Chapter 376: So Far
By seeing the tip of the iceberg, Gu Juyuan knew that his daughter was not being treated unfairly in that other family!
Hot water was boiled and sugar-water eggs were served. Gu Juyuan couldn't refuse, so he washed his hands, wiped his face, and then ate the eggs.
Just before eating, Gu Juyuan said very embarrassedly, "I am sorry to have troubled you with this trip."
Shen Pengfei disagreed, "Look at what you said. You came from so far away and didn't find it troublesome. Why is it troublesome to come here and wipe your hands and drink a bowl of hot water?"
Gu Juyuan was not a good talker, so after being polite to this point, he didn't say anything else.
After Gu Juyuan finished eating the sugar-water eggs, many people from the Shen family came one after another, and Shen Pengfei wanted to welcome the guests.
Gu Juyuan no longer sat in the main hall.
The people who came later were all those people that Shen Pengfei had met. Although Shen Pengfei valued Gu Juyuan, those people would not look down on Gu Juyuan, but he felt uncomfortable sitting there.
So he told Shen Pengfei to just wander around casually.
Shen Pengfei thought about it and decided it was okay, so he said to Gu Shuhe, "Shuhe, take your dad to have a look around the house, the front and back of the yard, and also take a look at where you will live in the future."
Although Gu Shuhe and Shen Tingci are married, this is Gu Juyuan's second visit to the Shen family!
This is where his daughter will live for decades to come. He hasn't carefully considered whether her life will be comfortable or not!
If I come again in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until Gu Shuhe gives birth to a child.
Therefore, Shen Pengfei did not insist on letting Gu Juyuan sit in the main hall.
The Shen family’s house is different from the Gu family’s old house. It is a new bungalow that is popular nowadays.
It is the same as the Gu family’s new house, but looking at the walls, you can tell that it has been built several years ago.
The Shen family has a large yard and many houses.
There are four rooms next to the main room, and two more rooms on the east side.
There is one next to the kitchen, and there are eight rooms in total.
The vegetable garden in the backyard is also very large, and the garlic sprouts, spinach, greens, and Chinese cabbage in the vegetable garden are all growing thrivingly.
Gu Shuhe took Gu Juyuan around everywhere.
Moreover, the Shen family's yard is not made of mud. Half of it is paved with cement, and the other half near the gate is paved with red bricks.
The yard is clean and tidy.
Gu Juyuan looked at it and could only sigh, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are both capable people."
He is capable, so he earned such a fortune for his son.
No matter whether he is an official or something else, first of all, he is capable.
After all, not everyone can be that official.
Gu Juyuan looked at the Shen family's house and land with envy, and said to Gu Shuhe, "Your place is still bigger!"
Gu Shuhe heard this and said, "Their home is not our home!"
Gu Juyuan just smiled after hearing this.
He knew that his daughter had not changed her mind yet!
But as a father, he couldn't tease his daughter, so he didn't say anything else.
They had a banquet at Shen's house at noon, and as soon as the banquet was over, Gu Juyuan prepared to leave.
If he leaves now, he will not be able to catch up with the tractor, so he has to walk back, so the sooner the better.
But Shen Tingci didn’t let him go, “Dad, sit for a while, there will be no one later, I will take you back.”
"Otherwise, you won't have a car to go back now."
Gu Juyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not far, I can just walk!"
"How long will it take?"
"I was assigned to dig drainage canals before. It was far away, but I walked there. It didn't take much time."
But Shen Tingci still didn't listen, "I'll take you there later, isn't it convenient!"
"I don't have anything to do right now anyway!"
After Shen Tingci finished speaking, he asked Gu Shuhe to look at Gu Juyuan first.
"You sit with Dad for a while. I'll take Dad home when I'm done!"
Gu Juyuan still felt it was inappropriate.
Gu Shuhe thought it was nothing, "He can drive anyway, just let him take you!"
"If you walk, how long will you reach your destination?"
"Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
"Sit down!"
"Would you like to eat some melon seeds? I'll go get you some!"
Gu Juyuan shook his head, "No, it will make my mouth peel!"
Gu Shuhe took out a candy from his pocket and said, "Then you can have the candy!"
Gu Juyuan still shook his head and said, "You eat it!"
Gu Shuhe really peeled it and put it in his mouth.
Then the father and daughter sat under the eaves, basking in the afternoon sun, chatting intermittently until all the guests from the Shen family left.
All the guests of the Shen family have left, and the only ones left are their own family members.
Chen Ying was busy packing some things and asked Gu Juyuan to take them with him.
Gu Juyuan didn’t bring it.
Chen Ying told him, "There are some leftover dishes from the banquet inside. They won't be used tomorrow and will go bad after a while."
"If you don't mind, take it back and heat it up for Madam Shu He to eat."
When he heard that it was leftovers, Gu Juyuan reached out to take it, but he felt embarrassed, "I came here and I have to take something back..." His face was full of awkwardness.
Chen Ying said, "He's not an outsider!"
Gu Juyuan didn't say anything else, "Then I'll go back, you guys get busy!"
"Okay, then I won't keep you here. Let Tingci take you back!"
Speaking of Shen Ting's resignation, Gu Juyuan explained, "I can actually walk back very quickly!"
Chen Ying disagreed, "It's such a long way, how long will it take?"
"Besides, it's not impossible to send it!"
"There are ways to send it, why should people suffer!"
"Let Tingci take you there, it's very quick!"
Gu Juyuan didn't say anything else. He greeted the other members of the Shen family, glanced at his daughter, and got into the car.
When he got home, Gu Juyuan discovered that there were no leftovers in the bag.
They were all fried fish, meatballs and other things used in the Shen family’s banquet. They were in good condition and packed in clay jars and placed in bags.
There were also some things that others had bought when they came to the Shen family to pay New Year’s greetings, such as peach cakes.
Zhong Meixian was so angry that she scolded Gu Juyuan, "Are you going there to get money?"
Gu Juyuan felt wronged, "She said it was leftovers!"
"She said yes, so it is?"
"Don't you think about the fact that people might ask you to bring back so many leftovers?"
"What good things can be left from the banquet?"
"Maybe you can take it?"
Gu Juyuan buried his head and said, "I brought everything back..."
Zhong Meixian was annoyed, "I've brought it back, eat it!"
"You raise a daughter, it's your blessing, and I'll still tie your mouth!"
Gu Juyuan felt that Zhong Meixian's words were unpleasant, but he didn't dare to say it.
Because he was the one who brought the things back.
It was Gu Jinfeng who smoothed things over, "It's a thoughtful gesture from the other person, and Dad won't be there very often, so just take him with you!"
Zhong Meixian said nothing more.
That night, Shen Tingci tried again.
Because of the experience of the previous night, Gu Shuhe stopped at the right time and thought Shen Tingci was fine.
Shen Tingci "..."
The next day was the day when Shen Tingyu and Jiang Ruoruo got married.
Jiang Ruoruo was unhappy because of the issue with the four sets of clothes and the fact that the dowry her parents gave was not as much as Gu Shuhe's.
Anyone can see that the bride is wearing a frown!
As soon as the car door opened, the bride got out of the car with a gloomy face, and the groom carried her into the bridal chamber...
Everyone who was originally having a great time seemed to be smiling a little unnaturally because of her sullen face.
Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying, the happy in-laws, are not much better.
