After the children spread the word, almost everyone in the village knew that Song Fuyu had returned.

Jin Kai and Tong Youyou quickly put down their farm work and trotted home. On the way, they met the team leader who was limping towards their home.

Wang Zhiyong accidentally stepped on a fist-sized stone two days ago. He didn't fall to the ground completely, but he sprained his foot.

"Uncle Wang, please come slowly. Let's go back and open the door for Song Zhiqing first, otherwise she will have to stand outside the house."

"Okay, don't worry about me, just go open the door."

Jin Kai and Tong Youyou saw Song Fuyu standing outside the yard from a distance. They had asked her to keep a key, but she refused and gave them all to them.

"Hey, Aunt Wu, why are you here?"

Jin Kai saw her back just now and felt familiar. She turned around and found that it was Aunt Wu whom she hadn't seen for several years. He immediately went forward and gave her a hug.

"I miss you so much!"

"You little potato are good at coaxing people. You say you miss me, but Uncle Li and I live only half a day's drive away from you, and I've never seen you come over once."

Although Wu Hong said this, she was very happy in her heart.

Jin Kai's personality is completely different from Yan Ziyuan's.

Yan Ziyuan is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, while Jin Kai is the type who is hot all over.

When he was very young, he often used his mouth filled with honey to coax adults into buying him snacks.

"Aunt Wu, I definitely didn't lie to you, I swear."

"If my brother Yan hadn't told me to stop bothering my sister-in-law in the team, I would have gone there more often."

"Don't listen to him. If he doesn't want you to go, you can just stay at his house. You can come to our house and stay as long as you want."

“That’s a good feeling.”

"When the farm work in the village is not busy, I will bring my wife to your house to stay for a while to accompany you and Uncle Li. Please don't find us annoying when the time comes."

"By the way, I haven't introduced you guys yet."

"Youyou, this is Aunt Wu, my mother's half-sister."

"Hello, Aunt Wu. My name is Tong Youyou. You can call me Youyou."

"Hello, Youyou. I heard Xiaoyu say that Akai is very lucky to have married a lovely girl. Seeing her today, I can see that what she said is true."

Tong Youyou's face turned slightly red when she praised him, and she quickly opened the door and invited them to come in and sit down.

"Akai, I've got some things in the trunk for you. You and Comrade Li can take them together."

Yesterday, while everyone else was busy, she took more than an hour to ask Wang Jun to drive her to the department store.

She bought some items that she apparently brought with her, but most of them were taken directly from the space.

In addition to what he brought for Jin Kai and the others, he also planned to add some supplies to the cowshed.

"Sister-in-law, you are... flattered. Isn't this too much? Does my brother Yan know? He won't ask me for money, right?"

"It's not all for your family, there are also Uncle Wang, Aunt Fang, and..."

She pointed in the direction of the cowshed with her eyes.

Jin Kai understood immediately and said nothing more.

"Take it out first, and I'll divide it up when we get into the house."

"Okay~"

While Jin Kai was moving things, she saw the captain limping.

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"I accidentally sprained my ankle a few days ago."

"Is it serious? Have you been to the hospital?"

"I went to see Doctor Zhao, and he said it was just a simple sprain, with no injuries to the tendons or bones. It will be healed in two days."

"I'm glad you're okay. You should be more careful next time."

"How have you been doing in the past six months since you left the village?"

"It's pretty good. The people in the army are just like the people in the village. They are easy to get along with."

"That's good."

"You two stop talking outside, come in and rest for a while."

"Uncle Wang, Song Zhiqing finally came back. My wife and I will cook some delicious dishes for lunch today, and we will also invite Uncle Lin over, so you can have a couple of drinks."

"Okay, let's call Lao Lin over later!"

If Jin Kai accompanied him to drink, Wang Zhiyong would not be very happy.

Having seen what he did when he was drunk and in that crazy state, he didn't want to see it again.

In addition to calling Uncle Lin over at noon, Tong Youyou also called Wang Menghan, Xia Lan and others.

"Fu Yu, thank you for the wedding gift. I like it very much."

Wang Menghan didn't expect that she would ask Tong Youyou to bring back two enamel cups for her. She felt extremely surprised when she received them.

"I'm glad you like it. Congratulations again on your happy marriage."

"Thank you~"

"When are you leaving? Can I still treat you to dinner tonight?"

"I'm afraid I can't today. I borrowed the car from the garment factory. I have to go back after dinner in case they need the car."

"Next time, there's always a chance."

Wang Menghan felt a little regretful, but there was nothing she could do for now.

"By the way, how are you living now? Are you still living with Sister Xia Lan?"

I didn't see a newly built house when I was outside, it still looked the same as before.

"We don't live together anymore."

"After Tong Tao and I got married, Sister Xia Lan gave us her house and moved back to the Youth Hostel. Now there is only Zhuang Zhiqing left in the Youth Hostel. She is a nice person, and the two of them keep each other company and live quite comfortably."

"It's really nice without any annoying people around."

"What about you? How is it in Lu City?"

“It’s pretty good.”

"We live in a separate courtyard, so there aren't that many worries."

Of course, it would have been better if I hadn’t met the family next door.

After dinner, before she got up to go to Gu's house, she saw Gu Yuan quietly looking inside the courtyard gate.

"Ayuan, long time no see."

"Sister Fu Yu, long time no see."

"Wait for me here for a moment. I'll go into the house to get something and then go sit with you at your house."

Carrying the things out, Gu Yuan was afraid that she would be tired, so he quickly took some of them and held them in his own hands.

"Sister Fu Yu, is there any news about my father?"

"Yes, I do."

"He still...still..."

He hesitated to speak, and could not utter the last few words.

"Don't worry, he's still alive."

Hearing these words, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes turned red.

It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive...

He is still alive, at least he and his sisters still have a father.

"Then why didn't he come back?"

"Has he forgotten us?"

He had read in a book before that some people might lose their memory when they get sick or something bad happens to them.

Dad hasn’t come back for so long. Could it be that he has also lost his previous memories and can’t remember the way home?

"He hasn't forgotten you. On the contrary, he misses you very much. He is just injured and unable to move now, so he didn't come back. When his treatment is completed, he will come back and reunite with you."

"Really?"

Hearing the female voice behind them, Song Fuyu and Gu Yuan stopped in their tracks at the same time.

They all turned around and saw Aunt Fang carrying a basket of vegetables and looking at Song Fuyu with tears in her eyes, wanting to get an accurate answer from her.

The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation just now that they didn't notice when Aunt Fang followed them. They didn't know what she heard. Judging from her current condition, she must have heard everything she should and shouldn't have heard.

Song Fuyu nodded at her affirmatively.

"Where is he now?"

"Aunt Fang, how about we go to your house and talk about it?"

You might meet people outside at any time, and Aunt Fang is not the type of person who wants others to see her vulnerable side.

After wiping away their tears, the three of them quickly entered the Gu family's house and sat on the kang. Song Fuyu slowly told them about Gu Hai.
