Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Big Brother Printed in the Newspaper_1

Old Mr. Hu was ready to depart.

Before leaving, he spoke gently to Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, I’m going to pick up your Uncle Jinyu first. After dinner, your Grandma Hu will have someone send you back."

Song Yunuan: "Okay, Grandpa Hu."

Old Mr. Hu: "Little Nuan, this place is your home. From now on, don’t call me Grandpa Hu or Grandma Hu anymore. I am a year younger than Old Master Ji, you can call me Third Grandpa, and you can call your Grandma Hu Third Grandma."

Little Asheng batted his eyes and immediately called out, "Third Grandpa."

How wonderful, to have another grandpa.

After Old Mr. Hu gave his instructions, he hurriedly walked out.

At the gate waiting for the car, he encountered his jubilant spouse, returning with a sense of accomplishment.

In that moment, Old Mr. Hu’s eyes were moist.

If Little Nuan’s prophecies were all accurate, in a few hours, his family would be facing ruin and death.

If that really happened.

Even though he had connections that reached the heavens, he would be powerless.

Who could have thought that a villager from a small village would be daring to this extent?

Was it a matter of too good a disguise, or something else?

Old Mr. Hu’s heart was always in a state of unrest, but for now, he couldn’t let his spouse notice.

He said to Old Mrs. Hu, "...I just happened to mention to Little Nuan that Zhaozhao and others would arrive tonight. Who would have thought Little Nuan heard that there is a place on that road experiencing severe flooding?"

Old Mrs. Hu was immediately frightened, her complexion changed. Good heavens, water and fire show no mercy. If there’s flooding on the roads while driving, what could they do?

They’re all in the car. If they got swept into the floodwaters, they wouldn’t even be able to open the car doors, they would be suffocated alive.

The more she thought, the more scared she became. Old Mrs. Hu urged Old Mr. Hu to hurry and go to their aid, also reminding him to be safe.

Old Mr. Hu did not dare to scare his spouse, but a thought struck him – was there something wrong with her? Once this was over, he needed to take her to the hospital for a check-up.

Old Mr. Hu deliberately relaxed his expression and said, "Don’t worry, there’s no problem. I just called our son’s workplace. Guess what, Jinyu is such a rascal, he actually brought along his wife and child. With him there, there won’t be any problems. Moreover, I’ve just called a few people in Qingshui County City to intercept them on their way out of the city, and I still have to meet them. It’s as safe as it gets. You go back home now. Little Nuan and Asheng are good kids, treat them as if they were our own. Also, Old Master Ji ranks as the second elder, I rank as the third, so let her call us Third Grandpa and Third Grandma..."

As he spoke, several cars stopped outside the Hu family’s gate, including a large truck, upon which were a dozen or so people holding shovels.

The elder’s eyes narrowed.

Many of them were from the provincial public security, even though they were from another province, there was still interaction between them.

Old Mrs. Hu’s worry still lingered.

Yet, with so many people here, even if they encountered mudslides or severe flooding, there shouldn’t be any big problems, and they had also made calls in advance. So, Old Mrs. Hu stepped lively into the yard.

But at that moment, Song Yunuan came out of the yard, walking fast. She said to Old Mrs. Hu, "I have a few words to say to Third Grandpa."

The news of the flood was informed to the old man by Little Nuan.

Old Mrs. Hu hastily told Little Nuan to go quickly.

And Song Yunuan seemed to reach Old Mr. Hu in the blink of an eye. Song Yunuan said, "Third Grandpa, I suddenly remembered the Pagoda Tree Village I mentioned earlier. It was possibly a den of bandits before. As for now, I’m not sure, perhaps the bandits have scattered, or maybe they’ve gone undercover. After all, Qingshui County City is at the junction of three provinces and was long known as a lawless area..."

The elder didn’t know what to say. The child had the best intentions, truly moving.

He said, "I’ve got it all down." Then Old Mr. Hu got in the car and quickly drove out of Song Yunuan’s sight.

Song Yunuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

That lunch was delicious.

Xiao Wang’s culinary skills were on par with a star-rated chef.

It had everything: color, fragrance, and taste.

Little Asheng ate until he lay on the sofa groaning. Grandma Hu personally made him a digestif snack. She was both exasperated and enormously fond of it.

Elders do love to see children who enjoy eating anything they’re given.

Happier than if she had eaten herself.

She even said to Song Yunuan, "Boys and girls naturally have different appetites. My little grandson already eats more than his sister. You shouldn’t always control Asheng, lest he feels anxious while eating, which is not good for his health..."

Song Yunuan smiled and agreed, although she really wanted to wait for news here. She needed to take her brother for a stroll. And even though she should call Grandma Hu "Third Grandma" and had corrected herself earlier, she deliberately looked at Third Grandma but didn’t trigger any plot development.

It seemed that they had passed through without incident, safe and sound.

Song Yunuan, carrying a bag of tasty treats, walked leisurely toward the direction of the guesthouse with her brother.

It wasn’t very far.

About twenty minutes by foot.

It was a good way to walk off the meal.

Now when Little Asheng went out, he had to wear his special bag with a five-pointed star on it.

The bag now contained not just comic books but also the Jade Ruyi.

Little Asheng said to Song Yunuan, "Sister, the Jade Ruyi is still sleeping."

Song Yunuan replied casually, "Yeah, let it sleep. Be careful not to wake it up during the day and put it away when you get home. Don’t always carry it on your back."

Song Mingsheng nodded.

Suddenly he yelled, "Big brother!"

Song Yunuan was taken aback, the only person Asheng called big brother was Gu Huai’an.

Could it really be such a coincidence that they ran into him again in the provincial city?

Wasn’t he supposed to be abroad?

Looking in the direction Asheng was pointing, she didn’t see Gu Huai’an or his car.

"Where is your big brother?"

Little Asheng pointed to a newsstand, "Sister, big brother is at the newsstand, didn’t you see him?"

Then the little fellow started running.

Song Yunuan also quickened her pace and saw that it was indeed in the newspapers.

The headline was eye-catching, indicating that Gu Huai’an had reached an agreement with a certain country to cooperatively develop a new model of civilian flight equipment.

In the photo on the newspaper, Gu Huai’an looked indifferent and noble, with a brilliance about him.

It was a picture of him shaking hands with a foreigner.

Although the foreigner was quite tall, Gu Huai’an was still half a head taller.

Song Yunuan glanced over the content of the report, then looked at the photo. Her little brother’s good looks were truly unbeatable.

More of a celebrity than celebrities themselves.

People nowadays liked to collect clippings.

It involved cutting out attractive photos or text from the newspapers and pasting them into a notebook, some even making several thick volumes.

But with the advent of digitalization, this practice had become almost nonexistent.

In this era, people still collected candy wrappers and matchboxes, and stamps were even more popular.

At this moment, who knows how many people would cut out that photo?

Song Yunuan decided to buy a copy to take back with her.

But the next moment, her brows furrowed slightly.

This man hadn’t even come back yet, and they were promoting him so widely. It felt a little off, didn’t it?

Little did she know, at this time, Elder Gu’s face was ashen, and he had launched into a tirade before finally sitting down with a resigned sigh.
