703: Chapter 692: Enviable Fortune 703: Chapter 692: Enviable Fortune Although it was too dark to see clearly, Tian Niu knew who she was just by her voice.
“Mom!
It’s , Tian Niu.
Why aren’t you staying at ho on such a dark and snowy night?
Why did you co out?”
“I just had dinner and didn’t have much to do.
The day before yesterday, I had a dream that you ca back, so I thought I’d wait here at the entrance of the village to see if I could really wait for you.
And look, I did wait for you today.”
“Yes mom, I’m back,” Tian Niu said as he walked forward.
Gu Shuangshuang got a big scare when she heard it was Tian Niu’s mother and quickly whispered to him, “You better put down quickly!”
“It’s okay!
If my mom sees carrying you, she’ll be overjoyed,” Tian Niu insisted, refusing to let go.
The two were arguing when they reached Tian Niu’s mother.
It wasn’t until they got close that they could clearly see a young girl on Tian Niuniu’s back.
“Oh my!
You gave a fright!
I was wondering what that dark thing was on your back, never expected it to be a person!” Tian Niu’s mom spoke in an interesting way; she looked about fifty percent like Tian Niu.
She was dressed simply, clearly a kind-hearted old lady at a glance.
Gu Shuangshuang silently compared her to her own mother and imdiately felt, in an unkind comparison, that her mother was like an old witch.
Tian Niu himself was amused by his mother’s comnt and chuckled, saying to her, “This girl isn’t just anybody; she is your future daughter-in-law.”
Hearing Tian Niu say this, his mother’s face blossod with joy, “Oh my, I’ve been longing for stars and moons, and finally the day has co.
I’m so happy I don’t know what to say.”
“Aunt!
My na is Gu Shuangshuang, and I’m very happy to et you,” Gu Shuangshuang jumped down from Tian Niu’s back and greeted Tian Niu’s mother politely.
“Just call ‘Auntie’,” said Tian Niu.
“It’s customary to call ‘Auntie’ here.”
Before Gu Shuangshuang could say anything, Tian Niu’s mother went straight on, “Hey, now that you’re said to be the daughter-in-law, why call ‘Auntie’ or ‘Aunt’?
Just call ‘mom’.”
With a single sentence, she made Gu Shuangshuang blush.
“My mom’s just too eager to get married off.
Don’t take it to heart if she seems a bit rushed, just call her ‘Auntie’ it’s fine,” Tian Niu quickly explained to Gu Shuangshuang, fearing she might be offended.
“I’m not upset.
I understand Auntie’s feelings.” Besides, sooner or later he would be hers, and calling her ‘Mom’ was a matter of sooner or later.
“What a good girl!” Tian Niu said with satisfaction.
Though they hadn’t interacted with Gu Shuangshuang much, her intuition told her that Gu Shuangshuang was a very nice girl.
She trusted her son’s judgnt.
After chatting for a bit more at the entrance of the village, the cold night prompted Tian Niu’s mom to hurry them back ho.
When they arrived ho, Tian Niu’s older and younger sisters were tidying up the kitchen, and seeing a pretty girl holding Tian Niu’s hand excited them beyond asure.
“Brother, is this our future sister-in-law?” Tian Niu’s talkative younger sister blurted out the title ‘sister-in-law’ without hesitation.
“Yes, who else would it be?” Tian Niu glanced at Gu Shuangshuang and proudly confird.
“Sister-in-law is really pretty, like soone who just stepped out of a painting,” the younger sister sweetly flattered, amusing both Tian Niu and Gu Shuangshuang.
“Hello, sister-in-law!” The older sister, more reserved and shy, still joyfully greeted her.
In the light of the kerosene lamp, the old lady clearly saw Gu Shuangshuang’s appearance, feeling even more excited than when she got married herself.
Her unimpressive Tian Niuniu found himself a city girl, far prettier than that other girl nad Hua or sothing!
His luck in love was truly not shallow!
