Chapter 130 Returning Home
Although Huang Laizi is not good-looking, he is a sensible relative.
Liu Yinyin said "oh" and decided that it would be better not to hold the banquet now.
When Gu Yanyan celebrated her full moon, she didn't hold a banquet, but just invited the Liu family to have a meal at home.
Gu Cheng returned on the fourth day of December.
This morning, the cold wind was blowing, and it felt like a knife blowing on people's faces.
Early in the morning, Liu Yinyin was feeding the pigs in the yard when she suddenly heard a puppy howling at the door.
Liu Yinyin turned her head and suddenly saw Gu Cheng coming back.
The man was carrying a large bag on his back and a suitcase in his hands. After many days of running around, his face was haggard and his beard was untidy. He looked quite shabby.
After being stuck in the train for a few days, Gu Cheng is indeed very tired.
"Yin Yin, I'm back." Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The man's eyes were burning, and Liu Yinyin said shyly: "...I'm glad you're back."
"Woof woof..." The puppy was very alert. When it saw a stranger, its tail waggled back and forth and it kept circling around Gu Cheng's feet.
"Do you have a dog at home?" Gu Cheng kicked away the puppy that wanted to bite his feet.
Liu Yinyin hummed: "I've raised it for half a month. I brought it from my uncle's house."
Seeing that he was wearing so little, Liu Yinyin couldn't help but said distressedly, "Why are you wearing so little? Come in quickly."
The weather was not that cold when they went there, and Liu Yinyin packed a coat for him, but he didn't wear it.
Gu Cheng: “Not cold.”
There were so many people on the train that he didn't feel cold, but he was sweating even though he was wearing so little because he had to hurry on the road.
Gu Cheng walked inside and asked, "Is everything ok at home? Where's Yanyan?"
Liu Yinyin: "Everything is fine at home. Yanyan is still sleeping in the room."
The little guy likes to sleep in and is a bit grumpy when he wakes up. If he is not allowed to sleep until he wakes up naturally, he will be lethargic all morning.
Gu Cheng went to the room to see his son.
Liu Yinyin boiled a pot of hot water for him.
Gu Cheng didn't even have breakfast.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Gu Yanyan had already woken up.
The boy hadn't seen his father for almost a month. When he first saw Gu Cheng, he didn't recognize that the bearded man was his father.
Gu Yanyan stood beside the bed, Xiaopang held the edge of the bed with his hands, staring straight at Gu Cheng, his eyes widened with curiosity: "Ah ah..."
Gu Cheng smiled and picked up Gu Yanyan: "Don't you recognize your father?"
Gu Yanyan stretched out his little hand and touched Gu Cheng's beard. The stubble was a bit prickly, so he immediately retracted his chubby hand: "Ah ah..."
Liu Yinyin chuckled: "He is curious about your beard."
This face full of stubble makes Gu Cheng look ten years older.
Gu Cheng: "I'll shave it later."
Gu Yanyan saw Liu Yinyin and stretched out his chubby little hand to her: "Mom..."
The man was tall and dark, and he was a little scared.
Gu Cheng was surprised when he heard this: "Yan Yan can speak now?"
He thought Gu Yanyan was the same as before and could only babble.
Liu Yinyin: "He started to speak a few days after you left, but he could only call mom and dad. Occasionally he would utter a word or two, but they were not clear."
Neither the father nor the son had breakfast. Liu Yinyin had cooked a bowl of yam porridge for Gu Yanyan in the morning, which was now warming in the pot.
When he wakes up, you can serve it directly to him.
Just now, Liu Yinyin fried an egg with chopped green onions and a plate of lettuce with garlic.
There were five corn buns left from the morning, which was almost enough for us to eat.
The weather is cold now, so Liu Yinyin will steam a few more steamed buns or wok buns in the morning. She doesn’t need to prepare staple food at noon and in the evening, and can just stir-fry some vegetables and eat.
Perhaps it was the nature of father and son, Gu Cheng accompanied Gu Yanyan for breakfast.
Gu Yanyan was very affectionate towards him. Although he hadn't called him dad yet, he didn't mind Gu Cheng hugging and kissing him.
There were many people coming and going on the train, and Gu Cheng didn't sleep well.
Now that I'm home, I feel completely relaxed. After breakfast, I lie down and rest.
Farmers are idle now, and when Gu Cheng came back in the morning, many people in the village saw him.
All of a sudden, all the rumors that had been spread before were completely refuted.
Hearing that her son-in-law had returned, Jiang Cuihua could not help but come to see him: "Yinyin, I heard that Gu Cheng is back?"
"Yeah, I just fell asleep." Liu Yinyin was washing the dirty clothes she had just taken off.
Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "It's good that the person is back."
Now, no one in the village would gossip about her anymore.
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Liu Mingyuan's wedding is on the sixth day of December, which is the day after tomorrow.
If Gu Cheng doesn't come back, Liu Yinyin plans to go to the county town tomorrow and bring back a few pounds of pork.
Now Gu Cheng is back.
Liu Yinyin pondered and said, "Mom, let's kill a pig tomorrow. Ask some brothers to come over and help."
"Okay." Jiang Cuihua had prepared everything else except two pounds of pork.
By lunchtime, Gu Cheng still hadn't woken up, and Liu Yinyin didn't call him, letting him get enough sleep.
Today happened to be the weekend and she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so Liu Yinyin opened the two big bags that Gu Cheng brought back.
Gu Cheng told him before he went to bed that he had brought back a lot of things for her and put them in her backpack, so she could pack them herself.
One bag contained his own luggage, and the other was something wrapped in a paper bag.
Liu Yinyin opened the paper bag and took a look. Inside were two pieces of cloth. One was printed cloth, blue with small flowers, which could be used to make summer clothes.
The other piece is red velvet, which can be used to make coats.
There were two pieces of cloth, and I could tell from their colors that they were bought for her.
The fabric feels very comfortable and silky, and the price must be high.
The other bag was filled with food because the journey back was long and we definitely couldn't bring any fresh food.
Gu Cheng brought back some snacks and dry goods.
There were chocolate, premium biscuits, oatmeal, peanut nougat, four pounds of dates and two boxes of cakes.
There is also a pack of velvet antler mushrooms, a pack of dried razor clams, and a pack of dried cuttlefish.
Each package was very large and the luggage bag was stuffed bulging.
"Mom..." Gu Yanyan squatted beside her and pointed at a bag of cakes with his chubby little hand.
He had eaten pastries before. They were sweet and delicious. However, Liu Yinyin didn't dare to let him eat too much, so he could only eat them once every few days.
Two boxes of pastries, one box of sugar alcohol beef tongue biscuits, and one box of sugar alcohol five-nut pastries.
Liu Yinyin broke off half a piece of beef tongue biscuit and gave it to him.
The rest of the stuff was put in the cupboard.
Gu Cheng slept until the evening and was awakened by the suffocation.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Yanyan's big butt pressing against his face.
Seeing his naughty son, a hint of tenderness flashed across Gu Cheng's eyes.
He stood up, picked up his son, and pretended to rub his face with his unshaved beard.
Gu Yanyan had tender skin and was afraid of pain, so he quickly tilted his little head back and used his little hands to push Gu Cheng's face away.
Unable to push it, he waved his hand and patted him on the face twice.
