Chapter 42, a handful of years
"If I'm not mistaken, I guess." Gu Tingcheng nodded.
"What about the sword, girl? You show me. ”
Gu Qingcheng looked at this somewhat crazy old man, and was a little suspicious, was it really her grandfather?
The clothes he was wearing were not bad, his hair was gray, and it stands to reason that this old man should not be that old, and his hair was all white.
"At home, let's go." Gu Qingcheng turned around.
The old man also followed, walking next to Gu Tingcheng, glancing at Gu Chengcheng from time to time, and then at the fox she was holding.
"Girl, where did you come from, you fox?" I still couldn't help but ask.
"Picked it up." Gu Qingcheng looked at this lively and active old man.
"Oh, good pickup. Girl, did your mother pass on her internal strength to you? The old man asked in a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng paused.
Look at the old man
"What did you say?" Gu Tingcheng didn't quite understand why he said that her mother had passed on her internal strength.
In fact, she herself has some doubts, after all, the internal force of this body feels really strong, it shouldn't be at this age, but she doesn't have this memory.
"The internal force in your body is strong, even if you are extremely talented, this internal force should not be so strong, this can only mean that someone has passed on the internal force to you, and this internal force transfer method is not something that ordinary people will, it is our Gujiazhuang's secret technique, not passed on."
The old man Xu Xu said with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Okay, it should be as you said, my mother passed on the internal force to me." Gu Tingcheng took another step and walked towards home.
"How did you die?" The old man, who obviously looked quite optimistic, instantly looked bitter when he asked this sentence.
Gu Tingcheng thought of his father, who had spoiled her so much since she was a child.
I don't know if it's okay in modern times, and I feel a little sad in an instant, and the little fox in my arms feels her emotions? Rubbed her hand.
"I'm sick." Whether it was illness or not, Gu Qingcheng was also a little skeptical, but the memory of the original owner in his head was very vague.
"Why didn't she go home? When she ran away from home, I didn't let anyone chase her. I just thought that she had good talent and high martial arts since she was a child, and there would be no danger when she went out. When I'm tired of playing, I'll always come back, but gradually I'm getting old, and she still hasn't come back, so people can look for it, so many years, I didn't expect it to be such a result. ”
The old man talked to Gu Tingcheng about the past with some sadness, and Gu Tingcheng didn't know how to comfort him.
But the next moment
The sadness just now was gone, and the old man took out a piece of dried meat from the oiled paper bag and took a bite and said
"Girl, you will follow me in the future, you are not small, I will find you a good family!"
Gu Qingcheng knew that he wasn't sad, he just didn't want to show it.
"No, I think it's good, and besides, I'm only 14 years old, so forget about it."
Looking at this grandfather, I suddenly felt a little nerve-wracking.
At this time, he also arrived home, and Gu Qingcheng opened the door.
"Girl, this is your home, it's not bad." The old man nodded.
"Alright, sit down for a while! I'll go get the sword. Gu Qingcheng put down the little fox as well, went into the house, and took out the sword.
I saw the little fox staring at the old man a little irritably.
"What did you do to it?" Gu Qingcheng walked out, gave the sword over, and calmed the little fox.
"Didn't you just pluck out two of its hairs? Who knew it was so stingy? The old man smiled and took the sword.
looked carefully, and there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
After so many years, he has also calculated a Zhuang heart knot.
The eccentric daughter in my memory seems to be yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, this thing is no longer human.
"Girl, you have to take good care of this sword, this sword is made of cold and dark iron. It is very rare, we only have two in Gujiazhuang, and we haven't seen the cold ice Xuantie again in these years. ”
"yes, I see."
Seeing that Gu Chengcheng nodded very obediently, the old man changed the topic again.
"I heard Lanyue tell Mozen that your cooking is delicious? It's all at this point, I'm hungry. The old man said with some arrogance in an instant.
Gu Qingcheng was helpless, looked at the sky, and it was only about ten o'clock now.
"Then I'll cook, and you can walk around as you like."
So Gu Qingcheng went into the kitchen, she didn't come back for several days, and the kitchen was full of meat and sausages.
It was very fragrant, and she also sprinkled some medicinal powder in all corners of the house, that is, the house rats and insects came to the house to steal food.
But I didn't come back for a few days, and some dust fell on the smooth stone cooktop.
Lunch was made quickly
The old man ate with relish, and praised Gu Qingcheng's good cooking skills, just like her mother.
Gu Qingcheng looked at this old man like this, and he was a little happy.
This grandfather looks good.
After eating, Gu Qingcheng took him to his mother's grave again.
When he returned, the old man was not very interested.
"You're tired, just go in this room and rest for a while. I'll go inside the factory. Gu Qingcheng looked at the somewhat quiet old man and said.
"Hmm." The old man only replied in a muffled voice.
Gu Qingcheng left, and the little fox followed her.
When I arrived at the factory, a bunch of people were roasting the fire and resting.
"Xiao Qi, is that really your grandfather? Why haven't you heard of it before? I haven't seen anyone from your house before. ”
An aunt asked, after all, Gu Qingcheng and they have been here for seven or eight years, although they don't usually interact much, but they can still see who comes.
"Yes, my mother liked my father at that time, but my grandfather disagreed, so she ran away from home, my father died accidentally, and my mother was embarrassed to go back and came here, no, my grandfather only knew our news in the past few days, and came to the door"
Gu Tingcheng said nonsense, with a gentle smile on his face.
And the father, who died in his mouth, sneezed in a certain palace.
The girl nodded when she heard this, believing it very much, and thought, so that's the case.
Seeing that his grandfather is also very rich, he must have a good family, no wonder Gu Tingcheng and his mother were able to buy land and approve official documents when they first came here, and they also repaired such a good house.
The emotional family is strong. is so rich, I don't know where the rich master is.
When I saw the Gu family sisters and brothers before, I felt that they were handsome and handsome, and they didn't look like the people here at all.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care what they were making up in their brains, and said directly to everyone.
"Lately, we've been doing pretty good. So in the past few days, everyone has been tight, done more, and taken advantage of the atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, sold more work and gave everyone a holiday. Gu Qingcheng said to everyone with a smile.
"Ah, a holiday? Didn't you do it? "People seem to be a little reluctant.
After all, this is a good life, there is a lot of money, and it is close to home, so it will not be scolded, let them go, but a little reluctant. And this year's harvest is not very good, and making money here has greatly improved my life.
"Don't worry, think about it, what a solemn festival the New Year is, it's impossible for everyone to run around. When the year is over, we'll start working. Gu Tingcheng explained to everyone.
Everyone thinks about it, after all, they can relax at the end of the year.
It's not good to run to other people's houses during the New Year, and it's so cold.
"Okay, so when are we going to stop doing it?" An aunt asked.
"Let's do it for another half a month, and I won't do it after half a month, so let's do more recently, do a good job, and give everyone a New Year's gift this year."
Gu Tingcheng thought that he could earn a lot of silver in the past half a month, after all, he was almost earning more than ten taels a day now.
In addition to labor costs, all kinds of expenses can almost earn seven or eight taels of silver.
In this era when you can build a big factory for seventy or eighty taels, she is also a rich woman.
It's okay to send them some small gifts during the Chinese New Year, Gu Tingcheng thought so, and there was a sweet smile on his face.
……
"Fifth brother, the weather has been so cold recently, and many of those people have no place to sleep, how can this be done?" Ye Yunxiao was a little irritable, he was worried about this and that every day, and the dark circles under his eyes were so heavy.
"Set up a tent, don't you understand this second emperor brother? Why don't you go back and ask your father to come with someone else. Ye Chongyun said with one hand against the table.
"But there's no silver, how can you set up a tent?" He didn't think about it, but all the money was used to repair the canals and buy food, so how could he have any money?
"Those rich officials."
"But I've already searched it last time, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go again." I'm afraid those people already have a suspicion of him.
"That's your business." Ye Chongyun said lightly.
Ye Yunxiao looked at Ye Chongyun's appearance of not caring, and he really regretted that he had died here, which was more annoying than fighting.
But there is no way, I still have to go.
Ye Chongyun looked at his second imperial brother with a smile on his face, just having ambition, not having a brain.
Then he stood up, shook his waist, moved his neck, and prepared to walk around, there should be nothing needed for him here for the time being.
Go around and see if you can run into something interesting.
It was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon that day
Gu Qingcheng is at the door of his house
"Stinky girl, are you coming back and not going to see me?"
Lin Fuzi heard that Gu Tingcheng was back, and he had been waiting at home, because Gu Tingcheng usually had to go to him to play chess at home.
But none of the people came.
He was a little bothered, so he just came by himself.
When he saw that the door was open, he went in by himself.
But he saw an old man, older than him, and his hair was all gray.
Lin Fuzi is in his sixties, and Gu Lao is almost eighty years old.
"Who are you? Why did you come to my granddaughter's house and call her a stinky girl. Old Master Gu stared at the people who came in.
Lin Fuzi looked at this old man, although he looked old, but this momentum was not old at all.
"I'm her stepfather, I don't know who you are?" Lin Fuzi still asked politely.
"I, I'm her grandfather." Old Master Gu said proudly.
Lin Fuzi didn't say anything, and prepared to go back.
"You stop." Unexpectedly, the old farmer Gu stopped him.
"But what else?" Lin Fuzi still asked politely, after all, this person is more than ten or twenty years older than him.
"You say you're my granddaughter's stepfather?" Old Master Gu looked at it curiously.
"Hmm."
"You said you were a handful of years old, and it was almost the same as calling grandpa." Master Gu's words successfully made Lin Fuzi's face darken.
Those who have taken so many concubines, and the children are sixty or seventy years younger than their fathers.
He is only over 40 years older, so why can't he be a stepfather.
