"Dad, Datao, you guys are back. How is Dad?" Niu Lili saw a bullock cart coming up ahead and hurried over to ask.

"Dad is fine, don't worry about him." Gu Mingtao shook his head, drove the ox cart to the doorstep, and helped his father get off the cart and go into the house.

Gu Minghai took the whip directly and sent the ox cart back to the team.

"It's good that everything is fine. Come in and see my mother. She has been making a fuss at home all day." Niu Lili asked the two to come in and went to the kitchen to cook.

But while cooking, I was thinking that this person had come back and I didn’t know how much money he had spent.

The second brother said that he would split it equally with her, but I don’t know if it’s true.

"Lili, make some porridge for him. The doctor said he should eat something light for the next two days." Gu Mingtao walked to the kitchen door and said to his wife who was cooking.

"I understand, but Datao, how much did Dad spend on the hospital visit this time? The second son said he wanted to split the money with us, but I don't know if he can give us the money." Niu Lili saw her husband just coming in, so she asked

"Not only will the second son share it with us, Dad has asked the second son to send a telegram to the fourth son, so he must be in the car by now." Gu Mingtao knew that his wife was worried about the money, so he whispered to her.

"Really?" Niu Lili said with a smile when she heard that the fourth child was coming back: "Then he should be able to give parents a lot of money when he comes back this time."

"That's not possible. The fourth son is married and will have a child soon. He can't give much money to his parents when he comes back." Gu Mingtao thought that after getting married, everyone would think about their own family. The fourth son used to be generous to them, but that was before they got married. Now that he is married and has a child, he definitely can't give much money to the family.

"It shouldn't be possible. The fourth brother has been away for a long time. He finally came back, so he can't give them more money?" Niu Lili said this while she started to calculate in her mind. When the fourth brother came back, they would cry poor and see if he could lend them some money.

The two elders in the room were also talking about the fourth son coming back.

"Why did you ask that heartless guy to come back? How can he take us to live in the city?" Lin Dacui said with a gloomy face when she heard the old man say that he had sent a telegram to Lao Si.

"Old lady, this is what I think. We can't stay in the brigade any longer, so I thought of sending a telegram to Lao Si, asking him to come back. We can cry in front of him, and then we can ask him to go to the city with us. How can he not agree?" Old Man Gu had already figured out what Lao Si would say when he came back, and now he was just waiting for him to come back and cry.

"Then don't forget, given the condition of the fourth brother's wife, there will be no one to take care of us if we go there." Lin Dacui now understood that even if she and the fourth brother went to live in the city, there would be no one to take care of them, so they might as well live in the brigade.

"Who said that? Don't forget, the city is different from our brigade. If the fourth brother's wife doesn't serve us, we will go out and tell them. Then, for the sake of face, we have to let the fourth brother's wife serve us." Old Man Gu knew that his son was a leader in the army. If his wife didn't serve his parents, the fourth brother would lose face.

Once this man loses face, he can do anything.

"I think you're thinking this well, but the fourth son's wife doesn't agree with us going." Lin Dacui looked at the old man smiling and thinking about living in the city, and couldn't help but hit him.

"Okay, I won't talk to you. Just wait and come live with me in the city." Old Man Gu didn't insist on going to the city, but the scoundrel family of the third brother would not let them have an easy life.

Therefore, only after they left could the third brother's family have peace of mind.

"Mom and Dad, it's time to eat." Niu Lili walked in with a bowl of rice porridge and said

"Leave it there. Bring us some pickles. Otherwise, it's so light that your father and I can't eat it." Lin Dacui looked at the white rice porridge and eggs, swallowed her saliva, and looked up at her eldest daughter-in-law and said

"Mom, Da Tao said that the doctor told my dad to eat something light these two days. Please bear with it, or I will get you some pickled vegetables. My dad should eat them too." Niu Lili thought about what her husband had told her, and said to her mother-in-law.

"Okay then." When Lin Dacui heard the doctor tell the old man to eat light food, she reluctantly took the porridge and started eating.

On the other side, Gu Mingze, Lu Qingyan and others finally got off the bus at night after a day and night of torment.

But because it was night and there were no cars back to the county, they could only go to the guesthouse with their letters of introduction and book two rooms.

The next morning, after checking out and eating at a state-owned restaurant, I took two buses before arriving at the commune.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoyan, wait here for a while. I'll go look for a bullock cart." Gu Mingze asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to bring his wife to wait for him here for a while. He went to the place where the bullock carts were parked to see if he could find a bullock cart to the brigade.

When we got to the place where the ox carts were parked, we were lucky enough to see the Dongfeng Brigade's ox carts parked there.

He told people about the situation and said that he could give them some money and let him drive a bullock cart to take them back to the two brigades.

In this way, the ox cart took Gu Mingze and Lu Qingyan to the entrance of Majia Brigade village, let them get off, and then took Lu's father and mother back to the brigade.

"Xiaoyan, don't forget what your mother told you. If anything happens, send someone to the brigade to inform us." After Lu's mother reminded her daughter twice, she left.

"How is it? Does your stomach hurt? Are you feeling unwell anywhere else in your body?" Gu Mingze held Lu Qingyan's arm with one hand and held the things with the other, looking at his wife and asking with concern.

"It's okay, everything is fine, you don't have to worry about me." Lu Qingyan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Gu Mingze was relieved to hear that his wife was not feeling uncomfortable, and helped her back home.

But just as he reached the door, he saw that his door was open and the two girls from his third brother's family were playing at the door, which made him feel depressed.

"Uncle, you're back?" Daya was playing with her sister at the door when she suddenly saw someone at the door and shouted.

"Well, Daya, why are you playing outside the door of Fourth Uncle's room?" Gu Mingze saw that the yard was quiet and he didn't know whether his father was in the hospital or at home, so he prepared to help his wife go into the house to rest first, and then go out to ask

"Uncle, this is our room. My sister and I live here." Daya looked at Gu Mingze and said seriously.

"Mingze, come in quickly." After hearing the noise in the yard, Old Man Gu hurriedly lay down on the kang and pretended to be weak and called out

"Dad is home, let's go inside first and talk about the house later." Gu Mingze heard his father calling him, and looked at his wife and whispered

"Yeah." Lu Qingyan had a gloomy face and walked into the room of the two elders, holding her belly.
