Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 234

Wu’an looked around the house, and said strangely, “Didn’t my sister-in-law say that the house should be returned to the original owners, and we must not move their things, so why did you clean it?”

Hearing that, Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin wanted to laugh, but Wu Qingyi looked away. Fortunately, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought about Wu Qingyi’s face, so no one explained it.

That was not the end, the family ate a casual dinner that day, and left the next morning.

The owner and his wife, who were staying at a friend’s house in the same village, came back. They saw that the outside of the house was very clean. In the backyard, there were even water tanks filled with water. 

They said, “You are very polite. You only built tombs on the back of the mountain, and it’s still far from the house. We are not that particular. There’s really no need to give us money and help us with the work!”

“Alas, our family members are both clean and diligent!” Mrs Wang said with a small smile.

The return date was set a long time ago, because that day was the day when the escort team in Hanshan Town delivered the goods and passed through Batou Village for the return journey.

They had Wu Qingyi, so they didn’t have to worry about encountering gangsters on the road anymore. Mrs. Wang and the others didn’t need to travel crowded with so many people on the road. So they rented a carriage from the security bureau, and arranged the itinerary by themselves.

Gu Yin originally wanted Mrs. Wang to go to the capital with Wu Qingyi first. After all, she and Father Wu had been separated for so many years, since she knew that he was alive, she must be thinking of him.

And she would follow the original plan and wait until everything in the store was arranged, and then go to Beijing with the Wen family.

Mrs. Wang refused and said, “I must send you back to the town first to feel at ease. When we arrive in the town, it will be the end of July and the beginning of August. Even if I leave immediately, it would not be too late to celebrate with your father. The original plan was to wait until the 16th of August to go to Beijing, otherwise even if I know that you are with the old master, I can’t help but worry. Our family has never been separated, and we will still go together. “

Mrs. Wang naturally wanted to be reunited with her husband as soon as possible, but it was only half a month to her plan. She had waited for eight years, so she didn’t think half a month was long.

Moreover, Gu Yin was also her heart. She just lost her and found her not long ago. If she couldn’t look at her, Mrs. Wang would not be able to sleep.

On the way back, Mrs. Wang and Wu Qingyi were sitting in the carriage and driving together during the day. The mother and son, who had been separated for so many years, naturally had endless things to say.

Especially on the fifteenth day, Wu Qingyi only briefly talked about his general experience over the years, so Mrs. Wang naturally had to ask carefully on the way.

Gu Yin took the two children on the carriage. Wu’an was also very excited those days. He was usually very quiet. But he asked to sit on the carriage and listen to his brother’s experiences over the years.

Hearing Wu Qingyi talking about his first military training, Wu’an cried out in excitement. Gu Yin pushed Gu Ye, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and asked him why he wasn’t listening.

“I don’t like to hear these things,” Gu Ye said.

A fool would believe it. He liked to join in the fun more than anyone else.

“Then don’t go, we mother and son will have a talk.” Gu Yin pulled him to her side and let him lean against her arms, “What happened to you these two days, can you talk to me?”

This child suddenly started talking less on July 15th, and it could be said that it was because he slept less the day before and was tired.

It was naturally not right to be that way everyday.

“Don’t you like him?” Gu Yin asked aloud. The child was very worried but just pursed his lips and said nothing.

Gu Ye immediately shook his head.

Gu Yin thought about it too. The kid was not very convinced by others, even Guan Caotou, who taught him martial arts. Although he was very polite to Guan Caotou, he didn’t praise him in private as he praised Wu Qingyi.

“What happened? I can’t guess.”

Gu Ye thought about it and said, “Wu’an said that the one who is married to my mother is my father.”

“Then you don’t want to call him dad?”

Gu Ye nodded.

“It’s okay, then you still call him uncle. You want to be my child, don’t you?”

Gu Ye nodded in her arms. After a while, he asked in a lower voice, “Will you have other children soon?”

Gu Yin was surprised when she heard that and she asked, “Why do you ask this?”

The child liked to listen to gossip every day. He went to Fucheng earlier, and when he came back, he said that the women were tigresses. Gu Yin wondered if he had listened to adult content that was not suitable for children.

Fortunately, Gu Ye didn’t say anything surprising, and just explained, “Fan Jinsong’s parents gave birth to a younger brother for him this year. And Little Fatty had a younger sister last year. I heard them say that this is normal if you have a father and a mother.”

They all said that since there were more brothers and sisters in the family, their mothers had become very strict, and they took care of their younger brother and sister every day, and had less concern about them.

He didn’t want to make his mother work hard, and he didn’t even want others to share his mother.

“Definitely not!” Gu Yin said decisively.

She was also a little embarrassed after saying that.

She and Wu Qingyi had been through adversity together. Because they knew each other, they didn’t mention divorce. Otherwise, if it was another person, maybe the relationship would have been dissolved.

But the two of them were only at the level of mutual affection at present, and it was definitely far from that level of relationship of having children.

“Really?!” Gu Ye immediately sat up from her arms.

He didn’t need Gu Yin to reassure him again, because his mother never lied to him.

He rubbed the top of his head against Gu Yin’s shoulder affectionately, and said quickly and excitedly, “Actually, it won’t take long. It will take a few more years for me to grow up. When I can’t be by your side every day, you can still have other children. At that time, I will earn a lot of money to help you raise my younger brothers and sisters…”

Hearing that, Gu Yin blushed, and quickly covered his mouth, begging for mercy, “Little ancestor, don’t mention this again!”

It was not easy to raise a baby. At the age of five, he was telling her that. Gu Yin would rather he expressed his unfavorability like at the beginning.

After the mother and son finished whispering, Gu Ye couldn’t sit still, and quickly got out of the carriage to listen to Wu Qingyi talking about things in the army.

Gu Yin was naturally happy that they got along well and didn’t stop him.

Wu Qingyi wasn’t actually showing but he also found that Gu Ye seemed a little hostile to him in the past two days. He was not very good at coaxing children, but he just guessed that Gu Ye would like to hear it, so he deliberately talked about leading troops to fight.

The carriage was not particularly spacious, so there was no room for them to sit side by side. Wu’an listened in Mrs. Wang’s arms.

Wu Qingyi had the reins to drive the carriage, and it was inconvenient if someone sat in his arms. Gu Ye thought that it was the same as sitting behind the curtain of the carriage, so he wanted to climb back.

However, Wu Qingyi asked him, “Do you want to sit on my shoulder?”

It was very common for a father to let a child of a few years old sit on his neck. Gu Ye used to see it often in the town, and he also heard from Little Fatty that when he was six or seven years old, his father even let him ride on his shoulder. As for the street, sitting high and seeing far away was so much fun.

It was a pity that Little Fatty was really getting fatter, and he was growing fast, so he didn’t get that kind of treatment anymore.

Gu Ye heard him say it a few times, but he didn’t take it seriously. He thought it was not so fun sitting on a person’s shoulders. Anyway, sooner or later, he would grow taller.

He might not be interested in normal times, but Wu Qingyi intended to drive. Did sitting on his shoulders mean that he was driving?

Gu Ye, who once tried to secretly drive a donkey cart in Hanshan Town immediately nodded in response.
