In the end, it was all about dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law, and Liang Su had no way to respond.

It's no use sending a Buddha to the west. Liang Su and Shen Congji have nothing to do, so they send her home as well.

When they got near her house, the old lady poured out the food to feed the wild cat.

Although it is called a wild cat, it is actually quite clean, just like a domestic cat.

"Grandma, where is your home?"

The old lady pointed to one of the houses. Just the gate looked like a large courtyard.

"You guys want to come in and sit down?"

Liang Su declined: "Thank you, grandma, but no, we have to go back."

She is leaving Coconut City tomorrow and she has to go back to pack her things.

The old lady was a little disappointed.

Suddenly the door opened and a slender and graceful woman walked out slowly.

Liang Su shouted in surprise: "Sister Xia?"

She was shouting along with Sister Zhao. It turned out that the old lady was Gu Xia's mother-in-law.

People outside say that Gu Xia has a wicked mother-in-law, but the old lady says that Gu Xia is a wicked daughter-in-law. It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed not good.

Gu Xia was still wearing her cheongsam, her fair calves faintly visible.

She laughed softly, "It's not appropriate for you to call me sister, just call me Aunt Gu."

Liang Su nodded and called out obediently, "Aunt Gu."

Gu Xia walked to the old lady and said, "Mom, go back and rest."

"I'm not going back."

Gu Xia smiled helplessly, with indulgence in her eyes, as if she was looking at a child who was throwing a tantrum.

"Your fever has just subsided. Rest for a few days and then I'll take you to the beach."

Liang Su: “…”

It turns out this was the reason why the old lady got angry and ran away from home.

"Don't worry about it, I'll go by myself."

Gu Xia asked patiently, "Did you go?"

The old lady snorted. She used to be a woman who never left the house, and her lifestyle remained unchanged even in her old age.

I don’t even know where to take the bus.

"Go home and rest. I'll take you with me when you're well again."

After much persuasion, Gu Xia finally persuaded the old lady to go home and let the nanny help her into the house to rest.

"I'm sorry, the old lady is a little willful. Did I cause you any trouble?"

Liang Su smiled and shook his head, "No, I just had a meal."

Gu Xia expressed his gratitude and invited Liang Su to come in and sit down.

Liang Su originally wanted to refuse, but he was curious about the house surrounded by high walls, so he nodded and walked in with Shao Yincheng.

There is a screen wall at the entrance, which is carved with the pattern of a dragon spitting beads.

Around the screen wall is a small garden with rockery and a fish pond next to it. There are patches of roses in the yard, with pink flowers blooming on the wall.

Then there is the main hall, with portraits of ancestors hanging above it.

The man hanging at the bottom has a delicate and feminine face. He should be Gu Xia’s deceased husband.

"You are a couple, right?"

Liang Su smiled and nodded, "He is my husband."

Gu Xia asked the nanny to bring up some tea. "What are you doing coming from Cheng County?"

"I didn't come from Cheng County. My husband is a soldier stationed at the Yalangwan base. I followed him here."

Gu Xia suddenly realized and looked at Shen Congji again. He had an upright posture and was full of righteousness. He really looked like a soldier.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her mood became a little less intense.

“So he’s a soldier.”

Liang Su looked towards the yard. "What's the name of this rose? I bought a few at the market and planted them in the yard, but they haven't bloomed yet. Aunt Gu, your roses are really well-groomed."

Gu Xia smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a variety imported from abroad, called Meiviolin."

She was not a talkative person, and Liang Su didn't know what topic to talk about. After chatting for a few words, she and Shen Congji stood up and said goodbye.

The nanny comforted the old lady to sleep and came out of the room. The guests had already left, so she took the cup away.

"Madam, I don't know where the old lady got to know this girl, but her demeanor is somewhat similar to yours."

Gu Xia was stunned. "With me?"

She couldn't see it herself.

The nanny nodded. "Yeah, maybe beautiful people are all the same, but ugly people are all different."

Gu Xia smiled, "Mrs. Tong, you are becoming more and more humorous."

Mrs. Tong smiled and said, "Xu Yan wrote to me before, saying that she was going back to Coconut City, but she didn't know when she would come."

Gu Xia said, "She has to go to school, so the earliest she can come is the weekend. If she comes, she'll be going back to her grandmother's house."

Mrs. Tong: "It's better not to come here, so as not to make the old lady unhappy again."

Gu Xia didn't like Xu Yan very much, but Xu Yan's grandmother and Gu Xia's mother were close friends, so she had the opportunity to watch Xu Yan grow up.

When I was a child, I thought it didn’t matter if this child was a little spoiled, he was still cute.

When he grew up, he still had the same temper, and was spoiled and unreasonable. She felt that she had to teach her child well.

But it’s not easy for a child of this age to change his personality.

Since it’s not her own child, Gu Xia doesn’t interfere.

The image of Xu Yan in my mind was suddenly replaced by a young face.

After so many years, she still couldn't forget what she looked like.

…

On the last day of transporting supplies, Shen Congji and Liang Su set out on their journey home.

Liang Su had a great time playing in Coconut City for a few days, but he had no idea how big a thing had happened at the base.

We set off in the morning and arrived at the base in the afternoon.

Shen Congji was going to arrange supplies, so he just sent the things home and left in a hurry.

Liang Su was sorting things out at home and picking out the things to send to Aunt Tian's family.

She bought Aunt Tian a large can of clam oil produced locally in Coconut City, enough to last the whole winter.

There were also a few pieces of clothing, and even her husband, Brigade Commander Shao, got a coat.

The rest are mostly local specialties.
