The man who came was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair, but he was energetic. His straight back and firm steps showed that he was from the army.

Master Xiao was very surprised to see his old friend, "Gu Tieniu, this is such a coincidence."

Gu Tieniu held Master Xiao's hand, smiling broadly.

"Old Xiao, we haven't seen each other for many years. I asked about your news and heard that you have been rehabilitated.

But they said you didn't want to come back and wanted to live in the countryside. So why are you here?"

"It's a long story. Let's go have a cup of tea and I'll tell you."

Gu Tieniu immediately ordered the guard to find a place to park the car. He followed Xiao Guocheng on foot and soon arrived at the teahouse that Master Xiao often went to.

As soon as we walked in, the waiter greeted us, "Hey, Master Xiao is here. Did Xiao Zhuzi go to school? Last time he said he wanted to eat that snack, and we have it today."

Master Xiao nodded and said, "Xiao Zhuzi is going to school. When I leave later, please pack some for me to take back."

"Oh, okay."

The two old men walked in and sat down. Gu Tieniu then asked, "Old Xiao, you seem very familiar with this place. Did you move in here?"

Master Xiao nodded, "Yes, I am living at my apprentice's house now."

"Little disciple?"

Master Xiao told him these things.

After hearing this, Gu Tieniu somehow developed a strong liking for this little disciple he was talking about.

"Your little apprentice sounds very good, can I meet him?"

Master Xiao knew that Gu Tieniu was in a high position now, so it would not be a bad idea to let the children of the Gu family get to know him.

"Okay, then come to Gu's house one day and meet my little apprentice."

Gu Tieniu asked the guard to write down the address and planned to go over and take a look at it on the weekend.

I was concerned about my old friend's current situation, but I was also curious about the children of the Gu family he mentioned.

He always felt that if he didn't go, he would miss something...

Sure enough, as soon as the weekend came, Gu Tieniu became restless early in the morning.

The eldest daughter-in-law Jiang Zhimei had just gotten up. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Tieniu didn't know what was wrong with him. He had dreamed of his deceased wife again last night, with a child beside her. He couldn't sleep and got up early in the morning. Thinking about going to see his old friend's young apprentice today, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something big was going to happen today.

But he couldn't explain what was wrong with him, and he didn't want his daughter-in-law to worry about him, so he shook his head.

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Jiang Zhimei frowned, "Why don't you go back and get some sleep?"

"It's okay, I'll just eat something, don't worry."

“.......”

As soon as he finished breakfast, Gu Tieniu called his guard and drove to the address given by Xiao Guocheng.

It was the weekend and after a week of classes, Gu Chun planned to stay at home.

She was tilling the soil in the yard with a few children, planning to plant some vegetables.

Maybe it was because she came from a family of flower growers, but when she looked at the land in the yard, she always felt it would be a shame not to plant something.

Gu Xia wants to grow medicinal herbs, but there are not many suitable seedlings, so he has to find time to go to the mountains to look.

Gu Chun thought of growing some vegetables first so that he wouldn’t have to go out to buy them when he wanted to eat them in the future.

Master Xiao volunteered. He had been in the countryside for so long that growing vegetables was no longer a problem for him.

So he was the one who guided us.

Master Xiao was directing the children with his hands behind his back. He was so happy that he even forgot that Gu Tieniu had said he would come over.

So when he heard the knock on the door, he hadn't thought about this at all and directly sent the trouble-making little Zhuzi to open the door.

Gu Tieniu was feeling uneasy when he heard a childish voice.

"Here you are, who is it?"

He felt a sense of wonder in his heart, and when he looked again, a child opened the door.

Looking at the child in front of him, he was shocked. This child looked 90% similar to his dead wife.

Small mouth, round nose, but because they haven't fully grown yet, there is no similarity in face shape.

Gu Tieniu's voice softened unconsciously. "Hello, little friend, are you Little Bamboo?"

Little Zhuzi relied on his intuition to feel that this grandpa was not a bad person, so he tilted his head,

"Yes, I'm Xiao Zhuzi, Grandpa, who are you?"

For some reason, when he heard him calling him grandpa, Gu Tieniu felt like crying.

"I'm Xiao Guocheng's friend, and I came to see you."

Xiao Zhuzi opened the door and let Gu Tieniu and the guard in, holding his hand.

"Grandpa, come with me. Master is growing vegetables in the yard."

Gu Tieniu looked at the house. It was large enough and had an antique feel. It was obvious that there were no unnecessary modern decorations.

I also remembered what Xiao Guocheng said, that Xiao Zhuzi's family had no parents and only an older sister to support the family.

They can live in such a house, so I guess the older sister must be a very capable person.

But he didn't expect that the capable elder sister was actually such a young girl, and her eyes were very similar to his wife's.

Her eyes curved, "Hello, Grandpa Gu, welcome to our home."

Gu Tieniu seemed to be back to the day when he first met his wife Ding Hui. She smiled and said,

"Hello, Captain Gu."

After being distracted for a moment, he recovered and said, "Hey, hello, Comrade Gu Chun."

Gu Chun shook hands with him and felt very honored. Master Xiao said that his friend held a high position and was an important figure in the Chinese military.
