Chapter 794 796. Surprise
When I arrived outside Li Cuicui's yard, it was quiet.
Gu Wenheng personally stepped forward and pushed open the half-open door, and the yard was empty.
Gu Lehuan poked his head out curiously, "I guess he's in the backyard right now, how about I go in first?"
Gu Wenheng pressed his nephew's head back with one hand, and then stretched out his hand to call Gu Bencan, "You go in first and take a look. I don't know if the old lady can still recognize you."
Gu Bencan rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, I saw my grandparents many years ago. It's been so many years, how could they recognize them? If my eldest brother came back with us this time, he would probably be recognized."
Gu Benluo was going to take part in the special examination this time, and had already been sent to Shangjing Academy to consolidate his knowledge.
Jin Qianqian reached out and flicked the dust off his shoulders, "Just speak properly, don't act weird.
You look exactly like your father. The old lady will recognize you as soon as she sees you. If you don’t believe me, go in and try it.”
Jin Qianqian felt depressed when she thought about the appearance of her two sons.
It seems that she had no credit or hard work in giving birth to and raising her two sons. They look exactly like Gu Wenheng and have nothing in common with her.
Gu Bencan still felt aggrieved, "Mom, as soon as I walked out, people would recognize who I was at a glance, without even asking.
You said it would be great if I looked like you."
Seeing her son acting funny again, Jin Qianqian gently pushed him. Gu Bencan was already standing in the yard. "Don't be so ungrateful. What's wrong with you looking like me? Do you think I can't show you anything?"
Stop wasting time, go in first and see if your grandmother can guess it. "
Hearing this suggestion, he found it interesting. Gu Bencan straightened his robe and walked in on tiptoe.
Jin Qianqian saw him doing such obscene actions with a face like Gu Wenheng's, and she turned her head to look at Gu Wenheng with a smile, "It's like a thief. Next time, try his actions and expressions."
How could Gu Wenheng not hear the meaning behind her words? "This kid should be more careful. He is a good young man, but he acts like a little thief.
If someone saw this, we wouldn't know how to embarrass ourselves."
Jin Qianqian, "Oh, then you'll have to wait a few more days before you can get what you want."
The elders are so fond of the kid who just returned home that they would never allow him to suffer any grievances.
As soon as Gu Bencan stepped into the backyard, he heard laughter coming from the backyard.
Standing at the back door and looking into the yard, I saw several people dressed as peasant women squatting in the yard tidying up the vegetable patch.
Gu Bencan stepped into the field carefully, but was discovered before he got close.
Seeing the boy who suddenly appeared in the backyard, Liu Liu squinted at him, "Whose kid are you?"
When villagers come to visit, if they don’t see anyone in the front yard, they will usually come to the back yard.
The place where Gu Bencan was standing was somewhat backlit, and Liu Liu and the others didn't notice it for a while.
I just felt that this boy was a little strange, yet familiar.
"What kind of vegetables are you growing?" Gu Bencan did not answer them. Instead, he squatted beside the vegetable field and asked curiously.
"I'm going to plant some cabbages," Li Cuicui answered him with a smile, "Whose family are you from? What do you want to see me for?"
Gu Bencan said, "Grandma, I am the kid from the Gu family. I am a little tired and thirsty after walking all the way here. I want to ask you for a glass of water to quench my thirst."
Li Cuicui felt a little strange, "I recognize all the boys from the Gu family, but you look a little unfamiliar.
You came to my house to ask for water, but didn't the previous families give you any?"
You know, she lives in the center of the village, and other households should also be at home at this time.
"Don't you think I look familiar?" Gu Bencan deliberately put his face in front of her so that the old lady with poor eyesight could see more clearly.
Li Cuicui hadn't figured it out yet, but Liu Liu covered her mouth excitedly at this time, "You are the seventh child's boy, judging by your age, you should be the second child, right?"
Gu Bencan didn't know who the woman in front of him was, but since she could get along so well with Li Cuicui, she must be his elder, so he was even more respectful in his attitude.
"That's right, kid Gu Bencan, I came here today to pay my respects to my grandmother."
When she heard the three words Gu Bencan, Li Cuicui didn't care that there was still mud on her hands. She grabbed his arm excitedly and said, "Are your parents back?"
Gu Bencan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Grandma, my parents are outside the door. Let me come in first to give you a surprise."
“You’re already a father, but you’re still so naughty.
You're already at the door, why don't you come in?"
Although Li Cuicui was complaining, her legs had already walked towards the yard.
Liu Liu was afraid that the old lady would be too excited, so he hurried over to support her, "Don't run too fast, Seventh Brother and the others will come back, so they will definitely not be able to run away, so don't worry about this moment."
Li Xiaohua also supported her other side, "Mom, you've forgotten Cancan. Weren't you still thinking about him before?"
Li Cuicui stopped and reached out to grab Gu Bencan, "Let grandma take a good look. Your parents have been gone for so many years. You were just a little kid back then. I didn't expect you to have grown up so much now.
Why didn’t I write a letter to my family before so that they could prepare some food?
By the way, what do you like to eat? Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to prepare it.
Where's your brother? Is he back too?
..."
Seeing that the old lady had endless questions to ask, Liu Liu smiled and said, "Mom, you asked so many questions, which one should Cancan answer first?
Anyway, the person is back and can't run away. Look at you asking the child questions that are confusing."
Gu Bencan really didn't know which question to answer first, so he could only stand aside and smile awkwardly.
Although the people in front of him were all his elders, this was the first time he could remember seeing them.
Instead of introducing me to other families, my unscrupulous parents let me run away and face all this alone.
"Grandma, my father and mother are waiting for you outside the door."
"He doesn't even come in when he gets home," Li Cuicui came to her senses and understood the meaning of her grandson's words. So when the seventh brother comes home, he has to wait for his own mother to go and greet him in person?
Seeing that he had successfully conveyed his meaning, Gu Bencan smiled and said, "Just now my father pushed me into the yard and asked me to come in to find you first, wanting to see if you would recognize me.
I told you, I look so much like my dad, and I also look a bit like you, my grandmother, how could I not recognize you? "
She had invisibly let her own father down, and Li Cuicui's joy for meeting her seventh son faded even more.
"You've been an official for so many years, but you still like to play tricks on people." Li Cuicui grabbed her grandson's hand and was in no hurry to leave.
My son had been missing him for decades, but this was the second time I met his grandson, and he has grown up so much now.
Looking at the appearance of his little grandson, who was very similar to the seventh brother, he liked him even more. He grabbed his hand and started talking about family matters.
"You and your father have been away for so many years. You have to stay longer this time when you come back."
