However, Father Gu didn't dare say this in front of Mother Gu. He could only watch reluctantly as Mother Gu left a little of everything for him, and then packed up his favorite red sausage, dried sausage and dried fish!
After packing these, Gu's mother called the guard and said:
"Xiao Li, load these into the car, we'll go to the old man's place later!"
Xiao Li agreed and moved the rice, millet, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc. into the car. After everything was moved, Mother Gu packed up and went to Grandpa Gu's house with Father Gu!
When they arrived at Grandpa Gu's house, Xiao Liu moved all these things into Gu's house.
Seeing that Father and Mother Gu brought so many things, Grandpa Gu thought that they were New Year's goods bought by Mother Gu, and joked:
"Xiao Weng, we bought the New Year's goods early this year, and we sold so many. Is this because Yan Lei and his wife are coming back, or will Yan Ting be able to come back this year?"
Mother Gu was raised by Grandpa Gu, and her relationship with Grandpa Gu is no worse than that of a biological child. She said angrily:
"Dad, look at what you said. If those two brats don't come back, we won't be able to have a good meal during the New Year!"
"Besides, I didn't buy this. It was sent by the three children of the Lin family!"
Grandpa Gu was surprised:
"The three children of the Lin family? Did the second child help to send the two and Guoping to Heilongjiang Province this year? They sent so much, it seems that the two children are doing well in Heilongjiang Province?"
Mother Gu explained:
"It's not Guoping. Didn't Guoping just send some cakes? These were sent by Guoping's two younger brothers and the little girl that Lao Lin took away after marrying her!"
Hearing what Mother Gu said, Grandpa Gu was even more surprised:
"Yin Tian's little girl? Why is she also in Heilongjiang Province? Was she also raised by the second brother?"
Mother Gu just read the letter. Lin Manman briefly explained the reason, but how could she talk about her family's affairs to others? However, Mother Gu had seen everything and guessed what was going on. She explained to Grandpa Gu:
"Didn't Lao Lin's little girl get taken away by the woman he married later? But Lao Lin ran away before he could do anything to that woman. How could she be good to the child?"
"I guess she'll get married again, which is not good for the child. The child doesn't have a job in Beijing, so he will go to the countryside!"
"The child didn't explain in detail, only saying that he went to Heilongjiang Province as an educated youth by mistake, and happened to be in the production team where Lao Lin was, just across the mountain. Dad, don't you think this is a coincidence?"
Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded:
"I didn't expect to have such an opportunity. This is really the fate of father and daughter. Now I don't have to worry about Yintian's life. With three children around, I can always take good care of him!"
Mother Gu also responded:
"That's right. With three good children by my side, no matter how hard life is, Lao Lin's heart is happy!"
Seeing how highly Mother Gu spoke of Lin Manman and the other two, Grandpa Gu asked curiously:
"You are not someone who praises others easily, but today you are full of praise for the three children of the Lin family. Why do you like these three children?"
Father Gu explained to Grandpa Gu:
"The three children have good personalities, and I think they are good too!"
"Dad also saw those things just now. It wouldn't be difficult for a family like ours to get them, but it would be extremely difficult to get them in Heilongjiang Province!"
"But the kids didn't mention anything in their letters. They just said they made it themselves. If there's anything we like, just let them know in the letter and they'll go get it in exchange!"
"Not only does she know how to be grateful, but she also doesn't take credit for it. Not only does Weng Hong look good, but I look good too!"
After hearing this, Grandpa Gu said with great emotion:
"When Yin Tian was taken away, the children were still very young. I was afraid that if they experienced this misfortune at such a young age, it would affect their character!"
"Now it seems that I was worrying too much. The quality of the children is determined at birth. These are three good children. Yin Tian can be considered my support in my later years!"
As Grandpa Gu and his parents were talking, Xiao Li helped Aunt Zhang, who was taking care of Grandpa Gu's daily life, bring out the dishes and say:
"Commander, Teacher Weng, the food is ready, let's eat and chat!"
Grandpa Gu is old and his appetite is not very good. He just nodded when he heard this and went to the table with little interest. However, he saw a plate of sliced dry sausage, a plate of sliced red sausage and a small dish of spicy dried fish on the table, and he immediately felt hungry.
He immediately sat down, picked up a piece of red sausage, put it in his mouth and tasted it. The smoked and salty aroma of the red sausage was just right. Grandpa Gu couldn't help but praise it:
"This sausage is cooked just right, and tastes much more authentic than the one Damei brought back from her business trip last time!"
Father Gu was already used to Grandpa Gu calling him Damei, so he just reminded him:
"Dad, you can call me anytime, but when Yan Lei's wife comes over, you have to give me some face!"
Grandpa Gu didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to taste a piece of dried sausage. The faint aroma of wine and sweetness also made Grandpa Gu like it very much. He also tasted the spicy dried fish. The spicy and dry fragrance was what Grandpa Gu liked the most. He called Aunt Zhang and said:
"Xiao Zhang, go get the wine I hid and pour me a glass. It would be a shame not to drink with such delicious food!"
"This is really delicious, especially the dried fish. It's so tasty. I've sent as much as you can. Xiao Weng, please send them all over tomorrow!"
Weng Hong smiled and said:
"I think Dad likes it, so I'll keep one plate of this dried fish and bring the rest. But, Dad, you can't eat too much. These have a strong taste. Just eat a little with rice. If you eat too much, your blood pressure won't be able to handle it!"
Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said:
"Don't listen to those people in white coats scaring people off. I know my own blood pressure very well. There's nothing wrong with me!"
Fearing that Weng Hong would not agree, Grandpa Gu reluctantly agreed:
"I don't drink alcohol, I only eat this small dish for one meal, it's okay!"
Weng Hong also knew that the old man had no taste in his mouth, so these things could go well with the meal. Although a little stimulating, as long as he didn't drink alcohol, it would be fine. It was better than not eating anything!
Weng Hong agreed:
"Dad, you have to keep your word. Today you are happy, so just drink a small cup. You can't drink it at other times!"
"If you like this dried fish, I'll write to Lao Lin's daughter and ask her to make it for you!"
Grandpa Gu shook his head in horror and said:
"No, no, I don't like it much either..."
Afraid that he would say he didn’t like it, he would not be able to eat the dried fish later, so Grandpa Gu changed his words and said:
"What I mean is, after eating all this, I will definitely not like it. You don't have to do it, you really don't have to!"
Grandpa Gu thought to himself that his eldest daughter-in-law was so considerate in every way, no worse than his own daughter. But her cooking was so bad. I don’t know why!
