With such an outstanding son like the original owner, Gu's father, who had been honest for most of his life, finally stood up straight.
Needless to say, Mother Gu, who is already a hot-tempered woman, talks about my son and the capital every day.
In fact, Gu's mother had only been to the county town and had never even left the city, let alone to the capital.
But no one cares about this.
In the eyes of the villagers, Mother Gu is a blessed person.
In the past, she could have become an imperial old lady.
Even now, when her son graduates and becomes a high-ranking official in the city, Gu's mother can still enjoy her life.
"So, for a woman, either she marries well or gives birth to a good child!"
"Look at the second son of Gu Lao's family. Even though the man is a bit of a coward, he still has a good son!"
"That's right. Hey, tell me, how could a naive guy like Gu Laoshi, who can't even say a word, give birth to a promising child like Qingcheng?"
"Yeah, my old man is much more capable than Gu Laoshi. But those rascals of mine couldn't even finish high school!"
"It's probably because of Gu Laoer's cleverness. Son, take after your mother!"
"That makes sense. If the father is short, the whole family will be short. If you don't choose the right wife, the children will be useless as well."
"...Haha, if that's what you're saying, then that she-wolf at the west end of the village won't be able to get married, right?"
At Liujia Temple, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, several middle-aged and elderly women gathered together, working with their hands and chatting about gossip.
As the ox cart that Gu Qingcheng was riding passed by the village entrance, they saw the young top scholar and started a discussion about him.
As the conversation went on, the topic shifted and other "celebrities" in the village were mentioned.
"Alas, Xiuzhi had a miserable life. When she was born, her grandmother threw her into the back mountains. When her mother went to look for her, she only found a bloodstained rag."
"Luckily, I was lucky. Even though I was taken away by a wolf, that wolf was a she-wolf that had just given birth to cubs."
"Perhaps out of pity for the child, the she-wolf didn't eat her. Instead, she fed her with her own milk until she was six years old."
"If the hunters in the village hadn't seen her in the cave, that child would have spent her entire life as a savage in the mountains!"
"She was indeed lucky. That year, her grandmother had just passed away, and her mother took charge of the household, so she was able to keep her."
"Yeah, if her grandmother hadn't died, the child would probably have been thrown out."
"She wasn't thrown away, but her life wasn't going anywhere. I remember when Xiuzhi first came back, she couldn't speak and would bare her teeth at people at the slightest provocation."
"Tsk tsk, that little look, just like a wolf cub."
"Her mother doesn't really love her. She's probably just keeping her because she's angry with her grandmother."
"She was hungry sometimes and full sometimes. Xiuzhi grew up in the mountains and couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so she ran back to the mountains."
"...Poor thing. Such a nice girl, yet she became a notorious 'wolf girl'."
"She's already 20 this year, and no one's looking for a husband for her."
"Who would dare to marry him? He was raised by a she-wolf. He dared to bite people at the age of six. In recent years, he has been hunting in the mountains all year round. Tigers, wolves, wild boars... there is nothing she won't kill!"
"She's really impressive, but she's rich!"
"Yes! They've divided up their own households and built houses. They have meat for every meal. I heard they have connections with the county's slaughterhouse and restaurants."
"That won't work either. The second Gu family is just fierce, but Gu Xiuzhi is vicious."
A group of aunts and grandmas were sewing shoe soles, doing their work, and gossiping enthusiastically.
"Gu Xiuzhi? Wolf girl?"
On the other side of the big tree, a young man in his twenties was lying in the grass.
His skin was a little sunburned and he looked a little disheveled.
However, his facial features are very delicate, and he looks quite like a young handsome guy in later generations.
This is not in line with current aesthetic standards.
But Ning Zecheng, who traveled through time, was very satisfied: although he traveled through time and space to the 1950s when people were short of food and clothing, he was still very satisfied.
But, this skin is really good.
She is so beautiful that it is hard to tell whether she is male or female, comparable to our Hanhan in later generations.
There's just something wrong with my brain. I'm too impulsive.
I saw an advertisement for Beidahuang in the newspaper. I had just graduated from high school and didn't even want to take the college entrance exam, so I signed up without telling my parents.
From the bustling city, I came to a remote rural area one or two thousand miles away.
"Damn it, if I can travel through time, at least I can come here half a year earlier."
Hanging on a weed, Ning Zecheng couldn't help but want to curse when he thought of what the original owner had done.
The original owner was so hot-blooded that he came here to become an educated youth. After doing farm work for several months, his fair and tender skin was sunburned, thick calluses formed on the palms of his hands, and he died of a high fever.
After Ning Zecheng's death, he traveled through time and space and came into the body of the original owner. The moment he did so, he felt the contrast of ice and fire.
My forehead felt like burning charcoal, but my whole body felt cold.
Fortunately, he had a golden finger, otherwise, he would probably have died again.
After three or four days of tossing and turning, the fever finally subsided. Ning Zecheng accepted the fact of time travel and began to plan for the future.
Going back to the city, I guess I can’t go back.
Now it’s five or six years, so I can take the college entrance examination again.
But, before he traveled through time, he was a poor student.
In later life, I took extra classes every day, but in the end I only got into a vocational school.
Ning Zecheng knew that he was not cut out for studying.
Time travel only changed his body, not his brain.
He was destined to be unable to change his fate by relying on knowledge.
Furthermore, his golden finger is very strange - if he eats gigolos, he will become beautiful.
