In the early morning, Hu Xiaomin changed into old cloth shoes, wore an old coarse cloth clothes, and went out with braces. Although the clothes were worn out, they were very clean. Hu Xiaomin hoped to give the Gu family a poor image, so that it would be in line with his willingness to join his relatives.

The Gu family lives in a Western-style villa with a large iron gate in front of the door. The house is more than ten meters away from the door, with a large lawn, and a small garden is built in the middle.

After ringing the doorbell, a thin middle-aged man in a long gown came out. It was Liu Afu, the male servant of the Gu family.

Liu Afu was originally jogging out, but when he saw Hu Xiaomin's appearance, he immediately stopped. He looked up and down at Hu Xiaomin, and asked disdainfully: "What is Ning?"

As a servant from a superior family, when he sees a poor man, he has a natural sense of superiority. Even if he is just a servant, he is a high-ranking existence in front of the country people.

Hu Xiaomin said neither humble nor arrogantly: "My name is Hu Xiaomin, I came from Ningbo."

Liu Afu snorted coldly. He had seen many such rural people, either wanting to catch up with relatives or asking for some money to spend.

"What are you doing?"

Even though he knew that Hu Xiaomin might not understand it very much, he had to speak local language in order to show his superiority.

Before Hu Xiaomin came to Shanghai, he received dialect training and could basically understand Shanghai dialect and speak a little. Moreover, even if he did not understand Shanghai dialect, he could still hear the other party's contempt.

Hu Xiaomin was not angry either. He just deliberately increased his accent while speaking: "I'm looking for Uncle Gu Zhiren and Uncle Gu. Ningbo Hu Xiaomin came to visit. Please inform me!"

Liu Afu knew that the Gu family was from Ningbo, so he might be a real relative, so he immediately said, "Wait."

Hu Xiaomin came here by the time, and at this time, neither Gu Zhiren nor Gu Huiying went out.

Sure enough, Hu Xiaomin successfully met Gu Zhiren.

Gu Zhiren is in his forties, medium-sized, with a mustache on his lips, wearing British short-sleeved shirts, and his eyes are a little cloudy. I don’t know if he didn’t sleep well or had something to do, but he looked a little haggard.

Seeing Gu Zhiren, Hu Xiaomin's eyes turned red, and he seemed to be unable to stand firmly, and he choked and said, "Hello Uncle Gu, I am Hu Xiaomin."

Since entering the Military Control Commission, Hu Xiaomin has always been wearing a mask. His true thoughts are hidden under the mask. This time he came to the Gu family, which is equivalent to wearing another mask.

Last night, Hu Xiaomin kept simulating the scene of today's meeting in his mind. His main goal was Gu Zhiren. As long as Gu Zhiren felt compassionate, it would be no problem to stay in the Gu family.

Although it was very surprised to see Hu Xiaomin who suddenly appeared, his face was still filled with a smile. Gu Zhiren pulled Hu Xiaomin's arm and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Nephew Xiaomin, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right?"

Hu Xiaomin took a step back, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "It's exactly twelve years since we last met."

Gu Zhiren patted Hu Xiaomin on the shoulder and said with emotion: "When I met you last time, I was a child, but now I am a big guy. Well, I'm just carved from the same mold as Brother Yingming."

Looking at Hu Xiaomin's clothes, Gu Zhiren was a little sad and ashamed. He and Hu Yingming were sworn brothers. After Hu Yingming's death twelve years ago, the Gu family and the Hu family slowly broke off contact. Unexpectedly, the Hu family fell into such a land.

Hu Xiaomin said sadly: "I miss my father very much, too..."

His father Hu Yingming and Gu Zhiren are sworn brothers. When their wives were pregnant at the same time, they made an appointment. If they were a man, they would become brothers. If they were a woman, they would become sisters. If they were a man and a woman, they would become husband and wife.

Although it was a joke at that time, the two men took it seriously. Hu Yingming was still alive at that time and often brought Hu Xiaomin to Shanghai to visit the Gu family. Before he was ten years old, Hu Xiaomin did come to Shanghai several times.

Gu Zhiren sighed and asked, "How great would it be if Brother Yingming was still here. How is your mother's health? How can she live at home?"

Hu Xiaomin hesitated for a moment and said sadly: "My mother is in good health, but her family property in her hometown is almost sold... This time she came to Shanghai, and my mother told me to come and find Uncle Gu, settle down first, find an errand... and then get a home."

Although he did not mention the marriage, Gu Zhiren should have understood.

Gu Zhiren was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Yes, you really should start a family... Is there a place to live? Don't rent a house outside, just live in my house."

Judging from Hu Xiaomin's clothes, Gu Zhiren naturally knew what life he was living now. Even if he had a place to live, he could imagine what kind of environment it would be.

Hu Xiaomin said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Gu, you're almost exhausted."

Gu Zhiren really sympathized with his situation and did not waste his embarrassment. As long as he lived in the Gu family, the plan to enter the corner cannon will be half successful.

Gu Zhiren smiled and said, "Come on, meet your aunt and Huiying."

Gu Zhiren's wife Wang Shuzhen has a dignified appearance, wears a cheongsam, and is well maintained. She just looked at Hu Xiaomin with contempt and disdain. The most disliked by the rich are poor relatives, not to mention that Hu Xiaomin even wants to attack her daughter, so naturally she will not have a good face.

Wang Shuzhen heard the conversation between Gu Zhiren and Hu Xiaomin in the restaurant with pointed ears. Hu Xiaomin was not much worse than a beggar. Such a person living at home could make her feel disgusted. Thinking of the marriage between Gu and Hu families, she wanted to drive Hu Xiaomin away immediately.

Gu Huiying is only a few days younger than Hu Xiaomin. They met when they were young. Now Gu Huiying is graceful, with a goose face, a curved eyebrows like a hook, a firm nose, a slim waist, red lips and white teeth, like a rose in bud.

She did not wear cheongsam, nor did she look like other fashionable women, but instead wore a small silk white underwear with a collar over the outside, a suit and trousers, and a gray Zhongshan suit on her upper body.

This kind of men's outfit is very alternative, but has a unique flavor.

When Hu Xiaomin first came in, Gu Huiying glanced at him. When Hu Xiaomin greeted her, Gu Huiying just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Gu Huiying met Hu Xiaomin when she was a child, and her impression of Hu Xiaomin was very vague. When she saw Hu Xiaomin at this time, she neither looked down on her nor had the joy of reunion after a long time, but she had only doubts.

Gu Huiying used to work in the municipal party committee and later joined the Central Committee as an intelligence officer. The Shanghai Special Municipal Party Committee was detected by No. 76, and most of them changed their course. Gu Huiying also changed from the Central Committee intelligence officer to the No. 76 intelligence officer.

Wang Shuzhen walked up to Hu Xiaomin, took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, and said with disgust: "If you don't have any idle people in Alawo, if Mr. Hu is going to live for a long time, he will still have to find a job."

Gu Zhiren made Hu Xiaomin live at home, and she firmly opposed it. Thinking about Hu Xiaomin's desire to "get married", he was even more worried. Should he really fulfill his promise to marry back then?
