Let's talk about Gujia Village.
The third daughter-in-law of Captain Gu's family went home to visit relatives and stayed away for three months.
There was no news at all during this period, which led to all sorts of rumors among the villagers.
This has certainly given the peaceful Gu Family Village some more to talk about.
The atmosphere at home, especially in Gujia, has been extremely oppressive lately.
Although Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu usually looked down on Lin Xue, a city girl who couldn't lift a finger or do anything strenuous.
However, if this person really doesn't come back, they will also suffer the villagers' disdain.
So, after this incident, Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu no longer wanted to drive away their third daughter-in-law.
Although the third son's wife was a bit lazy and didn't get along well with them, she still gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Gu family.
They figured they could do less housework; they didn't want to endure the villagers' gossip anymore.
The elderly couple in the Gu family were also very worried. They had disagreed with their third son's decision to marry Lin, the educated youth!
What he feared was that one day, when Lin, the educated youth, returned to the city, he would abandon his son and this family.
What I fear most is that this situation will happen again!
But now that their third daughter-in-law has been gone for three months without a word, how can the old couple sit still?
It can be said that everyone in the Gu family, from top to bottom, young and old, is extremely worried, but the one who is most worried is Gu Heping, the person directly involved.
You have to understand that the original owner was his wife. If his wife really ran away and abandoned him and his two sons, how would he live in the future?
...
Just when the Gu family was living in constant fear, a postman riding a green bicycle arrived at their doorstep.
"Gu Heping, is Gu Heping home?"
The postman's voice kept ringing out, and with the ringing of the bicycle bell, Grandma Gu hurriedly ran out of the house.
"Hello comrade, Gu Heping is my son. He's at work right now and not home. I wonder what business you have with him?"
This was the first time the postman had visited in the past three months, and Mrs. Gu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
"There's a telegram from Comrade Gu Heping in town. Could you please go and pick it up as soon as possible? It seems quite urgent!"
In those days, if someone could send a telegram, it must be something urgent.
So the postman didn't dare to delay. He emphasized this to Grandma Gu and then rode his bicycle to deliver mail to other homes.
Upon hearing what the postman said, Grandma Gu immediately ran to the field to find Gu Heping and asked him to go to town as soon as possible.
Regardless of the chaos and turmoil that followed, Gu Heping finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the contents of the telegram.
That evening, the Gu family sat in the main room, and Gu Heping explained the contents of the telegram.
"Great, it's good that the third brother's wife is back! You guys remember, once she's back, you can't tease her anymore!"
"They are city people after all, they are not the same as us country folk!"
After hearing the contents of the telegram from Gu Heping, Old Man Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Others felt the same way.
Although when the original owner was at home, these people really didn't like the original owner's lazy wife.
Refusing to participate in collective labor is one thing, but this third son's wife is really exceptionally lazy; she's unwilling to even lift a finger to help with cooking or housework.
"Dad, we understand. We promise we won't say anything sarcastic when my sister-in-law comes back!"
"Yes, Dad! We will definitely get along well with our third sister-in-law!"
Usually, it's just the eldest and second daughters-in-law who don't get along with the third daughter-in-law, so they're bound to stand up and express their opinions now.
They had really had enough of what others were saying during this time. Rather than being gossiped about by the villagers, they would rather endure the original owner's laziness.
...
Early that morning, Gu Heping drove the village's oxcart toward Liulin Town.
Gu Ming and Gu Fang originally wanted to go with them to pick up their mother, but they were stopped by Grandma Gu.
Gu Heping promised to bring candy for the two children, which finally appeased them.
Along the way, many villagers joked with Gu Heping, asking if he was going to pick up his wife from the oxcart that he was leading to town so early in the morning.
"Gu Laosan, why are you running to town so early in the morning? Is your wife back?"
"Yes, Uncle Yang! My wife is coming back today, so I need to go to the train station to pick her up early!"
Liulin Town is the closest town to the county seat, so it won't be too far for Gu Heping to drive the oxcart there.
It takes about three hours to get from the village to the train station, so a round trip would take six hours, but it's quite close compared to other villages.
Lin Xue spent three days on the train. During those three days, except for going to the toilet and getting hot water, she basically just lay in her sleeper berth.
I must say, aside from the dizziness caused by the train moving, sleeping in a sleeper berth is quite comfortable.
An ordinary person definitely couldn't stand it; sleeping like that would probably leave them sore all over.
Fortunately, she had the cultivation method obtained from the stone tablet, so even though the original owner's body did not have a cultivation spiritual root, she could still cultivate.
At least my physical condition is much stronger than that of an average person.
Add to that her incredible strength, and Lin Xue felt that with her physical abilities, she could practically walk sideways in the 1970s.
Any human trafficker would be doomed if they encountered her!
In this era, trains stop at every station to let passengers on and off.
