"Weian, my house is not far from Uncle Sui's house. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk there. Let's stroll over." Gu Changan said.
"Okay." Xia Weian responded.
Gu Xu insisted on helping Song Qingyun carry the backpack, "Auntie, the backpack is not heavy, I can carry it."
Song Qingyun smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xu's head, and said without hesitation, "Thank you for your hard work, Xuxu."
"You're welcome, Auntie!" Gu Xu puffed out his chest a little proudly.
Gu Changan and Xia Weian smiled at each other, showing a tacit understanding as if they had known each other for many years.
Song Qingyun and Gu Xu walked behind and chatted with each other.
"Aunt, is there anything on the mountain?" Gu Xu asked with sparkling eyes.
"There are herbs, wild vegetables, mushrooms, wild fruits, pheasants, roe deer, wild boars, wolves, black bears, and many more." Song Qingyun replied.
"Wow, auntie, if I go to your house, can you take me up the mountain to have a look?" Gu Xu looked at Song Qingyun with anticipation.
"Of course you can, but we don't have a hunting rifle, so we can't go into the mountains. It's too dangerous. But we can take a walk around the foot of the mountain and the outer mountains." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
Gu Xu grabbed the backpack tightly with his small hands, "Auntie, I want to go."
Gu Xu's voice was particularly high because of excitement.
Gu Changan turned around and looked at Gu Xu, "Xu Xu, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to my aunt's house and go up the mountain to play with my aunt and uncle." Gu Xu said. He looked at Gu Changan, and his beautiful eyes sparkled.
Gu Xu trotted over and grabbed Gu Changan's sleeve. "Dad, I'll go with you to send my uncle and aunt off this afternoon. My uncle is injured, and I'll go help him!"
"It's obvious that you want to go out and play, but you're talking about work. What can you do? If you go, you'll just cause trouble for your uncle and aunt." Gu Changan said with a smile.
Gu Xu puffed his cheeks in frustration, "Dad, how can you look down on a man?"
Gu Changan, Xia Weian and Song Qingyun were all amused.
"When my parents are on vacation in a while, they will go with you to stay at your uncle and aunt's house for a few days. It's not enough for you to stay alone, but you still need others to take care of you." Gu Changan patted Gu Xu's shoulder.
Gu Xu instantly became depressed. He retreated to Song Qingyun's side dejectedly, "Aunt, I'm sad."
Song Qingyun looked at Gu Xu and wanted to laugh, but she pursed her lips to hold it back. She raised her hand and ruffled Gu Xu's hair again, "You should go when your parents are on vacation. I'll make you something delicious then."
"Well, auntie, I want to go up the mountain." Gu Xu was full of curiosity about the mountains.
"Okay, then let your uncle take you to the mountains to dig traps, and let my daughters take you to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables." Song Qingyun coaxed.
Although they had a pleasant conversation with Gu Changan's family, they had just met them after all, so it was inappropriate for them to keep someone else's child.
"Auntie, keep your word."
"Yeah, that counts."
Gu Xu became visibly happy and kept talking to Song Qingyun.
Song Qingyun was a gentle person by nature, and she had a pleasant chat with Gu Xu.
"My Xuxu is polite and courteous to others but distant. He really likes my sister-in-law." Seeing that Gu Xu and Song Qingyun were having a good chat, Gu Changan said to Xia Weian with emotion.
Xia Weian looked at Song Qingyun tenderly, "My sister Yun likes children very much."
"Haha, I can see that you and your wife have a really good relationship." Gu Changan sighed with a smile.
Xia Weian smiled.
Soon, the group arrived at their destination.
Gu Changan went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" The voice of a grumpy old man rang out.
Xia Weian felt that the voice was somewhat familiar...
Song Qingyun also had a sense of déjà vu. She raised her eyes and saw Xia Weian looking at her.
"Uncle Sui, it's me, Chang'an." Gu Chang'an responded.
"Hey, Chang'an." The old man's voice softened a little. He opened the door and was stunned when he saw four people standing at the door.
Xia Weian and Song Qingyun were also slightly stunned.
The Uncle Sui that Gu Changan mentioned was the old man who was the keeper of the scrap yard that day.
"Why are you two here? Why are you injured? Where is the little girl?" The old man immediately looked behind the two people, but when he didn't see Xiaoqi, he was a little disappointed.
"There was a small problem, Xiaoqi is at home." Xia Weian didn't expect that the owner of the ginseng was this old man...
"Uncle Sui, do you know Wei'an and my sister-in-law?" Gu Chang'an asked.
"We met once." Mr. Sui replied, "You know him too?"
Gu Changan nodded, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Come in." Old Man Sui waved to Gu Xu, "Come, Xuxu, come to grandpa."
Gu Xu immediately walked over, "Hello, Grandpa Sui, Uncle Wei'an was injured while saving me."
Gu Xu recounted the story of how Xia Weian saved him.
"This young man is quite nice." said Mr. Sui.
The group entered the living room.
An old lady with gray hair is looking at something wearing glasses.
"Aunt, you are here too." Gu Xu trotted to the old lady.
"Xu Xu, long time no see. You've grown taller." The old lady sighed.
"Hello, Aunt Sui." Gu Changan greeted warmly.
"Chang'an, come and sit down." The old lady saw Xia Weian and Song Qingyun, "It's you two."
Xia Weian and Song Qingyun looked at each other and both sighed that the world was really small. This old lady was the one who spoke to them on the bus in the morning.
"Hello." Xia Weian and Song Qingyun greeted.
"Sister, have you seen them too?" asked Mr. Sui.
The old lady nodded. "That's the loving couple I told you about when I met them on the bus."
"We are quite destined to meet each other." Old Man Sui said with a smile, "The little girl in their family is the one I told you about, a very talented girl."
The old lady looked at Xia Weian and Song Qingyun with a gentler gaze.
"Uncle Sui and Aunt Sui really have a connection with Wei'an and his wife. I brought them here today to help Uncle Sui." Gu Changan took over with a smile.
"Oh, how can you help me?" Mr. Sui asked curiously.
"Brother Wei'an and his wife dug up some ginseng in the mountains. It's over a hundred years old," said Gu Chang'an.
"Really!" Old Man Sui stood up quickly. "Weian, right? Come and show it to me. Don't worry, as long as the age is good enough, the price is guaranteed to satisfy you."
Xia Weian put down the backpack, carefully took out the ginseng and placed it on the table.
Mr. Sui opened it carefully, and the old lady walked over, and they both took a deep breath.
"It's been dug so completely, not a single whisker is broken. Wei'an, you are a capable man." Old Man Sui called Wei'an in an unusually affectionate way.
Xia Weian smiled and said, "It's just luck."
"You're being too modest. Who could be so lucky? You're quite capable." Old Man Sui examined it carefully and exchanged glances with the old lady. "Judging from the age, it's at least 150 years old."
Gu Changan was shocked, and he was happy for Xia Weian and his wife.
Xia Weian and Song Qingyun's eyes flashed with surprise...
