Gu Xuchen said gratefully: "Brother and sister, I'm really sorry, Zi'an has already troubled you, but I didn't expect Ziyan to trouble you and Huachen." ”

Xiao Xuan: "Big brother, the family doesn't talk to each other, Zi'an is now older, and he can be regarded as half a helper." You can go back to the city first, I don't know what the situation is there!"

An Tiantian's reluctance to her youngest son, Xiao Xuan saw it clearly, and added: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I know that if there is a way, you will not leave the child here." Don't think about it!"

It is difficult for Xiao Xuan to tell her mood at this time, if it were her, she would definitely not choose to be separated from her child.

Although, perhaps, An Tiantian is for the sake of the child, they have never thought that the growth path of a child without their parents by their side is completely different from the growth path of having their parents by their side.

She is like this, Gu Zi'an is like this, and now Gu Ziyan is the same when she leaves her parents at such a young age.

Take the current Gu Zi'an as an example, when he looks at his parents, there is no longer admiration, and some are only polite and alienated. Is this really for the good of the child?

For Xiao Xuan, who already has seven children, she thinks: she definitely doesn't want to see her children look at her like that. People who have never been a mother do not understand that after becoming a mother, Xiao Xuan will never let this happen.

However, at this time, she can't say that this set of theories is, everyone thinks about problems in different ways, and since they have all decided, she doesn't care about one more baby.

In this way, Gu Shouwu took his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law on a new journey back to the city, leaving his eldest grandson and youngest grandson in the extreme north.

This reminded Xiao Xuan of a lot of documentary novels of the red era that he had read in his first life.

Tens of thousands of young people in the countryside who have gone to the countryside to support rural construction have left their children in the countryside when they return to the city, either with the villagers or with the other half who have not returned to the city, but most of these children who have stayed in the countryside end in tragedy.

If this is a product of the world, it is better to say that it is due to human nature.

Xiao Xuan didn't have time to sigh about these things, in addition to the fact that she was responsible for the food of several old people during the busy farming season, she also had to prepare gifts for the master's family to return to the city.

That's right, at the end of July, they received a notice to return to the city, and in the second batch of return to the city, Ji Xiangming and Zhang Yueyue will both return to B University and continue to teach in their original positions.

From the news that his father-in-law Gu Shouwu brought back, he also told Ji Xiangming and his wife that the house they used to have and the state had also returned it to them, and it would be good for them to go back to receive it.

In addition, all those who return to the city will be paid back the salary of the position they were in before going to the countryside.

At the same time, Gu Shouwu also brought good news about the Zhou brothers. Before he could exert his strength, he found the names of the Zhou brothers in the list of the third batch of people who returned to the city.

The name, location, and reason for rehabilitation all match, and the time to return to the city is set for the fourth quarter of 75 years, and the house will be vacated after the autumn harvest at the latest, Xiao Xuan thought.

Whether it is Ji Xiangming and his wife, or the Zhou brothers, Xiao Xuan has prepared a generous gift for them to take back.

The master's family will definitely continue to communicate in the future, after all, Gu Huachen's home is in City B.

After the Zhou brothers returned to the south, it is difficult to say whether they will continue to communicate.

In the far north, the Zhou brothers gave Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen a source of knowledge, Xiao Xuan kept them healthy and peaceful, it should be said that the cause and effect were also exhausted, and the rest was the cause and effect later.

————

January 21, 76 years, the great cold, the twenty-first day of the lunar month of the 75th year of the lunar calendar.

In two days, it will be the New Year in the north, and in the evening, Gu Huachen came back with Xiao Xuan's New Year's gift, and while he was still in the courtyard, he saw a few little black heads lying on the window of the hall, "Mom, Mom, Mom is back!"

"Auntie, Auntie is back!" Naturally, it was Gu Ziyan's child who called Auntie.

"Four, five, six, seven, Ziyan, come down quickly. Gu Zixiao, a five-year-old treasure, saw his five younger brothers standing on a stool and pulling the window to look outside, like a cub protector.

If it weren't for being detained by the three elder brothers, it is estimated that this group of boys would have jumped out of the house as early as when Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen were at the gate of the courtyard.

Among the seven dolls of Xiao Xuan's family, one, two, three, four, and five look like a copy of the trumpet Gu Huachen. Especially when four or five small people do bad things, it is really like Xiao Xuan when he first saw Gu Huachen, he was full of ruffianism.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are the ones who look the most like Xiao Xuan. Xiaoliu looks like the original owner, quiet and sensitive, with a delicate baby face.

Xiao Qi looks like Xiao Xuan now, with a tall nose, which makes the little face that should have been soft look a little tougher than Xiao Liu. On the surface, it seems to be active, but in fact it is quiet, and the degree of blackness is worse than that of the third child.

However, in Xiao Xuan's view, Xiao Qi is a child with a story, even if he has adult thinking from time to time, he is still a child, so he is more careful in his daily education.

In short, each of the seven children has its own characteristics.

"There is still a small banquet in four, five, six, seven, did you listen to your brothers today?" Xiao Xuan entered the room, took off his hat and cotton coat, and asked the eight little boys who came up around him.

"Obedient, obedient, we are all obedient, Mom (auntie), do you have anything to reward us?" Xiao Liu hurriedly asked.

"Yes, is it okay for Mom to draw a picture for you in the evening, you should discuss what you want Mommy to draw? Mommy should wash her hands first. "I haven't drawn for a long time, but I can practice my hands, and when the time comes, I will also draw Gu Huachen into it, which seems to be very good.

Xiao Xuan took advantage of a few small heads to discuss what he wanted his mother to draw, and went to the cubicle next to him to wash his hands and face.

This compartment was made by Gu Huachen later, half by hand and half by magic, and the sewer led to the large pool in the backyard. In order to have more children, especially in winter, it is inconvenient to wash hands and go to the toilet.

Since the master and the others returned to the city one after another, the wooden house next door was empty, and Gu Zi'an originally proposed that he and Uncle Kewu live over there, and vacate the big house here for the eight brothers to live in (plus a boy banquet).

Later, Jing Kewu considered that it was inconvenient for the old lady to live alone, so it was better to move in and live with the old lady and take care of it. After discussing with the old lady, the old lady agreed.

After Gu Huachen took Jing Kewu to the village chief to report, he neatly turned Xiao Xuan's original room into two. The inner room is used as a bedroom for two people, and the outer room is divided into a studio.

The original room of Jing Kewu and Gu Zi'an became the room of the eight brothers, but fortunately, the room was large, the kang was also large, and the eight children were even more willing to sleep (play) on the big kang alone.
