658 Blending in with the night
“Hehe, that’s because I’m stupid! Only now do I know that learning from his second uncle is much better than studying in school. If it wasn’t for the imperial examination, I would have stopped Enzi from going to school, so that I could save some money to pay respect to his second uncle!” Zhang Shi said with a smile.
Cai Xiaolian’s mouth twitched. Saving money was the most important thing. Nothing else was important.
……
It was already past midnight, and the rain was getting heavier.
Cai Xiaolian asked Madam Zhang to take Gu en and Gu Ren to the guest room to sleep. With such heavy rain, even if the old mansion was not far away, they would still be wet.
Gu Xin and Gu si were also yawning. Cai Xiaolian had chased them away to sleep.
Gu Hui and Gu Nian, who were older, refused to go to bed and accompanied Cai Xiaolian as she waited for her.
“Mother, I’m going to bed. When they come back, will you be able to face them?” Gu Nian could not refute her excuse. You can’t even form a strip, so you can’t be called a lump of dough, you can only be called a lump of dough!”
Cai Xiaolian was already immune to this kind of blow, but she also agreed to let the two of them stay.
However, it was boring for the three women to sit together, so Cai Xiaolian asked Gu Nian if she knew how to play the landlord.
Gu Nian did not know how to do it, but she could learn it.
So, the three of them made a deck of cards and played the landlord.
A straight-A student was indeed a straight-A student. He even learned how to play cards so quickly.
it could be said that he didn’t miss anything when counting cards.
After getting used to the first three rounds, Gu Nian finally understood.
They didn’t bet silver, just stickers.
Gu Nian only had two strips stuck to her ears, and she was a farmer who had been implicated by Gu Hui.
She won all the other times.
After more than two hours, the Gu family finally returned.
One by one, they all went to the second branch.
Cai Xiaolian went to open the door with a blank face.
One of the two lanterns at the gate was extinguished, leaving only one.
what appeared in front of the gu family was a face full of white stripes that were blowing in the wind.
“aiyo, my mother! What the hell is this?” Uncle Gu took a step back.
cai xiaolian tore off the note. ” it’s me. it’s me. don’t be afraid. don’t be afraid. ” Quickly come in!”
Uncle Gu patted his chest. sister-in-law, I don’t care what you’re playing. Next time, I suggest you stick a black strip on it at night. It’ll blend in with the night and not scare people!
the group of them entered the house and gu hui took out the dry handkerchief that she had prepared.
Out of everyone, only Grandpa Gu was slightly wet, but he did not get soaked.
The others were all drenched.
Soon, Gu Nian returned with a large bowl filled with hand-rolled noodles. There was meat in the bowl and two poached eggs for each of them.
Uncle Gu ate five large bowls, and even fourth uncle Gu ate three bowls. It could be seen that they were really hungry.
Without asking, uncle Gu told him everything.
It only started raining when they left the prefecture.
The mountain collapsed at the place where Lu Zheng had mentioned. There were no casualties. Lord su had brought the bailiffs from the prefecture to clear the road. When they arrived at the Zhou clan town, they had to wait for a while before they could pass through.
With Sir su in charge of the prefecture and Lu Zheng in charge of the Zhou clan town, they were able to move quickly.
“A ‘Yuan, are you full? Do you still want it? I’ll get niannian to go again!” Cai Xiaolian asked when she saw Lu Zheng was the last to put down his bowl.
“I’m full, aunt Lian. It’s late, everyone should go to sleep! I Think It’s Going to Rain for the next few days. We can thresh the corn.” Lu Yang said.
well, there was a year before when the rain was this heavy in Qing Province. There are still many crops in the field that haven’t been finished. This year, we farmers will have to feel heartache again! Grandpa Gu said with a frown.
