For the sake of his own enjoyable, laid-back life, Gu Renren refrained from arguing with his father and second uncle about his inability to distinguish between chives and scallions.
Uncle Gu's suggestion was unanimously approved by the family.
Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu also thought that they would send their twins to Uncle Gu so that he could take them to the fields.
We need to be down-to-earth!
Wearing work clothes means you're doing real work, while wearing fine clothes means you're a young lady from a wealthy family or a handsome young man.
You can have any kind of temperament you want.
Grandma Gu rarely offered her opinion on matters concerning her grandchildren. She put down her chopsticks and said, "In that case, let's write this into the Gu family's clan precepts! The children of your lineage in Qingyuan must also abide by it. In the future, the title of Marquis of Shannong will be inherited by the youngest son of the eldest branch. When the youngest son grows up, he will lead the next generation in doing these things, and so on. As for literary and martial arts, whichever family's child is promising will take on those roles. As for other things, we don't insist that they must be proficient in both, nor do we restrict what they want to do. As long as they can be decent human beings, that's enough."
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian, husband and wife, both gave a knowing smirk.
Look at what their mother is saying, what does it mean to just be a decent human being?
These words may not sound very good, but those who care about family understand what they mean: they don't expect you to be successful, but they also don't want you to be a troublemaker or a useless person.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was gradually warmed up.
After everyone finished eating, they chatted for a while. Grandpa Gu asked the servant to check if Cheng Huaijin had woken up yet. After a short while, the servant came back to report that he had not woken up yet.
It was getting late, and Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu, along with the twins, prepared to say goodbye.
The couple both looked at Gu Yingxue.
Gu Yingxue asked, "Father, Mother, can I stay here today?"
Gu Qingyuan sighed.
Peng Yizhu patted her shoulder: "Okay, but don't stay up too late. You still need to rest."
Gu Yingxue nodded: "Yes, I know, Mother."
After Gu Qingyuan and his family of four returned home, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu also went back to their room to rest.
Cheng Huaijin was still asleep, and the Gu family felt that if they all went over together, they might wake him up, so they planned to go see him first thing tomorrow morning.
The eldest son and his wife, and the fourth son and his wife, went to sleep.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian went to the study and instructed Gu Yingxue to have someone come to the study to inform them if Cheng Huaijin woke up later.
After the two left, only Gu Xin, Gu En, Gu Si, and Gu Yingxue remained.
Looking at the worried Gu Yingxue, Gu En suggested, "Why don't we wait with Xue'er? Brother Xiao Jin should be waking up soon."
Gu Xin said, "Let's not go to my brother's place yet, let's go to Sisi's place."
Gu En and Gu Yingxue looked at Gu Xin, puzzled.
Gu Xin said, "Last night, Sisi and I went out and found something. Xue'er needs to confirm it."
Gu Yingxue suddenly remembered: "Sister Xinxin, are you talking about what you found at Shi Mu's place? Does he really have my things? Is that person really him?"
Gu En looked bewildered, but that didn't stop him from going to see it with her.
The four siblings arrived at Gu Si's room.
Gu Si found the drawing she had done at Shi Mu's place last night.
Gu En looked at it and said, "What are these things? They look like something a child would use."
Gu Yingxue searched her memory to see if she actually possessed these things.
Suddenly, it clicked.
These things seem to belong to her, or more accurately, to the original owner of the body, Gu Yingxue.
