Chapter 131 Mom, I'm back!
The smell of stinky feet, children's poop, and the body odor of the man next door almost made him pass out.
When talking about that day, the three of them looked unhappy.
Gu Jin took out the food he had taken along the way from the suitcase and put the suitcase under the bed he was sitting on.
The three cousins were chatting and playing on the side. After Gu Jin finished cleaning up, he sat on the bed and waved to the well-behaved kid not far away: "Come here."
The child came over obediently, and Gu Jin put the biscuit box on the bed into his arms: "This is your rations for the journey, eat it sparingly, and I will make you delicious soup when I get home."
Thinking of her craftsmanship, An Mingji swallowed silently and nodded vigorously.
The three people who were playing not far away stopped what they were doing when they heard Gu Jin's words, especially Gu Jiajie, who was already lying on the bed. When he heard his cousin's words, he sat up suddenly and swallowed unconsciously.
He had been wandering outside for nearly a month without a proper meal, and his meal times were also irregular.
When he heard his cousin coming home to cook and recalled the delicious food he had eaten at home, he really was... thinking about it a lot!
Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren, who had also tasted Gu Jin's cooking, stared at Gu Jin eagerly.
Noticing the three people's gazes, Gu Jin estimated that they would arrive home tomorrow afternoon. She smiled and said, "When you get home tomorrow, stay for dinner. It will be a welcome for you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren thanked them with smiles and anticipation. Gu Jiajie, who was standing by, looked at them with useless expressions, as if they were country bumpkins.
However, he was secretly looking forward to getting home soon.
No one can resist the delicious food made by my cousin.
…
The next afternoon, Gu Jin and his group returned to Qingshan Village in a gloomy sky.
The five people stepped into the Gu family's courtyard, and Chen Hong was picking wild vegetables dug from the mountains in the yard.
Even though the family had precious rice, flour, and leftover wild boar meat that had been stored as pickled meat, there were many people in the family, and three meals a day would require at least a hundred kilograms of food a month.
It had been almost a month since his son went to the county and there had been no news. Gu Jin took the kid out with him, so there were three fewer mouths to feed at home, which did save some food.
Despite this, there was not much food left at home.
The sky has been gloomy these days. In another month, it will be time for the grain harvest, and life may be much better.
Chen Hong was picking wild vegetables with a worried look on her face, wondering when her son would come back after being away for so long. She had been feeling very anxious these days.
At this moment, the door of the Gu family was pushed open, and Gu Jin and his group walked into the Gu family courtyard.
Chen Hong looked up when she heard the voice and saw her son Gu Jiajie at a glance.
"Jiajie, you're back!"
She stood up excitedly, her face full of surprise.
"Mom, I'm back!" Gu Jiajie strode towards her with the bag in his hand.
Gu Jin held the kid in his hand and went away with Wu Zhiren and Liu Pingyuan.
"You little brat, I was so worried about you. You've been gone for such a long time and there's still no news. You're so heartless!" Chen Hong hugged her son, her voice agitated and a little unstable.
"Aren't you back?" Gu Jiajie said in a comforting voice.
The old man in the house was also alarmed and came out with a pipe in his hand.
Seeing his eldest grandson coming back, the old man's expression was no longer stern. His face softened a lot and there was some deep meaning in the look he gave Gu Jin.
