This year's New Year's Eve is special because Gu Ranran and his wife and the Gu family couple plan to take their children to the cave to find Gu Ziqiang and his wife and the Mu family couple to celebrate New Year's Eve together.
They had discussed this a week in advance. Gu Ziqiang and his wife and the Mu family couple had not seen Gu Xingchen for more than a month.
While everyone is happily celebrating New Year's Eve and no one is paying attention to them, let them meet their children and have a reunion dinner together.
While the villagers were taking a nap, Gu Ranran and the others quietly went up the mountain with their belongings and people. Zhang Tiantian and the others stayed at home to look after the house. For safety reasons, Gu Ziqiang and the others decided not to set out until after dark.
Gu Ranran, Gu's father, and Zhang's mother each carried a child on their backs, while Lu Hai and Gu Zili carried the food and dishes. It took them about 40 minutes to reach the cave in the mountains, and they were all exhausted.
As soon as they arrived at the cave, Gu Ranran quickly put Zijie down and Lu Hai took him over. Lu Ranran sat down and panted: "Hey, it seems that I need to exercise. I am getting weaker and weaker. I can't do it after just over 40 minutes of climbing."
Mother Gu also panted and replied: "Ran Ran, it's not your fault that you are weak. The main reason is that the road is uphill. Who wouldn't be tired after climbing for more than 40 minutes?
When I first started carrying Zihao, I felt like he weighed 20 pounds, but now I feel like he weighs 30 pounds. My legs feel weak as I walk."
Lu Hai quickly carried Zihao over, holding Zijie in his other hand: "Mom, Ranran, thank you two for your hard work. Sit down and take a rest, and drink some water. When we go back tonight, finish the food. You can take the empty ones. I'll carry Zihao on my back, and I can also hold Zijie."
"Lu Hai, it's okay, I'm carrying my eldest grandson on my back, it's not that hard.
I also want to thank you for working so hard just to strengthen their family.
They were demoted, but not only did you not despise them, you also kept running around for them, spending both money and manpower. You have worked hard.
You, even though you are my son-in-law, take better care of me and Ranran's father than my biological son, Ziqiang. We can feel how good you are to us."
Gu Ranran hugged her mother's arm and started to act coquettishly: "Mom, I'm awesome, I found such an awesome son-in-law for you.
Don’t think that I am a daughter and that my son will take care of me in my old age.
You raised me like an older brother since I was a child. You didn't show favoritism to anyone and you even treated me better.
I am also your child. My older brothers can provide for you and take care of you in your old age, and so can I.
Nothing else matters, as long as our family is well. My brother's condition is only temporary. As long as we get through this, our family will get better and better."
Father Gu also said: "Ran Ran is right, it is society that is sick, Ziqiang and the others are not wrong, they are just blocking the way for others.
We just have to hold on and get through this. As long as we secretly support them, they too will make it through this.”
Gu Zili broke the sad atmosphere: "Sister, Mom, Mom, hold Zijie and Zihao, my brother-in-law and I are going to light a fire and make some delicious food. We need to make barbecue and hot pot. It's ready. We have to make it first so that my brother and the others can eat it when they come.
My brother must have suffered a lot, and he must have become thin due to hunger. I will make him something delicious to nourish him."
