Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua discussed the franchise store and returned to the forest farm the next day, while Na Cunhua continued to live in the city with her children.
It's summer vacation anyway, and the kids can stay in the city as long as they want.
Wang Gang owns three apartments, one of which is a facade apartment. He and Chen Xingjie live in the original apartment, while Na Cunhua and her three children live in the other apartment. It is convenient no matter what.
When he first bought a house, he took into account the large number of people in his family, so he bought the house very close to each other to make it easier to move around.
That Chunhua had 10,000 yuan in her hands, which she had managed to save over the years, as well as the reward for helping Wang Gang collect mountain goods.
She originally thought that the money would be enough to open a franchise store, but she searched around the city and gave up because the prices were too high.
In the end, Wang Gang couldn't stand it any longer, so he went to the landlord to negotiate, secretly paying a thousand yuan a month, and then Chunhua rented the shop.
Now there are three Gu's braised food restaurants in Bianhe. Wang Gang opened them in the south, east and north of the city, deliberately leaving a market in the west of the city for them to store flowers.
From now on, Wang Gang focused on product manufacturing and transportation, so he specially spent money to buy a small truck.
He had already planned to open only four braised meat shops in Bianhe, and when his reputation grew, he would slowly expand franchise stores to surrounding cities with Bianhe as the center.
When it comes to doing business, he is quite familiar with it and cannot make any losses at all.
Chen Xingjie's college entrance examination results came out half a month later. He scored 674 points, which was far higher than the admission score of the University of China and Saudi Arabia he wanted to attend.
He immediately called back to the forest farm to tell Gu Changshan the good news.
What Gu Changshan meant was that Chen Xingjie should go back to the forest farm and he would treat the villagers to a meal.
When Chen Xingjie had the surgery, people in the village paid more or less money, so he took advantage of this opportunity to get into college to express his gratitude.
Chen Xingjie thought about it, readily agreed, and went to personally invite Director Lin.
Director Lin rejected Chen Xingjie because of his busy work schedule, but he still expressed his congratulations and gave him a red envelope.
Lin Xiaoqing really wanted to go to the forest farm to play again, but she will take the college entrance examination next year and have to make up for classes during the summer vacation. She has no time at all, so she can only ask Wang Gang to take more photos for her to see.
Wang Gang specially drove his newly purchased minivan to take his whole family back to the forest farm, which was considered a homecoming in fine clothes.
Gu Changshan had been waiting at the end of the village for a long time. When he saw his son's car, he immediately came up to meet it.
Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun also heard the news and ran out to see Wang Gang's new car.
"Zhaocheng is getting more and more capable, and he can even drive a car." Liang Fukuan saw the Gu family getting better and better, and couldn't help but envy: "Why don't you think Fengxia looks down on Gu Zhaocheng?"
Ma Xiaoyun kicked Liang Fukuan and cursed: "Okay! Don't mention this matter in the future. Our two daughters will have to rely on the Gu family in the future."
Liang Fukuan rolled his eyes and said cowardly: "Tell me, can that girl Feng Qin marry Gu Zhaoxi in the future?"
"How old is Feng Qin? You're just thinking about this kind of thing." Ma Xiaoyun said angrily.
Liang Fukuan curled his lips and said, "I think about it, I can't do it!"
Wang Gang drove back and immediately became the focus of the whole village, giving Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua a lot of face.
Many neighbors praised the two when they saw them.
"Captain Gu, Aunt Cunhua, how are you so good at raising children? One went to the city and made a fortune, and the other was admitted to a key university and has a bright future."
"Why are all the good things taken away by your Gu family?"
Listening to the envious and jealous words around him, Gu Changshan looked humble on the surface, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.
Cun Hua even stopped pretending, and her smile never stopped.
"It's all the children's own efforts, and we didn't do anything!"
"Chen Xingjie's surname is not Gu. You raised a college student's son for nothing after a year. You've made a lot of money!" A sour voice made the Gu family's faces change.
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Xingjie couldn't help but look into the crowd, and immediately saw a person who was thinking about him day and night.
"mom!"
The speaker was none other than Chen Xingjie’s biological mother, Huang Xiaoping.
When Chen Xingjie's father went logging in the mountains and died accidentally, Huang Xiaoping finished the funeral and received the compensation, immediately abandoned her son and got on the train to Guangshen, leaving for more than a year.
Chen Xingjie chose Zhongsha University in Guangzhou and Shenzhen because he wanted to reunite with his mother.
Now that mother and son are reunited, they are naturally very happy.
"Mom, when did you come back? Why didn't you call and tell me?" Chen Xingjie pulled Huang Xiaoping and asked.
"I just came back this morning."
Huang Xiaoping was dressed in fancy clothes and had sunglasses on her head. She looked completely different from when she left.
Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua were a little awkward at this time. When Chen Xingjie's biological mother came back, their status as godfather and godmother became a bit awkward.
Fortunately, they raised Chen Xingjie out of good intentions and did not want him to repay him. The two of them quickly adjusted their mentality.
"Xingjie's mother, just come back. We also plan to tell you the good news that Xingjie was admitted to college!" Gu Changshan took the initiative to walk over and said to Huang Xiaoping.
"I came back this time just to ask about Xingjie's college entrance examination results." Huang Xiaoping's lukewarm attitude made Wang Gang unhappy.
"Xingjie is the first college student from our forest farm to pass the exam. I'm going to cook a meal at home and invite people from the village over to eat." Na Cunhua said with a smile.
Huang Xiaoping said coldly: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Wang Gang frowned slightly, feeling that Huang Xiaoping was coming here with bad intentions.
"Let's go home first and then talk!" Gu Changshan glanced at Huang Xiaoping's duffel bag and said to Chen Xingjie:
"Xingjie, help your mother get the bag."
Chen Xingjie smiled and bent down, put on his bag, and then led Huang Xiaoping back home.
Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the villagers all went home, but many people pointed at Huang Xiaoping's dress.
Several people walked towards Gu's house. Halfway through, Huang Xiaoping said doubtfully:
"Why don't you go back to our own home? Our house is occupied?"
Chen Xingjie explained: "Mom, didn't I tell you on the phone before? I burned the stove and accidentally burned down the house. Now I can't live in it."
Huang Xiaoping said angrily: "Didn't the Gu family help you repair the house?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Xingjie glanced at Gu Changshan awkwardly and said to Huang Xiaoping: "Why did my godfather build a house for our family?"
Huang Xiaoping snorted coldly: "You are so skilled at calling me godfather."
The Gu family all stopped.
"Mom." Chen Xingjie called.
Huang Xiaoping's face straightened up and she said to Chen Xingjie: "I want to go back to the old house to have a look."
Chen Xingjie looked at Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua in embarrassment.
"Xingjie, you can take your mother back to see her, she will always be your root." Gu Changshan forced a smile.
"Thank you, godfather." Chen Xingjie felt relieved and hurriedly led his mother home to prevent her from making any surprises again.
After the two left, Wang Gang said to Gu Changshan: "Dad, where will Xingjie's biological mother stay at night when she comes back?"
The Gu family only has one room, and everyone sleeps on the same kang, with a curtain at most.
Huang Xiaoping will definitely have no place to sleep when she comes here.
"How about I go find Ma Xiaoyun, she should be able to squeeze someone in," Na Cunhua said.
"Let's talk about it later!" Gu Changshan said with waning interest: "If it doesn't work out, I'll take Zhaocheng to the forest farm to deal with it all night."
"Dad, you have to be prepared. I think Huang Xiaoping must have a purpose when she comes back this time." Wang Gang reminded.
Na Cunhua snorted coldly: "She must have known that Xingjie was admitted to university and would be promising, so she hurried back to find her son."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be that simple. I think Huang Xiaoping came to our house."
Gu Changshan sighed quietly and said: "Forget it, don't think about it. We walk and sit upright, there is nothing to fear."
After saying that, Gu Changshan called the three children home and told Na Cunhua to cook more dishes for Huang Xiaoping in the evening.
On the other side, Huang Xiaoping and her son returned home and saw the ruins and couldn't help feeling sad.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't protect the house well." Chen Xingjie saw his mother crying and said guiltily.??
"Alas!" Huang Xiaoping sighed deeply and said, "This is all fate."
Chen Xingjie said seriously: "Mom, when you come back this time, are you still leaving?"
"I'll be leaving in a few days." Huang Xiaoping wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "You come with me!"
"I want to stay for a while longer to help my godfather finish the housework before going to school," Chen Xingjie said.
Huang Xiaoping's face suddenly sank.
"You really think of yourself as the son of the Gu family!"
Chen Xingjie was startled and said quickly: "Mom, you don't know, after you left, my godfather and godmother were very good to me and treated me like my own son.
Without them, I might not have been able to get into college."
Huang Xiaoping snorted coldly: "That's what they owe our family. Don't forget, if it weren't for Gu Changshan, your father wouldn't have died!"
"Mom, why do you think so?" Chen Xingjie said in surprise: "My father was accidentally hit by a tree because he was saving his apprentice. What does it have to do with my godfather?"
