Chapter 627: Mother and Son Talk

Naturally, the other brothers would not just sit here and watch Gu Wenheng and his family eat.

The return of Gu Wenheng's family also means that there are many chores waiting for them.

After arranging the people who were accompanying them, Xie Ruyi took a few of his brothers and sisters to help clean up the house. It seemed that they would not return to Fu County today. The courtyard of Lao Qi and his family would definitely not be able to accommodate them, so they all emptied their guest rooms to accommodate the people.

Not long after we finished eating, several elders from the Gu Sanbu tribe arrived.

When they saw the familiar Gu Wenheng, they felt a little strange and even a little timid.

As an official in a higher position, even though Gu Wenheng had tried his best to restrain himself, he still shocked everyone.

After addressing all the elders one by one and asking the two children to come over and pay their respects, everyone was suddenly stuck and didn't know how to start.

"Lord Gu is back. Did you have a smooth journey?" Gu Sanbu asked first.

"Third Grandfather, isn't this embarrassing for me?" Gu Wenheng personally helped him to the main seat, "You should call me Old Seven, so I'll be more used to it."

Gu Sanbu naturally didn't want to be estranged from this young man, "Seventh Brother, I'm used to being called by everyone. Tell Third Grandpa, how have you been these years? Are you doing well? The journey is long, and the clan can't send anyone to visit you."

The most important thing is that the younger generation has not yet been trained, and there is no way to get people to be around them and learn more from them.

Gu Wenheng, "Everything was fine, except that I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but everything went smoothly afterwards.

I have not been able to stay in the village these years, and my family is well cared for by the elders.”

"Alas, we still haven't taken good care of you!" Gu Sanbu sighed, "After your father's legs were injured, he could only lie on the kang. Have you gone to see him?"

Li Cuicui stood by and curled her lips. Fortunately, her son was filial, otherwise he would have left some negative comments.

Gu Wenheng said with a heavy face, "I have already gone in to pay my respects and chatted with my father for a while. Elders, rest assured that we brothers will take good care of him.

It’s just that I don’t have much time to rest here, so I may not be able to fulfill my filial duties to him.”

Gu Sanbu just wanted to show his attitude, so how could he dare to let the most promising person in the tribe stay at home.

Even though he knew some of his nephew's situation, he still played dumb.

"It's enough for you to have the intention. What's more, you send so many gifts back every year, which is enough to support your parents. The rest can be contributed by your other brothers.

You're working hard outside, and you're still worrying about things at home, that's not okay."

Gu Wenheng clenched his fist and covered his mouth. "I will follow the teachings of the elders. It's a pity that I didn't have enough time to fulfill my filial duty to my father this time. I hope the elders will forgive me."

Gu Sanbu quickly said to the people present, "We all understand this. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. Besides, you are also showing filial piety in a different way. Others will not say anything."

…

By the time the sun was setting, Gu Yuanjin and his team had arranged a few more tables for the feast, and everyone left after eating and drinking their fill.

Li Cuicui looked at Gu Wenheng's tired face and immediately said, "If there is anything, we can talk about it when we are free. You should go back and have a rest."

As for Jin Qianqian, she had already said goodbye and gone home with her two children when Gu Bencan fell asleep on the wet nurse.

"Mom, is my dad like this every day?" Thinking of the knocking sounds coming from the side room during dinner just now, Gu Wenheng asked, pressing his forehead.

"He did that on purpose. Whenever someone eats at our place, he makes this kind of noise. We're all used to it.

You just saw that these people in the tribe only went in to say hello, and no one was willing to pay attention to him."

"Mom, if you feel unhappy, why don't you move to my yard and live there." Gu Wenheng knew that his original mother had a hard life and felt a little distressed.

Now that I’m old, I have to face such ancient rocks all day long. It’s better to avoid them and live a more comfortable life.

Li Cuicui shook her head and said, "Mother knows you are doing this for my own good. I have lived this way all my life. Besides, I am not the one who is suffering now. Why should I avoid you?"

Thinking that she shouldn't let her son get involved in this, Li Cuicui smiled and changed the subject, "I'm relieved to see that your family is all well.

We should have a conscience when we do things. You should remember the kindness that Jin has given you and not be as heartless as your father."

Gu Wenheng, "Mom, I know everything.

It’s just that I may not be able to be with you to fulfill my filial duties in the days ahead. If you are willing, I will take you with me to take up my new post.”

Li Cuicui, "Mom is old now, so I won't join you in the fun anymore.

Besides, you have several older brothers at home, so even if you live with your son, it won’t be your turn.”

Li Cuicui laughed particularly happily at this moment, "Before, I was a boy and gave birth to you, and some people got jealous and said sour words behind your back.

Having too many sons means they are all debts. Maybe our Gu family will have a few more bachelors.

Now, looking at the saying that having many children means more blessings, it is true.”

It was really difficult for Gu Wenheng to explain to the old lady that she shouldn't have the idea of favoring boys over girls.

But he also knew that the old lady was just speaking casually and she had never treated the maids in the family badly.

"There are so many people here today, and I haven't even recognized all of our children yet. When they grow up, I may not even be able to recognize them if they walk on the street."

After hearing what he said, Li Cuicui sighed and said, "You have been away from home for a few years, and this village has experienced many new additions to its population.

Most of your nephews and nieces are also engaged.

This is all thanks to you, my uncle. I found a pretty good in-law.

I didn't let them come over to meet you today, let's have them come over to greet you tomorrow."

Gu Wenheng naturally agreed, holding the old lady's hand as he walked towards his yard, "No news about Le Tian yet?"

Li Cuicui was in a low mood. The whole family was together, but there was no news about her eldest grandson. "Not yet. Your eldest brother and his friends often go out to inquire about him, but they don't know where Le Tian is now.

If you have the chance, please help me find out about it. This is my biggest regret now.

I wonder if Le Tian can come back before I close my eyes, so that I can see him again. "

It is said that parents-in-law love their eldest grandson, and this is absolutely true. Not only Li Cuicui cares about their first grandson, but even the heartless Gu Dashi would occasionally say a few words about him.

“I also asked the people below to pay attention, but it’s hard to find someone in such a huge crowd.

I wonder if my eldest brother has sent people to our hometown to look for us? Maybe the child will go back when he can’t find us anymore.”
