"Uncle Yong, you are father and son. Wait until he comes back and have a talk with him calmly. If he just asks, just give him a perfunctory answer. If he forces you to make a decision, then you can discuss it carefully! It's New Year's Day, harmony is the most important thing. Don't make a scene like last year. It will make others laugh at you!"
Uncle Yong said anxiously, "He's trying to force us to make a decision! He brought his girlfriend back with him too!"
Huo Qianli's heart skipped a beat.
The old man is stubborn and dares to hit him when he gets angry. Gu Chao will definitely not lose face as a man in front of his girlfriend. If this father and son get stubborn, there might be some trouble in Uncle Yong's house during the New Year.
He sat back in his seat with a casual smile, picked up the new teacup Jiang Qingyue gave him, and took a sip leisurely, "I thought it was a big deal! Uncle Yong, don't panic! When will they come back?"
"It may take another hour or so to get home."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Huo Qianli suddenly choked on the water.
After coughing for a long time, he finally recovered. "This matter is simple. You just act like an elder and entertain them with good food and drinks to see what the young couple thinks. Then, if they really want to confront you, you should calm down first and then come to me. Anyway, they have to wait until after the New Year to leave, so we can discuss it slowly."
"That's right!" The villagers of Hushan Village are now convinced of Huo Qianli, and Uncle Yong is no exception. He nodded when he heard it, "Then I'll go back first!"
After taking two steps, he suddenly felt that he had walked too quickly, so he turned around and explained to Huo Qianli, "There's still pig's feet stewing in the house, and my wife is waiting for me to go back and kill a chicken."
Huo Qianli smiled and waved his hand.
When the room was quiet again, Huo Qianli rubbed his brows and looked at Liu Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, what should I choose?"
Liu Xiaoyu said coldly: "Please don't talk to me, this one has to be cut again."
......
At noon, a motorcycle carrying a man and a woman drove into Hushan Village.
The girl on the motorcycle looked around curiously, and Gu Chao said awkwardly: "The conditions are a bit poor, please don't despise it."
The motorcycle taxi driver smiled and said in dialect: "The conditions are still poor. We are envious of them, so how can anyone dislike them?"
Gu Chao pursed his lips. He had lived here for more than ten years. Wasn’t it possible that he didn’t understand whether the conditions were good or not?
Is there anything different about this journey from last year?
Even the truck drivers were too lazy to pay attention to him!
Gu Chao didn't respond, and the motorcycle taxi driver didn't say anything else either. He silently pulled the two of them to the village entrance.
Uncle Yong’s home is not on the road and cannot be reached by motorcycle.
The two had no choice but to pay the money and walk back along the rugged and narrow path along the field ridge carrying their bags, which made Gu Chaoyue feel a little inferior.
The driver of the motorcycle taxi put the money into his wallet and smiled, "When you go to your village committee this afternoon, you will know how powerful your village is."
He turned his head and glanced at the lamppost not far away, shook his head enviously, stepped on the accelerator, turned around and left.
.......
"Brother Tang, when do you plan to go back for the New Year?"
At the lunch table, Gu Daqiang asked.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Tang Yuxuan said with a smile, "What's the matter, Brother Gu wants to see me off?"
Mr. Hu, who had been staying with the expert group in Dongjiang County, has returned directly to Jincheng to celebrate the New Year. Tomorrow is the 29th. Mr. Tang can be regarded as having done his job conscientiously by sticking with it until now.
Gu Daqiang shook his head. "No, I was mainly worried that you would leave too late and Brother Han and Sister Cheng would come and there would be no place to stay."
Tang Yuxuan looked at Gu Haitao resentfully, "Look at your dad, the tea has gone cold before he even left, is that appropriate?"
Gu Haitao laughed and said, "Don't ask me, I just want to have a good New Year."
Huo Qianli raised his glass and said, "Okay, Mr. Tang, you have worked hard and made great contributions. I will give you a good gift no matter what."
Gu Daqiang smiled and raised his glass, "Honestly, Brother Tang, you've worked so hard. This is a toast to you!"
"That's right! This will justify the dozens of pounds I lost over the past year!"
Tang Yuxuan laughed, "Come one by one, let me enjoy this glorious moment slowly."
Gu Daqiang laughed, "Okay, I'll toast to you one by one!"
"Son, pour me a glass too!"
Gu Haitao's mother also spoke with a smile, pushing the atmosphere at the dinner table to its climax.
Just when everyone at the table was having a great time, a greeting came from outside the door.
"Officer Huo, let me tell you something."
At lunch time, Uncle Yong suddenly appeared in front of the Gu family's door with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.
