Chapter 624: Master Gu is back
The noise here soon attracted the villagers. At first, no one dared to believe it, but when people came closer, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Master Gu is back," it was Gu Xiaoli who shouted. Her sharp voice instantly startled the birds in the woods and also scared out the villagers who were resting at home.
"Master Gu is back?" People came out one after another. Ever since Gu Wenheng became the prefect, no one in the village called Gu Wenheng "Guo Guqi" anymore. They all followed the people in the town and respectfully addressed him as Master Gu.
"It's really Master Gu who has returned."
Gu Wenheng and his family were seen walking on the road in the village, heading in the direction of Gu Dashi's residence.
Jin Qianqian was chatting with Gu Xiaoli at the moment, "Sister Xiaoli, I haven't seen you for a while. You look much healthier."
Here, praising others for their good fortune is not a bad word, but a lucky word that everyone likes to hear.
Gu Xiaoli didn't expect that even though Jin Qianqian became the wife of a high-ranking official, she still had the same attitude towards them. Seeing such a peaceful attitude, the parents couldn't help but feel less nervous than before.
"This is all thanks to you, and my Heizi is also hardworking, so our lives are getting better and better.
This is a good life, but you have to gain some weight."
Jin Qianqian waved her hand and called over her two children, "This is your aunt Xiaoli, hurry up and call her."
"Aunt Xiaoli." Gu Benluo and the others asked obediently.
Gu Xiaoli looked at the smiling faces of the two children, and coupled with Jin Tong's appearance, she felt her heart soften, "They are really good children. They have picked out the best features of you and Master Gu. That's great!"
"Why are you calling me Master Gu? We are all family. Didn't you always call me Seventh Brother before?"
"I'm used to this," Gu Xiaoli glanced at Gu Wenheng nervously. They were clearly the same person, yet she felt they were different.
If she were outside, she wouldn't dare to recognize Gu Wenheng like this. Just looking at him made her feel a little nervous and breathless.
She turned stiffly to Jin Qianqian. It was easier for women to communicate with each other. "Now the whole Fu County, including our village, calls each other that. We're used to it."
She couldn't speak of big principles, but she always felt that they were two different people now, so she had to be extra careful with her words for fear of offending others.
Jin Qianqian really didn't know about this and was about to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, people from the village appeared on the road one after another and everyone was greeting them. She had to divert her attention and put this matter aside for the time being.
It was a short distance, but it felt like a long time.
Before they even reached the old man's house, the brothers of the family had already come out to greet them, supporting Li Cuicui.
Gu Wenheng saw Li Cuicui, pushed through the crowd, lifted his robe and knelt directly in front of her, "Mother, your unfilial son has returned with his family."
Jin Qianqian was slow to react. She was about to follow behind, holding the child's hand, but was stopped by Li Cuicui, "Hurry up and help your brother up. It's hard to walk on the road. Don't hurt your feet."
Jin Qianqian was also supported by Liu Liu and Li Xiaohua on her left and right.
"You silly boy, why are you so honest?" Li Cuicui felt pain for her son when she heard the sound of kneeling.
When Gu Yuanjin and the others helped Gu Wenheng up, she couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if you have to kneel, you have to put a cushion under you. What if you get hurt?"
Gu Wenheng: "..." So it's not that he is not allowed to kneel, but he has to choose the way to kneel... Is this really the right way to treat your most promising son... ?
"Mom, my seventh brother and the others have worked hard on this journey. Let's go back quickly." Gu Yuanjin looked at the increasing number of people and quickly reminded them, "Seventh brother, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Li Cuicui happened to see Gu Benluo stroking her belly with her little hand and immediately said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Gu Benluo: "..." I just ate too many snacks in the car. We have only walked such a short distance. When will I be able to finish them all?
After walking for a while, Li Cuicui also found that many people were still following behind. She stopped helplessly and said to everyone, "Our old seventh brother has worked hard on the way back. I will visit you again after he has rested well."
"It's time to have a good rest," the villagers understood and said goodbye and left.
Seeing that her family was the only one left on the village road, Li Cuicui held her head high and led the way home.
As soon as she entered the door, she immediately shouted loudly, "Mrs. Song, please quickly take people to prepare a few more dishes, Lao Qi and the others are back.
Don’t make it too complicated, just fill your stomach.”
Mrs. Song and Luo Gang, who was busy in the backyard, both ran out, looking surprised.
Speaking of which, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian are their real masters.
He let out a happy sigh and immediately ran to the back to get busy.
"There's no letter yet. I'll ask your eldest brother to pick you up in the county town when the time comes." Li Cuicui is now holding the hands of the two children, smiling particularly kindly.
Gu Yuanshui winked at his brothers. The saying "things smell better when they are far away but stink when they are close" really made sense. Their sons who always followed him around did not receive such good treatment.
"Mom, I came back right after completing my mission. It's not as fast as me to ask others to bring the letter.
How is your health?"
"Look at me, I'm fine, I can eat and sleep.
Plus with the filial piety from you brothers, everyone can only envy me. "Li Cuicui said this very loudly.
Jin Qianqian was a little surprised. Her mother-in-law seemed to have a much more cheerful personality.
Is it just that the reason why he speaks so loudly is because he is old and has hearing problems?
It seems I need to find some time to have a good look at it by the doctor.
"That's good. If mom needs anything, just let someone tell me. We will try to find it as long as it can be found." Jin Qianqian also smiled to show her filial piety.
Li Cuicui looked at them lovingly, "Mother doesn't lack anything. You guys always bring things back in carts and wagons. How many things can an old woman like mother need?
If your eldest brother hadn't built a few more warehouses, my house would be full of stuff.
Just live a good life outside from now on, and don't spend so much money. "
Jin Qianqian, "Mom, look at what you said.
You have worked hard all your life, now is the time to enjoy yourself.
If your place can’t hold it all, we can build a bigger house.”
Hearing about Jin Qianqian's wealth, the Gu family was amused. Even though they didn't know how much assets Jin Qianqian had now, they knew it was definitely more than enough.
They really don't envy this situation at all, because their lives nowadays are not bad, and are getting better every year, and they all have some assets.
"By the way, where's Dad?" Gu Wenheng waited until they had almost finished chatting, as if he suddenly remembered.
Everyone fell silent. At this moment, the sound of a cup breaking was heard from the room. Everyone present looked a little embarrassed.
