Chapter 208 209. Reunited
"This is the third brother Lejia," Gu Wenheng saw Gu Lejia still standing there in a daze, "I don't recognize him, this is your uncle Mingqiu, why don't you call for help."
"Uncle Mingqiu," in front of Gu Wenheng, Gu Lejia could only helplessly call this uncle who was younger than himself.
"Where have you been, kid? Your mother has been distracted all day because of you. Now she's finally back." Gu Mingqiu looked at his childhood playmate and junior, and was relieved to be sure that he had not suffered much.
"You still don't know where your home is? Come on, I have nothing to do here, I'll take you back."
"Then I'll trouble Mingqiu. I just want to go to my father's place first." Gu Wenheng turned his head and looked at Le Jia again, "Do you want to go back first, or come with me to see your grandparents?"
Gu Mingqiu also realized that there was something wrong with his words at this time. "Look at my brain, of course we have to go to see Uncle Dashi and the others first, but I will help you make the trip, and Yuanjin will also go to Uncle Dashi's place."
Gu Wenheng nodded to him and thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work!"
When Gu Wenheng and his men entered the village, everyone, whether they were working in the fields or busy at home, gathered around them curiously.
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian handled it well, but Gu Lejia was asked question after question.
If those family members have not returned, they will ask about their family members.
The curious elders also asked him about his experiences during this period.
Song Xiuniang, who was following closely beside him, was also being stared at by a bunch of women.
As for the unfamiliar faces of Qingmei and Qingzhu, they stood obediently behind Jin. When people heard that they were maids, they were just curious and let them go.
Li Cuicui, who got the news, ran to the door of her house and found a large group of people gathered. She quickly pushed them away and said, "Seventh Brother, you're back."
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian quickly called for help, one on each side supporting her, "Mom, our son is back."
"We are all tired after the journey. Let's go inside and take a rest. Let's all go home." Li Cuicui couldn't understand. Everyone knew this Old Seven. Was there any need to be so enthusiastic?
"Mrs. Dashi," Gu Datian suddenly called him, "you still have a grandson."
"Grandma," Gu Lejia suddenly knelt down in front of Li Cuicui and cried, "my grandson is back."
Li Cuicui rubbed her eyes, squatted down and looked carefully for a while, then pulled the man up and held his hand tightly, "You are the Le family, where have you been? Why did you come back now?"
"It's great that we can find him back. You grandparents shouldn't cry here," Gu Datian reminded them when he saw many people wiping their tears. "Daishi must be worried in there now. Hurry up and bring him in to have a look."
Li Cuicui nodded apologetically to the villagers and said, "I'll invite you all to my home for a small gathering another day. Can you guys go home first?"
Everyone knew that the family must have a lot to talk about. No matter how curious they were, it was not appropriate to stay here all the time. They just kept talking and left in groups of three or four.
"You finally know to come back," I heard Gu Dashi's sarcastic voice as soon as I entered the door.
Gu Wenheng didn't even frown as he opened the door curtain and walked in, "Dad, we're back."
"Grandpa, my grandson is back."
The accusation that Gu Dashi was about to say suddenly turned into surprise, "Le family?"
"It's my grandson," Gu Lejia burst into tears when he saw Gu Dashi lying on the kang, "Grandpa, what happened?"
"Did you come back with your seventh uncle?"
Gu Lejia nodded, but Gu Dashi's expression changed immediately. "Didn't he tell you that I was injured? He just didn't take me seriously."
Gu Wenheng: "..." He was trying to find fault.
Jin Qianqian: "..." Is the show about to begin?
The couple looked at each other and simply supported Li Cuicui on both sides. "Mom, this letter only contains a few words. We have been very worried all the way. What does the doctor say about my father's injury?"
Li Cuicui glanced at Gu Dashi who was glaring at her, "Originally it was just a broken leg, but after such a long time, the bone should have healed long ago. But your father always said that he had a stroke, so there is nothing we can do. We can only let him do it."
Thinking of the old man's past deeds, Gu Wenheng asked calmly, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor has already said that he has a mental illness. As long as he stands up and walks a few steps, he will slowly get used to it." Li Cuicui did not give face and said more bluntly, "He has a mental illness and laziness. You don't need to pay attention to him."
"You bitch, you never say a good word.
You think I am willing to lie on this kang every day, why don't you believe me? And believe those quack doctors instead. "
Li Cuicui, "Is that a quack doctor? The Seventh Brother sent someone to bring some money, and I specifically asked the eldest brother and his men to go to the county town to invite the doctor. The old doctor has treated so many patients in his life, how could he be wrong?"
Gu Dashi narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Wenheng, "I know you have made a name for yourself now. You are a scholar after all. You won't let your father die here. Hurry up and drive over. I need to go to the capital to see a doctor."
“…”
Gu Lejia and Song Xiuniang, who were forgotten by them, were also looking at Gu Dashi's small courtyard. The brand new courtyard and the furniture placed everywhere. Even in the provincial capital, the living environment was pretty good.
"Le Jia, my son, you are finally back." Xie Ruyi shouted as he rushed into the room, followed by Gu Yuanjin and Gu Ledi.
Looking at Xie Ruyi who was like a mad woman in front of her, Song Xiuniang quietly took a few steps back, while also secretly sizing up this mother-in-law whom she had never met.
I saw that his weathered face was covered with tears and snot.
And what the hell is that thing he's wearing? Not only is it covered in patches, but it's also shiny black? How long has it been since he washed it?
"Mom," Gu Lejia knelt down in front of her, "Your son is back, why do you look so old?"
Xie Ruyi reached out and slapped him hard a few times, "Where have you been, kid? I'm worried sick. Where's your big brother? Where is he?"
"My eldest brother is not with me," Gu Lejia took a deep breath. He has answered this question many times today. He even doubted himself. Could it be that he is not as important as his eldest brother?
"Why aren't you together? Didn't you enter the city together?"
"How would I know that?" Gu Lejia glanced at Gu Yuanjin behind his mother, "Dad, I'm back."
Gu Yuanjin came over and pulled his son up from his kneeling position. He patted his shoulder, looked him over carefully, and then nodded happily and said, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
"Second brother," Le Jia greeted Le Di again.
