In the afternoon, the two of them went to the empty land together.
Gu Chengrui drew a simple map and gave a detailed plan of the land to Sun Hongliang. “I’ll stay here for at least seven more days. You can look for craftsmen. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and find me.
“Oh, right, there’s also the well. Let’s dig out the well first before we build the workshop.”
“Understood. I’ll arrange it tomorrow.” Sun Hongliang nodded.
On the other side, the patriarch and his two sons began to inform the others after they had arranged the matters at home.
It was already late in the afternoon after Gu Chengsi had informed everyone. However, he did not go home. Instead, he bought some gifts and went straight to the Bai family.
In the end, he was told that Mrs. Bai had already brought the child back, so he could only put down the gift and rush home.
When he reached home, he saw Mrs. Bai sitting in the courtyard with the child in her arms and eating melon seeds. Her mother and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and even her eldest brother was sitting at the kitchen door and picking vegetables.
Gu Chengsi’s expression immediately turned ugly. He went forward to carry the child. “I’ll take care of the child. Go help out in the kitchen. I have to treat Brother Chengrui to dinner tonight.”
“It’s such a small kitchen. I can’t even move my feet if I go in.” Mrs. Bai raised her head and said coquettishly.
“Then take over the work from Big Brother.” Gu Chengsi’s face darkened.
Ever since he pa.s.sed the imperial examination last year, she has been a little arrogant and picky about everything. He did not expect that she would go even further now, suppressing even her mother and brother.
After saying that, he did not even give her a chance to explain. Instead, he carried the child and went straight into the house.
Mrs. Bai looked at his dark face and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She got up and went to help.
When Gu Chengen saw this, he finished picking up the fungus in his hand. He got up and returned to the house. “What are you doing? You just came back, and you’re already throwing a tantrum.”
“She doesn’t know what’s good for her. If we don’t reel her temper in, she might cause some trouble in the future. By the way, where’s Father?” Gu Chengsi asked.
“Mother said she went to find a chef. She should be back soon.”
“Oh.” Gu Chengsi nodded, and the two of them discussed the people to be notified, how to arrange the seats for that day, etc.
Not long after, the patriarch rushed back. Then, Gu Chengrui carried two roast chickens and wines from Hongyun Restaurant and rushed over.
When the patriarch saw this, he said to Gu Chengen, “Chengen, make a trip to call Chengye, Chengxi, and Chenglin over too. You brothers can have a gathering.”
“Aye.” Gu Chengen responded, got up, and ran out.
Gu Chengrui put down the wine and asked, “Uncle, how’s the preparation for the banquet the day after tomorrow? If you need any help, just let me know.” “It’s almost ready. You and Chengye have to wake up early the day after tomorrow to help us greet our guests.”
“No problem. We’ll come over early in the morning. By the way, are we still holding it outside the ancestral hall?”
“Yes, it’s s.p.a.cious. If it’s not enough, there’s still a grain-crushing field at the side.”
After chatting for a while, the patriarch asked about their situation in the capital.
Knowing that they were living well, he gave them a few more pieces of advice. He mainly told them to keep a low profile so that they would not be targeted.
Soon, Gu Chengen brought Gu Chengye and the other two over.
Gu Chengxi stepped forward and introduced the patriarch to Gu Chenglin.
“While I shouldn’t be your direct uncle based on the family tree, you can still call me your uncle now that your surname has changed to Gu.”
The patriarch sized Gu Chenglin up. “You sure look like your mother—fair and handsome.
“I heard that you also pa.s.sed the Elementary Scholar exam last year?”
“Uncle, I did pa.s.s, but my results weren’t too good. I only got 28th place.” Gu Chenglin replied with a smile..
