When Gu Mingze received the telegram from his father-in-law, he was at home listening to his elder brother criticizing his wife.

"Brother, Xiaoyan is my wife. If you say he is wrong, then I am wrong. If that's the case, brother, do you dislike me?"

Gu Mingze never thought that his elder brother would become so fussy and fussy now, fussing about every little thing.

"No, Lao Si, what do you mean by that? I, as the eldest brother, can't even say a few words to your wife?" Gu Mingtao heard this and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"You can say it if you want to. Anyway, I have already kowtowed to my parents. There is nothing to do at home. I will leave tomorrow." In the past two days since Gu Mingze came back, he has completely understood why his wife asked him to have no contact with relatives at home before he left.

Ever since the day he came back, these relatives have been constantly saying unfilial things to him in his ears.

What's even more outrageous is that he claimed that since his parents were gone, they were his elders.

I have to find them a job in the city that is not tiring.

This was really making him laugh to death.

He sternly refused on the spot, saying that he was just a soldier and could not arrange jobs for people, so he asked them to find someone else.

This completely angered those relatives, and they pointed at his nose and started scolding him on the spot.

He ignored it and pretended he didn't hear it, and continued doing what he was doing.

When Gu Mingtao heard Lao Si say that he was going back, he opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the postman outside.

"Does Gu Mingze live here? There's an urgent telegram for you."

"It's me." When Gu Mingze heard it was an urgent telegram, he strode out in a hurry, signed, opened the telegram on the spot, and read the contents inside. His heart skipped a beat.

But he folded up the telegram and put it in his pocket, then turned back and went into the house. He looked at his second brother and said, "Second brother, the army told me to go back quickly, so I won't eat. I'm going to the commune to take a bus to the city now."

"Old Four, you've only been back for two or three days. Why are you leaving so suddenly? Stay for two more days." Gu Minghai never expected that Old Four would leave again after just coming back and before the kang was even warm. He hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay for two more days.

"Don't keep him here. Can't you see that his heart is not with us anymore? Why keep him here?" Gu Mingtao despised the second brother's look the most. Seeing that he was still asking to keep him here, he couldn't help but mock him.

"Brother, I have found out everything I need to know in the past two days since I came back. I won't tell you what you have done. I think we should just be brothers from now on."

Gu Mingze originally didn't want to settle accounts with his elder brother, but now that he saw him nagging non-stop beside him, he said angrily

"What do you mean by that? Your parents are gone, and you don't plan to recognize us poor relatives, right?" Gu Mingtao felt nervous when he heard what the fourth brother said, but he still shouted loudly.

"I don't want to argue with you, so don't tell me here. You should think about what you did yourself."

After Gu Mingze said this, he came out and walked in first. I packed my things, came out with the bag, said hello to his second brother, then walked out and headed straight for the commune.

"Brother, what does Lao Si mean by this? What have you done to offend them?" Gu Minghai looked at Lao Si walking away, turned around and asked his eldest brother with a confused look on his face.

"It's okay, he's just talking nonsense. Since there's nothing to do here, I'll go back first." After saying this, Gu Mingtao turned around and left with a guilty look on his face.

"This family is completely broken up, alas!" Gu Minghai sighed helplessly as he thought about his elder brother's guilty look when he left.

But in this family, both parents are gone, and it’s time for the brothers to live their own lives.

Since you don't get along, then don't try to get together. Just leave it at that.

So, the Gu family disappeared from Lu Qingyan's sight from then on.

But many years later, when their lives became better, Lu Qingyan still lent Gu Minghai's family some money so that they could start their own small business.

This also allowed Gu Minghai and his family to live a happy life that was not as good as any other, but better than any other.

As for Gu Mingtao and Gu Minghe, no one cares about them.

How they live has nothing to do with Gu Mingze and the others.

Even when Gu Mingze and his family returned to their hometown to pay tribute to their elders, they would just nod and treat each other as strangers when they met each other.

By the way, when Lu Qingyan was taken to a secret office, she was surrounded by protection.

Seeing the person coming, Lin Zhongguo stood up and said, "Comrade Lu, this is the information we just found. Please help us translate it as soon as possible. We need it urgently."

"Okay, I'll start now." When Lu Qingyan saw that it was Lin Zhongguo in the office, she breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, picked up the documents and started working.

In this way, Lu Qingyan began to be busy, until Gu Mingze came back and picked her up every day, and they started to go out early and come back late.

Ten days later, all the information was translated and she finished her work.

I just got home, washed up quickly, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Xiaoyan has been exhausted recently, so let her have a good rest. I'll put the food in the pot and we can eat it when she wakes up."

Mother Lu prepared the meal, put her daughter's portion aside and put it in the pot. Then she came out and looked at the old man and son-in-law and said,

"Okay, Xiaoyan is really exhausted these days, going out early and coming back late. Let's see if there is any meat for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. Buy some more and give my daughter some good nourishment."

Father Lu felt sorry for his daughters who had lost a lot of weight in recent days, so he planned to get up early tomorrow morning to queue up and see if he could buy some meat.

Gu Mingze was listening to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's words with a satisfied smile on his face.

Although his own parents are gone, he still has a pair of parents who care about them, which makes him very content.

After everyone finished their meal, they went about their own business.

The two children were also taken out to play by Lu's mother, because she was afraid that they would make a noise at home and wake up her daughter.

When Lu Qingyan woke up, it was almost dark.

She opened her eyes and sat up, touched her starving stomach, got up, put on her shoes and went out.

"Awake? Then wait a little longer. Dinner will be ready soon." Mother Lu didn't expect her daughter to sleep like this for the whole day. Fortunately, dinner was almost ready at this time. She could eat it after waiting a little longer.

"Don't worry, I'll go wash up first." Hearing this, Lu Qingyan shook her head and said that she was not in a hurry, then turned around and went to wash up.

In this way, the family began a peaceful and happy life.

Until one day three years later, Lu Qingyan received the news and had no choice but to pick up the book and start reading seriously.
