Chapter 2: Manor Dream in 1995

"Xiaoying, why don't you take the child into the house first?" Gu Jinnan glanced at Gu Yi in his wife's arms and said.

"Wow wow wow" When Gu Yi heard that his father Gu Jinnan wanted to send him back, Gu Yi immediately stopped doing it, and quickly cried to protest, his hands and feet were still waving in the air.

Gu Yi's fierce reaction surprised everyone. In everyone's impression, Gu Yi has always been a quiet, obedient and sensible image since he was born. He should eat, drink, sleep, and never make a noise like other babies. It is very worry-free. Why did he suddenly have such a violent reaction?

"Wait! Let him listen here." Grandpa Gu Yunsong said in a heart-wrenching manner.

"Sure enough!" Gu Yi calmed down when he heard Gu Yi's voice and looked at everyone quietly.

"I'll go! There will be no monsters at home, right?" Seeing Gu Yi's magical reaction, everyone couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

"What a panic, they are all their own family members. Maybe our ancestors are psychic and show their saints. I want to hear how we unfilial descendants are destroying our family business! What's there to be afraid of!" Grandpa Gu Yunsong patted and scolded him sternly.

Indeed, there are often legends in mountain villages that babies have pure minds and are prone to spiritual communication, perhaps because they have learned from their ancestors' spirits or foresee the future.

Gu Yunsong's scolding, Gu Jinnan and Gu Jinping also recalled it. In fact, Gu Yunsong was a little dissatisfied with the choices in their hearts.

"Actually, I think it's completely unnecessary for us to replace this land. Jinping, you and the two brothers in Jinnan, one learn the plasterer and the other learn the carpenter. They rely on their skills to make a living. If they can't take care of the original land of their own, why should they be jealous of other places?"

"Besides, the fields are far away in the back mountain. Although the fields are good, you are the one who grows vegetables, but you are not sure if you are the one who eats vegetables. It is not like the field in front of our house, which can be taken care of at a glance."

"Think about it again, our homeland was originally a whole piece of land, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was so good that it was a flat land! You changed this land and they were together here, blocking ventilation and blocking the sunshine. You could no longer see the pastoral landscape of your home at a glance. This is breaking Feng Shui."

"Besides, there are long conflicts in the interests in front of and behind this house, and there will inevitably be conflicts between neighbors that will make everyone unhappy, and it will not be worth the loss."

The person who spoke was the eldest aunt. Gu Yi remembered that the eldest aunt Yang Yanzhen was a very capable and powerful woman.

The life paths of my cousin and my cousin before college were completely based on my aunt's strict planning. They changed schools, chose high schools, inspected university majors, learned the skills of applying for volunteers, arranged civil service exams, and went through relationships from not understanding to mastering.

Facts proved that my aunt's education was very successful. My cousin and my cousin both got into the police academy and then got into a public office. They had a relaxed job and were well-fed. They also found good candidates on holidays and had a happy life.

Unlike Gu Yi, he struggled all the way, suffered a lot of losses and wasted time. Fortunately, he recognized the construction industry and worked hard for decades. With his tenacity and insight, and perhaps a little luck, he finally gained some fame and connections in middle age, and his career was successful, and he caught up with the progress of the siblings.

Gu Yi is not clear about whether there is any such scene in his previous life. Perhaps it is precisely because of his intervention and the butterfly effect that the aunt told her true thoughts.

Although the old aunt now seems not as smart, capable and powerful as she remembers in later generations, she can see her intelligence in her heart from the clear and well-founded analysis.

Gu Yi couldn't help but smile happily, dancing to express his approval.

"Come on, let me hug you. This little guy is really spiritual. I wonder if our old Gu family is about to have another amazing person." This scene happened to fall into Gu Yunsong's eyes, and Gu Yunsong couldn't help but carry Gu Yi from his daughter-in-law.

"What do you two think about the words said by the eldest daughter-in-law?" Gu Yunsong asked at the grandson after praising her grandson, and his consent was beyond words.

Gu Yi could see that his grandfather didn't want to replace the homestead, and his aunt's words just reached his heart.

The old man is old and has feelings for his own things and doesn't like changes even more. For their generation, his own land is equal to their other son, so how can he be willing to cede it?

"I think my sister-in-law makes sense." Gu Yi's father said voluntarily.

"I also think Yan Zhen's words make sense. It is the most important thing for the family to live in a comfortable place. Don't think about the things that are there or not." Gu Jinping glared at Gu Jinnan and laughed at his wife.

"Okay, then let's give up this matter. No need to mention it in the future. Go to bed." The old man returned Gu Yi to his daughter-in-law and waved his hand to walk towards his room.

Gu Yi lay quietly in his mother's arms and watched all this. His pure big eyes flashed with a light of inspiration. "Since ancient times, greed and charming hearts, only the light of wisdom can break the illusion." At this moment, Gu Yi's heart was like a mirror.

Although his family has formed a unified opinion on replacing the land, Gu Yi knew that as long as this matter was not completely over, he could not relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, Han Xi's cousin did not give up immediately after receiving the news of rejection. He came to the door to plead with cigarettes and alcohol many times. Han Xi was also the cousin of grandfather Gu Yunsong. Rural people pay the most attention to friendship, which made Gu Yi's grandfather Gu Yunsong almost agreed several times. Fortunately, Gu Yi was staring tightly, and every time he was stopped by Gu Yi's cry.

Later, every time Han Xi came to the door and asked about land replacement, Gu Yi would burst into tears. As long as he didn't mention it, there would be nothing wrong. As long as Gu Yi cried, everyone in the Gu family would firmly firm their ideas and resolutely not change them.

The matter took two or three months. Seeing that there was no chance here, Han Xi's family could only settle for the second best place and set up a homestead. This matter was considered over, and the protagonist of this matter naturally became something that the villagers talked about.

When all this was settled, Gu Yi was breathing in the high-quality fresh air that had not been smog-filled by the exhaust gas emitted by various factories these days, growing vigorously.

"Seven, eight crawl, ten move." Gu Yi only took nine months to learn how to walk. This was because Gu Yi deliberately delayed it for two months in order to be less eye-catching. Later, he couldn't help but climb so imaginatively every day, and immediately began to show his staggering steps in the first nine months.

Then one evening in midsummer in 1995, Gu Yi, who had grown to twelve months old, ran away and picked up a piece of charcoal in the charcoal tank on the stove. Under the shocked gaze of the family, he circled a circle on the concrete floor in front of the door, and drew two houses in a crooked manner. There were trees, ponds, and fields in the circle.
