On July 12th, Gu Qiao and his family went to Gujia Village.

Mei Huanqing's family also followed her back to Meijia Village.

They went back, one to worship their ancestors, and the other to make it easier to settle the Mei family. Otherwise, the Mei family and Gu Rui had already divorced, so it would be difficult to follow Gu Qiao and the others to go to Gujia Village.

Chen Zhao had already asked someone to repair the house. Mrs. Gu slept in the original bedroom. Chen Zhao and Gu Qiao slept in the small house next to the bedroom. As for Lingshan and others, they brought their own tents and set up a tent under the shed of the original pickled cabbage stew pond.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you're back! Oh, these are Qiao'er and Zhao'er, Ke Junke is so beautiful!" Liu immediately shouted warmly, and waved to the little girl next to him, "Nian'en, come and call her sister!"

The little daughter was timid. When she heard her shouting, she went under the wall instead.

Liu's old face suddenly became a little uneasy.

Gu Qiao immediately smiled and said, "Grandma, Nian En is afraid of life, I think it's better to forget it."

As she said that, she stepped forward and put a sachet into Liu's hand, "This is a gift to my child."

When Liu heard the word "fear of life", he knew that Gu Qiaoer was not willing to have too much contact with her family because of her former relatives' relationship.

"Hey, then I will thank the Duke Madam for Nian'en." She immediately preached with tactfulness.

"Grandma's uncle should call me Qiaoer."

"Okay." Liu blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In this Gujia Village, whether it is the patriarch or the Gu Xuexi family, all the whole family moved out because of their promising children and grandchildren. Even Gu Song, the big man behind Gu Ling and the others, is now a master of wine making, and has made a fortune.

The rest of the families also gain a lot of mustard greens every year and are becoming richer.

Only their family has a high-minded and low-key son, and does not want to work hard, but wants to get the best of Gu Ma Zi's family. His daughter-in-law Gao only knows how to compare. After Gu Ma Zi's family went to Suzhou, his life was overwhelming, and now it has become the poorest family in the village. At the end of this village, if Gu Ma Zi and the others had not arrived today, I am afraid that no one in the village would be willing to come and take a look.

She is old and it would be great if she could manage the food and drink of the whole family. She is really powerless to wear gold and silver like other families.

Just like today, Mrs. Gu's family finally came back, but her son didn't even dare to come to see someone.

Gu Qiao also knew the situation of their family. After all, Mei Zhiyong has been connecting with their family over the years.

The yard was entrusted to the Liu family for care. At first, it was fine. Later, Gao was jealous of their family's business of Shilizhuang and made a lot of money, so he asked Mrs. Gu to pay the money to guard the yard.

This matter was when Chen Wan was married, and the bastard Gu Kang personally talked to Mrs. Gu himself, and even Liu was kept in the dark.

Mrs. Gu thought that Chen Wan's wedding should not hurt the harmony and destroy the atmosphere, so she took out ten taels of silver in private. Who would have thought that Gu Kang was instigated by Gao and sent a letter to ask for money the next year.

At that time, it was too late to give birth, and she, Gu Pozi and Mei family wanted to exile in Suzhou.

Mei Zhiyong intercepted the letter and found Gu Qiao.

Before leaving, Gu Qiao made a harsh statement. She would not pay a penny for such a person who was greedy.

Not only that, she also wrote a letter in person, which Mei Zhiyong took to the village to find the clan elders and asked the clan elders' family to take care of the ancestral homes on their behalf.

The clan elder felt guilty about reporting Gu Qiao's age, so how could he not respond? He immediately announced the matter in front of the whole village.

At this point, the scandals done by Gu Kang's family were made public, and only then did Liu realize the confusing things that his son and daughter-in-law had done without him.

But at this point, she had no shame to get into the relationship between Gu Pozi's family. She has been working diligently over the years and has been able to make a living.

As for Gu Kang and his wife, Gu Kang was a young man after all, and was looked down upon by the villagers. In anger, he went to Ruling County to find a job. In the end, he did not achieve anything, but learned to gamble and even the little bit of his original family's old secrets were gone.

In a fit of anger, Gao left his daughter and divorced him, and remarried to a widower in another village.

Since Shilizhuang got on track and started to make profits, Mei Zhiyong has been taking care of Gujia Village, Meijia Village and Luojia Village, which opened a school. In recent years, the villagers in these villages have not been rich, but have saved a lot of money, let alone any family who will have children who cannot study. Only Gu Kang's family is poor and unique.

Seeing Liu's old face, Gu Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, marrying a wife and seeking a virtuous person will cause harm to three generations.

Gu Kang was not independent and self-disciplined enough. He was so sarcastic and competitive daughter-in-law like Gao, the ultimate result was that he was stolen and wrong things one by one, and the only choice he made himself turned him into a gambler.

I can only say that this is a destined disaster for their family and even the gods cannot save them.

But she was able to watch coldly, but Mrs. Gu couldn't help feeling sad when she saw it.

So when Liu invited Lingshan and Qishan to her house to rest, Mrs. Gu said, "Where can I feel comfortable sleeping in this tent? Besides, it's not a matter of one or two nights, so let them go to your uncle's house for a few nights?"

When Gu Qiao heard this, she sighed and looked at Shen Zhao.

"Okay, then you go to your uncle's house to rest." Shen Zhao spoke.

In fact, the Liu family only has dry straw and rotten cotton wool, so it is probably better to lay the floor!

Fortunately, Lingshan and the others are not the ones who are wronged, they bring their own bedding.

"When I turned around, let Lingshan and the others stuff a few taels of silver under the pillow. Back then, our family started with two taels of silver as a golden hairpin. At that time, I was only one year older than Nianen now. Moreover, there were two men in their family. If they couldn't stand up, it would be no wonder that we were. After all, we only have to help but not help but help them poorly." Gu Qiao preached to Shen Zhao.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Shen Zhao touched her head.

Gu Qiao tilted his head to avoid it, and then took Gu's hand, "Grandma, everyone has their own destiny, and we earn our lives today. If they don't earn it, no one can do anything about it."

"Grandma knows." Mrs. Gu naturally knows this truth.

But she and Liu married to Gujia Village. Seeing that Liu was not doing well and were both women, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The family was about to go into the house to rest, but the patriarch came with the villagers again.

Now that Gu Rui and his family have gone to the imperial capital, the position of patriarch has been given to another respected old man in the village.

"I originally planned to visit the clan elder after getting settled, but I didn't expect the clan elder to come in person. I'm sorry, I'm not here to welcome you." Mrs. Gu said politely.

"Where is, I'm welcome."

Afterwards, the clan elders brought the villagers to Shen Zhao and treated him with him. The group of people were very concerned about Gu Qiao's family.

In addition to respect and fear of Chen Zhao's high position, their gratitude and closeness are also sincere. After all, Gu Qiao's family has built a stable income channel for the village, turning this poor mountain village into a wealthy village.

"But now many families have money and have moved to Ruling City, either to open shops or to provide their children with official schools. The village is richer, but it is not as lively as before." At the end of the day, the clan elder couldn't help but sigh.

He stroked his beard, and his sharp eyes were filled with reluctance to leave this small village.

At night, Gu Qiao and Chen Zhao walked hand in hand on the ridge of the countryside.

The wind pulled the hemp stalks in her hand, there were frogs roaring in her ears, and the fragrance of rice flowers lingered at her nose.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Although the scenery of Shilizhuang is similar to that of this place, for some reason, I always feel that the scenery here is more beautiful."

"Or the mood is different. I didn't feel it when I didn't come. I realized that it seemed that our memories were left on every ridge of the field." Chen Zhao's eyes also became soft and erratic.

"Yes, I used to pick up snails everywhere and caught turtle doves at night. At that time, I was so poor, but a pot of snail soup could make me feel full of happiness." Gu Qiao couldn't help but sigh, "How simple and happy that time."

"The more people's desires, the more complex they are, the less happiness they can feel, maybe because we are all grown up."

"I still remember that summer, you, me, Xiaowan, cousin, Gu Ling and others, we held a full-lodge banquet together, and a small dumpling..." Speaking of this, Gu Qiao couldn't help but choke, and his eyes showed reluctance, "But now we are scattered around the world. If we want to reunite, it will be difficult for this life."

Chen Zhao held her shoulders, let her lean in his arms, looked at the bright moon in the sky with her, and solemnly said, "I will always be by your side."

The moon became blurred in Gu Qiao's hazy vision, and her nose was slightly sore, and she couldn't help but think of the full moon night.

"I will never forget the scene of you fighting side by side with Xiaotuanzi. I miss it so much... Where do you think it is now?"

"The lifespan of the wolf is about 10 to 20 years. Now it must be with its wolf-wolf grandchildren in the mountains. Just like us, we can finally let go of everything and be free and worry-free. And it has a female wolf with it, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Qiao felt a little warm and was finally comforted and no longer so sad.

"You have to be with me too." She couldn't help but grab the hand that Chen Zhao put on her shoulders, then looked up at him.

"Follower, of course." Chen Zhao lowered his head and wrote a kiss on her forehead.

The two then took a leisurely walk home.

When he arrived in front of the courtyard wall, Gu Qiao couldn't help but point to the grapes that were climbing all over the courtyard wall and said, "Look at the time, these grapes have grown into old vines."

"Time is really fast. Look at the peach tree on the ridge of the field, it's so big."

"No, the peach trees in Shilizhuang are so high, let alone the one who planted them first." Gu Qiao said with a smile.

The two of them sighed at the changes at home. When they arrived at the door of the bedroom, Gu Qiao could not help but smile and said, "Look at the Spring Festival couplets you wrote, what have become? This is the calligraphy of Duke Ding!"

The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the summer.

From the original Spring Festival couplets, only one word "wind" and one word from the broken paper were seen, and all the others were peeled off or incomplete.

"After so many years, if you want to keep it for a long time, you should count the word on the wooden board of the granary." Mrs. Gu also smiled.

She sat on a rattan chair under the eaves, with mugwort velvet at her feet, and constantly shaking her palm-leaf fan, a completely cool rural old woman.

If it weren't for the fact that people were really old and afraid of the cold, she would have wanted to ask Liu's family to take a tour of the river for two times.

"Is it still there?" Gu Qiao was surprised and immediately pulled Chen Zhao to see.

I saw that the original eight characters and the order marked with ink on each wooden board were still there on the granary door.

"It's really here." Chen Zhao smiled.

"I was so tired when I collected the food." Gu Qiao also smiled all over his eyes.

Then the scene of autumn harvest and Shen Zhao helping their house collect soybeans in this yard appeared in his mind.

"I remember that was the first time you carried me. You were so thin, but I didn't expect to carry me under the eaves." Gu Qiao suddenly said.

Chen Zhao also fell into memories with her voice.

At that time, they stepped on soybeans with their feet, but who knew that her feet suddenly got stuck in the branches of soybeans and were injured later.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub her head, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What a hard work? I have completely forgotten what it feels like to be scratched by bean straw, but I still remember the scene of you carrying me. No wonder the ancients said that the scars were healed and they forgot the pain." She smiled happily.

Memory is really a magical thing. She forgot the pain, but she will always remember his care and tenderness.

And this yard, this vast world, is filled with these memories.

Little by little, the little things constitute her youth, these suffering, struggle and beautiful memories ultimately made her today.

"Okay, go to bed early. We will have to go to the mountain to worship your grandfather and the others tomorrow." Mrs. Gu preached, put away the palm-leaf fan, and then got up.

"Okay." Gu Qiao immediately responded obediently.

The two of them had been traveling all day in the day and were really tired, so they immediately washed up and took a break.
