Heading Back Home (1)

Gu Qingyao was amused by them, "I have no choice. I wasn't born in the capital, and I definitely need to go back to my hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year, right? My hometown is very far from here. It will take me half a month on the train. Then it will be the new year soon after I reach home."0

All of the elderly there were not willing to let her go, "Please don't leave. We just got back to our original life. What are we going to eat after you leave?"

Oh my!

They had been used to eating all the delicious food from her. How painful it would be to go back to eating the food they cooked themselves.

They took years to get used to their new life after their families had fallen.

They wanted to live!

At least they were still alive!

Gu Qingyao smiled, "I'm not leaving immediately. I will still be here for a few days. I will come over every day and bring something for you to store. You will definitely have enough food for Chinese New Year."

But the few elderly were still not pleased.

How would they be satisfied with stored food?

They could only store some grain and meat. How could they be more delicious than readily-made food?

Furthermore, would she still come back after she returned to her hometown?

What were they going to do without her?

"Please don't leave. Isn't the capital a good place? Just spend the new year here since you're living here now. We still have many treasures in hand. You can come and visit us during the Chinese New Year. We will give you many presents!"

Elder Yang winked; his insinuation was obvious.

Gu Qingyao twitched her lips. They were trying to seduce her with money?

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "Grandpa Yang, I really need to go back. I never planned on staying long in the capital anyway. I was just here to accompany my teacher to her job. Now they have a stable job and do not need me to take care of them all the time. I have not gone back to my hometown for a very long time. I need to visit my grandparents and my father for Chinese New Year."

Elder Sun stared at the desserts. They could store grains, but what about his favorite desserts?

They could not let the girl leave!

"Girl, why do you want to leave the capital? You're such a pretty girl. Find a guy to marry here, all right? I can introduce you to a good man!"

Elder Yang's eyes brightened and added, "That's right. It's so tiring for you to travel back. How can your hometown be better than the capital? Do you want to stay there and farm for the rest of your life? It's going to be so tiring!

"Just stay here. We'll introduce you to good men. You will then be able to stay here forever. You can find a job and get your own income."

Actually, they had not seen Gu Qingyao's true appearance till now.

Gu Qingyao stopped covering her face in front of them or put up any disguise. She was really pretty.

But Elder Yang was very discerning. He could still tell that Gu Qingyao did something to her face that felt different.

He was very sure that the girl hid her real appearance but just not that obvious.

Gu Qingyao did something to cover up her appearance but nothing major. She put on some makeup to cover up the outlines of her face which appeared to be different.

She was not as fair as before, and less beautiful. She appeared to be a decent young girl.

But her appearance was still prettier than many others. That was the reason why Elder Yang said she was pretty.

Gu Qingyao needed to be more cautious in the capital, especially in the black market. There were many capable people hidden inside the market.
