The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Chapter 76 Returning to the old house
Gu Minzheng looked at the four pairs of eyes looking at him and nodded.

Instantly, smiles appeared in all four pairs of eyes, and then the children gradually let go. Xu Jingyi took whatever she liked. When they were waiting for the checkout, several people actually bought three shopping carts.

On the way back, the car was filled with laughter and laughter. Xu Jingyi got along particularly harmoniously with the children, and was even more excited than them. The smile on Gu Minzheng's face never fell.

When the five of them arrived home, Xu Jingyi's smile still did not stop.

"Then let me help you sort out all the things you bought."

Looking at Aunt Liu who couldn't stop for a moment, Xu Jingyi quickly stopped:
"It's okay, Aunt Liu, we can just sort these things out. You sit on the sofa and rest for a while. If someone doesn't understand something, they'll ask you later."

Hearing this, Aunt Liu looked at the family of five and nodded. She sat on the sofa and watched Xu Jingyi instruct Gu Minzheng to take out all the things he bought.

"Be careful. Xiaoxiao will write blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets later. What to do if they get damaged? She also needs to take out the paper cuttings. I will cut the window grilles with the children later."

Gu Minzheng looked at the man who commanded him so unceremoniously, and took a deep look at the woman. Xu Jingyi felt guilty and said in a false voice, "What's wrong? I just asked you to get something. Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Dad, there are also lanterns I bought. Please help Mo Mo take them out too."

"I owe it to you." As he said this, he worked hard and put things in place as requested by everyone.

Aunt Liu looked at the laughter in the living room, turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Xu Jingyi and Gu Minzheng looked at Aunt Liu and looked at each other. Xu Jingyi smiled and said:
"Aunt Liu, come on. Gu Xiao wrote the word "Fu" and said that one will be posted on the door of each room in a while. Come and get one too. By the way, do you know how to cut the window grilles? I have forgotten how to cut the ones I learned. ”

"Come here, ma'am, I'll teach you."

Aunt Liu wiped her tears and walked towards a few people as she spoke. She walked up to them, looked at Gu Xiaofu's calligraphy, and praised her even more: "Second Young Master is such a good calligrapher. I'm so blessed, old lady."

Gu Minzheng silently held Xu Jingyi's hand, his eyes deep: "Thank you."

When Xu Jingyi heard this, her heart suddenly softened.

"We are a family and we don't need to say thank you."

After a while, Gu Minzheng's voice came again: "Yes, the family does not need to thank you."

Aunt Liu took a few people to cut a lot of window grilles. Finally, everyone divided the work and cooperated. The villa in the nursing home changed from the deserted atmosphere of previous years, and there was a New Year atmosphere everywhere.

Xu Jingyi didn't wake up until noon the next day. She looked at the person lying next to her and kicked the man with her foot.

I don't know what made this man crazy yesterday. He kept pulling her and asking for mercy. No matter how she begged for mercy, it was useless. The more Xu Jingyi thought about it, the angrier she became. When she raised her foot to add another kick, the man grabbed her ankle.

"Still want to kick me?"

"Yes, you didn't know you were going back to the old house today, and you pulled me into mischief last night, huh." Xu Jingyi said angrily.

Knowing that this was irritating the person, the man reached out and pulled the person into his arms: "Don't worry, I used to go there in the afternoon, stay with me and lie down for a while."

Pushing the man in front of her away, Xu Jingyi climbed out of the bed neatly: "You can sleep on your own."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the driver arrived at the old house with a family of five.

Ever since entering the old house, Xu Jingyi couldn't see clearly. The Gu family's old house is in the suburbs, located on the hillside, and covers a huge area.Of course, the entire mountain belongs to the Gu family. This old house is said to be hundreds of years old. Each generation of Gu family leaders will repair the old house and the old house is well preserved.

The ancient Soviet-style garden architecture has been preserved. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is separate and interconnected.

The yard alone is estimated to be more than ten acres. It would take an hour to walk from the entrance to the main house where the old lady lives. Fortunately, they took a car.

When they arrived at the door of the main house, Aunt Qin, who was waiting for the old lady, saw the car and came out to welcome it.

Seeing Gu Minzheng and the others, their faces were full of smiles: "Young master and young masters are all tired. Come in quickly. The old lady has been waiting for you to come."

After saying hello to a few people, it seemed that she saw Xu Jingyi standing next to Gu Minzheng. The smile on her face faded and she said politely: "This is the young lady. Happy New Year to the young lady."

"happy New Year."

Noticing that the hand holding her arm tightened, Xu Jingyi raised her head and glanced at the man. Knowing that the man was trying to comfort her, Xu Jingyi smiled at him, raised her hand and patted his hand gently to express that she was fine.

Several people entered the house, and the aunt inside took out the slippers that had been prepared for them, and led them to the main hall. On the way, Gu Minzheng specially explained to Xu Jingyi: "Aunt Qin is not targeting you, it may be the first time we meet. If you are not familiar with you, you won’t be anymore. She has been with the old lady since she was a child, and she was brought here from her parents’ home.”

"I understand, it's okay, I didn't take it seriously." After listening to Gu Minzheng's words, Xu Jingyi didn't know what Gu Minzheng meant, so naturally she didn't care about it, not to mention that the other person was just unenthusiastic and it wasn't directed at herself.

After walking through the corridor, before reaching the door, they heard the sound of laughter coming from the main room. When they appeared at the door of the main room, the people inside had already seen them.

"Say Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here. Min Zheng, come here quickly. I just told the old lady about you."

"This is the third uncle's family. It is the third uncle who is speaking. Next to him is the third aunt. The two younger ones are cousins. Don't be nervous. I will take care of anything. Don't let yourself be wronged."

"Oh, I see."

After Gu Minzheng introduced them, he led his family into the house.

The main room is based on the central axis. A long table is placed in the middle against the wall. An Eight Immortals table is placed in front of the table. There are a Taishi chair on both sides of the table. The old lady sits on one of the Taishi chairs. In addition, the rest of the furniture is placed symmetrically. , reflecting the solemnity of the old house.

The third uncle's family is probably a little further away, and they sit a little outside.

Gu Minzheng was the first to say hello to the old lady, followed closely by Xu Jingyi, and the rest were greeted by the three children.

"Well, here you go, sit down."

The old lady is worthy of being someone who lost her husband at an early age, lost her son in middle age, and took over the entire Gu Group by herself before her two grandsons grew up, and brought the Gu Group to a new peak. Even in old age, although His hair has turned completely white, but his eyes are still bright and energetic.

Gu Minzheng sat down with his family and motioned to the aunt behind who was carrying gifts to deliver the things to the old lady.

"This is the gift Jingyi prepared for you."

The old lady looked at it, signaled her aunt to accept the gift, then took off an jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Xu Jingyi.

Xu Jingyi stood up immediately: "Grandma, this is too expensive."
