167 Talking Too Much
After a while, an old lady with white hair that was dressed simply but elegantly walked out of the house.
Gu Man quickly walked over and greeted, “Grandma.”
Seeing that her grandmother still looked good, Gu Man was relieved.
The old lady happily let Gu Man support her. “My Manman is the most filial.”
“Grandma, this is my friend… Xiao Xiang. It’s all thanks to him for driving me here.” Gu Man said Little Xiang with some difficulty.
Grandma looked at Xiang Yin and shouted very familiarly, “Little Xiang, thank you. We’ve really caused you trouble.”
“Grandma Huang, Gu Man and I are friends. It’s not troublesome.”
When the old lady saw that not only was Xiang Yin good-looking, but he was also humble, she was even happier. “You are all good children. I’m an old woman. I’m old, so I hope that the younger generation can come and visit me more.”
“Aunt, aren’t they here to see you? We’ll be following Manman out to the city in a while. We’ll be able to see them every day,” Huang Jun quickly said to the old lady.
The old lady immediately threw away the guilt of burdening her junior and said happily, “Okay, okay, okay. I didn’t expect that my good fortune would come later.”
Xiang Yin looked at the two-story red brick house in front of him. Although it did not have a luxurious design, the courtyard was still clean and unique. The two sides of the courtyard were filled with fruits and vegetables. There was a longan tree that was very tall and covered half of the courtyard. It was best to enjoy the shade here.
“You lived here since you were young? It must be interesting, right?” Xiang Yin lowered his head slightly and asked Gu Man.
Gu Man was stunned. She searched the original owner’s memories with some difficulty. After a long while, she said, “It’s alright. I didn’t like to go out when I was young. It doesn’t seem interesting, but it’s quite good overall.”
“There are actually benefits to living in the countryside. You can interact closely with nature. Sometimes, I feel that going into the river to fish is much better than growing up in a big city looking at your phone and computer.” Xiang Yin’s tone seemed to be filled with regret.
As the son of the Xiang Family, although he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he was destined to carry a lot of pressure that others could not imagine.
“Be it in the city or in the countryside, there are good and bad things. As long as you’re content and adapt to the environment, it’s good no matter where you are,” the old lady said happily.
Xiang Yin nodded and smiled. “Grandma Huang is still the one with clarity.”
“I can’t not have clarity at this age.” The old lady chuckled and waved her hand.
Xiang Yin recalled the information he had previously found. The Huang family was originally a rich family in Han City. They only moved back to the village after their family fell. The person in front of him, Grandma Huang, was also someone who had seen prosperity. Now, even though she had fallen and resided in the countryside, she was still cheerful. He could not help but admire her.
“Grandma Huang is someone who has seen the world yet you can still be so optimistic, you are a role model for us juniors,” Xiang Yin said sincerely.
Gu Man was surprised. Xiang Yin usually did not seem like a talkative person, but today, he was exceptionally humble and spoke a lot!
Worried that they would continue praising her, Gu Man quickly said, “Grandma, didn’t you say that Huang Jue would be home today? Why don’t I see him?”
The old man said, “He said that they only started their vacation this morning and he’s taking the bus back from the county. He should be here soon.”
Gu Man tilted her head and explained to Xiang Yin, “Huang Jue is my cousin. He’s studying in junior high school in the county city. He’s coming back today too. He’ll stay with us in Han City for a couple of days.”
Xiang Yin nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy appeared at the door. Huang Jun laughed and said, “Huang Jue, come and meet your Cousin Gu Man and Brother Xiang.”
Huang Jue was surprised for a moment when he saw Gu Man and Xiang Yin. Cousin Gu Man was too different from a few months ago. He almost couldn’t recognize her. And the man sitting beside her was even more dazzling than the idols on television.
Huang Jue walked over obediently and called out shyly, “Cousin, Brother Xiang.”
Gu Man also replied, “Cousin.”
Seeing that Huang Jue was a little restrained, Gu Man’s grandmother quickly smiled and pulled him to sit beside her. “This child has only been separated from Cousin for a short time, but now that you see her, you’re shy.”
Huang Jue scratched his head in embarra.s.sment and said, “Cousin Gu Man has changed. She looks much better. I can’t even recognize her.”
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
