Under the wonderful and dramatic arrangement of fate, Gu Changmu accidentally stepped into the important life scene of meeting the parents ahead of time, just like a stone accidentally thrown into a calm lake, causing layers of unexpected ripples in the lake of life.
When the door of memory slowly opens, my thoughts run wild like a horse running away, rushing back to the period six years ago.
It was a period full of turmoil and helplessness. Their two families were like two ships sailing in the wind and waves, separated by the torrent of fate and lost contact with each other.
At that time, the Gu family was like a prey targeted by a hunter. They were framed and fell into deep trouble.
The whole family seemed to be shrouded in darkness and was forced to embark on a difficult journey to Qingshan Brigade in Harbin.
As for the Yue family, in that turbulent and difficult era, they were also walking on thin ice, struggling to breathe under the heavy pressure of survival. Although they felt sympathy for the Gu family's situation, they were really unable to do anything and could only watch helplessly.
When Mr. Yue was still alive, he had a heart of justice, and upheld kindness and compassion. He quietly extended a helping hand to the Gu family during their most difficult times. He secretly sent some daily necessities to the Gu family. These items were not only material support for the Gu family, but also spiritual comfort.
Every time of secret help was filled with Mr. Yue’s care.
Unfortunately, fate is always cruel and merciless. With the passing of Mr. Yue, the Yue family is like a ship without a helmsman, gradually losing its way in the turbulent social waves.
The social circle that originally surrounded the Yue family receded like the tide, ruthlessly excluding the Yue family. From then on, the connection between the Yue family and the Gu family was like a broken silk thread, and there was no intersection anymore.
Time flies, and when the father-in-law saw Gu Changmu again, it seemed as if time had stopped.
The young man in front of me has grown into a big tree that can shelter us from wind and rain after years of trials and tribulations.
He alone, like a fearless warrior, bravely shouldered the responsibility of the entire Gu family. His eyes revealed his unyielding will and determination.
Looking at him, his father-in-law couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. In his father-in-law's eyes, Gu Changmu was undoubtedly a rare good boy. At this moment, Gu Changmu had completely lost his usual calm and confident self-confidence and seemed a little restrained.
His every movement revealed nervousness, even his walking became a little clumsy, like a child on stage for the first time, walking into Yue Yue's house tremblingly.
As for Yue Yue, she was hiding in the back, laughing secretly. Her eyes were shining with smiles and love. She had never thought that Gu Changmu, who was always as calm as a mountain in her heart, could actually be so nervous and flustered.
This contrast made Yue Yue feel both cute and amusing. When Gu Changmu walked into the house, he carefully placed the bags he was carrying on the table one by one.
Those bags may contain gifts that he carefully selected. Each gift carries his importance of this meeting and his respect for Yue's family.
Yue Yue looked at his slightly clumsy movements, her heart filled with sweetness. She considerately poured a glass of water for Gu Changmu to ease his nerves that were so tense that they were about to break.
"Long time no see, Xiaomu." My father-in-law cleared his throat slightly, adjusted his complicated emotions, and took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence.
His voice echoed in the quiet room, carrying a hint of intimacy and emotion.
"Hello...long time no see, Uncle Yue!" Gu Changmu's answer was a little stuttering, and the voice was like a out-of-tune note, seeming a little abrupt in the air.
His face flushed to his ears, like a child who had done something wrong, which made Yue Yue's entire family laugh. The originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed and harmonious.
This laughter dispelled the tension and strangeness lingering in everyone's hearts.
"Xiao Mu, your family won't blame us for not visiting your grandfather, right? Recently, your family's return has caused a lot of buzz in the city, and everyone knows about it. But you know our family's current situation is very different from before. We really don't want to cause trouble for your family, so we didn't go to disturb the old man."
There was a hint of guilt and helplessness in my father-in-law's eyes. His words were sincere and genuine, and every word was full of respect and apology to the Gu family.
Gu Changmu quickly waved his hands. He understood the Yue family's difficulties very well.
The Yue family is no longer in the social circle they were once familiar with, and they also have their own helplessness and difficulties.
"It's okay, uncle. You know, Grandpa has been really upset about this recently. Those people, whether we meet them or not, are a hassle for us. We all understand your approach, so don't feel any psychological burden."
Gu Changmu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, showing his understanding and open-mindedness.
After hearing what Gu Changmu said, the father-in-law showed a relieved smile on his face. He smiled and nodded, secretly praising this kid in his heart.
In the eyes of his father-in-law, Gu Changmu is not only mature and steady beyond his age, but more importantly, he knows how to advance and retreat in interpersonal relationships. This quality is rare among young people and he is a rare talent.
Suddenly, my father-in-law's expression changed slightly. His eyes became serious and he changed the subject, "When did you two get together? Why didn't you say hello to us?"
There was a hint of doubt and blame in the father-in-law's tone. He looked at Yue Yue and Gu Changmu, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from them.
