Gu Xiangxi, the second son of the Gu family, is the first college student in the family. He works as a university teacher in the provincial capital and is married to Chen Shuyi.
Chen Shuyi comes from a scholarly family and works as a Chinese teacher in a high school in the provincial capital.
The couple has a daughter and a son, Gu Pingmei (six years old) and Gu Pingman (five years old).
Gu Xiangnan, the third son of the Gu family, and Gu Xiangbei, the fourth son of the Gu family, are twin brothers. They are 25 years old this year. After graduating from high school, they worked as workers in a steel factory in the county town.
Gu Xiangnan married Fang Rou, the daughter of the deputy director of a steel plant, who also worked in the same factory.
The couple has a pair of twin boys, Gu Pingxi and Gu Pingle, who are four years old this year.
Gu Xiangbei, the fourth child of the Gu family, joined the army after graduating from high school and went to military school for further studies. Before retiring, he was already the deputy regiment commander.
When Gu Xiangbei returned from the army, he brought back three children: the eldest, Gu Zhen (eight years old), the second, Gu Lei (six years old), and the third, Gu Yuting (four years old).
Gu Xiangfeng, the fifth child of the Gu family, is sixteen years old and is currently attending high school in the county town.
Because the children have started their own families and are working, or studying, the old Gu family house is always occupied by Gu Weimin, Gu Jinhua, and the four members of the Gu family's eldest wife.
Now that Gu Xiangbei's family of four has returned, the house has become much more lively.
When Gu Weimin and others saw Gu Jinhua chasing Gu Xiangbei with a broom, Gu Xiangdong was the first to ask.
Gu Weimin frowned and glared at Gu Xiangbei.
"Old Four, what are you doing at home again?"
As the saying goes, things smell good from a distance but smell bad up close.
In the past, Gu Xiangbei served in the army and only returned home once or twice in several years.
Gu Weimin and Gu Jinhua thought about him day and night. After Gu Xiangbei returned home, he was faced with the care and concern of the two elders.
But now Gu Xiangbei has retired from the army and will stay at home to work. He has been at home for seven or eight days.
Gu Weimin and Gu Jinhua's attitude towards Gu Xiangbei changed a little. They no longer took care of him as carefully as before, asking him about his health in the morning and what he wanted to eat.
On the contrary, seeing Gu Xiangbei's terrible behavior in raising children, Gu Weimin and Gu Jinhua were so angry that they didn't even look at him kindly.
This bastard fourth brother, no matter how bad their conditions were, every child was raised well and strong.
But look at how the fourth child raised his three children.
They were all skinny, and the eldest one, Gu Zhen, was really weak, with a pale face all day long. Gu Weimin and Gu Jinhua felt worried when they saw him, even when they went to bed at night.
The second child, Gu Lei, is thin, but at least he is lively and active and looks relatively healthy.
The third child, Gu Yuting, this little girl, has spoken so many times since she came home that you can count on one hand. It is obvious that she is different from other children.
The old couple were also very worried when they went to bed at night. Will the child still be like this when she grows up? What will she do in the future?
Therefore, when Gu Weimin and Gu Jinhua look at Gu Xiangbei, they no longer see him through the lens of a parent, but through the aura of a rebellious son.
As a father, he actually raised three children like this! He has three children this old, and his family only found out recently!
In this regard, what is Gu Xiangbei if not a rebellious son?!
Gu Xiangbei stopped when he heard what his father said.
“Bang!”
Gu Jinhua successfully hit Gu Xiangbei's calf and put the broom back with satisfaction.
When Gu Pingxi and Gu Pingle saw their grandmother hitting someone, they shook their shoulders. The two brothers looked at each other and continued to shake their shoulders.
The adults in the yard burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
The brothers' parents, the third son of the Gu family, and Fang Rou and her husband were also laughing.
The brothers Gu Pingxi and Gu Pingle looked at each other and started laughing.
"Third brother, third brother's wife, why are you and your family here?" Gu Jinhua asked in surprise, "Pingxi and Pingle, come quickly, let grandma take a good look."
"Hey, come if you want, what else do you bring?"
"That's right, Mom. I've also told the third brother's family that he always brings something back when he goes back home..." He Zhaodi echoed.
"Mom, this is food for our family of four," said Gu Xiangnan, the third son of the Gu family. "We heard that the fourth son is back, so we took a day off, including our rest day, to stay at home for two days. We wouldn't feel comfortable eating and drinking for free at home if we didn't bring anything back, especially since our two little brats have big appetites."
The two brothers Gu Pingxi and Gu Pingle understood this.
"Grandma, we don't eat much! My dad eats a lot!"
Fang Rou's smile never faded, and Gu Jinhua's face was also full of smiles when she saw her two beloved grandchildren, whom she seldom saw, come back.
"Okay, okay, it's the third brother who has a big appetite and comes here to talk nonsense about us being happy and peaceful."
After Gu Weimin and his friends came back, almost everyone in the family was there and they could prepare dinner.
Waiting at the dinner table, everyone expressed their understanding after learning that Gu Xiangbei had gotten together and broken up with Jiang Xiaoqiao from the educated youth point within one day.
Understand why when they came back, Gu Jinhua chased Gu Xiangbei and beat him.
He Zhaodi and Fang Rou looked at Gu Jinhua's angry face and comforted her: "Mom, Fourth Uncle is good-looking and good at work. He won't have trouble finding a good girl."
He Zhaodi said: "Yes, or should I go back to my mother's brigade and ask?"
Fang Rou also said: "Yes, mother, a good girl should be carefully sought after. I will go back to the factory and keep an eye on Fourth Uncle."
Gu Jinhua said angrily, "Don't bother with him. He missed out on a girl as good as Xiao Qiao. Just let him live out his life in loneliness!"
Gu Xiangbei smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I really don't want to get married. My life now is pretty good."
Gu Xiangbei said: "I just want to go to work every day to earn work points and take good care of Gu Zhen, Gu Lei and the other three siblings."
Gu Xiangnan pursed his lips and reached out to pat Gu Xiangbei.
Gu Xiangnan said: "That's fine, it's also nice to work at home..."
"Yeah, it's good."
…
At the educated youth point, Jiang Xiaoqiao and her friends were able to have some rare experience of eating meat thanks to Gu Xiangbei.
It’s really not easy to taste the meat.
After eating and drinking, it was not Jiang Xiaoqiao's turn to cook and wash dishes today, so she decisively put down her dishes and went back to the house.
Hiding in the room, Jiang Xiaoqiao spent 20 heartbeats to buy a basic skill of photographic memory and snacks worth 15 heartbeats.
Then, Jiang Xiaoqiao closed the system mall page and resolutely stopped looking at other skill points and other things in the mall.
Jiang Xiaoqiao stayed in the house eating spicy noodles and checking the remaining money.
Twenty-eight yuan and thirty cents, and a few expiring sugar and meat coupons.
There will be a car from the team going to the county town tomorrow. It seems that she has to go to the city to see if the package and money sent by her scumbag father have arrived.
If not, Jiang Xiaoqiao took a look at the space he just got.
