Chapter 623: Stay calm and dont drift away

Brother Cheng couldn't defeat Gu Jinli, so he had to wear a red cotton hat. But after getting used to wearing it, he fell in love with this hat again.

Gu Jinan has been very busy recently. He went to Shang's house for class in the morning and went to Songzizhuang to work after school. But today is Cheng Geer's birthday, so he came back early.

"Brother, I like you the most. Where is the gift?" Brother Cheng rushed over when he saw Gu Jinan coming home.

Gu Jinan picked him up, pushed him away a little, and said, "Don't rush over, brother is dirty. I'll change my clothes before I hug you."nove(l)bi(n.)com

He added: "This is the last time I hold you. You will be a big child after you turn five, and you can no longer be held by your elder brother."



Brother Cheng was unhappy: "Why? My eldest brother used to hold Brother Cheng in his arms."

Ever since Brother Cheng can remember, especially when he was fleeing from famine, the people who hugged him and carried him the most were his father and eldest brother. But his father was afraid of his grandparents and did not dare to protect him too much. Only his eldest brother dared to protect him, so he liked his eldest brother the most. With his eldest brother around, he would not be afraid of being beaten.

"Brother Cheng was young at that time. Now that Brother Cheng is older, the eldest brother will naturally stop hugging him." After Gu Jinan changed his clothes, he picked up Brother Cheng and said with a smile: "It's heavier, but it's also taller. From now on, Brother Cheng will have to carry Big Brother on his back."

Brother Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, from now on Brother Cheng will carry my eldest brother on his back and won't let him walk."

Gu Jinli thought about Brother Cheng carrying Gu Jinan, who was several times older than him. The scene was unbearable to look at. He said to Brother Cheng, "You can't carry it, but you can carry my eldest brother's baby. Wait until your eldest brother gets married and has a baby." , you are now an uncle, and you can carry your elder brothers child to play.

Eldest brothers child? Cheng Geer looked at Gu Jinans belly and asked, Was it born here?

He touched Gu Jinan's belly again and asked innocently, "Does the eldest brother have a nephew?"

Gu Jinan's face turned dark and he said to Brother Cheng: "Brother is a boy. Men can't give birth to babies, only women can... You don't understand this question. I'll tell you when you're older."

Brother Cheng smiled slyly: "Brother Cheng knows, you don't need to be taught by big brother."

The women in the village gossiped with great intensity. He couldn't understand them at first, but later he understood a little more.

After saying that, he was afraid that Gu Jinan would settle the score with him, so he hurriedly hid behind Gu Jinli and made faces at his eldest brother.



Fortunately, He Jinsheng was beside him. Seeing that he could no longer hold his strength, he hurriedly tugged on his sleeves, "Calm down, Grandpa, don't drift."

Village Chief He was pleased with himself for a moment, and then said to Third Grandpa and the others: "Brother Gu, Dashan, come to my house tomorrow to eat butchered vegetables. I will leave a separate table for the men of your family to sit and wait."

As for the women, it is difficult to squeeze in. He Liu will deliver dishes to them alone.

Third Grandpa said: "Dashan and the others have been busy rushing goods recently, so I'm afraid they won't be able to go. Brother Qin is still worried about Erlang... I can go by myself, and there is no need to leave a separate table. I can just eat with you."

Village Chief He got what he wanted: "Okay, we brothers will have a few drinks tomorrow."

Village Chief He and his family sat at Gu Jinli's house for half an hour. After thanking the Gu family, they went home.

The next day, although the weather was freezing cold, the village was very lively. Everyone went to the village chief Hes house to have a dinner, and even the Lu family went to congratulate him, which made the village chief He feel very proud.



After the pig-killing feast, He Dalin's family returned to the county town and lived in a newly rented courtyard. The next day, they officially went to the Yamen to start work.

Not long after He Dalin went to the Yamen to work as a scribe, Bantou Yang and others came back with the peasants serving as corvees.

The weather has been extremely cold this year, and many people have fallen ill. Three farmers in Xianggui Town and Daxing Town have died of illness, and two others were swept away by the water and drowned while cleaning up the silt in the Huai River.

Fortunately, the bodies were found and brought back, otherwise the farmers in Tianfu County would have caused another trouble.

The two **** He Laosi and He Daqian were not dead. They came back with the men in the village, but they lost a lot of weight.

Gu Dewang specially took Gu Defa and Gu Qingxi to see it, and came back and told Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, that He Laosi's leg seems to be injured. He is limping. I think he is lame."

Gu Defa said like a young adult: "It's good to be lame. In the future, he won't be able to run fast when he steals other people's chickens and ducks."

Gu Jinli laughed when he heard this, gave them cakes to eat, and asked Brother Fa: "When will you go to a private school to study? Is your mother still waiting to be the imperial wife? Brother Xi will also go to school next year."

Gu Qingxi is Gu Dalins youngest son.

Gu Dalin is very smart and thinks far ahead. He has planned to send Gu Qingxi and Gu Qingtian to a private school in the spring of next year. There is no guarantee whether they will pass the exam or not, but they must take the exam. If they fail, they will give up.
