Chapter 462: Calmness after Return
"Really?!" Yan Shaoli gasped and looked at Gu Yuehuai in disbelief.
During this period, she had heard many people in the team discussing Grain Street. Even Lei Yi, Wang Ziyan and others kept mentioning Grain Street when they came to play with her, which showed how popular it was.
But such a place belongs to her sister-in-law Gu Yuehuai?
Not only Yan Shaoli, but everyone in the room was dumbfounded. They stared at each other for a long time before Gu Zhifeng said in a dry voice, "Nannan, are you really the owner of the grain street? But you only went to Feng City once, so how did you set up a grain street?"
He looked confused, but Gu Xihuai suddenly remembered what Gu Yuehuai said about being kidnapped by human traffickers in Feng City.
He glanced at Gu Yuehuai and said loudly: "Dad! I know! I have to explain this to you in detail!"
Gu Yuehuai looked at the smug smile on Gu Xihuai's face and couldn't help but press his forehead. This guy...
…
Needless to say, how much of a shock the incident in Feng City caused to the Gu family. Until Bai Mei came back from get off work, Gu Zhifeng had been instilling in Gu Yuehuai that girls should not go out alone, and that she would not be allowed to go far away alone in the future.
Gu Yuehuai's attitude was also very sincere, and he nodded silently in response.
Gu Zhifeng looked at her daughter in front of her and felt extremely proud.
He said that his daughter was extraordinary. Let’s not talk about her past, just look at her now, she has become a boss ahead of time!
"Yuehuai and Xihuai are back. Did you have a smooth journey? You're back just in time, so we're in for a treat." Bai Mei was surprised when she saw Gu Yuehuai, but then her face was full of smiles, and she took out the still steaming pastries from her bag.
"That's great. Every time Sister Bai Mei comes back, there's delicious food!" Yan Shaoli took out a piece of pastry and handed it to Yan Shaotang.
The little girl ate the cake in small bites and smiled: "Sister, it's sweet."
The whole family shared the cakes that Bai Mei brought back under the dim warm light of the kerosene lamp.
Gu Yuehuai's eyebrows were gentle and she smiled with curved lips. The time at home always made her relaxed and happy.
It’s a pity that one person is missing. Shao Yu, when will you come back?

After returning from Feng City, the Gu family entered a peaceful life.
Gu Yuehuai didn't need to get up early every day to go to work, so he focused all his attention on the management of the fields in the Xumi Space. He worked for several hours every night, and the grain in the thatched warehouse was harvested again and again.
In the blink of an eye, four months passed.
Spring plowing and autumn planting, perhaps because of the food shortage last year, the people in the brigade were very careful when they went to work in the spring plowing this year, just praying that they could have a good year with enough food and warm clothing.
Gu Yuehuai originally wanted to remind the branch secretary again to plant more sweet potatoes this year. However, before he could remind him, the branch secretary posted a notice at the breeding area, saying that there were enough sweet potato seedlings this year, and most fields should be planted with sweet potatoes, and the leaves could be used to feed pigs.
The members of the brigade were quite dissatisfied with this and they all wanted to plant more rice and wheat to have more food. However, the secretary had already said it and they could not refute anything. So, they planted rows of sweet potato seedlings, and in two months the vines grew very long.
When talking about pig farming, we have to mention the two piglets in the Gu family's yard.
It is no longer appropriate to talk about piglets now. It rained a few times just after the New Year, and the back mountain, which was originally barren, was covered with green vegetation. Yan Shaoli led Yan Shaotang to the mountain to cut grass for the pigs every day, which saved the family a lot of food.
Yan Shaoli, who used to be a complete stranger, now puts on a coarse cloth shirt and becomes an expert at cleaning and feeding pigs.
Gu Yuehuai had already changed into a thin cotton spring outfit. She sat under the eaves, watching Yan Shaoli throw the cut pig grass into the pigpen. Yan Shaotang squatted at the door, looking at the fat pigs that had grown dozens of pounds, grinning.
She smiled, her eyes slightly turned, and her gaze fell on the Tian family yard beside her.
Since Tian Jing left, no one has taken care of the Tian family yard. Now it is overgrown with weeds, almost covering the entire yard. After a few spring rains, the walls have fallen off and most of the tiles have fallen off. Now it looks like a ruin.
Gu Yuehuai supported her chin slightly, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. At this time in her previous life, her family had been broken up, while Tian Jingze and Song Jinan were living a happy life in the brigade. At that time, it was the Gu family that became ruins.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Gu Xihuai came out of the house and waved in front of Gu Yuehuai, looking a little amused.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him, seeing that he was dressed like he was going out, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Gu Xihuai couldn't hide the smile on his face. He raised the stamped envelope in his hand, said nothing more, and walked away.
Gu Yuehuai looked at his back and chuckled.
Not long after she returned from Feng City, she received a letter from Liu Weilan and learned the address of the mountain village where she was teaching. They exchanged several letters, but later, Liu Weilan's pen pal changed from her to Gu Xihuai.
The two of them exchanged countless letters in four months. At this rate, it was estimated that before Gu Xihuai could go to where Liu Weilan was, his sister-in-law would be brought home in advance.
Originally, she thought that Gu Xihuai would rush to Huaihai City to find Liu Weilan, but he thought about it and was afraid of missing their wedding after Yan Shaoyu came back, so he decided to stay at home and go to Huaihai City together after they got married.
This delay lasted for four months.
Thinking of Yan Shaoyu, Gu Yuehuai clenched her hands slightly. During this period, she also sent several letters to the military region, but unfortunately, there was no reply.
She was also a little worried, wondering whether Yan Shaoyu, who was far away on the front line, was safe.
Gu Yuehuai pursed her lips, raised her eyes, and saw Wang Fu walking towards her with a happy look on his face.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up a few steps to greet him: "How come you have time to come here today, Secretary?"
"Good news, good news, Xiao Gu!" Wang Fu raised the paper in his hand and said immediately after approaching: "Xiao Gu, the commune has issued a notice, agreeing that you can go to the county hospital to attend the training class. Learn more from the doctors in your daily life, it will come in handy sooner or later!"
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "Doctor's training class?"
She had mentioned the idea of becoming a barefoot doctor to Wang Fu at the beginning, but she didn't expect that he actually took it to heart.
Wang Fu happily handed the notice to Gu Yuehuai: "That's right, isn't your sister-in-law a nurse at the county hospital? Ask her to take care of you more." After saying that, he lowered his voice and said: "When the doctor performs an operation or something, you should also watch closely!"
Gu Yuehuai held the notice in his hand, feeling a little warm in his heart, and nodded, "I know, thank you, Secretary."
Wang Fu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite to me? Haven't you made enough contributions to our team? It's what you deserve."
He took two steps and walked around to the back of the house to look at the very imposing courtyard with blue bricks and large tiled houses. He sighed and said, "Little Gu has a promising future. Look at how well this house was built. It's the first of its kind in our Dalaozi Production Brigade, right?"
Gu Yuehuai followed and chuckled, "From now on, every family in our brigade will live in a tiled house."
The house has been completed, but the furniture has not yet arrived. I was thinking of letting it air out for two days before moving in. Once it is ready, I can hold the wedding for Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei. They have been married for so long, so they should still give them what they deserve.
