Chapter 120 Father and Mother Feng Arrive

For the birthdays of their two grandsons, Su's father and mother prepared a large table of dishes, including deep-fried fish, braised spareribs, deep-fried meatballs, etc., which are all Su's father's specialties.

The two children are grown up now, and Su He no longer restricts them from eating like he did when they were young. She lets them eat whatever they want and even gives them soda to drink.

Su's mother was afraid that her two grandchildren would get stomachaches after drinking the cold soda, so she heated it up with hot water.

After the meal, the family went to the photo studio to take photos.

"Did third brother say he would come back for the New Year?" Su He asked Su's mother.

Su's mother nodded and said, "Come back and bring your third sister-in-law, your uncle and aunt Feng with you."

"Really? That's great."

"Where are the big brothers? Can they come back?"

"Your eldest brother can't come back, and the child is still young. He has to travel all the way and wait until the child grows up." Su's mother said.

Su He thought so too. Mianmian was only a few months old, not even a year old. If her elder brother and his family came back, they would definitely come back as a family of three. It was impossible for her elder brother to come back alone.

Taking family photos will have to wait until later.

The New Year of 1966 was on January 21st. Su Che, Feng Shuning, Feng's father and Feng's mother arrived in the county on January 18th. They rested for a day at Su's house and came to Su He's house on the 19th.

Su He mentioned this to Gu's mother. Her third sister-in-law and her family would come over around the Chinese New Year, so the food and everything was prepared. However, since there were no mobile phones as a communication tool at that time, it was not clear when they would come.

Gu's mother was shocked and quickly asked Hongxing Xueer to go find their grandmother.

Father Gu is now obsessed with listening to the radio. In summer, he goes to the tree at the entrance of the village to listen. In winter, it is cold, so he listens in the brigade room.

"Just tell your grandma that Xiaohe's third brother and his friends are here."

"Go quickly."

Only Su He, Gu's mother and several children are at home. Gu Jianhua, Gu's third sister and Team Leader Wang are all at work. They are not on holiday yet and will only have a holiday tomorrow, New Year's Eve.

Su He made tea for the four of them, "Uncle and aunt, you must be cold on the road."

Mother Gu quickly took out the fried rice, sour milk, tofu milk and other things.

Father and Mother Feng said politely, "Don't bother, sister."

Su Che and Feng Shuning had been there before and were familiar with the place, so they helped take the things from Gu's mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Feng cherished their two babies very much. They each held one in their arms. After a while of cherishing them very much, Su Che, the uncle, cherished them even more.

I hugged him as soon as I came in, and now I hug him again.

"Do you two still recognize me?"

"Haven't we three seen each other for over a year?"

It’s true that I haven’t seen you for more than a year. I saw you once last summer when I came back, so it’s been a year and a half this year.

"I recognize you, you are my third uncle." said my sister.

Su Che asked his brother again, "Changan, what about you?"

Little Gu Changan said, "My sister said you are my third uncle."

The two kids were not child prodigies, so it was impossible for them to remember exactly when they had met their third uncle, but they vaguely remembered that the man in front of them had held them in his arms before.

Red Star Xueer came jogging to the brigade. In the brigade room, there was a large group of people, all listening attentively to the story being told on the radio.

Hongxing pulled Xue'er through the crowd and came to Gu's father, shouting, "Grandma, someone is home. My aunt and my third brother are here."

Upon hearing this, Gu's father stood up from his chair and asked, "How many people are here?" Xiaohe said that the third son's father-in-law and mother-in-law were also here.

Xueer: "Four. My aunt calls them uncle and aunt."

After hearing what Xue'er said, Gu's father understood that it was the third son's father-in-law and mother-in-law who were university teachers who came together.

He turned off the radio, and called the team leader and the village secretary, "You two are well-informed, come with me."

"Relatives from the capital are here."

"I'm so dumb I don't even know what to say."

The village secretary knew a little about the situation on Gu Jianhua's side. The eldest brother was a soldier, the second brother worked in a factory, and the third brother was a student at Peking University.

Their old wife asked Aunt Gu if they were in need of a partner or something, and they said they all had one. The third son's partner was found in the capital, and they went to the same school.

I heard that both of their parents are university teachers.

The village secretary and the team leader did not refuse. They wanted to meet the university teacher from the capital.

The two children, Hong Xing and Xue Er, were quick on their feet and arrived home before Gu's father and his family. Before they could even sit down, Gu's mother called them, "Go find your second aunt to come and help."

So the two kids went out again.

Father Feng and Mother Feng were drinking tea and chatting with Mother Gu when Father Gu came over with the team leader and the village secretary.

The moment they saw Mr. and Mrs. Feng, the village secretary and the team leader felt their eyes light up and said that they were worthy of being university teachers.

The temperament that surrounds you, yes, it’s called temperament.

I don’t know how to describe them, they look very different.

The feeling it gives people is that the clothes are very clean, and there is not a single patch on the clothes.

Gu's mother introduced it to several people.

"My old man."

Father Feng and Mother Feng stood up. Father Feng smiled and shook hands with Father Gu. He held each other's hands with both hands and said,

"Hello, bro."

Father Gu hated himself for being so tongue-tied that he didn't know what to say for a moment and could only nod. He was a little angry at himself and vowed to practice more in the future.

However, the awkwardness didn't last too long, as Gu's mother introduced the village secretary and the team leader to Feng's father and mother.

These two people are not like Gu's father. They talk little but are very talkative.

The village secretary smiled and said, "When the two kids come over, they'll say that there are distinguished guests at home, and they're looking for Uncle Gu."

"No, no, no, you are not a distinguished guest." Father and Mother Feng said politely.

The captain said, "Why not? Not only the Gu family, but also our entire village, he is a distinguished guest."

The captain and secretary were there, and we had a great chat.

At this time, Hong Xing Xue'er called Second Sister Gu over. Su He was in the house pouring tea for the elders and chatting with her sister-in-law Feng Shuning.

Mother Gu and second sister Gu were cooking in the kitchen.

In their time, college students are as rare as the top scholar in ancient times, let alone college teachers.

Nature has put a filter on them.

Therefore, the village secretary and the team leader liked to chat with Mr. and Mrs. Feng very much. They felt that the tone of voice of these educated people was different from theirs.

It makes people feel comfortable when listening to it.

He speaks softly and smiles softly.

Mother Gu prepared six dishes: lamb ribs stewed with radish, blunt chicken with potatoes, braised pork with dried beans, fried mushrooms, pork liver with soy sauce, and moo shu pork.

Add some side dishes like canned food, peanuts, and pickled vegetables.

The staple food is dumplings.

The dumplings with sauerkraut pork filling do not need to be made right away, as some have been made a few days ago and are frozen outside.

Gu Jianhua originally planned to have lunch with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but when he heard that his third brother and his family had gone home, he went straight home.

"Jianhua, it's time for you to get off work." Father and Mother Feng greeted.

Gu Jianhua smiled and went over to greet Mr. and Mrs. Feng, and also greeted his third brother and his wife.

It was time for Gu Jianhua to have dinner. Not long after he came in, he wiped the table and started eating.

The guests from afar, Father and Mother Feng, sat down. The young man, Gu Jianhua, poured wine for everyone and asked his third brother,

"Would you like to drink something, Third Brother?"

Su Che smiled and said, "If you drink, I'll drink with you." Little brat.

Gu Jianhua, "I have to go to the bureau this afternoon, so I can only drink less."

"Then give less."
