Chapter 214 The Gu family
Chapter 214 The Gu family
An Xueyan said, "Grandma, we still have some at home. They're not worth much. We dug them out from the mountains. We found two at the time."
Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Haha, if that's the case, we'll just shamelessly accept it."
His voice was so powerful and loud that even those sitting next to him could feel their ears were being deafened. An Xueyan was also a little surprised. When they first met, the old man must have deliberately controlled his speech.
The old lady patted the old man on the back and scolded him, "Can't you lower your voice a little? You almost shook the roof off and scared Yanyan."
Then he turned to An Xueyan and said, "Don't be afraid, Yanyan. The old man's ears were bombarded before, and he has some sequelae. His voice is like a roar."
After being reminded, Mr. Gu muttered, "I don't think my voice is loud."
An Xueyan's face was filled with awe, and she said seriously, "Grandma, I'm not afraid. This is Grandpa's hero medal, worthy of the admiration of everyone living in peacetime."
Thanks to the efforts of countless predecessors, their country has gained the current stability. The surviving ancestors have left countless traces of battle and deserve to be respected by everyone.
When the old lady of the Gu family heard her words, she looked at her with more fondness: "You are such a good child."
Several people were chatting in the living room. An Xueyan learned from the old lady's conversation that because she knew they were coming today and was afraid that she would be nervous, she didn't let people from other branches of the family come. Only the family of Gu Chengzhi, the eldest son of the Gu family, and the old couple came. The two old people in the Gu family also lived with the Gu family's main branch.
During lunch, Gu Chengzhi's father also came back. Unlike the reserved old man Gu, this man was very imposing. Most people didn't dare to look him in the eye. The aura of his high position and power could make people feel breathless.
Mr. Feng had seen big scenes before, and An Xueyan had the experience of two lifetimes, so they both dealt with it normally.
The food at the Gu family was rich and delicious. The old man kept urging them to eat more, and he didn't forget to eat too.
He particularly loved the braised pork. Seeing that he had eaten quite a bit, Gu Chengzhi stopped him from reaching for his chopsticks and said, "Grandpa, you can't eat this braised pork anymore. It's not good for your health."
"I didn't eat much, you little brat are so nosy." He complained but still changed the direction of his chopsticks and picked up some vegetables.
While saying to An Xueyan, "Yan Yan, you are a child and need to grow. Eat more meat. You should eat as much as you can while you are young. Otherwise, you will be like us when we are old and we won't be able to eat even if we want to."
He put the vegetables into his mouth. They were indeed delicious, but he still wanted to eat meat.
What he said was also correct. An Xueyan nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I want to eat delicious food from all over the world in the future."
Health expert Feng Laodao said: "If you want to live a few more years, you must control your diet. Steady and long-term consumption is the key to health preservation. I brought some tea for after-meal drinking today. Drink some after each meal. It cleanses the intestines, detoxifies, and lowers blood lipids, which is good for your health."
He also likes to eat delicious food, but he can control himself and he will use other methods to control his health.
This is the benefit of knowing Chinese medicine. When you go out to see those Chinese medicine doctors, why do they all look like immortals? They know how to maintain their health.
Ignoring the words to shut up, she said happily, "Tea is good. I'll have a cup after dinner."
Gu Chengzhi said, "Grandpa, the digestion pills made by Yanyan are very effective. I brought you some. Take one if you eat too much in the future to avoid indigestion and feeling unwell."
An Xueyan smiled and reminded him, "But Grandpa Gu can't just eat too much every meal just because he has this."
Mrs. Gu also joked, "I will supervise him every day. From now on, I will only give him half a bowl of rice so that he won't have the chance to eat too much."
Old Master Gu pointed at them unhappily, like a child who couldn't get his candy. "Hey, you're going too far! You won't let me drink the wine, and you won't let me eat my fill. This won't do. I get anxious when I don't have enough to eat."
They finished their meal chatting and laughing. After the meal, Gu Chengzhi's father chatted with them for a while before going to work.
Grandma Gu sat next to An Xueyan and said, "Yanyan, you already have a house in Beijing. Why don't you find a way to transfer your household registration so you can study here? The educational resources in big cities are more than twice as good."
She said this out of kindness. The resources in the capital are definitely very different from those in the countryside, but these will not be obstacles for An Xueyan. She can have more freedom in her hometown.
So I politely declined: "Thank you grandma for thinking of me, but I'm still young and I'd like to stay in my hometown for a few years. After I leave, I may rarely go back."
She refused and didn't know what to say to Grandma Gu. She asked gently, "Have you decided which university to apply to in the future?"
An Xueyan had already thought about her future and said cheerfully, "I want to go to medical school and become a doctor."
"It's good for girls to be doctors. They won't have to worry about their future. Being a teacher or doctor is a good profession."
This is indeed true. Many years later, these two professions are still very popular. They are not dangerous and are respected.
While chatting, Mr. Feng checked the health of several people in the Gu family, and An Xueyan followed behind and took their pulses, pretending to learn.
He gave each of them a prescription for conditioning before saying goodbye and leaving. Knowing that they were leaving tomorrow and had to go back to pack their things, the Gu family did not keep them. It was Gu Chengzhi who drove them back, and there were return gifts from the Gu family in the car.
When they got home, Gu Chengzhi put the things for them into the house.
He said to the master and his apprentice, "Master Feng, Yanyan, I will come early tomorrow morning. You don't have to cook breakfast. I will bring it to you."
Mr. Feng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
An Xueyan happily agreed: "Okay, I can sleep in now, thank you Uncle Gu."
Gu Chengzhi teased her: "I would be happier if you called me Daddy Gu."
An Xueyan sat on the chair, her hands on the table supporting her chin, and said mischievously: "That must be..." Just when Gu Chengzhi thought she was going to agree.
Then came the second half of the sentence: "That's not possible!"
He tapped An Xueyan's head lightly with his hand in annoyance, and said resentfully: "You little girl are just teasing me. I have sent you so many good things every month in the past few years. You have no conscience."
Covering his head, he said with a smile: "I don't want this to happen either. Uncle Gu, you have to deal with my dad. I am my dad's little cotton-padded jacket, and I have to listen to him."
Seeing that she had no objection, Gu Chengzhi snorted and said, "Your father is just taking advantage of the fact that I haven't had time to look for him in the past two years. I'll go and have a good talk with him when I'm free."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I still need to go look for Ma Liu."
