âWhy wouldnât I know? Look at Jiang Yongkang. Although heâs dressed decently, is energetic, and speaks politely, you can tell at a glance that he hasnât studied.â
Dong Xiulan was puzzled. âYou donât seem to like Jiang Yongkang. Didnât he help bring you back earlier?â
Zeng Hu stood up and walked out. âWhatâs there not to like? Heâs from town, and Iâm just a farmer. It should be he who doesnât like me. I just feel uncomfortable talking to him.â
He thought about it and didnât know how to express it. âHe likes to talk word by word. He starts quoting ancient books after two sentences. I get a headache and canât chat with him.â
âThen youâre finished. Yundongâs father has studied, so thereâs a lot of ink in his stomach. He must know more words. When he comes to visit us later, you wonât be able to entertain him.â
Zeng Hu shook his head. âThis is different.â
It wasnât like he hadnât spoken to a scholar before. For example, Mr. Qin had come to Yongfu Village a few times before. He had only met him twice at the door and spoken more than a few words.
However, there was no awkwardness. Instead, it made people feel very comfortable.
Mr. Qin didnât talk too much. He just chatted normally. He talked about things others knew. Sometimes, as he talked, others would forget that he was actually a man with a lot of experience.
In Zeng Huâs opinion, this was a true scholar.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Yongkang looked a little out of place.
But no matter what, he had never seen Gu Dajiang before and did not know his personality.
However, he was still very happy that the Gu family was reunited.
It was not just his family. Many people in the village had seen them along the way and naturally knew that Gu Yundongâs father had returned.
For a moment, everyone began to discuss.
Many people would stop them and ask questions. By the time Gu Yundong and the others reached the village chiefâs house, half an hour had passed.
The first person to see them was Chen Jincai. He almost jumped up when he saw Gu Yundong.
No, he had just gone to her not long ago, and now she was here. Was she going to settle scores with him?
Gu Yundong smiled, and Gu Dajiang, who was beside her, spoke first.
âExcuse me, is the village chief at home?â
Only then did Chen Jincai stop his gaze on him. After a slight pause, he nodded. âHe is. Come in.â
As he spoke, he turned around and called for his father.
Chen Liang knew that Gu Yundong had returned, but he did not know that Gu Dajiang had also been found.
When she saw them, she was really shocked and her eyes widened in surprise.
In fact, his initial thoughts were similar to Aunt Keâs. He also felt that Gu Dajiang was either gone or he was most likely remarried and had children outside. It was unlikely that he would return.
Unexpectedly, he really appeared. Moreover, from the looks of it, he cherished Madam Yang, his wife.
Chen Liang thought that it was no wonder that he could raise three children like Yundong and her siblings.
As expected, a father had a huge impact on his children.
As Chen Liang spoke to Gu Dajiang, he thought about many things.
When he knew that Gu Dajiang had come to his house as soon as he returned, he couldnât suppress the joy on his face. This meant that the man valued him.
Scholars were indeed different. They knew etiquette.
In his happiness, Chen Liang could not help but pull him along and say a few more words.
It was only when Gu Yundong saw that it was almost lunchtime that she interrupted them and expressed that they had to go back.
However, before she left, she took another look at Chen Jincai.
