Chapter 355: Chapter 356: Growing Fondness

Song Wennuan was laughing quietly to herself, turning to glance at Helian Qiao and whispering, "Guibao, do you want me to carry you?"

Helian Qiao didn’t hesitate, "No, I’m capable!"

Her words were full of spirit in her cute, childish voice. You could tell she was full of vigor.

Gu Tingyun nodded, agreeing, "Guibao is the strongest."

Overhearing her brother praise this chubby girl’s strength, Gu Siyu started to squirm, wanting to walk by herself. Her mother promptly smacked her on the bottom and she quickly settled down.

Walking behind them with his hands behind his back, the elder patriarch watched Helian Qiao’s lively figure, growing more and more fond of her.

Although girls being delicate is not a problem, he favored strong, independent women, much like his late wife.

Halfway through the journey, Helian Qiao spotted some raspberries in a small bush by the road. She scampered towards them, picking them with her pudgy little hands.

Seeing that her little hands were getting full, Gu Tingyun unfolded a handkerchief, "Guibao, put them in here."

She happily continued her search for raspberries until the handkerchief was full.

As the group reached the outskirts of the village, the villagers who were working nearby greeted them, "Guibao, heading to the town with Tingyun again?"

The commune knew well that Guibao got along with Gu family’s boy, often going to the town together. It was no longer a surprise to anyone.

This time, however, there were a few more people following them. Their exceptional clothing and demeanour attracted curious glances.

Who were these people?

The presence of the elderly man in particular was impressive, even more than the leaders who had visited from the town.

Could they be inspectors from the city?!

Helian Qiao responded like a little adult, lifting her chin with an air of authority, "Not playing. We’re fetching Grandpa Gu."

She wasn’t just a kiddo who only thinks about playing all day.

On hearing the name ’Gu,’ the locals deduced that they must be relatives of Gu Tingyun. After all, it’s unlikely to find such elegant relatives in their countryside.

And just one look at them confirmed they were city folks with much better living conditions, even the little kid was as adorable as jade and snow.

They didn’t dare to strike a conversation, instead keeping a sincere smile on their faces as they busily worked on their tasks.

"Folks, y’all throwing potato chunks now?"

The elder patriarch walked up, standing by the road, and kindly asked, "How was the harvest last year? With the current government policies, it should be pretty good, right?"

His eyes gleamed with fondness and nostalgia, thinking back to his own childhood days in the countryside.

Seeing his friendly demeanour, the villagers gradually warmed up and began chatting with him, "Last autumn, when it was time for harvest, a swarm of locusts came. There were so many of them that the sky turned dark. It was quite heartbreaking!"

On hearing this, the elder patriarch knew the seriousness of locusts. They can cause a food shortage, and in severe cases, people even have to sell their children for food.

But it didn’t seem like it was reported to the higher authorities, so the damage must not have been severe.

Sure enough, the next moment, the villagers continued, "Everyone started to harvest as quickly as possible. Thankfully, with God’s grace, the locusts were eliminated in our commune and the two nearby ones, sparing us from disaster. Other communes weren’t so lucky. Still, the rice grew well last year, and even the most severely affected communes had enough to eat!"
