In the afternoon, all the relatives of the Gu family knew the news that Gu Qingbei and his family had returned.

After work in the evening, no one was in a hurry to go home to cook. Instead, they all walked to the door of Gu's house without any prior arrangement.

At this time, the Gu family was also picking vegetables and cooking in the yard.

The front and back yards were filled with vegetables planted by Gu Zhenxing and Wang Daya.

Especially now is the season when vegetables are ripe, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and especially beans are growing very fast.

The fruits that were ripe the day before but not picked will become old the next day. There are also many loofahs on the racks above my head in the yard.

In the summer, I never worry about not having fresh vegetables to eat. Instead, I worry about what to do with the leftovers.

If you have relatives in the city who live nearby, you can send some to them, but if they are too far away, it is not worth it.

It doesn’t cost much to buy these vegetables at the vegetable market.

I haven't seen you for a few years, and many unfamiliar faces have appeared again.

The two daughters-in-law of Gu Zhenhua next door are also familiar with Jiang Mengxue, especially the eldest daughter-in-law Xia Minghua.

She hasn't changed much in the past two years, but she gave birth to a son two years ago, so there are now three children in the family.

I saw several children from Jiang Mengxue's family helping with work in the yard, especially the little ones who were dressed beautifully and had fair faces.

In fact, this is all thanks to Jiang Mengxue's efforts.

Otherwise, with the weather in the northwest, even if you are not blown into charcoal by the wind after living there for a while, there will be a lot of red bloodshot on your face.

Especially when Jiang Mengxue first arrived, her skin also became worse.

Fortunately, she reacted in time, and paid attention to wind and sun protection when going out, and used sunscreen daily.

She would wrap the children tightly when they went out, so that their skin would not get tanned.

There is another point that many people have not paid attention to, which is the use of water in daily life.

The different geology of a place will result in different minerals in the water, which will also have different effects on people's skin and teeth.

Just like in some places, the water quality will make your hair dry and wiry after washing, and it is impossible to comb it without conditioner.

Therefore, most of Jiang Mengxue's water at home is stored in her space, and the water she fetches from home every day is stored in her space for daily use in washing clothes and watering the land.

"This is really the first time I've seen quadruplets, but why don't all of them look exactly the same when they're born from the same litter?"

Xia Minghua had also seen twins, but the two children looked exactly the same, and no one outside the family could tell who was which, and sometimes even the family members couldn't tell them apart.

But the quadruplets of the Gu family only look about 40% to 50% alike.

Jiang Mengxue touched her daughter's little face. Among the children in the family, only Occasionally looked the most like her and was the most caring.

"Twins are also different. Some are identical, while others are fraternal. Identical twins look alike, while fraternal twins look different."

However, the Gu family is still relatively strong. Jiang Mengxue is a little different. The eyebrows and eyes of several children are very similar to Gu Qingbei, and the difference is in the lower half of the face.

But Gu Qingbei is a grown man, especially since he has been in a high position for many years. His eyes are sharp and majestic, especially Mo Bao who is most like him, although Mo Bao is a little gentler.

Xia Minghua's daughter is two years older than Mobao, but she is about the same height as Mobao and not as fat as him.

The little girl hid behind her mother and looked at Jiang Mengxue curiously, obviously not remembering it.

"Yaoyao, don't you remember your aunt? When you were a kid, you came to play with me every day."

At that time, Jiang Mengxue worked in the health center. Sometimes when her family was busy and there was no one to take care of the children, Gu Yuyan would take her niece to the health center, so Jiang Mengxue often took her out to play.

"By the way, where is Yuyan now? Is she working at the commune clinic?"

Xia Minghua was full of affection when she mentioned her sister-in-law. After all, when she got married, Gu Yuyan was only a ten-year-old girl, and she was close to her.

"Yes, not long after you joined the army, she passed the exam and got a job at the health center. The man she found was also a colleague who went in with her. They were classmates in junior high school. His parents were also workers in the factory, and his family conditions were very good.

Yuyan would definitely be happy if she knew you were back, but she's been pregnant with her second child for over seven months now, and the roads are difficult to travel on, so my mother told her to come back less often."

Because it is not far away, Gu Yuyan goes home once or twice every month.

Anyway, she separated from the family after getting married, and no one can control her if she doesn't live with her in-laws.

Her husband's name is Meng Yuan, and he also likes to play. Every time he comes back with her, they can go for a walk in the mountains and play with Xia Minghua's son, so he also likes to come back with her.

Sometimes she felt lazy and just wanted to sleep at home after resting, but Meng Yuan would still urge her to go back to her parents' home.

Every time Zhang Qiuju saw her son-in-law playing so well with her ten-year-old grandson, she felt worried.

They have such childish minds, and the two of them have separated to live on their own. Do these two children know what life is like when they are together?

Gu Yuyan, who had no idea what her mother was thinking, felt no burden at all.

She chose her partner herself. They knew each other since school. Although they didn't fall in love prematurely, they understood each other.

On the surface, he seems playful and childish, but he is very serious in his life.

I can handle all the big and small things at home. I can enter the kitchen at home and handle things outside.

Her husband's family has an older uncle, and her parents-in-law can be said to have given most of the family resources to the eldest son, and the younger ones can only pick up some of the leftovers.

But Meng Yuan was clear about the unfairness of his parents-in-law and never accepted that his parents were partial to him. He dared to speak up and fight for anything.

It wasn't that he hadn't been taught a lesson when he was a child, but he always found a way to make the whole family unhappy, and even his relationship with his eldest brother reached a freezing point.

Meng's parents were worried that their youngest son might set the house on fire if he got unhappy. From then on, at least they didn't dare to show favoritism in public.

After getting married, Meng Yuan knew that his parents would definitely not be happy with his wife and children, so he decisively separated from the family and moved out, and also gave half of his parents' savings.

In the future, retirement care will be the same. The house where his parents live will definitely be the largest. Why should he get a share of it with nothing?

Not only did they share the money, but his family also paid for his rent and the purchase of household necessities. If his parents didn't give him money, he would just move out from home.

When Gu Yuyan found out, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could she treat her son like this?

But what Meng Yuan said was: "Compared to my elder brother, my job is nothing. I got my job by myself, while my elder brother's job was found for him by my parents who spent money and asked for favors.

When my eldest brother got married, my parents saved up their money and bought them a sewing machine. We had nothing.

Do you believe that as soon as my sister-in-law gives birth to her second child, my mother will immediately give her job to him?

Besides, I deserve all these things. I will give them enough pension after marriage, and I will also give them filial piety during the New Year and other festivals.

When I get old, whether I need someone to take care of me in the hospital or to take care of me, it will be my responsibility and I will not refuse.

But this is also because they are qualified as parents, and I, as a son, can be filial to them."
