Father Gu got off the ox cart and threw himself into the captain's arms: "Lao Zhang, I feel bad. You have to drink with me tonight. I have a lot to tell you.
Alas, I am old now, I am no longer able to keep people. When I was in Beijing, I didn’t even have a brother to talk to.
The captain patted Gu's father on the back and quickly comforted him: "Old Gu, it's okay, as long as people are safe, everything else is just external things.
As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. When the situation improves, we can go back.
Don't be afraid, I have my brothers here. I will drink with you tonight, and I won't leave until I'm drunk.
Come on, let's go in first. The children will take these things. I know you're upset, so I've already prepared the wine.
Let's have a good drink tonight, get some sleep, and we'll be fine. You're already pretty good, I don't blame you. It's the world that's sick, and reality is too cruel."
Zhang's mother watched the captain take Gu's father in and asked Gu's mother anxiously, "Old Liu, are you okay? Don't think too much. As long as you come to us, everything will be fine.
We will live together in the future, don't worry, we will help you, and besides, we have the children."
"Lao Zhang, I'm fine. I'm quite open-minded. As long as everyone is safe and the family can be together, it doesn't matter.
Alas, Lao Gu was reluctant to leave the steel plant. He felt that he had paid so much and it was not worth it to be kicked out.
It's not a big deal for me. My job is just to resolve minor conflicts. If there was no salary, I would have quit long ago."
"Old Liu, you just have to be open-minded. It's okay to be anywhere. Things are better now than before. We've gotten through it before, so there's nothing to be afraid of now.
If you follow me from now on, I promise you won't go hungry. I'll take you to do easy work and you can support yourself.
When we're tired and don't want to work anymore, we help take care of our grandchildren. We've been doing that job for so many years, it's time to take a break.
I made your favorite hand-rolled noodles. There are two sauces, one with tomato and egg, and one with pickled cabbage and minced pork. They're all your favorites, and I guarantee you'll be full.
Zhang's mother and Gu's mother took their things and went in. Zhang Tiantian said to Gu Ranran, "Ranran, don't worry. My parents are here with my uncle and aunt.
When they were in the army, they were neighbors, especially my father and uncle, who were comrades. They just need to chat, and time will dilute everything.
"Tiantian, as long as my parents get here safely, I won't worry anymore.
Beijing is in such a mess right now, it's good that they're here. It's just that my parents are still devastated, but it's okay. I'll just spend more time with them from now on."
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran returned to the living room, and the team leader and Gu's father had already started drinking.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai also joined in drinking, and they also picked up some food for the captain and Gu's father.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran looked at each other, as if saying, "Your husband is great!"
Mother Zhang was mixing noodles for Mother Gu and whispering to her at the same time.
Gu Ranran looked at Gu Zili eating barbecue alone and handed him a bottle of soda: "Brother, eat more and eat your fill. Don't worry or be sad, sister will take good care of you.
I've found a school for you, right in our brigade. You can go there when the next semester starts. The school is very close to my home, only a 5-minute walk away. You don't have to worry about being late for school anymore, and you can go home during breaks whenever you want.
"Sister, I'm not sad. Mom and Dad are reluctant to leave their jobs, but I won't be reluctant to leave school.
Besides, I am very happy to live here with you. My brother-in-law can also take me out to play. He has already promised me that after I have rested well, he will take me to go sports car racing.
My brother-in-law said that when I grow up, he will teach me how to drive a truck. He will teach me how to hunt, grill, fish, and cook..."
Gu Ranran was still thinking that when Gu Zili saw his mother and Gu's mother sad, he would also feel sad. Unexpectedly, he was overthinking it. He was a fan of his brother-in-law, and he was happy as long as Lu Hai was around.
"Brother, eat quickly and stop talking about your brother-in-law, he's right next to you.
I really can't stand it anymore. You keep talking about your brother-in-law. I'd better eat more barbecue and fill my mouth with it."
In order to provoke Gu Ranran, Gu Zili moved the stool closer to Lu Hai, ate barbecue with his back leaning against Lu Hai, and gave Gu Ranran a provocative look.
"Hey, Gu Zili, why are you so arrogant? Lu Hai is my husband first, and then your brother-in-law, okay? Looking at you, you think having a brother-in-law is a big deal!"
Zhang Tiantian laughed at the angry Gu Ranran and joked, "Ranran, your brother is competing with you for your husband now. What will you do if he competes with you for your husband again after the child is born?"
"Tiantian, you're probably stupid. The child likes Lu Hai, isn't that good? Let Lu Hai take care of the child more.
Whenever I think about the fact that they are both sons, I get a little scared. Look at Gu Zili, sometimes I rub my eyes.
And they're twins. I'm scared to go out alone, one on each side. Especially after they learned to walk, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up with them. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me scared."
"Ranran, it's okay. Aren't there so many people here? Let's raise the child together. Whoever has time can take care of the child. He will be fine when he grows up."
"Hey, it's a good thing there are so many people. I always feel like I haven't grown up yet and am still a child. I'm scared just thinking about taking care of children."
"That's right, time flies so fast. We moved so fast. I got a fiancé in two days, got married in half a year, and got pregnant in just over a month after marriage.
