Chapter 269 The Envy of Qingshui Village

"Hao Yan!"

Bai Haoyan finally became serious after being called by his brother, "I didn't say anything. Don't you want them to go back home quickly?"

"You can't talk to your sister like that!"

Bai Haoyan nodded reluctantly.

Li Mumu was used to the boy's arrogance. "Two brothers, I wish you all the best on your journey."

"Look at my sister." Bai Haochu smiled and touched her head. "Yes, we will also wait for my sister to return in Shangjing City. Then we will take you out to play."

"It's a deal."

"See you there."

Li Mumu was about to make a pinky promise, but was stopped by Xie Xun, "It's getting late, they should go back, otherwise it will be dark."

Li Mumu wanted to say, "Not really? Will a pinky promise take a long time?"

The two brothers of the Bai family did not insist, "Xie Xun, we will meet in the capital."

Li Mumu wasn't sure whether they knew Xie Xun's identity. She thought that the old man of the Bai family probably didn't tell them.

Otherwise, the two brothers shouldn't have looked like that.

On the way back, the two brothers walked one in front and one behind, and Bai Haoyan didn't look very happy.

"Reluctant?"

"How could that be?" Bai Haoyan snorted. He was born in the north. His family had fallen into decline when he was born, and he had never experienced the prosperity of the capital.

He knew from the beginning that his whole family was looking forward to returning to the capital as soon as possible, but now that the day had finally come, he didn't know why he was not happy at all.

He couldn't tell whether it was because of the uncertainty of the unknown or because he really didn't want to leave the place where he had lived for so many years.

"Sister Mumu and the others will come back sooner or later. Have you forgotten what grandpa said?"

"Who said anything about her?" Bai Haoyan turned away quickly to prevent his blushing face from being seen.

"I think you're the one who can't bear to leave him, right?" Bai Haoyan raised an eyebrow. "You saved the New Year's money your family gave you and bought him a gift. You're really good to her."

Bai Haochu cleared his throat. "The relationship between our two families is already special. Plus, our family isn't as wealthy as theirs, so we're just being sincere. They've helped us so much and allowed us to study here for free, so it's only right that we give her a gift. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to buy gifts for our elders with that little money."

"You've explained too much. Did I really come to the truth?" Bai Haoyan looks nonchalant, but he is very delicate in his heart.

"Let's go quickly, or it will be really dark."

Bai Haoyan snorted coldly, "Actually, that girl is quite likable, not to mention she has done a favor for our family."

"That's Xie Xun. He looks so cold. Every time we talk to my sister, he's always by our side."

Bai Haochu smiled faintly, "He is my sister's child husband, so naturally I have to follow him closely."

"I don't think she's that great, and my sister is so young. When she returns to the capital, with the status of the Gu family, there will definitely be many people who want to marry her. It's not like she can't get married. What's Grandpa Gu thinking?"

"Alright, the elders have their own considerations. Let's stop speculating. We should wait until we get to the capital and find some good things to send to my sister."

Bai Haoyan nodded, "That makes sense."

The country roads passed through one village after another. After they left Ningxi Village and walked a few miles, they saw a woman holding a child.

The child in her arms was crying loudly, but the woman didn't seem to care.

Bai Haochu was kind-hearted. He stopped and looked at the woman.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a child cry?" the woman shouted.

"Why are you so fierce?" Bai Haoyan replied unconvinced.

The woman rolled her eyes and continued walking forward, still not caring whether the child was crying heartbreakingly or not.

"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry, damn Zhaodi, I think you're just itching for trouble."

When Bai Hao first saw that the woman was very fierce, he gave up the idea of ​​going forward to ask her.

"Forget it, let's go back quickly."

"That little girl..."

"We can't control it. When we become successful in the future and let the people live and work in peace and have a good life, and everyone has money to spend, then things like this will happen less often." Although Bai Haoyan looks cynical, he has great ambitions in his heart.

On this side, Li Mumu was humming a song as she strolled in the yard. There was nothing she could do. She had eaten too much and her stomach was uncomfortable because she couldn't digest it.

Xie Xun followed at this time, "I asked you to eat less, but you refused. Are you full?"

Li Mumu smiled awkwardly, "That's great."

“It’s so delicious, but you can’t eat it like this.” Li Mumu also thought so.

But my second aunt’s cooking skills are so good that you can’t help but eat more even after you are full.

"The Bai family has returned, and you seem reluctant to leave those two brothers?"

"How could that be?"

If he hadn't said it, she would have forgotten it. "What else can I say? Why don't you let me make a pinky promise with them? This is to build relationships, so that we can..."

"What in the future?"

"Ahem..." Li Mumu coughed and almost said something she shouldn't have said.

In the future, those two became important officials in the court, and they were also good people. If they kept in touch more often, the friendship they developed in their childhood would naturally become extraordinary.

The Bai family left in a hurry, and Mr. Bai did not come in person. The meaning was very clear. Naturally, he hoped that Mr. Gu would not go to see them off.

The Gu family understood what he meant, and just silently wished them peace and success in their hearts.

After all, going back to the capital first would mean facing more dangers, which might not actually be a good thing.

And staying in the countryside, like Gu's family, with food and drink, is not a bad thing.

As soon as the Bai family left, many people heard the news and came to care about the Gu family, asking them if they were leaving.

The Gu family members all changed the subject.

That day, Feng Lan came to deliver some vegetables to the Gu family. They were actually some radishes and cabbages stored for the winter, as well as a few small fruits from their own fruit trees.

They couldn't even bear to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

Feng Lan's two children are here, so she dares to talk to the Gu family even more. In fact, it's not just them. Many people in Qingshui Village also became interested after knowing that her two children are studying here.

Knowing that she came to Ningxi Village, they asked her to say something good about her.

Feng Lan is not someone who doesn't know her limits. Her own child is already causing a lot of trouble for others here, so how could she cause more trouble for them?

However, in comparison, the Gu family's contribution to Ningxi Village is envied by the people of Qingshui Village.

Even the village chief was wondering why the Gu family didn't end up in Qingshui Village when they were clearly two families.

Their village must give the best things to the Gu family.

These are what Feng Lan said.

Li Mumu squatted aside and listened, but couldn't help but smile with disdain.

They said this because they saw that the Gu family was useful. The Gu family had been bullied a lot because they were weak at that time and had suffered many illnesses during the exile, and some had died or been injured.

The best?

They didn't even leave the best for the Gu family.
