Chapter 723: Chapter 720: If There Comes a Day
The old master, Gu, was sitting on a stone bench, twirling a black piece between his fingertips, seemingly with his focus on the chessboard but he listened with a smile to the bickering of the two children.
He loved watching the children make a racket - that’s what a home atmosphere should be!
Song Wennuan and Gu Qingyun also came after getting off work, standing outside the courtyard, peering in: "Is this it?"
"Dad! Mom!" Gu Siyu, hearing their voices, immediately yelled out loud.
Hearing her voice, the couple walked in. After greeting the old master, they started to look around the yard.
Though they had already heard about it from Gu Siyu, they couldn’t help but marvel when they saw it with their own eyes; the mansion was truly great.
Lu Xiaofen, upon hearing them, wiped off water stains on her hands with her apron and came to meet them: "Come in and sit down, dinner is ready!"
Song Wennuan sincerely exclaimed: "To be able to rent such a beautiful house in the Capital, you guys are really lucky!"
"We didn’t expect to rent such a good house either."
Lu Xiaofen sounded a bit emotional, then called out to the grandfather and grandson, who were still playing chess: "Master Gu, Tingyun, it’s time for dinner! Continue playing after eating, okay?".
Hearing this, Song Wennuan said with a smile: "They can’t hear anything once they start playing chess. They feel compelled to finish a game. Siyu, go help serve the dishes."
Helian Qiao was already helping to serve the food into the living room, so naturally, Gu Siyu didn’t want to be outdone. She immediately rushed to help.
Five minutes later, the game of chess was over.
Master Gu said sternly, "You lost. The tenth move was too hasty, you should have waited for the opportunity."
"I see, Grandfather." Gu Tingyun nodded, indicating that he had learned.
Master Gu stood up satisfied: "Let’s go, time for dinner".
The matches with his grandson were refreshing and extremely satisfying!
After eating, Song Wennuan and her wife rested for a while. Then they got up from the sofa in the living room: "We have to go to work this afternoon; we better get going. Dad, enjoy your time with the kids!".
"I also need to go. There are still a few matters that need to be taken care of." Master Gu used both hands to prop himself up from his knees, his voice deep and hearty.
However, Gu Tingyun interrupted: "Grandfather, you folks go on ahead. I will return home later tonight".
"Then I’ll stay too!" Gu Siyu said without hesitation.
Although she was still angry with Guibao, wherever her brother was, she wanted to be!
Master Gu was delighted to see the children together. He nodded: "Then, you two can come back after dinner."
The group left the mansion and got into a car to return home.
After finishing dinner, Gu Tingyun and Gu Siyu returned to the large courtyard by taxi.

That night, after Chen Jianjun’s mother and daughter went to sleep, he took out the banner, unfolded it and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, "I have donated all the gold bars to the country as you requested. This is the banner and thank-you letter given by the country."
Standing in the courtyard, the elderly man looked at his own name on the banner and couldn’t help his eyes becoming red.
He traced the words over and over with his finger, then saluted Chen Jianjun very solemnly: "Thank you, young man!".
Even though he knew Chen Jianjun couldn’t see, he wouldn’t neglect the proper etiquette.
The boy also followed his grandfather’s actions and saluted: "Thank you, Uncle!".
Chen Jianjun put the banner and the deed back into the wooden box, buried it again, then promised, "One day, I will hang this banner in the middle of the main hall."
