Chen Xingling smiled and asked back: "Isn't it just a car? Look how excited you are!"
Several sisters-in-law also laughed and told the children not to get too close to the car and to just watch from a distance.
"Look! Little Tiger is running towards the car!" a niece shouted.
Chen Xingling was startled to find that his son, who used to sit under the banyan tree and drink coconut juice, was gone. Only a coconut shell was left on a small stool. He hurriedly stood up and looked forward - he saw his chubby son running towards the slowly approaching jeep, as if he was about to pounce on it.
"Yinmo!" Chen Xingling was terrified and chased after him regardless of his own safety.
Everyone was frightened by Xiao Huzi and dropped their work and rushed over.
Chen Xingling's heart was in a knot until she noticed that the jeep in front of her seemed to have seen the little kid running towards her and quickly braked. Only then did she feel relieved.
But she was still terrified!
"Gu Yinmo!" Chen Xingling roared.
The little tiger was frightened by his mother's lion roar. He immediately stopped his chubby little feet covered with mud, turned his head to look over suspiciously, and then froze for a moment.
He saw his mother chasing after him, and several aunts and cousins ran behind his mother, staring at him in panic. He didn't know what was going on, so he stood in the middle of the road in confusion.
Chen Xingling rushed forward, grabbed his son's chubby arm, and pulled him back to the side of the village road, his mouth full of fear and anger.
"Get out of the way! Danger, danger! Do you understand? If a car is coming, you have to get out of the way. Why are you running forward? You little bastard—"
"Dad!" Little Tiger didn't bother to finish listening and pointed at the jeep excitedly: "Dad! Dad is here!"
Forehead?
Chen Xingling's mind and eyes were full of his son's safety, so he had no time to pay attention to anything else. After hearing this, he suddenly looked at the jeep and was stunned for a moment.
Sitting in the driver's seat was a tall, thin and upright young man with handsome features and an extraordinary temperament.
——It was really Gu Qi!
Gu Qi also looked at her, smiled slightly, quickly opened the door and came down, standing with his long legs as straight as lead and as straight as a pine tree.
"Dad!" Little Tiger shouted excitedly.
Chen Xingling's heart was filled with excitement. He hadn't seen him for more than half a month and had no concrete news at all. The worry and longing he had felt for more than a dozen days and nights suddenly flooded into his heart. He couldn't help but rush forward and hug him.
Before Gu Qi could open his mouth, he saw his wife rushing over and hugged him.
"You... you're finally back." Chen Xingling's voice was choked with sobs. "I was so worried... you left in such a hurry that morning, and I just let you go. Thinking back, what if the ship couldn't hold on... what would you do? What if something happened? Would you get into trouble too? I didn't dare to say it... I was so worried!"
Gu Qi hugged her tightly and whispered to comfort her: "Nothing happened, everything is fine. We returned safely last night, and everyone on the boat reached the dock safely, and no one was injured."
Regardless of whether it is a task from his superiors or not, when faced with such a situation, no matter how dangerous or difficult it is, he has no choice but to do it.
The ship was broken and tilted on the ice. If the ship was not repaired carefully, more than a hundred lives on board would be in danger, and the important equipment in the cabin would sink into the sea, and the loss would be terrible.
He risked his life to save the boat and the people, but he also had family and loved ones behind him, and each of them must have been bearing tormenting worry and anxiety for him.
He dared not talk about or even think about the dangerous and risky scenes during that period.
It was enough for him to return safely, and he couldn't tell her anything. It was fine for this period of time, he didn't want his wife to worry about him anymore.
"A situation like this is extremely special. It has never happened before and may never happen again. Don't worry, I won't make you worry anymore."
Chen Xingling let him go, nervously felt his neck and chest, and looked around him.
"You're not hurt, are you? No? Are you? Oops! Your hand is hurt?"
Gu Qi smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's just a small scratch, it's nothing serious. Look, the wound is all calloused."
At this time, Xiao Huzi squeezed over and looked at Gu Qi with his chubby head raised.
"Dad! I saw you in the car! I wanted to find you, but Mom held me back and wouldn't let me come over. It turned out that she wanted to hold you by herself and wouldn't let you hold me."
Chen Xingling: “…”
Is that so? She was obviously worried about whether he was a good boy or not? How did it have to do with hugging his father?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
Several sisters-in-law burst into laughter, and even some nephews and nieces joined in the laughter.
Gu Qi let go of his wife awkwardly, nodded and asked his sisters-in-law, then picked up his son and held him in his arms.
The eldest sister-in-law spoke first: "Brother-in-law is back - too fast! Is he here to pick up my sister-in-law and Xiaohuzi?"
Gu Qi smiled and replied, "I came back last night. I heard that Xing'er and Huzi were both at their mother's house, so I came to pick them up when I was free."
Several sisters-in-law greeted her one after another and asked their nephews and nieces to call her "aunt".
Gu Qi smiled and responded one by one.
"Everything has been arranged. My husband will drive the tractor to take my sister-in-law and Huzi back to the city later. I didn't expect my brother-in-law to come and pick them up in advance! My brother-in-law can't wait!"
"Hahaha! I can't wait, I'll come here myself!"
Gu Qiqi was shy and would not respond to such a situation. His handsome face turned slightly red and he didn't know how to start the conversation while holding his son.
Little Tiger didn't understand why everyone was laughing, but since everyone was laughing, he just laughed along and kept laughing.
Chen Xingling's pretty face flushed, but she insisted on helping Gu Qi out of the situation in a graceful and generous manner.
"Come on! My Gu Qi is a thin-skinned man, please stop teasing him. We are all family, how can we bully each other?"
Several sisters-in-law laughed and continued to tease.
"Oh! My sister-in-law is really distressed!"
"I can't bear to see my brother-in-law being laughed at by us!"
"The energy you used to hug your brother-in-law just now! You pounced on him so vigorously. If he hadn't stood firmly, he might have fallen to the ground. Why weren't you afraid of your brother-in-law's thin skin at that time?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chen Xingling's face was so red, but she still insisted on standing in front of Gu Qi.
"Oh, oh, oh, sisters-in-law, please forgive him. Come on, come on! Let's go back first and let him drive the car under the banyan tree. After all, this is the main road of the village. It will be troublesome if it blocks other people's ox carts or tractors."
The sisters-in-law thought it made sense and quickly pulled the little kids back.
Gu Qi treated them as his own family and didn't take it to heart at all.
He put the little tiger down - but unexpectedly the little guy grabbed his collar and shouted excitedly: "Dad! I want to ride in the car! I want to ride in the car!"
Chen Xingling looked at the jeep suspiciously and asked, "Whose car is this?"
Gu Qi smiled and explained, "This is from the factory's logistics department. After the meeting this morning, the factory director asked me to take a two-day break before returning to work. I said I would come to Huiqiao Village to pick you up, so the factory director asked the logistics department to hand me the car keys so that I could have a means of transportation."
"You can drive?" Chen Xingling asked curiously, "When did you learn it?"
Gu Qi replied: "When I was studying abroad, there was a car structure class. There was a real car in the class, so I learned to drive it and it didn't take long for me to learn it. After returning to Yucheng, I applied for a car driver's license. But I rarely go out and I don't have a car, so I can't use it for the time being."
