When Grandma Gui returned, Gui Chun came again, but after listening to the orders of Grandma Gui, she came to deliver food, including thirty kilograms of millet and twenty kilograms of sorghum. After all, there was one more person. The old lady was afraid that the food would not be available for the long house.

Gui Chongyang got it, but he was thinking about how to respect the old couple in the second house. He had always been a person who would rather suffer losses than take advantage of it.

"Dad" once taught Gui Chongyang not to take advantage of a small person. It seems that he has taken advantage of it, but in fact, he loses his identity and is despised by others, but he suffers a loss; but if there is really a big advantage in front of him, he will be a fool if he doesn't take advantage of it.

Gui Chongyang is so clear that it is not to draw a clear line with the second house, but to think that these two old people are also involved in "cause and effect" with their own family and cannot neglect them just because they are relatives.

Some people are like this. If you owe a little outsiders, you will feel that you will be grateful for your benefit. However, if you owe your relatives, you will feel at ease. If you receive the benefit of your relatives, you will not be grateful. Gui Chongyang doesn't want to be such a person.

Mei Xiaoba was really obedient. Since Gui Chongyang had ordered him to call him someone before, he called Gui Chun "Brother Chun".

Speaking of which, Mei Xiaoba has been Gui Chun's brother-in-law since then. Gui Chun is naturally happy to be close to her name like this, and Mei Xiaoba is also closer.

With the friendship and comfort of everyone, Mei Xiaoba was finally at ease.

In order to "receive" Mei Xiaoba, supper is made of braised noodles, one-colored roasted eggplant shredded braised, and one-colored bacon and celery braised.

Mei Xiaoba was already hungry after a day of trouble. She saw something delicious, her eyes were bright, and she picked up the noodles and ate them fragrantly without any haze.

Gui Chongyang and Mei looked at each other, and then they really felt relieved.

The loving aunt, gentle sister, wise brother, and a fat and white Lantern Festival uncle, Mei Xiaoba smiled and took the new schoolbag sewn by Mei and returned to the east wing.

When I was wearing my new middle-dress, I couldn't lie down because of the scars on my back, so I could only lie on the kang. Mei Xiaoba's mouth sags little by little, and her head was buried in the pillow, and big tears came out of her eyes.

In the west wing, Gui Chongyang sat at the desk.

Lantern Festival lay on Gui Chongyang's knees and slept soundly.

Gui Chongyang petted his cat and said to himself: "Are you wrong?"

If Gui Chongyang had no ulterior motives of "teaching", Mei Xiaoba would not have noticed the stepmother's badness, but would have been the heartless Mei Xiaoba who was coaxed by her stepmother, rather than the "Mei Xu" who had left her blood relatives.

In that case, in ten or eight years, Mei Xiaoba will become an ordinary villager, and will be left by her father and stepmother in the name of her eldest son to be a cow and horse. When the younger ones below grow up and get married, Mei Xiaoba will no longer need to find a reason to separate them.

Many people live such a life, who says that they will definitely be unhappy?

No one asked Mei Xiaoba’s choice, nor did anyone let him choose, so he pushed him to this point step by step. Gui Chongyang felt a little more guilty.

In the west of the room, Mei's aunt and nephew were sitting by the kang, but they were not placed.

Mei Duo said with concern: "Auntie, do you want to go see Xiaoba? You left home and have experienced these things again today."

Mei shook her head and said, "I can only wait for him to think about it slowly. After all, I am still a child. There is nothing I don't want to think about when I just left home. I'll be fine after waiting for a long time."

Mei Duo still couldn't hide her worries: "Aunt, Xiao Ba is already ten years old. He is different from Double Ninth Festival. What should I do in the future?"

Now that he is ten years old, he doesn't have to worry about anything else, but after the fifteenth and sixth, he has to worry about Mei Xiaoba's family building. When he was young, he could rely on the Gui family, and when he grew up, he had to set himself up. But he, the heir of the Mei family, could not inherit any family property except a false reputation. What should he do then?

Mei was very confident and said, "I believe that Chongyang will take care of Xiaoba in the future. Following Chongyang, I will not only learn a lot of skills, but also make a living."

Mei Duo frowned and said, "But Chongyang is also a child?"

Mei shook her head and said, "Dongyang is not an ordinary child. The town is planned by him. Qiu'er doesn't have to worry about it in the future. Even if you and Chun'er are here, you may not have to borrow the light of the Chongyang Mountain in the future."

Mei Duo couldn't say anything against it. When she remembered a bookcase of books, she became curious about her "uncle" she had never met. She hesitated for a while and said, "Aunt, aunt...what kind of person is the fourth cousin?"

Logically speaking, Mei Duo lost her father and mother because of the "Nine Dings Difficulties", and she should have hated Gui Yuan, who was the culprit, but she was still in her infancy at that time and really had no memory of her parents. All her maternal love comes from her aunt Mei, and she also feels like listening to stories about the so-called "Nine Dings Difficulties" and it is difficult to do.

Although Mei Duo was a little older and knew that he had no father and mother and was different from other children, he had fantasized about his parents' appearance, but in the end he always had the aunt Mei's mind.

Mei was slightly stunned, obviously unexpectedly, she would mention this person.

"Fourth cousin... is a very kind person... He followed his grandmother Chongyang, and he never killed animals, and he rarely blushed with others..." Mei said while falling into memories, but apart from the matter of "stealing silver", all he could think of is Gui Yuan's benefits, and he really couldn't think of any bad deeds.

"What happened back then happened so quickly. No one has seen him since he left, and I don't know how he has come to that point... With his personality, he knew that there might be such consequences and would never do this. He has always been filial and has a good relationship with his brothers... I don't know how he came here over the years." Mei sighed.

A young man in a village was only fifteen years old when he left his hometown. I don’t know how much hard work he had to gain a foothold outside.

Although the household letter that Gui Chongyang got back was Gui Yuan, the head of the household was Gui Yuan, because of the place where he was naturalized, the Gui family guessed that he was a son-in-law. Although he didn't need to marry into a married woman, it was similar to marry into a married woman and had to rely on his family to live.

This is also the main reason why Mei took a step back without competing for her status, and the old couple of Grandpa Gui Er did not insist on making decisions for Mei.

No matter why Wu wanted to recruit a son-in-law, she took Gui Yuan in and was the benefactor of the Gui family; not to mention that she even tried her best to give birth to Gui Chongyang, leaving blood in Gui's parents' room.

"Damn Chongyang, I think he is an outstanding woman." Mei sighed.

There are many lonely ancient books brought back by Gui Chongyang, which are not available to buy from outside book shops, but are obviously something heirlooms.

Mei is a literate person, but when she saw these books, she misunderstood. She thought it was Gui Chongyang’s biological mother’s dowry, but she never thought of her cousin Gui Yuan.

Mei Duo's opinion was different from that of his aunt, and said, "But his mother died long ago in Chongyang. Chongyang was well-educated by the fourth cousin. Chongyang also said that the fourth cousin sent him to have fun outside, but he also taught him a lot. He also said that the fourth cousin was a talented man, but he did not become an official because of his physical illness."

Mei shook her head and said, "What Chongyang said is the truth, but it is not true either."

"Huh? Why are you lying to us on Chongyang?" Mei Duo frowned.

Even though Mei Duo was a little cautious when Gui Chongyang first came back, he really treated him as his family and was his younger brother later.

Mei Shi said: "It's not a lie... In every child's heart, parents are the strongest, just like your grandfather. Although he is just an old boy who can't pass the exam, he is one of the most talented people in the world in his aunt's heart, and few people can compare with it. Chongyang was raised by his father and father and son depend on each other for life. Naturally, his father is the strongest and most talented person in his heart..."

"So that's the case. I thought that the fourth cousin had an adventure. Only when he became a talented person could he teach a child like Chongyang." Mei Duo put down his curiosity about Guiyuan and said, "It's a pity that Chongyang was taught by his Master Meng. Otherwise, thank him well."

It was late at night, and my aunt and nephew were not allowed to place them.

Outside the east wing, Gui Chongyang stopped and heard the steady and slight snoring inside, and then left with confidence.
