Chapter 245 Wushu Village
Therefore, he firmly believed that Gu Yu and the others would definitely come as promised, and said, "Alas, do you still worry about my work? I told you that the noble people would definitely come! Why don't you believe it!"

When the villagers saw how determined Mr. Li was, they secretly laughed at him for being so old that he would actually believe those nobles who were just passing by and stopping at the port of Fucheng.

Instead of believing in those unrealistic and unrealistic things that will happen, it is better to go to the town or city to look for opportunities, talk to those merchants, and see if it is possible to sell the cotton that has been stored at home for a long time.

The villagers shook their heads and said goodbye to Old Man Li and went to their own fields.

The old woman of the Li family came to the old man Li and asked worriedly: "Old man, will the noble person you mentioned really come?"

"He will definitely come!" Old man Li said as he had just said to the villagers.

On the other side, Gu Yu and his group were heading towards Wushu Village. However, as they were not familiar with the road, they went too far.

Fortunately, we met a mother and daughter passing by on the way. After asking them, we finally found the right direction and walked towards Wushu Village.

Old man Li saw a carriage from afar and was very excited. He straightened his clothes and trotted forward to check, wanting to confirm whether the people coming were Gu Yu and the others.

When he saw the man sitting in the carriage, he shouted in surprise: "My dear, you are here at last!"

Han Jing sat at the front of the car, checking the road conditions with the coachman, and saw old man Li standing in front. He greeted him, "How are you, old man?" and then said, "We came here this time because we wanted to visit your fields. The owner and his family hope to go to the fields first to see the maturity of the cotton. Please lead the way."

Old man Li originally wanted to invite Gu Yu and others to his home to rest for a while and taste the simple meals he prepared.

He said enthusiastically, "My dear, although my home is simple, we have some tea and food. You have come all the way from the city, and you must be a little tired. Why don't you come to my home to rest for a while, and then my eldest son will lead you to the fields to check."

Han Jing couldn't decide to go to Li's house, so he opened the door and whispered a few words into the carriage. Then he turned around, saluted Old Man Li, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, old man."

"It's no trouble, no trouble. It's our honor that you, the distinguished guests, have taken the trouble to come to our Wushu Village and visit us at our home." Mr. Li responded politely.

Then Han Jing invited Old Man Li to get on the carriage and lead the way for them.

Old man Li was in high spirits. He got into the carriage with his head held high and started chatting happily with Han Jing.

When he learned that Gu Yu and his companions had taken a boat from the capital to their capital, he felt a little more awe in his heart.

After receiving the notification from Old Lady Li, the children and grandchildren of the Li family all stood at the door, eagerly waiting for Gu Yu and the others to arrive.

When he saw his old father on the first carriage, the eldest son of the Li family couldn't help but shout out excitedly: "It's Dad! It's Dad who is back with the nobles!"

Last night, when Old Man Li returned home, he heard that a distinguished guest would be visiting today, and he was asked to catch an old hen and slaughter it to entertain the guest.

An old hen lays an egg every day, which can be sold to supplement the family income; or kept for personal consumption to add to a dish at home, or given to the elderly and children to nourish the body.

He really couldn't bear to kill the old hen.

However, the parents were the ones who made the decisions at home, so how could he, as a son, go against his father? Although he was unhappy, he could only accept the fact silently when the chicken was killed in the morning.

Seeing the carriage approaching, he suddenly became happy and even began to sigh at his father's good luck. Yesterday, his father carried a bag of new cotton into the city. He wanted to see if he could meet a big customer to purchase the remaining goods. Unexpectedly, he actually met a rich man as his father wished.

The carriage that Gu Yu and her friends were riding in slowly stopped in front of the Li family's gate. As soon as Gu Yu got off the carriage, the eldest son of the Li family greeted her with a smile on his face, flattering and attentive, and said, "I am Li Shitou, a humble person, nice to meet you, my dear lord!"

As soon as Gu Yu got off the carriage, she was startled by the overly enthusiastic people in front of her. She was usually bold and reckless, but she couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, but she quickly came to her senses and responded politely: "I'm Gu Yu, nice to meet you."

Li Shitou never expected that the noble person who came this time was so young.

He had been thinking about chatting with the distinguished man and getting closer to him, but before he could say a few words, he saw a graceful and elegant man getting out of the car.

Soon after, three more children who looked very similar to the couple were carried down from the carriage by servants.

Li Shitou was a man of meticulous mind and quick thinking. He guessed almost immediately that the three children must be the children of two nobles.

However, when he saw Gu Wu and others getting off the two carriages behind him, he couldn't help but feel worried: there was only one old hen killed at home, how could it be enough to feed so many people?

If there is really no other choice, they can only let their own family suffer and give the chicken to those nobles who gave them money!
After all, we can't neglect you...

For nine generations, the Gu family has been farmers working hard in the fields, facing the loess and with their backs to the sky.

When the group arrived at Wushu Village, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation.

Walking into the Li family's yard and looking at the house layout that was similar to their own home, several people felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in their hearts.

By the time they had enough wine and food at the Li family, Gu Wu had already started to treat Old Man Li as a brother, and said generously: "Brother Li! It's a pity that we two brothers don't live in the same city, otherwise, I really want to invite you to chat with me on weekdays!"

Old man Li didn't expect that the Gu family's family background was the same as his own. Looking at himself, he still could only work hard in the fields every day.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little sad: we are all living in this world, but our destinies are so different. People are really incomparable!
This feeling only lasted for a moment. Old man Li knew that to change the family, he must have the corresponding strength.

Otherwise, even if you enter the area of ​​noble people, you will only become an object for others to absorb nutrients.

So he said in his heart, "Brother Wu! Don't say that. Although we are not from the same city, since we have met by chance, we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

"Yes, yes, brother, you are absolutely right! It is fate that we can meet here today! I believe that we will have the chance to meet again in the future." Although Gu Wu said this, he knew it better than anyone else.

Now I am quite old and my health is not as good as before. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to travel around with my family like I do now.

It is a very rare experience to be able to come to Wushu Village with my family this time.

After this farewell, I am afraid I will never have the chance to see Old Man Li again in this life. After all, life is unpredictable and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

However, Gu Wu did not allow himself to indulge in this sentimentality for too long.
