Seeing how much she wanted it, Gu Rong thought of giving her another piece.

At this moment, Chu Jianshu returned from next door, his face showing a hint of joy.

Looking at the people in the kitchen, she said directly, "The house is almost finished, we just need to pick a good day. Xiao Rong, which day do you think is good?"

Gu Rong glanced at him: "It's your own house, you can choose the date yourself, I don't know anything about these things."

Chu Jianshu just wanted to strike up a conversation; he didn't expect Gu Rongzhen to choose a date for him.

He then turned to Han Xinyi and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't understand these things either. Could you please help me find someone to take a look?"

"Wait a minute," Han Xinyi put down the spatula and ran to her room to get the calendar.

As he walked, he flipped through the pages, then pointed to July 27th: "This day is good, suitable for breaking ground. The 29th is also a good day for construction. Both of these days are fine."

Han Xinyi glanced at it, then turned to Gu Rong and asked, "Xiao Rong, I remember this day is my birthday, right?"

"Hmm, sister-in-law actually remembered?" Gu Rong was surprised that Han Xinyi knew her birthday.

"Your brother said it, and he even told you..." Han Xinyi said, glancing at the people around her, then slapping her forehead:

"Look at my brain, how could I say that? Just pretend you didn't know, and whatever you do, don't tell your brother that I mentioned it."

“Okay, I don’t know whose birthday it is in two days,” Gu Rong agreed with a smile, then pointed to the food in the pot: “Sister-in-law, it’ll burn if you don’t stir it soon.”

"Yes, yes, yes," Han Xinyi said while cooking, instructing Cao Baobao, Chu Jianshu, and Han Xinyun, "Don't mention it either, but you can come over for dinner that day."

"Yes, I'll definitely come," Cao Baobao didn't refuse this time, after all, Gu Rong was her good friend.

Of course I'd come to my good friend's birthday party, but choosing a birthday present is a bit tricky!

If she were in Beijing, she would definitely send some scarves, clothes, or something similar.

But here.....

She looked at the clothes at the supply and marketing cooperative a while ago. Not only were the clothes not nice, but the scarves were also old-fashioned and unsuitable.

I really don't know what to give as a gift!!!

Chu Jianshu, who was standing next to him, was also troubled.

He really didn't know Gu Rong's birthday.

With the day after tomorrow fast approaching, I really don't know what to give as a gift.

Giving a random gift won't show my sincerity, and if I give something too expensive, Gu Rong definitely won't accept it. I'm so worried.

It's quite amazing that the original owner's birthday is the same day as hers.

However, judging by the dates, Gu Qiang and Bai Rou should arrive on her birthday.

For her, it was just an ordinary birthday; whether she celebrated it or not made no difference, and there was nothing to look forward to.

Judging from Han Xinyi's words, it seems that Gu Xing and Han Xinyi want to give her a proper birthday celebration.

It's probably because Gu Xing felt it was a way to compensate for the guilt he had felt over the years.

If these two things happen together, it will probably be too late by then.

Who knows how shameless Gu Qiang will become by then? Thinking about the empty rooms in the house, I can't help but wonder if the other party will move in.

Thinking about Han Yanru and Han Zhenglian, one couldn't stand to see her doing well, and the other was trying to smooth things over, plus Gu Jiazhen, it was going to be quite a show.

The meal was enjoyable despite the different thoughts and feelings of the participants.

Before leaving, Chu Jianshu told Gu Xing that the house would be topped out on the 29th, and asked him to help out then.

When a house is being topped out, elders are usually asked to help. Even though the villagers are older, they are still outsiders to him.

But Gu Xing was different; in his heart, this person was considered an elder in the family.

Gu Xing didn't understand these things, but since the other party had asked, he didn't refuse.

After everyone left, Gu Rong took Gu Xing to the room and told her about Gu Qiang's visit.

Gu Xing didn't know how his sister knew, but from what she said, it was true.

Although they have published a statement in the newspaper severing ties, and even have a certificate issued by the Public Security Bureau, they are no longer related in a national sense.

But the blood ties remain, and in the eyes of the villagers, they will always be father and son, father and daughter, and that cannot be severed.

Moreover, when my sister came, she mentioned that she had reported the two of them.

If they don't have anyone to help them, based on what the sister said, Gu Qiang and his sister will either be executed or sent to a farm. Even Gu Jiazhen will be implicated. Even if they sever ties, they will still be investigated.

During this period, Gu Jiazhen remained silent in the village, and no one came to investigate, which made him feel that something was wrong.

But he didn't know anyone else in Beijing, and his sister had been sent to the countryside, so he had no way to check on her.

I just didn't expect that these two would be going to the countryside; it's obvious that someone did this on purpose.

They were just ordinary people, even if their maternal grandfather's family was rich and powerful back then.

But my mother severed ties with them and never saw them again. Everything was no longer their concern. What were these people trying to do?

But to be honest, Gu Xing still couldn't believe it: "Xiao Rong, are you sure the report was submitted back then?"

"They were sent up. When the train started moving, I saw Bai Rou being taken away." Actually, she didn't see it. It was A Xi who told her that Gu Qiang and Bai Rou were arrested.

When Gu Qiang and Bai Rou came this time, it was the other party who told them that this matter must be true.

Seeing Gu Xing struggling with the situation, Gu Rong decided not to hide it any longer and took out the box that had been buried from the bedside table.

He opened the box, took out the letter inside, and gave it to Gu Xing: "Brother, you can read the contents of this letter, and you'll know what they're planning."

Gu Xing picked up the envelope and opened it. The first one was from his mother, filled with her care and love for him and his sister, as well as her plans for their future.
