BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1514: Persuaded!
“The children are doing this for your good, why would you think they despise you? If they despised you, would they want you to marry again? They want to see you with a companion! Isn’t filial piety enough? You’re asking for too much!” Xue Dafu laughed as he stood on the bench and pretended to hit him.
Xue Dagui chuckled and said, “I’m telling you the truth. Help me talk to Gouzi. I don’t want a wife anymore. If I wanted one, I would have remarried a long time ago. Why wait until now to get married? Anyway, I still have the same mindset as I did before. I don’t feel safe whether they’re good-looking or not.”
“If you were willing to live in town with them, they wouldn’t have such thoughts!” Xue Dafu said. “They are more or less worried about you being alone at home. Although you are not that old now, you can be considered an old person. Moreover, as you age, you will feel more lonely. It is no wonder that they are worried. I’ll help you talk to Gouzi later. He doesn’t want you to marry someone now. He just had that thought of seeing you alone. If you’re unwilling to get married, I’m sure he’ll understand.”
Xue Dagui immediately hugged his brother. “You’re the best! I had a great time talking to the rest, but they kept advising me to marry another one!”
Xue Dafu was still cleaning up the old couplets on the bench. He almost fell off the bench when Xue Dagui hugged him. Fortunately, Xue Dagui also knew that it was dangerous to push him further. He only hugged his brother casually and quickly let go. Then, he smiled mischievously. Xue Dafu looked at him and could only shake his head and sigh.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. Xue Dagui had not changed in many aspects.
At this moment, Xue Gouzi rolled up his sleeves and was handling the chickens that had just been killed. He laughed and shouted, “Dad, I heard everything! I’m not st*pid. You must have said it so loudly to him on purpose so that I could hear you! You knew that we were killing chickens in the courtyard! Alright, alright, alright. There’s no need for him to tell me. We won’t force you to get married, okay? Please don’t be so loud next time. Why is it that every time something happens to our family, the entire village hears about it?”
At the end of his sentence, he started to shake his head and chuckle.
His wife couldn’t stop laughing.
However, Xue Dagui didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He even acted as if his plan had succeeded. “I heard it. You all heard it. The young paparazzo said it himself!”
He wanted everyone to testify.
Then, he hurried to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s side. He picked up Xue Niuniu and said with a salivating face, “Niuniu, you are my precious grandson. Your father and mother have done a great favor. You won’t need to find a companion for Grandpa anymore! I can go home now! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go home.” As he said that, he let Xue Niuniu ride on his shoulder and ‘flew’ home with Xue Niuniu.
It made everyone laugh non-stop.
“Slow down, don’t hurt the baby,” Xue Dafu shouted as he laughed.
Xue Dagui brought Xue Niuniu home quickly and didn’t forget to reply, “He won’t fall!”
After lunch, the family boiled a small bowl of rice paste with couplets pasted on it. Then, they began to paste couplets and hang lanterns. The children fought to paste and hang them because they thought it was fun.
Xue Shi and the others were big kids, so at most, they would have to step on the ladder and be supported by the adults to stick and hang the lanterns. However, Xue Qiansheng and Xue Xingran were still young, so if they wanted to play this game, they could only be carried by the adults. Otherwise, the adults would not be at ease watching them try to climb up.
