Han Zhenyu shook his head nonchalantly. "We understand how you feel. These things are a heavy blow to anyone. I admire your perseverance for being able to hold on until now."
Gu Fangxun smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I just managed to hold on until now."
Han Zhenyu patted his shoulder comfortingly and told Gu Fangxun what he and Su Xieqiu had discussed last night.
"We suddenly have two more children in our family, so we have to find a reason to shut up the villagers. As for the household registration of the two children, we have to report it to our team first. Once your family affairs are settled, we can move the household registration."
Seeing that they had thought of all this, Gu Fangxun said gratefully, "Thank you and your wife for your thorough consideration. I'll leave the two children to you from now on."
"Don't be polite." Han Zhenyu suddenly thought of something and asked him, "Comrade Gu, does Director Wu know about this?"
The Director Wu he was referring to is the purchasing director of the county armed forces department, and the cousin of Gu Fangxun's brother-in-law.
Gu Fangxun shook his head. "I haven't told him yet. I'll meet him privately before I leave. You don't need to mention this to him. He has never met my sister's child."
It’s not that Gu Fangxun distrusts his brother-in-law’s cousin, but his wife is very realistic.
Before my brother-in-law's family went bankrupt, everyone had a good relationship.
But now people may not want to be involved with them. For the safety of the two children and Han Zhenyu's family, it is better for fewer people to know about it.
Zhenyu understood what he said, and he stood up with a smile, "Since it's settled, don't stay in the guesthouse, come to my house."
Gu Fangxun asked hesitantly, "Would it be bad if I went with you?"
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. Just say you're here to send the child off. Our home is far from the village and it's relatively quiet. You can stay at home with the child for a few days and let them get familiar with the environment before leaving."
Thinking it would be inconvenient for his wife to be at home with a grown man, Han Zhenyu planned to ask for a few days off from the factory and go back to work after Gu Fangxun left.
Gu Fangxun said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, because there are only six days left before my registration date. It takes several changes of trains to get from here to the Northwest, so I have to leave two days in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chenchen threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and her shoulders twitched from crying.
Gu Fangxun hugged him and comforted him, "Chenchen, don't cry, your uncle will come to see you later."
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu both felt a little uncomfortable watching this.
Su Xieqiu saw An An also grinning and ready to cry, so he quickly picked her up and comforted her.
Han Zhenyu went to the factory and asked for two days' leave, and said hello to Deputy Director Bai.
He went to find an ox cart and took Gu Fangxun and the others back to the village.
It is the busy farming season now. Except for a few old men and women who are taking care of their children at home, most people in the village go to work.
So the whole village seemed very quiet.
Gu Fangxun looked at the small village at the foot of the mountain.
To the north of the village is a lush mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is fertile black soil.
The path in the field is long and quiet, with the occasional cries of children and barking of dogs breaking the tranquility.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu led the way on bicycles.
After passing through the village, they stopped at a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Han Zhenyu gave a few cents to the old man driving the ox cart, and Su Xieqiu took out the key to open the gate.
"Comrade Gu, please come in."
Gu Wenxun held An An in his arms and followed the couple into the yard.
"Han Zhenyu, is your house newly built? It looks very nice."
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded, "It was just built. We just moved in the day before yesterday."
He took the luggage of the three people to the room where he lived and said with a smile: "Comrade Gu, you can take Chen Chen An An to rest for a while. After dinner, I will take you to walk around the neighborhood."
"We are not tired. Is there any work you need me to do?" Gu Fangxun asked.
"There's not much to do at home, how about I take you to the backyard?" Han Zhenyu was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable when they first arrived, so he prepared to take them around the house to get familiar with it.
"OK."
Su Xieqiu was pouring water for them in the main room. There was a plate of snacks on the table. Seeing them coming out, she smiled and said, "Chenchen, An'an, are you hungry? Eat some snacks first. Auntie will make delicious food for you at noon."
Jiang Lichen shook his head, "Thank you, Auntie, I'm not hungry."
An An was not so polite. She let go of her uncle's hand, threw herself into Su Xieqiu's arms, pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "Eat, eat..."
Su Xieqiu picked her up with a smile, gave her a cookie, and stuffed two more into Chenchen's hands, "Eat it."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chenchen thanked her himself and glanced at his sister.
Seeing that the little girl was eating with relish in Su Xieqiu's arms and had no time to pay attention to him, he whispered to her: "Sister, say thank you to your aunt."
An An was very well behaved. Upon hearing her brother's reminder, she immediately smiled with her small teeth showing, "Thank you, Auntie."
"An An is so well behaved, and Chen Chen is also well behaved." Su Xie Qiu smiled and pinched An An's face, praising the brother and sister.
Then he smiled and said to Chenchen: "We are a family from now on, no need to be so polite."
"Okay, I understand, Auntie." Chenchen nodded obediently.
Seeing how obedient his little one was, Su Xieqiu sighed in his heart.
This is because he knows that he will be living under someone else's roof in the future, so he will agree to whatever I say.
Han Zhenyu smiled and picked up Chenchen. "Come on, I'll take you and your uncle to the backyard. Let An'an play here with your aunt."
Chenchen was startled when he was suddenly hugged, and quickly hugged his neck tightly, then looked at him and smiled embarrassedly.
Han Zhenyu laughed and patted his butt, then carried him and Gu Fangxun to the backyard.
There was a small pile of firewood in the vegetable shed, which Han Zhenyu had chopped when he went to the mountain during his free time these days.
The green vegetables in the field have sprouted, and they look very pleasing to the eye with their green color.
Gu Fangxun looked at the tidy courtyard and thought that the couple were really capable.
At such a young age, he has his own house, and he makes it so warm and comfortable.
From then on, Chenchen and Anan followed them and at least had a stable place to live.
He saw the well in the corner and the brick laundry table next to it and asked, "Han Zhenyu, can we use that well?"
Han Zhenyu was teaching Chenchen to identify the grass in the field. When he heard what he said, he nodded and said, "You can use it. It's a newly dug well."
"I want to wash the dirty clothes I changed on the road these days. Is it convenient?"
He was taking care of two young children, and even though he was staying in a guesthouse, he didn't dare let the children out of his sight, so he didn't wash the clothes he had changed in the past few days.
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. I'll get you a wooden bucket and soap. Just bring all your clothes over and we'll wash them together."
"No, no, I can do it myself." Gu Fangxun quickly refused. How could he have the nerve to let others help him wash clothes?
