Chapter 239 Finally Here
Gu He carried Gu Hongmei's luggage and was the first to walk out of the station.
"The youngest said that they arranged someone to pick us up, but I don't know if the person has arrived yet?" Gu He walked down the stairs while stretching his neck to look towards the road.
Gu Hongmei was also looking around, holding a nylon bag of chopped pickles.
Zhao Changying knew that Yu Hui and the others liked to eat fried meat with chopped pickles, so this time she asked Gu Hongmei to bring another big bag.
"Second brother, there is a military jeep parked over there." Gu Hongmei had good eyesight and saw the military jeep parked on the side of the road.
"It's true. Let's go and take a look." Gu He took Gu Hongmei and walked towards the military jeep.
Before I got close, Xiao Li, who was wearing a green military uniform, came up to me with a smile.
"Second Brother Gu."
"Xiao Li." Seeing Xiao Li, Gu He smiled and stretched out his hand to him.
Gu Hongmei had never met Xiao Li before, so she smiled and nodded at him.
"Is this the sister of our Deputy Captain Gu?" Xiao Li shook hands with Gu He, looked at Gu Hongmei and asked with a smile.
Gu Hongmei nodded, "My name is Gu Hongmei."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Then I will call you Sister Hongmei."
He is three or four years younger than Gu Hongmei.
Gu Hongmei smiled and nodded.
Xiao Li opened the trunk, took the bag from Gu He and put it in the trunk.
"National Day is coming soon. Our military district leaders have arranged a program for our special forces regiment. They want us to put on a battle show. Our deputy commander, Gu, is busy with training these two days. Otherwise, he would come to pick you up in person."
Gu He smiled and said, "Just let the youngest take care of his own business and don't worry about us. Even if no one answers the phone, we can still find our way home."
Mom told them there was a bus that went directly from the train station to the family compound. Although they were not familiar with the buses in the city, they knew there was always someone right under their nose, so they could just ask. They would not get lost after all.
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are right next to each other, only three or four days away. Brother Gu and Sister Hongmei, you can come to our camp auditorium and watch the gala to welcome National Day and celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be not only combat performances by our special forces, but also song and dance performances by the art troupe."
Gu He was actually a little tempted by what he heard. If he stayed for a few more days and watched the party before going back, he would be able to see the world.
"Get in the car." After putting the things away, Xiao Li closed the trunk.
Gu He and Gu Hongmei got in the car. It was the first time for both of them to ride in such a car. They both felt it was a bit novel and touched here and looked there.
The garment factory has a car, but only a few senior leaders in the factory can use it. In the past, when You Shengxing went out in the car to do business, Gu Hongmei wanted to try what it felt like to ride in a car and asked him to give her a ride, but You Shengxing refused.
Along the way, Xiao Li was chatting with Gu He and Gu Hongmei, and naturally they talked about the noodle shop opened by Yu Hui.
"My sister-in-law's noodle shop is doing really well. She only sells noodles at noon, and the noodles she prepared are not enough to sell. Yesterday was the weekend, and we had a day off. In order for us to have a bowl of noodles, my sister-in-law also sold noodles at the dinner market. Her hands were shaking as she picked out the noodles."
"Later, our deputy group leader came back from get off work and helped to pick out the noodles."
"Sister Hongmei, now that you're here, there's one more person to help. By Sunday, my sister-in-law won't have to be so tired."
Gu He and Gu Hongmei were astonished. They didn't expect that the small noodle shop run by their brother's wife/fourth sister-in-law would be doing so well.
The car drove directly into the family compound and stopped at the gate of the Gu family's yard.
Yu Hui had just sent the engineer who had installed the phone away when she saw a jeep approaching. She turned around and shouted into the house, "Children, come out quickly! Your aunt is here."
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi were looking at the newly installed phone with great curiosity. When they heard their mother's call, they hurried out to greet their aunt.
They haven't met their little aunt yet, but they think she should be a kind and gentle person, just like grandma and Sister Qiuyan.
The car stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Li got out first, looked at Yu Hui and called out "Sister-in-law." Then he opened the car door for Gu He and Gu Hongmei who didn't know how to open the car door.
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi also called out "Brother Xiao Li."
Gu He, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car first. When he saw Yu Hui, he was startled at first, then blinked and looked again.
"Is it Xiaohui?"
Yu Hui smiled and nodded, then called out, "Second Brother."
Gu Hehan smiled and said, "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize her."
It's true that the city is a place that makes people grow up. Look at Xiaohui. After only being in the city for more than half a year, she's become a completely different person. Her skin is whiter, she's taller, her hair is black, and she's prettier. She's become a real city girl.
If I go back with the youngest brother during the New Year, the villagers will be shocked.
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi raised their heads and looked curiously at the person who was chatting and laughing with their mother.
"Nannan, Xixi, this is your second dad." Yu Hui introduced him to the two children.
Gu He then noticed the two children. He squatted on the ground and looked at them. He sighed in his heart that the two children were really good-looking, with big eyes, high nose bridges, and white and chubby little faces. They looked like the dolls in the New Year pictures posted at home during the Spring Festival. They were very adorable.
"You are Nannan, and you are Xixi." Gu He pointed at the two children and said
The two children nodded in unison and called out, "Second Dad."
"So good." Gu He reached out and touched the two children's heads, then took out two dollars from his bag and gave one dollar to each of them.
"Use this to buy some candy." He had prepared the money long ago.
This is the first time he has met these nephews, so he has to give them some money as a gift so that they can buy some candy, right?
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi did not reach out to take it, but looked up at their mother.
Yu Hui smiled and nodded, "Second Dad gave it to you, just take it."
After getting their mother's consent, the two children stretched out their hands to take the money and said thank you, "Thank you, second dad."
"So good and polite." Gu He praised with a smile.
He couldn't help but think of his son Gu Feng, who, when he was this old, knew how to tease cats and dogs, climb mountains and trees, and couldn't get a single word out of him even if he was beaten with three sticks. When guests came to his house, he had to hide even when he was asked to call them.
Children raised in the city are different from those raised in the countryside. Look at the two youngest sons, they are so generous and polite.
"Little, fourth sister-in-law." Gu Hongmei almost called Xiaohui out of habit, but quickly changed her words.
Yu Hui still held Gu Hongmei's hand affectionately like the original owner did before, "Hongmei..." She swallowed the word "sister".
"You're finally here. Ever since Brother Gu said you were coming, I've been looking forward to your arrival."
"Are you tired from the journey?"
Gu Hongmei smiled and shook her head. "I'm not tired from sitting all the time. I haven't seen you for only half a year, and you've become so beautiful that I couldn't recognize you. It seems my fourth brother didn't bully you."
Although she knew what kind of person her fourth brother was, she had heard her parents say how much he loved her ex-sister-in-law, so she was still worried that Xiaohui would be bullied and wronged if she married him.
Now that I see Xiaohui being so nice, I know that Fourth Brother didn't bully her or let her suffer any grievances, and I feel completely relieved.
