Chu Zhaoyang pursed his lips and said, "Stay in City B to eat next year."
Whether it was getting a certificate or holding a wedding, it could be completed next year, and they will definitely stay in the old house to celebrate the New Year. Gu Nian knew what he meant, and her face felt a little hot, but she still nodded: "Then next year, I will give you something to eat that you like."
"Good." At this time, through the phone, Gu Nian heard the doorbell ringing on his side. "Is there someone at home?" Gu Nian asked.
"It's a relative from the clan who came here." Chu Zhaoyang explained calmly.
The Chu family was a big family with many people. Since the two elders were the oldest, the uncle's family will come to the old house to celebrate the New Year every year.
"Then hang up, you still have to greet your relatives." Gu Nian said, seeing that Chu Zhaoyang looked unhappy.
Compared with greeting relatives, he would rather chat with her, even if it was just across the screen, saying nothing, just watching her quietly making dumplings.
"I'll go back in a few days." Gu Nian said helplessly.
Chu Zhaoyang pursed his lips and nodded.
After returning to Lanyuan from Gu Nian, he became even more inseparable from her.
He usually go to work and miss her when he had nothing to do in the company. Chu Zhaoyang couldn't help but wonder how he had survived the previous three years.
Let's not talk about those three years, let's just say that when Gu Nian came back, he had not lived back to Lanyuan. Every night, he would go back to Lanyuan by himself. Throughout that period, when he thought about it now, he didn't know how he held on.
Since Gu Nian's time with him was short, he could still hold on for a while.
The more he saw her day and night, the more he couldn't live without her.
"I miss you." Chu Zhaoyang said in a muffled voice. He just met her yesterday morning, and she just left not long ago.
He often traveled on business and misses her when he was away, but he was not like now, feeling flustered even if he didn't see her in the blink of an eye.
It's still those three years, and the shadow has fallen. Chu Zhaoyang didn't say anything, but Gu Nian didn't feel much about it. The family was busy and she didn't have much time to think about it.
But at this moment, she also felt a little melancholy. She missed him too. Gu Nian thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back early."
"Okay." Chu Zhaoyang nodded. From the screen, she could still see that Aunt Gao went to the door and opened it.
"It seems like someone has come in." Gu Nian said, feeling quite embarrassed.
It didn't seem good for his relatives to see him just chatting with her. Chu Zhaoyang also didn't like having other people present when chatting with Gu Nian.
So he said: "Then I'll hang up first."
Gu Nian smiled and said "hmm" before turning off the video. Chu Zhaoyang put away his cell phone, stood up slowly, and walked towards the door. Just halfway through, he stopped.
The ones who came in were his second grandfather, third uncle and fourth uncle. Chu Jiahong was the only son of the old man and the old lady. Chu Zhaoyang had mentioned to Gu Nian before that the uncle who awakened the family master's ability but died young was the eldest son of the second grandfather.
Because the abilities of the head of the Chu family were all awakened in the eldest son.
After knowing this condition, the ancestors of the Chu family made a rule that the eldest son of the Chu family could only come from the head wife.
It had been put an end to the occurrence of those who, in order to seize the position to give birth to the eldest son as soon as possible, find a random woman outside and sow seeds widely.
As for the legal wife, one must choose carefully, and one could not just choose one casually. It would be bad if they marry someone who was not clear-headed and makes the family uneasy, did not help your husband's career at all, and only hinders her husband's career.
For example, Xiang Yulan.
When Xiang Yulan was young, she wasn't so miserable. She didn't know why, but the older she got, the less she could stand on the stage.
And this was just one of the rules set by their ancestors.
Because of this one rule, it was inevitable that someone will do something small in private.
No matter how strict the precautions were, there will always be oversights. It was even possible to marry a wife as early as possible in order to steal the eldest son, and then marry a wife who is not so satisfactory.
After all, not every descendant of the Chu family was so measured, like a gentleman, and puts the overall situation first.
As the family gets bigger, there will naturally be more and more careless people.
Some parents were capable, restrained, and down-to-earth, but they were like tigers and dogs, such as the old man and Chu Jiahong.
There were also cases where the father was uninteresting, but the son was comforting.
For example, Chu Jiahong and Chu Zhaoyang. What's even more unfortunate was that both father and son were out of tune. No matter what kind of person it was, as long as one person was bad, it will be easy to cause trouble and become difficult to control.
Therefore, the ancestral motto of the Chu family also stipulates that descendants of the same generation of the Chu family must undergo a competitive assessment mechanism. Just like being selected to study in Lanshan Courtyard, one of the best among his peers was selected and given key training.
Naturally, he has to be very cautious when choosing his first wife.
The secret department of the tribe conducts supervision and review. While preventing others from giving birth to the eldest son first, the candidate was also inspected until he gives birth to the eldest son.
Those who have inherited the abilities of the head of the family did not have to worry about it. In order to ensure that the head of the Chu family was the best person to succeed him, the group of elders will still pay close attention to other outstanding children of the same generation and select their first wives. After this, whoever gives birth to the eldest son first depends entirely on luck. The reason why Chu Jiahong was able to marry Xiang Yulan was because Chu Jiahong was not outstanding among his generation.
Hence, he did not interfere too much in the choice of his wife. Because of the special nature of Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang, the elders could not interfere in the affairs between them.
