Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears indiscriminately. Her vision was too blurry and she could not clearly see the young man in the yard.
"Mom! I'm back." The window of the main room was open, and he had already seen Ms. Lu standing in front of the window.
Ms. Lu quickly grabbed her shoes and ran into the yard, "Xiaobao? You are back."
When Gu Chengyu saw his own mother, he couldn't help but feel excited. He looked at Mrs. Lu and found that Mrs. Lu's appearance was still so young, but her spirit was slightly haggard.
Mrs. Lu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Chengyu's clothes, and touched Gu Chengyu's arms with both hands, as if she wanted to confirm whether this was a real person.
"It's Xiaobao!" Mrs. Lu pushed Gu Chengyu away, looked at Gu Chengyu, and saw that Gu Chengyu had grown much taller.
"Mom! Where is dad?" Gu Chengyu's eyes were a little sour, and she quickly suppressed the emotion in her heart, held Lu's hand, and asked about her father.
"Your father has gone to work in the field. Now that there is so much work in the fields, how can he have time to spare?" When Mrs. Lu saw Gu Chengyu asking about the old man, there was some dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Ah! Is his uncle back?" Wang Yueniang held her two-year-old son in her arms and stood in the yard looking at the two people who were talking, with a look of surprise on her face.
Gu Chengyu turned around and glanced at Wang Yueniang, but his eyes were attracted by the baby in Wang Yueniang's hands.
This should be Wang Yueniang's youngest son, who was pregnant when her affair with Gu Chengyi came to light.
This little kid was quite handsome, maybe more like Wang Yueniang. Seeing him as a stranger, he shrank towards Wang Yueniang's arms.
Wang Yueniang noticed Gu Chengyu's gaze, and then she remembered that the baby in her arms was Gu Chengyu's nephew!
"Brother Chang, call me uncle!" Wang Yueniang turned the baby's head and face towards Gu Chengyu, urging the baby to call someone.
Gu Wanchang may be shy and young, so he is naturally afraid of strangers like Gu Chengyu. Despite Wang Yueniang's urging, Gu Wanchang refused to call anyone.
"Brother Chang, didn't you say you wanted to eat hibiscus cake? If you call uncle, my mother will buy it for you, okay?"
Gu Chengyu looked a little embarrassed. No matter what, the child was right. Now that he had seen it, he couldn't pretend not to have seen it.
"Brother Chang? Is your name Gu Wanchang?" Gu Chengyu turned around and walked towards the couple, reaching out to take off a jade pendant that was hanging on her body.
He bought this jade pendant to match his clothes. It was worth three hundred taels of silver, and it wouldn't be shabby to give it to his nephew as a meeting gift.
"Yes! My name is Gu Wanchang." Wang Yueniang also planned to coax her youngest son to call him uncle, but unfortunately Brother Chang refused to speak and even hugged her. Wang Yueniang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
When Wang Yueniang saw Gu Chengyu's action, she knew Gu Chengyu's intention. Her eyes lit up. The quality of this jade pendant was not cheap.
Gu Chengyi was very stuck on money. Except for household expenses, he simply couldn't get any money out of it.
She had to plan for her son. With Erlang and Sanlang around, her brother Chang's life was not easy. In the future, when Gu Chengyi passes away, how much brother Chang will get?
Before Brother Chang was born, she was saving money for him. Such a jade pendant was not cheap, so she had to hide it well, so that the little bitch wouldn't let Gu Chengyi take it away.
"This is a meeting gift for Brother Chang."
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth behind her, but she didn't say anything. As an uncle, it was still a gift for a meeting, but that jade pendant was definitely not cheap. It was really cheap for Wang Yueniang.
Gu Chengyu handed the jade pendant to Brother Chang. The little boy grabbed his mother's lapel and looked at him with curious eyes.
"This is Xiaoyu'er, do you want it?" It happens to be a fish-shaped jade pendant, and the little kid should like it.
Gu Wanchang stared at Xiao Yu'er without saying anything, but it was clear that his eyes were very longing.
"Oh! His brother-in-law, how can this be done? This is too precious, don't let him break it." Although Wang Yueniang is coveted for this jade pendant, she can't be too direct.
Gu Chengyu couldn't bear to coax the little baby. He had just come back and his luggage was still on the carriage!
Ah! Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that there were Zhu Pang and Gu Changbai in the carriage. He was only happy and forgot about these people.
"This is a greeting gift. It's nothing. Keep it for the baby! He's too young to wear it yet."
After handing the jade pendant to Wang Yueniang, Gu Chengyu turned around and prepared to tell Mrs. Lu about Gu Changbai.
"Mom! It's better to send someone to the fields to call dad back. I brought a good friend and two Gu family members when I came back this time."
"Oh! You brought your friend here, why didn't you tell me earlier? You are really neglecting me. Let me come in quickly."
Mrs. Lu only heard the first sentence, complaining that Gu Chengyu did not invite his friends in immediately. This was not the way to treat guests.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "I'll invite someone in right now, and you can send someone to call daddy quickly."
At this time, the dumb mother-in-law led two girls over to salute Gu Chengyu, "The fifth master is back, I have seen the fifth master!"
Madam Lu and Gu Chengyu had just reunited, so it was hard for them to step forward and salute immediately.
"Well! You guys go and ask the old man to come back, just say I'm back."
Gu Changbai and Mr. Liu looked at the house in front of them and looked at each other, "Old man, your third brother's family is really getting up. Look at the big blue brick house in this water. The yard is also big, although it is not as good as the one in Fucheng.
The courtyard is grand, but it’s the only one in the village.”
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh, they didn't know that the Gu family had really become prosperous.
"Should we go down? Why didn't anyone say anything?"
Gu Changbai was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, his long-lost brother was back, so he shouldn't have such a reaction! Could it be that the third brother looks down on his poor second brother?
The carriage is still parked at the entrance of the courtyard. After all, there are too many carriages and they cannot enter the yard. There are three carriages for rent, so everything needs to be packed up first.
Zhu Pang waited and waited in the carriage. He knew that Gu Chengyu had not been home for more than a year and must have missed his relatives at home. But it had been a while and Gu Chengyu hadn't come over yet. Could it be that he had forgotten himself?
After Gu Chengyu finished his instructions, he quickly walked towards the courtyard gate. Zhu Pang came to the door for the first time, and it was very rude of him to leave people outside.
"Senior Brother Zhu, I'm so sorry! I almost forgot you in the carriage. Mingmo and the others are already moving things. Come home quickly."
Gu Chengyu cupped his hands towards Zhu Pang and expressed his extreme apology.
"Jin Yu! You are so uninterested. You are planning to leave me hanging on the carriage until dark!"
Zhu Pang complained, but judging from his expression, it was clear that he was not arguing with Gu Chengyu.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so excited to see my mother." Gu Chengyu said frankly that she missed her mother, and she was not embarrassed at all.
"Hey! I understand."
Zhu Pang patted Gu Chengyu on the shoulder. In fact, it was also the first time for him to leave home. He had been out for about half a month, and he really missed his mother, but he was embarrassed to say it.
"What about the two people at the back? What should we do?"
