After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Niu Niu helps

Gu Laosan simply stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him.

However, Liu Erni's brain moved quickly. She stretched out her hand and pulled Gu Laosan, then pulled him outside the house and muttered.

The old lady could only stare at Boss Gu.

Boss Gu hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "Mom, let me discuss this with my wife."

The disappointment in the old lady's eyes almost overflowed on the spot.

Boss Gu didn't dare to look at his mother's eyes and hurriedly ran towards his house.

Father Gu in the backyard seemed unaware of the huge changes that were about to take place in his home. He was feeding the weeds and insects he had retrieved from the mountains to his chickens.

Niu Niu leaned aside and watched her grandfather feeding the chickens obediently.

"Niuniu is back. Tomorrow, grandpa will kill a chicken for you to eat. By then, our dear baby will be able to keep his body strong and not be afraid of any illness..." Dad Gu said nonchalantly.

Niu Niu raised her little face, smiled sweetly, and said: "Grandpa, grandma, parents, brothers and sisters all eat it! Everyone can be raised strong!"

When Dad Gu heard this, he was so happy that his face almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum: "Our dear baby is so filial. Grandpa is in good health and doesn't need to eat these."

When Niuniu saw Gu Mingda, she immediately said excitedly: "Dad, come and see the chickens raised by grandpa! Grandpa said give me the two big chicken legs!"

When Gu Mingda saw this scene of grandparents and grandchildren enjoying themselves, his heart calmed down, as if the messy things in the front yard no longer existed, and he walked over briskly.

After Father Gu stared at Gu Mingda for a long time, he said softly: "Xiao Er, don't you have to go to school today?"

Gu Mingda was stunned. He had left school for more than ten years, but his father's memory was stuck in the past.

"Dad, I was admitted as a scholar." Gu Mingda said softly.

When Father Gu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his cloudy eyes suddenly burst into astonishing brilliance. He looked at his son as if he were looking at his most proud work.

"Second child... Second child, you were admitted as a scholar when you were only fifteen years old. You child... you child..." Father Gu couldn't help crying as he said this.

Gu Mingda recalled carefully that his little sister Nannan died when he was fifteen.

Niuniu saw her grandpa crying and immediately took out a handkerchief and sent it to him. The little girl didn't understand: "Grandpa, it's a good thing to be admitted to the show, why are you crying?"

Father Gu took the handkerchief and rubbed his face hard, then picked up Niuniu and said with a smile: "I am crying with joy. My second brother has been admitted to the scholar's examination. When he is selected as a Jinshi in the future, our Niuniu will be an official." Miss Jia, when the time comes, choose an official husband and wife for Niu Niu!"

Gu Mingda had mixed feelings in his heart at this time. He only knew that his father valued his studies, but he did not expect that just being admitted as a scholar would make him so happy.

Looking back on the past, when I failed time and time again, my father never expressed disappointment, and I don't know how uncomfortable he was at that time.

"Second brother, let's go kowtow to your grandfather later and let him know that our old Gu family finally has a scholar... I'm going to fold the ingots now..." Mr. Gu excitedly arranged for his son to be admitted as a scholar.

He even ran into the house to look for incense and yellow paper.

Gu Mingda watched Mr. Gu walk out with a basket in confusion: "It's strange, why are all the ingots in the basket folded? It seems that I folded them. When did I fold them?"

Dad Gu has a unique way of stacking ingots, which is different from others.

Gu Mingda just took a look and understood that the ingots folded in the basket should have been folded by Father Gu when the news came back that he had been admitted to the scholar's examination.

Ever since he became confused, Father Gu has always been confused. Some things he can remember firmly, but some things are refreshed every day.

Father Gu obviously didn't care much about the pile of stacked ingots. He took Gu Mingda's hand and directly set the time: "Second brother, we will go burn incense for your grandfather early tomorrow morning."

Gu Mingda nodded. He looked at his excited father and suddenly couldn't bear it, but he still spoke.

"Dad, tomorrow I will separate from my eldest brother and my third brother."

When Father Gu heard this, his expression went blank for a moment. He looked at Gu Mingda blankly: "Split the family... Why split the family... Only when brothers work together can the gold be broken..."

Gu Mingda shook his head and tried to gain his father's understanding: "Now the eldest brother and the third brother have their own children and their own families. They have their own ideas. Our three brothers' hearts are no longer in the same place."

"Your mother also agrees?" Dad Gu asked.

Gu Mingda nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Father Gu lowered his head and buried his face in the shadow, making his expression unclear.

Niuniu noticed that her grandfather was depressed, so she leaned against him gently, as if she wanted to comfort her grandfather in this way. Father Gu stretched out his old hand and gently stroked the soft hair on Niu Niu's head. After a long time, he said: "It's good to separate the families. The children are older and have more things to think about..."

Gu Mingda felt a little guilty. He could have brushed this off. After all, his father had been confused for many years and his mother was now the head of the family. But he still chose to solemnly tell his father about it.

"Niuniu, do you want to eat candy?" Dad Gu suddenly asked Niuniu.

Niuniu nodded.

Father Gu took the little girl's hand and walked into the house. As he walked, he murmured in a low voice: "Why is it so good...my heart is not in one place..."

At dinner, except for the children who were immersed in the joy of eating meat, all the adults had no idea how to eat.

That night, many people in the Gu family had insomnia.

Gu Mingda still felt bad when he thought of his parents' expressions during the day. He knew that his mother was unwilling to separate the family, but still acted forcefully. He couldn't help but start to doubt himself, secretly thinking that if he was truly filial, he should follow his mother's ideas and put these things into practice. Things passed in confusion.

But his mother was willing to be wronged, but he was not willing to see her suffer for herself.

He also didn't want his daughter to have to look at other people's faces and accept the pointers from her aunts in her own home.

Seeing her husband tossing and turning, Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but feel distressed. When she turned around, she saw Niu Niu, who was supposed to be sleeping, staring at them with a pair of round eyes.

"Niuniu, why don't you sleep?" Zhang Yunniang asked softly.

"Can't sleep." Niu Niu followed Gu Mingda's example and turned around, sighing again.

Zhang Yunniang glanced at her daughter angrily and said, "If you don't sleep at the age of five, you won't grow taller."

When Niu Niu heard this, she was so scared that she immediately closed her eyes and whispered: "Niu Niu needs to grow taller, Niu Niu cannot be a dwarf."

Seeing his daughter look so cute, the strange melancholy in Gu Mingda's heart was barely wiped away.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu went out. Gu Mingda first accompanied Mr. Gu to visit the tomb and burn incense.

Dad Gu had forgotten what he had said yesterday when he got up early. He asked Gu Mingda for a long time why he had to go to the grave if he was not old enough. After Gu Mingda explained again that he was admitted as a scholar, Dad Gu cried again. .

"As I get older, my eyes will feel tight after crying twice." Dad Gu sighed.

Gu Mingda thought to himself that if he cried for two days in a row, his eyes wouldn't hurt.

"Dad, let's go see grandpa first." Gu Mingda pulled him out of the door to prevent him from crying again when he thought about it.

After Zhang Yunniang waited for her husband to go out, she grabbed Niuniu who wanted to go out to find food for the chickens.

"Niuniu, can you do me a favor?"

Listening to her mother's question, Niu Niu said without hesitation: "Okay, Niu Niu will definitely help mother."

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but laugh and asked: "You don't even ask what kind of help you are doing? What if it is a very difficult thing and Niuniu can't do it?"

Niuniu tilted her little head and said innocently: "Niuniu will never refuse mother's request."

When Zhang Yuniang heard this, her heart felt as sweet as drinking honey. She tapped the tip of her daughter's delicate nose and said, "Young lady."

According to the practice of dividing a family in the countryside, in addition to the head of the own family, there should also be someone from the daughter-in-law's natal family who can take charge. This means that the division of the family is approved by the in-laws.

Chen Chunhua's eldest brother, Uncle Chen, came to Chen Chunhua's family. Zhang Yunniang didn't care whether she would suffer if the family was separated, so she didn't ask Zhang Guangzong to come over.

Liu Erni was more outrageous. The Liu family also lived in Qingshui Village. There had been disputes between the two families about stealing the formula, but Mrs. Liu could still bring her four sons to the house without any care.

She said it was because she wanted to support her daughter.

Mrs. Gu frowned immediately when she saw this situation, but she couldn't get angry in front of the Chen family and the clan leader.

Niu Niu quickly reached out and pulled Gu Mingda's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, grandma frowned, she is unhappy."

This is a task assigned to her by her mother. Once grandma is unhappy, she must tell her father immediately!
