There is a berth at the pier, and staff are standing by to help passengers.
As soon as the boat stopped, Kang Aiying couldn't wait to go forward.
Looking at the faces coming and going, she didn't see any familiar faces. Just when she was disappointed, a voice came from behind her.
"grandmother?"
Kang Aiying slowly turned around, and the moment she saw the child's appearance, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Rui Rui!"
Kang Aiying hugged the child tightly, feeling the thin body in her arms, and scolded her eldest daughter-in-law thousands of times.
How come the kid who was so chubby when he was young is now as thin as a monkey?
"Grandma, don't cry."
Ruirui patted her back sensibly to comfort her.
The scene was touching and everyone present was moved.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Kang Aiying wiped away her tears and said embarrassedly.
"Is this Xiao Gu's wife?" Kang Aiying looked at the cute and lovely Lin Jingshu in front of her.
Gu Chengze: "Jingshu, this is the Aunt Kang I mentioned to you."
"Hello, Aunt Kang, my name is Lin Jingshu, you can just call me Jingshu."
The little girl was fair and clean, with clear eyes under a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, which showed a sense of intelligence. Her hair was black and shiny, and was tied in a simple pigtail. She looked young and had a rare and beautiful appearance.
No wonder Xiao Gu was so anxious to file a marriage report when he returned. She liked him so much just by looking at him.
"Good boy, thank you for your help. I heard from Lao Qi that this child was abducted. If we hadn't met you, I'm afraid we would never have the chance to meet each other in this life."
As she spoke, her tears began to fall again.
Their son died young, and their daughter-in-law Fang Ru was leaving the island. The old couple didn't want her to be a widow, they just wanted to leave their grandson behind.
Fang Ru disagreed, so they had to give in and write letters and make phone calls every year.
There was news at first, but then it became less and less.
Old Qi couldn't sit still. After asking around, he found out that Fang Ru got married not long after she returned and brought her child with her.
Not wanting the past to trap her, she let it go.
The compensation is sent to her on time every month. I just hope she can pay more attention to the child.
My grandson left alone, and I’m afraid he has a bad relationship with his family.
When they received the news and questioned Fang Ru, she had no idea that her child was missing.
Hearing the other party's indifferent voice on the phone, Kang Aiying felt a burning anger in her chest. After all, it was a piece of flesh that had fallen from her body. How could Fang Ru bear to ignore it?
Since the child has come to them for help, the old couple will definitely do their best to raise him.
"Aunt Kang, Ruirui is a blessed child. We just did what we should do."
These words touched Kang Aiying's heart, and she felt even more favorable towards the girl in front of her.
Seeing that the wind was about to pick up, Gu Chengze reminded: "Auntie, the wind is strong at the dock. Let's go back and talk."
"Look, I'm just happy. Let's talk about it when we get home."
Kang Aiying held her grandson's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Behind him, Lin Shan looked at his sister happily, "Little sister, you are finally here. I missed you so much."
He hadn't been home for several years. Seeing his younger sister, he was very happy. He pushed Gu Chengze away and carried her bag attentively.
"Brother, I miss you too. My parents and my second brother also miss you."
Gu Chengze followed behind carrying two large luggages, looking at his brother-in-law helplessly at the sky, fearing that he would be bullied by him in the future.
"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about? Let's go."
Gu Chengze: "Here I come."
"Brother, please help Chengze carry the luggage." Lin Jingshu saw that Gu Chengze was sweating and begged her brother for help.
Lin Shan made a "tsk" sound. How could this guy be so delicate? He usually carried 50 kilograms and didn't look tired at all, but now he was pretending to be pitiful.
Looking at his sister's pitiful eyes, Lin Shan sighed and thought, forget it, for his sister's sake, he would help him.
Gu Chengze: "Thank you, brother."
Lin Shan: For the sake of calling you brother, I reluctantly forgive him.
Ruirui held his grandmother's hand with one hand and his aunt's hand with the other, his eyes sparkling and smiling happily.
Lin Jingshu: "Aunt, I have something to apologize to you for."
"Apologize?" Kang Aiying looked at her in surprise. "What's wrong?"
Lin Jingshu exposed Ruirui's neck and said guiltily, "Ruirui is allergic to the shrimp dumplings we had this morning."
It is reasonable and logical that as a parent, Aunt Kang has the right to know about this matter.
"Well, I thought it was a big deal. It's okay. His dad is like that too."
Kang Aiying comforted her and told her not to worry about it. Her grandson inherited her eldest son's allergic constitution. When he was a child, he had an allergic reaction when he was fed shrimp paste, which scared them into a cold sweat.
"Grandma, don't blame Auntie. I wanted to eat it myself. I've never eaten shrimp before and didn't know I'd be allergic."
Ruirui grew up in an inland area where seafood was expensive. After leaving, he rarely ate seafood, and his mother never told him that he was allergic to seafood.
It’s not her fault that my aunt shared the delicious food with him because she liked him.
"Grandma knows." Kang Aiying touched his head.
Ruirui smiled when he heard this.
The scene outside the car was unfamiliar to Ruirui. He leaned against the window, looking at the tall coconut trees with his mouth slightly open.
Kang Aiying and Lin Jingshu talked about the situation on the island.
"We have a supply and marketing cooperative on our island, which has everything, including grain, oil, rice and flour, but it doesn't have big items like bicycle radios.
There's also a small market near the supply and marketing cooperative that specializes in selling all kinds of seafood. It's organized by nearby fishermen. Although it's prohibited by government policies, they tacitly allow this behavior in order to provide everyone with a better life."
Lin Jingshu nodded. In this way, basic food, clothing, housing and transportation would be no problem.
"In addition, we have schools and hospitals on the island, so we don't have to worry about the children's education."
In this era, not many people pay attention to children's education. When I was in my hometown, many parents did not let their children go to school in order to save money.
This behavior is understandable given the practical circumstances.
The temperature rose and the air was stuffy. Lin Jingshu felt sweaty at the slightest movement.
Seeing this, Kang Aiying smiled and said, "It's the hottest time of the year now. The temperature will start to drop next month, and then it will be comfortable."
The car was driving very fast and soon arrived at the gate of the family compound.
After Gu Chengze got off the car and registered, the guarding soldiers opened the roadblock. Lin Jingshu looked at the scene outside. This was where she would live in the future.
Lin Shan first sent Kang Aiying and Ruirui home.
"Let's go back and clean up first. Ruirui can come and play when he's free."
Lin Jingshu waved goodbye to Ruirui.
The car drove away again and stopped in front of a two-story building a few minutes later.
There was a hint of surprise in Lin Jingshu's eyes. Although she knew from Gu Chengze that they lived in a bungalow, she didn't expect the house to look quite nice.
"We're home."
Gu Chengze pushed open the door, and the courtyard was in full view.
There is a gravel road in the middle leading to the main house, with large open spaces on both sides.
Lin Jingshu fell in love with it at first sight.
