At this time, Gu Hongguang's family was sitting in the main room chatting.
Men and women, young and old, all gathered together, and it looked very lively.
Gu Hongguang was puffing on his pipe at the moment, which was something almost everyone in the village would do when they were resting. Everyone had a large amount of tobacco leaves stored at home. This kind of tobacco was extremely cheap and you could buy a large bundle for a small amount of money. Then you would use a planer to grind the tobacco leaves into shredded tobacco, put it into the pipe, light it with fire and smoke it.
Wang Xiangjun, Gu Hongguang's wife, was furious when she saw Gu Hongguang smoking his pipe again. She walked over and slapped him on the shoulder: "Why are you smoking again, old man? I told you to smoke less, but you still smoke."
Even after being slapped hard by his wife, Gu Hongguang continued to smoke his pipe calmly, his movements not even changing: "I smoke whenever I want."
Wang Xiangjun was so angry that her head hurt because of this sentence, but she couldn't do anything about this man. This man was really annoying. No matter what she said or scolded him, the expression on his face didn't change at all, and he still did what he wanted to do and never changed.
Wang Xiangjun was so angry that she started to talk without thinking: "Smoking, smoking, smoking all day long. I think you will die from smoking sooner or later."
Gu Hongguang's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Everyone must die one day, and I'd like to die on cigarettes."
Wang Xiangjun was immediately furious. Gu Fengling, who was watching nearby, quickly pulled her mother to the other side to avoid a fight.
Gu Fengling quickly patted her mother's chest to help her calm down: "Mom, you need to calm down. Don't take Dad's words to heart. Be careful not to get angry and hurt yourself."
Wang Xiangjun fell on Gu Fengling: "Ling! I think your father is in this world just to torture me. I have been bullied every day since I married him."
Gu Hongguang, who was smoking quietly nearby, took the time to reply: "I have never made you angry. Don't confuse right and wrong."
Seeing that her mother was about to lose her temper again, Gu Fengling quickly scolded her old father: "Shut up! Dad, you should also say less. If you like to smoke, just stay quiet."
All right! There was a pair of tigresses at home. He couldn't afford to offend them, so why not just hide from them? Gu Hongguang sat down in another place, trying to stay as far away from the mother and daughter as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
Gu Fengling was still comforting her old mother when she heard a knock on the door. Although she wanted to open the door, her mother's temper still needed to be appeased. Otherwise, as soon as she let go of her hand, her mother, who was still angry, would definitely go to trouble her father, and then the family would be in chaos again.
So Gu Fengling looked at Gu Zikun who was sitting under the tree and said, "Second brother, go open the door. I think I heard someone knocking on the door."
Gu Zikun lazily leaned back in his chair. When he heard his younger sister's words, he immediately called his wife: "Aman, go open the door."
Fang Aman responded and ran over to open the door.
Gu Fengling looked at her second brother like this and even put her mother, who needed comforting, aside. "Second brother, I think you have become even lazier since you married Sister Aman. I don't know how Sister Aman fell in love with you."
Gu Zikun didn't think there was anything wrong with what his younger sister said. Instead, he openly admitted, "Needless to say? It's my face, of course! A'man can't move a step when she sees me. She has to marry me."
Gu Fengling admitted that her second brother was quite good-looking, but she felt that saying such shameless words was a disgrace to his reputation.
Even Wang Xiangjun, who was in a rage, looked at her second son with strange eyes. She opened her mouth and slowly uttered what she wanted to say: "Zikun! You better have some shame! Otherwise, Mom is worried that you will be beaten sooner or later."
Gu Zikun remained nonchalant: "I'm the captain's son, who dares to beat me?"
Gu Fengling couldn't stand her second brother's attitude and deliberately contradicted him: "What's the use of a captain's son? Look at that educated youth Lin from the Youth House. He even beat up the sons of four captains! The captains didn't even dare to bother Lin."
Gu Zikun remained calm: "I didn't provoke her, why would she come to pick a fight with me?"
Gu Fengling wanted to say something more, but she saw someone outside the door walk in and she successfully shut up.
If she didn't know clearly that she was not dreaming, Gu Fengling would almost doubt whether the scene before her was an illusion.
Under the moonlight, two people walked in hand in hand. The man was handsome and the woman was bright and beautiful. This scene was like a painting that was deeply engraved in Gu Fengling's mind.
Lin Xuanjiao walked into the room and looked at the large group of people in front of her. She was a little unsure which one was the captain she was looking for. When she couldn't find him, she asked directly, "Excuse me, which one is the captain?"
When Gu Hongguang heard that she was looking for him, he finally put down the pipe he was smoking, stood up from the stool and walked over to Lin Xuanjiao: "I'm Gu Hongguang, what can I do for you?"
Lin Xuanjiao looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and straight, with regular features and clear eyes, which made people feel good about him at first sight. It seemed that the captain this time had been chosen well.
Because she had a good first impression of the captain, Lin Xuanjiao smiled and said, "Captain, I'd like to ask for leave to go to the county town tomorrow. I hope you can give me a letter of introduction. I'm Lin Xuanjiao."
Lin Xuanjiao added her own name to the last sentence because she was worried that Gu Hongguang didn't know who she was.
In fact, there was really no need for Lin Xuanjiao to add such a sentence. After all, Lin Xuanjiao had a strong presence in the eyes of the villagers, and almost everyone knew her.
Song Ying'an also spoke at the right time: "Captain, please give me a letter of introduction. I'm Song Ying'an. Thank you!"
This time, Gu Hongguang really had no impression of the man in front of him. Only when he saw his iconic hair and eyes and associated his surname with Song did he put him in the right place.
Gu Hongguang looked at the two people holding hands with a complicated expression. They were actually together. When he first heard the rumor from the villagers, he thought it was fake. After all, he had never heard of any intersection between the two. Who would believe this explosive announcement of getting married!
Anyway, Gu Hongguang is one of those who don't believe it. Not only does he not believe it himself, he also asks those who believe it not to believe it either, and says that this statement sounds fake.
Anyway, Gu Hongguang looked at the two people standing together with a complicated expression on their faces. After all, he couldn't resist what he was thinking. Gu Hongguang still had a glimmer of hope: "Are you two together?"
