Chapter 17: In the same boat through thick and thin
through thick and thin
Gu's mother has been taking her with her to greet the female guests. Her identity is not a girlfriend, but the daughter of Gu's friend.
Gu Feng had told her about this before. Firstly, she did not have a formal title. In rural areas, a girlfriend was not considered a serious title. If she had this title, she would be looked down upon.
Of course, neither of them care about this kind of thing, but Gu Mu and other elders do.
Secondly, they are probably also afraid that this girlfriend will blow off one day, and that it will block their son's marriage in the future, right?
At noon, the Gu family held a banquet. There were twenty tables with twelve people at each table. They were packed upstairs, downstairs, and inside and outside the courtyard.
Qing Yi was finally arranged next to Gu Feng. This table was filled with Gu Feng's family. His parents, grandparents, and his parents' brothers and sisters were all close relatives. Only Qing Yi was an outsider.
"Why haven't Gu and Gu Zhou come back yet?" After sitting down, Grandpa Gu looked at the two empty seats on the table and frowned, showing a bit of displeasure.
Qing Yi also looked at the two positions and turned again. Sure enough, Gu Feng is a brother and sister. Now only Gu Feng and Gu Yu have arrived, but the other two have not been seen yet.
"Dad, Tongtong had something to do yesterday, so he rushed here early this morning. He should be back in Guzhou soon... That guy came back last night. Didn't he report to you early this morning? He has something to do today and won't come back until tonight?"
Father Gu explained to Grandpa Gu, which finally made Grandpa Gu laugh again. He then waited for a while for Gu Tong, who might be arriving soon, but in the end he still didn't arrive, so he had to open the table first.
Firecrackers were set off, and many people came to toast. Of course, everyone who came over looked at Qing Yi with a meaningful look. Some female guests would even pull her to say a few words. Fortunately, they all knew what day it was and what they were saying.
Although they are false, they are words that make people sound very comfortable.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and some of the people who had to leave had left. Some of those who were far away would stay one night before leaving the next day, so the banquet started again early, and the delicious food and drinks continued. That is to say, this
A meal almost lasts from noon to evening
Fortunately, these have nothing to do with Qing Yi, because she is still a guest, and Gu Feng lets her go back to the small building where he lives early without having to participate in anything.
