Chapter 241 I Must Be the Chosen One

"Wife, we killed a wild boar yesterday. Tomorrow the logistics department will kill another boar and give me 20 kilograms of meat. Together with the meat coupons I exchanged before, it will be 40 kilograms of meat."

Gu Xiaoxi immediately reminded him, "Then you should only bring back ten kilograms, and put the rest in the space."

"good!"

While the atmosphere was good here, Yin Chunsheng's family was in chaos.

When Yin Chunsheng received the news that his mother-in-law was coming at noon, he was shocked beyond words.

But since everyone was here, he couldn't help but go to pick them up.

I could go to the army to borrow a car, but I couldn’t get one because I applied too late.

With no other options, he had to ask a friend in the transport team for help and asked him to pick the person up directly at the train station.

Gu Xinli was cleaning the house and preparing food.

At this moment, she had only one thought in mind: she must not be outdone by Gu Xiaoxi.

Yin Chunsheng also wanted to make a good impression on his mother-in-law, so he arranged for the two boys in the family to clean together.

Only Old Lady Yin sat on the kang, eating melon seeds with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Because her son was at home, she restrained her dissatisfaction and at least did not curse anyone.

When she saw Gu Xinli making the bed, Old Lady Yin had something to say.

"My quilt is for sleeping alone. I am old and feel young. It is not good to sleep with more than one person."

Yin Chunsheng whispered, "When your two younger brothers come, they can sleep with Tiezi and my younger brother, squeezing into two quilts. As for your mother, we'll move one of the quilts in our room for her to sleep on. As for your grandmother..."

"Look, can your grandma ask your cousin to give you a quilt?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Lady Yin couldn't help but say, "She's not just your grandmother. Deputy Tuan's family conditions are much better than ours. In my opinion, your grandmother should live with them."

Gu Xinli frowned, "Gu Xiaoxi's grandfather also joined the army. There are only two rooms in their house, so they won't let my grandma sleep there."

"Then let them provide their own quilts and food. They can't just eat for free in our house." Old Mrs. Yin snorted.

Gu Xinli's face just sank.

Although she didn't want her grandmother to live at home, she was still very unhappy when Yin Chunsheng's mother said this.

Yin Chunsheng also looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to tell his mother, so he comforted Gu Xinli.

"My mother's words may sound harsh, but there's nothing we can do about it. You and the children have spent too much money on hospitalization. We've been living very hard this year."

"As long as we wait until next year, our lives will be better!"

Now he has a space, which will be very convenient for him to bring things when he goes on a mission or to take something home.

He believes that his future life will get better and better!

He believed that he must be the chosen one!

The current difficulties are only temporary!

Gu Xinli certainly wanted Gu Xiaoxi to contribute money, effort and food, but...

Every family's situation is different, especially hers.

She explained to Yin Chunsheng with a headache, "My grandma has disliked Gu Xiaoxi since she was a child, and Gu Xiaoxi doesn't like her either. If we let my grandma go to live with Gu Xiaoxi, she will not only scold me, but also you, and it will have a bad impact on the family compound."

"How about this, my grandma can choose where to live. Anyway, even if she lives in our house, she will definitely go to Gu Xiaoxi's house to get things. My grandma going there on her own is different from us asking her to go there. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yin Chunsheng immediately understood that Gu Xinli wanted to save his face and not let others find fault with him and accuse him of being unfilial.

He hugged her with emotion, "I understand. Then we will invite your grandma to live in our home."

Old Mrs. Yin found this scene unbearable to watch and thought Gu Xinli was a vixen.

However, she didn't say anything, after all, what Gu Xinli said seemed to make some sense.

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Xiaoxi finally waited for his parents and grandfather.

It’s so exciting to see the whole family meet!

When Jiang Xiuqing saw the yard that looked old but clean, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The place where her daughter lived was much smaller than she had imagined.

When she saw the beautiful, tidy but empty kitchen, she was stunned at first, and then she laughed.

"Smart!" She smiled and tapped her daughter's head.

Grandpa Jiang also smiled, and did not feel sad or unhappy at all because there was nothing in this house.

However, Gu Yimin couldn't help but sigh.

It's really unfair to my own daughter!

Lu Jiansen brought the ginger-jujube tea he had prepared early in the morning to his grandfather and parents, and then sat beside them to talk.

Gu Xiaoxi added some charcoal to the brazier and used the heat-gathering technique again before asking questions.

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you haven't had lunch yet! Whether you want rice, noodles, or porridge, I have prepared them all."

"We ate some egg cakes your brother brought on the way, so we're not hungry yet. How about we have dinner later?" Jiang Xiuqing said.

"No, that won't work. Let's eat now. Let's have dinner together and early."

As she spoke, she brought out six large bowls of purple rice and a pot of pickled vegetables.

"Grandpa, this purple rice is nutritious and soft. Try it."

Gu Dachuan was stunned. "Sister, you prepared for two days, and you let parents and grandpa eat salted vegetables?"

Gu Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow, "What do you know? This pickled vegetable is also very delicious!"

A smile flashed across Grandpa Jiang's eyes. He pulled out his chopsticks and saw the fried egg and the shelled prawns at the bottom of the bowl.

Gu Dachuan didn't understand and curled his lips.

No matter how delicious the salted vegetables are, can they be as delicious as the meat?

However, even so, he still took a bite of the food in the bowl.

You know what, this purple rice tastes quite delicious, soft and fragrant.

But he still likes to eat white rice!

While the family was having dinner, there was a knock on the door.

When Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyes, she heard Gu Xinli's voice coming from outside.

"Xiaoxi, have your parents arrived yet? How long will it take for grandma and my mom to arrive?"

Gu Xinli spoke very loudly, as if she wanted everyone to know that Gu Xiaoxi had only picked up her parents and not her grandmother.

Lu Jiansen glanced at Gu Dachuan, who immediately understood and stood up to open the door.

When Gu Xinli came in and saw Gu Xiaoxi and the others were already eating, she was stunned.

But he soon began to greet the three elders, "Hello, Grandpa Jiang, Uncle and Aunt. You must be tired from the journey here! How is Grandma?"

"Didn't you go to pick up your grandma? That was impossible, right? Your mother shouted at the top of her voice that your man is a high-ranking official and could send someone to pick her up." Jiang Xiuqing asked back.

Gu Xinli quickly replied, "I've sent someone to pick her up. I just came to see you."

However, when she saw there was only a bowl of pickled vegetables on their table, she was a little bit unbelieving.
