Originally, it was normal for the whole family to come to sit down. But coming a day early and bringing baggage with them made the feeling not so good. Gu Chengyu thought for a moment, he would definitely not be able to stay at his house.
No matter how much he complained in his heart, he could not be less polite. Gu Chengyu smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Auntie, uncle!" and called the remaining cousins.
"Oh! Isn't this our little scholar? Oh! The longer the little treasure gets, the better! He really brings credit to our old Gu family! When you hit my aunt, I thought you would be successful, but now you just agree?
"
When Gu Xiu saw Gu Chengyu, her eyes lit up, she took three steps and two steps at a time, stepped forward and took Gu Chengyu's hand, said in admiration, and giggled happily! From time to time, bits of saliva flew out of her mouth, which made Gu Chengyu unbearable.
.
Gu Chengyu quickly took out her hand and turned her body to one side, "Auntie! Let me help you with your luggage? You must be tired after working on a bullock cart for a few hours!" After saying that, he hurriedly took the baggage off Auntie Gu's shoulders.
.
"How can you, a scholar, take this? Come on, I know you have a aunt in your heart!" Aunt Gu patted Gu Chengyu's hand and prevented Gu Chengyu from getting the baggage. Of course, Gu Chengyu was happy and relaxed, as he could avoid being caught anyway.
Just wash your face.
However, he was really not used to Aunt Gu greeting him so enthusiastically. He couldn't help but think of the way Aunt Gu would always turn her nostrils upward and look at him askance when she came to his house when he was a child.
At this moment, the conversation between the two seemed very harmonious, as if Aunt Gu had always treated Gu Chengyu like this, with natural expressions and movements. Gu Chengyu sighed in her heart, she is also a drama queen!
"Brother Dong, Brother West, why don't you call me uncle? This is your scholar's uncle! Aren't you all clamoring to come see him at home? Isn't this coming?" Gu Xiu pointed at Gu Chengyu, facing behind him
Two children as old as Gu Chengyu said.
Brother Dong glanced at Gu Chengyu, "Is this the kid you mentioned who fought with me when I was a kid? Or is it the poor scholar that others call him?" Liao Dong didn't, so he had a vague idea of a scholar. He only heard a few sour words from others.
The curse words he used to say, such as being mean and rude, were kept in mind.
Liao Xi smiled at Gu Chengyu and did not speak. He seemed to be a shy boy.
"You kid, how can you say that about your brother-in-law?" Gu Xiu patted Liao Dong's shoulder and cursed lovingly.
Gu Chengyu looked at her coldly, it seemed that her aunt had not changed at all. You must know that children cannot be so spoiled. If you don't teach them well, they will be dealt with by others sooner or later.
"It doesn't matter, my nephew is still young! Just teach him carefully!" Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He was already nine years old and he still didn't understand anything.
The women working in the yard also laughed when they heard what Gu Chengyu said. They were curious that Gu Xiuyi and his family had arrived early, so they kept looking here. Everyone saw what happened just now. The boy looked like
But he's about the same age as Gu Chengyu!
Gu Xiu didn't hear the laughter, and then asked Gu Chengyu: "Where is your mother? Why haven't you seen her for so long? Is she not at home?"
Gu Xiu always remembers to cause trouble for Mrs. Lu. Her sister-in-law is here, but you have been hiding. Do you still know the etiquette?
When Mrs. Lu walked to the door, she happened to hear these words, "Hey! It's my aunt who's here? Xiaobao, didn't you say you were going to pick up your aunt? Why did you pick her up so early? Pick her up.
I didn’t even say hello to my mother when I came here! Sister, please sit down in the room!"
Aren’t you going to give me eye drops in front of the folks? Then I’ll give you one too. Isn’t this because I can’t wait to sit down at the table? I haven’t even picked you up yet, and you’re here. You can’t wait. As for whether you said anything
Yes, that's not important.
When Gu Xiu heard this, she was so angry that a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat. She couldn't spit it out or swallow it!
Mrs. Lu was thankful that Gu Chengyu blocked her in the yard for a while, otherwise her family's gift would have been spoiled by Gu Xiuhao.
"Don't I miss you and my third brother? Come and see you earlier."
Gu Chengyu held up his forehead, okay! We have just entered the house, and now we are at loggerheads. Thinking about it, the Gu family must have been in dire straits during the period when Gu Xiu was here. They are all drama queens!
Father Gu came in from outside with a basket on his back. He had gone to the mountains to collect pigweed. He also raised a pig at home.
When he looked up and saw Gu Xiu, he was quite surprised, "Sister, eldest brother-in-law! Why are you here? I thought you would come tomorrow!"
Father Gu really didn't like to pick up any of the pots, and the smile on Gu Xiu's face was a little stiff.
When Father Gu saw so many people, he felt embarrassed. Their house couldn't accommodate so many people. Besides, people with big and small bags wouldn't need so many salutes if they stayed here for two or three days, right?
"What's wrong? You don't want me to come?" Aunt Gu still spoke to her brother very casually.
"How can that be possible? Now that you are here, how will the shop be renovated?" Gu Xiu always used the excuse that the shop was busy, and Father Gu just asked casually, not wanting Gu Xiu to react so strongly.
"Xiaobao has become a scholar, so why don't we come here? What's a shop? After riding in a bullock cart for more than two hours, my body is almost falling apart, and I don't know how to let us go in to rest." Gu Xiu said as he spoke.
, while pulling Liao Dong and Liao Xi towards the main room.
"Oh! Is the girl really back?" Uncle Gu walked in from outside the courtyard. He heard from the villagers that Gu Xiu was back. He thought it was not that early! When Uncle Gu saw it, he actually came back and brought a family with him.
son.
"Brother-in-law, the Changqing family may not be able to live in it. Please ask a few of them to live in our house." The Gu family used to be able to squeeze in even if they were not divided into separate families, but now that they are divided, there is no room for so many people. The yard has been divided.
, some are piled up with debris in the first and second rooms.
"I see there are a lot of empty rooms in the Changqing family! It's okay, let's just squeeze in." The house in the eldest brother's house is not as comfortable as the Changqing family's, and the food here is good. Aren't they fools to go there?
Uncle Gu also had good intentions, but he didn't expect Gu Xiu to refuse directly, which made him look a little confused.
When Gu Chengyu saw it, he had a bad feeling. Don't even think about squeezing with him! That wouldn't work. He didn't want to sleep in the same room as a naughty kid.
"Auntie, you see our house is full of clutter. Otherwise, why don't you call a few of them today and sleep at my uncle's house first, and then move here after everything is tidied up? The house is all messed up! It's still being cleaned.
My nephew doesn’t want to wrong my cousin and the others.” If you directly say that you won’t be allowed to live there, it’s definitely not going to work. Anyway, you said that you’re sorting it out, but you still insist on living there, isn’t that inappropriate?
Aunt Wang, who was helping in the yard, saw what was going on and rolled her eyes.
"Xiaobao! Didn't your father say that the house was piled with cow dung in preparation for fertilizing the fields? Has it all been cleaned up?"
"Ah?" Gu Chengyu almost wanted to give Aunt Wang a thumbs up. Isn't this too harsh?
In the end, the eldest son of the Gu Xiu family, Liao Jin, moved into Uncle Gu's house, while the daughter, Liao Fen, and her daughter, and the second son, Liao Yin, and their family lived in Gu's father's house. Gu Wan was relieved to know this.
