Gu Fangxun thought for a moment and said, "Zhenyu, I'm going to go to the farm before I return to Beijing, but I can't go with you. My sister and I look a lot like each other, and if someone finds out, it will get you into trouble."
"Okay then. I'll listen to you." Han Zhenyu thought it made sense. His wife said that it would take more than a year for the gang to fall, so they really couldn't expose all of their members.
Over the past year, if there is anything happening on the farm, I can still help out.
Gu Fangxun told him about his family's plans again, "Zhenyu, I talked to my father on the phone before I came here. He said that although he has resumed work, the situation is still very unstable. He doesn't dare to take Chenchen and An'an back, and wants them to continue living in your house."
Han Zhenyu said: "Don't worry about the kids. Chenchen and An'an are very sensible. As long as they are willing, they can live here as long as they want."
"I know that Chenchen and Anan were taught very well by you." Gu Fangxun was very glad that he handed the children to Han Zhenyu and his wife at that time.
It was winter when he came last time. Chenchen and An'an were plump and white. Their cotton-padded clothes were new without any patches.
The two children were not at all surprised by the snacks, candies and various foods he brought. It was obvious at first glance that they had enough food.
Although I am a little thinner and darker this time than before, it should be because I have been running around in the summer.
Although the two men had lost weight, they had grown a lot taller and looked better than the kids in the army.
As for the clothes that Chenchen and Anan are wearing, both in terms of fabric and style, are not much worse than those worn by children in big cities.
The most rare thing is that the children behaved in a graceful and polite manner.
Gu Fangxun knew that if he didn't cultivate his child carefully, he would not have such magnanimity.
Su Xieqiu and Chenchen came over with the food, a big bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles, and two plates of mixed vegetables.
"Brother Gu, just eat something to fill your stomach first."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Fangxun quickly took the bowl of noodles.
Han Zhenyu took the two dishes from Chenchen's hand and put them on the table, "Eat quickly."
Gu Fangxun was indeed hungry, so he didn't hesitate. As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he saw An An and the twins looking at him at the door with curiosity in their eyes.
He smiled and asked, "An'an, Haohao and Xuanxuan, are you hungry? How about we eat together?"
Xuanxuan, who was quick-talking, shook his head and said, "Uncle, you eat. We are not hungry. We had braised pork at the state-owned restaurant today, and we are still full now."
Haohao added: "I also ate pork elbow, boiled peanuts, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and egg soup."
"Wow, so many delicious foods?" Gu Fangxun asked him in surprise.
"Yes, it was made for us by Grandpa Zhou himself. The pork elbow is delicious, soft, sticky and especially fragrant."
“The braised pork is delicious too.”
The two brothers chatted with each other, showing off the food they had for lunch.
When Grandpa Du saw them here, Gu Fangxun couldn't eat anymore.
He stood up with a smile, pulled the twins and said, "Come on, Grandpa will take you for a walk outside."
An An wanted to go with him, but Han Zhenyu waved at her and said, "You and your brother stay here and talk to your uncle."
"Oh." An An responded and looked at Gu Fangxun again.
She looked a little timid. She knew that this man was her uncle and wanted to get close to him, but she felt a little embarrassed because they were not familiar with each other.
Han Zhenyu saw it, said hello to Gu Fangxun, and went to the kitchen.
Grandma Du and Su Xieqiu were preparing dinner.
One of them was kneading the dough while the other was chopping the meat, and there was soup stewing in the casserole on the stove.
Han Zhenyu washed his hands and took the knife from Su Xieqiu, "I'll do the chopping."
"Okay, I'll go clean up the dishes."
Since Gu Fangxun came from so far away, I have to cook a few dishes to entertain him.
Grandma Du was worried about Gu Fangxun's injury and asked in a low voice: "Zhenyu, where is Fangxun injured? Is it serious?"
"Grandma, I haven't asked yet. He said it was just a skin injury, but I don't think it's serious. I'll ask him in detail tonight." Han Zhenyu put the chopped stuffing in a bowl and started cutting sauerkraut.
Grandma Du sighed, "How could such a good family end up like this?"
Han Zhenyu whispered, "Grandma, I just heard from Fang Xun that his father has resumed work and everything will be fine in the future."
Grandma Du and Su Xieqiu looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that's great." Grandma Du was very happy.
She suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Is he here to pick up Chenchen and Anan this time?"
It can be said that Grandma Du has seen these children grow up since they were young.
Although Chenchen and Anan are not her grandson's children, they spend time together every day and the two children are so well-behaved that Grandma Du has long treated them as her own children.
If she was taken away, she would be reluctant to leave.
"Grandma, no, he came here on vacation to visit." Then he said to Grandma Du and Su Xieqiu, "It's just that Fang Xun's father has resumed work, and Chenchen's parents and grandparents are still on the farm."
When Grandma Du heard that they were not here to pick up Chenchen and An'an, she was relieved. But when she heard that their parents had not come out yet, she became worried again.
Su Xieqiu saw her relieved for a while, then worried again, and he smiled and comforted her.
"Grandma, Chenchen's grandpa has started working, and I think his parents should be coming out soon. They haven't seen each other as a family for so many years. When they resume work, they will definitely take Chenchen and An'an away. We have to understand."
"Grandma knows." Although Grandma Du said this, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Northeast China is so far away from Beijing. If the two children leave, it will be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
Thinking of the well-behaved Chenchen and Anan, Grandma Du's eyes became red.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
Han Zhenyu approached the old lady and teased her with a smile, "Grandma, if Chenchen and An'an return to Beijing with their parents, I will buy a house in Beijing and we will all move there. What do you think?"
"You little rascal, you only know how to make me happy." Grandma Du patted him with a smile and didn't mention the matter again.
Just like my granddaughter-in-law said just now, Chenchen and Anan are only fostered in their home for a period of time.
When the children's parents come out, they must go home with their parents. How can they stay in this mountain valley forever? It's not good for the children either.
The three of them were making dumplings when Gu Fangxun came over with Chenchen and Anan, holding the empty bowls and plates.
He looked at the dishes on the chopping board and said embarrassedly, "Grandma, sister-in-law, just eat something casually. Don't make it too complicated." As Gu Fangxun said this, he was about to wash his hands and come over to help.
"It's not a big deal. Just a few home-cooked dishes. We would have eaten the same way even if you hadn't come." Grandma Du looked at him with a smile, "Son, you must be exhausted after traveling for several days. Go to the main hall and rest. You are not needed here."
Su Xieqiu also smiled and said, "It's just a home-cooked meal. Grandma and I will make it, and let Chenchen and An'an talk to you."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble grandma and my sister-in-law." Gu Fangxun said.
