The next day, Lu Zhenchuan handed over all the matters in his hands and took Gu Ranzhou and his son on the train back to the imperial capital.
In the train compartment, Gu Yu'an put his bag away and then quickly ran to his bed without disturbing his fathers.
Then he opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside through the car window. He couldn't help feeling a little happy, because he heard from Lu's father that his brother would be home for vacation these days, and he might be able to see his brother when he returned home.
A few days later, Lu Zhenchuan returned to the courtyard and had just put down his luggage when someone came knocking on the door.
"Admiral, are you back?"
Gu Ranzhou was sitting casually on a stone bench. When he heard a knock on the door, he looked up at Lu Zhenchuan. Lu Zhenchuan also looked at him. The two looked at each other before Lu Zhenchuan said, "Xiao Song? Dad must have asked him to come over."
Gu Yu'an stood up and turned to open the door.
Lu Zhenchuan turned around and walked towards the kitchen without saying anything. At this time, Gu Ranzhou said, "No need to boil water. We don't need it today."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenchuan did not walk towards the kitchen anymore. Instead, he walked to the stone bench next to him and sat down.
After Gu Yu'an opened the door, the two of them met face to face.
Song Kuo saw that it was Gu Yu'an who opened the door and said with a smile, "Yu'an is back!"
Gu Yu'an nodded obediently and replied, "Well, Uncle Song, please come in first." The two of them walked into the courtyard one after the other. Suddenly, Gu Yu'an asked, "Uncle Song, are you here because Grandpa wants to talk to Dad about something?"
Song Kuo: "Yes, the commander asked you to go back to the old house for dinner. Haoyu is back too." After entering, he saw Lu Zhenchuan and Gu Ranzhou saluting them and shouted, "Major General, Mr. Gu!"
Lu Zhenchuan was at the table sorting out the local specialties that Gu Jianqiang had asked them to bring back. When he saw Yu An leading Song Kuo in, he asked, "Xiao Song, what brought you here? My dad has something to ask you and you came to see us?"
Song Kuo explained: "The old leader asked you to go back and have a meal."
Lu Zhenchuan paused for a moment, but quickly got back to work, replying, "Alright, I'll listen to you, Chief."
Gu Ranzhou glanced at Lu Zhenchuan and said with a helpless smile: "Xiao Song, you go back first. We will go over as soon as we get back and pack up."
"Yes." Seeing that Mr. Gu had replied, Song Kuo did not just stand there and turned to leave, because the entire Lu family knew that Major General Lu would listen to Mr. Gu, and if the two of them really had a quarrel one day, it would be right to listen to Mr. Gu.
......
In the Lu family's old house, Mr. Lu and other old men sat together drinking tea and chatting.
Old Master Lin looked at Old Master Lu, who was in good spirits, and said with some envy, "Old Lu, you're living a good life!"
Mr. Lu glanced at his old brother, then picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea calmly and said, "It's not like you can't do it."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang was a little angry and immediately retorted: "Bullshit, your family is capable, while my family is just relying on me. I'm really afraid that after I retire, my good family will be ruined by those prodigal sons!"
Mr. Lu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We old bones are useless now. I plan to take my wife to live in South Lane (where Gu Ranzhou lives) in a few days."
When Mr. Lin and Mr. Zheng, who were drinking tea nearby, heard his words, they instantly became more alert. They knew that the place was a good one. "You are good at finding a place," they said with a hint of envy.
Mr. Lu smiled and explained, "Ran Zhou discussed with my wife some time ago about letting us move in there. That piece of land is indeed good."
Old Master Lin couldn't bear to see this old thug taking advantage of others and acting shamelessly. He was extremely jealous for a moment: "You are so shameless, old thug! How come all the good things are picked up by you and your son?"
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside.
"Grandpa, we're back."
Hearing that familiar voice, everyone raised their heads and looked towards the door. Mr. Lu smiled and called out, "An An, you're back!"
"Yeah, I'm back!" Gu Yu'an responded and walked towards Mr. Lu and the others, with Lu Zhenchuan and the other two walking behind him.
Lu Zhenchuan's voice was heard before he even arrived: "What good thing did Dad pick up?" He strode into the living room and saw a middle-aged man mixed in with the old man. He asked in surprise: "Hey, Brother Yue is here too, what brings you here?"
The middle-aged man Lu Zhenchuan called "Brother Yue" was named Li Yue. He also came from an aristocratic family, but one was a soldier and the other was a politician. Li Yue stood up and pretended to be angry: "Uncle Lu and the other uncles rarely get together, so I flattered myself and brought a junior here to have a free meal and broaden my horizons. What's wrong with that?"
"Okay, why not." Lu Zhenchuan glanced at his elder brother Lu Zhenxi. Lu Zhenxi was holding a newspaper in his hand and exchanged a look when he saw Lu Zhenchuan come in. The two exchanged a lot of information while looking at each other. Lu Zhenchuan knew that today's meal would not be easy.
Mr. Lin placed the teacup on the table and said, "They say you and your father are very lucky!"
Gu Ranzhou nodded slightly towards Old Man Lin: "Uncle Lin."
Seeing Gu Ranzhou standing behind him, Old Master Lin asked with a smile, "Xiaozhou, come over and sit down. How are things going at home?"
Gu Ranzhou walked over, found an empty seat and sat down, saying, "Okay."
"That's good."
On the other side, Hu Hongxia, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, found that the dining table at home was not big enough. There were many guests at home today, and she was afraid that one table could not seat so many people. She was a little anxious and hurriedly asked her son to go to the utility room to bring out the spare table and set up another table.
At this time, Mrs. Lu saw that her eldest daughter-in-law looked a little unwell and thought she was not feeling well. She asked worriedly, "Did something happen to Hongxia?"
