Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1311: Worried About Uncle Settling Scores Later

Xinyan smiled and walked over directly: "Yes, when did you arrive?"

As soon as she finished asking, before the other party could answer, she heard her uncle, Yize’s voice: "Back already."

Xinyan looked over: "Hmm."

Gu Yize, a bit embarrassed, introduced, "This is my partner, your future aunt, Comrade Xu Rulan?"

Xinyan saw his expression and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, fearing her uncle would hold a grudge later.

Smiling, she asked Xu Rulan, "So, how should Junjun and I address you now?"

She had heard about Xu Rulan from her grandmother yesterday. This young woman’s family had arranged a marriage for her when she was young, but later due to issues with background, there were problems, and the man’s family broke off the engagement.

Her fiancé initially firmly opposed it, but eventually succumbed to reality and married someone chosen by his family, supposedly a suitable match.

Xu Rulan is also a fiery character; she immediately applied to go to a remote rural area to support rural construction. However, she was quite lucky as she signed up early and was assigned to a farm-run elementary school as a teacher.

She just never found someone she clicked with until she met Gu Yize after returning to Beijing. Both talented individuals started by appreciating each other, and as they interacted more, perhaps due to their similarly turbulent lives, they developed a mutual understanding.

After all, they knew how difficult it was to meet someone at this age whom you could converse with and feel mutually attracted to. So, they finally ended up together.

From the looks of them, after meeting the family this time, they were ready to finalize everything.

Upon hearing Xinyan’s words, Xu Rulan didn’t hesitate: "You should ask your uncle about that."

Gu Yize’s eyes were full of joy: "What are you waiting for, go ahead and call her."

Xinyan tugged her brother’s hand: "Call her Aunt."

The little guy, following his sister’s cue, adorably said, "Aunt."

Xinyan also followed up with, "Aunt, welcome."

As they were talking, Old Madam Gu peered out from the kitchen: "What are you all doing standing in the yard? Quickly come inside to warm up."

Gu Wanqing also came out of the kitchen holding a fruit platter: "Come, come, come inside and sit."

Xu Rulan followed them inside graciously, making Xinyan grow increasingly fond of this soon-to-be aunt.

Once seated, everyone started chatting.

Xu Rulan is now working at the same place as her uncle, but she is involved in research. The two met because of work.

Soon dinner was served. It wasn’t every day her son met a like-minded female comrade, so Old Madam Gu was naturally very pleased.

A meal ensured everything was well taken care of.

After the meal, the talk naturally turned to marriage, and after exchanging a glance with Gu Yize, Xu Rulan said, "My parents have already met Yize, and they have no objections."

As soon as she said that, Old Madam Gu immediately asked, "In that case, why not take advantage of your current less busy schedule to get married? When will your family be available for us to come and propose formally?"

Xu Rulan didn’t agree directly: "Aunt, I need to check my family’s schedule when I go back. I’ll discuss it with Yize later."

Old Madam Gu couldn’t contain her smile: "Of course, of course."

Gu Yize sent Xu Rulan home, and everyone began discussing the bridal gifts to prepare for the proposal the next day.

Xu Rulan is efficient. When Gu Yize returned after sending her home, he brought back news: "Dad, Mom, when I dropped Rulan off, I happened to meet Uncle Xu. Rulan’s second brother is leaving Beijing on the seventh, and Uncle Xu suggested setting the proposal on the sixth."

Mr. Gu laughed: "The sixth is great, double happiness! But it seems we’ll have to move Junjun’s birthday banquet to the evening."

The little guy didn’t understand what everyone was talking about. He just saw everyone laughing, so he joined in, "Yay! Cake."

Xinyan laughed and poked his forehead: "Your memory is really good, you remembered what we told you before the New Year, you little gourmand."

Mr. Gu looked at his son: "Yize, have your sister make a list. Don’t overlook anything."

Gu Yize nodded: "Okay."

So, it was decided, and the next morning, all the gifts were prepared, just waiting for the sixth day to formally propose.
