Bai Guoguo hadn't seen the folks from the Red Star Brigade for a long time, and even looking at the water pipe in the old accountant's hand felt very familiar.
"Xiaobai, who are these PLA comrades?"
Uncle He pointed at the young soldiers behind Bai Guoguo and asked.
"Uncle, they are all my colleagues in the security department, working in the same unit!"
Bai Guoguo introduced it with a smile. Since it was difficult to explain in detail, he could only get away with it like this.
"Oh, good, good, welcome to our Red Star Brigade. Thank you all for your hard work in coming here on New Year's Day!"
Uncle He breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a colleague. He was afraid that someone would steal his nephew's girl.
"Hahaha, come on, let's all go home. I'll ask your aunt to prepare some delicious food for you to welcome you home!"
"Uncle, no thanks. I want to go back to my house first to see Grandma Wen, Grandpa He and the others. Let's get together there tonight, okay?"
Bai Guoguo looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so he wanted to hurry to the courtyard to meet the He family.
It’s just that the big truck was driving slowly and was left far behind by Bai Guoguo, and it hasn’t arrived yet.
So Bai Guoguo just parked the car at the threshing ground to wait for the big truck.
"Uncle, we have another truck coming later. Please send someone to lead the truck to my house."
Uncle He naturally nodded in agreement. There were many people going to the old house for dinner today, so he had to go back and talk to his wife and bring his daughter-in-law with him to help.
So Bai Guoguo said goodbye to everyone and took Lei Dalong and two other young soldiers to the He family's old house.
But this time the driver was Lei Dalong, and he was determined not to give Bai Guoguo another chance to speed.
Just now, three grown men were squatting on the side of the road and vomiting loudly, which made them lose face in front of the villagers.
Baiguo shrugged indifferently. They had already arrived, so let them be.
Bai Guoguo directed He Dalong to drive the car to the gate of the old He family. She jumped out of the car impatiently and ran towards the gate.
"Grandma Wen, Aunt Wang, Sister Zhang, Little Tiger, did you miss me?"
Bai Guoguo pushed open the door of the old He family while calling out to people in a crisp voice.
As mentioned earlier, in this simple era, people in the countryside usually kept their doors closed during the day.
So Bai Guoguo pushed open the courtyard door and went to the main hall as if he was familiar with the way.
At this time of year, there was already frost in the morning, so every household in the north hung thick cotton curtains on their doors, and the He family was no exception.
Following Bai Guoguo's call, the door curtain of the main hall was lifted, and Old Mrs. Wen walked out with a happy face, followed by Old Mr. He.
"Grandma Wen, Grandpa He, I'm here to see you. Where are Auntie and the others?"
Bai Guoguo trotted over and held the arm of Old Lady Wen who was walking towards her quickly.
Although the old lady was skilled in martial arts, Bai Guoguo was still worried that he would accidentally fall.
After all, he is an old man in his 70s, with brittle bones, so you have to be careful.
"You cruel girl, it took you so long to come see grandma. Let me take a look... Oh, your face has become so thin. I'll ask your uncle to kill a chicken and give you a good nourishment!"
Old Mrs. Wen held Bai Guoguo's face affectionately and looked at it again and again. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this little girl must have suffered a lot, just look at her thin face.
"Grandma, I'm not thin, I'm growing up. Look, I've even grown taller!"
Bai Guoguo turned around in front of the old lady, asking her to take a good look at herself to see if she had lost weight.
Why does everyone say she has lost weight? She has obviously grown up, her features are clearer, and she has lost some baby fat.
She didn't know that in the eyes of the old ladies, if they felt sorry for someone, they would always think that she had lost weight and needed a lot of nourishment!
There is a kind of thinness, when old ladies think you are thin!
"Grandpa He, how are you doing recently?"
Bai Guoguo poked her head out from behind the old lady and greeted Mr. He.
"Well, that's good. Did you get hurt outside?"
Old Master He rarely showed a kind smile, and his words almost broke Bai Guoguo's defense.
Unexpectedly, although she was an orphan for two lifetimes, she enjoyed the precious family love such as the love between grandfather and grandson, and mother and daughter in the old He family.
Bai Guoguo smiled and shook her head with slightly red eyes. She didn't suffer any hardship outside, but she felt lonely in her heart.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I'm doing well out there. The organization is taking good care of me and has even arranged for people to protect me. I haven't been wronged. I just miss home!"
Bai Guoguo herself didn't shed tears, but her eyes were a little red.
However, Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang, who had just heard the noise and came out of the house, burst into tears of heartache.
Even the old lady, who was always strong-willed, had red eyes and stretched out her arms to hug the poor and lovely little girl.
"Guoguo, this is your home. You won't be afraid of anything when you return home!"
"That's right, take a good rest when you get home. You look so thin. I'll make you something delicious later!"
Aunt Wang and Mrs. Zhang also came over, holding Bai Guoguo's hands and offering words of comfort.
Lei Dalong and two young soldiers were standing at the door and were also touched when they saw this scene.
No wonder Comrade Xiaobai rushed back here so anxiously. It turns out there are so many people here who care about her.
Looking at this happy family, they also thought of their own families.
"Ah...Sister Xiaobai, Sister Xiaobai, when did you come back? You came to see me, didn't you?"
Little Tiger, who had just woken up from a nap and climbed up from the kang, heard the voice of his sister Xiaobai. He quickly climbed down from the kang, put on his cloth shoes and rushed out of the house.
"Oh my! Whose child is this cute? It turns out to be our little tiger!"
When Bai Guoguo turned around, he saw the little tiger rushing towards him. The little guy was as strong as a calf.
Bai Guoguo quickly turned around and got into a horse stance, only then was he able to catch the little guy who was rushing towards him like a small cannonball.
"Sister Xiaobai, where have you been? You have no idea how much I missed you. I went to your yard every day to weed and water your trees, but the watermelons and cantaloupes still died. Only a few strawberries are left, and the cherry trees have lost all their leaves!"
The little guy hugged Bai Guoguo's neck tightly, wiping his tears as he spoke.
He thought he would never see his sister Xiaobai again, even though the adults in his family told him that sister Xiaobai would come back.
But he waited and waited, until all the watermelons and cantaloupes died, and his sister Xiaobai still didn't come back.
Now that he finally saw the person, Little Tiger couldn't hold back any longer. He expressed his longing for her while crying.
Listening to the little guy's aggrieved crying, Bai Guoguo felt sour and soft in her heart, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
This little guy is the first friend she made since she came to this world. They are friends regardless of age.
The position of Xiao Huzi in Bai Guoguo's heart is different from that of others. Among all the people in the old He family, she cares about this little guy the most!
