"Don't worry, honey, neither of us is hurt."
Except for two members who tripped and fell while descending the mountain because they couldn't see the path clearly, everyone else is fine.
"Then I'm relieved."
Ruan Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little Ruan, isn't Grandpa amazing? One of these wild boars was caught by me and Xiao Li together."
Shen Yongjun ran up to Ruan Qiushui and started showing off.
It was a critical moment, a matter of life and death. If he hadn't bravely stepped forward and decisively lured the wild boar away, who knows what would have happened to these villagers.
“Wife, I was dealing with another wild boar at the time, so I didn’t keep an eye on Grandpa.”
Gu Changfeng quickly spoke up.
He was afraid his wife would think he was abandoning his grandfather if he were in danger.
The old man moved too quickly; he simply didn't have time to get there.
Fortunately, Comrade Li intervened in time; otherwise, he might have had to atone with his death today.
"Grandpa, since you're so impressive, let's go back together and tell Grandma about your brave fight against the wild boar."
Ruan Qiushui didn't blame Gu Changfeng. Didn't she know her grandfather's temperament well?
It's obvious he's just showing off because he's a veteran.
When we get home, we'll see how Grandma deals with him.
"What? You don't need to tell your grandma. It's better for us to keep a low profile. I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yongjun immediately backed down.
If his wife finds out he risked his life, she'll twist his ears off.
"Keep a low profile? The whole brigade knows about your heroic deeds of hunting wild boars. Does Grandma not hear you? I advise you to confess and be lenient."
Ruan Qiushui greeted Gu Changfeng and led her listless grandfather home.
"Let's go to the dam first."
Gu Changfeng chuckled and led the group forward.
This time they hunted not only two large wild boars, but also a roe deer and several pheasants and rabbits.
"Oh! Time to divide the meat."
On his first day in office, Gu Guangrong won his first battle.
Every household in the brigade received meat to take home, and everyone was overjoyed. Their support for Gu Guangrong was at an all-time high, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere of the previous night.
Time flew by and it was February 17th.
That day, Xie Xiuying asked Ruan Qiushui to take her grandparents to the old house for dinner.
"I wonder if my parents have been able to get communication back."
Ruan Qiushui felt uneasy.
I haven't been able to contact my parents since they returned to Beijing to participate in classified research.
The baby is over a month old now and hasn't met his maternal grandparents yet.
I'm afraid we won't even see it during this year's Spring Festival.
"Honey, if you miss your parents, let's go to Beijing to see them when the children are a little older, okay?"
Gu Changfeng put his arm around his wife's shoulder to comfort her.
After my wife gave birth to our son and daughter, she became very emotional. If she really starts crying, I don't know how long it will take to comfort her.
“Ruan girl, before your grandfather and I came to City C, we left a message for your parents. If they come out, they will see it immediately.”
Liu Sanmei was somewhat disappointed.
The elderly couple also wanted to spend their first Spring Festival with their son and daughter-in-law.
pity.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this during the holidays."
Shen Yongjun waved his hand, dispelling his wife's worries.
"Wife, why don't you come to the kitchen and see what we should take to the old house?"
Gu Changfeng changed the subject and took his wife to the kitchen.
"Bang bang bang".
Just as Ruan Qiushui was thinking about what to bring, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
"Woof woof woof".
The guardian, Blackie, issued a warning as usual.
Who is it?
Liu Sanmei and Zhang Ma had difficulty taking care of the children, so Shen Yongjun stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.
"Father, Mother, we're here."
Outside the door, Ruan Hengzhi and He Ruyi, their cheeks red from the cold, stamped their feet and patted the snow off their bodies.
God knows how difficult it was for the couple to come to Hongqi Brigade from the town.
If the snow hadn't been shoveled all the way from the brigade entrance to their doorstep, they would have had to expend a lot of effort.
"Hengzhi, what brings you and your daughter-in-law here? Come inside and warm up."
Shen Yongjun excitedly stepped forward and hugged his son, then quickly took the things from his daughter-in-law's hands and walked inside excitedly.
"Old woman, look who's here?"
Shen Yongjun was the first to enter the house and put his things down.
Who is it?
"My Hengzhi and Ruyi have arrived? I am so happy."
Liu Sanmei was playing with her two little babies in the living room when she heard Shen Yongjun's words. She turned around and saw her son and daughter-in-law, whom she had been thinking about day and night.
"Dad, Mom, we've come to celebrate the New Year with you."
Ruan Hengzhi took off his coat, saw the thermos on the table, and quickly poured two cups of hot water to warm himself and his wife.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Yongjun patted Ruan Hengzhi on the shoulder with delight.
"Father, Mother. I heard from your letter that Ruan Ruan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Where are they?"
He Ruyi was far away, and the children had put up a homemade fence around the kang (heated brick bed) to block the view, so she didn't see it.
"Here they are. The two children just finished feeding and are in good spirits."
"Come over here right away."
Liu Sanmei moved two steps aside, allowing Ruan Hengzhi and He Ruyi to get closer.
"Oh my little darling, she looks just like a New Year's picture doll, Grandma can't bear to let her go."
He Ruyi picked up the baby, rocked him gently like a cradle, and even made a face at her.
"Giggle giggle."
Xiao Bao wasn't shy at all, and smiled very politely, even reaching out to grab the stray hairs that had fallen across He Ruyi's forehead.
"Grandpa's good grandson."
Ruan Hengzhi also picked up Da Bao.
Da Bao was staring at Ruan Hengzhi with his big, dark eyes.
Seeing his grandfather's face approaching, revealing his gums, drooling, and reaching out his head as if to take a bite.
"My goodness, you can't bite Grandpa's face!"
He wasn't afraid of the pain itself, but he was afraid that he would come all this way looking disheveled and dirty, and that he might upset the baby's stomach.
"Father, Mother, you've finally arrived."
Ruan Qiushui heard Ruan Hengzhi and Ruan Hengzhi's voices from the kitchen and quickly ran over, her eyes reddening.
"How old are you? Why are you still crying?"
He Ruyi chuckled and tapped Ruan Qiushui's nose.
"mother."
Ruan Qiushui threw herself into her mother's arms, acting coquettishly.
"Changfeng, how have you been lately?"
Ruan Hengzhi turned to look at his son-in-law and felt that he had matured a lot.
"fine."
Gu Changfeng nodded and began to tell Ruan Hengzhi about the events that had occurred during this period.
"You've done a great job."
Since his daughter hadn't suffered any loss, Ruan Hengzhi didn't care much about the friction between relatives.
As long as his son-in-law cares for his daughter, he has nothing to say.
"Changfeng, let's tidy up the room and let Mom and Dad stay with us."
Ruan Qiushui moved closer to Gu Changfeng, thinking that the storage room where miscellaneous items were kept could still be used.
