Li Dahua and Zhang Zaohua were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. At this time, a meeting was still going on in the Gujia Village Brigade Headquarters. Gu Lei was talking incessantly at the table, while Gu Haisheng was sitting below in a daze.

who am I? where am I?

The more he listened, the wider his eyes widened. Gu Qingyu is now the deputy director of the county’s agricultural bureau?

Is Gu Qingyu going to build a greenhouse in Gujia Village to grow mushrooms?

The others were also shocked when they heard this. Gu Qingyu and the others knew her too well. She was the eldest daughter of Li Dahua's second son. Everyone present had seen her when she was a child.

Recently, Li Dahua has been telling people in the village every day that her granddaughter is coming back, but she never said how her granddaughter will come back!

"Haisheng, you are so tight-lipped that you don't leak any information!" The person who spoke had a good relationship with Gu Haisheng and pointed at him while speaking.

Gu Haisheng felt that he was really wronged. He was whispering to his wife last night that the man had come back to seek refuge. Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed!

Gu Haisheng should indeed be thankful that he was just muttering in his heart, but Zhang Qianqian from the third family was not so lucky.

Gu Husheng and his family of three had returned to the commune early in the morning, so Zhang Qianqian missed the opportunity to learn about this news. As a result, she not only offended Gu Qingyu a few days later, but also offended her husband's immediate superior.

Gu Haisheng's meeting lasted a long time. When it finally ended, when he hurried home, the Gu family's dinner was already over.

Not caring about his already hungry stomach, Gu Haisheng ran to Gu Qingyu with his eyes shining as soon as he saw Gu Qingyu. Without saying a word, he just walked around Gu Qingyu several times.

It was his wife Yang Niuhua who couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward and tugged at his clothes, bringing him back to his senses.

Gu Qingyu felt very uncomfortable being looked at by her second cousin, so she had no choice but to ask, "Second brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Um... nothing, I'm just too excited! I just want to take a closer look at what our golden phoenix looks like."

"They're all surnamed Gu, why are there such big differences?"

Gu Qingyu was speechless when she heard this and rolled her eyes silently in her heart. Why does her cousin have a funny personality?

Then Gu Haisheng turned around and looked at Gu Ping and Zhang Zaohua who were smiling happily. The two of them were confused and wondered what their second kid was up to.

All I could hear was Gu Haisheng saying helplessly, "Like father, like father! I must have taken after my parents!"

After saying that, he sighed deeply!

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Ping and Zhang Zaohua were immediately furious. If their grandchildren were not right next to them, they would have found a stick to beat Gu Haisheng up.

You really deserve to be punished!

When the others heard this, they all looked at Gu Haisheng with an indescribable expression. They had never realized that this kid was stupid.

I left the living room for my nephews to do their homework, and everyone else went back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Qingyu was still thinking about Li Yansong whom she met in the morning, so she pulled Li Dahua into her room.

"Grandma, let's go to my room and talk!"

"What are you talking about?" Li Dahua looked at Gu Qingyu who looked like he wanted to eat some melon and said unhappily.

It's funny to say, besides liking to play in the mountains since childhood, Gu Qingyu's favorite thing is to follow her to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village to listen to the gossip of the aunts and ladies in the village.

That little expression was exactly the same as the one she had just now!

"Hehe! The one who understands me best is my grandma!" Gu Qingyu sat on the edge of the bed holding Li Dahua's arm, laughing in a fawning manner.

"This morning I went to the end of the village and ran into the new family that came to our village. I heard from Yousheng that this person is related to you. How come I never knew you had such a relative?" Gu Qingyu looked at Li Dahua and asked angrily.

"We haven't been in touch for many years. I thought he was gone, but I never thought I would see him again!" Li Dahua said with emotion when she saw that Gu Qingyu asked this.

"To be honest, you should call Old Man Li your uncle, and the Li Yansong you met should be called your cousin!"

Huh? Gu Qingyu was speechless. How come he had two more relatives?

"My father and Old Man Li's father are sworn brothers, and our two families treat each other like relatives."

Gu Qingyu was confused. Blood oath? Why did this sound like banditry?

Gu Qingyu accidentally said what he was muttering in his heart. Li Dahua looked at Gu Qingyu strangely, which made Qingyu confused.

"What's wrong, milk?"

"Didn't I tell you? Your great-grandfather was born a bandit!"

"Huh?" Gu Qingyu quickly shook her head.

"Oh, that's what I forgot. I thought I told you a long time ago."

No! Absolutely not! How could Gu Qingyu not remember such important news if I told her?

"Alright! Let me continue. When the little days were causing chaos in China, most of the young and strong men in the village went down the mountain to join the army."

"The elderly, weak, women and children left in the village couldn't survive in the mountains, so they gradually went down the mountain to seek a living."

"At first, the two families kept in touch, but later lost contact due to the war. Until now, Old Man Li has returned with his grandson to settle down."

As Li Dahua spoke, she seemed to be thinking of those people she would never see again, and her tone became sad. Seeing this, Gu Qingyu quickly moved over to hug Li Dahua and patted her to comfort her.

Seeing that Li Dahua had recovered, Gu Qingyu asked, "Where have they lived all these years? Why did the two of them come back to settle down?"

It turned out that Li Guangbo was conscripted by the National Army as soon as he came down the mountain, but before they could be sent to the battlefield, the team was dispersed by the Japanese army.

Li Guangbo was discovered by a Chinese guerrilla force nearby. Seeing his remarkable skills, they recruited him into the guerrilla force. He later fought with the team all the way to the final victory.

After years of fighting, when he finally had time to look for his family, his parents and first wife had passed away, and only his only son, Li Mancang, was found.

Li Guangbo naturally tried his best to compensate his only son. As the saying goes, a poor man suddenly becomes rich, and Li Mancang was suddenly lost in the wealth.

"At that time, not only was there chaos and war outside, but the crops also suffered from drought and poor harvests for years. Guess the old people in the Li family had all passed away, and Li Mancang was just a little boy of only nine years old. How did he survive?" Li Dahua asked Gu Qingyu to guess.

How could Gu Qingyu guess this? So she shook Li Dahua's arm and urged coquettishly, "Grandma, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly!"

"On her deathbed, Mrs. Li used a bag of wheat from a passing family fleeing famine to exchange for a child bride seven years older than Li Mancang. That's when she passed away!"

Ah! Child bride?

Now Gu Qingyu knew how Li Mancang survived!
