Chapter 473: Chapter 474: Looking for you for a Good Thing

"Sure!" The Chen family members agreed readily.

Another chance to enjoy a good meal!

They still remember the feast Master Gu treated them to; it was more lavish than their New Year’s meal.

Even with full bellies, just thinking about the plentiful meat dishes made them involuntarily swallow their saliva.

Ma Xiulian was not partial to meat, but she couldn’t help asking out of curiosity, "How old is Qingshan today?"

Jiang Manyun answered softly, "He’s forty."

Hearing this, the members of the Chen family were stunned, disbelieving as they looked at the handsome Gu Qingshan, sitting on the chair with his back straight, "Factory Manager Gu is actually forty?! We would never have guessed!"

They had always thought he was just over thirty; they had not expected him to be even older than their eldest, Chen Jianguo!

Because Gu Qingshan looked incredibly young, tall and upright, handsome and energetic, he appeared far superior to the men in the entire commune, and even the entire town.

Helian Qiao seemed quite unperturbed by this. What was there to be surprised about!

In the Six Realms, due to the increase in cultivation levels, many races cease aging after reaching adulthood, and retain the appearance of youth for their entire lives.

"Does Tingyun have any brothers or sisters?" Zhou Zhaodi asked hesitantly, afraid that she might inadvertently touch a sensitive topic for them.

After all, Gu Qingshan was already forty and Gu Tingyun was only two years older than Guibao. They hadn’t heard them mention any other children before, so they were inevitably making some unpleasant guesses.

Jiang Manyun shook her head, smiling as she explained, "No, Qingshan used to be constantly out on missions before, sometimes not coming home for a year or two. Tingyun is a late child. If Qingshan hadn’t injured his right eye on his last mission and was unable to continue, he wouldn’t have retired and come home."

Gu Qingshan’s body was covered with horrific scars, and he had internal injuries as well. Even though he was not very old now, when he reached the age of an old man, it was estimated that his health would not be much better than that of an old man.

Of course, these things did not need to be explained to outsiders.

However, over the past year, those scars seemed to have faded a bit. She wondered if it was just her imagination.

Whenever she asked this question, Gu Tingyun would remain silent, not saying that he was aware of his father’s internal injuries, so every time he would ask the little hamster to bring back a small goldfish for his parents to eat.

The men continued to sit and chat, while the womenfolk helped clean up the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.

Erbao was worried about Dabai: "Guibao, when will Dabai be home?"

Helian Jiao shook her head, innocently replied, "I don’t know."

She was no longer planning to eat her plump pet, so naturally, she wouldn’t restrict it.

Chen Erbao took a stool and sat at the door, looking out eagerly in anticipation.

In the end, Dabai didn’t return even after the kitchen was cleaned. He had no choice but to head home crestfallen.

The next day at noon, while the people of Old Chen’s family were cooking, Old Lady Li came to the door.

As soon as Li Chunhua saw her, she felt a pinch, and hurriedly said, "Mom, we haven’t gotten much meat this year, there’s really isn’t any left!"

Her mother must’ve heard that the commune distributed pork a few days ago, that’s why she’s here to visit again.

If she took it away, Jinbao and Xiaobao’s would have nothing to eat.

Even though to guard against Old Lady Li, she had asked Zhao Mei to hide a good deal of the meat beforehand, Chunhua would still like to prevent her from taking any of the meat.

The members of the other rooms in Old Chen’s family didn’t think much of Old Lady Li either. They each continued with their own chores without greeting her.

To their surprise, Old Lady Li, contrary to her usual behavior, said with a beaming smile, "Chunhua, I’m not here to ask for pork this time. I have good news for you! Let’s go indoors and discuss it quietly."
