Zhang Changsheng shouted and yelled, but the people around him looked at him as if he were crazy.
If he really had such a capable daughter, how could he have ended up like this, looking haggard and reeking of an unpleasant odor?
"Comrade, you'd better get him out of here! The smell is making my breakfast nauseous."
"Exactly! I don't know how long it's been since they last took a shower, they smell so bad."
"Get out of here quickly! With his mental state, we can't let him hurt us. I've heard that mentally ill people don't have to take responsibility for their injuries."
As he was being dragged away, Zhang Changsheng was still muttering, "Impossible! She couldn't possibly abandon me. I'm her father. If she did, I would be unfilial, unfilial!"
"Alright! You have the nerve to call yourself unfilial? Take a look at the rubbish you've done."
Zhang and Zhou, who lived far away in the family compound, waited all morning for the phone to ring, but didn't receive the call they wanted.
"What does this mean? You were silenced by just a few words?"
"He's shameless enough not to be afraid of being scolded. I think he just ran out of money to make a phone call. What a pity! He had a lot of things to say but didn't get a chance to say them."
It has to be said that Mrs. Zhou's guess was quite accurate, but it's a bit of a pity.
For Gu An'an, this was just a minor incident.
"Wife, what should we take back?"
After the New Year, I will have to go to school, and I will definitely be busier and farther away, and I will have fewer opportunities to return to Hongqi Commune.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the family decided to go back home for the holiday.
"Take these home, and I've packed these up. You can send them directly to Grandpa later."
"OK!"
Xiao Yuheng worked tirelessly and didn't let Gu An'an lift a finger. He arranged everything at home perfectly in one day before getting on the bus home.
"An'an, call home more often if you don't have to."
Knowing that Gu An'an would go directly to Beijing to study after the New Year, the military wives were very reluctant to let her go.
"This is the meat I braised; I'll take it with me to eat on the way."
"And eggs, take them with you, Da Bao and Er Bao."
"besides......"
They set off very early. Gu An'an didn't expect that these military wives would bring specially prepared food so early in the morning. Many of them were afraid that the food would get cold, so they wrapped the food in several layers and kept it warm in their arms.
"Sisters, no need, everything is already prepared at home."
To her surprise, the military wives didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly stuffed the things into her arms, saying, "What you prepared is yours, and what we prepared is ours. You are not allowed to refuse."
"That's right, you're not allowed not to take it."
Before long, Gu An'an could no longer hold on with both hands.
"Alright, alright, you can't take it anymore."
Seeing that the whole family was carrying things and there were no hands left to carry, the military wives who were slower to act felt a little regretful and regretted that they were too slow.
"An'an, be careful on the road."
"Yes! Come back and visit often when you have time. We'll all miss you."
"Our family compound will always be your home."
......
Amidst a chorus of blessings, Gu An'an got into the little jeep.
"Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhou, Aunt Liu... we're just going home for the New Year, we'll come back again."
Even after getting on the bus, Da Bao and Er Bao were still waving to everyone. They were too young to understand why everyone was giving them such a grand send-off when it was just a trip home for the New Year.
"Sigh, although there are a couple of troublesome people in the family compound, most of them are very nice. It's a little hard to see them go."
"That's right, my sisters-in-law are all very nice."
"Mom, aren't we supposed to come back after the New Year? Why do the aunties and grandmas act like they'll never see us again?"
Xiao Dabao gently patted Erbao's head, "Have you forgotten that Mom is going to study in Beijing? If Mom goes, we will definitely go with her, so she definitely won't be coming back after the New Year."
"Huh? What about Daddy?"
These past few days, Xiao Erbao has been so immersed in the joy of going home for the New Year that he completely forgot to think about anything else until now.
"Dad, Dad is all alone here?"
Although they usually go against Xiao Yuheng, the two little ones still can't bear to part with each other at times like this.
"If Dad stays here alone, he won't be able to enjoy the delicious food that Mom and Grandma make."
Just as Xiao Yuheng was about to be moved, he heard his unlucky son say, "Dad, don't be sad, Erbao will eat an extra portion for you."
Xiao Yuheng: ...Thank you.
Don't get angry, don't get angry. Getting angry will kill you, and no one can take your place.
"Doesn't Erbao want to see his dad every day?"
Xiao Erbao shook his head. "I want to see Dad, but I want to be with Mom and Grandma every day even more, so it's hard on you, Dad. Don't be afraid! If you miss us, just call us."
It has to be said that his son's words did offer Xiao Yuheng some comfort: "Then don't forget to answer the phone while you're playing."
"Of course, don't worry, Dad, we won't forget you."
After Xiao Erbao finished speaking, Xiao Dabao added, "But Dad, you can't let your guard down. My mom is beautiful and a college graduate. Although she gave birth to the two of us, my brother and I are smart and clever, which might not be a disadvantage for Mom. If you're not around, someone else might take a fancy to Mom."
"Da Bao, aren't you going to help Dad keep an eye on him?"
"It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on you. Dad, you must have heard that saying before. Mom is so well-off, it's normal for someone to be interested in her, isn't it? My brother and I will have to go to school, we won't have time to watch over her 24/7, so this is something you have to decide for yourself."
"Dad, don't panic! Try your best to come to Beijing to find us as soon as possible. Mom is a woman, and she needs her husband to take care of her. This is your responsibility, and we can't take her place."
Xiao Yuheng was overjoyed to hear Da Bao say something so reasonable.
"Okay, Dad will try his best."
Trains are always crowded before the New Year. When Xiao Yuheng helped his family to the sleeper berth, Xiao Erbao almost lost one of his shoes. Even after he got to his seat, he was still patting his chest and saying, "Mom! That was so scary! If it weren't for Dad, Erbao would have been crushed."
"Now you realize how good I am?"
After settling his luggage, Xiao Yuheng finally had time to talk to the two children.
"Of course, I do have my father in my heart."
"Where am I ranked?"
Xiao Erbao was surprised that his usually calm father would ask such a question, and immediately didn't want to talk to him anymore. "Dad, you're in your mid-twenties! Not two years old."
"I think you're feeling guilty."
Xiao Erbao didn't answer, but stuck out his tongue and said "little little little".
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
As soon as the train arrived, people kept coming out. Xiao's father and the village chief stood on tiptoe at the door and searched around but couldn't find the family, so they started to get anxious.
"You have a child with you, how can you squeeze in with everyone else? Don't worry, you'll be out soon."
The next second, the two children, Da Bao and Er Bao, were in their mother's arms.
"Grandpa! Great-uncle!"
The two little ones rushed into the two men's arms like cannonballs, so fast and accurate that they almost knocked the two men back a small step.
