Chapter 309: Peaceful Years
"I...I..." Gu Tinghuai's earlobes were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out of them. His eyes were vague and he looked like a guilty thief.
"Tsk, stop it, big brother. I feel embarrassed for you when you do this." Gu Xihuai looked at Gu Tinghuai with disdain. The atmosphere has become so tense, but he is still calling you and me. It's really disappointing!
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and said slowly, "Eat quickly, the buns are getting cold."
Gu Zhifeng laughed and greeted him, "Haha, yes, let's eat."
Bai Mei sipped the rice porridge, looked at the fried eggs on the table, the fragrant buns, listened to the laughing and joking voices of her friends around her, and unexpectedly felt a sense of calmness she had never felt before. This is probably what it means to live a peaceful life, right?
However, the silence at the dinner table lasted only a moment.
Gu Xihuai thought about what happened in the brigade today, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Yuehuai, Chen Yin is getting married today."
Gu Yuehuai suppressed the smile on his lips and said in a faint voice: "Really?"
She had no good feelings towards Chen Yin. She was like a knife, helping Tian Jing to charge into battle and do many things. It was also her fault that she was disfigured in her previous life. However, karma would eventually pay off, and she eventually paid the price for her domineering behavior.
Liu Daze is a fool, and this alone is a lifelong stain for the arrogant Chen Yin.
She had witnessed her former enemies receiving the punishment they deserved one after another, except Tian Jing.
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and forced himself to leave this person behind for the time being.
She has a lot to do, revenge is just one of them. Tian Jing has now gone to the capital under the protection of Song Jinan. It is thousands of miles away and she may not see her again for several years. There is no need for her to worry about her. It is not worth it.
One day, the two will meet again, and by then, there will definitely be a result.

Gu Xihuai originally wanted to talk more about how chaotic Chen Yin's wedding was today, but seeing that she didn't seem very interested, he smacked his lips, stopped talking about it, and started eating quietly.
After the group finished their meal, it was time for Bai Mei to go home. It was a dark and windy night, and people naturally worried about her going back alone as a girl, so Gu Tinghuai volunteered to take on the job, and Bai Mei did not refuse, and the two left one after the other.
There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside, especially in winter. It seems unnecessary to enjoy the cool air because people just go to bed after dinner.
Gu Yuehuai heated up the water, and after everyone washed up, Yan Shaoli took Yan Shaotang to bed first.
Gu Xihuai went back to the room and talked to Yan Shaoyang. He loved reading, and Yan Shaoyang did the same. The two of them got along really well together. They wouldn't feel bored even if they stayed in the room for the whole day. It felt like they had met each other too late.
Gu Yuehuai took some time to go out, entered the Sumeru space to harvest some crops, and then re-sown them before returning from behind the house.
As soon as she came back, she saw Gu Zhifeng sitting in the yard, looking up at the sky.
There was no trace of a smile on his face, only a complex bitterness. Just one look at him and Gu Yuehuai knew what he was thinking. He was remembering that today was Lin Jinshu's birthday. He always did the same thing every year on this day.
Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly. She really didn't expect that even after Lin Jinshu proposed to take her away, Gu Zhifeng was still thinking about her. Thinking about what happened at Qin's house today, her eyes dimmed and she walked towards Gu Zhifeng.
Hearing footsteps, Gu Zhifeng turned around: "Nannan? Where have you been? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled: "You didn't sleep either?" She moved a chair and sat next to him, chatting calmly: "Dad, are you thinking about Lin Jinshu again? After all these years, you haven't forgotten her birthday."
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Gu Yuehuai.
He did know that today was Lin Jinshu's birthday. He tossed and turned on the kang for a long time yesterday, and now he can't sleep. His mind is full of all the details of his and Lin Jinshu's birthdays when they were young.
Their two families were old friends, and before they got married, he would often prepare her favorite gifts to celebrate her birthday.
Moreover, he proposed to her on her birthday and she accepted him on that day.
When I think back to the past now, it feels like being pricked by needles, with a sharp and intense pain.
Gu Zhifeng wiped his face, waved his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, Dad just can't sleep."
Gu Yuehuai just looked at him quietly, and looked at the tears flashing in Gu Zhifeng's eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable, but would Lin Jinshu look back? No, the Qin family was indeed a mess, but Qin Wanjiang was really good to Lin Jinshu.
Therefore, her father's love throughout his life was destined to be hopeless and fruitless. She hoped that he could be happy, but if there was no result, then he would have to find another way and not be stuck in a dead end for the rest of his life.
Gu Yuehuai was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Dad, let me go."
Gu Zhifeng paused and did not answer her, but his head slowly drooped. He pulled the corners of his mouth into a self-deprecating smile. Yes, even he and her child did not think highly of his relationship. What was the point of continuing to insist?
Wanting Gu Zhifeng to give up, Gu Yuehuai did not hide it and said, "Lin Jinshu came to see me today."
"What does she want you to do?" Gu Zhifeng's face turned pale. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Lin Jinshu said to him when Gu Jia got married last time. For a moment, his face and legs began to tremble slightly. He was a little scared, afraid that his daughter would really leave.
However, when he thought of the Qin family, he felt that his thoughts were extremely selfish.
Gu Yuehuai said calmly: "Dad, isn't he very clear about this?"
After that, she shrugged again, and every word she said was like a sharp blade: "Besides, Lin Jinshu likes Qin Wanjiang very much, and Qin Wanjiang treats her very well. The two of them are inseparable, and their relationship is very stable. She will not look back."
"You probably don't know, right? They have a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, perfect for the perfect couple."
Gu Zhifeng listened to these words which were almost harsh to him, and suddenly he had the urge to run away.
"I will let you live a good life, Dad. You can let go of this relationship and start over. Just like I told you last time, you can get married and maybe you will be happier. This is what my brother and I want to see."
Gu Yuehuai said in a serious tone, "Dad, life has been bitter enough, it's time for something sweet."
Gu Zhifeng remained silent for a long time, and Gu Yuehuai did not continue to force him. He got up and went back to the house.
Some things cannot be achieved overnight. After more than 20 years of love, such a deep feeling cannot be forgotten overnight. It doesn’t matter. After all, everything is going in a good direction now, and he will change.
Gu Yuehuai returned to his room, lay on the bed, and thought carefully about what Lin Jinshu said today.
I don't know where Yan Shaoyu is now. The train will take several days to get there, and I have to transfer. Will I encounter danger along the way? Thinking of the inexplicable gunshot in her previous life, she felt a little uneasy.
