Jiang Defu then introduced Gu Yu to his wife An Jie and his two children, National Day and Military Day.

"Xiao Yu, do you feel dizzy when riding a boat? This is your brother Guoqing and brother Junqing. They will protect you from now on."

An Jie squatted down, held Gu Yu's little hand and spoke softly.

"Chief of Staff Jiang, this is the letter Secretary Gu wrote to you. Here are some of Secretary Gu's belongings, including his pension, and Xiaoyu's luggage."

Liu Sheng first took out a letter, then handed the suitcase in his hand to Jiang Defu. As he spoke, tears began to fall.

Jiang Defu's hand holding the letter trembled slightly. He took the suitcase, put it on the ground, and opened the envelope directly.

As Jiang Defu watched, his eyes turned red and he tried hard to hold back his tears.

The letter recalled their previous experiences on the battlefield, expressing his regret that he could not see the new China getting better and better, could not accompany Gu Yu to grow up, and did not fulfill his father's responsibilities.

He entrusted Gu Yu to him earnestly and explained the reason.

In addition to being fellow villagers, they are also comrades-in-arms. They are also concerned about the natural disasters in recent years.

At this time, Songshan Island, isolated from the mainland, was not affected much, and seemed like a paradise.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Gu Gang used his burning ideals to burn himself for the well-being of his family and country.

At the last moment of his fight against the disease, he could not help but think about his son Gu Yu.

After Jiang Defu finished reading the letter, he looked out at the sea and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The villagers who came with Gu Yu and Liu Sheng took down all the things they brought and came to Liu Sheng.

After confirming with him that the person in front of him was Gu Gang's comrade-in-arms, he suddenly knelt down, which frightened Jiang Defu.

"No, no, what are you doing? Get up!"

Jiang Defu quickly pulled up the person in front of him, and called An Jie and Liu Sheng, as well as the soldiers who had brought the moving tools, to help the person up.

Gu Yu also trotted over and helped Jiang Defu pull up the leader.

Because he had been in contact with Liu Sheng before and knew that they had brought a lot of things, Jiang Defu also called for help.

"You must be Chief of Staff Jiang, Secretary Gu's comrade-in-arms, right? I'll leave Xiaoyu in your care.

It is the folks in our county who let him down, for he lost his parents at such a young age.

Secretary Gu is our great benefactor. If it weren't for him, I don't know how many people would have starved to death in recent years.

We ask you to take good care of this child. You are a person that Secretary Gu trusts, so you will definitely be right.

We are just worried. We can't read or speak, but we just ask you to take good care of him.

If you have difficulty taking care of him, please let us know and we will take the child back.

Our county is poor, but we will raise this child even if we have to sell everything we have. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the child's parents? "

The middle-aged man who was in the lead cried. He was tall and thin, with weathered skin and calluses on his hands from farm work.

Jinling County is an agricultural county. In this era, there are not many people who have truly left agricultural production, and the urban population is very small.

The villagers who followed behind also burst into tears. In their hearts, they were grateful for the memory of the deceased Secretary Gu and felt guilty for Gu Yu who had become an orphan.

"Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of him. Brother Gu and I are from the same hometown and are comrades in arms.

He was not only my guide on the road to revolution, but also saved my life on the battlefield.

Don't worry, I will treat Xiaoyu as my own child."

Jiang Defu held his hand tightly and said it with certainty as if he was swearing.

Liu Sheng and the folks from Jinling County did not stay for dinner. After bidding farewell to Gu Yu reluctantly, they set out on their journey home, which would take two or three days.

"Xiao Yu, this is your new home. Is it okay? Isn't this yard quite big? You can play here with your two brothers in the future."

Jiang Defu held Gu Yu in his arms and introduced him to life on the island along the way until they arrived at their residence.

Although Gu Yu has the memory of an adult, he cried when they parted just now, and his eyes are still red.

After Jiang Defu ordered the soldiers to place the things brought by Liu Sheng and his party in the yard and put them away later, the couple took Gu Yu into the inner room first.

The house was allocated to Jiang Defu by the army according to the salary of a division-level cadre. At that time, he lived in a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

There is a row of wash basins at the entrance, facing the dining room, and to the left is the living room, and inside is Jiang Defu Anjie's master bedroom.

There are two bedrooms on the right side of the dining room, another bedroom and kitchen in front, and a private bathroom in the yard.

And from the location, this is a small courtyard with sea view, and the living conditions are very good even for modern times.

"Xiaoyu, this is your bedroom. We have decorated it a little bit. I don't know if you like it."

Anjie held Gu Yu's little hand and asked softly, with a hint of uncertainty and nervousness in her tone.

Gu Yu also looked at his bedroom, which was next to the dining room. It should have been the room of Jiang Yafei and Jiang Yaning, who were not yet born.

The room is very large, and even after placing the bed, cabinets, and tables, it still looks spacious.

There are also wind chimes decorated with shells, a small wooden horse beside the bed, and a display cabinet with various toys, wooden swords, and wooden guns.

Gu Yu could feel the intentions of Jiang Defu and his wife. Although he still wanted to play with these toys,

Anyway, Guoqing and Junqing, who were following their parents, stared with wide eyes, full of envy at seeing these things.

However, their good family education made them realize that these were all new brothers, and their parents reiterated to them many times that they must take good care of Gu Yu.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt. I'm sorry for the trouble. I like it very much," Gu Yu bowed obediently to An Jie and Jiang Defu.

Looking at the sensible Gu Yu, An Jie couldn't help feeling sad and distressed. He hugged Gu Yu tightly and tears were about to fall.

"Xiao Yu, don't be so polite to us in the future. We are at home now." Jiang Defu wanted to say something, but then he thought that Gu Yu had just arrived and he would definitely need time to adapt.

"Well, on National Day and Military Day, you should have fun with Xiaoyu and remember what your parents told you.

Anjie, let's go pack Xiaoyu's luggage. It's getting late, and we should prepare dinner."

Jiang Defu smiled and pulled up An Jie, who was squatting on the ground holding Gu Yu, and gave him a few instructions.

"Yes, that's right. It's National Day and Military Day. You are the older brothers, so you have to take good care of your younger brothers. Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."

Anjie stood up, wiped his tears, and asked softly,

"I'm fine with anything. I love to eat anything." Gu Yu answered in a baby voice, and received another smiling pat on the head from An Jie.

The couple left Gu Yu's bedroom to give the children some time to get familiar with each other.

"I am Jiang Guoqing, he is my younger brother, Jiang Junqing,

Dad said, from now on you are our brother, we will definitely protect you."

Guoqing patted his chest and promised like a little adult, and Junqing also nodded vigorously.

Wouldn't it be more convincing if I could wipe my nose?

Also, can you please lessen your gaze on the toys?

Gu Yu looked at the two children in front of him with a helpless expression. You have to know that he is 27 years old in his heart, while the one opposite him is 6 years old and the other is 4 and a half years old.
