Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1898 - 1899: It’s Really Not What You Think

"I know... it’s... it’s not your fault." Tian Niu stammered nervously, "Could you let go of my hand, please?"

As Tian Niu finished speaking, Hong Mei let go, and the handkerchief in her hand drifted down to the ground.

Seeing this, both of them squatted down simultaneously to pick up the handkerchief. Unexpectedly, they moved too swiftly and their heads bumped firmly against each other.

Hong Mei’s body lost balance, and Tian Niu reached out to grab her, but his movement was too large, and he accidentally knocked over the long table.

With a crash, all the wonton bowls on the table fell to the ground and shattered.

The commotion they caused drew the attention of the people around them.

Seeing this, Tian Niu hurriedly stood up and apologized to the wonton seller’s wife, "Sorry... sorry... I’ll pay for all the damaged items here."

"No need!" The wife was a straightforward person, speaking openly and quickly, "I was wondering why the Gan Family girl was sitting here so early in the morning not leaving, turns out she was waiting for you... Young man, you’re nice, look honest and sturdy, obviously a sincere person. Gan Tian has a good eye..."

"Madam, you’re mistaken, we actually just ran into each other on the street..." Tian Niu knew the madam misunderstood their relationship and quickly explained.

"You don’t have to explain to me. Old Mr. Gan is really nice, and has a good temper, he’ll definitely like you when he sees you." The wife continued chattering self-absorbedly.

Hong Mei saw Tian Niu’s face turned red, and quickly helped him out: "Madam, you’re really mistaken. We’re definitely not like what you think."

She feared if she pulled too close to Tian Niu, she might scare him away, and approaching him again afterwards would be troublesome.

"Not like what? Not boyfriend and girlfriend? Alright, don’t explain, I may be old but my eyes are not blind at all. You two obviously have mutual feelings, I can see it clearly." The wife chuckled, regardless if she saw it or not, she truly wished to help this Gan Family girl arrange a good marriage.

"Madam..." Hong Mei was suddenly speechless.

Tian Niu was also extremely embarrassed.

The air temporarily stagnated, a gentle breeze blew by, but couldn’t dissipate the blush on their faces.

"Sis-in-law, I’m going to give my brother a good beating, don’t stop me!" Tian Niu’s sister couldn’t suppress her feelings watching from the side and geared up to give Tian Niu a piece of her mind.

In her view, Gu Shuangshuang was an excellent sister-in-law. Though occasionally fiery and carefree, her actions towards her and her family were impeccably good.

Having lived in the village for so many years, she’s accustomed to how sisters-in-law get along, and she could guarantee that no one did a better job than Gu Shuangshuang.

Such an excellent sister-in-law is a treasure, if her own brother wrongs her, never mind Gu Shuangshuang being upset, Tian Niu’s sister herself would never allow it.

"Don’t go." According to Gu Shuangshuang’s usual fiery temper, she would certainly rush over, first give Gan Tian a couple of slaps, then beat up Tian Niu decisively.

However, if things escalated that way, she worried it would negatively impact Tian Niu.

It could affect his future in the military.

In Tian Niu’s own words, besides being a soldier for life, he didn’t want to pursue any other career.

For Tian Niu’s future and for Nannan, Gu Shuangshuang had to swallow her pride.
