Gu's living room.
The remarriage banquet was held at two tables, one for adults and one for children.
As soon as the five children entered, Gu Lichen and Xiaobao led them to the table where the children were.
Upon seeing them, Bai Yuchuan immediately stepped forward and embraced the two of them.
"We haven't seen each other for many years."
"Yes. It's been so many years. Why are you back in Beijing?"
Bai Yuchuan chuckled, "I got into a school in Beijing, so I'm coming back to study."
“My grandparents, parents and I have all returned to work. As soon as the college entrance examination resumed, their transfer orders came.”
Although Gu Lichen was just a child, he understood the implications, since his parents often talked to him about these pros and cons.
The Bai family is a family of scholars, but they were sent to the countryside under the guise of being labeled as rightists. Now that the country needs educational talent, they should be able to return to their original jobs.
"That's wonderful! It will make it easier for us to meet up in the future. My mother has also been admitted to a university in Beijing. When we visit her, we'll also visit you."
"That's wonderful! We can see each other more often now. When you visit your aunt at Beijing University, you can stay at my house. My house has been returned, so you'll have a place to stay."
"Alright. It's a deal."
The two boys chatted amiably, while Xiao Bao looked helpless; it seemed that people with similar items were more likely to have conversations.
Gu Sishi sat to the side feeding the child. She was also married. Her husband was introduced to her by her grandfather. He was a good person, came from a good family, and doted on her.
Seeing that the two children were chatting happily, Gu Sishi reminded them, "Let's sit down and eat first, otherwise it will get cold. You can eat and chat at the same time."
"Okay, Auntie."
"Okay, Auntie."
Gu Sishi smiled broadly, for now there was hope for the future, and these were truly good days.
My older sister came back from the countryside.
There will be many more opportunities for the family to meet in the future.
very nice.
When Gu Sishi's husband saw that his wife was feeding the child and she hadn't eaten anything, he came over and took the child away.
"I'll feed the baby. You go to the table and have something to eat first."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Sishi had barely sat down when she sensed that something was off.
She happened to sit down next to Gu Siqing and craned her neck to ask Gu Siqing why the atmosphere suddenly felt so low.
What happened?
Gu Siqing covered her mouth with her hand and whispered about what had just happened, "Our mom is acting crazy again."
"What serious illness has she developed this time?"
"She was complaining that your second brother was heartless in sending her to the far northwest instead of Willow Village."
Gu Sishi has grown up now and has her own understanding of what happened in the past.
Her mother's decision to be sent to the far northwest was entirely her own fault; who else could she blame?
"Someone like her... still wants to use her second brother's connections to get herself sent to a labor camp in Liushu Village. I really don't know what kind of pipe dream she has."
"Has she forgotten how badly her second brother was implicated by him back then?"
Gu Siqing nodded, "That's just how our mom is. She'll be very unhappy about anything or anyone that's not good for her, and she can hold a grudge for a lifetime."
"He hasn't forgotten that his second brother was disqualified from promotion because of her, has he?"
"She's long forgotten. She still thinks about Qiao Xiyan. I heard that when she was sent down to the Northwest, Qiao Xiyan often wrote to encourage her, which gave her the motivation to persevere."
Gu Sishi sneered, "Actually, I think our mother is quite suitable to be Qiao Xiyan's mother."
"He still can't forget her after all these years. He even went to the orphanage to see Qiao Xiyan's son a while ago and I heard he bought him a lot of delicious food."
Speaking of this, Gu Siqing was furious. When they first returned to Beijing, Li Yaxian didn't even visit their home. Instead, she gave all her money to the orphanage staff to buy them food and clothes.
When she questioned her, she immediately said, "They are very pitiful in the orphanage."
She was rendered speechless.
Si Nian started muttering to himself as soon as he sat down, which made me dizzy.
If she hadn't called Yingying to persuade her, Si Nian wouldn't have shown up here at all today.
She's the perfect example of someone who meant well but ended up with bad results.
She will no longer concern herself with her mother's affairs.
Her father's life was ruined by her mother, even though he had already promised not to remarry.
As a result, after crying a few times, he happily went to remarry her.
She was also very helpless.
Anyway, with her dad watching over her, nothing will probably happen.
Today's gathering was completely unnecessary for her.
She stopped caring about anything.
Whatever.
Li Yaxian was criticizing him, but Gu Sinian simply ignored her.
He wouldn't have shown up here at all today if it weren't for giving his wife face.
"I'm full, you can continue eating."
He pulled out a chair and walked away, saying to the children's table, "Children, shall we go find our great-grandparents?"
The five children looked at each other, and they could sense that something was off about the banquet at the adults' table.
She left the banquet cleanly and walked towards Gu Sinian.
Li Yaxian was furious when she saw this.
"What do you mean by this, you brat? You've only been sitting here for less than half an hour and you're already leaving? Did you come here to cause trouble?"
Gu Sinian sneered, "If today weren't my and my father's big day, do you think I could have put up with you lecturing me for half an hour?"
"I'm already fed up with all that nonsense you're spouting. You're making a big deal out of me, it's really annoying."
"Don't worry, I won't show up in front of you anymore."
Li Yaxian exploded, standing up directly to confront Gu Sinian, "You're a division commander now. Just say a few words to your superiors to make sure Qiao Xiyan has a better time in prison. Can't you do that for your mother's sake?"
Gu Sinian scoffed, "What is Qiao Xiyan anyway...? Does she think I'm going to put in a good word for her with my superiors so she can have a better time in prison? Don't be ridiculous."
"Is it really that difficult to just say one sentence?"
Gu Sinian refused to communicate with him, his face darkened, and he left with the five children, leaving everyone looking at each other awkwardly.
Everyone thought the matter was over, but Gu Yuanhong, who prided himself on his good temper in front of Li Yaxian, suddenly flipped the table.
Everyone froze after hearing a loud bang.
Gu Yuanhong looked at Li Yaxian with regret, "We don't need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I don't think it's necessary. I've really put up with you for a very, very long time."
"If you hadn't been whispering all that nonsense in my ear, saying things like life was tough, would I have let you go back to your hometown?"
“I’ve done everything you asked for, what else are you dissatisfied with? Our son finally came home today, why are you bringing up Qiao Xiyan? If you like her so much, why don’t you live next door to her from now on, so you can see each other every day.”
"This is the end of our relationship. I will not get a marriage certificate with you again. Let's just leave it at that. We are really not suitable for each other."
"I made so many preparations for you, and you... pulled this stunt today. I feel like such a fool."
After saying this, he kicked Li Yaxian out of the Gu family.
