Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 267 - 266: The Wedding Can’t Be Simple (Part 2)

About a minute later, he remembered something very important.

He recalled that his grandson’s wife had a name with "Nian" in it.

He asked Xu Niannian, "Little girl, are you Baby Nian?"

"Old grandfather, my name is Xu Niannian, Baby Nian is what my mother likes to call me."

Xu Niannian...

This name instantly struck the old man’s memory, yes yes yes, his grandson’s wife was named Xu Niannian.

No wonder, no wonder their family was living here.

So she was his grandson’s wife.

That unfilial descendant actually knew how to use these tricks to chase after girls, the old man immediately smiled kindly and said to Xu Niannian, "Good girl, I am your grandfather."

Xu Niannian: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Old grandfather, please don’t make jokes like this, my grandfather has already passed away."

The old man suddenly became anxious, why wouldn’t the girl believe what he said.

When the old man got anxious, he spoke incoherently, puffing his beard and glaring at her as he said, "Girl, I really am your grandfather, that unfilial descendant, my grandson, I am his grandfather, and yours too."

Xu Niannian suddenly felt very sorry for the old grandfather, thinking that he must have mistaken her for one of his family members.

It is common for elderly people to reach a stage where they do not recognize people clearly.

Xu Niannian hurried to comfort him, "Old grandfather, please don’t worry, I’ll take you to find your family in a little while, okay?"

The old man was panting, "You are my grandson’s wife."

Xu Niannian: "...Old grandfather, I’m not even married yet?"

By this time, even the other people in the room looked at the old man with pity.

Just then, Jin Yu’s voice came from outside the courtyard, approaching from afar, "Niannian, have you seen an old man coming over here..."

Jin Yu walked to the door just in time to see the old man, and exclaimed in surprise, "Grandfather?"

The old man: "Unfilial descendant!"

Jin Yu: "..."

How had he become an unfilial descendant.

Xu Niannian and the rest of the family looked at Jin Yu, then at the old man, bewildered.

It took them a long time to understand the situation, especially Xu Niannian, how had she randomly found Jin Yu’s grandfather?

Yang Cuihua was feeling nervous inside, so it was a relative, and fortunately when she thought this old man was strange earlier, she hadn’t chased him away.

Jin Yu had been looking for his grandfather for a long time and wondered if the old man might have come to the old house.

He came over with a try-and-see attitude, not expecting that the old man really had come.

The old man turned his head away arrogantly and said to Xu Niannian, "I don’t recognize this unfilial descendant, kick him out."

Jin Yu: "..."

Xu Niannian: "..."

It seemed that he really was Jin Yu’s grandfather.

Once she was sure he was Jin Yu’s grandfather, Xu Niannian’s attitude toward the old man became even more accommodating.

Despite the old man’s refusal to acknowledge Jin Yu, Xu Niannian managed to coax him into finishing his breakfast.

She thought it would take some effort, but the old man ate up surprisingly quickly.

Without any need for Xu Niannian’s persuasion, he finished his bowl in no time and never stopped smiling while eating his noodles.

He ate with great gusto.

After the meal, the old man decided to stay here instead of returning with Jin Yu. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Jin Yu didn’t want his grandfather to disturb Xu Niannian’s family as the house had been given to him, and naturally, he had the final say.

Jin Yu was determined to drag his grandfather back home no matter what.

Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable for his father-in-law’s family.

Jin Yu felt he could not let his whimsical grandfather make a nuisance of himself here.

Yet the old man stubbornly refused to leave.

Jin Yu pulled up a stool and sat in front of the old man, about to persuade him, when the old man immediately turned his head away, showing Jin Yu the back of his head.

Jin Yu, resigned: "Grandfather, let’s go home, don’t be angry...."

The old man’s lips trembled, "I am not your grandfather, you didn’t even let me come to your wedding, am I still your grandfather?"

Xu Niannian blinked in surprise and looked at Jin Yu.

Jin Yu wore a bewildered expression, what now?

Xu Niannian saw the old man had no desire to talk with Jin Yu, so she simply took Jin Yu out.

"Niannian, what’s wrong?" Jin Yu asked Xu Niannian.

"We’re getting married, why don’t you want Grandfather to come over?"

"Didn’t you say we were just going to get the certificate and not have a banquet?" Jin Yu was even stumped by her question, "If we’re not having a banquet, why have them come over?"

Reminded by his words, Xu Niannian then recalled what she had previously told Jin Yu.

She slapped her forehead in annoyance, "Let’s do it, we’ve already got our marriage certificate, we definitely need to let the villagers know I’m married off. Otherwise, if people start gossiping later, my mom will have to quarrel with them. We’ll get the marriage certificate today, return to the village tomorrow, and have the banquet the day after."

The reason was just as simple, and the joy that had just risen in Jin Yu’s heart was immediately extinguished.

But he wasn’t upset; he knew Xu Niannian needed time to adjust.

However, this was going to be a bit tricky.

"Is time really that tight?" Jin Yu asked. If they were going to have a banquet, he would have to call over the family from the capital. Otherwise, it wouldn’t look good, showing not only a lack of regard for his wife but also inviting criticism from his family later on.

Xu Niannian indeed was running tight on time, with too much to take care of. Having just barely managed to make fifty thousand Liuyue Su to sustain business, she still had other matters to address.

After some thought, she said, "It really is tight. But if you have any other arrangements, you can tell me. I’ll see if I can free up some more time."

Freeing up some time was out of the question.

Upon hearing about moving the date, Jin Yu realized just how foolish his question was.

His wife was about to go back with him to get married, and he had actually thought about postponing it?

Faced with choosing between his wife and relatives, he resolutely left his relatives in the dust.

He replied very briskly, "No need to move it, tomorrow is fine, I’ll go and get things ready."

"Wait..." Xu Niannian thought for a moment. Worried that Jin Yu might make it too grand, she simply said, "The wedding should just be simple, not too grand or exaggerated."

Even though it was one of the most important moments of her life, she didn’t have much of a liking for very grand and imposing affairs.

They were also exhausting.

A wedding, after all, just needs to be acceptable in its formalities.

Jin Yu was actually quite happy to hear that Xu Niannian wanted to have a wedding ceremony; he wanted to throw a big one to give her an unforgettable wedding.

But it turned out she wanted to keep it low-key.

Jin Yu had no choice but to agree, what else could he do?

Once they finished discussing their marriage plans, Xu Niannian remembered Jin Yu’s grandfather and said to Jin Yu, "Since Grandfather doesn’t want to go back with you, just let him stay here, it won’t be a problem."

"No way." When it came to this matter, Jin Yu firmly opposed.

"You don’t know my grandfather. He has a strange temper. If he lives with you guys, he might insist on having your whole family go jogging first thing in the morning. And if anyone doesn’t jog, he’ll think they’re becoming worthless and might scold them endlessly."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xu Niannian was surprised.

Jin Yu thought about it, and it seemed his grandfather really was that exaggerated.

In the end, the old man was coaxed by Jin Yu to return home.

The reason was simple: Jin Yu told him he had decided to have a wedding ceremony, asking the old man to go home and discuss the following procedures with his mother and to be the officiant.

The old man, upon hearing this, felt that his grandson still cared about him.

Feeling burdened with a heavy responsibility, he briskly followed Jin Yu away.

Not only that, but before leaving, he demanded a jar of Butter Sauce from Xu Niannian to take with him.

Seeing him hold it as if it were a treasure, Jin Yu said helplessly, "Grandfather, let me carry it for you."

The old man burst out yelling, "Don’t even think about it."

His booming voice was powerful enough to shake mountains; yelling at someone from the side of the road, everyone inside the house could hear him loud and clear.

Jin Yu and Xu Niannian informed their respective families about the marriage.

This brought strong opposition from both sides.

"No way!"

"No way!"

The same words came from both Yang Cuihua and Wu Lan.

Wu Lan pointed at Jin Yu’s head, "A wedding is a big deal; it can’t be low-key. No, it must be high-profile. Jin Yu, let me tell you, Niannian seems like a great girl, and you also agreed to the marriage; how can you shortchange her? I’m telling you, the wedding must be a big occasion."

On the other side, Yang Cuihua was also speaking to Xu Niannian, "Baby Nian, a wedding is an important event; we have to do it splendidly, not simply. We can’t have it simple. Others do it simply because they are genuinely out of money and have no other choice; our family is not lacking money now, and the Jin household is wealthy, so not only should the wedding not be simple, but it should also make the entire village envious."

Both mothers opposed in unison, and their attitudes were particularly strong.

So, when Jin Yu and Xu Niannian arrived at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their household registration booklets, sitting in the car, they hesitated, wanting to speak but stopped themselves.

Xu Niannian was wrapped up by Yang Cuihua and had no way out, while Jin Yu was convinced by Wu Lan, not because he heeded Wu Lan’s words, but because he found her argument especially sensible.

How could he shortchange Niannian?

Given the status of his family, if they kept it simple, people might think he didn’t value his wife, and if they talked behind his back, what would he do?
