The most promising son in the family has returned, and Gu's parents can only be happy.
The couple had no doubts at all: it's not a festival or a holiday, so why did their son suddenly come back?
Mother Gu, the smartest and most aggressive of the couple, just held her son's hand with a smile on her face, and didn't ask any more questions.
Since her parents didn't ask, Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything.
The family was just busy talking about some gossip after separation.
Mainly, it was Gu's mother who said that Gu's father was an honest man. He hardly spoke, not only in the village but also at home.
He squatted on the doorstep with a pipe in his hand, puffing on it while watching the mother and her children chatting with a satisfied look on his face.
He really got used to the feeling of hiding in the corner.
Gu's mother and the other children in the Gu family have also become accustomed to their father's "disappearance".
Only Gu Qingcheng, seeing that his father was still smoking, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket.
"Dad, let's try this!"
Gu Qingcheng took out a cigarette from the box and handed it to Gu's father.
"What is this? Is it the kind of cigarette you get in the city?"
Father Gu was a little surprised, and quickly put his pipe aside and reached out to borrow it.
His big hands were very rough, covered with calluses and scars.
This is the typical hand of an old farmer, like tree bark, but it supports a family.
As soon as Gu's father's hand touched the long cigarette, he suddenly thought of something, quickly withdrew his hand, and wiped it hard on his clothes.
After making sure his hands were clean, he carefully took it as if it were a treasure.
Gu Qingcheng felt a little sad, these were the common people at the bottom of society.
He is also "his" old father.
Although they work hard and contribute to the country and family, they still feel subconsciously humble.
Gu Qingcheng herself was of noble birth and was a high-ranking princess in her previous world.
She rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with such truly low-income, poor families.
"Ah, you old man, who are you? Just smoke a pipe. Why are you taking your son's cigarettes?"
Mother Gu rushed over and snatched it from Father Gu's hand.
"Son, don't waste good things. Your father is used to smoking dry tobacco, so you should take these and smoke them yourself."
Father Gu looked a little embarrassed, but he still agreed with Mother Gu's words and said sheepishly, "Yes! Yes! Dry tobacco is still more powerful. This one of yours is just good-looking, but it's not exciting to smoke!"
If Mr. Gu's eyes weren't so reluctant, these words would be very convincing.
"Mom! I don't smoke!"
Gu Qingcheng knew that her mother was worried about the money.
For the older generation of parents, they always feel that they are not worthy of using good things.
If there is anything good at home, it will be left to the children or used to entertain guests.
Well, appearance is more important than substance.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about this. She smiled and said to her mother, "I bought these cigarettes for Dad."
"Not just cigarettes, but also clothes and shoes!"
"By the way, mother, haven't you always wanted to go to the capital? I came back this time just to take you and my father to the capital."
Gu Qingcheng spoke softly, but her attitude was firm.
She took the cigarette from Gu's mother, lit it, and then put it to Gu's father's mouth.
Father Gu looked a little at a loss and subconsciously looked at Mother Gu.
Mother Gu: ...You old man, why are you looking at me?
Your son has already lit it for you. He doesn’t smoke, and neither do I. Why don’t you take it?
It’s all wasted!
Receiving Mother Gu's gaze, Father Gu quickly opened his mouth and grabbed it.
I was not used to it at first and even choked a few times.
Although he was choking on his tears, Father Gu's face was full of smiles: "Cigarettes in the city are still better! More flavorful!"
"Dad, if you think it's good, smoke this!"
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she raised her hand and stuffed the cigarette box into Gu's father's shirt pocket.
"No need! I'll just try it. Well, you should keep this."
"Yes, son, if you don't smoke, it's the same if you give cigarettes to people when you go out and meet them."
"...Yes, your mother is right!"
"Son, you're going to be a cadre, so you need to understand the ways of the world. Your father has been smoking dry tobacco for half his life, so he's used to it. Don't waste a good thing."
“…”
Gu's father and mother kept trying to persuade him.
Gu Qingcheng understood their intentions, but she would not agree.
"Dad, Mom, I'm a college student, but you are the parents of a college student."
"You deserve to eat good food and wear good clothes."
"Why is it a waste?"
"Dad, Mom, my son is about to graduate and can earn money, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Qingcheng knew that it was difficult to change her parents' old ideas and habits.
But she will do her best to give her parents "confidence" - they are not inferior to others.
Gu's father and mother were stunned for a moment.
They stared at their son blankly.
By the way, my son has always been excellent and filial.
However, as he went to the capital, and as his knowledge and abilities grew, he gradually became the "pillar" of the family.
It’s not that the son really has the ability to support the family, but that his identity has changed.
He is a college student.
He is the pride of the Gu family and even the entire Liujia Temple.
Elders like Gu's father and mother began to act humble in front of him.
Gradually, the positions between parents and son were reversed.
Gu's father and mother began to be cautious in front of Gu Qingcheng, fearing that they would say or do something wrong and make their son unhappy.
