Daan was also very cooperative, sitting upright and his eyes shining.
Yang Ruoqing then said to Da'an: "Your brother-in-law, he likes your niece the most. She is such an old girl. When we sit at home, she sometimes still holds her in her lap. She is so spoiled that her buttocks are gone!"
Daan smiled.
Luo Fengtang also smiled, "I really can't refute this..."
Da'an echoed: "My daughter is my father's caring little cotton-padded jacket, and my brother-in-law dotes on his niece. I completely understand, after all, the baby is smart and lovely."
Luo Fengtang seemed to have met a close friend and said to Da'an: "You haven't seen your Fuwa yet, so there are some things that you can't relate to. When you go home and see your daughter Fuwa, you will understand!"
"Sir, there is a wedding team approaching from the front."
The attendant driving the car suddenly asked for instructions.
Daan immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, surprised.
"Gu...Gu Zhihua?"
Yang Ruoqing was also surprised immediately, and walked over to Da'an to take a look outside. The group of people coming in front to welcome the bride were none other than Gu Zhihua. Behind them were the uncles of Zhou Sheng's family, who were all from Changping Village, more than a dozen of them. Twenty young and old men.
"Da'an, sit back." Yang Ruoqing quickly lowered the curtain and pulled Da'an to sit back.
While Da'an was stunned, Yang Ruoqing ordered the entourage who was driving the car, "Stop and drive slowly to let the wedding party pass first."
The carriage continues to move.
In the car, Da'an was a little confused: "Sister, Gu Zhihua was my classmate when I was studying at Qingshui Town Academy. Why didn't you let me get out of the car and say hello to him?"
Yang Ruoqing said angrily: "Gu Zhihua is going to our Changping Village to marry Huahua today."
Daan was surprised: "Gu Zhihua married Huahua? But that Huahua from Sister Ping'er's family?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Daan said politely: "Huahua is my distant cousin, and Gu Zhihua is a former classmate. The two of them are a couple, so I should go down and say hello! Why didn't my sister stop me? Is there any reason for this? ?”
At this time, the wedding team on the opposite side had already arrived and was in the process of 'meeting'. Yang Ruoqing leaned into Daan's ear and explained briefly the reason why she stopped him from getting out of the car to say hello.
Finally, she stepped back and said unhappily: "This Gu Zhihua has a problem with his character and is not aboveboard in his actions. As for Huahua, he insists on going his own way. He is fascinated by those gorgeous appearances and his loyal words hurt your Aunt Ping'er. "Xin, I naturally have no good impressions of this couple. If you get out of the car to say hello, Gu Zhihua will inevitably climb up the pole and look for you."
Don't let Gu Zhihua get attached to her. They were once classmates, and now they are related by relatives. It doesn't sound right to say no.
Get attached to Gu Zhihua. With Gu Zhihua's kind of character, Yang Ruoqing wouldn't want to see Da'an having anything to do with him.
Moreover, if Gu Zhihua is allowed to cling to her, Huahua will definitely feel that it is because of her face. When the time comes, she will really have a foothold in the Gu family. With Ping'er, Huahua will deny Ping'er even more.
In view of each of the above situations, Yang Ruoqing cannot agree!
Therefore, we must not allow Daan to get attached to Gu Zhihua.
Da'an understood what Yang Ruoqing said when he heard it.
At this time, the two parties met on the road. Da'an sat quietly in the car and said nothing. It was not until the Gu family's wedding team outside had gone away that Da'an raised the curtain of the carriage and glanced behind the wedding team. When the curtain was closed, he ordered The entourage continued to drive.
"Da'an, how was your friendship with Gu Zhihua when you were studying in Qingshui Town? He seems to have a good friendship with Dajie, and they often hang out in private. The red line with Huahua was originally held by Dajie!"
After getting back on the road, Yang Ruoqing asked Daan again.
Da'an recalled: "Actually, Gu Zhihua and I were classmates for only one year, and we talked less to each other during that year. He was a student who came from the county to study at the town academy, and most of the time he was with students who also came from the county. In one place, Dajie and I are together every day, and I don’t see him interacting with Dajie that much.”
"The next year, I won the exam and went to Qing'an County to continue my studies. But he didn't win the exam, so he continued to study in the town academy. Maybe that's when he started dating Dajie, especially later, The two of them won the championship in the same year, and their mutual support has become even closer."
"When I won the top prize in the exam, I did receive congratulatory letters from many classmates, including one from Gu Zhihua, but I forgot the reason at the time and could not respond to them all. Since then, there has been no news from Gu Zhihua. Not moving around either.”
After hearing Daan's memories, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
"Whether a person like Gu Zhihua has good character or not, it doesn't matter if you don't associate with him. Although the friendship between classmates is valuable and it's great to watch each other out in the officialdom, if the other person has bad character and bad intentions, then not only can we not help each other , on the contrary, it will become a shortcoming and hold you back.”
Facing his sister's earnest advice, Da'an nodded cautiously.
He understood that only his real family would remind him of this sincerely.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm an adult now, and I have my own rules for interacting with others," he said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled. Of course she believed in this younger brother. He entered the Hanlin Academy at a young age. If he worked in a place like that, everyone would become a human being.
In recent years, my brother has never made a single mistake, which shows that he is indeed a measured person.
But that's how it is for a sister. No matter how independent the younger brother is in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of her own sister, the younger brother will always be the little tail following her.
"Da'an, why didn't your brother Zichuan come back for the New Year?"
Luo Fengtang, who had been quietly listening to the chat between the siblings, suddenly spoke.
Yang Ruoqing also suddenly realized, yes, it's already twenty-six years and Mu Zichuan hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he won't come back this year?
Da'an said: "Brother Zichuan has bought a mansion in the capital. He probably won't come back this year. Before I left, I went to see him and drank all night. He was drunk and said something to me. Whenever I think of his words on the road, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"What did he say?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Da'an frowned and said, "Without his mother, he loses his home. Rather than come back to see things and miss people, it would be better not to come back."
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were both speechless.
Outside the car window, the midwinter landscape flashed backwards. The fields were desolate. There was still unmelted ice and snow in the dark land. The greenery had not yet broken through the ground. The withered grass was yellow. Jackdaws were sitting on the branches, shaking their wings and chirping hoarsely. .
For tourists who have families and relatives waiting for them, they feel happy when they return.
But for a person like Mu Zichuan, who has no father, mother, or brothers and sisters, Changping Village is neither home nor home to him.
Coming back will only increase the sadness.
