Gu Xichen quickly opened the envelope and skimmed through all the contents. The most important thing was the symbol at the end, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of him: "Comrade Gu Xichen, welcome to the Falcon!"
Gu Xichen gripped that hand tightly, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you!"
He already had a plan in mind: he would call back tomorrow to ask his unreliable boss what was going on and why he hadn't been notified in advance, but instead someone else had notified him.
What he didn't know was that his good leader had already received news that he had successfully completed his mission.
His dissatisfaction with being poached by his superiors has finally subsided somewhat, and now he is waiting for Gu Xichen to return and report back to him before telling him the news that he has been selected by his superiors.
Unexpectedly, after completing his mission, Gu Xichen learned he had a holiday and immediately delegated all his work to another comrade, asking him to go back and report. He then rushed home to be with his wife.
For him, nothing was more important than spending time with his wife, whether there was a reward or not.
Gu Xichen was unaware that his superior was waiting for him to return!
When he called back the next day, he was met with his boss's roar.
"You brat, you didn't even come back to see me one last time! You just left like that! I worked so hard..."
Isn't this a condemnation of the Chinese proverb about unfaithfulness?
Gu Xichen: "..."
Gu Xichen was speechless. It turned out his boss had deliberately not told him beforehand!
The Gu family celebrated the New Year in a lively atmosphere. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Guoqiang and Gu Xichen left the Gu family home early.
When Jiang Jinxiu got up, the seat next to her was already cold, and there was a note on the table. Only then did she realize that he had gone on another mission.
After lunch, Xiao Liu, Zhou Ying, Grandma Luo, and Zhou Wenjing set off back to Beijing.
Grandma Luo didn't want to go back, but thinking of her sons at home, she finally got on the bus.
Despite all the persuasion, Zhao Guoan refused to get on the bus. In the end, it was Grandma Luo who spoke up, saying that he could stay here, but he had to send a letter home every week.
Zhao Guoan nodded vigorously.
I'll do anything as long as he stays here.
Zhou Ying had no choice but to leave him some money and tickets in the end.
What could he do? This was his youngest son, after all. After giving him a lot of instructions and explanations, he finally got into the car.
This time, Jiang Jinxiu did the same thing as before, preparing things for everyone, and Yang Dongmei also prepared things for them.
A car full of them.
In addition to the red wine they had already agreed upon, Jiang Jinxiu also specially wrapped two ginseng roots in something, one for Zhou Ying and the other for her mother, Zhou Wenying.
They're all from years ago.
Jiang Jinxiu was never stingy with those who were good to her.
Besides, they're family now.
Of course, she also specifically asked her mother to send something to her father.
She knew that her doting father, who loved her dearly, must be very disappointed that he wouldn't be able to spend the New Year with her this year.
There wasn't much she could do but try to make him happy.
And so, she saw them off.
To her surprise, when Zhou Wenying returned and saw the ginseng, she was so excited that she didn't know how to describe it. Knowing that it was impossible to return it to that girl, she discussed it with her husband and got a courtyard house for Jiang Jinxiu in Beijing. Of course, that's another story.
After Zhou Ying and the others left, Gu Lao Er prepared to take Sun Xiaomeng back to her parents' home. Yang Dongmei specially prepared a lot of things for them to take back with them.
Watching them leave with their bags and packages, she was momentarily stunned.
Seeing this, Gu Dashan went over and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Wife, let's go prepare some more things. I'll go back to your parents' home with you!"
He had wanted to go back with her for a long time, but something always kept getting in the way.
It just so happens that he's taking advantage of the day when people go back to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. He's determined to bring his daughter Meizi back this time, no matter what.
Yang Dongmei was initially taken aback by his sudden hug.
Hearing her husband's words, she stared at him in a daze.
She hasn't been back to that house for ten years. If she goes back now, will she be kicked out again?
Thinking of the hunched back she had seen at the state-run restaurant last time, her eyes welled up with tears.
She was her mother, the mother who had loved her since she was little. Her once straight back was now hunched over.
The last time I saw her was half a year ago, before Gu Dashan woke up. I don't know how she is now.
When Gu Dashan saw Yang Dongmei's condition, he patted her back to comfort her, saying that he owed her that.
"Let's pack our things and take our daughter and the eldest son with us."
Jiang Jinxiu watched them from the side and said, "Father, Mother, I want to go too."
Yang Dongmei wiped her eyes and looked at Jiang Jinxiu: "Third brother's wife, you stay home and keep Comrade Xie Ji and the others company. Next time, I'll take you with me."
She hasn't been back there for ten years, and she doesn't know what's going on. Her third son's wife is pregnant with three babies.
If she were to bump into something or get hurt, how could she face the ancestors of the Gu family?
Besides, we have guests at home. We can't just leave everyone else and leave the guests to stay at home by themselves!
Seeing this, Xie Ji interjected, "Comrade Dongmei, you can take Comrade Jiang Jinxiu with you. Hongfu and I will be fine at home."
Yang Dongmei smiled and said to Xie Ji, "I know, but my family's situation is a bit special. Jinxiu is pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for her to go over."
