As for Gu Chun, he happily took the Gu family scouts to the state-owned restaurant.

Gu Dong was so excited that she jumped up and down along the way. Many of her classmates had never eaten in a state-owned restaurant. After all, she, Gu Dong, was the boss, and she must show off when she returned to the Yuhong class.

Gu Qiu was a little afraid of spending money: "Sister, do we really have to go to the state-owned restaurant? I heard that the food there is very expensive. Why don't we just eat at home?"

Gu Chun waved her hand and said generously: "It's okay, I've made a lot of money, and a meal doesn't cost much, just eat it with peace of mind."

Only then did Gu Qiu nod.

Gu Xia was still silent, but there was a more peaceful smile on his face, and he never had any objection to his sister's decision.

After experiencing such a great emotional trauma, his recovery brought him a broader world and he became less affected by fame or disgrace.

Soon they arrived at the state-owned restaurant. As the weather got colder, the restaurant began to serve mutton hotpot.

They ordered one meal and added another serving of dumplings, paying twelve yuan.

Gu Qiu felt sad because their family didn’t even spend twelve yuan a month on groceries.

Seeing his sister's frown, Gu Chun said with a smile, "Don't think too much. We are celebrating your sister making money. It's not like we eat every day. It's a rare occasion. Be happy."

"Qiu'er, eat. It's okay. We have to trust our sister." Gu Xia picked up a piece of mutton for her and comforted her.

"Yeah, then let's eat. I wish my sister success in her career and hope that she can become a high-ranking official in the future." Gu Qiu also smiled. This was a happy thing and there was no need to think too much about it.

"Be good." Gu Chun touched her head. This little sister is becoming more and more cheerful now. It can be seen that she is doing well in Teacher Wei's class. I heard that she has made some friends.

Over there, Gu Dong was waving his little spoon and eating so much that he couldn't even open his mouth.

Gu Chun gave Xiao Zhuzi a piece of minced meat and let him chew it for fun. It was definitely impossible to let him eat too much, as his current staple food was still milk powder.

It is a great pleasure to eat a hot mutton hotpot in the winter. The mutton is fresh goat, with a milky aroma and tender meat. The dumplings are also filled with mutton and celery, which tastes crispy and delicious.

The family had a delicious meal and chatted on the way home. Gu Chun looked at the darkening sky. Surrounded by his lifelong family, he suddenly felt full of strength for the future. However, his eyelids kept twitching, and he felt like something was about to happen.

As soon as they returned to the compound, they saw a broad figure standing at the door of their house.

The man looked very tall, probably about 1.8 meters tall. The clothes he was wearing were neither new nor old, and there were no patches on them, but it was obvious that he was from the countryside because his shoes were covered in mud.

Hearing the voice, the man turned his head. Gu Chun thought he looked familiar and thought he should be someone the original owner knew in his memory.

Gu Xia opened his mouth: "Uncle."

It turned out that this was their father's eldest brother, Uncle Gu. Gu Chun remembered that the last time he saw him was two years ago. He brought a basket of vegetables, sat at home for a while and then left.

My father seems to have a good relationship with him. They talk and laugh together, and he always mentions him.

This is very strange. Since they have a good relationship, why has this uncle never appeared since her parents had the accident?

Gu Chun was also on guard: "It's Uncle, why are you here?"

Uncle Gu looked at the children. He hadn't seen them for two years and they had grown so big. He had never seen the little one. He guessed that the child was already in his sister-in-law's belly when he came.

He walked over, a little trembling: "Chun, where are your parents?" He still didn't want to believe that his brother was gone. Although he had heard the neighbors talk about it when he came to the compound, he hoped to hear from his niece that it was all fake.

Gu Chun was a little surprised. Didn’t he know yet?

"Uncle, my parents have been dead for more than half a year."

Uncle Gu staggered a little and fell silent again. Gu Chun opened the door and invited him in.

"Uncle, come in, it's too cold outside."

Uncle Gu walked in silently again. Only when the light came on did he see Gu Xiaozhu's appearance. He was instantly delighted because this child looked exactly like his father when he was a child.

Seeing him reminds me of that time when I was only six or seven years old, and I took Xiao Linzi with me wherever I went every day.

"Can I hug him?" Uncle Gu looked at Xiao Zhuzi and stretched out his hand.

Little Bamboo seemed to know him and leaned over to be hugged by him.

Uncle Gu held little Zhuzi in his arms and calmed down. He was the elder, and since his younger brother was gone, he had to take care of these children, not to mention that his parents and his younger brother's wife were trying to trick his eldest niece.

Seeing Uncle Gu's reaction, Gu Chun also believed him about 80%. He saw that Xiao Zhuzi's eyes were red, but she was embarrassed to cry in front of these juniors.

"Uncle, didn't you know this before?"

Uncle Gu got angry when talking about this. His parents and his third brother's family kept it from him. The villagers were not familiar with Gu Lin and did not know about these things. As a result, it took him more than half a year to find out that his brother was gone.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know. I went to repair the ditch before. I just came back today and heard your cousin Pearl tell me about it."

He looked at Gu Xia and Gu Qiu again: "Children, come here."

Gu Xia was the one most familiar with Uncle Gu. After all, he was a boy. He was eleven years old when he came last time. Uncle Gu even held him in his arms and sat for a while. He had also held him in his arms when he was a child.

His parents had just passed away at that time, and he also wondered why his uncle didn't come.

Now, hearing that Uncle Gu didn't mean to avoid seeing them, they came over, as if they had found support, crying, "Uncle, Mom and Dad are gone."
