Chapter 276: Meeting

After hearing this, Xie Xingchuan couldn't help thinking that if he was really at home, he would never feel at ease.

He had been away from home for a few days, but his family had not sent anyone out to look for him.

Old Man Gu suddenly looked straight at Xie Xingchuan.

Niuniu pulled Xie Xingchuan to his grandfather's side and said crisply, "Grandpa, this is Brother Xingchuan, and he will be your grandson in the future."

Old Man Gu stretched out his hand to touch Xie Xingchuan's hair, but Xie Xingchuan was too tall.

Xie Xingchuan bent down and finally succeeded in letting the old man touch his hair.

"My dear grandson... my dear grandson..." Old Man Gu said vaguely.

Xie Xingchuan was close to him, and when he heard this, he felt relieved. It was always a happy thing to be accepted by others when he came to a new place.

Old Man Gu suddenly said, "Two swirls... two swirls of dear grandson..."

Zhang Yunniang and Gu Mingda were stunned when they heard this.

Their second son happened to have two swirls on his head.

Zhang Yunniang almost cried, but she still tried to explain to Gu Laodi: "This is Xingchuan. He may have two swirls on his head, just like the second boy..."

Gu Laodi's eyes were still cloudy when he heard this, but he said: "The wine recipe... I promised the second boy... I will give him the wine recipe..."

Gu Mingda looked at Gu Laodi in confusion.

Gu Laodi wiped her tears and said: "Back then, your father was joking with the second boy. The second boy was only two years old. Your father asked him if he liked wine. The second boy said he liked it, so your father said he would give him the recipe for yellow rice wine in the future. I didn't expect that after so many years, your father still remembered this."

Seeing the Gu family talking about things they didn't understand, Xie Xingchuan felt isolated at this time. He was also afraid that his arrival would bring up the sad things of the Gu family.

Niu Niu suddenly said, "Brother Xie has two swirls just like my second brother. When Brother Xie came, Grandpa became much more sober. Brother Xie helped us a lot again."

Niu Niu was not deliberately helping Xie Xingchuan out, but she really thought so.

The other people in the Gu family didn't notice that Father Gu was more sober than usual, but after Niu Niu's reminder, they realized that their actions just now made Xie Xingchuan uncomfortable.

The topic returned to Xie Xingchuan again. Old Lady Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "Xingchuan has moved in. Isn't his newly bought house empty? There are all new items in it. If it is left there for nothing, it would be a pity. It's better to rent the house out!"

Old Lady Gu is the person in this family who hates money dropped on the ground the most. It's no wonder that she is the first to think of renting a house.

Xie Xingchuan was unwilling, because he always felt that he would not live in the Gu family for long.

But Mrs. Gu was quick-witted and said, "You earn more if you rent long term, less if you rent short term, and you earn nothing if you don't rent. Money is not a big deal no matter how much you have. Good boy, listen to grandma, grandma won't hurt you!"

Xie Xingchuan wanted to refuse, but when he heard that Grandma Gu was like a family member and was really thinking about him, he couldn't say no.

Niuniu also said, "Brother, grandma is right. It's a pity to leave it empty. You can buy delicious food with some money!"

Xie Xingchuan stopped refusing after hearing this. He didn't have much money on hand now. Since he was Niuniu's brother, he had to give money to buy snacks for his sister...

The Gu family was talking in the house, and someone suddenly knocked on the door of the house.

Shen Changfeng rushed in in a hurry: "Master, Master! We agreed to meet at the place where the results were announced, why didn't you go?"

Gu Mingda didn't sleep well all night, and ate an extremely difficult breakfast in the morning. His mind was groggy. He didn't expect to forget this section. He immediately said to Shen Changfeng: "It's my fault. I was busy and forgot. I'm sorry."

Shen Changfeng was stunned when he heard the sincere apology of his master. He thought of his father Shen Fushan, who would still stick his neck out and refuse to admit his mistakes even if he made a big mistake. He still remembered that his father pushed all the mistakes on him when he was young.

He realized at this time that normal elders would admit their mistakes.

Shen Fushan was sick these days and didn't see anyone except Shen Changjun.

Shen Changfeng was too lazy to see Shen Fushan, thinking that it would be better for the father and son not to see each other.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master, I have good news for you! Master got the first place in the high school entrance examination! Master!" Shen Changfeng said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Gu family stood up excitedly.

Xie Xingchuan realized later that today was the day for the results to be announced. Gu Mingda was so busy taking care of himself last night that he even forgot such a big thing.

"Really? Changfeng, did you really see it clearly? My son really got the first place in the high school entrance examination?" Old Lady Gu grabbed Shen Changfeng and asked.

Shen Changfeng nodded vigorously and said, "Grandma Gu, don't worry, I saw it clearly. I may not recognize the difficult characters, but how could I read the master's name wrong? It is clearly written on it, Master Gu Mingda from Qingshui Village, Guang'an County!"

When Old Lady Gu heard such affirmative words, she was really happy. The tears that had just stopped came out again: "Ancestors bless, my son finally got into high school! I knew that my son is a capable person and will definitely get into high school!"

Zhang Yunniang also cried.

They understood Gu Mingda's pain better than anyone else.

Gu Mingda has been known as a child prodigy since he started school. Every teacher praised him as a good student. However, he wasted more than ten years preparing to pass the imperial examination and was always ridiculed by others.

Gu Mingda himself was a little stunned. He had actually prepared for the exam several times, and felt that his answers were not perfect this time, but he won the first place in the examination.

He actually felt that he had paid little, but the rewards were unexpectedly rich.

Coincidentally, at this time, the official who came to announce the good news came to the door and shouted loudly outside the house:

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu of your house for winning the first place in the examination!"

The official said it three times in a row.

The neighbors could hear it clearly, and the neighbors in the whole alley ran out.

Gu Mingda's long-term servant Qi Dashan took out the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago and set them off.

Zhang Yunniang also had someone seal a thick silver envelope for the official. The official felt the thickness and naturally spoke good words as if he didn't need any money.

The neighbors also ran up to say auspicious words.

"Mrs. Gu, you are lucky. You have never lacked money to begin with. Now Mr. Gu has won the imperial examination and will soon become the wife of an official."

The neighbors are all ordinary people. It is rare for an official to appear, so they naturally praise him.

At this time, a circle of old ladies in the alley also surrounded Mrs. Gu: "From now on, we can't call you elder sister anymore. We have to call you Old Lady Gu. Now that you have become an old lady, will you still go to help Li Yaren in the future?"
