In her previous life, Li Mingxi was an orphan. She encountered a car accident on her way home from work and was reborn into the 1960s, becoming the most beloved granddaughter of the Old Li family.<...
"You have to know that if it weren't for the old man, you wouldn't exist. Have you forgotten what I told you before? The most important thing for a person is not to forget his roots. Why, after just a few years of good life, have you become so inhumane?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jianying immediately stiffened his neck and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Dad, what are you saying? When did I become a non-human? If I don't care about our old relationship, can I come back?"
"Besides, Dad, Xiaochen is still here. How can the child miss me if you say such things?"
The old man always says this. To be honest, he is fed up with listening to him say these things all day long.
He also knew the kindness that Old Man Gu had shown him in the past, but his father didn't have to say this every day. To be honest, it really annoyed him.
Looking at his son's expression, Gu Changshan knew what he was thinking and snorted coldly.
"You said the child would miss you, with your attitude, the child would miss you just the way he should!"
This really doesn't give his son any face. After hearing what his father said, Gu Jianying's face turned red with embarrassment. She went to see Gu Tingchen secretly, fearing that he would misunderstand her.
Gu Tingchen didn't have time to deal with these two people. All he was thinking about was how to tell his grandfather about these two people when he got home.
Will my grandfather be unable to accept that I suddenly brought two people back?
If something happens at that time, it would be a real surprise!
Come to think of it, these two people are fine, but they insist on going home with me today, not even a day later. I don’t know what urgent matter they have that makes them so eager to see grandpa?
I waited for so many years, but now I can’t wait any longer. It’s really strange!
On this side, Li Mingxi simply put the incident of meeting Gu Tingchen on the road behind her mind.
When I got home, Niu Cuihua was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles.
He was so surprised to see Li Mingxi coming back.
"Hey, why did you come back so early today? It's only this hour, and you're back? What's going on? Did you not find anyone or what?"
"Grandma, what you said is true. I came back so early today, of course I found someone. After I told them what happened, I thought I had nothing else to do, so I thought of going home to accompany you. What's the matter? Don't you want me to be at home?"
As he spoke, Li Mingxi pouted unconsciously, looking as if he had really been wronged.
Seeing this, Niu Cuihua quickly started to explain herself.
"No, no, it's not like you usually don't come back until the afternoon. You came back so early today. I was just curious and asked a question. I didn't say I didn't want you to come back!"
Hearing what Niu Cuihua said, Li Mingxi stuck out his tongue mischievously.
"Alright, alright, it's nothing. Go read your books. I don't have any other thoughts right now. I just hope that all of you brothers and sisters can get into college and get a stable job. If that happens, I, your grandma, will wake up laughing in my dreams!"
After looking at Niu Cuihua, Li Mingxi made a solemn promise.
"Don't worry, grandma. I can't tell anyone else, but the three of us, siblings, are definitely going to pass!"
Hearing what Li Mingxi said, Niu Cuihua laughed out loud.
This went on until the next day, when news suddenly came from the brigade that a relative from the old Gu family had come, and judging by the way he was dressed, he didn't seem to be an ordinary person.
Speaking of which, everyone in the village knows that the Gu family used to be rich. If it weren't for policy reasons, they might not be able to return to their hometown.
In the past few years, although the grandparents and grandchildren of the Gu family were not criticized by the people in the brigade, life was not easy.
Now, two relatives suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This made people suspicious. If they were really relatives, then Grandpa Gu raised his grandson alone. It was so simple, and no one offered a help.
After that time, he suddenly said that he was a relative of Old Man Gu. The villagers couldn't help but doubt his purpose!
As soon as the news spread in the village, everyone rushed to the Gu family.
Everyone wanted to see who this relative who suddenly appeared from the old Gu family was.
When Li Mingxi accompanied Niu Cuihua to the house, the Gu family's yard was already crowded with people.
In addition to the Gu family's grandfather and grandson, there were two other people sitting around with everyone.
At first glance, Li Mingxi knew that these were the two people he met yesterday.
No wonder Gu Tingchen reacted like that at the time. It turned out that relatives came to visit and he didn’t want others to know.
After all, no relatives have visited their family for so many years. It seems strange that a father and son suddenly show up and say they are relatives who have been lost for many years.
However, when Li Mingxi looked at the two strangers in the middle of the field, he felt something strange in his heart. There must be some hidden story behind this.
Could it be that Gu Tingchen did it?
But that doesn't make sense. If the person came to see Gu Tingchen, why did the older man look at Old Man Gu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes?
Just as Li Mingxi was lost in thought, someone spoke up.
"Old man, the world is in trouble now. There are all kinds of people. If you are deceived, you will lose everything!"
The person who said this was a young man in the village. He felt that he had seen some of the world and was not surprised by this kind of scene. He didn't want to say anything at first, but so many people in the village were watching eagerly, and no one stood up to speak.
So, he stepped forward directly. If he could help the old Gu family, it would be a good thing!
But it was obvious that the old man had no idea what the man in front of him was doing?
He glanced at the person in front of him in confusion, and then asked in a faint voice, "What did you say?"
When the man heard the old man ask him this, he knew that the old man didn't understand what he meant. He didn't get angry, but directly stated the facts.
"Old man, don't disbelieve me. A while ago, there was a similar incident in my sister's village. Doesn't this mean that the policy has changed and they want to redress the wrongs done to some people who were wronged?"
Everyone looked at this man, not knowing what he was talking about. The Gu family's affairs had nothing to do with this matter?
Then, I heard that person speak calmly.
"It was about returning the houses and shops that had been owned by that family. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but then a few people showed up out of nowhere, claiming to be relatives of that family. And now, in the end, a lot of their stuff got split up for no reason!"
