Most importantly: this little one belongs to someone else! Grandpa, how could you be so wasteful? It would have been so much better to give it to your own descendants! As the saying goes, even the best produce shouldn't be left to outsiders!
However, no one dared to say anything about the old man's decision.
Tuanzi didn't know the value of what she held, but she could read everyone's expressions. She then looked at Old Master Gu:
"Great-grandfather?"
The meaning is clear: Great-Grandpa, can I accept this? If not, then I won't accept it!
Little did they know, these things were no big deal to Old Master Gu. They were just trinkets; he had plenty in his own storeroom, and his wife had secretly kept half of it for herself.
Therefore, this person is truly the golden thigh!
The old man had seen it all before and remained calm; there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. He nodded to his great-grandson, and the man put the things into his bag before solemnly thanking Old Master Ye.
"Thank you for the gift, Grandpa Ye! Tuanzi loves it!"
Old Master Ye didn't know why, but he just found this guy very pleasing to the eye. He felt a sense of familiarity from the first glance, which is why he gave away his favorite jade Buddha without hesitation.
Many people believe that a genuine jade Buddha can protect people and bring them peace, so this lucky guy must stay healthy from now on!
This little incident passed quickly. The old man naturally went to the main guest table with his old comrades, while Tuanzi was protected tightly by his two uncles.
"Tuanzi, eat this, it's delicious!" Gu Yujin brought over a plate of freshly made Yangzhou almond shortbread. The aroma alone was enough to make your mouth water; it really smelled wonderful.
The clever man handed his bag to Gu Ziling: "Second Uncle, please keep it safe for Tuanzi!" as if he didn't know that the bag would be stolen.
Gu Ziling would never take anything from her own brother's son, would she?
However, after Gu Ziling took it, Qun breathed a sigh of relief. Don't think she didn't see it; all her friends who were a little older than her had been staring at her bag the whole time.
You're wrong, little dumpling. They're eyeing the jade Buddha in your bag!
Then the person moved closer to Gu Yujin, looking at Gu Yujin with a greedy expression.
"Alright, alright, here you go!" Gu Yujin generously handed over the whole plate of food, but his good intentions backfired, and he was scolded by his second brother.
"Gu Yujin, are you out of your mind? How could you give him such a big plate? What if he chokes or overeats?"
"This...this, I don't know!"
Tuanzi silently munched on the almond shortbread in her hand, completely ignoring the argument between her two uncles. Right now, with delicious food in front of her, nothing else mattered to her!
It's a shame Mom couldn't come; these crispy treats were really delicious!
Gu Yujin was being criticized by Gu Ziling, and the commotion caused by the two brothers naturally attracted the attention of those around them, who then began to discuss it quietly:
"Hey, you guys, is that doll Gu Er Shao's or Gu Shao Ye's?"
"That's impossible! Second Young Master Gu would never do that, I swear on my life! As for Young Master Gu, I have no opinion!"
"I heard from my cousin that when Young Master Gu was only fifteen or sixteen, he got a female classmate pregnant. This child is only two or three years old, so it's about right, isn't it?"
Gu Yujin was explaining to his second brother that he really wasn't stupid when his mother, Zhao Lan, appeared out of nowhere and had a livid face.
"Come here!"
