He Ling looked at the plate of braised pork, which was brightly colored and full of fragrance. "Chun, how did you cook this meat? It looks so good."

Gu Chun explained the recipe to her, and she shook her head. "It's too much sugar and meat. It takes too much material."

I know that she is used to being frugal, and she would only stew meat if she has it, and would never make braised dishes that consume a lot of oil and sugar.

Gu Chun didn't say anything either.

When your life gets better in the future, you will naturally be willing to let go.

After dinner, Gu Chun discussed with his family that he would return to North City the next day.

Now my uncle and aunt both have to go to work in the food factory, and Gu Xia’s free clinic is almost over.

So the children also planned to go home together.

The aunt hugged Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi, feeling reluctant to leave. It was rare to have children at home, and it was lively and cheerful. Wouldn’t it be lonely once they left?

The children also don’t want to leave their aunt. They have food and fun here and are very happy.

But they also missed their friends in North City.

Finally, the family chatted for a long time reluctantly.

The next morning, He Ling prepared packages for them and stuffed them with sugar-roasted chestnuts she had made, the method taught by Gu Chun.

She also had some dried mushrooms herself and packed a basket of vegetables for them.

Unable to refuse such kindness, Gu Chun finally boarded the bus home, carrying his aunt's love with him.

Uncle Gu was worried about the children and planned to send them back.

Gu Zhenzhu followed her cousin in asking for leave and went with her this time.

Xiao Zhuzi and Gu Dong went to say goodbye to Gu Qinghai, and Qinghai was crying.

Xiao Zhuzi gave him the picture book he brought and said that she would write to him in the future. Only then did he stop.

Gu Xia also said goodbye to his only friend Gu Qingyun, because he heard that Qingyun wanted to drop out of school, and Gu Xia encouraged him to continue studying.

I also gave him my reading notes and asked him to keep in touch.

Qingyun felt that Gu Xia was the most special person he had met in the short first half of his life. He was not talkative, but he understood everything.

He seems very aloof, but he treats me as a friend and is so nice to me.

Qingyun became even more certain that Gu Xia would be his lifelong friend.

Since Gu Xia has good academic performance, he cannot fall behind.

Doctor Zhang has been obsessed with the herbs in the mountains recently. When Gu Xia went to tell him that she was going back to the city, he hadn't picked enough.

"Disciple, go back with your sisters first. I will stay with Lao Xiao for a few more days."

Xiao Guocheng was not mentally prepared to return to the city yet, so he nodded when he heard this.

"Yeah, we'll go back in a few days.

But you have to tell my little disciple that he must get up and practice every day. He must not be lazy."

Gu Xia had no choice but to agree.

…………

When they went back, it was not the starting station and there were not enough seats, so Gu Chun sat down with Xiao Zhuzi on his lap.

Gu Dong and Gu Qiu squeezed into one seat.

Gu Zhenzhu sat alone, holding something.

Uncle Gu and Gu Xia just stood there.

When we passed the next stop, a middle-aged woman with short hair helped an old lady get on.

Gu Zhenzhu quickly gave her her seat.

The old lady was very kind, "Thank you, little girl."

The middle-aged woman also thanked her politely.

Gu Zhenzhu shook her head and said you're welcome.

Seeing that they were all together, the old lady asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Chun saw that they were neat and tidy, seemed to have good family conditions, and spoke very politely.

Then he smiled and said, "Let's go to North City. This is my uncle."

This is the advantage of taking a strong man with you when you go out. Even if others have some ill intentions towards you, they will consider whether they can afford to offend you.

The middle-aged woman, Hu Chunlan, glanced at her and thought that this girl was quite alert and not stupid.

At this time, she also had a good impression of these people, so she nodded and greeted them.

Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi greeted her, "Hello, Auntie, Hello, Grandma."

The old lady liked the two children because they were fair and clean. "Oh, are these your younger brother and sister? They are so handsome."

Gu Chun smiled, "Yes, they are my younger brothers and sisters."

After the conversation, Gu Chun learned that the old lady was going to the countryside with her daughter to visit distant relatives.

They also all live in the North City.

The old lady really liked Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi. When she got off the bus, she gave her an address and kept reminding her to visit their house when she had time.

Gu Chun had no choice but to agree. That place was quite close to the supply and marketing cooperative, so he could go and see the old lady next time he passed by.

When they arrived at the station, they first sent Gu Zhenzhu to the garment factory and then returned to the compound.

The uncle sat down, drank a glass of water and left. No one could stop him. He said he had to go back to deliver the goods.

Gu Chun sorted out the things his aunt had given him and saw that the bag of dried mushrooms contained such good stuff as morels and matsutake mushrooms, mixed with shiitake mushrooms and black fungus.

Those vegetables are very fresh, they were picked this morning, and now it's hot, they can't be kept.

So she divided it into several portions and planned to give them to neighbors like Aunt Guo.

The children divided the work and started cleaning.

Although Xiaozhuzi is small, he is very capable.

He was wiping the tables and chairs with a small rag.

Gu Qiu went to the kitchen to help light the fire and started the stove first.

Gu Xia went to tidy up the room. When he came back this time, Gu Chun had already discussed with him that men and women should live separately.

Gu Chun lived in the big room with his two younger sisters, while Gu Xia slept in the small room with Xiao Zhuzi.

Xiao Zhuzi was still trying hard to wipe the table, not knowing what he would encounter tonight.

Gu Chun was very satisfied to see the children working in an orderly manner. He raised his brother for a thousand days and used him for a moment.
