Grandpa Gu carried Gu Ren around the village. Over the past year, his chronic illness had been completely cured.
Grandma Xiao has been diagnosed as being no different from a normal person. If nothing unexpected happens, she can live for several more decades, which makes Grandma Gu extremely happy.
To stay healthy, Grandpa Gu would take his grandson for a walk around the village when it wasn't raining.
When they arrived at Grandma Xiao's house at the village entrance, they happened to encounter the Huo family's carriage.
"Old man, could you tell me which road leads to the Gu family's residence?" the carriage driver stopped and asked.
"Is there only one Gu family in our village? Which one are you looking for?" Grandpa Gu asked. Gu Ren also looked at the carriage, trying to see who was inside.
Grandpa Huo lifted the car curtain, a smile on his face, and was about to answer when he saw Grandpa Gu and paused for a moment.
Grandpa Gu also felt that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember him for a moment.
"Old man, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Old Madam Huo tugged at Old Master Huo, having also noticed something was wrong.
"Ahem, well, we're looking for Gu Shouxin's parents," Old Master Huo said, snapping out of his reverie.
"Are you friends that the second son met while he was away?" Grandpa Gu asked, puzzled.
The second son in his family knows people who are older than him.
"You're Gu Shouxin's father?" Old Master Huo said as he got out of the car, then helped Old Madam Huo up.
“Exactly.” Grandpa Gu nodded.
"Haha, brother, we are Huo Junhao's grandparents. We had planned to bring the children along for the visit, but we ran into A Yuan and her four girls on the way, so my grandson and granddaughter went with them, leaving just the two of us to come by ourselves," Old Master Huo said with a laugh.
"So it's Grand Tutor Huo! My apologies for not recognizing you!" Grandpa Gu hugged Gu Ren and bowed.
For some reason, Old Master Huo instinctively avoided the greeting.
Gu Ren knew why Grandpa Gu was bowing; this old man Huo was Grandpa Gu's teacher in the palace when he was still healthy.
Old Huo served as the teacher of two emperors, the current emperor and the former emperor, as well as the teacher of a crown prince, who was Grandpa Gu's twin brother. Before Grandpa Gu fell ill, Old Huo was Grandpa Gu's teacher.
Old Huo is over sixty years old this year, but he's still quite healthy. I heard he even got into a fight with Old Peng last time.
Gu Ren sized up the Huo family elders.
Looking at Gu Ren's bright, darting eyes, Old Madam Huo was very pleased: "This child is your little grandson, isn't he? He's so adorable and clever!"
Grandpa Gu glanced at Gu Ren and laughed, "That's just how this child is. He likes to stare at unfamiliar people or things."
With that, Grandpa Gu led the two of them home. The elderly couple didn't take a car and walked with him instead.
...
Upon arriving in the prefectural city, Lu Zheng led everyone to Gu Sangu's place first.
Upon learning that the four sisters were going to celebrate Li Muyan's birthday tonight, Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu, who were neither familiar with Li Muyan nor knew him, decided not to go.
Anyway, Huo Junhao felt that he was more familiar with Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu's husband, and their children.
He planned to bring his sister to play mahjong with Aunt Gu, and Lu Zheng would also be there, so the four of them could make a table.
Huo Yanyu looked at the four sisters with an exaggerated expression: "Why is God so cruel? I just met you sisters today, and you have to tear us apart. It's so heartless!"
"Oh, my heart aches!" Huo Yanyu clutched her chest, turned around, and said, "I don't want to say goodbye, I'm leaving!"
The four Gu sisters: Drama queens!
