"Good child, not bad, not bad at all..." Gu Qingfeng praised sincerely. Gu Tianfeng smiled and said, "This kid was smart from a young age. The family’s conditions weren’t good, so he stopped going to school after a few days. When he was ten, I tutored and supervised Qiaoqiao in memorizing texts. After Qiaoqiao read it once, this boy remembered it, word for word. I was curious and tested him on many things. During that time, whenever he had a moment, he would follow his Sister Qiaoqiao around. When Qiaoqiao memorized texts or did homework, he watched nearby, so as long as he had heard or seen it, he knew it. Later, he completed elementary school by skipping grades..." Then he looked at Chang Qing, his gaze full of warmth, but his voice still carried a sigh, "Back then, I was always worried this child would give up and not study, fortunately, fortunately..." Chang Qing smiled at Gu Tianfeng, his eyes a bit moist. He didn’t express his gratitude because he knew Gu Tianfeng didn’t like to hear it. To conceal his emotions, he quickly lowered his head and stuffed the food Lian Yuhong had placed on his plate into his mouth. He chewed bit by bit. Gu Qiaoqiao quickly intervened, jokingly, "Whenever this is mentioned, I get annoyed. This brat learned better than me in school. Seeing him memorize the texts made me so angry that I even pushed him once, warning him not to play with me again..." Then she turned to Chang Qing and, smiling, asked, "Brat, do you still remember that?" Chang Qing looked up, his eyes full of laughter, and nodded, "Of course I remember, Sister Qiaoqiao, you know my memory is the best." Old Patriarch Gu was very gratified, "When I was young, my father always told me not to look down on a poor young man. Today I finally understand the meaning of that. Chang Qing, from now on, Gu Garden is your home, and we are all your family. Don’t treat us as outsiders, alright?" Gu Tianfeng had wanted to say this earlier, but since Gu Qingfeng was the old patriarch of Gu Garden and an elder, despite knowing the old patriarch liked this child too, Gu Tianfeng didn’t want to impose his wishes on his grandfather. Now, hearing his grandfather say this, Gu Tianfeng was very happy inside. A year of university life, working at Luo Fan’s Hotel, along with various experiences, had matured Chang Qing significantly over the past year. The way he thought about things was also different from before. He knew that when the old patriarch said such words, it was genuine and sincere. This kind of person didn’t need to use flattering words with him. Discover more novels at novel-fire.net Because he wasn’t worth that from the old patriarch. And he also knew that Gu Tianfeng’s family had always treated him as their own family. It’s just that because of his father and stepmother, he couldn’t be officially brought into the Gu Family. But all of this was already enough. And he also knew that as a teacher, Gu Tianfeng didn’t want him to dwell on this matter. From Gu Tianfeng’s perspective, he only did what he should have done. In fact, because he didn’t achieve many things, he always felt guilty inside... He understood all of this. So, talking about repaying kindness was something he knew Gu Tianfeng didn’t like to hear. All he needed to do was study well and live well, and that was the best repayment to the Gu Family. And to regard Gu Tianfeng as his own family. Among family members, there’s no need for formality. Chang Qing looked at the old patriarch, his eyes smiling, nodding firmly and sincerely, "Great Grandfather, this is my home, always has been!"
