Li Xia nodded to Gu Yongnian and called out, "Cousin."
An An called out crisply, "Hello, uncle!"
"Yeah, okay!" Gu Yongnian nodded repeatedly. It seemed that he and his great-grandfather were wrong last time. They thought An An was the child of Weicheng's wife's second marriage, but it turned out that she was Weicheng's biological child.
Thinking that the last letter had already been read by Weicheng’s wife, Gu Yongnian touched his nose in embarrassment.
An An took the initiative to introduce Ji Feng: "Uncle, this is the hero dog Ji Feng, he is very powerful."
Gu Yongnian looked at Jifeng's arrogant look, which was completely incomparable to the dogs in their village, and guessed that it was a military dog.
After the introduction, Gu Weicheng asked the question that concerned him the most: "Cousin, what happened to Grandpa? What happened?"
Gu Yongnian sighed and said, "Last time, when Grandpa heard that you were married and had children, he was very happy. He has saved all the money you sent to Grandpa over the years and plans to leave it for you to marry a wife in the future.
The New Year is coming soon. Grandpa wants to buy some New Year's goods for you to send to the army. I don't know how the money was seen by Gu Yaozu, and he told his mother. When his mother searched, she found more than a thousand yuan from Grandpa! His mother said that Grandpa stole the money from them and took all the money away. Grandpa was so angry that he had a stroke and became paralyzed.
After my dad found out, he asked my second uncle to take my great grandfather to the hospital for treatment, but in order to save money, the couple only wanted to ask the village barefoot doctor to see him. I thought this was not a solution. If we keep dragging it on like this, I don’t know if my great grandfather will be able to make it to the New Year.
I know how you feel about your great grandfather. If I don't tell you about this, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life when your great grandfather dies, so I sent you a telegram."
Hearing this, Gu Weicheng's face darkened and he held the suitcase even harder. The veins on his hands bulged, which was enough to show the anger in his heart.
Li Xia was also very angry. Neither of the couple was a good person.
Especially Gu Changzheng, he even treated his own father like this, his conscience has been eaten by dogs.
"Weicheng, don't worry. Hemiplegia can be cured as long as we find a good doctor. Now that we are back, we must cure grandpa. After grandpa recovers, if the couple can't tolerate grandpa, we can just take him to live with the army." Li Xia said.
Gu Weicheng nodded. He thought so too. At worst, he could just take his grandfather to the army.
When Gu Yongnian heard what Li Xia said, he secretly gave a thumbs up to his sister-in-law. Weicheng had chosen a good wife, she was a reasonable person.
"Then let's go back first. I'll drive the brigade's tractor over here and we can all sit down." Gu Yongnian said.
He was holding a few newspapers in his hand. He walked to the tractor, put the newspapers in his pocket and said:
"This is the newspaper that the educated youth in our brigade asked me to bring to them. They said there was an article in the newspaper that was very well written. They have been discussing this article recently. I think it's called "Zhao Di" and it's always about Zhao Di's pros and cons."
When An An heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Uncle, this is me..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly remembered that his mother didn't let him tell others on the train that "Zhao Di" was written by her. He covered his mouth again and looked at his mother questioningly.
Seeing him covering his mouth with his hands, Li Xia couldn't help laughing and said, "It's okay. Uncle is not an outsider. He doesn't read mom's articles or urge mom to write. An An can say it."
Seeing An An's look, Gu Yongnian also became curious and waited for An An to speak.
An An smiled, showing her white teeth, and said, "Uncle, Zhao Di was written by my mother and is serialized in the New Evening News. My mother has many readers who write to her. Everyone likes to read my mother's novels."
That handsome and cute little face is full of pride and pride.
"What? "Zhao Di" was written by your mother?" Gu Yongnian asked in surprise.
Although he had not read "Zhao Di", he was well aware that articles that could be published in newspapers were extraordinary. In addition, all the educated youth in the brigade said how well the article was written. Even if he had not read it, he knew that the article must be good!
But now I heard that such a good article was actually written by Li Xia!
He looked at Li Xia with an almost worshipful look in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, you are really talented. The articles you wrote can even be published in the newspapers. Our Gu family is so lucky to have such an educated person like you! Weicheng, you have good vision and good fortune!"
Gu Weicheng glanced at Li Xia, nodded and said, "My cousin is right. I am indeed very lucky."
We got on the tractor and drove forward at a rumbling speed.
It was fine at first in the city because the roads in the city were made of cement, but once we got to the gravel roads in the countryside, the rumbling feeling of the tractor became very painful.
In order to make Li Xia and An An sit more comfortably, Gu Weicheng took out two thick cotton coats from his backpack and put them under their buttocks to make them feel better.
An An is small and light, so he feels very rhythmic when being bumped around.
Seeing this, Gu Weicheng picked up An An and held him in his arms, and let Li Xia lean on him: "We will be there in ten minutes."
Although he has been away from his hometown for more than ten years, he will always remember this road.
Gu Yongnian drove the tractor and turned around and said, "Weicheng, although so many years have passed, but if someone in the village said something unpleasant about that incident, don't take it to heart."
Gu Weicheng pursed his lips and his face darkened.
Li Xia held his hand and said to Gu Yongnian, "Cousin, I believe that the innocent will be innocent. Weicheng has not done anything that can be blamed on him with just a few words.
Now the Acropolis is the People's Liberation Army. Anyone who dares to wrongly accuse him is slandering the military, and slandering the military is illegal. If anyone dares to say anything at that time, I will tell them this directly! "
Gu Yongnian really couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this cousin. What he said was very cultured and sophisticated. He was worthy of being a writer, with an active mind!
The villagers usually like to gossip, but they dare not do anything illegal. Using this kind of words to deal with these people is more effective than reasoning with them or scolding them.
The tractor rumbled all the way to the village entrance.
The entrance to the village has always been a gathering place for gossip, and now there are many people sitting at the entrance to the village chatting. It's still winter and it's cold, so there are fewer people. At other times, there are more people gathering here.
As soon as the tractor arrived, it attracted everyone's attention.
Especially when they saw a few unfamiliar people sitting on the tractor, they couldn't help but start talking.
"Who is in this car? How come I've never seen them before? Is it a relative of Gu Yongnian's? It doesn't look like that. When did their family have such a rich relative? Look at all the bags and bags, they bought so many good things. And the clothes that woman is wearing, the material is obviously not cheap! She is also pretty, with skin so tender that you can pinch water out of it. Is she from the city?"
"Yes, and the clothes the child is wearing are all new. If he wasn't from the city, how could he dress his child so well? And the dog, the dog is wearing clothes!"
The country folks only make new clothes for the New Year, so how could they have extra cloth to make clothes for their dogs? These people look rich!
"And that man over there...is he wearing a military uniform?"
“Who on earth is this…?”
As everyone was talking, an old lady couldn't help but ask Gu Yongnian, "Yongnian, who is that person on your cart? Is he a relative of yours?"
Gu Yongnian was stunned, and was just thinking about how to start the conversation when Gu Weicheng replied, "Grandma Qing, I am Gu Weicheng."
