Chapter 473 Something Good Is Coming for You
“Sure!” The Chen family readily agreed.
We can finally have a good meal again!
They still remember the meal that Old Master Gu had that day; it was a more lavish meal than their Chinese New Year celebration.
Even though I had just finished eating, the thought of several large plates of meat and vegetables made me swallow hard.
Ma Xiulian wasn't craving meat, but she asked with some curiosity, "How old is Qingshan today?"
Jiang Manyun said softly, "I'm forty years old."
The Chen family was stunned upon hearing this, looking incredulously at Gu Qingshan, who was sitting upright on a stool with a handsome face and a straight back: "Director Gu is actually forty years old?! You can't tell at all!"
They always thought he was just over thirty, but they didn't expect him to be older than the eldest brother, Chen Jianguo!
Because Gu Qingshan really looked young, tall and upright, handsome and energetic, more good-looking than any other man in the entire commune, or even the entire town.
Helian Jiao, however, remained calm. What was there to be surprised about?
Many races in the Six Realms, as their cultivation level increases, will not change their appearance after reaching adulthood, and will remain young in appearance and body for their entire lives.
"Does Tingyun have older brothers and sisters?" Zhou Zhaodi asked hesitantly, afraid of touching on the couple's painful memories.
After all, they were both forty years old, and Gu Tingyun was only two years older than Guaibao. They had never heard them mention other children, so it was inevitable that Gu Tingyun would have some uneasy thoughts.
Jiang Manyun shook her head and explained with a smile, "No, Qingshan used to be on missions all the time, and he might not come home for a year or two. Tingyun is a late-life child. If his right eye hadn't been damaged during his last mission and he couldn't continue, he wouldn't have retired and come home."
Gu Qingshan is covered in hideous scars and has internal injuries. It's just that he's still young. When he reaches the old man's age, his health probably won't be much better than the old man's.
Of course, there's no need to tell outsiders about any of this.
However, in the past year or so, those scars seem to have faded a bit, though she doesn't know if it's just her imagination.
Every time she asked him this, Gu Tingyun remained silent, not saying that he knew his father had a hidden injury, so he would ask the little hamster to give him a small goldfish to take home for his parents to eat.
The men continued to sit and chat, while the wives helped clear the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Chen Erbao was thinking about Da Bai: "Sweetie, when is Da Bai coming back?"
Helian Jiao shook her head, looking innocent and cute, and said, "I don't know."
She no longer intends to eat her chubby pet, so naturally she won't restrain it.
Chen Erbao sat on a stool by the door, waiting anxiously.
After cleaning the kitchen, it still hadn't returned, so they had to go home with regret.

The next day at noon, while the Chen family was cooking, Old Lady Li came to visit again.
Li Chunhua felt a pang of heartache upon seeing her and hurriedly said, "Mom, we didn't get much meat this year, there's really nothing left!"
Her mother must have heard that the commune distributed pork a couple of days ago, so she came to beg for money again.
If she takes it away, Jinbao and Xiaobao won't have anything to eat.
Although she had begged Zhao Mei to hide most of the meat for her in order to avoid Old Lady Li, she wanted to give none of the meat to her family.
The other branches of the Chen family also disliked Old Lady Li; no one greeted her, and they all went about their own business.
Contrary to her usual behavior, Old Lady Li greeted everyone with a smile, saying, "Chunhua, I'm not here to ask for pork this time. I have good news for you! Come on, let's go inside and talk quietly."
I wrote an extra chapter, so I'll update three chapters tonight.
