Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

At the gate of the Cheng family, all the members of the Cheng family were present except Cheng Daping, who was not at home, and Cheng Daniu, Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu who had just arrived at the gate with Mu Dong.

Together with Lin Pan, Zhao Yuncong, Guihua, Yanqiu, Jinxiang, He Chunlai and Liu Yue, more than 20 people walked towards that station in an orderly manner, which looked quite spectacular.

"Xu~"

Shao Qing stopped the carriage with a bright smile on his face. From the number of people standing at the gate, he felt that the Cheng family valued and welcomed the arrival of his young master.

Old Mrs. Lin's face was filled with enthusiasm and joy. She walked towards the carriage and said, "We were just discussing whether we should go outside the village to meet you. We didn't expect you to be here so soon. It must have been a difficult journey. There's hot soup on the stove at home, and the fire is burning. Come in, drink some hot soup and warm yourself up by the fire."

Shao Qing jumped off the carriage and bowed respectfully to Old Lady Lin and the others before he stood up and said with a smile, "Hey! Thank you, old lady. I know that it is more comfortable here than anywhere else! You are always the most caring!"

As expected of a young man, these two sentences made Old Lady Lin laugh so hard that her eyes disappeared, and everyone else was happier than the other.

The car curtain was opened by a large jade-white hand, and then Gu Yan's handsome and noble face appeared in front of everyone.

The smiles on the faces of Old Lady Lin and others froze. To be honest, it was not until this moment when Gu Yan really appeared in front of them that they began to feel a little more real about the possibility that Gu Yan might become the son-in-law of the Cheng family.

I had told you many times at home what to say and what to do when I meet Gu Yan, but when I saw Gu Yan's face, I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

The originally lively and joyful scene suddenly became quiet. Gu Yan's hand holding the car curtain tightened unconsciously. His long eyelashes trembled slightly. He felt uneasy and nervous in his heart, and instinctively looked for Cheng Wan's figure.

Cheng Wan walked up to the carriage with a smile on his face. His expression and tone were very natural. "Where's Sui Sui?"

"Wanwan!" Gu Yu's little head popped out from the car.

"Hey, Sui Sui, come quickly, let me hug you!" Cheng Wan stretched out his arms and carried Gu Yu out of the car, looking up at Gu Yan with a bright and brilliant smile, "Grandma and the others cleaned up your room yesterday and prepared a lot of delicious food, just waiting for you to come, come down quickly, let's go home."

"Ah, yes, yes, let's go home. We can talk about it at home. Everything is ready at home." Old Mrs. Lin and others woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly greeted them.

Gu Yan felt warm in his heart, and his eyes became a little gentler. Every move he made when he got off the carriage revealed his noble temperament that made Old Lady Lin and others uncomfortable.

Cheng Daniu suppressed his nervousness and discomfort, and tried to act like a future father-in-law. He said in a steady voice, "It's like being at home here. Let's go home first."

A group of people walked into the yard, talking and laughing, leaving Shao Qing and the boys at home to park the carriage and take out the things in the carriage.

There was quite a bit of commotion outside the Cheng family's front door. The villagers who had the good news watched from afar and gossiped to each other, but no one came over to ask any more questions.

How tactless must one be to come and try to make a presence when others are having a great time? Even good letters have to be sent at the right time.

People who were a little further away only knew that there was a guest at the Cheng family, but they didn't know who it was. However, the Lu family, who lived opposite the Cheng family, were closer, so their people saw Gu Yan's face clearly.

"I saw it for sure. It was the young master who came to our village before. He looked very impressive! Old man, why did the young master come to Cheng's house during the New Year? Could it be that he was giving a New Year gift to Cheng's family?" Old Man Lu's wife, Mrs. Liu, frowned and shook her head. She continued to talk to herself, "It doesn't look like him. I always feel like something is wrong."

Old Man Lu sat cross-legged on the kang, took a puff of his pipe, and said slowly: "They came here for business, so we should just watch and not go out and say anything. We can't afford to offend rich people."

"I know, I'm just gossiping with you..."

At the same time, a similar conversation was taking place between Mrs. Zhang's family and Mrs. Song's family.

The two families were familiar with the appearance of Gu Yan, Gu Yu and Shao Qing, so they naturally knew who came to the Cheng family.

But they didn’t quite understand why Gu Yan and the other two would come to the Cheng family during the New Year.

They thought that Gu Yan came to discuss something with Cheng Wan, that Gu Yan brought Gu Yu to thank the Cheng family for taking care of Gu Yu for a period of time, that Gu Yan had something to do and left Gu Yu at the Cheng family for a while..., but they never thought that Gu Yan came to formally visit the elders of the Cheng family and to spend the New Year at the Cheng family.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang's family and Mrs. Song's family didn't understand the situation and didn't get too hung up on it. The two families just made a tacit decision that if the Cheng family needed any help, they would always be there to lend a hand.

In the Cheng family's kitchen, a circle of people sat around the fire.

The originally spacious kitchen was packed with people.

Gu Yan was wearing a sand-green brocade robe, a silver crown and jade belt, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and black boots. This attire, coupled with his extremely handsome face, to be honest, did not match this noisy, crowded, and overly smoky kitchen.

Speaking of good-looking, Cheng Wan is also very good-looking, but as soon as Cheng Wan enters the kitchen, her temperament blends well with the smoky atmosphere of the kitchen.

The reason for this is that Gu Yan's temperament accounts for the most part, but the psychological effects of Old Lady Lin and others also account for a considerable proportion.

Old Mrs. Lin sat next to Cheng Wan and looked up and down at Gu Yan, who was chatting with Cheng Daniu and the others, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes becoming more and more intense.

"Sister-in-law, is this Mr. Gu really our son-in-law? He is so handsome!" Xiao Lin poked Wang's arm and said excitedly in a low voice.

Wang felt like a mother-in-law who was becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. She smiled and whispered to Xiaolin, "Not yet. It's still a long way to go before we can hold a wedding for him and Ah Wan."

After saying that, Wang stood up, picked up the soup pot that was warming on the stove, walked to Gu Yan, and said in a gentle voice: "Come, auntie will give you some more."

Gu Yan immediately stood up, bowed slightly and "grabbed" the soup pot from Wang's hand, and said in a low voice, "How can I trouble you? I can do it myself."

The smile on Wang's face deepened. She did not argue with Gu Yan. She watched Gu Yan fill up his own cup and then respectfully fill up the cups of the elders present. Wang was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

This son-in-law seems to be really good at the moment.

"Master, can you please bring over the gifts you brought for the old lady and the others now?"
