Xie Ji immediately said he wanted to be discharged from the hospital and go to the Gu family after Jiang Jinxiu and the others agreed to his request.
She seemed to be eager for him to go to the Gu family right away.
He kept muttering that he was a doctor, it was just a scratch, not a serious illness, and he didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore, he wanted to be discharged, and so on...
This left Jiang Jinxiu and the others both amused and exasperated.
However, after consulting with the hospital doctors and confirming that Xie Ji could be discharged, they took him and Xie Hongfu back to Gujia Village.
While Jiang Jinxiu and the others were helping him pack his things, Jiang Jinhua was sent to buy chickens, saying that they would have an extra meal that night, not only to make soup for Jiang Jinxiu, but also to welcome Xie Ji.
This time, Jiang Jinhua didn't object. She obediently took the money from Zhou Wenjing and left.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at her younger brother's back, still somewhat puzzled.
Her younger brother had seemed more sensible before, but after their parents came, he seemed to have broken free of his inhibitions and started causing trouble again. Now that he was suddenly so obedient, she felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Jiang Jinhua didn't really think too much about it this time. Since he was going to buy things, he might as well go. It just so happened that his parents hadn't gone to the black market during the few days they were here.
This time, he could conveniently visit the black market to see if there was anything good to give Gu Xilan.
That girl still hasn't spoken to him since yesterday.
He needs to buy her something to appease her.
While he was thinking this, he didn't consider whether Gu Xilan would accept it.
In his eyes, Gu Xilan would accept his things in the past, and she would definitely accept them again this time.
Fortunately, on his trip to the black market, he not only quickly bought a hen, but also happened to run into someone who was reselling his family's jewelry.
Among them was a blue bracelet that was very beautiful. At first glance, he thought that Gu Xilan would look great wearing it.
He didn't even haggle over the price; he just took out his money and bought it.
Once back home, he shoved the bracelet into Gu Xilan's hand, saying, "Here, it's for you!"
After saying that, he quickly walked away. Gu Xilan's first reaction was to return the item to him. Without even looking at what it was, she was about to throw it at his back: "Who cares!"
However, the moment the bracelet slipped from her hand, she instinctively grabbed it again.
She had never seen this light blue bracelet before; it was really beautiful.
She liked it so much, she liked it at first sight, but she only hesitated for two seconds before calling out to Jiang Jinhua, who was about to disappear from her sight.
"How much? I'll pay you."
"It's free, you can have it."
"No, I don't want to!"
"If you don't want it, just throw it away. What I give away, I don't take back!"
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
When Xie Ji arrived at the Gu family home, Gu Dashan and Yang Dongmei welcomed him warmly.
They are all warm and hospitable people.
Grandma Luo's smile never faded as she watched the lively Gu family gathering.
There's a reason she doesn't want to leave: the Gu family is truly wonderful, and the whole family is so lively and harmonious.
Although her children were filial, they were all very busy and rarely seen. None of her grandchildren were married or had children. When she was in Beijing, she often lived alone in that big house.
As soon as Xie Ji entered the Gu family home, he saw Old Lady Luo sitting in the courtyard.
He looked at the old woman and suddenly felt that she looked familiar. A voice in his heart told him that he knew the person in front of him.
But he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
He stared intently at her, racking his brains, when suddenly he seemed to realize something, his eyes widening. Could this be Luo Meili?
The more I looked, the more it resembled her, and I subconsciously called out, "Luo Meili?"
Grandma Luo hadn't heard that name in a long time; it had been a long time since anyone had called her by her full name.
She looked up and saw an old man holding Xie Hongfu's hand standing at the door, staring at her intently.
She looked at him with some confusion: "Who are you?"
"You, Luo Meili, you actually forgot about me?!"
Jiang Jinxiu and the others followed behind, each with an expression of watching the drama unfold.
Xie Ji released Xie Hongfu's small hand, walked quickly to Old Lady Luo, pointed to himself and said, "Me, Xie Ji, Tiedan, really don't remember?"
"Tiedan? Xie Ji?" Old Mrs. Luo murmured, her eyes suddenly brightening, but within seconds, her eyes welled up with tears again.
"You little rascal, so you're still alive! We all thought you were dead! Why didn't you send a message back..."
Grandma Luo said excitedly.
It turns out that the two of them were neighbors since childhood. When Xie Ji was ten years old, his parents took him to visit relatives, but war broke out and they got separated. Xie Ji has been missing ever since.
After getting separated from his parents, little Xie Ji went through many twists and turns to find his way home, only to find a scene of utter devastation.
The little boy felt helpless, but he still held onto hope that one day he could see his family and friends.
Later, he met his adoptive parents, who treated him very well. Influenced by them, he became a doctor.
He never imagined that at his age, he would meet his childhood playmate again.
What an incredible coincidence!
"I went back, but when I got back, my home was gone, and I already had you all..."
As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
When people from the same hometown meet, their eyes well up with tears; how much more so when two elderly people, separated by more than half a lifetime, can meet again.
They had endless topics to discuss.
