Chapter 309 310. Getting older
The others couldn't jump as fast as they did and looked at them in confusion.
We were talking about Gu Dashi and the widow, so why did they end up talking about returning home?
Gu Wenheng and Gu Yuanshui smiled at each other, then stood up and walked towards the door. Although the others didn't understand their intentions, they followed them.
Gu Yuanjin caught up with Gu Yuanshui and asked, "What are you and Lao Qi talking about? We can't understand anything."
Gu Yuanshui, "Didn't you feel that Dad was too idle just now? There just happened to be a big event at home that required his intervention. Moreover, this is also a glorious event, which is perfect for him."
Gu Wenheng added at this time, "This matter really has to be handled by him."
Gu Yuanhuo immediately changed his mind. He wanted to send people out. The round trip would take at least a year, even with a carriage and the relocation of the ancestral grave.
There have been too many variables this year. As long as his brothers add more fuel to the fire, this matter can be resolved.
Gu Yuanhuo quietly paused and secretly warned himself not to provoke the fourth and seventh brothers in the future, because their brains were not enough for them to deal with.
Sure enough, as soon as the matter of moving the ancestral tombs and relocating the ancestral hall was mentioned, everyone in the clan agreed.
Gu Wenheng and his brothers were generous and covered all the expenses for the return trip. Now there was no need to worry, and many people were vying to go back and take a look.
Gu Wenheng looked at the elders with an embarrassed look on his face, "It's just that I have to go to take up my new post, and I can't spare the time to go back. My brothers also have a lot of things to do here, and they really can't spare the time.
I don't want to trouble all the uncles and grandfathers for the ancestral grave of this family."
Gu Datian had long made up his mind to move his parents' graves here so that he could worship them in the future, but he had been putting it off because of the long distance and the high cost.
Now that the Gu family brothers have given them such an opportunity, he is naturally grateful and understands their difficulties, so he will help them solve their problems. "If you brothers can trust me, I will do this together when the time comes."
Others also responded, saying that since the other party had paid so much money, it was only right for them to lend a hand.
Seeing that no one among so many people understood, Gu Yuanhuo was about to speak, but Gu Yuanshui pinched his shoulder.
"Thank you elders for your kindness," Gu Wenheng bowed to everyone and thanked them, "but this is a family matter after all, how about I let a few nephews go with you?"
"What's the use of a few children? Besides, they have been out for so long, how can they know where their great-grandfather's grave is?" When he heard that he was letting a few children follow him, Gu Sanbu became worried. What if they moved the wrong grave, wouldn't that offend the ancestors even more?
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Sanbu started looking for someone, "Where's Dashi? Didn't you inform him of such a big thing?"
Gu Yuanshui looked at Gu Sanbu hesitantly, and finally sighed.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play tricks in front of me, Third Grandpa." Gu Sanbu tapped his crutch. If his old legs were useful, he would walk the whole trip by himself and make sure not to miss a single grave.
Gu Yuanshui, "When we came here, we had already sent someone to look for my father. Some people said he had left the village... We don't know where he went, so we are sending people to look for him."
(Gu Dashi, who was calming down at the entrance of the village, was sneezing at this time, "It's not cold today, why do I feel a little chilly?")
Gu Sanbu stroked his beard and had already guessed in his mind that he was still stubborn.
In this case, "You don't have to talk about letting those children go. I think your father is in good health, so it's just right for him to go."
Gu Wenheng: "But my father is old after all..."
"How can you say you are old?" Gu Sanbu roared angrily. He had the energy to go look for the widow, so could he not do such a big task as moving the graves?
"It's settled. I'll have someone notify him later. Now that the weather is getting warmer, maybe he can come back to celebrate the New Year."
After the decision was made, Gu Sanbu's expression changed immediately, and he looked at the brothers with a loving smile, "Then you should find a convoy as soon as possible in the next few days. The sooner you can set off, the sooner you can return."
Gu Wenheng thought that there must be a new ancestral hall for the tablet he had taken back, so he took out two silver notes from his pocket and said, "This is two hundred taels of silver. The clan can slowly build the ancestral hall and try to make it wider and bigger. After all, this will be our roots in the future."
Gu Sanbu was naturally happy. In this way, the whole family had roots here and was gradually becoming more respectable.
"I thank you on behalf of all the people in my tribe, young and old, so that they will remember your kindness."
Gu Wenheng didn't care about these things at all. He was originally an atheist, but after this journey, he began to have some awe for gods.
Since I'm still alive in Ancient Seven's body, I might as well do some good things for the clan, which can be considered as repaying the original body's kindness.
After receiving the news, Gu Dashi was still silent for a long time, "There are so many kids at home, why is it my turn?
I can’t do that. I’m too old to travel back and forth.”
Gu Sanbu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Are you sure you are old? I see that you are in good physical condition. You can even find a young widow.
Don't be so quick to deny it. This village is so small that people know what you do.
As for the children at home you mentioned, who among them is free?"
Gu Dashi, "If the Seventh Brother can't do it, don't we still have the Big Brother and the others?"
"Who will be in charge of the tofu shop business?" Gu Sanbu shook his head, "Don't forget that your good life now is all earned by them. If you lose your income, can you still live like this?
You are the one with the least time in the family now, and that is the grave of your parents, so you don’t want to move them here yourself.”
Gu Dashi, "Why do we have to move the graves here? It's not good to disturb them like this."
Gu Sanbu raised the cane in his hand, and Gu Dashi was so scared that he quickly put his hands on his head and said, "I'll go back, I'll go back, isn't it okay for me to go back?"
“…”
Gu Yuanjin and his brothers now had money and connections, so they had already found an escort company the next day and got a pass from the county government. Now they only had half a day to prepare.
All they had to do to pack up was to pack a few sets of clothes for changing. Gu Yuanjin and the others had also prepared the food and expenses for the journey.
Gu Dashi never expected that he would have to set off tomorrow after only learning the news yesterday. He was completely stunned.
"Isn't this too hasty? It won't be too late to set off again after a few days."
Gu Sanbu, "It's neither too hot nor too cold now, so it's a good time to start the journey. If we go any later, it will be the hottest time of the year. Besides, if we go now, we may be able to return before the New Year, so we can go back and see who is still living in our hometown."
Gu Sanbu was still worried about those who did not flee the famine with him.
