Chapter 8 Who's little one is back
Grandpa Gui Er’s house is not far from the Gui family’s old house, but Qianhou Street. Gui Chongyang followed Mei and met several villagers along the way.
It’s really Gui Chongyang wearing a long gown and looks pretty, which is different from the temperament of a teenager in the village.
Many people in the village reject "Xigui", but the neighbors are different after all. In addition, Grandpa Gui and Grandma Gui's character are mostly respected here, so several families here still have contact with the Gui family.
An old lady who came back from a duck asked with curiosity: "Chun'er, is this a visitor? I heard that a child was looking for the Gui family, but it turned out to be your visitor."
Gui Chun stopped: "Miss Zhang, this is not a guest, it is my cousin... it is my fourth uncle's family."
Aunt Zhang didn't react for a moment and smiled and said, "Which family's fourth uncle? This kid is so handsome."
Gui Chun paused and said, "The fourth uncle of the grandfather's family."
Aunt Zhang opened her eyes wide, her smile froze on her face, and her eyes looking at Gui Chongyang were scrutinized and suspicious.
Gui Chongyang felt nervous. Before Aunt Zhang spoke just now, Gui Chun had already whispered that it was the neighbor of Grandpa Gui Er's family, and the two families had a good relationship. Such people didn't smile after hearing their identity. What about the reactions of other villagers?
Aunt Zhang looked at Gui Chongyang's righteous appearance, rolled her eyes, pulled Gui Chun aside, and said in a low voice: "He is not a good person, and his son is also stupid. Don't be too honest. His little beast killed your family back then, but this time he came a small one. Maybe he was guilty and sent to find out the bottom first!"
Aunt Zhang was not "dogs meddling with rats" and was disliked by Gui Chongyang, but because Gui Yuan almost cheated her man. The money that Village Chief Gui lost to him was also five taels from the Zhang family. Later, it was the Village Chief Gui sold land and houses to fill it up, which made Aunt Zhang's man escape. Even so, it was scary to think of it, so as long as someone mentioned Aunt Zhang, he would curse a few words.
Gui Chun was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhang, my fourth uncle was gone last year, and I was the only cousin left at home, so I went back to my hometown."
Gui Chongyang was wearing a filial piety uniform. Aunt Zhang just thought it was his mother who died, but she didn't expect that both parents died. They all said, "A good person does not live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years." Who would have thought that Gui Yuan, who killed nine lives, would die if he said he was dead.
Aunt Zhang was the most verbal one. After receiving this news, she wanted to spread it immediately. She didn't care about continuing to be cold-eyed at Gui Chongyang and rushed back in a hurry.
Gui Chun was afraid that Gui Chongyang was uneasy, so he comforted him: "The villagers complained about the fourth uncle, but they just said a few words. Don't take them to heart!"
Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "It's okay, Brother Chun, don't worry about me. After all, my father did something wrong back then. It's natural for the father to pay off the debts and sons. I will try my best to compensate the families he owed."
This is also one of the purposes of Gui Chongyang's return home. Naturally, he would not have the face to care about other people's indifference. He had encountered village children and villagers who had nothing to do with the "Jiu Ding Difficulty". When he met his former victims, he would not even be beaten and scolded.
Gui Chongyang is not a pedantic person. He will not let others beat and scold him, but he will not erase the desire to make up for it. Human life is greater than heaven, and there are nine lives in it, so it is not so easy to forget it.
Gui Chongyang felt heavy in his heart and a little sad on his face. He was not biased towards his own relatives, but his "dad" was really not a bad person. He was knowledgeable and talented, well-versed in ancient and modern times, and did not have the crazy temperament of a talented man, and was most peaceful and kind to others.
Although "dad" never defended his mistakes back then, Gui Chongyang could imagine it. "dad" was only sixteen years old and failed the county exam. He was confused for a while and could make a mistake. He was not without hesitation, but unfortunately he met a thief and lost money, and he had no chance to turn around.
The dead "Jiu Ding" was not a stranger, but the "dad's" uncle, brother, cousin, and the rest were uncles, uncles and other relatives. Because of the "Jiu Ding's difficulties", Village Chief Gui died, who was the "dad's"'s relative. He was the sinner, but he was afraid that the person who was the most difficult in his heart in recent years was also afraid.
Because of that loss of silver, the "dad" became ill. He was like a frightened bird, always wary of outsiders. When Gui Chongyang was a child, Gui Yuan told him various scams in ancient and modern times. He was upset in his words that he could only "talk about war on paper". If he hadn't accidentally lost the 200 taels of silver, he would not have killed those people and would not have dared to go back in a foreign land. Even if he had great talents, the "dad" would have been a little rich and was at ease. He closed his door and lived a small life, and did not dare to make a mistake. The only thing that was outrageous was to teach his son.
What Gui Chongyang got from "dad" is far more than people imagined. The more he knew the talent and excellence of "dad", the more he loved him.
"Dad" always involuntarily shows nostalgia when talking about "hometown"; when talking about parents, his eyes always turn red; but the two brothers of the country have never mentioned it because of guilt and regret.
"Dad" wants to go back to his hometown, which is a secret that Gui Chongyang discovered at a very young age.
Gui Chongyang could not only travel thousands of miles from Nanjing to Beijing, but naturally he could bring back his parents' remains. But he could come back and endure the rejection of villagers and the indifference of his relatives, but he was unwilling to be treated the same way as his parents who died. After paying off his debts, he would take his parents back to his hometown and let his "dad" return to his roots.
Gui Chun's mouth was clumsy and comforted her and said, "I don't know how to persuade her next."
Mei went up and touched Gui Chongyang's head and said, "Look, you have studied, so you can study hard in the future. If you have a promising future, you will get more rewards for blind dates."
Grandpa Gui Er and Grandma Gui look down on scholars, but Mei knew that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were different.
Gui Chongyang nodded. Gui Chun, Gui Qiu is old and now he is looking for a way to make money. At that time, his life will probably fall on the two brothers. The little nephews' mothers are still alive. If "Xigui" wants to regain his foothold when the villagers are disgusted, he will have to rely on Gui Chongyang's fame. Now he has two years of filial piety, and then he will not be afraid of a child's examination.
Mei Duo was by her side, and she felt so angry that she only sent the old one last year. Now she is back. In addition to eating and chewing, she also needs to study. How much money does it cost? My aunt is going to become a Bodhisattva, but after she has been through these years, her eyes are going to be broken. When will she still have to make a cow and horse for the Gui family?
When Gui Chongyang and his party returned to the old house, Gui Chun was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing Mei's aunt and nephew cleaned up the house, they carried the bucket out to fetch water.
Along the way, someone asked about the Gui family’s young guests, and Gui Chun told Gui Chongyang’s identity over and over again.
