Gu Huailin felt so happy today, not only because he had his father, but also because he had his mother.
He hoped that the happy moments would last longer, and he was really afraid that the happiness would disappear when he opened his eyes.
When Gu Lingxiao went to pay the bill, he also bought some meat buns to take back and save for later that evening.
They walked out of the state-run hotel.
Lu Zhixia said, "Give me the house key. I'll go pack the kids' clothes tomorrow."
Gu Lingxiao decisively took out the key and placed it in her palm. "You can do whatever you want with the things in the house."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then I'll pack up their things and throw them out."
Gu Lingxiao: "Suit yourself. If they need anything, let them come to me!"
They stood by the roadside, and Lu Zhixia turned to him and said, "You'll be taking a car back to the army soon! Don't worry about the child, leave him with me!"
Gu Lingxiao reached out and patted his son's head. "You must listen to Aunt Xia!"
Gu Huailin pretended to understand and asked, "Dad, why is it Aunt Xia? Can't I call her Mom now?"
Gu Lingxiao: ...
The child seemed smarter than he had imagined; thinking back on what had happened, the child was incredibly good at hiding his true feelings.
He hadn't noticed it before, but it's not too late to notice now; he needs to guide the child out of this situation.
"If you want to shout, then shout."
Lu Zhixia thought it was too early.
"Mom!" Gu Huailin shouted happily.
"Wouldn't that be bad?" Lu Zhixia said to Gu Lingxiao. "I mean, wouldn't it have a negative impact on you? What if we—"
"I will not leave you!" Gu Lingxiao said.
Lu Zhixia thought this guy was really domineering at times.
A taxi stopped in front of them, so they got in.
They soon arrived at the tenement building. Gu Lingxiao told the driver and then went upstairs with them.
The people in the tenement building were all curious about what was going on when they saw Lu Zhixia bring a little boy back.
But you can't ask people directly, so you can only think about it in your mind.
After everyone went upstairs, some people started to gather together and quietly chirp crickets.
"Why did Lu Zhixia bring a child back?"
"This child is probably not her child."
"Yes, it shouldn't be. Her child came last time, and didn't look like this!"
"She's really lucky; she was able to find a soldier after her divorce!"
"Absolutely! If we had that kind of luck, I'd divorce my wife too!"
"Just think about it! If you actually dare to say that, he'll break your legs!"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and then went on to discuss other matters. Lu Zhixia taking the child back to the tenement building was just a minor incident.
Su Lan was picking chives in the corridor when she saw them come back with a child who looked to be about five or six years old. The child was quite handsome.
She quickly stood up because her child was prettier than her own two children.
What are you doing here?
Lu Zhixia didn't want to discuss past events in front of the child, so she told her...
"Sister Lan, I'll tell you the details later."
Su Lan nodded knowingly; she knew it was inconvenient to talk about this.
Lu Zhixia opened the door with her key and let the child in. The bed in the room was a bit small for two adults, but it was more than enough for a child.
Gu Lingxiao put the things on the ground and gave his son another instruction.
"You must listen to me and not run around."
"Dad, I understand! You can go back to your unit without worry!"
Gu Lingxiao said to Lu Zhixia, "Then I'll head back first. I might not come back tomorrow; we'll see how things go!"
Lu Zhixia felt a little uncomfortable thinking about how they had spent the past few days together and the sudden separation.
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Lingxiao turned and left. He didn't want to separate, but he had no choice. Fortunately, he had finally taken the first step. The second step should be getting past his parents.
I quickly got on the minibus back and realized that the past few days had passed too quickly. I started thinking about Lu Zhixia and wondered what she was doing now!
——
Lu Zhixia introduced Gu Huailin to the children, and then they played together in the house.
Lu Zhixia and Su Lan continued picking chives outside.
"What exactly happened?" Su Lan asked.
"The situation is like this—" Lu Zhixia took about 10 minutes to finish speaking.
Su Lan cursed, "That woman is not even human! God should take her away!"
Lu Zhixia went back into the room, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of water.
"The person is already locked up, and it feels like he won't be out for at least three to five years. He's just lucky to have the current good policies."
"It's true that things are stricter now; even the slightest thing can get you locked up." Su Lan felt a surge of anger, thinking about how that woman might not get out for three to five years. Looking at the children in the room...
“Yuanyuan’s eyesight is much better than before. She can see blurry figures now. Grandpa Bai and the doctors at the hospital say that it is very likely that her vision will return to what it was before.”
"This is a good thing!" Lu Zhixia turned her head and looked into the house, where several children were squatting on the ground playing with bouncy balls.
They dug a small hole in the ground, and whoever could shoot a marble into it would win.
Gu Huailin squatted there with an excited look on his face, having a great time playing with them.
Su Lan also saw the situation inside the house. "This child is lucky to have met you. Because you are all kind people, you will definitely take good care of them."
Lu Zhixia said, "I don't think so. Maybe it's the children who healed us."
Su Lan hadn't dared to ask before, but now she had to, "Any clues about the child?"
