Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

Gu Jun glanced at the two cats surrounding Gu Xi's feet and said thoughtfully, "Maybe they're still the same two as before."

Light snowflakes began to fall outside. Shu Yun said goodbye, Gu Jun carried Gu Xi, and the family of three slowly descended the mountain.

Shu Yun glanced back at the gravesite, where two cats, one black and one white, were lying nearby, licking the offerings.

As the year drew to a close, the family arrived at the train station with large bags and small packages of luggage.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the train station is busier than ever. Some people are leaving with Shu Yun's family, carrying large and small bags, while others are returning with large and small bags.

"Wow." Gu Xi was being led by Shu Yun with one hand, walking forward on her heels, but her head was turned to the side, as if the bustling train station was also a unique sight.

Gu Jun put the luggage away, picked up Gu Xi, and carried Shu Yun onto the train.

As the whistle sounded, the train slowly started moving. At first, Gu Xi could still hold onto the window and watch the scenery rushing past, but after a while, she started yawning.

The little body scurried into Shu Yun's arms, its tiny hands clutching its mother's clothes, "Sleepy."

Shu Yun gently patted his back, "Go to sleep."

Before long, the little guy started snoring, and Shu Yun yawned in response.

Gu Jun said softly, "Give me the child, you go to sleep first."

Shu Yun had two big dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't try to be brave. She nodded and said, "I'll sleep for a while. If you get sleepy, just call me and we can take turns."

There are many people on the train, and many pickpockets. It's not very reassuring to have the whole family asleep.

Gu Jun rubbed Shu Yun's head. "Okay, go to sleep."

Last night, the little guy was going on his first long trip and was so excited that he couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, he came to their room, huffing and puffing, carrying his little pillow.

When Gu Jun heard the noise, he thought it was a little mouse.

There was no other way but to let the little one lie between the two adults. He would roll over, wiggle his bottom, and poke his parents' arms, keeping the three of them awake all night. They all woke up with big dark circles under their eyes.

If Gu Jun's biological clock hadn't been so punctual, waking the mother and son up, they might have already missed their train.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to take the train home today, Shu Yun would definitely have given the little guy a good spanking; his little bottom was itching for a beating.

The little guy's face was rosy as he slept. Shu Yun hadn't slept very soundly on the train, only sleeping for a few hours before waking up and telling Gu Jun to take a nap too.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the family of three regained their energy, and the carriage was filled with the aroma of various dishes.

Shu Yun took out the flatbread she had made that morning to eat. It was already cold and the taste wasn't very good. Gu Xi loved to eat, but she was also picky. She only took a few bites before pouting and putting the flatbread down. "Mom, I don't want to eat this. I want to eat milk candy."

Before Shu Yun could speak, Gu Jun said seriously, "No, you have to finish the cake before you can have candy."

Gu Xi was unhappy and whispered, "It doesn't taste good, I don't want to eat it."

Just then, a piercing cry came from outside the carriage, "Waaah, Mommy's bad!"

There was a little kid outside who refused to eat and was making a huge fuss. His mother got angry and, in front of everyone, spread half of the child's bottom open and started hitting him, yelling, "Are you going to eat or not? Are you going to eat or not?"

With crisp slapping sounds, several red handprints quickly appeared on the tender white bottom. The little guy's crying gradually weakened, and he soon gave in, sobbing, "Tsk, tsk."

She was crying so hard she couldn't even speak clearly.

Gu Xi swallowed hard, her mind filled with the red handprint on the child's bottom.

Gu Jun seized the opportunity to ask, "Gu Xi, are you still going to eat?"

Gu Xi jumped up and stood up straight, answering reflexively, "Eat, I'll eat, I'm a good baby."

The little guy is very proud; he can't imagine how humiliating and painful it would be to have his pants pulled down and be spanked in front of so many people.

Without Shu Yun and Gu Jun urging him, the little guy spontaneously and consciously sat down in his seat, holding the pancake in his little hands, taking bites one by one. Although he was eating the pancake, he inexplicably ate it with a sense of fearlessness, which was quite funny.

With the little guy so serious, Shu Yun and Gu Jun had no choice but to suppress their laughter.

Hmm... We should also give the child face and not let them laugh.

The train kept stopping and starting, and when Shu Yun finally got off, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.

I had called ahead of time to come back, so as soon as I got off the train, I saw the old lady Wang Xiuwen and Brother Gu waiting for me outside.

As soon as Shu Yun and the others walked out of the train station, the old lady spotted them instantly with her sharp eyes. She grabbed her dull-witted eldest son, who was still looking around, and ran all the way to Shu Yun's side.

"Oh my, Grandma's grandson! I've missed you so much!" Wang Xiuwen hugged the little guy tightly, looking very affectionate.

When Wang Xiuwen came to take care of Shu Yun, Gu Xi was too young to remember anything. In recent years, she had been busy with work and lived far away, and they hadn't seen each other for several years. So Gu Xi no longer recognized the grandmother who had held him since he was an infant. He was a little flustered when being held, but fortunately, the little guy was polite. He didn't open his eyes when the old woman held him and called out in a babyish voice, "Grandma."

The old lady was so happy! She kept calling her "darling," "sweetheart," and "precious child," switching between these affectionate terms.

Since it wasn't convenient for Brother Gu to have much conversation with his sister-in-law, he simply nodded as a greeting. Then, Brother Gu looked at Gu Jun and finally smiled, "Good lad, you finally remembered to come back."

After spending time with her beloved grandson, Wang Xiuwen held Gu Xi's little hand as she walked beside Shu Yun, talking to her.

Wang Xiuwen said with some regret, "How about Ah Xi? Is he still strong and healthy?"

Shu Yun: "He's very strong and big. When he goes out, the kids in the yard don't dare to come near him."

The old lady worriedly instructed, "Axi is a wolfhound, and his appetite is much larger than that of ordinary dogs. You can't let Axi go hungry; he needs to eat meat."

Shu Yun was both amused and exasperated. "I know, I know, I haven't mistreated it."

This time, Tian Xiufen was also taking her husband and son home, so it wasn't convenient to leave Axi with her. Gu Jun asked the sentry on duty to come to the house to feed Axi every day at mealtimes.

Ah-happy is usually well-behaved; a dog like him doesn't have much to do at home.

Finally, Wang Xiuwen glanced at her tall son beside her and whispered, "How is Dajun? Is he good to you and the baby? If not, tell me today, and I'll spank him."

Gu Jun: ...

The old lady's voice was quite loud, and he could hear it clearly from the side.

Well, I have mixed feelings. He was prepared for this; his status in his mother's heart was lower than that of her son and daughter-in-law. But now, he's not even as important as a dog!

The first thing they talked about was their beloved grandson, then their daughter-in-law, then Ah-happy, and only finally did they mention him, and it was his wife who complained about him.
