"It's already not bad that you can pass at your age. Don't belittle yourself.
"However, you have to work harder in the future and strive to be a top scholar as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your kind words." Gu Chenglin replied.
The patriarch then asked about the situation of the siblings, and then everyone chatted for a while longer.
Soon, dinner was served. After all the dishes were served, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Fang left.
Gu Chengrui saw that they were going to take Xiao Douzi away and said, "Auntie, let Xiao Douzi stay. A boy will need to grow. It's good for him to meet some people."
"Yes, yes, let Xiao Douzi stay. He won't be shy around everyone in the future." The patriarch looked at Gu Chenglin, who was magnanimous and not restrained at all. He waved at Xiao Douzi and arranged for him to sit between him and Gu Chengen.
