This is what she overheard. Uncle Gu discovered her, but he didn't blame her.
Just patted her head with a smile.
"Uncle Gu, don't die, how pitiful Leizi is if you die."
At that time, she didn't know what death was, but only knew that it was a bad word. In the past, the word death was not allowed at home, which was bad luck.
Uncle Gu just hugged her, with a clear smile, less happy.
Uncle Gu is handsome and handsome, even better-looking than his father, but he always has a very melancholy temperament, indescribably sad and elegant, as if he is going to blow away with the wind.
"Yu'er is a good girl, uncle, please do me a favor."
"Okay, tell me, I promise to do it for you."
Li Yu happily raised his head.
"Help me take care of Leizi, urge him to study hard, don't be lazy, don't be bad, you two will be a companion, Brother Lei is sometimes self-willed, please help me persuade him."
"Okay, Uncle Gu, are you going on a long trip?"
"Uncle Gu is going to guard Xishan Daying. He is often away from home, so he can't keep an eye on Brother Lei. Let your father teach him."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Leizi, don't worry, I have a lot of older brothers, so I definitely can't let him learn astray."
"Yu'er is such a good girl."
When I was a child, I liked Uncle Gu very much. He was gentle and kind, he was beautiful, and he could play the beautiful guqin. At that time, I thought that Uncle Gu should be a fairy in the sky.
Gu Lei hugged her waist in silence, secretly wiped away tears, sat up and turned his face away without saying a word.
Li Yu got up and poured a cup of warm tea for him.
Gu Lei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, covering up the ups and downs of emotions, and regained his composure, but his eyes were slightly red.
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, if there is anything missing at home, I will buy it."
Li Yu chuckled, "There are still four or five days to celebrate the New Year, so there is no time to buy things now."
Gu Lei pursed his lips and glanced at her, then turned around to show his temper.
Li Yu tugged on his sleeve and was thrown away.
"Hehehe! I've coaxed you for a long time, don't be angry. Everything in the house is complete, but you go to the orphan's and widow's house to go around and find out what needs to be done. When you go, get some gifts, which are more affordable. Order meat sausages, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and walk around from house to house, so as not to leave anyone behind."
"Understood, you don't love me anymore."
Gu Lei snorted.
"I still don't love you. I worry about you all day long. Let people know that it's time to laugh at me. Before I marry into your family, I will raise property for you. I can't wait."
"You are all from my family. Don't worry about me, don't you hurt me? It's none of other people's business. You're really meddling in your business. You're eating too much shit."
Gu Lei raised his eyebrows, displeased.
Li Yu pinched his face, "Be good, don't ask grandpa about your father."
"I'm not stupid, how could I dig his heart. I just feel uncomfortable when I think about it. In fact, I didn't realize it when I came to Qi. Instead, I always think of my father and third uncle when I take care of the family affairs later."
Li Yu sighed, he reacted a step slower, because he couldn't accept the reality, a series of things came crashing down, he didn't think so much when he was busy, and when he became more and more stable, he only thought of his father, and it became more and more painful.
"It's not enough to avoid it all the time, you have to face what you should face."
"Do you still remember that I always dreamed when I was fleeing?"
"Did you dream about them?"
Gu Lei raised his head and smiled at her, he understood her.
Li Yu nodded, "I dreamed that they were laughing and playing. I also dreamed of the two Uncle Gu asking me to take care of you and Brother Xin. Uncle Gu said he was sorry for his wife and would always wait for her."
"Second uncle and second aunt laugh very happily..."
"Really, I can't dream."
"I also saw a woman next to Uncle Gu. She is very beautiful and unique. I don't know him."
"Is there a tear mole under the corner of the eye, a very small one."
"Do you know each other?"
Li Yu's dream was never mentioned to anyone, even her mother didn't know about it.
Gu Lei sighed, "That was my father's former fiancée, the woman he loved most in his life, because the late emperor forcibly broke them up, and she died in depression after I was one year old."
"Hey! Uncle Gu somehow got the reputation of being a heartless person."
"He is also very sad. As far as the family is concerned, he is the eldest son. He cannot be allowed to sink into marriage, and he is not allowed to keep chastity for any woman. He must have descendants. He is destined to be sorry to his lover."
"Have you seen her?"
"I haven't seen her in person either. She passed away due to illness when I was one year old. There is a portrait of her in my father's study. with that painting."
Gu Lei sighed deeply, making fun of others.
"Three poor souls."
"Who says no, my father, her, and my mother are all poor people."
"Forget it, it's all over, and now they are together."
"My mother inadvertently mentioned my father that day, and said that she changed her mind and didn't want to be buried with my father, but just be buried next to him. Presumably it was because of her."
"Actually, joint burials are also appropriate."
"It depends on my mother's will, I will let her."
Gu Lei didn't force it, just follow his mother's wishes.
Li Yu didn't know how to persuade him properly, some pains took time to resolve.
"By the way, I went to collect the money and came back, you take it."
Gu Lei took out a few bank notes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Li Yu.
Before he got married, he handed over all his private money and family business to Li Yu, and he only kept some pocket money.
"Okay, I'm thinking about going to the south of the Yangtze River to buy some woodland Zhuangzi. The south is close to the sea, and it's relatively stable."
"I can't take care of it now. After we get married, we will slowly toss about it."
"Okay, I'm thinking about the other side of the capital. I don't know how the industry in the capital is going. Can I send someone to inquire about it?"
"This will not work, wait, I will discuss it with my uncle when I have a chance."
"There are a few things to do next year, a few workshops, a family with a lot of people needs to eat, drink and spend, and a family with a lot of refugees needs manpower, which just fits in well. Help me think about this."
"I got it."
While talking, Mrs. Wang came in.
"Auntie, I went to Wang's house to visit Brother Xu yesterday. The old man said he wanted to drink the wine made by Yu'er, and asked about our winery going to the south to open a workshop."
"Oh, I'll go and talk to him in person later."
"OK."
"Mother, just now Leizi said that the girl from the Gu family was not taken out, so I would like to ask you to help me."
"Your uncle and grandma told me that I will take it out after the year. If you don't go out for a few days, it will be the New Year. I will take it out after the next year."
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.
"Marry my sister-in-law in the new year, what else do you need, I will run errands for you."
"Everything else is almost done. You go to Xie's house for a run, and ask Xie's house for any shortcomings. Your elder brother should go, but I can't find anyone because he is so busy."
"I'll run errands for you. I'm better than him. Auntie, my sixth brother is also old."
"It's the age, it's time to say kiss."
