Chapter 8 Whose little one is back?
Gui's second grandfather's house is not far from the old house of the Gui family, but the front and back streets. Gui Chongyang followed Mei's side and met several villagers along the way.
In fact, Gui Chongyang is wearing a long shirt and looks delicate, which is different from the temperament of the teenagers in the village.
Many people in the village reject "Xigui", but the neighbors are different after all. In addition, the character of Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother is placed here, which is mostly respected, so several families here still have contacts with the Gui family.
A lady who came back from chasing ducks took the initiative to ask with curiosity: "Chun'er, is this a visitor?" I heard that a child was looking for the Gui family, and it turned out to be a guest of your family. ”
Gui Chun stopped: "Aunt Zhang, this is not a guest, it's my cousin...... It's my fourth uncle's family. ”
Aunt Zhang didn't react for a while, and said with a smile: "Which fourth uncle?" This baby is strangely handsome. ”
Gui Chun paused and said, "The fourth uncle of the grandfather's family." ”
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, the smile on her face froze, and her gaze at Gui Chongyang was full of scrutiny and suspicion.
Gui Chongyang's heart tightened, before this aunt opened her mouth just now, Gui Chun had already whispered that she was the neighbor of Gui's second grandfather's family, and the relationship between the two families was good. Such a person didn't smile when he heard his identity, so what about the reaction of the other villagers?
Aunt Zhang looked at Gui Chongyang's righteous appearance, rolled her eyes, pulled Gui Chun aside, and said in a "low voice": "His son is not a good thing, and his son looks vain." Don't be too real, his little beast killed your family back then, this time a small one came first, maybe it was his Lao Tzu who had a weak heart, and sent it out to find out first! ”
Aunt Zhang is not "a dog with a mouse and a nosy", so she doesn't like Gui Chongyang, but because Gui Yuan almost cheated her man. The Ding silver money lost by the village chief of Gui back then also had five taels of the Zhang family, and later it was the village chief of Gui who sold the land and the house to fill some of it, so that Aunt Zhang's man escaped. Rao is like this, and it is scary to think about it, so as long as I hear someone mention Guiyuan Aunt Zhang, I have to curse a few words.
Gui Chun was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhang, my fourth uncle was gone last year, and only my cousin was left in the family, so he returned to his hometown." ”
Gui Chongyang was wearing filial piety clothes, and Aunt Zhang only thought that he was his dead mother, but she didn't expect that her parents were dead. It is said that "good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years", who would have thought that Gui Yuan, who had a wolf's heart and dog lungs and killed nine human lives, would die when he said death.
Aunt Zhang is the most big-mouthed, and when she got the news, she couldn't wait to publicize it immediately, and she didn't care about continuing to look at Gui Chongyang coldly, so she hurried back with the ducks.
Gui Chun was afraid that Gui Chongyang would be uncomfortable, so he comforted: "The people in the village have a lot of complaints about the fourth uncle, but they just say a few words, you don't have to take it to heart!" ”
Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "It's okay, Brother Chun doesn't have to worry about me." In the end, my father did something wrong back then, and the father and son repaid the debt, and it is only right, and I will try my best to compensate for those people he owes in the future. ”
This is also one of the purposes of Gui Chongyang's return to his hometown, and naturally he will not have the face to care about the coldness of others. The village children and villagers who had nothing to do with the "Jiuding Difficulty" were met before, and when they met the former victims, let alone cold words, they would be beaten and scolded.
Gui Chongyang is not pedantic, he will not let others beat and scold, but he will not obliterate the desire to make amends. Human life is bigger than the sky, and with nine human lives in it, where can it be so easy to forget.
Gui Chongyang's heart was heavy, and his face was a little gloomy. It's not that he is biased towards his own son, but "Dad" is really not a bad person. He is erudite and talented, well-versed in ancient and modern, and does not have the crazy temperament of a talented man, and treats people with the most peaceful and kind-hearted.
Although "Dad" did not justify his mistakes back then, Gui Chongyang could also imagine it. "Dad" was only sixteen years old at the time, and he failed in the county test, and he made a mistake in a moment of confusion. He didn't hesitate, but he was unlucky enough to encounter a thief and lose his money, and he didn't even have a chance to turn back.
The dead "Jiuding" is not a stranger, but the uncle, brother, and cousin of "Dad", and the rest are real relatives such as uncles and uncles. Because of the "Nine Ding Difficulty", the village chief Gui died, which was the pro-son of "Dad". The sinner is him, but he is also the worst person in my heart all these years.
And because of that loss of silver, "Dad" had a heart disease, like a frightened bird, and was always wary of outsiders. When Gui Chongyang was a child, Gui Yuan told him about various scams in ancient and modern times, and he was annoyed that he would only "talk on paper", if he hadn't accidentally lost the two hundred taels of silver, he wouldn't have killed those people, and he didn't dare to go back to his hometown. Even if he has a great talent, the "father" is also a little rich, he closes his door and lives a small life, he doesn't dare to make a wrong step, and the only thing that goes out of line is in teaching his son.
What Gui Chongyang got from "Dad" is far more than people imagine. The more he knows about "Dad's" talent and goodness, the more Gui Chongyang loves him.
When "Dad" mentions "hometown", he always involuntarily shows a look of nostalgia; When it comes to my father, I always have red circles; It was the two siblings, perhaps because of guilt and remorse, who never mentioned it.
"Dad" wants to return to his hometown, which is a secret that Gui Chongyang discovered at a very young age.
Gui Chongyang was able to return to Beijing from Nanjing by himself, and naturally he was able to bring back the remains of his parents. But he was able to come back and endure the rejection of the villagers and the coldness of his relatives, but he did not want his deceased parents to be treated the same. When the "debt" is paid off, he will take his parents back to his hometown and let the "father" return to his roots.
Gui Chun's mouth was clumsy, and he comforted him and didn't know how to persuade him next.
Mei stepped forward and touched Gui Chongyang's head, and said, "Look at you, you have already read, then you will be good at studying, and you will have more returns for blind dates in the future." ”
Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother looked down on scholars, but Mei's was clear that Shinong, industry and commerce, and the four people were different.
Gui Chongyang nodded, Gui Chun and Gui Qiu are old, and now they have to find a way to make money, and most of the livelihoods will fall on the heads of these two brothers, and the little nephews' mothers have not yet appeared, "Xigui" wants to regain a foothold in the case of the villagers' disgust, and it will depend on Gui Chongyang's fame. Now he has two years left in his filial piety period, and when the time comes, he is not afraid of a child test.
Mei Duo was beside me, I only felt bitter in my heart, I only sent the old one last year, and now I have a small one, in addition to eating and chewing, I also have to read, how much silver does it cost? My aunt is about to become a living Bodhisattva, but after all these years, her eyes are going to be burned, and when will she be a cow and a horse for the Gui family?
When Gui Chongyang and his entourage returned to the old house, Gui Chun was not in a hurry to leave, and watched Mei's aunt and nephew clean up the house, so he went out with a bucket to carry water.
Along the way, few people asked about the little guests of the Gui family, and Gui Chun told Gui Chongyang's identity over and over again.
Before it was dark, almost every household in Mujia Village got the news, who was gone, and who was the youngest.
