The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 35 The Savior

Gu Dechang waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang. Brother Huang, don't be busy for now. While the official is still in the office, I will go and do some business first. After the things are done, I will come back to bother Brother Huang."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Huang said: "Okay, business is important. Mr. Gu will go and do business first."

Gu Dechang leaned towards Shopkeeper Huang and said, "I'll leave Xiaoyu here, and Brother Huang will help take care of it."

Before Shopkeeper Huang could speak, Gu Huayu said first, "Dad, Xiaoyu will go out with you. Dad is going to do some business, and Xiaoyu happens to be wandering around."

Gu Dechang asked worriedly: "Is it okay for you to go shopping alone?"

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "It's done, Xiaoyu won't go far, just walk around nearby. When you get tired, go back to Uncle Huang."

Gu Dechang thought that his daughter had finally come to the county town, and it was really boring to sit around in the house, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay, but don't go too far, the county town is much bigger than the town, be careful if you get lost and can't find your way back. road."

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said playfully: "Don't worry, Dad, getting lost won't happen."

Gu Dechang stood up and said, "Okay, let's split up." After saying that, Gu Dechang raised his hands to Shopkeeper Huang and said, "Brother Huang, I'll bother you later."

Shopkeeper Huang stood up and returned the favor, saying, "Mr. Gu, you're welcome. I'll let Chun Tang follow Miss Xiaoyu."

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huang. No, no, no, Xiaoyu will just walk around."

When shopkeeper Huang saw Gu Huayu's refusal, he did not force himself and sent Gu Dechang and his daughter out.

Gu Huayu left Huang Ji's shop, walked for a short distance, looked back and asked, "Is this shopkeeper Huang an old acquaintance of my father?"

Gu Dechang turned back to look at Huang Ji's shop, nodded and said: "Yes, we have been friends for many years. Brother Huang is a good person, chivalrous and affectionate."

 Gu Huayu thought for a while, although my father was talented and learned, he had no chance of an official career. He was just a commoner, lived in a remote mountain village and was very poor.

 Shopkeeper Huang can treat his father with courtesy, which shows that he is not snobbish.

“Oh, it seems that Uncle Huang doesn’t look like a native of Shicheng.” Gu Huayu replied.

Gu Dechang nodded and said: "Well, Brother Huang is from Jiangnan. His family has been doing business for generations. Ten years ago, there was a flood in the family and the fire reduced the family business to ashes. He was forced to leave his hometown and come to Shicheng."

Gu Huayu nodded slightly and listened quietly to Gu Dechang's story.

Gu Dechang opened his conversation: "In the blink of an eye, Brother Huang and I have known each other for ten years. Back then, your mother-in-law and I took you and Brother Liang back to Shicheng from the capital. Thanks to meeting Brother Huang. Otherwise, our lives would have been lost as early as It disappeared ten years ago. Speaking of which, Brother Huang was our family’s savior.”

"Oh? What happened back then? Why didn't you hear it from your father and mother?" Gu Huayu asked, her heart tightening.

Gu Dechang looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "Alas! On our way back home, we encountered robbers on Jinghu South Road.

At that time, your mother and I thought we were dead... Fortunately, Brother Huang came to help and we were able to survive. Your mother's leg was injured at that time. "

Gu Huayu turned to look at Gu Dechang and asked, "Where's Dad's leg problem? When did it happen?"

 Gu Dechang looked down at his leg, smiled bitterly, and said, "My leg was injured in the capital. Now that we have arrived at the Yamen, Xiaoyu, just hang around nearby and don't go too far."

 Huang Ji is very close to the county government office, and he can reach the gate of the county government office in just a few words.
