Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 195 It’s too late

As Wang Cuihua expected, Zhao Dani was indeed not calm. She started cursing as soon as she entered the door.

"God is so blind to let this bastard get into college. I want to go there someday..."

She was muttering viciously when Gu Dali walked in and asked in a calm voice, "What are you talking about?"

"That bastard couple actually got into college."

After listening to this, Gu Dali had no expression on his face and continued with his previous actions, but if you look closely, you can see that his hands are a little stiff.

"Where is Junzi?" Gu Dali asked.

"They said they haven't notified me yet. I'm sure our Junzi will be able to get into a good university."

"Yeah!" Gu Dali responded with his head down, an inexplicable expression on his face.

When Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi returned home, it was almost dark.

The two of them saw a dark shadow at the gate from a distance. Liu Xiaoxi tightened her arms around the child and asked softly, "I saw someone at our gate."

"Yeah." Gu Zhan responded in a low voice, then let Liu Xiaoxi walk behind him.

The two men slowly approached, and Gu Dali's figure came into sight.

Gu Zhan frowned and continued walking forward. Liu Xiaoxi also paused and continued to follow Gu Zhan.

Seeing the couple coming back with the child, Gu Dali tried to raise the corners of his lips, but the weather was too cold and his face was already frozen.

"Are you back?"

"Yeah." Gu Zhan responded and took out the key to open the door.

Gu Dali took a step closer and said awkwardly, "I heard that you and your wife both got into college?"

"Hmm!" Gu Zhan's words were concise and to the point. To Gu Dali, it sounded like Gu Zhan didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

At this time, Gu Zhan, who was 22 years old and had become completely strong and independent, looked at this extremely biased old man. In addition to being calm, he also felt an inexplicable sadness.

It was like a previous life that had happened, like a dull tragedy movie with a gray filter. He was just a passer-by, and his emotions were only affected by this movie.

After the movie, when he faced the characters in the movie again, he could not muster any thoughts of condemnation or condemnation. He just wanted to get closer to a sunny place, stay away, farther and farther, and finally stay away completely, so that all the unpleasant memories would be obliterated in the distant memory.

Seeing Gu Zhan's indifference, Gu Dali hesitated for a while, followed Gu Zhan, and walked into his grandson's small home for the first time in more than a year.

Because Gu Dali was following behind, Liu Xiaoxi walked faster with the child in her arms, entered the main room first, and lit the kerosene lamp.

Gu Dali stood at the door of the main room, waiting hesitantly for Gu Zhan to invite him in. However, Gu Zhan was busy removing the quilt from the child and didn't pay any attention to Gu Dali standing outside.

Gu Dali was embarrassed and walked in by himself.

He glanced at his great-granddaughter, who was sitting on the kang playing. She was neatly dressed, with a chubby face. She looked well-cared for. He asked cautiously, "Is this Xinxin?"

"Yeah!" Seeing that Gu Zhan didn't respond, Liu Xiaoxi hurriedly continued.

"Today I heard your Aunt Cuihua next door say that you were admitted to a university in the capital. I know you are a capable person."

After a pause, seeing that Gu Zhan didn't say anything, he continued, "Your cousin hasn't received the notice yet. Can you help find out about it?"

Gu Dali finished speaking to himself, and seeing that Gu Zhan was about to lose his temper, he hurriedly said, "I was just saying it. If you don't want to ask, forget it."

"Actually, I don't know why you two have such a deep hatred for each other? One of you can't tolerate the other? You clearly haven't had any major conflicts."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately felt that the old man was really blind. Gu Jun relied on the power of his family and bullied Gu Zhan a lot.

"Grandpa, today is a good day. Let's not talk about trivial things." Liu Xiaoxi couldn't help but said.

"Well, I'm just saying that. I just came here today to congratulate you two. I'm an old man now, and I don't know how many times we'll be able to see each other again."

The scene was silent, with only the occasional voice of little Gu Xinxin speaking.

After Gu Dali finished speaking, the couple remained in the same state as before. His rough fingers moved, and finally, after a long and rustling struggle, he rummaged through his cotton coat under his smock and pulled out a roll of banknotes. He handed it to Gu Zhan and said, "Here's twenty yuan. You both go to school, and your expenses are high. This money can be used to supplement your travel expenses. It's also a token of my appreciation."

Gu Zhan's hands were clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms were bulging. He turned around, staring at Gu Dali with red eyes, and said hatefully, "Old man, it's too late. What were you doing?"

Gu Zhan also knew that he looked very uncalm. He had no emotion at the moment when he saw Gu Dali, but when Gu Dali took out the twenty yuan, all the grievances he had suffered in the Gu family in his two lifetimes were aroused.

Gu Dali was stunned for a moment and remained silent, like a child who had done something wrong.

This was the first time Liu Xiaoxi saw Gu Zhan like this. Gu Zhan always looked calm and composed in front of her. How could he have such an emotional reaction?

Liu Xiaoxi felt extremely distressed. She walked over and grabbed Gu Zhan's hand that was hanging by his side, holding it tightly in her palm.

Feeling the warmth from his hand, Gu Zhan forced himself to calm down.

After a long while, he finally found his voice again. He slowly opened his lips and said, "Grandpa, take it back. We said it when we split up the family business. Our two families have nothing to do with each other anymore."

After saying that, he ignored Gu Dali and turned around to pick up his daughter who was sitting on the kang.

Gu Dali had never seen his grandson like this before. Looking at his grandson's aggrieved eyes, he seemed to remember something. He seemed to have seen his grandson look at him like this many times, but he was not sure if he remembered it wrongly.

He attributed it all to the fact that too much time had passed and that he had forgotten. And he knew that in the long time to come, he would continue to forget until he left this world.

Gu Dali silently put the stack of banknotes he had just given back into his pocket, looked at the happy family of three, and turned away silently.

He is old now and has no power to change anything, so he can only let things take their course.

When they returned home, Zhao Dani was still cursing, while in Gu Jun's room, the kerosene lamp was on and Zhao Hongmei's sobbing could be faintly heard.

After Gu Dali left, the room became quiet.

Liu Xiaoxi tugged at Gu Zhan's hand and said softly, "Don't think too much. You still have me and our cute and lovely Xinxin. It's better for us to be together as a family, right? Xinxin, my dear."

When Gu Xinxin saw her mother teasing her, she grinned, revealing her small teeth as big as rice grains, and giggled.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhan's mind finally relaxed. It was worth it to have everything precious now. As for those things that were destined to no longer belong to him or to be discarded, there was no need to pick them up again.
