At the end of the year Gu Chengyou was born.
Gu's father and mother said they missed home and wanted to go back to their hometown.
Since bringing Gu's father over, the family has been reunited.
They haven't been to Gujialing for many years.
Except for Dabao, Erbao and Sansan, the other children did not have any deep impression of Gujialing.
Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun decided to take the old man back to visit before the New Year.
Several children stayed in Beijing and waited for them to come back to celebrate the New Year together.
Thanks to Gu Tingzhou.
They now have special cars to pick them up, professional drivers, and attendants when they travel, but they didn't bring them along this time.
The family of four can be said to have returned home in glory.
Before leaving, Li Qingyun bought some specialties from Beijing and planned to give them to old acquaintances in the village.
After arriving in the county town, they prepared to have a meal and rest before returning home.
After all, I haven’t been back for many years, and I probably can’t live in my house anymore, and I can’t cook.
Over the years, this old county town has changed a lot, with each passing day seeing new things.
There are more and more street vendors doing business on the roadside.
Li Qingyun originally wanted to find a better restaurant to sit down and have a good meal.
Mr. Gu said that he wanted to eat some pickled vegetables from his hometown at a roadside stall.
Nature can only satisfy the old man's wishes.
A few well-dressed people sat down at a roadside stall, instantly attracting the attention of passers-by.
They ate as if no one was around.
A little beggar stood in front of Li Qingyun at some point, drooling as he looked at the food in her bowl.
The little face was dirty and there was a foul smell all over the body.
Li Qingyun kindly handed him a steamed bun.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened in an instant.
The little beggar snatched the steamed bun with one hand, and with his other hand, he picked up the bag that Li Qingyun had placed on her lap and ran away.
The driver Xiao Fang immediately stood up and chased after him.
A little beggar definitely can't outrun Xiao Fang, who is a special forces soldier.
He was soon caught.
The little beggar knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Please spare me. I don't want to steal. If I don't steal, I won't have food to eat. He will beat me to death."
According to the little beggar, there were about ten other little beggars working with him, all working for a man named Brother Yi.
Under the guise of begging, they actually steal and rob.
If you don't hand in the stolen items, you will be beaten to a disability.
Previously, there were two children who stole some money and wanted to escape from his clutches. They ran to the station, but were caught by Brother Yi and had their legs broken, forcing them to continue begging.
The remaining children were so scared that they didn't dare to think of escaping.
When Gu Tingzhou heard this, he was shocked and thought that it was too rampant.
So he asked the child to take Xiao Fang to find the Brother Yi he mentioned.
The child didn't dare at first.
Xiao Fang showed off his skills casually, and the child saw that his fighting skills were so high, and then he believed that he could save himself.
He quickly took Xiao Fang to find Brother Yi's hiding place.
Xiao Fang caught the man named Brother Yi and took him directly to the public security bureau.
Gu Tingzhou knew that Brother Yi dared to be so arrogant, and he probably had someone protecting him.
So he directly revealed his identity, not to use his power to intimidate others, but to put some pressure on these law enforcement officers so that they would not dare to let this matter go easily.
Sure enough, after the other party knew where he came from.
The director directly assured him that he would severely punish Brother Yi, find out all the relevant personnel behind him, and properly deal with these little beggars.
Only then did Gu Tingzhou bring his family back to Gujialing.
Hasn't returned for many years.
Things have changed and people have changed.
My childhood friends are now nearly fifty years old and have children and grandchildren around them.
Gu's father and mother also met the old friends who were still alive in the village.
When I recall what happened back then, my clothes are wet with tears.
Li Qingyun took Xiao Fang with her to distribute gifts to every household in the village.
Some of them were specialties brought back from the capital and given to familiar families.
Part of it was rice, flour, oil, fruit and other things that Li Qingyun bought in the county town.
Every family has it.
It was rare for the village to be so lively as everyone gathered in the drying yard, waiting to receive their things.
Li Qingyun met Widow Wang again.
She was already incredibly old, with gray hair and a hunched back. She looked like two generations older than herself.
Years of labor reform have damaged her health, and now she is barely surviving.
She was a little excited when she saw Li Qingyun.
"Thank you and your father-in-law for helping me take care of Ni'er and Huzi over the years.
I will remember your kindness. If I can't repay you in this life, I will work like a slave in the next life to repay you."
Li Qingyun was filled with emotion for a moment.
"You've already repaid me. Thank you for telling the truth that year and giving us justice."
The two smiled at each other.
Widow Wang walked away slowly, carrying the things she had received.
Li Qingyun watched her walk away.
Suddenly a sentence came to my mind.
In fact, you have already seen some people for the last time in their lives.
This might be the last time she sees Widow Wang!
Widow Wang's son is now the village party secretary. He has already married and has children. Her daughter Ni'er also married into a good family in the commune.
That's good.
Aunt Jiang, who secretly sold pork to her back then, is now very old, hard of hearing and blind. She just keeps holding her hand and saying, Qingyun, you're back.
After meeting these old people, Li Qingyun felt sad.
The house in my hometown has long been uninhabitable.
That night, several people returned to the county town to settle down.
A woman showed up uninvited.
Several people met each other.
The woman opposite said, "Why you?"
know?
Li Qingyun looked carefully at the middle-aged woman opposite her who was wearing heavy makeup.
Somewhat familiar.
Gu Tingzhou recognized her at a glance, after all, they had spent most of their lives competing with each other in their previous life.
"Tian Meixue, what are you doing here?"
Tian Meixue's face showed some surprise at seeing an old friend, but she also felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what she was about to do.
Only then did Li Qingyun understand where this sense of familiarity came from.
She has aged a lot and gained weight.
"What do you want in exchange for letting my son go? Name your price!"
"Your son? We don't have one... Wait, that Brother Yi, is he your son?" Li Qingyun finally reacted.
It turns out that Brother Yi is Tian Meixue’s son Chen Yi.
How did he become like this?
In the original book, he is the male protagonist, with a successful family and career, and even Dabao and Erbao lost to him.
Now he has become a street thug and criminal who cheats and deceives people.
Li Qingyun expressed disbelief.
"Stop that. Your son is already suspected of committing a crime. No amount of money can save him." Gu Tingzhou walked straight past her and into the guesthouse.
Li Qingyun hurried to follow.
Tian Meixue knew that Chen Yi had really hit a wall this time.
She squatted down, exhausted both physically and mentally, and cried bitterly.
She hasn't had an easy time these years.
