Gu Dahai's words put everyone in the Gu family at ease.
The first thing they did upon returning was to look for Xiao Lan and Pearl, but no one answered their calls.
Zhu Dachang is still on the run, and they are really afraid that something will happen to Gu Xilan and the others again.
Gu Dashan patted Gu Dahai on the shoulder to express his gratitude: "Ahai, thank you."
Fortunately, he has his younger brother to help out, otherwise the kids in the family would be in real trouble.
"Brother, you're being too polite."
Gu Dahai never thought there was anything wrong with helping each other between brothers; it was just a small favor.
In addition, his own son also often likes to go to his older brother's house, doesn't he?
They also frequently freeload off others.
If other people's children acted like that, they would have been kicked out long ago.
Even with his elder brother and sister-in-law, they're worried that his son, Xiao Liang, won't have enough to eat.
He felt that within his capabilities, they should help each other.
After all, they are the only ones left in their lineage.
"I'll go pick them up," said Boss Gu first.
Gu Dahai said, "Let's all go together. We've cooked a lot of porridge, enough for everyone. It's already late, and we're all exhausted. If you cook it yourselves, it will take at least an hour."
Besides, that porridge will spoil tomorrow if we don't eat it tonight. Let's all go eat together, and then come back and get some rest early.
Although Jiang Jinhua is still staying at Uncle Gu's house, she only spends most of her time sleeping there at night.
He spends most of his time outside, and even when he eats, he almost always goes to his sister's house. He only eats with Gu Xiliang at their house when his sister is not there.
Seeing the Gu brothers getting along so well, I couldn't help but feel a little envious and sentimental.
If it were their family, their uncle would be more than happy for them to die so he could seize their family's property. He would only gloat and kick them when they're down.
You really can't compare people.
He had previously thought that the country folk were all ugly, but now it seems that wasn't entirely true.
Good or bad people are not limited by region.
He secretly nudged Jiang Jinxiu's hand and whispered in her ear, "Sister, you're quite good at choosing people. The Gu family's connections are much better than ours with Uncle's family."
Jiang Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him: "We've been living in their house for so long, and you're only just finding out?"
After hearing what Uncle Gu said, no one refused anymore.
After all that commotion, everyone was starving, especially Xiao Fangfang, who had been complaining of hunger for a long time.
Everyone went out the door, except for Yang Dongmei. Gu Dashan naturally stayed behind to wait for Yang Dongmei. Jiang Jinxiu saw this and wanted to stay and wait for her too, but Gu Xichen pulled her away.
"Your parents have something else to say, so don't disturb them."
Whether they actually had anything to say to each other or not, Gu Xichen didn't know, but he knew that his father definitely didn't want anyone to disturb the time he and his mother spent alone together.
When he was little, he didn't understand things. Whenever his father came back, they thought he was trying to steal their mother away. Now that he's grown up, he's more sensible.
There's no need for him to be a third wheel to his parents.
When they arrived at their uncle's house, Gu Xilan and the others were doing their homework.
Gu Xilan and Pearl were overjoyed to see that they had all returned safely.
Aunt Gu enthusiastically went to serve them rice, but they stopped her.
Since they are family, there is no reason for them to expect their aunt to serve them.
Everyone pitched in.
Yang Dongmei, who was at the back, actually went to the kitchen to get two kilograms of rice and some pickled vegetables to take with her.
She doesn't have the habit of going to other people's houses empty-handed to eat, even when she goes to Gu Dahai's house.
She doesn't like owing others.
When she finished packing and came out, she saw Gu Dashan in the yard and was quite surprised: "Old man, why haven't you gone over yet?"
"Waiting for you." These two simple words made Yang Dongmei's heart bloom with joy.
Gu Dashan naturally took the things from Yang Dongmei's hands and walked alongside her.
Yang Dongmei was very perceptive. She felt that Gu Dashan seemed preoccupied today, especially when he came out last.
She wanted to ask, but didn't know where to begin.
"Old man, do you think those bad guys will be punished? Our Gu family hasn't done anything immoral, so how did we end up in this mess? Luckily you're all here, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
In the darkness, Gu Dashan took Yang Dongmei's hand with his free hand and gently comforted her: "It's okay, everything will be alright in the future, believe me."
Yang Dongmei was a little embarrassed when he suddenly took her hand.
She hummed in agreement, her face flushing slightly.
She was somewhat relieved that it was already dark and he couldn't see her.
However, his joy was short-lived, as Gu Dashan's next words were like a bucket of cold water.
They splashed her with cold water.
"Honey, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."
His words were soft, yet they struck Yang Dongmei's heart like a heavy stone.
She suddenly stopped and stared at him intently. "Where are you going?"
Seeing that no one was around, Gu Dashan gently embraced her and pressed her head into his chest.
"Old woman, you know I'm a soldier too."
His meaning was actually quite simple: I can't tell you.
Yang Dongmei had been a military wife for so many years, she understood what he meant.
But she had lost him for so many years, and he had only just woken up and was about to leave again. She was really scared.
