Chapter 16 Overnight
The adults smiled instantly.

"Thank you," Gu Beiqing whispered.

"Sister, you've never served me food before. Do you dislike Second Brother?" Although we haven't been together for a long time, An Zhiyan unilaterally regards Gu Beiqing as a friend. Cai immediately became unhappy.

An Zhinan had no choice but to pick up a chopstick of vegetables for someone who was jealous, and then coaxed him back.

"Hey, I knew my sister liked me the most," An Zhiyan said while eating the green vegetables that his sister had picked up with satisfaction, and still smiled triumphantly at Gu Beiqing.

Just when An Zhinan sat down, he immediately felt an unfriendly gaze. Following his feeling, he saw his elder brother looking at him quietly with his mouth pursed. Dian picked up food for his elder brother again, and smiled sweetly: "Brother, eat."

"Haha, Brother An, your children are really fun," Gu Xiangping couldn't help laughing first.

"Be honest, there are still guests here." An Chongyuan glared at the two sons first, and then said to Gu Xiangping: "I made you laugh, my two sons like to fight for favor."

"Where is it, I think this is a child. It's not like my nephew, who has an expression all day long. It's very boring. Your little daughter is cute and cute."

Gu Xiangping praised An Zhinan, and several members of the family were overjoyed, looking proud.

Gu Beiqing looked at the smiling An Zhinan enviously, and liked the atmosphere of her home very much, a feeling she had never experienced before.

"You are walking all the way, is the drought serious in other places?" Old man An couldn't help asking if the disaster in other places was as serious.

Gu Xiangping paused and nodded: "Our uncle and nephew have been traveling all the way, so the drought here is not serious, and the people in the neighboring counties are in great distress. I heard that there are many refugees from other places, and the government has resettled them in abandoned temples. , I heard that people starved to death in some places, but we haven’t seen it with our own eyes so we don’t know if it’s a rumor.”

There was an eerie silence during the meal.

Old Man An sighed heavily and said, "It's already been so serious at the beginning. After a while, it won't be that even the Ansheng Land will be gone, but I don't know how long this drought will last."

Gu Xiangping looked stern, looked at the children on the table, and was a little worried.

Gu Beiqing knew the seriousness of the drought in the mouths of the adults, and her eyes fell on the innocent and lovely An Zhinan. She only hoped that this little girl could grow up safely.

After eating, Gu Xiangping was about to leave with his nephew, and he stood up and clasped his fists at Old Man An: "Uncle An, thank you for your hospitality today, our uncle and nephew should continue to set off, see you by fate."

The old man An looked at the weather outside, he could still feel the hot air even in the main room, then he looked at his family and he still asked to stay: "The weather at this point is too hot, you can bear it as an adult, but Beiqing You are still young, if you get heat stroke again on the way, how about you stay at my house for a night, and the weather will not be so hot tomorrow morning, and you can sleep peacefully, what do you think?"

Gu Xiangping's face was full of disbelief, as if he thought he heard it wrong.

In the face of disasters, there are still people who are willing to share water, clothes, and even food, and finally are willing to share a safe place for the night.

This is no longer a kind person, this is simply a great kindness!
Gu Xiangping was glad that he chose to come here to ask for water, otherwise the uncle and nephew would probably die of thirst on the way home.

In just a few hours, Gu Xiangping had a general understanding of this family. This family is harmonious and warm, and the temperaments of the adults are easy to get along with. people.

Gu Xiangping clasped his fists at old man An, and bent slightly: "The old man is right, it is really inconvenient to travel now, I think it is too simple, so I have to trouble a few more people."

Old Man An waved his hands with a smile on his face: "Let's call me Uncle An. I really don't dare to be called an old gentleman. It is not easy for everyone in the face of disasters. If you can help, you should help. It is the right to do good deeds."

Old man an looked at the old woman and winked after finishing speaking.

Mrs. An nodded immediately, with a slight smile on her face: "Fortunately, there is a vacant room at home, and Jing Rong and I will go and tidy it up."

After talking, Mrs. An took her daughter-in-law to clean up the house.

An Zhinan fell asleep in his father's arms.

Several people were talking in the main room, when they heard An Yanshu's exclamation from his room, An Chongyuan instantly got up to look.

"Chongyuan, go and have a look, nothing happened," old man An worried about his grandson, hurriedly urged his son.

"Hey, I'll go right away, Brother Gu, sit down for a while," An Chongyuan put his daughter gently in his father's arms, and strode towards his son's room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his son holding a piece of paper and was stunned. After looking around the room, he was relieved: "What's your name? What's wrong?"

An Yanshu pointed to the content on the paper and said, "Father, someone wrote the answer and marked it on my paper."

"Who is there? I think it was written by your brother. It's fine."

"No, no, it's definitely not the second brother. His handwriting is not that good, and he doesn't have the brains to write these things," An Yanshu knew his younger brother too well, and directly denied it.

An Chongyuan couldn't even read a few words, so he didn't understand why his son was so surprised. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he turned around and went out. There are guests at home, so it's not easy to hang around.

In the room, An Yanshu held the paper and thought about it. After a while, he suddenly thought of something. He went out to the main room, walked directly to Gu Beiqing who was sitting quietly, held the paper in his hand and asked, "Did you write the words on it?" ?”

Everyone in the room looked at the two children at the same time.

Gu Beiqing took a look and nodded: "Well, I wrote it."

An Yanshu was a little excited immediately, his hands trembling and said: "Then, then I still have some questions, can I ask you for advice?"

"Yes," Gu Beiqing did not reject An Yanshu, thinking of the An family's sincere consideration for him and his second uncle.

"Then let's go to my room," An Yanshu said as he turned to look at the adults, "Grandpa, Dad, Uncle Gu, Beiqing and I are back in our room."

Old man An probably guessed something, and nodded with a smile: "Go, go, study hard with Beiqing."

Gu Xiangping looked at his nephew's back thoughtfully.

Old man An looked at Gu Xiangping, smiled and said, "I didn't expect Beiqing to be so knowledgeable."

"No way, that kid was studied hard by his father early on. He doesn't look like a five-year-old child at all. The teacher at home is very knowledgeable. This kid just learned a little superficially, but he is better than the ones taught in the school outside." knowledge earlier."

Old man An was a little surprised when he heard the words. Hearing Gu Xiangping's words, his family was well-off. Generally, only high-ranking officials and nobles can invite their husbands to teach at home. It seems that the family background of these two uncles and nephews is very unusual.
