Tian Niu, this honest man had touched her heart.

She indeed wanted to marry this man and spend her life with him!

”If you fall out with your parents and end up marrying me only to discover that life isn’t as good as you imagined, you’ll definitely regret it.” Compared to Gu Shuangshuang’s impulsiveness, Tian Niu was much more sensible.

I really want to marry Gu Shuangshuang, but based on the current situation, I can’t bring her happiness.

First, there’s no money at home. Second, I can’t stay by Gu Shuangshuang’s side.

The third point is also the most important.

After graduating from Military Medical University, Gu Shuangshuang became a military doctor. A military doctor is both a soldier and a physician, so she must obey the orders of the troops.
