The group first returned to Qu City, Zhejiang Province, Gu Shijing's hometown, to hold a wedding and entertain guests, and then returned to Su City.
After returning to Qu City, several people cleaned the house. The old house of Gu Shijing's family was between Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu. It was originally a large house, but when the family split up, it was divided into three rooms, one for each family. The house is two stories high, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The kitchen is built in another room in the yard. There is a wall between the house and the uncle's house, and a separate door to the yard. After cleaning, everyone started to rest. Although it was a sleeper, it was still not as comfortable as being at home. Mother Gu took Gu Shijing and Liu Yanran to visit the two neighbors with gifts, and invited them to attend the wedding banquet. After that, Mother Gu took them to her mother's house with gifts to invite her brother.
Gu's mother, Lin Manting, was born into a scholarly family. Her ancestors were once prominent. Her father was a teacher in the village, and her mother was a barefoot doctor in the village. She was from the village next to Gu Shijing's father. The two were high school classmates. Because the high school at that time was in the county, the two often went home together. As a result, they developed a revolutionary friendship and eventually achieved a happy ending.
Lin Manting's younger brother, Lin Zekai, also graduated from high school and is now a junior high school teacher. The last time he injured his leg, he was pushed down the stairs. Because there was no surveillance, it has not been found out who did it. There were only two siblings at home, so life should have been easy for them. However, both elderly people became seriously ill, and neither of them was willing to give up treatment. In the end, the family's savings were drained, and the two elderly people died one after another.
Later, because Lin Zekai's mother-in-law was a descendant of a capitalist, Lin Zekai asked his sister to publish an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties with him, so as not to implicate his sister's family. Lin Zekai and his wife Li Man were sent to the cowshed with their children along with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, doing the dirtiest and heaviest work. Later, he ruined his health, so he only had one son, Lin Min, who is now 20 years old.
Later, he was rehabilitated and Lin Zekai was arranged to be a teacher in the county middle school. However, his father-in-law and mother-in-law had passed away. At that time, only his wife did not sever ties with the old couple and went to take care of the elderly. Therefore, the elderly left all their savings and property to this daughter. Of course, his wife's brother Li Yong disagreed and came to make trouble several times, but the organization did not give in. He was arrested and put in prison for several days, so it is almost certain that he did it.
Lin Zekai and his family of three now live in the dormitory assigned by the school. His wife Li Man is the school doctor, so they are both working. Lin Min only went to elementary school and was later sent down to the countryside and stopped studying. Later, he studied at home and was admitted to the county high school. He is now in the second year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next year. Lin Manting hired an ox cart and took the young couple to the county to invite Lin Zekai. The gifts she prepared were very generous. Back then, she had no choice but to break off relations with her brother, and she asked people to bring supplies to her brother several times. Later, Gu Shijing joined the army, and then Shijing's father died, so she followed Gu Shijing to join the army. She hasn't seen her brother for a long time.
After hearing about the situation at her uncle's house, Liu Yanran also smuggled out a college entrance examination support book, hoping to help her uncle's children!
Arriving at the dormitory building, Lin Manting took the two people to her uncle's house. She and her brother had always exchanged letters. It was Lin Min who opened the door. He was only a few years old when he was sent down to the countryside, so he didn't know Lin Manting. "Auntie, who are you looking for?"
But Lin Manting could vaguely recognize his appearance as a child. "You are Ah Min, right? I am your aunt, don't you remember?"
"Aunt?" Lin Min's eyes turned cold. Over the years, he had become accustomed to the indifference of human nature and the shameless face of his uncle when he came to cause trouble, so he naturally thought that the aunt in front of him was not a good person. "Sorry, you got the wrong person..."
Before he could finish, Lin Zekai limped out. "Sister, is it really you? You look the same!" Lin Manting was indeed older, with a few wrinkles on her face, and her life hadn't been smooth sailing. But having not seen her sister for a long time, he felt that the person before him was particularly familiar.
"Look at you, your son is already this grown up, but you're still so talkative. Only Xiao Man can stand you." Lin Manting scratched her brother's nose like she did when they were little. Lin Zekai smiled innocently, then noticed two young men in the back with their hands full. "Sister, that's Shi Jing and his new wife in the back, right? Come in and sit down."
As they were talking, they welcomed the three people into the house. Li Man just happened to bring a dish out from the kitchen and was very happy to see the three people. "Sister, Shi Jing and Shi Jing's wife, you are here. Please sit down. I will go and add two more dishes." If it weren't for this sister's private support for them all those years, they probably wouldn't have lived to see the day they returned.
It was only then that the embarrassed Lin Yu realized that their family hadn't had any real relatives come over for a long time, and the only uncle who came was to ask for money. Judging from the attitude of his parents towards them, it can be seen that this aunt must be close to his family.
Liu Yanran put down the gifts she was carrying and shook hands with her aunt and uncle gracefully. "Hello, aunt and uncle, I'm Gu Shijing's wife. My name is Liu Yanran. We're family from now on. By the way, I heard that my cousin is preparing for the college entrance examination. I hope this Gaokao Cheating Station can help him." As she spoke, Liu Yanran handed the book in her bag to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took it with surprise. He had heard of this book before, but had never been able to buy it. He didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise. His parents hadn't told him that his cousin had been transferred to Beijing. "Thank you, cousin, how did you know my cousin in Beijing?" He relaxed when he realized it was an acquaintance.
