Chapter 1226: Gu Xiaoxi’s Way Out

Gu Yundong was shocked. He exchanged glances with Shao Qingyuan and hurried in.

The voice beside her ear started to become clearer. It was Gu Xiaoxi’s voice.

“The scholar was so angry that he fell back on the spot. He pointed at the woman and said, ‘You’re simply twisting logic. I, I won’t talk to you again. A good man doesn’t fight with a woman.’ After saying that, the scholar hurriedly wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the woman stretched out her leg. The scholar wasn’t careful and tripped on the spot. He fell and was stunned. His face turned red and he cried.”

“Hahahahahaha.” A burst of laughter rang out.

Gu Yundong had already walked to the door of the central room and could see the situation inside clearly.

Her uncle stood in the middle of the central room and was telling a story vividly. He was beaming with joy and his hands and feet were waving.

As for Chang Yaya, Madam Yang, Eldest Aunt, Bian Han, Gu Dajiang, Little Keke, and the others, they surrounded him and applauded.

Gu Yundong turned her head helplessly and looked at Shao Qingyuan. “I thought something had happened.”

Gu Dajiang faced the door and was the first to see them. He quickly called them in. “You’re back? Did everything go smoothly?”

“Everything went well.” Gu Yundong walked in and sat beside Madam Yang, holding her hand.

Madam Yang was stunned for a moment before she grabbed her hand and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Gu Yundong asked, “What are you doing?”

“Your uncle is telling a story,” Chang Yaya said. “Today, when the baby moved, he started talking to the child. As he talked, it became storytelling.”

She did not expect things to develop like this. Initially, she was the only one listening. Later, the entire family came to listen, and all of them listened with relish. It made her not know whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Yundong was surprised. “Uncle is so good?”

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled. On the other hand, Chang Yaya said with a speechless expression, “You don’t know this, but ever since he heard a story in the prefectural city, he fell in love with it. The few times he went to the county city and passed by the teahouse, he would stop and stand outside to listen. Once, he was so engrossed in listening that he almost missed the time when the city gate closed.”

Gu Yundong really did not know about this. She did not expect her uncle to like this.

Shao Qingyuan, who was standing behind her, suddenly said, “If Little Uncle is interested, you can go to the teahouse to be a storyteller. When I heard Little Uncle tell the story just now, it was actually not inferior to those storytellers.”

Shao Qingyuan was right. When Gu Xiaoxi told the story, he was simply engrossed in it. His tone was cadenced, and it sounded very picturesque.

Of course, he was slightly inferior to the experienced storytellers in the prefectural city, but he was as good as the teahouse storytellers in the county city.

The only thing he was lacking in was probably his lack of confidence. Gu Xiaoxi was only so open in front of his family. If they were in a teahouse, he would probably feel restrained and uncomfortable.

Furthermore, there would occasionally be unexpected situations in the teahouse, and Gu Xiaoxi didn’t have the ability to deal with them.

But these could be trained.

When Gu Xiaoxi heard that he was going to be a storyteller, he immediately waved his hand and shook his head. “No, no. With my lousy skills, I can only tell stories to my child. How can I have the ability to go to a teahouse to tell stories? I don’t want to ruin other people’s business when the time comes. No, no. I’ll just farm at home.”

He didn’t dare. He was timid. Usually, even if he went to listen to stories, he would stand at the door and listen.
