Chapter 109 Building relationships
The He couple were a little surprised when they first arrived at the blue brick house. They didn't expect that there would be such a nice house in the village. There seemed to be a wolf tied in the yard?
Wolf! ?
Mrs. He slowly walked to the side of the little black wolf. She couldn't believe that there were wolves in this village. However, based on her experience fighting on the battlefield in the first half of her life, this was indeed an extremely agile wolf.
Guo Zhi walked closer with a smile and said, "Grandma, did you notice anything different?"
In fact, she was a little worried that the wolf would starve to death if no one was taking care of it in the village, or that the wolf would secretly break free from its chains and cause harm to the villagers. So when she went to study at the academy, she thought about whether she should release it directly back into the mountains.
But at that time Liu You promised her that if their family helped to raise the child, nothing would go wrong.
Out of trust in him, and because the wolf cub seemed to have fully recovered at that time, he handed it over to Uncle Liu's family.
Unexpectedly, when the wolf came back this time, its fur was shiny and its eyes were full of energy.
"Is it a wolf?" Mrs. He whispered.
Guo Zhi nodded and said, "I accidentally rescued this when my elder sister and I went hunting in the mountains. Grandma, you can try to touch it. It doesn't bite people and is very human."
Mrs. He was still a little hesitant. Guo Zhi took her hand and slowly touched the wolf. The wolf raised its head, opened its mouth wide, showing its sharp teeth, and looked at Mrs. He.
She was so scared that she wanted to take her hand back, but Guo Zhi patted the wolf cub hard and said, "Behave yourself and don't scare my grandmother!"
Guo Zhi glared at him again and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry about this wolf cub. I'll take you to see where you live."
Guo Xi also came up and said, "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, our place is really nice, and there are many things here that you have never seen before!"
He Xiangan smiled and nodded: "Okay~"
As he spoke, he took Mrs. He's hand and walked slowly inside, his eyes glancing at a small house in the distance. The roof was made of thatch, and the grey walls were dotted with straw and soil that seemed to be used to fill holes.
With some guesses in mind, he hesitated and asked, "What is that little house over there?"
Guo Xi smiled and introduced generously: "That was our previous hut, it was shabby, but very cozy."
He Xiangan looked at the three chubby white children in front of him and swallowed. He wondered how many hardships the children had gone through along the way. Fortunately, the children were still alive and there was still time for everything.
……
"You said that Guo Xin's biological grandparents are here?" A woman who was sitting on the ground picking vegetables said in surprise.
"Of course! His demeanor is different from ours. He looks even more noble than the nobleman from Rufangzhai who came here last time. He might be from the capital."
The woman quickly stood up, brushed off the dirt on her body, and said, "I have to go back. The family still relies on me."
She had to tell her father-in-law about this matter as soon as possible, but it was more or less related to her family. They were a family from the capital. If they were related, wouldn't her family also be prosperous?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Eunuch, have you heard that Guo Xin's biological grandparents came to look for them? They said they were officials in the capital. If we can be related to them, then we won't have to worry about our precious son."
"Guan'er!" Guo Bogong, who was chewing grass roots, stood up and exclaimed.
"Yeah, why don't we go take a look and talk about the relationship."
Guo Bogong nodded and said, "Take the eggs from home and a pot of wine you brewed yourself. As for the chickens at home?"
After a pause, he said, "Forget it, let's not take the chicken. It will lay eggs and your son will eat them."
As they spoke, the two of them walked towards Guo Xin's house with a basket of eggs and some lettuces.
"Ruo'er, I came to see you!" Guo Bogong shouted at the door.
When Guo Ruo heard this familiar voice, he felt annoyed. He wondered what this Uncle Guo was here for. He had already made things so embarrassing last time in the provincial capital, and now he was here again.
The He family couple looked at Guo Ruo's face and asked, "Are you okay? Do you want us to go out and help?"
Guo Ruo shook his head and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, don't worry, I'll go see him and will be back soon."
After saying this, he signaled Guo Zhi and Guo Xi to take good care of them, and then walked out with murderous intent.
He moved the fence vigorously and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
She really hated the two people in front of her. Although they didn't get any benefit from her last time when they went to the provincial capital, they spread rumors in the clinic and made her third sister suffer injustice in the academy. Now they came to her again.
In the past, when her family was poor and worked hard, she never saw Guo Bogong visiting her family so often. Although she has a weak personality, she has learned a lot from following her second sister during these days.
Uncle Guo smiled, seemingly not caring about Guo Ruo's disrespect for him, and said flatteringly, "I heard that your grandparents came to visit, so I brought some gifts to see my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Guo Ruo laughed out loud. The Uncle Guo in front of him was really shameless. She was not a biological child of the Guo family, and her grandparents had nothing to do with Uncle Guo. How could this uncle call her grandmother sister-in-law?
Seeing Guo Ruo's expression, Guo Bogong knew that Guo Ruo would not be able to pass this test. However, if he could not even meet the official in the capital, his son's future would be in jeopardy. So he shouted, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you came all the way from the capital, so I brought some vegetables and wine that I grew myself to see you."
As he said that, he pushed Guo Ruo away and walked inside, while Aunt Guo stopped Guo Ruo from the side.
Guo Ruo was extremely angry, but he did not dare to really take Guo Bogong away. If something happened in his own yard, he would not be able to explain it even if he had ten mouths.
Guo Bogong walked into the house unhindered and immediately saw the gray-haired He couple sitting nearby. They sat very straight with an extraordinary demeanor, like a great general, which made Guo Bogong stunned for a moment.
But he quickly reacted, wiped his hands on his clothes, arched his face and took the basket handed over by Aunt Guo, saying: "Sister-in-law, brother, I am the great-uncle of Guo Ruo and his family. Although they are not our flesh and blood, I have raised them for so many years, so I also regard them as my own nephews and grandchildren."
"So, after hearing that Guo Ruo and his grandparents had returned, they came to visit and brought some food they grew themselves. Although you are all used to eating delicacies from land and sea, this tastes absolutely simple and has a unique flavor."
