"Oh dear, it's our job as young people to work hard outside, but we're just worried about the elderly at home."

As for me, I'm sure the leaders know my situation; my grandfather is still living in a cowshed.

Jiang Qiao's words were naturally understood by others.

"That won't do. Although your grandfather's social class is a bit high, Gu Hanting has a very good reputation. Your whole family is busy working for the country. The old man can't keep living in a cowshed. He's so old. He can raise such children and grandchildren. He must be a wise and righteous old man."

Don't worry, we'll issue the document today and let the old man go home to enjoy some family time. You are all heroes, and your elders are also the elders of heroes. They won't be staying in the cowshed anymore.

As for Ning Zhengtao, it's not a big deal. It's good that he knows he was wrong. This time, we'll issue a document to send the old man home.

Comrade Jiang Qiao, please feel free to make any further requests—

Jiang Qiao smiled and waved her hand, "I don't have any other ideas. I just want to do my best to show my filial piety. Our traditional virtue is to respect the elderly and care for the young, and this is no exception here."

I just want to let my elderly parents enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by their children and grandchildren while they are still alive.

Since you've both mentioned it, thank you very much. If anything comes up in the future, we can share what we need. I, Jiang Qiao, will definitely do my best to help.

Anyone can say nice things, let's say them first and see how things go later. Getting the old man out of there is the most important thing.

Ning Zhengtao and Gu Hanting never dreamed that on the same day, they would both receive a notice that they could go home. Even Gu Hanting was a little surprised by this outcome.

As Jiang Qiao and the others were walking back, the village also received the notification. Jiang Xiuqi rushed into the Gu family's courtyard with a happy expression. "Uncle, good news! The notification was just delivered. Take a look. You don't need to go to the cowshed anymore. We can live at home."

Ma Liu snatched the item from Jiang Xiuqi's hand, looked it over, and then stretched out his arm to hug Gu Hanting tightly.

"Brother, the good days we've been waiting for have finally arrived. Look, from now on, we can stay at home together and don't have to go to that place anymore."

Who is this person? They're so kind, how did they think of this? We need to find out more about them and give them a gift. They've helped us so much; we can't let their efforts go to waste.

Jiang Xiuqi knew the details, after all, the director had mentioned it to him and even sighed about it at length.

"Liu Zi, no need to thank me. Hurry up and prepare some good food. I feel like Jiang Qiao and the others will be back."

"Jiang Qiao is back? Didn't she say she had things to take care of?"

Suddenly, Ma Liu remembered, "Haozi and Jiang Qiao? It's those two. Haozi also made a contribution, right?"

Jiang Xiuqi nodded with a smile, "That's right. But Haozi didn't say it; Jiang Qiao brought it up. That child is thoughtful. The girl has been working hard all along and finally managed to get her grandfather out."

Moreover, I heard that Ning Hao's grandfather also benefited from this, Uncle Gu. We need to prepare a good meal for tonight; my dad and I are coming."

Gu Hanting's eyes were already brimming with tears. His granddaughter was so thoughtful, but the old man felt even more heartache for her. For the sake of this family and their social standing, this child was working incredibly hard. Their ancestors must have accumulated a lot of good karma to have such a promising and family-oriented child.

Ma Liu grinned and said, "That's right. Tell me what you want to eat, and if I can make it, I'll cook it for you."

Jiang Xiuqi didn't stand on ceremony with Ma Liu. "Uncle Liu, get more meat. We've been losing money on meat lately. By the way, I'll take a bath here tonight. My parents haven't bathed in ages. I'm worried they'll catch a cold if we do it at home. It'll be much better here—"

Ma Liu waved his hand and said generously, "No problem, bring your people over whenever you want to wash. We're family, no need to be polite."

Gu Hanting patted Jiang Xiuqi's hand and said, "Nephew, it's been hard for you to take care of me all these years."

Jiang Xiuqi felt embarrassed. "Uncle, I feel a little ashamed to say that. With so many people watching, even if I wanted to take care of her, I wouldn't dare to do so openly. If we're talking about who's more capable, it's your granddaughter. She dares to say anything and ask any question."

"But thankfully we have Jiang Qiao as our granddaughter. Otherwise, if it were me, I really don't know when I'd be able to let you come home."

When Qiao Jie, who was strolling outside, entered the courtyard, he saw Gu Hanting holding Ma Liu's hand and shedding tears.

"What happened? What's going on?"

When Ma Liu saw Qiao Jie come in, he was overjoyed. "Big brother, Lao Gu can move back home now. He said he's fine. Haozi and Jiang Qiao have both done a great job. I guess the second brother will be in the same situation."

The girl told her boss that she wasn't worried about anything while she was out there fighting, except for her elderly parents who were still living in a cowshed and couldn't enjoy family life. She said that her granddaughters couldn't take care of them.

The child also said that respecting the elderly and caring for the young are our traditional virtues. With that girl saying that, who would dare to challenge Jiang Qiao?

Hearing this, Qiao Jie couldn't help but laugh. "That sounds like what Jiang Qiao said. This girl is really outspoken. But that's good, she won't suffer any losses. As long as our child has a good heart, there's nothing to say."

Old Gu, what did I tell you? You didn't find your granddaughter for nothing, you're enjoying your retirement now, aren't you?

Gu Hanting nodded with a smile, "I never dreamed it would be so fast. If only our third son could have just been a little more patient—"

Qiao Jie sighed, walked over and patted Gu Hanting on the shoulder. "Brother, we have to look forward. What's past is past. Our grandson and son are both good kids. So, although there are regrets, there are also many surprises."

Life is not easy; it has its ups and downs. For the rest of our lives, I hope we can live a sweet and happy life.

Ma Liu chimed in, "That's right, Lao Gu. I'll help you move your luggage. Let's have a good meal tonight, brother. Maybe Qiao'er and the others can make it back."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up, pack up, move Lao Gu's things back, and let's prepare food and cook."

Sure enough, just as Jiang Xiuqi and the others had guessed, Ning Hao and Jiang Qiao returned much faster than he expected; they arrived at noon.

Hou Diankui got out of the car and rushed into the yard. When he saw Ma Liu, the old man greeted him happily, "Liu Zi, where's Lao Gu?"

Ma Liu chuckled, "Going to move the luggage. The captain already told us that Old Gu doesn't have to live in the cowshed anymore. From now on, he can live like a normal person—"

Hou Diankui turned and left, saying, "I have to go help."
