Grandpa Gu suddenly sat up straight and looked at Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin: "?"
Grandpa Gu said, "Second son, do well on the exam. If you get into the top tier, I'll tell you a big secret, a very big secret, a very powerful secret."
Gu Shouxin: "...Okay."
Grandpa Gu pinched Gu Shouxin's cheek: "Good boy, although you've changed a lot, I still love you as my son!"
Gu Shouxin: "!"
After Grandpa Gu finished speaking, he collapsed.
Grandma Gu came in, chased Gu Shouxin out, and took care of Grandpa Gu herself.
Gu Shouxin shook his head. Did his father's words mean anything special?
Never mind, it doesn't matter if it has a special meaning. Anyway, the old man likes his son. Who cares what it means? As long as the old man likes him, that's all that matters.
...
After the banquet was held, the Huo family came to pick up Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu.
The atmosphere of parting wasn't strong, because they all knew that Gu Shouxin would be going to the capital to take the exam in the second half of the year, and they would be able to see each other again.
Huo Junhao once again declared boldly: "Second Uncle, I will work hard to catch up with you! I want to be the top scholar!"
Gu Shouxin: "I hope you won't always be second best!"
Huo Junhao changed instantly, tugging at Gu Shouxin's sleeve and shaking it: "Second Uncle~ In order for your wish to come true, how about you answer one less question?"
Gu Shouxin: "Is that interesting?"
Huo Junhao said with certainty, "Interesting."
Gu Shouxin: "Goodbye! Second prodigy!"
The Gu family watched with smiles as Huo Junhao and his sister left.
After getting into the car, Huo Yanyu waved to the Gu sisters: "Sisters, I'll miss you. Remember to write to me! My heart is with you both, and I will never change. I love you!"
The Gu sisters: "..."
After seeing the two off, Grandma Gu gathered the whole family together.
Looking at her energetic grandchildren, Grandma Gu, unusually, showed no disdain: "We've gathered everyone together today to discuss our family's future arrangements. Eldest son, you go first."
Uncle Gu: "I didn't make any arrangements! Mother, didn't you arrange everything for me?"
Grandma Gu: ...Sure enough, the eldest son is still a troublesome thing.
Gu Shouxin: "I don't know what my parents' plans are next."
Grandma Gu looked at Gu Shouxin: This is also a troublesome thing.
Uncle Gu: "Mother, my plan is to work hard and work with Xiao Huan to give Father and Mother a grandson or granddaughter."
Grandma Gu: Still feeling terrible!
She abandoned her son and looked at her daughter-in-law.
Zhang understood immediately and said with a smile, "Mother, I was just thinking that his second uncle passed the imperial examination, right? He'll be going to the capital for the final exam in the second half of the year, and if he gets a government position, we'll benefit from it too. Hehe, I want to learn to read, do business, and deal with people properly from my second brother's wife, so as not to embarrass you and my second brother's wife."
Grandma Gu didn't say anything, then looked at Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian said, "Mother, I've discussed it with his father. We'll set off for the capital in early August. We've also asked A Yuan to buy us a house, so we won't have to worry about not having a place to live. It's just that we haven't decided yet whether to let the children go."
Grandma Gu finally spoke: "Early August is too late. You should set off no later than mid-July. The food and climate in the capital are different from here, so you'll need to get used to it first. As for the children, it's up to you."
After saying that, Grandma Gu looked at Madam Yang.
Madam Yang: "...Mother, I just want to run our family's furniture store well. Second sister-in-law has been busy lately, and she has to accompany second brother to take the imperial examination. After second brother becomes an official, second sister-in-law will definitely have to stay by his side. I want to handle the store's affairs independently as soon as possible. As for the rest, I will listen to Father and Mother."
