"It's about your mother's family." Father Lu sighed, "Since I received the letter just now, things haven't been going well for me."

Mother Lu took two deep breaths and said, "There's unrest at home again. My disappointing brother is already thirty years old this year, but he still behaves like a minor."

Gu Qingcheng roughly understood that there were four children in the Xu family.

Xu's mother, whose full name was Xu Shuxiang, was the eldest in the family. She married into the Lu family and was considered the happiest among the sisters.

Second Aunt Xu, whose full name is Xu Shuhua, the one I met on the island before, married to Guangzhou and is living a happy life.

Furthermore, the third daughter, Xu Shuyun, married to Tongcheng. Because of the influence of her two elder sisters, her in-laws did not dare to bully her.

The youngest one is the younger brother, also the late-born son of the Xu family. He is a few years older than Lu Shiyan. His full name is Xu Juncai. Because he is the youngest and a boy, he is almost always doted on in the family.

Even during the three years of national hardship from 1959 to 1961, he was never short of food at home. He was used to having whatever he wanted since he was a child, and he became lawless when he grew up.

But how can the current Xu family compare with before?

The Xu family is a scholarly family. Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were both university professors. However, due to special circumstances in recent years, they have to stay at home and live off their savings.

The situation at home is special, and Lu's mother has repeatedly told Xu Juncai to keep a low profile at home and not to cause trouble for the family.

Who knew that this brat was a troublemaker in Tongcheng, and he told all the things that happened at home to others.

This might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, and then the whole family will be implicated.

Xu Shuyun was anxious, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she quickly wrote a letter to Xu Shuxiang to explain the situation clearly.

This made Lu's mother anxious, and she has been frowning since she got home from get off work.

Gu Qingcheng comforted her, "Mom, I think you need to go back and take a look at this matter. I guess, apart from you, no one else in the family can control my uncle."

Gu Qingcheng's words really hit the nail on the head. Lu's mother is almost twenty years older than Xu Juncai, and she can be a mother at this age. Although she spoiled her younger brother when he was a child, when it comes to matters of principle, Lu's mother will not give in at all.

It is estimated that Xu Juncai can only listen to what Lu's mother says.

Mother Lu sighed: "It seems that this is the only way." If she didn't go back, Mother Lu would be worried. Her parents are so old and can't withstand any shock.

Gu Qingcheng added, "Mom, my three uncles are also going back to Tongcheng the day after tomorrow. How about you go with them? Let Shi Yan go with you, so that we can have someone to take care of us on the way and have more people to help."

Hearing this, Mother Lu glanced at Lu Shiyan, only to see that Lu Shiyan's face looked a little unhappy. To be honest, he had just been together with his wife, and was enjoying himself every day, and didn't want to be separated from her.

Mother Lu understood immediately and said disdainfully, "He came to help me? I hope he doesn't make things worse!"

Lu Shiyan: ...

In the end, Lu Shiyan went with Lu's mother. The main reason was that Gu Qingcheng was really worried about letting her mother-in-law face this matter alone. Xu Juncai was a man and she was a woman. What if Xu Juncai got angry and started fighting?

With Lu Shiyan going, at least we can be protected.

…

The next day, Lu's mother went to the company to ask for leave and opened a letter of introduction. Lu Shiyan then got busy and packed up the things he would need for the long trip.

Father Lu simply took a day off, and took Gu Qingcheng's grandparents and their family on a tour around Jiang City.

The next day, the Lu family sent two cars to take everyone to the train station.

In addition to a few people who wanted to return to Tongcheng, Gu Qingcheng and Lu's father also got on the bus and went to the train station.

Mother Lu was worried all the way, and Li Jiadong comforted her, "Mother-in-law, don't worry too much about this. I've heard about Juncai before. He's a bit of a scoundrel, but he still has a sense of right and wrong. When you go back today, the most urgent thing is to educate him and keep a low profile in the future."

"After all, you also know that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu..."

Li Jiadong didn't tell the whole story, but Lu's mother knew it all.

She pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, uncle-in-law. I am making fun of you again."

Li Jiahuan said: "What's so funny about this? Qingcheng married Xiaoshi, so we are a family, and we should not have different opinions."

"Yes," Li Jiabing continued, "I will also keep an eye on the Public Security Bureau for you. If there is any movement, I will notify you."

"It's really too much trouble!" Mother Lu thanked them quickly, "This time, the uncles came from afar, and I'm sorry for not hosting them well. I will definitely come to visit you with Qingcheng some other day."

A few people joked, "Then we'll just have to wait."

The group arrived at the train station. Gu Qingcheng originally wanted to go to Tongcheng, but firstly, the train tickets were in short supply, and secondly, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li were still alive. The two old people were helpless, and she couldn't just leave them alone, so she thought about spending some time with them.

…

At this moment, the island.

Aunt Zhang prepared the meal and put it on the table: "Mengmeng, Nian Nian, it's time to eat."

As soon as Lu Mengmeng heard that dinner was about to start, she immediately put down what she was doing and rushed over.

"Here I come!"

Lu Xinian couldn't help but cover his face. When his sister saw food, she would definitely run faster than anyone else.

Lu Mengmeng finished her bowl of rice quickly, holding the empty bowl, and said softly, "I want another bowl."

Aunt Zhang saw that Lu Mengmeng's little face was becoming rounder and rounder, and it seemed like she could gain a pound a day.

He shook his head and said, "No, I've already reached the limit for today. If I eat any more, I'll exceed the limit."

"Okay then." Mengmeng didn't make a fuss. Like a killer who was untainted by worldly emotions, she walked to the desk alone and started drawing.

He used so much force that it seemed as if he wanted to tear the drawing paper.

There were a few big words written on it:

If you don’t give Mengmeng food, Mengmeng can find food for herself!

Aunt Zhang looked at Lu Mengmeng, feeling a little strange.

She was thinking about one thing.

I have clearly listened to my wife's advice recently and strictly controlled my child's diet and prevented him from overeating.

How can you still gain weight?

Could it be because of the child’s physical condition that he can gain weight just by drinking water?

Mother Zhang was confused.

Then he looked at the skinny little white dog outside the door.

He clicked his tongue twice.

"The flesh that should have grown didn't grow, but the flesh that shouldn't have grown grew a lot."
