Following behind them were Gu Yongnian’s two children, Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaofu.
They were young and had never seen their cousin Gu Weicheng, so they all looked curious. But the moment they saw Ji Feng, all their attention was drawn to him.
This dog is so cool, it looks completely different from the dogs in the village!
When Gu Hongjun and Chen Dongju saw the tall and handsome Gu Weicheng standing at the door, both of them had tears in their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Gu Weicheng called out, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm back."
Gu Hongjun said: "Great, great, you have grown into a big boy, and you are much stronger. You are taller than your brother. You are worthy of being a soldier!"
Chen Dongju covered her mouth and said with tears in her eyes: "If your mother is still alive in heaven, she will be relieved to see you like this!"
She and Gu Weicheng's biological mother Chen Yuping were from the same village, and they both married cousins, so they had always had a good relationship. When Gu Weicheng was kicked out of the house by Gu Changzheng, Grandpa Gu brought Gu Weicheng to their house, and she immediately agreed to keep Gu Weicheng.
Gu Yongnian said, "Mom and Dad, it's New Year's Day, it's a good thing that Weicheng is back, why are you crying?"
"Yes, it's a good thing that Weicheng is back. It's a great joy. We can't cry." Chen Juhua immediately wiped the tears from her face, looked at Li Xia and An An, and said with a smile, "You are Xiao Xia, and you are An An, right?"
"Uncle, aunt." Li Xia called people.
An An also called out, "Grandpa, Grandma."
"This child is really likable, and looks like your father when he was a child. But your father was not as sweet-talking as you when he was a child. He didn't like to talk. Your grandmother was very anxious at that time, fearing that she had given birth to a mute." Chen Juhua talked about the past.
An An glanced at his father with an expression that I knew everything about, and said, "Dad is like this. He doesn't talk much at ordinary times, and only talks a lot in front of Mom."
Just one sentence revealed that Gu Weicheng and Li Xiafei had a very good relationship.
In front of so many people, Gu Weicheng coughed awkwardly. An An was really too lively today.
Chen Juhua smiled and glanced at Li Xia, and said, "It's because your mother is good that your father is willing to talk to her."
Gu Hongjun immediately took An An and led everyone into the house: "Come in, it's cold outside. You must be frozen. It's the coldest to ride on a tractor in winter. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
After entering the house, Chen Dongju immediately went to get the pancakes she had fried: "I just fried these pancakes, they're still hot. You've been sitting on the train for such a long time and you've only eaten cold food. You must be feeling uncomfortable in your stomach. Let's eat something hot first."
She was really hungry, so Li Xia didn't refuse. She took the pancake and gave one to An An first, then ate one herself. It tasted pretty good.
Chen Dongju said, "Isn't this pancake pretty good? Everyone says my pancake making skills are good, but it's a little dry when eaten this way. Hehua, go to the kitchen and get a few eggs. I'll make a bowl of egg water for Xiaoxia and An'an."
Ding Hehua is Gu Yongnian's wife. When she got married, Gu Weicheng had already left the village, so this was the first time she saw Gu Weicheng.
She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, Mom."
Li Xia has eaten poached eggs, boiled eggs, brown sugar eggs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and many other egg dishes in her life, but she has never drunk "egg water". She can't help but be curious about how to make egg water.
Ding Hehua brought three eggs. Chen Dongju took them and cracked them all into the soup bowl. Then she sprinkled some sugar in and poured boiling water in, stirring as she poured.
"It's still hot, drink it slowly." Chen Dongju said.
Li Xia: So this is egg water?
Gu Weicheng ate a cake and stopped eating. He was still thinking about his grandfather. He stood up and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I have to go over there right away to see how grandpa is doing and send him to the hospital."
Grandpa Gu’s illness cannot be delayed and must be cured while it can be cured. If it takes too long, he may just have to lie in bed forever.
"Yongnian and I will go with you. If we really take uncle away from there, it will be inconvenient for you to go alone." Gu Hongjun said.
The main reason was that he didn't know whether Gu Changzheng would do something bad when he saw Gu Weicheng coming back. He had never forgotten the ferocious look on Gu Changzheng's face when he drove his son out of the house.
Although Gu Weicheng is now strong and tall, and Gu Changzheng is definitely not Gu Weicheng's opponent, he is still worried.
Gu Weicheng did not reject Gu Hongjun's kindness and nodded, "Okay."
Li Xia gulped down the sweet egg water in the small bowl and said, "Weicheng, I'll go with you. An'an, mommy will go with daddy, and you can stay here and play with your sister and brother, okay?"
From what she knew, Zhang Guifen was a very eloquent person, and she could even make crooked ideas sound right.
What if these grown men go there and fail to win the argument with Zhang Guifen?
Their physical attacks were definitely sufficient, all they lacked was verbal output, and Li Xia felt that she could do it.
An An nodded and said, "Mom, you go ahead. I'll wait here for you to come back."
Although it was his first time here, it was obvious that his great-grandparents liked him very much, and he was not afraid at all being here alone.
"Good baby." Li Xia praised, not noticing that Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaofu couldn't help but widen their eyes with envy when they heard her words.
Auntie actually called An An "good baby"! Their mother never called them that!
And...Aunt is so beautiful and speaks so sweetly!
The two children thought silently in their hearts that they had an inexplicable liking for this aunt they had just met.
As for the cousin…he looked a bit fierce, so they only took a quick glance at him and quickly looked away, not daring to look at him any longer.
My uncle is fierce, my aunt is gentle, and my aunt is good.
"Wife, why don't you stay at home?" Gu Weicheng said when he saw Li Xia was going to go. He was afraid that the family would say something unpleasant, and he didn't want Li Xia to follow him and listen to those unpleasant words.
Li Xia shook her head at him and said, "Weicheng, husband and wife are one. You know that although I don't like to quarrel with others, it's not that I can't argue with others. Besides, as the granddaughter-in-law, I should also go and pick up Grandpa."
She understood what Gu Weicheng was thinking.
"Okay." Gu Weicheng nodded. If it weren't in front of so many people, he really wanted to hug his wife.
When Gu Hongjun and Chen Dongju heard what Li Xia said, they nodded secretly in their hearts. This cousin's wife is really good.
The four of them set off immediately without further delay. Ji Feng was very understanding and wanted to go with them, so Li Xia and Gu Weicheng followed suit.
At this moment, at Gu Changzheng's home.
Zhang Guifen was eating melon seeds while directing Gu Changzheng to work: "After sweeping the yard, you have to clean the kitchen, wash the pots and pans, and wipe the windows. It's the New Year, so the house has to be clean, so that it can be prosperous."
After the arrangements were made, Zhang Guifen pretended to say, "Changzheng, do you know when you are most charming? When you are working!"
Gu Changzheng had been cleaning up for the past two days and was now exhausted and out of breath. When he heard Zhang Guifen praising him, he suddenly felt full of energy again.
He smiled and said, "Your man has plenty of strength, just sit aside and rest, I will do the work."
"Changzheng, you are so nice. Otherwise, Xiulian has always envied me for marrying you." Zhang Guifen threw a coquettish glance at Gu Changzheng.
At this moment, Grandpa Gu's voice came from the east wing: "Long March...Long March..."
Zhang Guifen's face fell and she said with disgust: "Changzheng, listen, listen, your father is yelling again. He yells all day and all night, and I can't sleep well!"
"What's wrong with you again!" Gu Changzheng yelled inside impatiently.
At this moment, Gu Weicheng and others had already walked to the door.
Gu Weicheng looked at the "home" in his memory, and heard the voices of Zhang Guifen and Gu Changzheng coming from inside, his face became particularly grim.
One of his men exerted force and pushed the door open.
