Chapter 426 427. Things Are Different
Gu Lehuan lives alone in his own house and has no friends or relatives to visit. People like him are the easiest to be targeted. Only this silly boy goes in and out optimistically all day long, without noticing the crisis hidden underneath.
Gu Lehuan felt that this was taking advantage of Uncle Qi again, "This is not appropriate. Carrying the goods in and out all day long will bring shame to you and Uncle Qi."
Jin Qianqian, "I've already spoken, so I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. What's more, you make a living by your hands and feet, do you feel embarrassed about it?
Don't make excuses. I am your elder, and I am telling you this for your own good.
Think about renting out your house? That would be an extra income.
You are in my house, so you can also help me look after this yard."
Gu Lehuan immediately looked at the housekeeper and others beside him with a guilty conscience. Is it really okay for Aunt Seven to say this in front of them?
Jin Qianqian, "You don't have to worry about them. Having someone from our family here will make them feel more at ease.
It's settled now. You should follow Butler Fu and write the letter first, okay?"
After the people left, Jin Qianqian couldn't help shaking her head, "Too smart, it makes me worried, and this dull, it makes me worry again."
Grandma Ou, "It's actually quite good for Master Le Huan to be like this. Although his life may be a little dull, as the old saying goes, contentment is the key to happiness. It's also more reassuring to be around people like this."
There was one more thing she hadn't said yet. If she wasn't such a person, she wouldn't have had such good fortune and received such special treatment from the lady.

Gu Dashi and his group walked and stopped many times, and finally returned to their hometown.
Looking at the familiar boundary markers, several older people hugged the markers and cried bitterly. After this trip, they would really have to say goodbye to their homeland once and for all.
The escort agency personnel in front also stopped and waited for them to vent their emotions before walking over and saying, "We have arrived at Baini'ao now, and our mission for this trip is considered complete. We will continue to move forward. If you can return in time, we will meet here in twenty days."
Gu Yi, "Thank you all for taking care of us along the way. I just don't know how to schedule a return trip if we miss the day after the 20th day?"
Escort, "If you miss it, you have to go to the county town and visit our branch. You can only ask them for the next time."
Gu Dashi, "Can't we just wait until then? We can just pay more money."
The escort took a look at him and knew that the man in front of him was Lord Gu's biological father. He was the one who made the most trouble along the way. "I'm afraid it won't work. If we delay for a few days, the heavy snow will block the road. If we are trapped on the road, it will be a real disaster."
Gu Dashi wanted to speak again, but was pulled back by Gu Datian. "We were all prepared before. If we didn't choose a date, we would have to go back after the New Year. The road in the spring is much easier to travel."
Gu Dashi kept complaining along the way, making everyone secretly despise him in their hearts. Before, when everyone was fleeing the famine step by step, they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
How come you can't bear this little hardship in just two years?
"Look at how desolate this place is. We haven't seen many houses along the way. Nine out of ten are empty. Don't you feel anxious staying here?"
As an elder, Gu Datian was not afraid of him. Moreover, the team leader had specifically instructed them to keep an eye on this man before leaving. "Why should we panic? Our ancestors have lived here for generations. What's wrong? Have you forgotten your ancestors after only two years away?"
This charge was a bit serious. Gu Dashi was too embarrassed to refute in front of so many juniors. He just muttered, "We have a good life, but you have to make trouble like this. Fortunately, there was a carriage along the way, otherwise everyone's legs would be broken."
As the leader of this group, Gu Yi naturally didn't want everyone to waste time here any longer. "We've been away from home for so long, and we don't know what has become of our home. Let's work harder and see if we can get to the village before tonight?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it really aroused everyone's longing in their hearts. No one cared about what happened to Gu Dashi before. They sorted out their feelings and climbed onto the carriages.
The group entered Baini'ao in a mighty procession, and many people stared at them curiously.
Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Gu Datian felt an ominous feeling in his heart. So many people had settled down outside before, so where did so many unfamiliar faces come from in a town now?
He turned and looked at Gu Yi. Obviously Gu Yi had also noticed this and his face became serious.
When they arrived at the town center, he asked people to stop the carriage and ran into the familiar grain store.
Looking at the familiar boss, Gu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Manager Shi, are you doing well recently?"
Shopkeeper Shi looked at Gu Yi, but couldn't call out his name at once. He could only point at him excitedly, "Why did you come back just now?"
Gu Yi knew that Shopkeeper Shi had recognized him, “We were arranged to settle down nearby, and this time we came here to move our ancestral tablets and graves over there.
I just saw a lot of unfamiliar faces in Baini'ao, and there are quite a few of them, so I wanted to come over and ask what's going on. "
Manager Shi sighed, "Since you left to escape, things have become chaotic here. We originally wanted to stay here, but later we were forced to seek shelter in the city.
Who would have thought that the drought had just eased a little when the envoy Niu brought a large group of people to settle down along the way, and we were also arranged to have people stay here.
These are the refugees who came here from the front. They thought the journey was too long and didn’t want to go any further. In addition, the land here is more fertile than theirs, so they settled down here.”
At this point, Shopkeeper Shi looked at Gu Yi and finally gritted his teeth to finish his words, "As for your Kaoshan Village, people have been arranged to live there, and the fields have been re-registered. I don't know if they have touched the ancestral hall and the ancestral tombs."
Gu Yi felt very disappointed at this moment. According to the current situation, they could not go home.
After all, he had studied for a few years and had some experience with the old patriarch. Gu Yi made a new decision in an instant, "I wonder who the current head of the village is? I want to pay him a visit first."
"Then you'd better find the mayor first. I'm not very familiar with the situation in the villages below." Since coming back to make a comeback, Manager Shi has been busy all day and has no time to understand the situation in each village. The news he can hear is just a few words from everyone.
Gu Yi knew that the other party had good intentions and thanked them immediately. Shopkeeper Shi was also a good person and simply asked his son to look after the store and took them on a trip personally.
