Chapter 545: Homecoming
Gu Chengyu looked at the banyan tree that was getting closer and closer, and wondered in his heart whether to expand the old mansion again.
However, he is only a young man, and the old mansions are inherited by the eldest son, so he is too lenient in this matter.
This house was originally built by him, but as a long house, if the house is expanded and his younger brother has to pay money, the eldest brother will definitely not look good.
Besides, there is the Jiang family on the side, so the Jiang family's yard has to be demolished so that this yard can be magnificent. Otherwise, even if the depth is extended, the door will still be a big deal.
"There are people next to my old house, and I can't expand even if I want to. Besides, I'm not the eldest son, so I can't worry too much. β
Zhu Pang understood, but he believed that Gu Chengyu should have the idea of expanding.
After all, the old mansion of the official family, such a faΓ§ade is indeed shabby.
Gu Chengyu and the others had a total of seven carriages, and the movement into the village was not small.
It was the busy farming season, the sky was still very bright, and there were many people in the village working in the fields.
Gu Chengli was watching the long-term workers planting seedlings on the ridge with his hands behind his back, the Gu family is now rich, and naturally he doesn't need to do it himself. It's just that he can't be idle, and often goes down to the field to help.
Rolling his trouser leg up again, he planned to go down and plant the rice.
Aunt Wang's family has also bought some fields in recent years, and they have already made up ten acres, and their lives are not bad.
"In charge, the work at home has been done in the past two days, you hurry up and go to the Gu family to help. took other people's money, and let him busy with his own work first, how can people be happy in their hearts? β
As Aunt Wang spoke, she straightened up her back and tried to catch her breath. Xiao Huang was cooking at home, so she and the two men in the family went to the field.
She glanced casually under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, but her eyes immediately widened. What's that, convoy?
She then threw the seedlings in her hand into the field, patted her thighs and shouted, "Look! Is that the carriage of the Gu family Xiaobao? It's Xiaobao back, right? β
Aunt Wang's family member, Wang Erniu, also straightened his back and looked at the banyan tree, "Oops! There are so many carriages, it is really possible that the Gu family Xiaobao is back, doesn't it mean that he will come back in a few days? β
"Ouch hey! Yes, definitely. No, I have to call the boss of the Gu family, his little treasure is back! After speaking, Aunt Wang climbed up the field barefoot, ready to call Gu Chengli.
Gu Chengli went down to the ground with them, and everyone greeted them on the way. However, Gu Chengli's field is a little far away from the village, and it is almost close to Changling Mountain.
"Mother, this is coming to an end." The dog was left at the other end of the field, and when he saw his mother scurrying up, he ran to the rear.
Gou Yu looked at the convoy in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
His mother has been comparing him with Gu Chengyu since he was a child, and he has always lived in the shadow of Gu Chengyu.
Why Gu Chengyu was admitted to Xiucai, Gu Chengyu was admitted to the promotion, Gu Chengyu found a money-making livelihood for his family......
There are countless things like this, Gu Chengyu doesn't know what ecstasy to give his mother, as long as Gu Chengyu comes back, his mother is happier than anyone else.
It's that Gu Chengyu is far away, and his mother sometimes nagged that Gu Chengyu would suffer outside. He went to the county seat to do things, and he didn't see his mother so worried when he returned home once in a few days.
It seems that Gu Chengyu is his mother's own son, and he picked it up.
Gou Yu just hasn't seen modern times, if he is in Gu Chengyu's previous life, then Aunt Wang is a loyal fan of Gu Chengyu.
"Boss of the Gu family, your little treasure is back!" Aunt Wang trotted up on the ridge with her bare feet and greeted Gu Chengli, who had already gone to the ground.
Gu Chengli heard Aunt Wang's shout from afar, he looked up a little dazed, Aunt Wang was so anxious, he didn't know what was going on.
"The owner, it seems to be saying that your official is back!"
A long-term worker on the side heard clearly, he had been working for Gu Chengli for more than two years, and he still had some understanding of the situation of the Gu family.
The Gu family has an official master, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it.
"I really sound yes, it should be that the official has returned to his hometown." Another long-term worker listened carefully and chimed in.
"What? Xiaobao is back? When Gu Chengli heard this, he hurriedly went to Tiankan, and his heart was very happy.
"Auntie, but Xiaobao is back? I'll go back. β
Aunt Wang saw that Gu Chengli heard it and stopped running this way, and turned around and wanted to go to Gu's house to join in the fun. But then I remembered that my seedlings had not been planted yet, so I came back to my senses and ran to my own field.
The seeds of this rice were still taken from the Gu family, who used to grow wheat and sorghum. Now that the Gu family has rice seeds, there are more people who grow rice.
However, this rice is not small, and it cannot be planted near the water source, so wheat must be planted.
The women of the village had already gone home one after another to cook their dinner, and they heard the sound of carriages in the distance, so they all looked up at the entrance of the village.
"Oops! Why are there so many carriages? Went to the Gu family again, right? It seems like there's a little more than before. β
The mother-in-law of the lazy family has just returned from the field, and her family is still the two acres of land. Da Lazy refused to go to the field, she could only rely on her own work, and when the time came, she had to go back to cooking.
She said this because since the fifth child of the Gu family was admitted to the champion and became an official, there has been an endless stream of carriages to visit the Gu family every day. It's just that when she saw so many carriages coming here at once, she was a little puzzled in her heart.
The old king was walking to the side of the lazy woman, and when he heard this, he also guessed.
"This Gu family's days are really up, people often say that one person has ascended to the sky, hey! I don't understand, anyway, the Gu family is thriving. β
Old Wang Tou didn't drive the ox cart this year, his cattle died of old age, and he couldn't do business to and from the town without cattle.
"Ouch! I'm afraid that the official master of the Gu family has returned. The lazy woman thought of this at this time, and her heart was also excited.
They had an official in Shangling Village, and in the past two years, other villages have never dared to intercept their village's water source.
Lu Shi was sitting on the kang to clean up the clothes in the kang qin, and pulled out a pair of small shoes with tiger heads from inside.
These shoes were worn by Xiaobao when she was a child, when Xiaobao had just learned to walk, and she couldn't help but see Xiaobao hobbling in front of her.
At that time, she held Xiaobao's little hand and learned to walk step by step in the dilapidated courtyard of the Gu family, and Wan'er clapped her little hands on the side and laughed at her younger brother's walking like a duck.
Thinking about it, Lu Shi burst into tears.
Gu Chengyu waited for the carriage to drive to the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't wait to jump off the carriage.
pushed open the hidden courtyard door, and before he stepped in, he shouted inside: "Mother! I am back. β
Lu Shi was a little stunned when he heard the voice, and looked out the window with hazy eyes with tears, and found that a teenager had arrived in the yard.
"Xiaobao?"
