Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

A phone call from the Municipal Agricultural Bureau broke the peace that had always existed in the Shanghe Village Production Brigade. In just one morning, the news that Gu Zhan was being investigated by the Municipal Agricultural Bureau by phone spread like wildfire.

The villagers were talking about it, and some of the brave ones even ran directly to Zhao Baogen to verify it.

"Captain, I heard the Municipal Agricultural Bureau called to investigate Gu Zhan?"

Zhao Baogen glared at the man and said nothing.

Another person nearby was also obviously curious about this matter and continued to ask, "Captain, what did the city leaders say?"

After much thought, Zhao Baogen gave a brief account of the incident, but at the end he asked everyone not to spread rumors at will.

When Liu Jinshui went to work this morning, he also heard about this from his colleagues. At first, Liu Jinshui didn't believe it, but then he thought about it carefully. His son-in-law did go to the city, so maybe this was true.

Liu Jinshui felt uneasy because his daughter was pregnant. To be on the safe side, he didn't dare tell his daughter about this matter. He had to go to Zhao Baogen in person to ask about the situation.

Zhao Baogen was also worried about this matter. What on earth was this kid Gu Zhan doing?

When Zhao Baogen saw Liu Jinshui come in, he knew his purpose.

"Sit down!" Zhao Baogen stood up and pulled over a wooden stool.

"Hey, good."

Liu Jinshui sat cautiously on the stool, rubbing his palms and thinking for a long time before he stammered, "Um... Captain, I heard someone said the city called this morning to ask about my son-in-law's situation. Did he do something wrong?"

In the impression of the people in Shanghe Village, only those who have made mistakes will be called by higher authorities for questioning. Previously, a team member was caught for speculation and it was people from the county who called them.

Zhao Baogen rolled his eyes at Liu Jinshui and said, "Can you think better of it? The child is away from home, and you..."

"I'm just worried! What exactly did the city leaders ask?"

"I just asked for some personal information, nothing else. I know you're worried, and I'm worried too, but what's the point of worrying? Let's wait and see."

"Hey, good!"

Although Liu Jinshui got the news he wanted, he felt even more uneasy.

When Liu Xiaoxi got home from work at noon, she had already prepared lunch. During the days when Gu Zhan was away, she didn't go to work, but stayed at her parents' house, helping with cooking and doing housework, which was quite relaxing.

Looking at his daughter bringing food to the table, Liu Jinshui winked at his wife and his son and daughter-in-law. They understood and just buried their heads in eating, not telling Liu Xiaoxi the news they heard outside.

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoxi looked at her parents and brother and sister-in-law, who were unusually silent today, and asked curiously, "Did something happen today? Why aren't you talking?"

Huang Guihua glanced at Liu Jinshui obscurely, then her expression returned to normal: "It's okay, we're just tired from working today and don't feel like talking."

"Oh!"

Although Liu Xiaoxi felt it was strange, she didn't think much of it. She just counted the days until Gu Zhan would be back.

On his way home from work at noon, Gu Jun was stopped by his childhood friend Liu Dawei from afar.

Under the scorching sun, Gu Jun was tired, thirsty, and furious. Unexpectedly, the news Liu Dawei brought made him feel much better: "Jun'er, I heard that your brother Gu Zhan was called by the city to investigate. Could he have committed some crime?"

Gu Jun was stunned at first: "I don't know, what has he been doing recently?"

The childhood friend gave Gu Jun a look of contempt, as if to say, "Just pretend!" "You don't even know this?"

"How would I know? You know I don't like being around a guy like him who can't even say a word. I think he's really annoying."

"This morning, the village was buzzing with rumors. I wonder what your cousin did that caused the city leaders to come to his rescue."

Gu Jun frowned, and suddenly he remembered that Gu Zhan seemed to have gone out early yesterday morning. As for what he did, he was also very mysterious. Even his wife had not been at home since yesterday.

"Do you think your family will be implicated?"

"Oh, that shouldn't happen. We have already separated from him."

Although Gu Junsui said this, he was still a little worried in his heart. He and Gu Zhan lived in the same yard. What if that bastard did something out of line and affected him?

I have to go home quickly and tell my grandparents and parents about this so that they can be mentally prepared in advance.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Dad, I heard that Gu Zhan got into trouble. Will it implicate our family?

When Gu Dali heard the news, he paused smoking his pipe for a moment, then returned to normal. On the contrary, Zhao Dani's eyes lit up when she heard Gu Jun's words. She hurriedly walked up to Gu Jun and asked in a low voice, "Did that little bastard really commit a crime?"

Gu Jun nodded slightly: "That's what the villagers said."

"Okay, okay, this little bastard is too rampant." Zhao Dani walked into the main room with a smile.

Zhang Qiaomei, who was cooking in the kitchen, glanced at Zhao Hongmei, who was eavesdropping, and said calmly, "Control your man from now on. Don't always go to the old lady. What good can you learn from her?"

Zhao Hongmei, who was suddenly mentioned, nodded hurriedly. Her mother-in-law seemed to be quiet, but she was a ruthless person when doing things. She would rather offend the old lady Zhao Dani than offend her own mother-in-law.

When Zhao Hongmei was thinking about how to persuade her husband Gu Junshao to get close to the old lady, Zhang Qiaomei asked her, "Do you also think Gu Zhan has done something wrong?"

Zhao Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She had just heard about Gu Zhan's matter from her colleagues. If the city government could call to investigate, it must be no small matter.

Zhang Qiaomei sneered. She thought her daughter-in-law had received some education and was a clear-headed person, but she didn't expect that she was actually confused.

Thinking of her son who was even worse than her daughter-in-law, Zhang Qiaomei felt a headache. After thinking about it, she finally gave Zhao Hongmei a hint: "The higher authorities called to investigate. Besides this person doing something bad, there's also the possibility that this person did something good."

Zhao Hongmei suddenly realized and thought about it carefully. The rumor outside was that it was the Municipal Agriculture Bureau that called Captain Zhao, not the Public Security Bureau or some other unit. So, Gu Zhan was not guilty as they said.

"I see."

"From now on, spend more time with Gu Zhan's wife."

"Oh, okay, Mom."
