All the way, Gu Qing chattered excitedly, talking about how she would show off to the villagers.
Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun found her very noisy, so neither of them paid any attention to her.
Around noon, we arrived at Jiuligou.
In the early 1980s, rural areas were still very poor, and people rarely saw outsiders entering the village. Therefore, the jeep's entry into the village caused a huge sensation.
Men, women, and children alike gathered around the jeep as if they were witnessing a once-in-a-century spectacle, pointing and discussing it animatedly.
"My goodness! This is the first time I've ever seen such a magnificent car!"
"I feel like this is a car driven by a leader. Could there be a high-ranking leader sitting inside?"
"Nonsense! Would a big leader come to our shabby little place?"
The villagers chased the jeep all the way to Gu Zhihui's house.
As soon as the car arrived at Gu Zhihui's house, the villagers' discussions grew even louder, and the small village was practically boiling over.
"Hey, hey, is it the wealthy relative from the city that Hongfang mentioned who's here?"
"So they really do have relatives in the city! My goodness, they must be so rich to drive a car!"

"No wonder they don't do anything all year round and still have plenty to eat and drink, living a more comfortable life than anyone else!"
As soon as the car stopped, Gu Qing got out arrogantly, and the villagers' eyes were practically glued to her.
She had been recuperating in the city for over a month, and her skin had become much fairer. She wore a delicate hair clip in her braid, and her new clothes stood out brightly in the drab crowd.
Several girls around Gu Qing's age crowded around her, asking her all sorts of questions, their eyes practically overflowing with envy.
"Qingqing, your hair clip is so pretty!"
"Your clothes must be really expensive! The fabric is so soft, and the pattern is so exquisite!"
"Your shoes are beautiful too! I've never seen such beautiful shoes in town!"
"Don't move! This outfit is expensive. If you get it dirty, will you wash it for me?"
Looking at her former friends' unsophisticated appearance, Gu Qing said with disdain.
However, the villagers' attention quickly shifted away from Gu Qing.

"My goodness, aren't these two movie stars?"
As soon as Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun got out of the car, the villagers gasped in surprise.
One was tall and handsome, exuding the aloof and refined air of an intellectual; the other was pretty and sweet, with an indescribable elegance and poise in every smile and gesture.
When the two carried the large and small bags of gifts from the trunk into the yard, the villagers were even more astonished.
"Zhiyun, what brings you all this way?"
A man in his thirties walked out leaning on a cane, looking both surprised and delighted.
Gu Zhiyun quickly stepped forward to help Gu Zhihui up, and pointed to Shen Jingyan to introduce her: "Big brother, this is Jingya."
When Gu Zhihui saw Shen Jingyan, he was so amazed by her beauty that he could hardly speak.
"Oh! My sister-in-law is here too! Look at you two... why did you bring so much stuff..."
The Gu family has good genes. Gu Zhiyun is perfectly handsome, and Gu Zhihui is not bad-looking either. He is 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and distinct features. Looking at them, the two brothers even look a bit alike.
Shen Jingyan greeted Gu Zhihui.
She felt that Gu Zhihui was not the kind of cunning and treacherous person. His eyes were simple and honest, and he seemed to be a person without any guile. Gu Qing's simple and silly appearance was exactly the same as his.
The brief contact gave Shen Jingyan a better understanding of the situation.
All the troubles this family brought to the Gu family came from Wang Hongfang.
Gu Zhihui welcomed the two into the house and busied himself pouring them water.
"Come here, Qiqi, Yangyang, these are your uncle and aunt, quickly greet them!"
The two children inside were a little scared and hid behind Gu Zhihui, calling out softly twice.
Shen Jingyan looked at Gu Qi and Gu Yang with curiosity.
Gu Qi was the second child. The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old. She was very pretty and looked nothing like the mother of the big and burly Gu Qing.
The third child, Gu Yang, was about eight or nine years old. He looked exactly like Gu Zhihui, a bit simple-minded, but with big, bright eyes and a chubby face that was very endearing.
There was a hint of relief in Chen Jingyan's words, thankful that not all children followed Wang Hongfang's example.
It seems the Gu family genes are quite strong.
She smiled kindly, patted Gu Qi and Gu Yang on the head one by one, and stuffed two red envelopes into their hands.
Gu Zhihui refused to accept it: "Sister-in-law, what's the point of spending money on a child? Take it back quickly, don't waste your money!"
He calmly said, "Since it's our first meeting, consider it as buying candy for the child."
"Look at you two, why didn't you tell us beforehand? We didn't prepare anything at home..."
Feeling somewhat guilty, Gu Zhihui took out a few yuan from his pocket and gave it to Gu Qi.
"Go, take your brother to buy vegetables and meat, the more the better!"
“Brother, you don’t need to work anymore,” Gu Zhiyun said. “We’ll just sit for a bit and then we’ll leave.”
"No way! You've come all this way, you should at least have a meal before you leave!"

Just then, a loud, energetic laugh rang out from the courtyard.
"Zhiyun, Jingya, why did you two come without saying a word!"
