Chapter 247: A Little Secretly Happy

Gu Yinzhu and his wife really misunderstood.

Su He and Gu Jianhua were just being polite when they said this, what else could they say? Besides, since they had invited Second Uncle Gu to Beijing, they must have thought everything through.

The main thing is that Uncle Gu can’t do much to help at his age. If Wu Sanfeng and Gu Yinzhu opened a restaurant, it would be fine, and Uncle Gu could help. But if they opened a clothing store, what can an old man like Uncle Gu do?

It's just like taking a stroll in the park or going fishing like my father.

In short, no matter how unwilling Wu Sanfeng and Gu Yinzhu were, Uncle Gu was going to stay in Beijing.

Second Uncle Gu didn't like staying at home. He didn't know anyone when he first came to Beijing. He had nothing to do, so he often came to the pancake shop to hang out. He had a lot to talk about with his nephew Gu Jianhua.

Whenever I went to the market to buy some fruit, I would bring it back for Gu Jianhua to eat.

Su He thought, people are really strange. They don't like something when they are young, but they like it when they are old. When they were young, Second Uncle Gu didn't treat Gu Jianhua so close.

The four elders from Changyi and Changan went to the Ice City in early July, played there for a month, and returned at the end of July.

"We stayed in the Ice City for just one week, then went to Dalian to play and see the sea."

Mr. Gu and his three children are really satisfied with their current life. I never thought they could still see the sea. I really hope they can be in good health and live a few more years.

There are 34 provinces in our motherland, and they have visited at least one-third of them.

Su He smiled and said, "You guys are so cool, is Dalian fun?"

"It's fun. Mom and Dad, you can take your younger brothers and sisters there in winter." Chang'an said.

Chang Yi: "Yes, it's too hot in summer."

Su He, "As for traveling, it's best to go in October, when the weather is clear and cool, but we don't have time in October."

You can only go during the winter and summer vacations.

Changjun and Changhuan said to their two children, "Mom, let's go in winter. We haven't seen the sea yet."

Su He, "Okay, okay, starting next year you can go traveling with your sisters and brothers."

"You can go during the winter and summer vacations, and your father and I will look after the store."

She and Gu Jianhua are now at the struggling age, so let their parents and children travel and wait until they are old to travel.

Mother Gu said, "No need, Xiaohe, you two can go traveling during the winter vacation and look around. We can just take care of this bakery."

Su He said, "No need, Mom and Dad. You are all grown up, how can I let you see it every year?"

"By the way, Mom and Dad, my second uncle is here."

Father Gu was surprised, "Why is he here? Is he here to see Beijing?"

Su He, "No, I came to Beijing to retire."

"You don't know, Brother Yinzhu and Sister Sanfeng opened a clothing store..."

Gu's parents knew that Gu Li opened a clothing store, and Wu Sanfeng, their mother, helped them. Unexpectedly, they also opened one.

Mother Gu asked, "So, these two took your uncle to Beijing to take care of him in his old age?"

“That’s right.”

"Second uncle comes here every day to see if you have come back." said Gu Jianhua.

Father Gu muttered, "What are you waiting for us to come back for?"

Gu's mother smiled and said, "Of course he wants to chat with your brother. He just came to Beijing and doesn't know anyone. If not you, who else can he chat with?"

That was indeed the case. The next day, Second Uncle Gu came again, and this time he met Father Gu and the others.

What a great chat.

From then on, Uncle Gu followed behind his father. Whenever his father went fishing, he would go too.

Mr. Gu felt uncomfortable but couldn't say it out loud since he didn't do anything after all. However, as he felt uncomfortable, he began to feel better.

Whenever his other fishing friends asked him about Uncle Gu, he would say they were brothers, and secretly add that he was his stepmother's son.

As human beings, even brothers have to be compared, let alone those born to a stepmother, so people will unconsciously compare the two of them.

A fishing buddy who was close to Gu's father said, "Your disciples and grandchildren are not as promising as yours!"

Father Gu didn't mean to show off, but when they went fishing together, plus he had an accent, people couldn't help asking him questions. When they asked, they knew that he was from Mongolian Province, so why did he come to Beijing? Father Gu had to tell the story from the beginning.

Then I found out that his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were all taking college entrance exams, and that his daughter-in-law was a teacher at Peking University.

Then the anglers took the initiative to tell other old men who were fishing about his family affairs.

"This old man is amazing. There are several college graduates in his family."

In the past, he went fishing with Su's father and his wife. His father-in-law was even better than him, with four children and several grandchildren who were all capable.

People only say that their children are filial, and now Uncle Gu is here.

When asked, he said it was his younger brother, born to his stepmother. When asked about his family situation, he said there was only one college student.

After hearing so much about the family stories of Su and Gu, Gu's fishing friends felt that in their eyes, having a college student in a family was nothing special.

That's the feeling.

So Mr. Gu was secretly happy.

He has let go of the past, but that doesn't mean he doesn't remember it.

Let his father and stepmother see whose family has a promising future. The descendants of their beloved son are not as promising as his descendants.

What can Uncle Gu say about this? The fact is that he has given up and doesn't care about face or anything like that. He just cares about his own happiness.

It has been more than a month since I came to Beijing. Uncle Gu and Wu Sanfeng and Gu Yinzhu mentioned the issue of one hundred yuan a month for their retirement allowance.

Wu Sanfeng was speechless, "Dad, we don't have that much money to give you!"

Gu Yinzhu said, "That's right, Dad. We rent this shop and house."

Uncle Gu didn't care, "Don't think I don't know how much money you make a month. Little He Jianhua gives you two hundred yuan a month for pocket money, and that's two hundred yuan per person."

"Besides that, I also paid for your uncle and his family to travel."

"I asked you for a hundred, but you refused."

Wu Sanfeng was so angry, "Dad, can we be like them? They have several stores and make tens of thousands a month, but how much do we make this month?"

They were doing well with a net profit of more than a thousand yuan a month, and the shop had just opened.

Uncle Gu said, "So I didn't ask you for 200, I asked for 100!"

Gu Yinzhu, "Dad, what are you doing with all this money? You don't have anywhere to spend it."

Uncle Gu said, "Why do you care about me? Just give it to me. This is your responsibility."

He had asked Jianhua Xiaohe, the clothing store could make a minimum of 100 yuan a day, and they earned back that 100 yuan in a day.

Still reluctant to give it.

These two unfilial sons!

Make Uncle Gu angry!

"Dad, we can't give you a hundred. Fifty a month is the most."

Wu Sanfeng compromised. She couldn't stand being compared to Su He.

Uncle Gu said, "Then I'll give you fifty first. When your business is good, I'll give you one hundred."

Even though he felt that fifty was almost enough, he couldn't say it out loud.

Wu Sanfeng, "........"

After Uncle Gu left, Gu Yinzhu comforted his wife, "Dad probably just wants to save face in front of Uncle Gu. You see, he is so old now, and he probably doesn't have much to spend money on. When Dad passes away, the money will still be ours, just like putting it in a bank."

Wu Sanfeng felt better now.
