Without the help of the third brother, the family might not have the chance to return to the city, and they don’t know what will happen to them in the future. They might have to stay in the countryside and farm for the rest of their lives.

It was his third brother who gave him such great help and gave him the opportunity to change his destiny.

He will remember this kindness forever!

Gu Xiangwen smiled and asked him, "Do you have enough money on you? If not, I can give you some more."

Gu Xiangxue shook his head and said, "No need, Third Brother, I still have money here. If it's not enough in the future, I can borrow from you again."

Although the couple lives in the countryside, they are both hardworking people. They get full work points and can get some money at the end of the year. If they are frugal in daily life, they can save some, but their life is relatively hard.

"good."

Gu Xiangwen did not force him, and handed a large bag of things to Gu Xiangxue, "These are some fruits, snacks and canned food I bought from the company. They are all good things produced by our company. You can eat some on the way, and take the rest back for your sister-in-law and the children."

Gu Xiangxue looked at his third brother with a touched expression, "Thank you, third brother."

When Gu Xiangxue boarded the train and set out on his journey home to the countryside, Zhou Lian and her two children, who were far away on a farm in northern Guangdong, were eagerly awaiting his return.

Ever since Gu Xiangxue asked for leave and returned to the city, Zhou Lian has heard a lot of gossip from the villagers and felt a little uneasy.

"Alian, is it possible that your Xiangxue is not coming back?"

"Alian, you have to be more careful. If your Xiangxue doesn't come back, you should go to the city and look for him. Don't abandon him."

Although there were a lot of similar gossip, Zhou Lian finally chose to believe Gu Xiangxue.

Whenever someone said these sarcastic words to her again, Zhou Lian would just smile and say calmly, "My family is so kind to Mr. Xiang, he will definitely not do such a thing as abandoning his wife and children."

"I believe in my Xiangxue. He won't abandon me and my child!"

During the years they had been married, Gu Xiangxue had always been very good to her and the children, never beating or scolding them. He was also a down-to-earth and hardworking person, and everyone in the village praised him as a good man.

Her parents are also very satisfied with this son-in-law.

But in the past two years, many people have returned to the city, and many male and female educated youth have never returned, and a lot of trouble has occurred in the surrounding villages.

Zhou Lian's parents were also worried about their daughter and whether Gu Xiangxue would come back.

Father Zhou is the accountant of their village, and Zhou Lian is the only daughter in their family.

Mother Zhou suffered heavy bleeding when she gave birth to Zhou Lian, which hurt her body. She was never able to get pregnant again and only gave birth to this one daughter.

When Zhou's father heard his wife mumbling about whether Gu Xiangxue would come back, he smiled and comforted her, "Xiangxue is a good child. He would not do such a heartless thing."

Although I said that, I was still a little worried when I didn't see him come back.

Fortunately, Gu Xiangxue didn't make them wait too long, and he came back carrying a lot of bags.

"Dad, Mom, A-Lian, I'm back!"

Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, Zhou Lian, and their daughter Gu Yuanyuan all ran out when they heard Gu Xiangxue's voice.

Zhou Lian looked at her husband and tears of joy flowed out, "Ah Xue, you're back..."

Gu Yuanyuan also ran to Gu Xiangxue, hugged his legs, and shouted happily, "Dad, Dad, you are finally back, I missed you so much..."

He smiled and called out to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou again, "Dad, Mom, I'm back. Let's go inside and talk!"

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou also responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go inside and talk. Let's go inside and talk."

Gu Xiangxue entered the hall, put down his daughter and the big bag first, and was about to wash his face when Zhou Lian brought him a washbasin and said to him gently, "Ah Xue, wash your face first!"

Gu Xiangxue responded, "Okay."

After washing his face, Gu Xiangxue smiled and said to them, "Dad, Mom, A-Lian, my application to return to the city has been approved. I plan to take A-Lian and the children back to the city. When conditions improve, I will bring my parents back to the city as well."

When Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Lian heard this, they all laughed happily.

Father Zhou said to Gu Xiangxue, "Ah Xue, I'm very happy that you can bring Ah Lian and the children back to the city. It proves that we didn't make a mistake in choosing you. After you return to the city, live a good life, and we two old people will be relieved. As for whether we will go to the city or not, we will decide after you live a good life."

Gu Xiangxue looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law with gratitude, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Don't worry, I will work hard and take good care of A-Lian and the children."

He took out the fruits, snacks and canned food from the big bag and put them on the table.

"Dad, Mom, A-Lian, you all have a taste of these fruits and snacks. They are very delicious. They were bought for me by my third brother. This time, I was able to find a job and return to the city thanks to his help. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid my return to the city wouldn't have been so smooth."

Mr. Zhou and his family had heard from Gu Xiangxue before that his third brother worked at the Junlin Group as an executive. He later got admitted to university and was a very capable man.

Gu Xiangxue's third brother would also send them some things from time to time.

Although they had never met each other, the Zhou family was deeply impressed by Gu Xiangxue's third brother and were grateful to him.

Gu Xiangxue took out the coconut parfait from the dessert and brought it to Zhou's father and mother. "Dad, Mom, this is coconut parfait. It's delicious. You guys should try it."

Mr. Zhou looked at the snow-white and smooth coconut parfait, picked up a piece, took a bite, and immediately felt the sweetness in his mouth. The texture was chewy and soft, and it was indeed delicious.

He turned to Zhou's mother and said, "This snack is good, honey, you should try it too."

When the little girl Gu Yuanyuan heard her grandfather say that it was delicious, she also shouted anxiously, "Grandma, I want to eat it too, I want to eat it too..."

"Okay, okay, my little Yuanyuan will have one too."

Zhou Lian smiled and pinched a piece for her and put it into her mouth.

Xiao Yuanyuan took a bite and found it delicious. She swallowed it in two or three bites and took another bite.

Seeing his precious daughter eating so enthusiastically, like a greedy little hamster, Gu Xiangxue couldn't help but ask her with a smile, "Yuanyuan, is it delicious?"

Xiao Yuanyuan nodded and said incoherently: "Good! Very good!"

Looking at his lovely daughter, Gu Xiangxue then remembered his youngest son and asked Zhou Lian, "Wife, where is our son?"

Zhou Lian replied gently: "I'm sleeping in the house."

Gu Xiangxue smiled and said, "Then let him sleep!"

After finishing the cake in his hand, Zhou's father asked Gu Xiangxue, "Ah Xue, when are you leaving?"
