Volume 1 Chapter 469 Gu Tong's Family Returns to Kyoto

"sure."

"Please help me get four strings."

"Okay, that's one dollar."

Not only were there people selling candied haws at the gate of Tiananmen Square, there were also people pulling carts out selling home-grown vegetables and grains.

Although trading is allowed now, not many people can actually take action. After all, everyone still has a certain resistance and fear about doing business privately.

There were only two or three vendors in the entire Tiananmen Square, and these people were ahead of the world.

Yi Yi asked Gu Tingxiao to help her hold four strings of candied haws. She pointed them here and there with her chubby little fingers, and arranged which one each string belonged to.

"This is from the big pot, from my second sister~"

"This is from Sanguoguo..."

Yi Yi pursed her lips when she thought of Gu Jinmin. She still remembered the last time Gu Jinmin snatched her toy.

"Mom~ I don't want to give San Guoguo~"

"Why?"

Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao stood on her left and right, looking down at her, each without saying a word.

"Is it because your brother stole your toy last time?"

Yi Yi nodded. She didn't like Fourth Aunt. Fourth Aunt defended Third Brother when he did something wrong, but Third Brother never apologized.

"Yi Yi has the right to dislike anyone."

She nodded. She knew it all. Her mother would never force herself.

Sheng Wanyan rubbed her head and squatted down so that she and he could look directly at each other.

"We need to have a big picture view and not dwell on one thing."

"Otherwise, it will be very hard for me."

"We can't let anyone catch us."

"We are a kid with a lot of ideas."

She nodded one by one. Although she didn't understand everything, she remembered it all.

I also understood that one should not be too calculative. What my mother says is always right, and I just need to listen to her.

"Yi Yi knows it's spicy~Give Third Brother a candied haws."

"I can't let Grandpa Nana be unhappy~"

“That’s great.”

Sheng Wanyan kissed her, put on her scarf and gloves, and took her home.

When he got home, his parents were so relieved to know that Yi Yi had bought candied haws for his brothers and sisters.

"Dad, I heard that Xiaotong will be back today, but I don't know if it will be."

Gu Tong has seldom returned to Kyoto since she married and moved to Rongcheng. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu had been thinking about this time when she could take a vacation.

They only had this one daughter, and she had married off to Chengdu, so they missed her very much.

"It should be soon."

Grandma Gu looked towards the door, her mind already wandering, while Mother Gu was also thinking about the good things about her sister-in-law.

"Thinking back then, the third brother was able to marry Yan'er thanks to the help of his sister-in-law."

"you do not say."

"Speaking of which, Yan'er and Xiaotong are also destined to be together. Rongcheng is so big that the two families can become relatives."

When Grandma Gu thought about the past, she also felt that Sheng Wanyan was destined to be with her family. After all the twists and turns, she deserved to be one of her family members.

Mother Gu nodded in approval, thinking that the third son was able to find a wife thanks to the help of her sister-in-law (Gu Tong).

He often went to the Sheng family to speak well of him, so that the Sheng family would feel at ease in handing their daughter over to Gu Tingxiao.

If it weren't for the help of my sister-in-law (Gu Tong), it's hard to say who Yan'er would be marrying now.

I can have such a good daughter-in-law thanks to my sister-in-law, I have to thank her very much.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a car sound at the door. Grandma Gu hurried out to see, and it was indeed Gu Tong's family!

"Xiaotong!!!"

"mom!"

"dad!"

As soon as Gu Tong got out of the car and saw his elderly parents, he quickly ran up to them with red eyes.

"I'm glad you're back. Come and let me see you."

Grandma Gu took Gu Tongzai and looked at her carefully. Seeing that everything was fine with her, she felt extremely relieved.

"Mom, Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law."

Father Ning (Ning Weiguo) greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law quickly when he saw them. Grandpa Gu nodded to Father Gu. They were all soldiers, so they couldn't help but say a word.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt."

Not only did Gu Tong and his wife come back to visit, but his eldest son and daughter-in-law and their family also came.

"Xiao Lin, come and let grandma see it, come quickly."

Gu Tong has two sons, both of whom are serving in the army in Chengdu. The eldest son is named Ning Junlin and the younger son is named Ning Junsen.

The two sons have already started their own families and have children.

Ning Junlin has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is 8 years old, the second daughter is 5 years old, and the youngest son is 3 years old.

Ning Junsen has a son and a daughter. His eldest son is 4 years old and his youngest daughter is 2 years old.

This time, the youngest son (Ning Junsen) and his family did not come back because their two children were too young to sit in the car for such a long time.

Ning Junlin brought his wife and children to Grandma Gu. Grandma Gu looked left and right, and she was so happy.

"Ting Xiao, Yan'er."

Gu Tong saw how kind Sheng Wanyan was. She didn't expect that she was so successful as a matchmaker that her nephew even had a child.

"Aunt."

"Yi Yi, this is my great aunt."

"Hello, aunt~"

"Okay, okay, come and show me this child. This child is so handsome."

When Gu Tong saw Yi Yi being raised to be plump and fair, he felt happy. Look how much this child looks like his third nephew.

"Hurry, hurry, come in and sit down first."

Mother Gu was afraid that the two elderly people would catch a cold from being outside in the cold wind, so she urged them to sit inside.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few years. You look more beautiful now."

When Mother Gu heard what Gu Tong said, she couldn't stop laughing. After all these years, her sister-in-law is still so eloquent.

"No way, you are getting younger and younger."

Gu's mother pulled Gu Tong into the house. The two aunt and sister-in-law hadn't seen each other for several years, but they were still very close.

Sheng Wanyan poured out a few glasses of water to warm them up, then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for tonight, and Gu Tingxiao followed behind.

Welcoming guests is very important, not to mention that Gu Tong has some favors towards himself and Gu Tingxiao.

If it weren't for Gu Tong, I wouldn't have fallen in love with Gu Tingxiao in the first place.

"Sister-in-law, you are still blessed."

Gu Tong watched Sheng Wanyan enter the kitchen and felt deeply moved. This child is still so polite.

In order to let the elders have a good chat, I prepared the food myself.

"Look at how filial Yan'er is. Tingxiao also knows how to care for others."

"Look at what you said. It's all thanks to your help before."

"Without you, I wouldn't have such a good daughter-in-law."

When Gu's mother talked about Sheng Wanyan, her face was full of pride. When Gu Tong saw her like this, he knew that Gu's mother's life would not be bad.

"How long will your vacation be this time?"

"Three months. Old Ning rarely has a vacation this year. I have to stay in Kyoto for a while longer."

"That's great. You can live in my little yard. I've already packed everything up knowing you'll be back."

Gu's mother arranged accommodation for their family, and Gu Tong was not pretentious and accepted the favor.

"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."

"We are one family and we don't have different opinions."
