When Gu Qingyu and the others arrived home, dinner had already been prepared and was waiting for them to come back and eat.

"Dad, Mom! We're back!" Gu Qingzhi started shouting before she even reached the door of her house.

"You're back, so why are you yelling?" Zhang Zaohua, who was looking around in the yard, saw her youngest son and daughter coming back, and happily went out to greet them.

Of course, although she was happy in her heart, she still didn't forget to criticize her little daughter.

"Lululu!" Gu Qingzhi ignored her mother's nagging, made a face at her, handed over the schoolbag, and rushed into the house.

Zhang Zaohua didn't care about her crazy girl, turned around and walked to her youngest son to ask about his well-being.

"Xiaobao, are you tired from studying? Mom made some chicken soup tonight. You should drink a few bowls later to replenish your body. You've lost weight from studying so hard!"

Gu Xisheng's personality is a bit like that of Old Man Gu. He usually doesn't like to talk much, but in response to his mother's concern, he still patiently responded.

When Gu Qingyu walked to the front of the main hall, she saw Li Dahua standing at the door looking out. When she saw her come in, she immediately walked over, held Gu Qingyu's hand and rubbed it in her palm.

"Oh, look at how cold you are after being outside all day. Your little hands are so cold. Go to the kitchen and wash them with hot water first!" As he said that, he pushed Gu Qingyu to wash her face.

Gu Qingyu couldn't help but feel warm at the sight of this, and agreed crisply, "Okay, grandma! I'll go right away!"

Perhaps because she was thinking about going to the county town with Gu Qingyu tomorrow, Li Dahua was a little absent-minded during the entire meal.

It was Gu Dahu who noticed this first and began to comfort Li Dahua.

"Old woman, are you afraid of going to the county alone?"

When Li Dahua heard this, she immediately jumped up and retorted, "What are you afraid of? Who is afraid?"

How could Li Dahua, who has been strong all her life, say she was afraid?

"Oh, it was my mistake!" Gu Dahu admitted his mistake tactfully after hearing that.

Zhang Zaohua, the daughter-in-law, understood her mother-in-law very well and said, "I think you miss your third sister. It's a good opportunity to go back to the county and live there. We can visit your third sister from time to time!"

Li Dahua glanced at Zhang Zaohua. She didn't expect that she was quite perceptive this time, so she walked down the stairs and said, "Well, that's what happened!"

Gu Qingyu also reacted at this time and quickly comforted the old lady, "Grandma, where I live now is not far from my third aunt's house. When you go there, I will show you the way."

"I heard you say before that my eldest cousin's daughter is very cute. Once she's settled in, you can visit your little great-grandson every day!"

Gu Qingyu's words seemed to have touched Li Dahua's heart, and sure enough, she no longer looked so sad.

The family had a good reunion dinner and went back to the house to rest early, as they had to get up early tomorrow!

The next day, it was still dark outside, but everyone in the Gu family had already gotten up. Zhang Zaohua was busy in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone, while Li Dahua and Gu Dahu were checking the packages they had packed yesterday one by one, fearing that anything was missed.

After a quick and hasty breakfast, everyone packed up and went to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

The Gu family had contacted Gu Qingshan yesterday and asked him to help send Gu Qingyu and the others to the commune.

Of course, since it was not the village's fixed market time to go to the commune, the gas money had to be paid by himself. Gu Dahu went to the brigade headquarters early yesterday morning to pay the money.

"Old woman, Qingyu is usually at work and no one is home, so you can go hang out at my daughter's house. I called my daughter yesterday. When you get to the county, my daughter and the others will pick you up. Don't get lost!"

Gu Dahu had never been separated from Li Dahua in his entire life, so he was a little uncomfortable with this sudden separation.

Since last night, Gu Dahu has been nagging in Li Dahua's ear, which made her unable to sleep well all night.

"Okay, shut up! I've said this over and over again four or five times. Besides, it's not like I won't be coming back."

Unable to bear it any longer, Li Dahua started scolding Gu Dahu.

Gu Qingyu and the other children couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Fearing that the old man would lose face, Gu Qingyu stepped forward, took the two old men's arms and said, "Grandpa, if you are really worried, why don't you come with us later?"

"No, there's work to do at home. If your grandma and I go, your uncle and his family won't be able to handle it!"

After thinking for a while, Gu Dahu said to Gu Qingyu awkwardly, "After I'm done with this, I think I'll go to the county and stay for a few days if I have time."

No matter how reluctant I was, I had to leave, otherwise I would miss the bus to the county town.

After dropping off Gu Xisheng and his sister at the commune middle school, the tractor turned around and went straight to the bus station.

Because it was the starting station, some people had already boarded the bus. Gu Qingshan parked the tractor and helped Gu Qingyu load the luggage onto the bus before leaving.

"Grandma, are you okay? Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first." Afraid that Li Dahua would get carsick, Gu Qingyu specially chose a seat by the window and helped Li Dahua sit down before asking.

"It's okay, you sit down and rest too!" Li Dahua was not as tired as Gu Qingyu thought. After all, she came here by car, which was much easier than walking before.

The car started slowly. Li Dahua, who didn't sleep well last night, was not carsick at all. She leaned against Gu Qingyu and slowly fell asleep.

When Li Dahua woke up, the car had already arrived near the county town and was only more than ten minutes away from the station.

Li Dahua had been to the county town several times in her early years when Gu Yue married her. Although she felt a little unfamiliar with the place after not being there for many years, she still recognized the county party committee compound.

Just then, when the car passed by the county party committee compound, Li Dahua pulled Gu Qingyu and said, "Qingyu, you will be working here from now on, right?"

"Yes, grandma! But my office is near Xiaoxi Gate, not far from where we live. I'll take you there to find out where it is!"

"Mom! Over here!" Suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the car window.

It turned out that while Gu Qingyu and Li Dahua were talking, the train had already stopped at the station. Gu Yue, standing on the platform, saw Li Dahua sitting by the window at a glance.

"Yue! Mom is here!" Li Dahua became excited when she heard her daughter's voice. She quickly opened the car window and waved to her daughter and son-in-law outside.

"Grandma, don't be impatient. Let's wait for others to get off first!" Seeing that the old lady was about to get off the bus, Gu Qingyu hurriedly stopped her.

Everyone was in a hurry to get off the bus, and it would be a mess if the old lady got bumped into something. After most people in the carriage had gotten off, Gu Qingyu and Li Dahua got off the bus leisurely.

Third uncle Sun Zetao hurried forward to take the luggage and picked it up, while Gu Yue took Li Dahua's arm and followed Gu Qingyu towards the family compound.
