Since Gu Xiaoba had appeared, Gu Xiaoqi must be nearby. So Gu Shouxin stopped talking to Cai Xiaolian and went to pick up Gu Xiaoqi and go find the old man and the old woman.
The Gu family currently has seven children under the age of three, all of whom are boys, making it quite a lively group.
Before Gu Xin's accident last year, the third branch of the Gu family had all given birth to sons, totaling four. The year before last, the second and fourth branches each had one child, making the Gu family six children in total. Adding to that Cheng Huaiyu's son, Yun Ge'er, who was brought back by Gu Hui in the first half of this year, there are now seven sons.
The eldest is Gu Xiaoqi from the fourth wife's family, who will be three years old in a few months. The youngest is Gu Shier from the fourth wife's family, who is just one year old.
Grandpa Gu really likes having lots of kids, and although Grandma Gu looks disgusted, she still plays with the kids along with Grandpa Gu.
Gu Si was also with Grandpa and Grandma Gu at this moment. When she saw her second uncle and aunt arrive together, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Second Uncle, is there any good news? Is Third Sister coming back? Or is Second Sister coming back? By the way, is Xue'er coming back too?"
Gu Shouxin shook his head and put Gu Xiaoqi down: "Neither."
Cai Xiaolian put Gu Xiaoba down and patted Gu Si on the shoulder: "Sisi, you'll probably have to be the leader of the kids for another six months before your sisters come back."
Gu Si's lips immediately twitched: "Sigh! Why am I so useless? The kidnappers don't want me, and neither do my older sisters. I can't be kidnapped by the kidnappers, and I can't go with my older sisters to help!"
Grandma Gu glared at her: "What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight? If you don't want to stay at home, go to Chunnan City and keep your father company!"
Gu Si shook her head: "Pah, pah, pah! Grandma, I misspoke. I want to stay home with Grandpa and Grandma!"
Grandma Gu glared at her again, clearly annoyed.
Grandpa Gu smiled and smoothed things over, "Second son, what brings you here? Today isn't a day off!"
Gu Shouxin then explained the matter of the imperial edict.
After she finished speaking, Gu Si immediately wanted to reply, but after glancing at Grandma Gu, she obediently raised her hand to indicate that she had something to say.
Grandpa Gu was amused by her: "You silly girl, are you thinking of asking your second uncle to take you along?"
Gu Si nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes. By the time Second Uncle leaves, the war in the west will definitely be over, so I won't be in danger. Besides, Second Uncle won't let me be in any danger if I go with him. I miss Third Sister so much. I can still go to the capital to see Second Sister, and she can come back, but I haven't seen Third Sister for over a year. Grandpa and Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, please promise me!"
Cai Xiaolian laughed and said, "Your second uncle won't set off until after the first month of the lunar calendar, so there's no use in rushing him!"
Grandma Gu said, "Before leaving Qingzhou, the four sisters always did everything together and rarely separated for such a long time. Second brother, why don't you write a letter to the Emperor and ask Niannian to come back after the New Year, and you can take Niannian and Sisi with you. As the saying goes, 'A son should read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles,' so our daughters should also travel ten thousand miles and broaden their horizons."
Gu Si ran to Grandma Gu's side with a delighted expression and hugged her: "Grandma, you're the best! Grandma is the best grandma in Da Zhou!"
Grandma Gu held up a finger and pushed Gu Si away from her forehead: "Go away, go away. During this time, you should take Renren to get up early in the morning and practice your kung fu. Don't hold your second uncle back!"
Gu Si stood up straight, clenched her fist and raised it: "Grandma, don't worry, I've been working hard to practice my skills, and I will never hold Second Uncle back!"
