At the dinner table, He Zhenhua and Han Yixian were wolfing down their food. They hadn't eaten much these past few days because they were busy rescuing Gu Qishen, and now that everything was arranged, they were starving, wishing they could eat a whole cow.
When He Yuhan learned about their situation, she made them a big pot of shredded pork noodles, and they could eat as much as they wanted. The two of them ate to their hearts' content, deciding to eat their fill first.
After Han Yixian and the others had finished eating, they recounted the events of the past few days, and Han Xiao gained a general understanding of the situation.
After the incident involving the Gu family in Kyoto, Gu Qishen was implicated and was suspended from his duties and placed under investigation. However, the Gu family's situation was not too serious, so Han Yixian and the others were able to use the excuse of serious illness to bring Gu Qishen to Beili Village.
Although the Gu family's situation wasn't too serious, the whole family had been relocated to various places.
Gu Qishen's parents have been sent to a rural area in Northeast China. Han Yi first inquired with his friends in Kyoto and learned that Gu Qishen's parents were sent to a place not far from City C.
Han Yixian planned to ask He Zhendong and the others to visit and take care of the elderly couple occasionally, and bring them some things so that they could have an easier time.
Han Xiao sighed and said to Han Yixian, "Yixian, find out exactly where your Uncle Gu and the others went, and find someone to secretly take care of them."
Han Yi nodded and said, "I've already made the arrangements."
Han Xiao said, "Even though we've come to such a remote place, we don't know if we can escape this calamity. I'm just afraid that the people who have been watching us will do something bad."
Han Yixian said, "Dad, don't worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. As long as our freedom isn't restricted, everything will be fine. Besides, we're not interfering with anyone's business, and those people are probably looking out for us now."
Han Xiao said, "I hope we can live peacefully here."
Gu Qishen felt much better after waking up. He turned to look out the window and found that it was already dark outside. He didn't know the exact time, but he listened carefully and heard soft voices outside.
He slowly sat up in bed, and just as he was about to get out, he saw his son, Gu Huayang, peek in from the doorway.
Gu Qishen beckoned to his son and said, "Son, come here."
When Gu Huayang saw that his father had woken up, he was overjoyed and quickly ran to his father, took his hand, and asked, "Dad, are you better? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Gu Qishen patted his son's head and said, "Dad is much better now, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. What time is it now?"
Gu Huayang replied, "We've already finished dinner. Auntie made something special for Daddy, just waiting for him to wake up so he can eat something delicious. Daddy, are you hungry? I'll go tell Auntie you're awake."
After saying that, Gu Huayang ran out.
Gu Qishen noticed a kerosene lamp lit in the room and used its light to survey his surroundings. The room contained a double bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a desk, and a chair.
The room was very clean, and the bedding on my bed was very soft, obviously new, and must have just been aired out, as it had a sunny smell.
Gu Qishen knew that this must be the room He Yuhan had prepared for him, and he would be living in this room from now on.
The thought of staying in Beili Village from now on didn't seem so bad; at least he could be there to watch his son grow up. His son already had no mother, and he, as the father, couldn't take good care of him, ultimately causing suffering for the child.
From now on, he can focus on taking care of his child. He's a grown man and can easily do farm work, so supporting him and his son won't be a problem.
Moreover, he has so many relatives and friends around him. Life with Han Yixian and He Yuhan will definitely not be boring, just like when they were in the county town, their lives were full of fun.
Gu Qishen was not troubled by the future at all; in fact, he was looking forward to his future life.
Gu Qishen soon heard footsteps, and He Yuhan and Han Yixian each carried two bowls in. Gu Huayang followed behind.
He Yuhan put the bowl on the desk and asked, "Brother Gu, how are you feeling? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Gu Qishen shook his head and said, "It's much better now, it hardly hurts anymore. Yuhan, your medicine really works."
He Yuhan said, "Part of your stomach pain is due to hunger. However, you've already had a stomach hemorrhage, so your stomach condition is quite serious. From now on, you need to follow my diet plan and take your medication on time."
Gu Qishen assured him, "I will listen to you from now on."
Han Yixian said, "Yuhan specially steamed egg custard for you and also cooked millet porridge. Eat your food first, then take your medicine. Can you get out of bed to eat? If not, eat in bed."
Gu Qishen said, "I can get out of bed, so I'll eat at the table."
Han Yixian said to He Yuhan, "Yuhan, go and pack up. I'll keep an eye on Gu Qishen and make sure he drinks his medicine later."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this to you, Brother Gu."
He Yuhan still needs to bathe the children, as they will be going to sleep soon.
Gu Huayang followed behind He Yuhan and asked, "Auntie, can I sleep with Daddy from now on?"
He Yuhan patted Gu Huayang's head and nodded, saying, "Of course. Auntie will move Huayang's bedding to your father's room."
Gu Qishen looked at the bowl of tender steamed egg custard and said, "I'll just have some porridge; I don't need the steamed egg custard. Let's leave the eggs for the children."
Han Yixian said, "Just eat what I've made for you. We have plenty of eggs at home. Get well soon so everyone won't have to worry."
This is the courtyard where my dad and his family live. You'll be staying in this room from now on, and you'll eat with us just like Huayang did. We'll eat the same way we did back in the county town.”
Gu Qishen sighed and said, "This will have to trouble you all again. If it weren't for your help this time, I don't know what would have happened."
Han Yixian said, "Why bother with so much between brothers? From now on, we'll work in the fields together, hunt in the mountains together, and life won't be hard. You can also spend every day with Huayang. Looking on the bright side, it's not all bad."
Gu Qishen said, "What else could I possibly be upset about? Things are already pretty good as they are. Compared to others, I'm lucky to have you all helping me."
After giving the children a bath, He Yuhan took Gu Huayang's bedding to Gu Qishen's room.
She placed the bedding on the bed and said, "Brother Gu, Huayang said he wants to sleep with you and take care of you. Our Huayang will definitely be a filial son in the future."
Gu Qishen smiled and said, "Okay, Huayang will sleep with me from now on. As his father, I should fulfill my responsibilities. I'll have to trouble you all again in the future."
He Yuhan said, "Brother Gu, please don't be so polite. From now on, you can just stay here and live with Huayang."
Gu Huayang made his own bed and folded the blankets himself; he did a great job of it. He can even take care of his father in the future.
The little child was determined to grow up quickly, to learn skills well, so that he could take care of his father in the future and not let others bully him anymore.
